Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

“This year has changed!”

"The original No. 7 and No. 8, two third-year starters, have been replaced!"

"Those two..."

"He's only about 175cm tall. Did you see that? Considering the recent rumors circulating in Tokyo, does anyone have any thoughts?"

After hearing what Captain Nantani Hiroyuki said, everyone in Darenduo was stunned, and then they were ecstatic!

"Eh?! Those two legendary super-powerful first-year rookies?!"

"First grade? How could a first grader possibly be the starting player for God's Light?"

"So, is there a possibility that the original starters, Sho Izawa and Asahi Nanagi, have problems, and Teikou Junior High School is so weak that no one can replace them, so they have to replace them with new players?"

"No way?"

"That's the wealthy Teikou clan with over a hundred members!"

"Then how do you explain it? Nanagi Asahi is fine, but Izawa Sho is a power forward. And in the end, you chose a 175cm tall freshman to play power forward?"

"..."

The coach of Darenduo Middle School, seeing that the captain had mobilized the momentum that had just hit rock bottom, immediately followed suit, not wanting the players to consider more details.

"Everyone!"

"So we still have a chance to defeat Teikou and advance to the next round!"

"Those two starting freshmen are the breakthrough point!"

"Everyone has been through first grade, so you should all know exactly what level you were at back then. Even Teikou couldn't possibly break this iron rule!"

"Most of you..."

"But they've trained two years harder than the first-year players! Their hard work and dedication, and even their physical growth over time, are absolutely proportional to their strength!"

"Go defeat those two first years!"

"Take the victory!"

The hope that fell from the sky at this moment made all the players in Darenduo's eyes light up!

Although their Darenduo Middle School has performed far worse than the other team in previous Tokyo district preliminaries, they are even outclassed when compared with each other.

but……

Just like the coach said, years of persistent hard work!

There is no one on this stage who doesn’t have the dream of going national!

Teiko Middle School!

Two first-year starters!

That’s right!

absolute……

Today is the day!

Chapter 052: Two first-year students of Teiko turned around and broke through Darenduo Middle School!

"Don't think too much! Show us your true abilities!"

At Darento Junior High School, the third-year team leader, Hiroyuki Minamitani, shouted an encouraging cry.

"That's right!" Everyone nodded.

"We will never lose to a new kid who's only been playing junior high school basketball for a few months!"

On the bench, the players of Darenduo wanted to cause trouble for the two freshmen in Teiko's starting lineup.

On the other side, Shigure Akito, who was changing his sneakers, was also treating the other side as a copy to be cleared, looking forward to the crisp ding sound from the system.

however……

There was absolutely no movement.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Darenduo. At this moment, the players on the opposing side clearly had a strong fighting spirit and looked eager to try.

Shigure Akito: "..."

But in fact……

Is it so ordinary?

During this period, Shi Yu had already figured out the rules for issuing system tasks.

Generally speaking, long-term tasks, such as the current 'first championship' and 'Teiko's first start', will be released long in advance, while last-minute game tasks will appear from time to time depending on the opponent's 'condition'.

This "situation" may be related to the overall strength of the opponent team or the strength of a certain player. Sometimes, it may also be some unexpected events, such as provocation from the opponent.

But today, clearly it was the first match of the National Competition, but there was no task prompt at all just before the start of the competition. This clearly meant that the opponent was completely incompetent and even had no characteristics at all.

In this situation, all you can ultimately get is the most basic victory settlement after defeating your opponent.

Compared to the special tasks before the game, this reward is pitifully small.

……

soon.

Players from both sides came on the court to warm up.

The players of Darenduo Middle School secretly looked at the two first-year starters of Teiko Middle School opposite them.

Among them, No. 7 was controlling the ball while strolling along the sidelines of the court, looking towards them from time to time. His expression was quite strange, inexplicably like a teacher watching a student fail an exam.

the other side.

Number 8 from Teiko Junior High School.

This guy is even weirder. The others are warming up by practicing shooting, layups, passing and cutting, but that number 7 is at least controlling the ball and strolling around the sidelines.

And this person has been staring at them with a rather terrifying expression, like a zoologist or botanist observing some rare animal!

That kind of concentration might mean he wants to slice it further!

Everyone in Darenduo: "..."

slap~

slap~

"Focus, don't overthink it. No matter what kind of opponent you face, you have to play at your own pace. And don't forget they're first years, don't pay too much attention to other aspects of their game! Just remember this, that's all!"

At this time, the captain of the Dairenduo team, Hiroyuki Minamitani, stood up and spoke.

"Yes!"

"Come on! Kill them!"

Not long after, the warm-up was over and the starting players of both teams came on the court.

4号中锋大蔵政昭、5号控卫江场昌利、6号小前锋内海将彦、7号得分后卫时雨秋人、8号大前锋虹村修造。

Teiko's starting lineup did not deviate from Dairindo Middle School's expectations in terms of number sequence, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

Beep~!

The referee blew the whistle.

Both sides jump ball!

Okura Masaaki had excellent jump ball skills and jumping ability, and easily won the jump ball.

then……

The scene that brought the haze back to Darenduo Middle School began from the first ball of the game.

On the field.

Nijimura Shuzo received the pass from point guard Eba Masatoshi.

I don't know how Darenduo Middle School arranged it, but as soon as Nijimura Shuzo received the ball outside the three-point line as part of a pass, two people immediately pressed up and gave him a double-man press on the spot.

Hongcun Xiuzao: "?"

Bang~!

Nijimura reacted extremely quickly. Before the double-team was formed, he had already taken advantage of the gap in the double-team and made a violent breakthrough!

After a muffled sound, Nijimura disappeared from the double attack!

At this moment, the duo from Darenduo Middle School staggered and looked stunned!

just……

What kind of force is that?!

But in fact, Nijimura's strength is indeed strong enough, otherwise the Teiko coaching staff would not let him play power forward with a height of 175 cm. But what is more important is the way he uses his strength.

This brings us back to Nijimura's observation, his ability to instantly process information and respond accordingly, his response style and speed...

All I can say is that he is incredibly experienced.

Next, Nijimura charged forward very quickly, his black hair curling back, revealing his cold expression at the moment. Minamitani Hiroyuki of Dairenduo hurried forward to assist in defense, with his arms open and a tense expression, staring at Nijimura's movements intently.

Crotch!

Hip turn fake!

Front scissors step...

Backhand pull!

With a sudden shake, the point guard, Hiroyuki Minamitani, felt his scalp numb!

The key is……

This guy's position on the court is actually power forward?!

When Minamitani Hiroyuki finally caught up with Nijimura Shuzo, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly saw the opponent stop suddenly and take the ball back. His eyes widened, because his defensive center of gravity had been completely thrown away by this sudden stop!

damn it!

Catch up with him!

Move!

Tsk~!

Hiroyuki Minamitani is worthy of being the captain of Dainindo Junior High School. Although his body was shaking, he pushed his feet hard and blocked Nijimura Shuzo again.

but……

"?!"

what happened?

ball……

Why is it gone?

When did he pass the ball and to whom?!

Just when Hiroyuki Minamitani had no idea how to react and didn't know where the ball was going.

Bang~!

A very heavy sound of footsteps came from behind Nijimura Shuzo!

That was an instantaneous breakthrough technique that Teiko was very familiar with, jokingly called "Monkey Jump" by Shigure Akito himself. In the offense, this move would often be followed by a terrifying slam dunk!

Bang~!

Shi Yu flashed out from behind Nijimura, jumped and landed with an equally heavy thud!

then……

It suddenly ignited and soared!

In the stunned eyes of the audience.

Teiko's No. 7, holding the ball with both hands, jumped into the penalty area. Facing the defense that was completely torn apart by No. 8, he cut in smoothly without any hindrance!
