Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Then he took out a large box of things from the passenger seat.

"These are our team uniforms. They were made very late yesterday, so we didn't have time to give them to you. We can only give them to you now."

Upon seeing the large box next to Coach Shinkawa's feet, Ueno and the others' eyes lit up, their gazes fixed on the box with intense interest.

"Team uniform?"

"awesome!"

Especially Gong Liangyi and the others, their breathing became rapid.

Kamijou Ichi immediately stood up, looking excitedly at the large box containing the jerseys.

Although Miyagi and his teammates also had uniforms, they were all bought by themselves and were not the uniforms of the University of Tokyo basketball team.

And now, Coach Xinhe is actually going to give them Dongda basketball uniforms, how could they not be excited?

Especially Kuratani Sora, whose face was flushed and who looked at Coach Shinha with great excitement.

Even Ueno, who has the mindset of an adult, couldn't help but get excited.

What do basketball team uniforms represent?

Putting on the jersey marks the true start of the team initiation ceremony.

This means bearing the honor and disgrace of the team, and the trust of your teammates.

To borrow a line from The Little Prince.

What is a ritual? It is what makes one day different from other days, one moment from other moments.

Wearing the same robes, let's reach the pinnacle of basketball together!

We must understand that glory is shared!

Looking at the excited crowd, Coach Xinhe took out a black jersey with a red background and the words "Dongda" on it from the box next to his feet, and his eyes first fell on Gong Liangyi.

"Miya Ryoichi, shooting guard, jersey number eight."

"Thank you coach."

Upon hearing Coach Xinhe's words, Gong Liang felt a lump in his throat and his eyes redden. He quickly stepped forward, took the jersey from Coach Xinhe, and bowed deeply to him.

"Kimura-ri".

"Hi."

Seeing that Kimura was equally excited, Coach Shinha handed him a basketball jersey with the number nine on it.

"Kimura, center forward, number nine jersey."

"Thank you, Coach!"

Looking at the jersey in his hand, Kimura's eyes reddened as he bowed deeply to Coach Shinha.

Watching the induction ceremony being held inside the car, the driver felt inexplicably excited and subconsciously slowed down.

"Murasame, power forward, number 11 jersey."

"Hi! Thank you, coach."

"Shangjing No. 1, shooting guard, jersey number six."

"Hi! Thanks, Coach."

Looking at the jersey in his hand, Shang Jingyi choked up and bowed to Coach Xinhe.

"Gison Shin, small forward, jersey number five."

"Hi, thank you, coach."

Upon receiving the jersey, even the usually expressionless Shin had tears welling up in his eyes.

"Juri Ueno, jersey number seven, shooting guard."

"Hi, thank you, coach!"

Looking at the familiar number seven jersey, Ueno glanced gratefully at Coach Shinkawa and then bowed deeply to him.

Number seven was the first jersey number he wore when he came into this world.

It's also his favorite number.

"Sora Kurumatani, point guard, jersey number one."

"Hi, thank you, thank you, coach."

Fighting back tears, Kurumi Sora looked down at the black basketball jersey in his hand, clutched the jersey handed to him by the coach, bowed deeply to Coach Shinha, and let a few tears slide onto the jersey.

For three years in junior high school, he was the only one on the basketball team, practicing alone every day.

Now, he is no longer alone.

He also found his own basketball team and teammates to fight alongside him.

"Yagami Osaka, center forward, number 10 jersey."

"Thank you coach."

Because of his height, Osaka had to bend over, but when he received the jersey, he still bowed deeply to Coach Shinha.

Looking at the excited crowd, Coach Xinhe also felt very excited and passionate, but he still looked at everyone seriously and said in a deep voice.

There are no dead ends in the world; every moment is a challenge. Only by being tempered by adversity can one be bathed in starlight.

"Fight to the very last moment! Persevere to the last second! We fight! We strive!"

"No one can defeat us; the only one who can defeat us is ourselves!"

"We will be champions!"

Chapter 21 We are very strong

The bus slowly drove into Toou High School.

As soon as they entered the gates of Touou High School, Ueno saw Momoi and a smiling guy wearing glasses waiting for them through the car window.

Looking at the smiling guy, Ueno felt he recognized him, but couldn't remember his name for a moment.

If I remember correctly, the other party should be the captain of Touou, a very cunning guy.

The bus slowly came to a stop in the parking space next to it.

Seeing Coach Shinkawa getting off the bus, Imaji Shoichi, who was responsible for leading the way, couldn't help but greet Momoi with a smile.

"Hello Coach Shinkawa, I am Imayoshi Shoichi, the captain of the Touou basketball team. I'm here to take you to our basketball court. This is our basketball team manager, Momoi Satsuki."

Momoi bowed to Coach Shinkawa and said with a smile, "Hello, Coach Shinkawa."

"Hello."

"Coach Xinhe, come with me, this way."

After glancing at Kamijou and his group, who were curiously looking around as soon as they got off the car, Shoichi took the lead and walked towards the basketball court of Touou.

"Okay, that's troublesome."

Looking at the team behind him, Coach Xinhe said, "Keep up."

After saying that, he took the lead and followed.

Meanwhile, Momoi, who was walking behind, kept silently observing everyone. When she saw Ueno, she looked at him carefully for a moment.

When Momoi saw Yagami Osaka's height, she was secretly shocked again.

"so high!"

Momoi didn't know much about the University of Tokyo, but as the intern manager of the Touou basketball team, she would subconsciously investigate and record information about other university basketball teams.

However, there are no competition records for the University of Tokyo.

If Ueno Juri hadn't gone to the University of Tokyo, she wouldn't have known there was such a thing as a basketball team there.

He secretly sized up the Dongda people, but there was no outstanding face among them.

Apart from Ueno Juri, who she was somewhat wary of.

Toou High School basketball court.

Seeing that Aomine Daiki had arrived early and was practicing shooting on the side, Wakamatsu Kosuke, who was warming up, couldn't help but gently bump Sakurai Ryo with his shoulder.

"Ah Liang, today's Tokyo University event is going to be interesting. That guy, Ueno Juri, seems pretty strong."

Looking at Kosuke, A-liang also nodded thoughtfully at Aomine, who was stretching. "Yeah, this is the first time I've seen Aomine arrive so early."

Ever since Aomine Daiki defeated them, he either doesn't come to training at all, or he comes over for a quick look around when training is almost over and then leaves.

During this period, they also played two friendly matches, but the opponents usually arrived late, halfway through the game.

This is the first time I've been here this early.

Just as the two were talking, a figure suddenly appeared behind them, and a calm voice came from that person.

"Isn't this great?"
