Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Seeing Ueno defending him, Haizaki didn't want to play any games of probing. His gaze changed, and he unleashed a full-force burst of energy, charging towards Ueno's side.

Just as Haizaki was about to break through Ueno's defenses, Ueno suddenly appeared in front of Haizaki like a ghost, blocking his way.

Upon seeing Ueno suddenly appear, Haizaki also came to an abrupt stop, quickly pulling the basketball back with his right hand to prevent Ueno from stealing the ball.

Haizaki's face darkened as he looked at Ueno, who was blocking his way; the other man was moving too fast.

However, his strength is not speed.

Haizaki glanced briefly at the basketball hoop in the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. After assessing the distance between the two, he squatted down, raised the basketball with both hands, aimed at the hoop, and prepared to shoot.

Seeing Haizaki's movements, even though Ueno knew it was a feint, he still had to intervene to stop him.

Because it's about facing off against an opponent like Haizaki.

He cannot give the opponent any chance to shoot.

Without interference, the opponent's basketball shooting percentage would definitely be over 90%.

Ueno stepped forward and swung his arm to slap the basketball in Haizaki's hand, while using his other hand to try to block the other's view.

Seeing Ueno move, Haizaki, who was preparing to shoot, suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth. He had been crouching down, but suddenly lowered his body and dribbled the basketball towards Ueno's side with explosive speed.

In a flash, Haizaki broke through from the Ueno side and headed straight for the basketball hoop.

Seeing Haizaki's sudden outburst, Ueno was momentarily stunned.

Is it possible to unleash full power in this posture?

Without much thought, Ueno turned around and unleashed his full power to chase after Haizaki.

Feeling the growing pressure from behind, Haizaki looked at the basketball hoop right in front of him, a fierce glint in his eyes. He stomped his right foot hard, leaped into the air, and slammed the ball towards the hoop with one hand.

Seeing the opponent's move, Ueno also stepped onto the floor and slammed his right hand hard against the opponent's basketball.

Just as Ueno's right hand was about to slap Haizaki's basketball, to Ueno's somewhat shocked gaze, Haizaki actually pulled the basketball back into his arms, causing him to miss.

This guy was actually using a feint?

Ueno looked somewhat shocked.

Just as the two were falling at the same time, Haizaki made another move, his face full of arrogance. He raised the basketball with his right hand and, with a hook shot, threw the basketball towards the hoop.

As the basketball slipped from Haizaki's fingers, a black lightning flashed in Ueno's eyes, and he moved violently, forcefully twisting his body.

Ueno jumped after his opponent, but landed first, slamming his right foot into the floor and leaping up again.

"Oh!"

Under Haizaki's incredulous gaze, he slammed the basketball away.

Upon landing, he staggered a bit, then steadied himself and stared at Ueno with disbelief on his face.

Is this guy a monster?

not far away.

Compared to Haizaki's shock, Coach Shinkawa's eyes were full of surprise.

Haizaki's skill level is definitely not low. If they can bring him into the basketball team, their basketball team's strength will definitely rise to a higher level.

However, this guy doesn't seem to be from my school.

With a slightly serious expression, Coach Xinhe began to ponder.

When they saw Ueno block Haizaki's basketball, Kurumaya Sora and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his gaze toward Haizaki became somewhat solemn and admiring.

Putting everything else aside, they were definitely fooled by those two feints the other side just now.

Even if they knew, there was nothing they could do.

What truly shocked them was that their opponent could launch a second attack in mid-air.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Compared to the monster Ueno, they had become numb.

On the basketball court.

Looking at the basketball he had swatted away, Ueno smiled at Haizaki, who was still staring at him in disbelief, and said, "You lost. Remember to keep your promise."

Unlike the three balls in my previous life.

It wasn't that they scored three goals first.

These three balls include the opponent's attack while defending.

There are only three balls in total.

His face darkened, and his gaze turned somewhat grim. Haizaki looked at Ueno without saying a word.

He really disliked this feeling.

With his hands slowly back in his pockets, Haizaki turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the clothes he had thrown on the ground.

Looking at Haizaki's expressionless face, just as the other walked to his side, Ueno suddenly grabbed him and looked at him with serious eyes.

"Come join my basketball team!"

Upon hearing this, Haizaki frowned slightly and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Kurumiya Sora and the others stared blankly at the two on the basketball court.

Ueno actually wants to recruit this guy into the basketball team?

"Are you kidding me?"

"I was serious."

Seeing Haizaki's furrowed brows, Ueno pointed to the basketball lying on the side and said, "And you lost."

"I didn't promise you anything."

Haizaki glanced at the basketball lying to the side, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. He slapped Ueno's hand away and gave Ueno a cold laugh.

He then picked up the clothes from the ground, casually draped them over his shoulders, put his hands in his pockets, and walked outside.

Watching Haizaki's departing figure, Ueno's gaze darkened slightly.

Haizaki, that guy.

Chapter 42 Confused

Just as Haizaki was about to walk out of the University of Tokyo basketball court, he suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly to look at Ueno, and gave a cold smile.

"You're just like him. I hope you don't become someone else's shadow."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Haizaki was all too familiar with Ueno's playing style.

Inexplicably, he developed a slight liking for Ueno, after all, he had also been described as a substitute, someone else's shadow.

Thinking of this, a hint of savagery flashed in Haizaki's eyes. A moment later, he glanced at the University of Tokyo basketball court behind him, his eyes filled with interest and a hint of anticipation.

"Tokyo University? Ueno, you're quite an interesting guy."

As for why he was looking forward to it, he didn't know.

After Haizaki left, the entire basketball court fell silent again.

Ueno's gaze turned somewhat gloomy.

The basketball court at Dongda University.

Looking at the regrouped group, Coach Xinhe continued to arrange the tactics for tomorrow. After finishing the final tactics, his gaze fell on Ueno, who seemed to be daydreaming.

"Ueno, come with me for a moment. Take the rest of you back to rest! Don't be late tomorrow."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the outside of the basketball court.

Ueno was also taken aback, and after exchanging puzzled glances with the others, he chased after Coach Shinkawa.

Watching Ueno and Coach Shinkawa leave, Kamiya stroked his chin and said, "Have you guys noticed? Ueno seems to be acting a bit strange lately!"

Upon hearing this, no one spoke; they simply watched silently in the direction Ueno and the others had left.

Kurumaya Sora said softly with some concern, "Ueno."

Outdoor basketball court.

Seeing Coach Shinkawa waiting for him, Ueno quickly walked over.

"coach."

Looking at Ueno, Coach Shinha's eyes held both approval and a hint of concern.

"Ueno, what's wrong with you lately?"

Upon hearing this, Ueno shook his head with a wry smile, looking at his concerned coach. He didn't know what was wrong with him either.

"Coach, I'm fine."

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Coach Xinhe looked at Ueno and said after a moment of silence, "There are some things I can't help you with, but you must remember that you are not alone. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
