Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

Sakuragi patted his chest.

Looking down at Morishige Hiroshi.

"Your meat is too loose. Compared to those big black bears, it's as soft as a marshmallow."

There was no provocation in his tone, only the indifference of stating the facts.

"you……"

Morishige Hiroshi stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way."

Sakuragi, with his hands in his pockets, brushed past Morishige Hiroshi.

"Hey, you dead fox."

"Was my stance stable just now?"

Sakuragi lowered his voice and nudged Rukawa with his elbow.

"You've improved since you weren't knocked flying."

Rukawa Kaede snorted coldly, "If it were me, I'd already be lying on the ground."

"Damn it! You bastard, you're showing off again!"

Hearing the everyday bickering coming from behind him, Coach Mingpeng broke out in a cold sweat.

Ah Kuan was actually... knocked back head-on?

……

Five minutes later, at the finals venue.

The stadium, which can hold tens of thousands of people, was packed with noise, the sound almost lifting the roof off.

"Next up is the Kanagawa Prefecture representative team—Shohoku High School!"

Accompanied by the DJ's roar, the five members of Shohoku High School slowly walked out of the passage.

"boom!"

In the stands, a particular area instantly erupted into chaos!

"Are you kidding me...?"

Kiyota Nobunaga of Hainan opened his mouth wide, his finger trembling as he pointed downwards.

Mu Shenyi stood up straight, staring intently at the red figures, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Amu, can you feel it?" Coach Takato gasped.

"Um."

Maki Shinichi's voice was dry.

"In just one week... what exactly did they go through?"

"This isn't the kind of aura a high school student should have!"

"They're more like a group of professional gamers..."

In the stands not far away.

Sendoh Akira of Ryonan put away his usual lazy smile, his eyes sharp as knives.

"The muscle definition is stronger than before, but it is so firm that there is not an ounce of excess fat."

Sendoh murmured softly, "What's most terrifying is their eyes..."

"Like a pack of hungry wolves that have just seen blood."

Moroboshi Dai of Aiwa Academy swallowed hard.

I subconsciously rubbed my arms and suddenly got goosebumps.

"This level of physical transformation is like going to the NBA for a makeover and then coming back to dominate!"

A higher position.

Coach Goro Domoto of Sannoh Industrial held a stack of documents, his brow furrowed.

"impossible……"

"How could such a qualitative change occur in just a few days?"

His gaze swept back and forth between Akagi, Sakuragi, and Rukawa.

"Could it be some kind of extreme stress training?"

"Or...did they go and see some incredible monster?"

On the other side of the audience seats.

Haruko Akagi covered her mouth tightly, her eyes red-rimmed.

Looking at those five towering figures on the field, like war gods, I could no longer hold back my tears.

"Brother... Sakuragi... Everyone..."

Haruko's voice choked with emotion, yet it was filled with pride.

"You guys are truly the strongest team in the country now!"

……

In the center of the stadium.

The referee, holding the basketball, walked to the center circle.

"Beep—"

The whistle blew!

The national finals have officially begun!

Takenori Akagi took a deep breath and walked to the jump ball spot.

Before him stood a super monster, 199 cm tall and weighing 100 kg, Morishige Hiroshi.

"Hey, old man, you look pretty good in physique, hehe." Morishige Hiroshi rubbed his wrist, his eyes wild and provocative.

Akagi ignored him.

A heart as firm as a rock.

Images from Chicago a few days ago unconsciously flashed through my mind.

How Beal crushed the paint with devastating power, and how he taught him the ultimate secrets of center.

"Judging the center of gravity with the buttocks, protecting the ball and territory with the elbows, dominating the paint..."

Akagi muttered to himself.

"Are you muttering some last words?" Morishige Hiroshi grinned.

"I was thinking—"

Akagi raised his head, his eyes radiating a suffocating aura of dominance.

"Compared to a spineless coward like you, those guys are the real monsters!"

"Throw the ball!"

The referee shouted and tossed the basketball high into the air.

The two jumped almost simultaneously!

With terrifying explosive power, Morishige Hiroshi shot into the air like a rocket, his massive body creating a gust of wind.

"We got it!"

The Meihou players shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

however.

Just as Morishige Hiroshi's fingers were about to touch the basketball!

"roar--!"

A roar like the fury of a Vajra echoed throughout the entire stadium!

Akagi Takenori's timing for the jump was so perfect it was outrageous!

Not only did it not fall behind in speed, but it also displayed a highly aggressive attitude in the air!

"Bang!"

Akagi slightly lowered his shoulders in mid-air, his right elbow concealed and legally raised, forming an indestructible absolute barrier.

Morishige Hiroshi's brute force struck Akagi's elbow barrier as if it had hit a load-bearing wall!

"What?!"

Morishige Hiroshi's center of gravity was immediately disrupted in mid-air, and his body tilted uncontrollably to one side.

In that brief moment of imbalance.

Akagi Takenori's huge hand, with veins bulging, slammed down on the basketball over Morishige Hiroshi's head!

"Snapped!"

The basketball transformed into an orange lightning bolt, precisely passing towards Shohoku's backcourt!

Landing.

Dead silence.

For a full three seconds, the huge stadium was completely silent.

Followed by.

"boom--!!!"

The entire audience erupted in screams that seemed to lift the roof off!

Holy crap!!!

"The gorilla actually overpowered that monster in a direct confrontation!!"

"In a head-to-head contest of strength and jumping ability, Morishige Hiroshi actually lost?!"

Maki Shinichi, standing in the stands, clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with horror:

"Akagi's power... has become even stronger!"

on the field.

"Well done, boss!"

Ryota Miyagi moved like a red lightning bolt, instantly catching the basketball.

"Quick attack!"

With a roar, Gongcheng's body became a blur as he charged straight towards Meihou's half of the arena!

In the blink of an eye!

Shohoku's fast break speed was on full display at this moment.

Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi stood on the left and right respectively.

Like two sharp knives, they simultaneously plunged into the enemy's heart.

"Back up!!"

Coach Mingpeng roared hoarsely on the sidelines.

A chilling scene unfolded.

Morishige Hiroshi, who had just lost the jump ball in the center circle, didn't pause at all after landing.

Its enormous body unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size.

Like a charging bear, they retreated madly towards their own half!

Meihou's entire team's retreat speed was in no way inferior to Shohoku's fast break!

"Such a quick retreat..." Miyagi Ryota's pupils contracted.

Just now.

Lin Bei, who had been sitting on the sidelines, watched the fierce high-speed offensive and defensive battle ahead.

A faint glint slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Strength, speed, and unbridled savagery..."

Lin Bei chuckled softly, his voice standing out clearly amidst the clamor of the stadium.

"Even dust can hold sparks, and the ordinary can give rise to legends."

"The show is about to begin."

The scoreboard, 0:0, flashed under the lights.

The ultimate massacre between Shohoku and Meihou has officially begun.

The first goal is about to go in!
