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

Coach Anzai remains as steady as ever.

The lenses reflected the light, and he chuckled softly without saying a word.

"Damn it!"

Sakuragi was so anxious he was scratching his head.

He turned his head and saw the figure covered with a towel still motionless at the other end of the bench.

"Hey! Master!"

"What time is it and you're still sleeping!"

"We're going to lose!"

Sakuragi rushed over, trying to shake Lin Bei awake.

But before she could even touch Lin Bei's shoulder, Cai Zi and several substitute players held her down firmly.

"Sakuragi! Stop fooling around!"

"Lin Bei is a substitute, let him rest!"

"Let me go! I need to ask my master if he has any ultimate killing technique!"

Sakuragi struggled in the crowd, like a live fish pinned to a chopping board.

Just then, a soft snoring sound came from under the towel.

"Huff... huff..."

It has a very rhythmic feel.

Everyone paused for a second.

"That mental fortitude..." Ayako's lips twitched.

In the stands.

Yohei watched this scene and shook his head helplessly.

"Sakuragi is about to explode."

"yes."

"Although he's usually a bit of a goofball, he hates losing the most." Takamiya Nozomi stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"but……"

Yohei's gaze fell on the sleeping figure. "Is that Lin Bei really planning to sleep through the whole game?"

Just then, the stadium doors were pushed open again.

A tall, slender figure walked in against the light.

With spiky hair, a lazy smile, and a gym bag in his hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Immortal Dao.

Ryonan's ace has finally made his appearance.

"Sendoh! Where have you been again?!" Taoka Shigeichi's roar echoed throughout the arena.

"Um... my alarm clock is broken."

Sendoh made up an excuse without any sincerity, glancing at the scoreboard while changing his shoes.

"Oh? 14 to 0."

"Looks like everyone did a good job."

He took off his jacket, revealing Ryonan's number 7 jersey, and walked straight to the scorer's table.

"Substitute!"

Sendoh came on, replacing Koya.

With Sendoh's appearance, the atmosphere in the entire arena seemed to change.

That subtle sense of pressure instantly sharpened Rukawa Kaede's gaze.

"They're here."

Rukawa Kaede stared intently at Sendoh.

The game continues.

Shohoku serves.

The ball ended up in Rukawa's hands.

Facing Sendoh, he lowered his center of gravity and dribbled between his legs twice in a row, trying to find a breakthrough.

Sendoh simply stretched out his arms lazily, even with a smile on his face.

"Don't be so nervous."

Rukawa ignored him and suddenly accelerated to the right.

So fast!

Just as Rukawa thought he had escaped, a hand reached out like a ghost.

"Snapped!"

The ball was intercepted.

There are no fancy moves, just pure speed and accuracy.

"What?!" Rukawa Kaede's pupils shrank suddenly.

After intercepting the ball, Sendoh did not sprint at full speed, but instead dribbled forward at a leisurely pace.

Rukawa chased after him desperately, blocking Sendoh's path.

"Don't even think about going there!"

Sendoh looked at Rukawa Kaede and suddenly flicked his wrist.

My gaze was fixed on the left, but the ball was passed to the right.

No look, pass!

The basketball seemed to have eyes, passing between Rukawa's legs and flying precisely into the hands of Uozumi, who was unguarded under the basket.

"boom!"

Uozumi slammed the ball down with both hands.

16: 0.

"Wow! Sendoh-senpai is so handsome!"

"This is Ryonan's ace!"

Hikoichi Aida was so excited on the sidelines that he was gesturing wildly, and his pen almost flew out of his hand.

Rukawa Kaede stood still, his chest heaving violently.

That last shot...

We've been completely fooled.

gap.

A huge gap.

"Hahaha! Did you see that?!"

"This is the strength of Ryonan!" Taoka Shigeichi excitedly waved his folding fan.

"With Sendoh and Uozumi together, we're invincible!"

"We're going to beat you by 30 points! No, 50 points!"

Taoka became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood on the sideline with his butt sticking out high, pointing at the field and shouting.

Just then.

A red figure appeared silently behind Taoka Shigeichi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi squatted down, clasped his hands together, and joined his index and middle fingers.

A wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Old man, you're too noisy."

"Take this!!!"

"puff!"

The finger accurately hits the bullseye.

"Awooo—!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream pierced the air above the stadium.

Taoka Shigeichi was launched into the air like a rocket, clutching his buttocks and twitching in mid-air.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone gaped, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Even Sendoh, who was on the defensive, was stunned and almost slipped and fell.

"Um... is this your new tactic?" Sendoh looked at Rukawa, completely bewildered.

Rukawa Kaede turned his head away: "I don't know him."

"You bastard! What are you doing?!"

Akagi Takenori roared and charged over, slamming his fist into Sakuragi.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing, gorilla?!"

"I was just annoyed by his yelling and shouting!" Sakuragi said, covering his head and looking aggrieved.

At this point, the scoreboard read 19:0.

Ryonan scores another goal.

Xiangbei has yet to harvest a single crop.

A sense of despair spread through the hearts of the Shohoku team members.

Kogure wiped the fog off his glasses, his hands trembling.

Yasuda and Shiozaki no longer dared to touch the ball.

Even Akagi's eyes dimmed slightly when he saw the huge score difference.

At this suffocating moment.

In the corner of the bench, the white towel suddenly moved.

A hand reached out and ripped the towel off.

Lin Bei sat up straight.

He twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

Then he reached up and rubbed his lower back, his brows furrowed, looking displeased.

"Tsk."

"This old chair is too hard."

"I slept so much my back is about to break."

Lin Bei's voice wasn't loud, but it could be clearly heard in the quiet bench.

All eyes were on him.

At this moment, with the team on the verge of collapse at 0-19.

The first thing this guy said when he woke up was that he complained the chair was too hard?

Lin Bei stood up, yawned widely, and squeezed out two physiological tears from the corners of his eyes.

He glanced at the scoreboard.

"Wow, 0 to 19."

"Looks like everyone had a lot of fun."

As Lin Bei spoke, he slowly took off his hoodie, revealing a number 16 jersey underneath.

He walked up to Coach Anzai and scratched his messy hair.

"coach."

"I'll go on."

Coach Anzai looked up, his eyes narrowing into slits behind his glasses.

"Oh? Lin Bei, are you awake?"

"It's not that I've woken up."

Lin Bei pointed to the row of hard benches, looking disgusted.

"I really can't sleep."

"If I keep sleeping, I'm afraid I'll get a herniated disc."

"Finish the game as soon as possible, then go home."

"This is the way to maintain good health."

Upon hearing this reason, Ayako, who was standing next to her, almost broke the record board in her hand.

What kind of ridiculous reason is that?!

The team is about to lose, and you're just trying to go home and sleep early?!

But Coach Anzai smiled.

"Ho ho ho..."

"Since you're not sleeping well, why don't you go and move around a bit?"

"Change players."

"Lin Bei replaces... Yasuda."

The whistle blew.

Shohoku makes a substitution.

Lin Bei strolled leisurely to the sidelines and gave a high five to the dejected Yasuda.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yasuda-senpai."

"Leave the rest to me."

Yasuda paused for a moment, looking at Lin Bei's still listless, dead fish eyes.

For some reason, a strange sense of peace suddenly welled up inside me.

Lin Bei stepped onto the court.

He stood in the center circle, his gaze sweeping over the menacing Ryonan team opposite him.

Finally, it settled on the immortal.

Sendoh was also looking at him, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Oh? That's the Lin Bei that Yan Yi mentioned?"

Sendoh smiled. "You look... really sleepy."

Lin Bei sighed.

A system notification sounded in my mind.

[Mission Triggered: Win the Match]

[Reward: All attributes +1]

Upon hearing the words "all attributes +1", Lin Bei's previously cloudy eyes instantly brightened.

Although it was only for a moment.

But that sharp, knife-like aura made the smile on the other side of the immortal Dao freeze.

"Everyone."

Lin Bei turned around and looked at Akagi and Rukawa, who were covered in sweat.

"Don't make that face."

"I'm in a hurry."

"Let's finish this battle quickly, I'm in a hurry to get back to see JoJo."

Akagi Takenori looked at the lazy figure from behind, his lips twitched slightly, but the gloom in his eyes dissipated most of its gloom.

"Stop talking big, you bastard."

"If you lose, you're going to clean the entire floor when you get back!"

Lin Bei shrugged.

"That won't do."

"Mopping the floor is too tiring."

He turned around, facing Ryonan's basketball hoop, and extended his right hand, gently hooking it with his index finger.

Give me the ball.

"I'm going to start... taking control of the game."
