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

The construction of Nijimura also began.

Moreover, this guy's style of looking for someone to fight alone is not as smooth as Shi Yu Qiuren. I heard that in such a short period of time, the army has been almost turned upside down.

No one knows how many conflicts have occurred surrounding the construction of Nijimura.

Thinking of this, the Second Army Assistant Coach looked at the 'leader', Kuroname Shinji. At that moment, he actually thought he was quite 'cute', and then he took the rare step of trying to comfort him:

"Train well."

"The two First Army members leading the team today also had the same morning training volume. In fact, because we're in the First Army, the intensity is even higher than yours."

"They don't complain like that..."

"you……"

"You won't lose to an army, will you?"

Kuroname Shinji frowned, his entire body being precisely controlled by the assistant coach. "Huh? I'm going to lose to them!? Watch out! In this afternoon's training match, I'm going to get more points than the first team!"

Upon hearing this, the teaching assistant suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Okay~"

“I’m looking forward to it~”

"correct……"

"You don't know yet, right?"

The sudden pause in the assistant teacher's speech made several newcomers look over curiously, and Fukaya Reiji raised his head as if he sensed something.

Fukaya Reiji: “…”

It turned out to be the case.

Are those two the ones leading the army?

Kuroname Shinji: "What?"

The assistant coach said, "The two players representing the Teikou team this afternoon are Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo. Although you haven't practiced together on the court yet..."

"but……"

"Let's get along well."

Kuroname Shinji: “…”

The rest of the newcomers from the Second Army: “…”

After the assistant coach finished speaking, he turned to look at the court, his expression suddenly changed and he said in a stern voice, "The break countdown is over! Now let's start the ball control training on the move!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

As the training began, heavy breathing sounds began to be heard in the field.

Simultaneously.

Around Kuroname Shinji and the others, a burst of whispering came from the seniors of the Second Army.

"Do you know everything?"

"Those two freshmen who joined the First Army directly after joining the club are now able to lead their own teams in foreign battles. They gained recognition from the First Army incredibly quickly..."

"Recognition is one thing, but on the other hand, it's hard to say if it wasn't because those two were too difficult to deal with, so they quickly let them go to free up their energy. I heard that several people in the First Army almost came to blows with that Nijimura Shuzo on several occasions."

"what?"

"What's going on? Can you elaborate?"

"Come to think of it, it wasn't because of the seemingly bad Nijimura that it all started, but rather because of Shigure Akito..."

As the gossip of the second army members spread, the expressions of Kuroname Shinji, Fukaya Reiji and others who were listening quietly changed again and again. Compared to the others who looked terrified...

Shinji Kurona was excited and eager to try.

As for Fukaya Reiji, it is...

Ok……

His face was full of...like envy.

Chapter 020: Is this the reserve talent that suddenly emerged in the second and third years of Teiko?

in the afternoon.

Teiko Sanban Arena.

Teiko's foreign opponent today is visiting Teiko, Shirogane Junior High School, also from Tokyo Ward.

The competition venue was arranged in the training hall of the three armed forces.

Although Shirogane Junior High School has not been able to successfully advance to the national level in recent years, it has always been a top-ranked team in the Tokyo zone preliminaries.

"The ones leading the team today are Nijimura and Shigure..."

"Although they're all newcomers, they're all super talents who deserve to wear the glorious jersey as soon as they join the team. The gap is huge. But thanks to them, we can pause today's training for a while..."

"I didn't expect the training of the Teiko Armies to be so difficult."

"anyway……"

"Nijimura Shuzo is so terrifying! Once, when I passed by the First Army, I saw him fighting a senior from the First Army alone. Wow, that scene was terrifying!"

"Nijimura Shuzo, that bad guy..."

The discussions among the players from the three armies came to an abrupt end when two young men wearing Teiko's official uniforms appeared. Following behind them were several other players with equally young faces.

The first-year recruits of the three armed forces recognized him at a glance.

They are all freshmen in the same class as them.

The only difference is.

The only ones who owned Teiko's official team uniform jackets were the team leader Ichijun, Shigure Akito, and Nijimura Shuzo.

Inside the coat...

You can clearly see Shigure Akito No. 12 and Nijimura Shuzo No. 13.

The newcomers who had experience in formal basketball club activities in the past immediately realized what this meant. Generally speaking, numbers 4 to 8 are the numbers of the starting players.

The subsequent No. 9→13 are top-ranked substitute players.

In other words.

In just two weeks from the entrance test to now, Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo have not only secured their place in the first team, but have even directly secured a spot in the regular selection!

In this case.

If they can keep it up, they might be able to directly participate in the 'All-China Contest' as freshmen, and judging from this number, they are guaranteed to appear!

Sit down on the benches beside the stadium.

Shigure Akito wearing a formal jersey jacket.

At this moment, he felt the pleasure of going out like a high-spirited boss, especially the envious gaze from Kuroname Shinji. He stared at the jersey number on his chest and had been stealing glances at it from time to time since they met.

"That's scary, Nijimura-san~"

"Smile~"

Shigure Akito suddenly turned around and teased Nijimura Shuzo beside him.

After two weeks of "being in the same boat" in the "First Army Senior Challenge", Shi Yu Qiuren not only received a lot of system rewards, but also gained another benefit, which was that he became more familiar with Nijimura Shuzo.

all in all……

Although this guy is far from being cold-hearted at this stage.

But it’s not as scary as imagined.

However, if the seniors in the first army knew how he felt, they would definitely give him a thumbs-up and a hard 6 to let him know what he was talking about.

"Shut up……"

"It's clearly an army, but you have to give these guys substitutes. I don't know what you are so happy about?"

Shi Yu Qiuren heard this and a smile appeared on his face, because he felt that being a substitute in this situation was great. "Training with the second army as the main force~"

"And as substitutes, we are obviously a backup~"

"In this case……"

"Isn't it handsome?"

"We're only first graders~"

……

Not long after, the coach and players from Chenggu Middle School entered the field.

And obviously.

Judging from the jersey number.

Facing Teiko, Shirogane Junior High School fielded all its main players.

The coach of Shirogane Junior High School, after shaking hands with the second-team coach Ino, immediately looked towards the bench on the sidelines of Teiko.

After seeing a group of players wearing only the second army's blue training vests, he frowned slightly.

After seeing two players in official team uniforms, his expression relaxed for a moment.

then……

After seeing the two completely unfamiliar boys wearing sizes 12 and 13, his brows furrowed again.

The smooth expression change made the second team coach Ino laugh secretly in his heart.

The coach of Shirogane Junior High School didn't say much. After all, it wasn't his first time to come to Teiko for exchanges, and he knew the other side's style very well.

When facing their city and valley, the lineup sent out is always two first-class armies, leading a group of second-class and third-class armies.

However, the military candidate leading the team this time is a bit too unfamiliar and immature.

perhaps……

Is this a reserve talent that suddenly emerged in the second and third years of Teiko?

Tsk~!

A basketball club with hundreds of people!

The emperor's glory and other things of the rich and powerful are really enviable!

soon.

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

On the side of Shirogane Middle School, the coach of Shirogane Middle School frowned again as he looked at the men in blue vests surrounding the coach of Teiko Second Army.

The team manager, who was in charge of collecting information, also said, "Except for a few familiar faces, I haven't seen anyone else..."

At this time.

Among the substitutes.

Someone raised his hand and said awkwardly:

"that……"

"I heard a little news from Teiko's friends..."

Coach: “What’s the news?”

"Those two official team members..."

"And those unfamiliar faces in blue vests are all first years."

"in……"

"Shigure Akito."
