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

Since entering this year's All-China Tournament, they have been winning more easily than last year. They have never been beaten so easily by anyone based on pure skills.

Halftime…

46 points difference.

This is usually the point difference where they crush their opponents by relying on the huge power difference.

But now, he was easily hit on the head by his opponent.

Even more unacceptable...

Thanks to Shigure Akito's on-site teaching, even the tall center of Teiko gradually became more comfortable when facing the muscular confrontation of Ibu.

..... ... 0

Off the court.

Coach Ibu rubbed his temples with a headache.

It was the first time for Ibu to face off against Shigure Akito. He had expected to suppress his opponent by relying on his muscle strength advantage, but this did not happen at all.

instead.

Under the opponent's super-standard technology, he was suppressed and had no power to fight back. Even Shi Yuqiu showed strength on the defensive end that far exceeded that of Ibu and Yongji.

but……

The other party doesn't need to rely on that power at all.

Just using more energy-saving techniques and avoiding power confrontations is enough to suppress Ibu.

Coach Ibu: “…”

Own……

Is it wrong?

After all, I should stop the players from being so willful over the past year...

Just thinking about it.

Along the sidelines, Shigure Akito, who was retreating in small steps, could be heard saying, "Muscles aren't just a simple thing~"

Pa~!

Shigure Akito patted the muscles on his arms.

Yongji did it without any sense of disobedience, but with Shigure Akito's slender body, the pose looked a little funny. He continued to speak:

"So-called muscles..."

"Basketball muscles..."

"Of course, it's about carrying the memory of basketball, transforming all my past experiences, feelings, and skills into my muscles..."

"That's the real 'muscle'!"

"This is what 'muscle' should be like, you bunch of Ibu's 'muscle' rookies~"

Chapter 156: With her hair tossed up, Murasakibara performs a set of 'dream dance steps' in the penalty area. The scene is so beautiful~!

The whistle for the end of the first half sounded. According to Teiko's rotation, this meant that Netake Tani Eikichi lost the opportunity to continue competing with Shigure Akito.

Because the next one to come on stage.

It will be Teiko's first-year lineup.

but……

Just when Genmuya Nagakichi was feeling unhappy about this, he was pleasantly surprised to find at the start of the second half that Shigure Akito did not leave the field, but continued to play in the second half with Teiko's four first-year players.

only……

Before he could be happy for long, he was shocked to find that Shigure Akito, who had been competing with him as a center in the first half, was playing as a point guard in the second half!

"Eh?"

"A point guard?"

"..."

"With Shigure Akito's comprehensive skills and physical abilities, no matter what position he plays, he'll be one of the best players in the country. There's nothing surprising about '830'."

……

The ball belonged to Ibu at the start of the second half.

Facing Shigure Akito's defense, Ibu's point guard did not dare to be careless at all. After the first half of the game, he had a clearer and more specific understanding of what kind of monster this guy in front of him was.

So he immediately winked at his teammates.

next second.

Point guard Ibu passed the ball to captain Imaru.

It was obvious that this opening attack was well planned by Ibu Junior High School after the half-time break, because the moment Imaru received the ball, he almost didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw the ball towards the basket.

A surprise alley-oop at the start!

Under the basket.

Opposing Netakeya Eikichi is Murasakibara Atsushi.

Genwu Gu Yongji: "..."

Well done!

Although the force of this ball will be quite strong.

But with my muscles, I can definitely catch this kind of ball easily!

Since Shigure Akito is not doing his job and is playing point guard, then from now on, no one in Teiko will be able to stop him in the interior!

Just as Genmuya Nagaki was about to start the second half and give Teiko a look of strength.

suddenly……

Nebutani Nagakichi: "!?"

The force of the first-grade kid behind him resisting him made him stunned for a moment.

With the sound of breaking wind as it leaped up.

The figure behind him actually resisted the resistance of his muscles and jumped up in time.

then……

When the purple-haired kid opened his arms in the air to defend, Gentake Nagayoshi realized how outrageous the static physical condition of this first-year center of Teiko was!

As a freshman, he is taller than him, and has proportionally longer arms and greater jumping ability than Kurona Shinji who is also 190 cm tall!

When fully extended, the height is quite terrifying!

and……

Although he is slightly inferior to me in strength, he is not an ordinary strength type!

Pa~!

With a crisp sound.

Murasakibara Atsushi grabbed the ball first at the high point, disrupting the opponent's alley-oop and even using both hands to "take" the ball down.

"what?!"

“He actually held his own against Netakeya Eikichi head-on…?”

"And that height... No, how long are his arms?"

"Compared to his height, his movements are quite fast..."

"Is it really first grade?"

"what?"

"First grade?"

"Don't you know? The ones with colorful hair in Teiko are all first years."

Genwu Gu Yongji: "..."

Glancing at the first-year kid behind him who had a strange expression and was even more furious than himself, the excitement on Genwutani Yongji's face at meeting a 'fellow traveler' disappeared in a moment of surprise.

Then he heard the other party speak, and said coldly words that made him equally furious.

"It's all your fault~"

"Muscle gorilla~"

"You made me get lectured by my senior again, I'm going to crush you to pieces next~!"

Before Netakeya Eikichi could reply, another kid, dressed in black like him, interrupted him, "Murasara... Now, according to the tactics, it's my turn to attack..."

however……

Qingfeng hadn't finished speaking yet.

The tall Murasakibara had already quickly passed by him and ran towards Ibu's half of the field. His purple hair fluttered in the wind, and his willful words could be heard faintly.

"I don't want it~"

"Qingzai~"

"Next, I will..."

"I won't lose to a muscle gorilla in terms of strength~"

"Please pass the ball to me next..."

"Shigure-senpai~!"

In the previous match, Fukaya Reiji had said something to Murasakibara about 'self-esteem'...

To a certain extent, Murasakibara has undergone a certain degree of transformation from feeling that the summer all-middle school games were tiring and annoying, and that basketball was boring.

I don’t know what Fukaya Reiji said to Murasakibara during the half-time break.

Murasakibara's fighting spirit...

He became particularly high-spirited again.

In Shigure Akito's opinion, Murasakibara might soon find the answer to the 'joy of basketball'.

Shigure Akito: "..."

That guy Reiji...

Although he doesn't talk much, he is truly a qualified senior compared to me.

Green room.

Murasakihara.

Everyone seemed to respect him very much.

……

Teiko's offensive turn.

In the Ibu penalty area, Murasakibara Atsushi held his back against Netakeya Nagakichi and exerted force suddenly, but failed to push his opponent away like in previous games, which made Murasakibara's expression even gloomier.

"Pass the ball!"

"senior!"

Whoosh!

The moment he finished speaking, the qualified entertainer point guard Shi Yu Qiuren immediately passed the ball.

He also wanted to see Netakeya Eikichi, who had already strengthened his muscles thanks to his guidance, against Murasakibara, a first-year student who hadn't yet blossomed.

In terms of strength, who wins and who loses~

but……

Judging from the brief confrontation just after 1.0, Yongji is indeed superior in terms of strength, right?
