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

then……

Although he failed to make the final decision in the competition with Shi Yu Qiu Ren.

But Takeuchi Genta, who also felt that he had won the upper hand, snorted coldly at Shirogane Nagaharu who was watching the show on the side, and then raised his head proudly.

Turn around and leave.

"Humph!"

The moment they passed each other, Takeuchi Genta snorted in dissatisfaction at the sight of Shirogane Eiji's always annoying smiling expression.

But that's it.

Shi Yu Qiuren's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Coach Takeuchi, I want to confirm with you one last thing. Regarding my autonomy in deciding the player lineup I want, this authority..."

"If I ask everyone to be 'specially recruited'."

"How big can it be?"

Having said that, Shigure Akito glanced at Nijimura Shuzo, Kurogane Shinji, and Fukaya Reiji, and Takeuchi Genta immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and his heart couldn't help but jump.

This guy Shigure Akito...

What a big ambition.

The so-called 'special recruitment' is what he mentioned earlier as 'scholarship'.

This is actually quite rare in the high school basketball world, but "special recruitment" is an established rule for the top players every year.

Hongcun built...

Naturally, no problem.

Even in terms of admission requirements, he can get the same level as Shi Yu Qiuren.

but……

That talk about Kuroname Shinji and Fukaya Reiji.

Although he came from the wealthy Teiko team, he was ultimately just a role player.

The number of special recruitments each year is limited, and two is already the limit. If it is a recruitment under general conditions, it would be fine, but Shi Yu Qiuren's intention is obviously more than that.

Besides...

Even if he is a role player, he is still Teiko after all.

At that time, we will definitely face competition from other teams, and if the conditions are not right, we will not be able to win.

Takeuchi Genta pondered for a moment, without giving a definite answer. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can only say that I will do my best..."

"but……"

"Before that, we need to confirm our strength."

Hear the words.

Shi Yu Qiu Ren smiled slightly. He naturally had no doubt about the strength of Hei Ming and Shen Gu. In this case, Hai Chang was also a good choice.

Yourself.

Hongcun.

Black name.

Deep valley.

If the four current second-year players at Teikoh were to all be promoted to the same high school next year, along with a suitable point guard, they should be able to compete with Rakuzan, who consists of three of the five generals and Ogioka Kasayuki.

What made him put aside Kise's concerns and temporarily change his mind was the selection of the point guard position. By the time they reached their first year of high school, Kaijo would have a point guard who was already a sophomore...

Yukio Kasamatsu.

The future captain of the Haichang High School basketball team and the spiritual pillar of the team.

A talented leader with strong command ability, he excels at pull-up, turnaround jump shots after fake cuts. He is agile and his speed is second only to the 'Generation of Miracles'.

His superb skills have made him a regular in high school basketball magazines.

A point guard who is good at breaking, shooting and passing.

Ok……

Even the mental attributes are excellent.

the other side.

Kuroname Shinji and Fukaya Reiji naturally had no reason to refuse Shigure Akito's self-assertion. Only Nijimura Shuzo, the only opponent in the team, frowned slightly.

But in the end...

He simply fixed his gaze on Shi Yu Qiu Ren.

Move away quietly.

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

There is still one year left, enough time to sink Shi Yu Qiu Ren into the abyss.

When the time comes, after I penetrate him...

Let’s decide later.

……

in the afternoon.

Round of 8.

Last year, Xianzhen was the 'runner-up last year' in Shiyu Qiuren's eyes, but this year, Xianzhen became the 'runner-up the year before last'.

If they are still in the same half of the bracket next year, Xianzhen will become the 'runner-up from two years ago'.

Ok……

They are indeed the 'Five Generals Without a Crown'.

It's so unlucky.

Before the quarterfinals begin.

Assistant coach Naoto Sanada gave everyone a detailed introduction to the opponent, but his main focus was on the first-year players who had never played against them.

"Xianzhen Middle School's strength has declined compared to last year, although its interior strength has declined with the retirement of one of the top five power forwards in the country."

"But with the further growth of Mibuchi Reio's strength, Senjin's outside shooting ability has undoubtedly increased. In the morning's match, it was Mibuchi Reio who single-handedly defeated another of the Five Generals, Kiyoshi Teppei."

"From a statistical point of view, Mibuchi Reio is second only to Shigure Akito at the shooting guard position, undoubtedly the second best in the country."

"..."

In the locker room.

After Naoto Sanada finished explaining the basic information.

Just like in previous games, Platinum Kozo came over with a tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

but……

Beyond Bai Jin Gengzao's expectations.

At this stage, Shigure Akito suddenly took the initiative to put forward a suggestion, and the conviction in the other party's eyes also made Shirogane Kozo follow and confirm this tactical arrangement.

then.

830 before the game starts.

Naoto Sanada led the team to form a circular formation.

"Give it your all to defeat Xianzhen! This year, we must not only win the All-China Championship, but also use our overwhelming strength to achieve a perfect victory!"

"With a resounding victory, we enter the third day of the decisive battle!"

"Target……"

"All-round champion!"

"All-round champion!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then everyone got ready and walked towards the player tunnel. As expected, there was a thunderous roar coming towards them.

at the same time.

The opposite side entered the field at the same time.

There was also the same trophy from Shi Yu Qiuren's private collection, the yellow and brown jerseys of Xianzhen Middle School, which were coming towards him in a tit-for-tat manner.

The leader.

4 number.

Really, Reiyo.

There was no trace of fear in his eyes, only excitement and fighting spirit shining in them. His back was straight, and his walking posture was light and elegant, yet powerful, showing his determination to win over Teikou.

The moment they met face to face, a word suddenly burst out from Mibuchi Reio's mouth.

Solemnly.

Not at all effeminate...

"As agreed, I changed my tone of voice just for you."

"Shigure-san."

Last year’s defeat really seemed like a long dream.

but……

I'm Reo Mibuchi, and I'm back for another challenge.

Shi Yu Qiu Ren.

Chapter 163: You are not the only one waiting to become the second best shooter in junior high school!

"How about this~"

"If you win, I'll give you the jersey back, but if I win, please speak to me like a normal person from now on."

'How about it?'

'Fair enough, right?'

For Shigure Akito, Mibuchi Reio was just one of the opponents he defeated last year. If it weren't for the 'intonation rules' that the opponent still remembered very carefully after a year, Shigure Akito himself would have forgotten about it.

"Are you ready to get your jersey back this time?"

"Um……"

For the past year, after finishing her training for the day, Reio Mibuchi would continue to shoot until the darkness of the night, like a fish that would suffocate if it didn't swim, or a migratory bird that would fall into the sea if it didn't flap its wings.

Whenever I think of this...

Mibuchi Reio looked like an evil spirit with ferocious eyes.

"Use all your strength..."

"You will suffer..."

"Shigure Akito."

Upon hearing this, Shigure Akito couldn't help but smile, "You didn't give me a direct 'win' answer this time, Mibuchi Reio."

Minoru Reiyo: "..."

Mibuchi Reio: "Shigure-san, you're still so...interesting."

Shigure Akito: "Well, please give me your guidance."

Mibuchi Reio: "Please give me your guidance."

When Shigure Akito and Mibuchi Reio were discussing "jerseys" and "victory" like last year.
