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

Resist Nijimura's pressure in front!

A trace of cold sweat ran down Shi Yu's forehead.

Just a little bit...

It was almost broken!

That Nijimura guy... went in again?!

Noticing Shi Yu Qiu Ren's eyes, Nijimura Shuzo's gaze suddenly swept over. Shi Yu Qiu Ren clearly read the words "What are you surprised about" from the other's eyes!

Just like when we first met...

This guy glared at me, but I understood what he was looking at at a glance.

……

score.

98: 38.

Bang~!

Bang~!

From a 21-point game, it unknowingly turned into a -point battle.

The constant pressure on the zone forced Shigure Akito's current offense to only be able to choose to play with his back to the basket while dragging his legs. Nijimura was crushed into the paint area by Shigure Akito's weight advantage.

After sharing life and death from the beginning, Nijimura briefly experienced a peak in scoring frequency comparable to Shigure, but it was only limited to from 56:14 to 72:30.

At the current score of 98:38, in the final stage of the static physical ability competition, Nijimura is completely unable to resist.

On the field.

Shigure Akito jumped sideways and turned his eyes to Nijimura Shuzo who was defending in the front!

Nijimura's eyes narrowed...

Slam dunk!

At times like this...

If it were Shigure, he would definitely do this!

Sure enough, Shi Yuqiuren grabbed the ball with one hand in the air and stretched it towards the basket without any concealment at all!

Fake action?

nonexistent.

Boom~!

For the second time in the match, both players fell out of the court.

100: 38.

After cleverly hitting 100 points, the two men were completely unable to stand up.

"This mud boat of yours is really hard to sink..."

"Hongcun.".

Chapter 223: 200

The thrilling duel between the two former captains ended.

Looking at the two seniors who were lying beside the basketball hoop, talking about something and competing with each other to see who would stand up first, Aomine Daiki with bright eyes suddenly glanced at Haizaki Shogo who also had a look of shock on his face and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Hey!"

"you say……"

"In high school, how many rivals like the seniors are there? After all, the two seniors are still in junior high school. If it were high school, wouldn't there be many rivals like them?!"

Haizaki Shogo: "!?"

"you……"

"Are you really an idiot?"

"How can it be……"

"Even in high school, those two guys are the strongest."

Akashi Seijuro clenched his fist, turned to look at the two of them, and suddenly said, "In high school, there might be another rival. He's Ogi Ogata Kasayuki, now known as the future of basketball. He was already in high school when we were in our first year. We met him when he came to watch the seniors' games."

"but……"

"We'll probably never have the chance to play against each other."

moment.

Qingfeng.

Haizaki.

There were also people like Midorima who were quietly listening around.

Everyone recalled that scene.

That Ogioka Kasayuki who was already over 2 meters tall when they were in the first grade.

That was the first time they saw a player that tall, and also the first time they saw a guy wearing a No. 4 jersey in his first year.

of course……

I'm a freshman in high school.

Moreover, there was a sentence that Ogioka Kasayuki said at that time that the carefree Aomine and Murasakibara remembered very clearly. It was the shocking sentence when the other party was talking to Shigure-senpai, "Now in Rakusan, my position is shooting guard."

Just when everyone was immersed in the stunning glimpse of Ogioka Kasayuki in their first year.

Akashi suddenly spoke again, "The result of this duel is that Captain Nijimura will join Shigure-senpai's team in high school. He's the same Kaijo who chased someone down last year and made Teiko refuse to leave."

"Now the result is confirmed..."

"high school……"

"The two seniors will still be on the same team."

At this time.

Midorima Shintaro frowned, "If I remember correctly, on the day that Coach Kaijo was late for training, even Fukaya and Kuroname-senpai went with him."

aside.

Fukaya Reiji nodded.

"Ah."

"It's confirmed."

"Haichang, I'll go too."

"Although I thought about becoming a core member of the team like Shigure and Nijimura in high school, when I think about it, Teiko's philosophy has completely permeated me."

"With Shizuyu and Nijimura on the team, I can't imagine any other ending."

"but me……"

"I don't really want to lose."

Although he had already expected it in his heart, when Senior Fukaya gave the answer, Midorima Shintaro still frowned.

With the combination of Senior Shigure and the village captain, even a tough senior like Fukaya made such a choice, so what should I do?

The picture I had envisioned of challenging myself on the high school stage had been torn to pieces. In this situation, it would be too arrogant to persist.

So……

It's also...

Two people?

Who is the most suitable one to choose?

Midorima's eyes scanned his teammates, finally settling on an answer he had never thought of.

"Eh?"

"Green boy~"

"Why are you looking at me like that~?"

Midorima Shintaro: "..."

perhaps……

That's okay.

If it were Murasakibara, I should be able to take the lead with my own style of play, and the combination of inside and outside lines would be the most reasonable.

at the same time.

Aside from Aomine and Murasakibara who weren't thinking about this at all, Haizaki and Akashi were both silent and lost in thought, but their gazes were different from Midorima's, who was fixed on a reasonable target like Murasakibara.

them……

One looked at Kuroko Tetsuya.

another……

Gently stroking the left eye that was already faintly orange, he whispered to himself: "We don't have to worry about this, anyway..."

"We've always been two people."

……

8 month.

The air is still filled with scorching heat.

The National Junior High School Basketball Conference, commonly known as the All-China Junior High School Basketball Conference, opened on a scorching day.

In the venue, as a team entered with imposing momentum, the reporters gathered on both sides of the aisle and even the audience sitting closer outside the venue all showed surprise on their faces.

soon.

In the first round of the national competition, the Teiko match and another match next to it started simultaneously at two different stadiums.

The game is in progress.

Different from the passionate stadium next door.

On Teiko's side...

Everyone, whether on or off the field, including the referee, opponents, and spectators, was terrified.

Then, in an eerie silence, the game ended.

".It's terrible... Captain Nijimura seems to have completely let himself go since losing to Shigure-senpai..." With a serious tone, Kise squinted his eyes at the bright lights above the stadium.

Murasakibara yawned slowly, "Right~?"

Looking at the defeated opponent on the court, Qingfeng scratched his head and tutted, "Sure enough, this year's opponents are so weak. I heard that none of the five generals were able to come to the national team. What's going on?"

"When playing against an opponent like this, I can only compete with myself in scoring."

"Ha~"

"With myself?"

"Why don't you compete with those two monsters?"

"..."

"Haizaki..."

"You scored 6 points less than me, please shut up."

Glancing at the relaxed faces of the others, slightly stained with sweat, Akashi smiled warmly as usual. As captain, he took the lead and walked to the center of the court. "Let's go and line up."

On the sidelines, reporters' cameras scanned the scoreboard.

Teikou vs Urayasu.
