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

No mercy.

Some of the shots looked like they were played for physicality's sake.

The second-year students, Ichijun, didn't quite know the inside story and felt that although Hayama Kotaro was a bit frivolous and a bit rude to Nanagi Asahisa-senpai, perhaps his crimes were not so serious?

This was beaten...

It hurts just looking at it!

……

Nijimura Shuzo trained Hayama Kotaro.

Until the end of the game, Ye Shan failed to defend against Nijimura's goal. At this time, he was leaning on his knees with his hands, lowering his head and keeping silent.

to be frank.

Compared to Hayama Kotaro who was laughing and talking big when he entered the stadium, this contrast now actually feels quite refreshing in the eyes of the Teiko players.

Especially the third-grade players.

"Is it really that great to be born a year or two earlier?"

"Ha~"

"Now it seems that those born later are not so good?"

"We're both first graders."

“No.”

the other side.

Shigure Akito frowned slightly.

Then everyone saw him considerately handing water and a towel to Hayama Kotaro, but the words he blurted out next with an unfriendly look on his face made everyone around him frown.

"that……"

"Hayama-san...?"

"It's my turn now. Do you want to rest? Or just fight?"

Nijimura Shuzo stood next to Shigure Akito. He first glanced at Shigure, and when he saw the other party squatting on the ground, holding a towel in one hand and a water bottle in the other, slightly tilting his head, trying to see Hayama Kotaro's expression clearly, his brows couldn't help but twitch.

then……

He turned his target to Hayama Kotaro.

"When it comes to basketball, it's not necessarily that you're better."

"and……"

"It's not a question of how powerful I am, nor is it because of my age."

"It's because every second- and third-year player here has worked harder and persevered in basketball longer than you have, so it doesn't matter where you come from or who you are."

"The moment you step into Teiko Arena, you must show respect for this matter."

"Any comments?"

"Chang Yuan is a first-year student."

Hearing what Nijimura Shuzo said, Shigure looked up at him in surprise, while the rest of the second and third graders subconsciously turned to look at their captain, Okura Masaaki.

Are these words... ?

They look too similar?

But is Nijimura Shuzo actually someone who would say such a thing?

Shigure Akito, who knew the plot well, originally thought that Nijimura was simply teaching Hayama Kotaro a lesson, but he didn't expect that Nijimura's actions had quietly taken on a higher meaning.

Chapter 049: Before hitting the target, Platinum Kōzo’s devilish training!

Because Hayama Kotaro was defeated by Nijimura Shuzo and his mentality was unbalanced due to anger, the coach of Changyuan Junior High School finally stood up at this time and stopped this one-on-one farce before the training match officially started for the purpose of protection.

However, it is obvious at this point that it doesn't mean much.

After the training match begins.

Looking at Nanagi Asahi and Izawa Sho sitting on the bench, the remaining three third-year starters chose to attack with the same heavy punch as Nijimura Shuzo just now!

And Shigure Akito, who failed to have a one-on-one duel with Hayama Kotaro, was a little annoyed and frequently rushed into the penalty area for dunks!

In the end, the one who was relatively calm on Teiko's side was Shuzo Nijimura, whose style became obviously as steady as a rock once he entered the formal 5v5 match.

Everyone at Changyuan International Middle School looked confused.

[The current Road to Glory mission, 'Training Match - Changyuan International', has been completed...]

Previously, all the talent cards were used up because I chose two skills. The player coins were in a similar situation because I drew 'Uekusa Tomoyuki'. As for the advanced cards, I only need 30 cards to reach the 6 required to advance from D to C.

After the game, Shigure Akito checked the current accumulation of materials. He estimated that before the All-China Qualifiers, he would be able to complete an attribute upgrade after playing a few more training matches.

……

At the entrance of the First Army Stadium.

Captain Okura Masaaki waved his hand and asked the onlookers who were seeing off Changyuan Middle School to disperse.

Even after just finishing a training match.

But for the first team's main players, this is only a part of today's training content. As the All-China Qualifiers are approaching, they have entered a stage of high-intensity preparation.

and……

For the third graders, if they fail there will be no next year. In order to defend the glory of the powerful Teiko and leave with the championship honor in the last three years of their junior high school career, they cannot afford to slack off.

It was at this time.

Coach Platinum walked in from outside the stadium.

He first glanced at Nijimura Shuzo, then smiled and said, "Looking energetic? The preliminaries for the All-China Championship are coming up soon, so it's time to adjust our training."

All the army members, except for the two newcomers Shigure and Nijimura, were shocked and swallowed nervously.

soon.

The First Army was organized under the command of Captain Okura Masaaki.

aside.

Nanagi Asahi whispered to Shigure Akito, "Be careful today and control your stamina. Coach Platinum is different from Coach Sanada. The training he personally participates in is truly devilish."

Having said that, Nanagi Asahi frowned.

"Although the supervisor doesn't come over very often, what he likes most is to watch us train quietly from a place where we can't see him."

"That's observation..."

“Targeted.”

"With the competition approaching, Coach Platinum will fully incorporate his observations into the training during this phase."

"That part is the most painful."

Izawa Sho took over his words and said, "In short, Director Platinum has a very 'devilish' saying."

In a military formation, Shigure and Nijimura were already in the front row, followed by Nanagi Asahi, Izawa Sho, and the other two third-year starters, Utsumi Masahiko and Eba Masatoshi.

They said in unison:

"As long as you can still stand, it means you can still practice."

Shigure Akito: "..."

What the hell!

Is this such an unscientific way of training?

After a while.

When the actual practice started, Shigure Akito immediately understood what the starting seniors said. For a junior high school student, such training was simply a fantasy!

Just look at Nijimura Shuzo who is gasping for breath and you will know that the only thing that made him become like this is the "warm-up" from Coach Platinum.

of course……

Shigure Akito himself was in a similar state.

The two looked at each other.

They all understood the emotions in each other's eyes.

Shigure Akito: The devilish old man.

Shuzo Nijimura: Damn old man.

After the so-called "warm-up training", Shirogane Kozo suddenly came to the side of Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo. His words, which were always accompanied by a smile, now had a gloomy feeling when they fell into Shigure's ears.

"It's just the beginning. Are you tired, Shigure-san?"

"Ok?"

"What about you, Nijimura~?"

Shi Yu Qiuren stared at the old man in front of him with gray hair and meticulously combed hair. From the meticulously slicked back hair, he saw the other person's unique ruthlessness.

Nijimura Shuzo: "It's still a long way off!"

Shigure Akito: "..."

Shigure Akito: "That..."

Shigure Akito: "Am I okay too?"

It was visibly evident that when Shirogane Kozo nodded, his smile widened, and he acknowledged the two's answers, "Very good~ Very energetic~"

"So……"

"Let's do a one-hour fast break training~"

"Looking forward to your performance next~"

"Oh, right~"

"Your captain, Masaaki Okura, is in charge of the defense under the basket~"

Shigure Akito turned to look at Okura Masaaki, a junior high school center who was over 190cm tall, and his expression froze. This was the only one that Shigure had failed to beat when he challenged a first-team player to a duel.

Ok……

The same goes for Nijimura Shuzo.

Pure hard power.

At that time, Hongcun was in a terrible situation.

Chapter 050: He is just arrogant and takes 'victory' as a natural byproduct!

Teiko Junior High School's devilish training finally entered the adjustment and recovery period a week before the start of the Tokyo preliminaries.

And Shigure Akito also successfully completed the advancement of the first player's attributes. After carefully comparing various attributes, he finally chose to advance 'Kiyota Nobunaga'.

From D→C, all of Kiyota Nobunaga's attributes increased by 6 points.

As for Shi Yu Qiuren himself, after comparing all the players he had obtained and taking the highest value of each attribute of all players, his current attribute was...
