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

but.

Shigure Akito, who had already seen the clues, suddenly said something in a low voice.

"Coach~"

"You probably won't reveal tactics or anything, right~?"

"when……"

"of course not!"

After the coaches of both teams left, Midorima and Murasakibara, as the juniors, were the first to come forward and greet each of the seniors in turn. However, the bag of snacks in Murasakibara's hand still made Shigure Akito couldn't help but laugh.

On the other side, looking at Midorima and Murasakibara, and the well-behaved appearance of Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo, the captain Kenichi Okamura felt jealous.

at the same time.

Nijimura Shuzo was actually quite surprised when he saw Murasakibara now. After all, it was still quite shocking to see such a tall player in real life.

What's more, Murasakibara lived up to his huge appetite. After just one year, he had become much stronger, and his muscles clearly showed signs of training.

After a while.

The serious Midorima was the first to express his determination before the game.

But before Shigure Akito could respond to Midorima's determination to fight, Nijimura, who was standing beside him with his arms crossed, smiled first, and then glanced at Fukaya Reiji and Kurona Shinji.

"Midorima, you guys..." Nijimura folded his arms, one of his fingers raised, "First defeat Reiji and Shinji, and then you can stand in front of us..."

"Be mentally prepared in advance..."

"It's not that easy."

Chapter 367: In the end, the 'little monster' can only be fought with the 'monster'! (Two in one)

Fukaya Reiji's expression remained unchanged upon hearing Nijimura Shuzo's words. As for Kurona Shinji, when he looked at Murasakibara, he couldn't help but think...

I don’t have that kind of confidence.

only……

When Reiji, with his bangs covering his eyes, looked at him, the thoughts in Shinji Kuroname's heart suddenly disappeared, and the look in his eyes towards Murasakibara was inexplicably confident.

Just at this time.

A group of female fans suddenly gathered around, their eyes basically fixed on Hai Chang.

Ok……

More of it is Nijimura, and the other part is Shigure.

After all, compared to the 190cm Nijimura and the 202cm Kurona Shinji, the height is too oppressive and unapproachable. As for Fukaya Reiji, his appearance is simply too gloomy.

As for Shigure Akito, his strength, face, and 197cm height are all given a suitable filter.

Looking at the surrounded Nijimura and Shigure...

Captain Kenichi Okamura of Yangquan closed his eyes and hid aside with a look of loss on his face, his expression exaggeratedly drooping: "Damn it...! There's no chance of being hit on at all...!"

"really……"

"It's all fake that playing basketball in high school will make you popular!"

aside.

Fukui Kensuke patted Okamura Kenichi on the shoulder, then glanced in the direction of Nijimura Shuzo and Shigure Akito, "Don't worry, playing basketball will still be popular..."

"Your situation..."

"I just don't have any luck with women."

Okamura Kenichi, who was stabbed by his own vice-captain, was then hit by a critical blow from the foreign student Liu Wei. "If the beard and chin are removed, maybe things will turn around, Aru~"

Okamura Kenichi: “!?”

Forget the beard...

jaw?!

"How can I possibly get rid of that? This is too much, wuwuwu~~~!"

the other side.

Murasakibara didn't even have the desire to complain about Kenichi Okamura's chin. Looking at her empty bag of snacks, she remembered that she had just gone to find a convenience store.

"By the way..."

"Can I go to the convenience store now~?"

Kenichi Okamura's face darkened. Although he didn't want to be ridiculed by the first-year kids, he was completely ignored, which made him even more upset. He was the captain of Yangquan!

Then the next second, Midorima Shintaro spoke, "Alright, enough of the nonsense, Coach Araki is back, get ready to go on the field, we still need to warm up."

Okamura Kenichi: “…”

hateful!

I feel like this guy is more of a captain than me.

……

soon.

Like Okamura, Takeuchi Genta, who failed in attracting women, led Kaijo and his group to the player tunnel.

"it is good!"

"Is everyone ready?!"

"It's coming!"

"Oh!!"

Nijimura Shuzo's calm yet encouraging voice came from the player's tunnel, and then all the players of the champion Kaijo team came on the court. They walked out of the player's tunnel, and the stadium was filled with the familiar incandescent lights. Everyone came to the bench on Kaijo's side and put down their equipment.

"Ohhhh! Finally, it's time to go on stage!"

"The elite of the blue team that the Teikou Twins belong to, the defending champion Kaijo who defeated Luoshan to win the championship last year!"

"Come on!"

"Hai Chang!"

On the other side, Yang Quan also quickly stepped onto the court. As expected, due to his extraordinary average height, there was a burst of exclamations from the stands.

"Here it comes... Three consecutive rounds, an unprecedented scoreless victory! Akita's iron wall, Yangquan!"

"It's so high, too exaggerated!"

"really……"

"Yoshitsu's three inside players are the tallest group in this IH class! They're all over 200cm tall! Even the backcourt has the 195cm-tall Miracle Generation shooter, Midorima Shintaro!"

"The center, Murasakibara Atsushi, also from the Generation of Miracles, is 208cm tall. Remember, last year, Ogioka Kasa Yuki was only 203cm tall in his third year, and Murasakibara is only in his first year..."

Amidst the heated discussions of the audience, players from both teams went on the court to warm up.

at the same time.

Yukio Kasamatsu looked at Kensuke Fukui, who would be facing him today.

176 cm.

And I am 178 cm tall.

This was the only person in the whole venue that he could match up to in terms of height. As for the others, Kasamatsu Yukio took a sideways glance and looked at them again. Sure enough, they were still so outrageous, each one as big as a small mountain.

And on Haichang's side...

to be honest……

Although he was a level shorter, he was still above average for high school basketball. Suddenly, Kasamatsu Yukio felt as if he had skipped the high school game and entered the professional arena directly.

however……

Kensuke Fukui of Yangquan felt the same way when he looked towards Kaichang: the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from the other side...

It's like a big tree with roots deeply buried in the ground!

soon.

Warm-up time is over.

Yangquan coach Masako Araki was giving the final encouragement before the match, "Although I think you are already very clear about the level of our opponent today!"

"It won't work if you don't give it your all from the start!"

“When the game starts, we must go all out!”

"but……"

"We don't need to change our playing style! Defend! Block everything! Show them the power of Yangquan's iron wall! Offense! Let Midorima take the lead on the court!"

"Oh!!"

"Oh!"

the other side.

Haichang High School.

Takeuchi Genta had nothing much to say, and finally handed it over to Nijimura Shuzo to command the formation of a circle. The starting lineup, from the beginning, was the five people with the strongest firepower in Kaijo!

Players from both teams walked onto the field.

"Then the first match of the quarterfinals will begin...!"

"The match between Haichang High School and Yangquan High School!"

Beep~!

The referee's whistle sounded.

Players from both teams stepped onto the field and lined up at the center line to salute.

"Please advise!"

"Please advise!"

In the center circle, the one waiting for the jump ball on Kaijo's side was still Shigure Akito, while on the other side of Yangquan, as expected, it was Murasakibara Atsushi who was staring at Shigure with burning eyes.

beep~

"Get ready for jump ball!"

The referee blew the whistle again, and then both sides formed their formations.

The next second, the ball was thrown high into the air. The moment it was thrown into the air, Shi Yu Qiuren's thigh muscles, which had been in a deep squat, tensed up, like a taut bowstring that was snapped!

It is clear……

The squat is deeper than the previous competition!

In the field.

Because of the differences in static body and jumping ability, the two jumped one after another!

follow closely……

Everyone in Kaijo also realized that Shigure seemed to jump higher than usual in the jump ball today. However, even so, Murasakibara on the opposite side was still able to keep up with Shigure in height.

It’s not because Shigure lost in jumping ability, but because Murasakibara has an extraordinary arm span that is the same as his height!

How long is it...

That guy!?

Like a gibbon!

On the Yangquan side, everyone was equally surprised. Although they had expected this during the pre-match analysis, they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed when they saw with their own eyes that someone could compete with Murasakibara in the jump ball.

Kensuke Fukui's eyes narrowed.

"..."

Murasakibara's concentration was very high today, and he did not commit a violation by touching the ball before it reached its highest point.
