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

“It makes me excited for some reason.”

"Hey, Inoue, aren't you excited at all? This is Kaijo. Thinking of Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo standing before me in the semifinals makes my muscles feel like they're on fire!"

"Uh..." Inoue Natsuki was originally immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly heard what Netakeya Nagaki said. He nodded awkwardly, feeling that Netakeya Nagaki was a little overwhelmed, "Indeed, a little..."

At this time.

Although he was in the same first year as Inoue Natsuki, Akashi Seijuro, who was already the captain, stood up.

Turn around.

Facing everyone in Luoshan.

"As for Hai Chang, it's meaningless to study them now. As long as we believe in everything we have done during this period and confirm that we have done everything we can, that is enough..."

"leftover……"

"Leave it all to the competition."

"Honestly... I really want to go to the finals to see my other two teammates~ the ace of the Generation of Miracles, Aomine Daiki, and the genius Kise Ryouta~"

"For this last game of the summer, I don't want to just stay at Haichang."

Everyone laughed when they heard this:

“It’s so difficult~”

"It's really not the finals with Kaijo~"

"Come on, everyone!"

……

IH finals.

First round.

Although they are clearly a team in the lower half of the bracket, the organizers directly arranged the morning match as the focus match, Kaijo vs. Luoshan. This has been the main theme since the Teiko Twins entered the high school basketball world last year.

Although everything seemed to have started well but ended badly last year as Kasa Yuki Ogioka joined the U20 team after the end of IH, the subsequent national team and winter cup championship competition was still between Kaijo and Rakuzan.

And this year.

It is generally recognized that the suspense of the championship lies with these two teams.

therefore.

Before the game even started, the venue was already packed with people.

In IH, many teams that had already lost had a few players come together, and some simply had their coaches bring all the players to watch the game.

among them.

Yangquan.

Cheng Lin.

All present.

Seirin and Yozen happened to be sitting close to each other, so several old teammates, including Kuroko Tetsuya, Haizaki Shogo, Midorima Shintaro, and Murasakibara Atsushi, simply sat in adjacent seats.

It's just that Haizaki Shogo was a little embarrassed because when Yangquan was defeated, the outcome of the match against Seirin was unfortunately predicted by the charlatan Midorima in the backstage bathroom.

It was also at this time that Midorima's charade began again.

"really……"

"The first one to walk up to the seniors was Akashi."

"That's as expected."

Midorima Shintaro said this and his gaze fell on the Rakuzan side of the court, where Akashi Seishiro was doing dribbling warm-ups.

"Which side will win today?"

Haizaki Shogo glanced at Midorima Shintaro with a strange look on his face. His lucky item today was a winning headband. "Who are you asking? Why aren't you telling fortunes anymore?"

Midorima Shintaro pushed his sunglasses down. "Honestly, even though Rakuzan had Ogioka Kasayuki last year, I still think this year's Rakuzan is stronger. If they were to face last year's Kaijo..."

"Akagi has every chance of winning."

Haizaki Shogo was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment, he nodded in understanding. The members of Seirin and Yangquan around him were listening to the conversation of the Miracle Generation nervously.

"but……"

Haizaki Shogo raised an eyebrow, then continued, picking up Midorima's words, "But that monster Shigure Akito is bound to get stronger every year."

"A monster that gets stronger the more you fight it."

Midorima Shintaro nodded, "And Captain Nijimura, his pride and talent may not surpass, but he will definitely keep up with Shigure-senpai's pace."

"But……"

"I don't know why, but compared to Kaijo, I still want to see Akashi win."

At this time.

Kuroko Tetsuya said dimly, "Because our predecessors have never lost."

Haizaki Shogo: "..."

It's also because I want to see the possibility of defeating those two monsters.

Midorima Shintaro: "..."

even if...

Not myself.

……

Hai Chang is on the bench.

This was the first time Hai Chang had emphasized the tactical layout before a game this time since he came to IH. After all, the opponent was Luoshan, theoretically the strongest opponent in high school basketball.

soon.

Amid the passionate voice of the host, players from both teams officially took the stage.

Every time the host called out the name of a Luoshan team member, applause would break out from the audience, and when Akashi came on stage, the cheers reached a climax.

But soon, when it was Hai Chang's turn, everyone realized that what they thought was the peak was far from the limit.

"The next one to appear is...!!"

"Kaijo High School!"

"Whoa!"

"Hai Chang!"

"Hai Chang!"

"Here they come, Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo!!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two most important players in the Kaijo team appeared on the court. When Yu Qiuren walked into the court with a smile on his face and Nijimura Shuzo with a fierce look on his face, the whispers in the entire gymnasium suddenly dropped for a moment.

follow closely……

A tsunami is coming!

“What a powerful sound!”

"Is that the Teiko Twins?"

"really……"

"Just by looking at them like this, you can feel that they are unusual."

After the Kaijo starting lineup all took the field, everyone on the other side of the field looked at each other with a slightly tense expression. Among them, Hayama Kotaro smiled brightly, "What an imposing presence! As expected of them~"

"Ha~"

"Just hearing their names is creepy enough~"

……

After the teams were assembled, the players from both teams stood facing each other in the center circle, and everyone's attention was focused on the two teams on the field.

"Akashi, I'm really not surprised at all that you're standing in front of me." Shigure Akito stood in front of Akashi Seijuro and suddenly spoke.

At the same time, Akashi raised his chin slightly, and his strong aura was so strong that even though he was much shorter than Shigure Akito, he was not at all inferior to him.

But for Shigure Akito, just the sight of Akashi looking up at him was magical.

of course……

Compared to the original plot.

"Akagi, you don't have any chuunibyou at all, it's really strange~" Shigure Akito couldn't help but laugh. "This kind of scene, if you can say I will use this match to show you what the difference in status is, and then glare at me with the eyes of the emperor, it might be more interesting."

Having said this, Shigure Akito suddenly paused.

"But to me I also say..."

"As expected, the current you is the real Akashi."

Akashi Seijuro: "..."

Shigure-senpai...

You are saying something you don't understand again. Even if it was your second personality before merging, you wouldn't say such rude words to your senior, right?

but……

"Senior, it's interesting. I'll let you see it on the field." 5.8 "That's great. I'll wait and see~"

This is my black basketball world~

Interesting~

……

"Game start!"

Toot~~~

With the opening whistle, IH's strongest battle to date officially began.

The referee threw the ball high into the air, and Shigure Akito and Netaketani Nagakichi jumped up to fight for the ball. It was visible to the naked eye that Shigure Akito was ahead by half the height of his forearm, and won the ball for Kaijo at the start of the game.

But next second.

beep~

Dududu~~

"Blue 5! Jump ball violation!"

Fukaya Reiji: “……?”

Kuroname Shinji: “……!”

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

Nijimura's sharp eyes swept over, and he changed from a lion-like posture with his waist slumped and his center of gravity lowered to standing with his hands on his hips straight. "Even Murasakibara wouldn't make such a mistake, Shigure..."

It was strange that I was only ahead by half an arm's height during the jump ball.

Normally……

Shi Yu must be ahead by at least a forearm.

Tsk~

This guy……

The ball was hit too early and didn't reach the highest point.

Are you too excited?

Spectator stands.

Midorima, Haizaki, Murasakibara, and Kuroko looked at each other. Speaking of which... this was the first time they saw Shigure-senpai make a mistake in a jump ball.

On the field.

Luo Shan has the ball.
