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

The third grade students of Dongying Middle School were naturally speechless at these words, but the first grade students and some second grade students who couldn't recognize themselves were all brightened up.

Yup!

They are all first graders!

Why are you so much better than us!

practice!

Go back and practice!

……

After Teiko's victory, news came from the semi-finals in the other half of the region.

Okayama Junior High School defeated their opponents with an overwhelming advantage, winning by a large margin and advancing to the finals.

In addition, what caught Shigure Akito's attention was the fall of all five generals in the other half of the area, including Kiyoshi Teppei.

But...tongue...

After all, they are the five generals of the first grade.

It's not too surprising.

And next.

This summer, the final battle of Quanzhong is coming.

That afternoon...

Teiko vs. Okayama! .

Chapter 069: Down-to-earth Okayama, everyone will cheer for us!

That afternoon.

Before the game between Teiko Junior High School and Okayama Junior High School.

The audience was all talking about Teiko, who made it back to the finals this year, their astonishing first-year twin stars, and Okayama, who also made it to the finals in the other half of the group and were even more dominant than last year.

While the high school IH preliminaries have not yet ended, the final of this national competition has attracted everyone's attention.

The audience supporting Teiko are looking forward to the third-year players winning the championship before leaving junior high school, while the audience in Okayama are looking forward to them going on to high school basketball with a second consecutive championship.

Amidst all the heated discussions among the audience and fans, the venue was already full of people with an hour left before the game, and the noise filled the entire stadium.

Looking around, there is a clear boundary between the spectator stands on both sides. Those are the school cheering groups from Teiko and Okayama respectively in the finals.

'Victory in every battle'.

'Mountains stop and rivers travel'.

The banners hanging on the stands had Teiko's white on one side and Okayama's black on the other. The booming cheers allowed everyone to feel the two teams' enthusiasm for victory, which further aroused the enthusiasm of other spectators.

And at this time, Teiko and Okayama.

Before entering the stadium, they were surrounded by weekly basketball reporters stationed on the scene.

Teiko side.

"Shigure-san, you will be fighting against the powerful Okayama next. Do you feel any pressure or tension?"

The reporter's question was not aimless. No matter how outrageous the player Shigure Akito's performance was in this conference, he was only a freshman after all. Under such high pressure with the championship right in front of him, it was normal for his mentality to change during the game.

The reporter was very curious about this.

then……

He saw Shi Yu Qiuren shaking his head, "No, no matter who the opponent is, I don't feel pressure or nervous. On the contrary, the stronger the opponent..."

Heart: The more intense the reward is~

Mouth: The more excited I am~

The excitement faintly revealed in Shigure Akito's voice gave everyone in Teiko more courage.

the other side.

Okayama side.

Unlike the reporters at Teiko who asked the first question to the super rookie Shigure Akito, the reporter at Okayama asked their captain Hagioka Kasayuki.

When asked by a reporter from Basketball Weekly about the championship, Hagioka Kasayuki replied with his usual composure: "No matter what goal you want to achieve, you must be down-to-earth and proceed step by step..."

"At this point, I think we're ready."

The meaning is self-evident.

……

After the appearance.

Shigure Akito finally witnessed the "Okayama Miracle" that had never appeared in the original plot.

They were wearing black jerseys, and the starting players were the tallest among all the players in the middle school. With their well-developed muscles, they clearly had the 'look' of a high school student at 630cm tall compared to the junior high school students.

The momentum is extraordinary.

Boom~!

Boom~!

Boom~!

During Okayama's warm-up, although they didn't look like they were showing off intentionally, even the point guard easily completed a dunk during the pass and cut, which still caused exclamations from the audience.

As a result, the atmosphere among the substitutes doing shooting training at Teiko became a little tense.

"Although the talent of Okayama's starting lineup isn't the best individually, as a team they are definitely the best. Even Teiko can't match them!"

"Tsk...~"

"Isn't it just a slam dunk? Shigure can dunk much better than them!"

In the audience, Kurona Shinji, who came to watch the finals with Fukaya Reiji, heard what the uncle next to him said and immediately retorted.

aside.

Fukaya Reiji nodded.

The uncle frowned and glanced over, then saw Shinji Kurona, who was 190 cm tall and had a fierce look on his face.

Uncle: "..."

So high!

Teiko's school uniform?

What do today's middle school students eat when they grow up?!

On the field.

Teiko is still doing warm-up exercises step by step.

but.

When they heard the Okayama players bombarding the basket, they couldn't help but look back.

Especially Teiko's substitute players.

"Everyone, cheer up! Don't let them distract you. Aside from Jiang Ba, aren't all our starting players capable of dunking? Isn't Shi Yu's dunk good enough?"

Jiang Bachangli: "..."

I thank you!

Izawa Sho, who was entrusted with the important task of this match, scolded the substitutes, and Nanagi Asahi said with a gloomy face, "Make sure you warm up well..."

"This is the final. Even if you are a substitute, you must be ready to play at any time."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Although they answered with great energy, their nervousness could still be seen.

Among the people on the team now, even the third-year players have no championship experience and have not taken that step. Although it is difficult to explain, they are indeed weaker than Okayama in momentum.

For example, Shigure and Nijimura, as first-year students, were also dunking during the warm-up, but everyone on the Okayama side, including the substitutes, did not distract themselves even for a moment.

at this time.

Shigure Akito picked up a basketball and quietly walked towards midfield.

With the sudden increase in the number of spectators, there were naturally many who only came to the scene for the finals. Everyone looked at Teikou No. 7 with puzzled eyes, wondering what he was up to.

Is he preparing to start from midfield and then sprint for a slam dunk?

the other side.

Shigure Akito's sudden move to approach their warm-up half finally caught Okayama's attention.

Then they saw Shigure Akito...

Bend your knees.

Korfball.

Raise your hand.

At the center circle, Shi Yu easily made an ultra-long three-pointer. With a "swish", the basketball passed through the net and the three-pointer was hit.

"..."

After a brief silence, the audience suddenly burst into cheers, shocked by Shi Yu Qiuren's incredible three-pointer.

“What a long three-pointer!”

"Can we get in here?"

"That's Teiko's trump card. The long three-pointer is his signature skill."

"what?"

"Can you shoot like this during a game?"

In the audience, Kuroname Shinji and Fukaya Reiji looked at each other in surprise. They were released from training camp on the day of the Teiko finals, so it was their first time seeing the All-China Tournament version of Shigure Akito.

I never expected that...

This guy has such an outrageous three-point ability again.

On the field.

Phew~!

Shigure Akito hasn't stopped yet.

After the first three-pointer, he immediately moved, and the moment he landed, Nijimura Shuzo's pass followed him accurately and delivered the cannonball.

then……

It was another elegant shot by 'Kami Ichiro - Super Long Three Pointer'.

The movements are smooth and flowing.

Three-pointer shot!

Swish~!

The moment the net was penetrated, ripples were created.

Shi Yuqiu was in the center circle, stepping on the mark of 'Kamijō Ichiro·God's Domain', and hit several targets in a row, and his shots were getting farther and farther, until they crossed the center line and stopped.

The main reason for being able to do this is because of the talent of Kamiso Ichiro that Shigure recently pointed out.

[God's Limit: If Kamiso Ichiro uses a scoring skill in 'God's Domain' to make a three-pointer, the skill's usable range will be increased, breaking the limit, up to 3 times.]

At the same time, thanks to the reward for winning the previous game, he completed the advancement of Kiyota Nobunaga again.
