Black Basketball: Before the miracle became an army, I had already won the championship

In a blink of an eye.

The second round of the Tokyo District Qualifiers.

The opponent... an old friend, Xingrong Middle School.

It was during that first grade that Shigure Akito recovered 27 points in one quarter in a training match. Tongtian Hongcun also completed a similar feat of chasing points with another team, which made the two seniors of Teikou and Nanaki Asahi and Izawa Sho decided...to take the initiative to find Sanada as assistant coach and give up their position on the second day.

Witnessing this by coincidence was a scene that touched Hongcun quite a lot.

Shigure Akito was also impressed.

It's worth mentioning... last year.

Also in the second round.

The unlucky Xingrong Middle School ran into Di Guang in the All-Zhong qualifiers.

But this year, the fate is very strange, it is exactly the same situation again.

The only difference is the people on the field. With the departure of last year's Xingrong third-year players, things have completely changed.

Director Platinum was not present in this game. After the first round, Assistant Coach Sanada confirmed with his own eyes the overwhelming difference in strength between the two stars in the starting lineup compared to other teams.

Contrary to the first round game, at the beginning of this game, he lined up a lineup with 1 starter and 4 substitutes, while the remaining starters were left until the end of the second half.

In this way... we can observe the intensity of the first-year players on the bench without breaking the opponent's mentality or exaggerating the lead.

Secondly... if it were before, he would never have such an idea.

But this year...

Sanada Naoto glanced at Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo on the bench, and thought, let's let his opponent, who is also a junior high school student, play half a game.

Courtside.

Atsushi Murasakihara.

Qingfeng Dahui.

Fukaya Reiji.

Midorima Shintaro.

Akashi Seijuro.

Five people started the game, and the only one who was left behind was Shogo Haizaki, who was sitting on the bench of No. 943, being suppressed by Nijimura, with a gloomy and unhappy look on his face.

Shigure Akito looked at Haizaki who didn't dare to say anything, and found it funny. He patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't be angry"

"It's just because of the position conflict that I replaced you."

"Moreover, you will play with Nijimura and me in the second half. Thinking about it this way, will you blend into the real starting lineup immediately?"

Haizaki Shogo:"！？"

It seems... right? snort!

That’s right!

So what if that black-skinned idiot starts the game? Everyone knows that’s not the real starting lineup!

Hongcun Building:"……"

Is this guy... so easy to fool?

……

On the field.

Even if you haven't watched the first round of the game, Xingrong Middle School knows how powerful Di Guang is due to historical reasons. What's more, the terrifying level of Di Guang's performance in the first round has already been widely spread. therefore.

Facing the first graders of Diguang who started today, Xingrong Middle School did not take any chances. They focused on shrinking defense on the inside, and sent the team's strongest defensive player on the outside, along with help defenders... who focused on the only player on the court. 'True starter'.

Second grade, No. 7 Fukaya Reiji.

It's obvious.

Xingrong Middle School made up its mind to start with defense.

It's not that they don't want to attack the opponent's first-year lineup, but this year's Xingrong Middle School's strength has declined compared to last year, and they are not allowed to do so at all.

However... as the game begins.

Coach Xingrong found out.

Not only the offense, but also the defense couldn't stand it at all.

As Reiji Fukaya is the only senior on the field, Coach Sanada means to use him as a stabilizing force on the field to provide guidance on the mistakes and errors that first-year players may make at certain times due to lack of experience.

But as they fought... everyone discovered that Reiji Fukaya suddenly became the most aggressive.

Reiji Fukaya is waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line. Every time he gets the ball, he has to face the opponent's small forward and the power forward who will attack here.

He had never experienced such treatment before when he was on the same court with Nijimura, Shigure and the others.

But obviously, although Xingrong Middle School had tried its best to overestimate the value of Diguang's"true starter", they did not expect that in the video, the player who was only very good at catching and shooting would have such power.

Akashi glanced at Fukaya-senpai

"……"

So useful.

All of Fukaya-senpai's skills are concentrated at the moment of catching the ball.

That kind of processing technology at the moment of receiving the ball can actively turn the pass from his teammate into a part of his offense in the first time. With various technical actions such as disguise, retreat, and fake movements that are almost completed at the same time as receiving the ball, he can pull the ball forward. Open space.

Then facing the second line of assisting defense, whether it is sudden or passing, because the 'power' is concentrated and 'exploded' in the moment of receiving the ball, the follow-up will be over in a very short period of time, without wasting any time.

Therefore, the flow of offense within the team is extremely fast and smooth.

Also let Akashi as the point guard.

Can't help but look for each other.

So... at the end of the first quarter.

The scores of the two teams.

34-12.

Xingrong, who had tried his best to delay the number of rounds, was still beaten by Teikou Middle School in the first quarter. The main reason was that Teikou, with Reiji Fukaya as the core of the offense, played too smoothly.

And... that No. 7 will never come by force.

The beating is reasonable!

If there are no double-teams, use that unique technique to open up space and shoot, and if you attract double-teams, pass!

But the root cause is actually a problem...

That acrobatic thing, no matter who it is, what distance, angle, speed, obviously different passes, Reiji Fukaya can catch the ball in the blink of an eye. In an instant, it turned into a variety of space-widening movements, and miraculous fake movements that were almost like seeing a phantom.

……

"This year’s Diguang……"

"call……"

"What to do next?"

The third grader of Xingrong Middle School this year, and the captain of the substitute players last year, everyone was numb after one quarter, and he looked at Teiko Middle School with lingering fear.

No. 7...

Fukaya Reiji.

One can't see his eyes at all.

He has A guy with strange bangs.

As the captain and the small forward on the field, he faced Reiji Fukaya at the beginning of the game.

Then, as time passed, he was completely beaten after receiving the ball.

His technique is extremely fast, with many changes in an instant, and sometimes there are magical fake moves, all of which occur at the moment of receiving the ball.

There is no way to predict the action, even if he tries to go around and cut off the passing route.

, the opponent's superb movement, and the sudden and strange"explosive" speed often made him come back without success.

In just one quarter, he was caught and beaten like a sieve...

…

His eyes drifted to Teiko No. 8, the first-year point guard, Akashi Seijuro.

"This first grade brat……"

It's easy to use...

I'll use it all the time...

As a first grader, especially a first grader who started the last game, but was completely in charge of the seniors, he didn't have the slightest feeling of seizing the opportunity to perform...

On the contrary... other things don't matter, Just win.

Then he grabbed No. 7's ability, hugged his thigh, and pinched it desperately

"call……"

"That number 7"

"His strength is probably... one of the best in the country.……"

The coach of Xingrong Middle School glanced in the direction of Di Guang, sighing secretly again that Di Guang had so many talents, but he didn't notice at all, because of his words, the team members looked quite lonely.

……

Come up for the second quarter.

Teikou has not made any adjustments to its lineup.

Attack round. clang!

"Eh?"

"Oops……"

Qingfeng's shot bounced out of the basket under the full interference of the opponent's power forward with his height. The basket was in a panic for a moment. Xingrong's center didn't look at the rebound at all and tried his best to fight against Diguang's first-year center behind him.

Snap~!

Good luck.

The placement of the ball was favorable to Xingrong Middle School, and the small forward got the rebound.

Fight back quickly!

Atsushi Murasakihara frowned and kept mumbling 'trouble', but his steps didn't look like a center forward at all, keeping up with Seiei Middle School's counterattack.

But... bang~!

Pick and roll!

In the Teikou half, near the free throw line, Xingei Middle School made a screen to block Murasakihara Atsushi, the tallest person on the Teikou court. Then, the shooting guard entered the penalty area and attacked the basket!

When Murasakihara Atsushi wanted to continue chasing, he felt that he was out of reach.

"……"

I can't catch him~ It

's obviously at the free throw line...

Smiling senior's 'super wide range defense' can easily catch up to the basket from here, but he can't do it at all...

Atsushi Murasakihara A stunned moment.

Beside... a white figure passed by!

Number 7!

One section... two sections... two sections 'exploded' in succession.

Fukaya Reiji's hair was all blown to the back of his head in the breaking wind. Murasakihara also clearly saw the sharp and firm eyes of the gloomy senior at this moment.

���~!

One step inside the free throw line!

He doesn't have the terrifying jumping ability of Akito Shigure, and he sacrifices a considerable part of his jumping ability to catch up at a flat distance, but obviously, his opponent doesn't have it either.

The position where the shot was finally blocked was not even the height of the backboard!

Snap~!

Fan flew out of the field!

Murasakihara Atsushi:"……"

So... can I catch him?

Turning his head, not far away, the gloomy senior was walking towards him. He was obviously looking down at him from a higher position, but under his breathtaking aura, he seemed to see a tall figure.

The moment they passed each other, the other party's words shocked Murasakihara's whole body.

"talent……"

"Talent……"

"Murasakibara, you have everything"

"Even if you have no interest in basketball, you have everything, even if you are arrogant, you should at least have the self-esteem not to lose to ordinary people."

"But I didn’t see the ball just now at all."

"you lose".
