The opening ceremony was held in the hallway, and the audience was very excited.

"Aze, tell me, how long will this unveiling ceremony take? This guy is so talkative! I really admire him!" Qingfeng fiddled with his fingers in boredom, raised his head weakly, and stared at the man on the stage who was chattering and eloquent with a look of despair.

"Yeah, I can't stand it anymore..." Bai Ze agreed with Qingfeng's complaint. After all, he had experienced such long and boring meetings and speeches in his previous life. Those so-called big leaders always enjoy making long speeches, as if time is just for wasting.

At this moment, Murasakibara directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "I'm starving! I really want to eat some snacks quickly!!!" He gestured with his teeth and claws, and stared at the speaker on the stage who was still talking nonstop with eyes full of desire and resentment. He looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Seeing this, Akashi shook his head helplessly, then gently patted Murasakibara on the back, and lowered his voice to comfort him: "A Dun, be patient for a while, we can go eat after the opening ceremony is over."

In contrast, Midorima seemed much calmer. He still had no expression on his face and seemed to be unaffected. He only occasionally raised his hand to look at his watch, or adjusted his sitting posture, but always maintained an almost indifferent concentration.

"Everyone should cheer up, we will play the game later." May said with concern.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after thirty minutes, this long opening ceremony finally came to an end.

Qingfeng looked like he had lost all hope in life, and he weakly muttered, "What a waste of time! Listening to this boring opening speech is even more torturous than accepting Coach Shirogane's cruel training!" Several other people nodded in agreement with Qingfeng's point of view.

However, just as the opening ceremony was over, Murasakibara couldn't wait to take out the delicious stick from his bag, and then chewed it like a starving ghost, making a crisp and loud "crunch, crunch" sound.

"Okay, everyone get ready, our game is about to start!" As Shirogane Kozo's sonorous voice sounded, his originally relaxed and easy-going face instantly became extremely serious and solemn.

At this moment, Bai Ze and other team members also knew that this game was of great significance to them - this was not only an important moment for them as freshmen to participate in the national competition for the first time, but also a great opportunity to prove their strength and value. Therefore, after hearing the head coach's encouragement full of expectation and trust, everyone immediately became very excited and secretly made up their minds: in this game, we must fight hard and win the final victory no matter what!

Then, all the players walked into the spacious and bright locker room of Teiko Junior High School with firm steps. They quickly changed into Teiko jerseys representing the honor of the school and prepared to defeat the opponent.

"The opponent of the first game is Aoba Junior High School. Their overall strength is relatively weak, but we must not underestimate the enemy. I hope everyone can go all out and win this victory with absolute advantage." Shirogane Kozo looked at every player in front of him with a sharp gaze, especially those freshmen who were just starting out. His expression was extremely serious.

At this moment, the captain Nijimura stood up first without hesitation. He waved his fist passionately and shouted loudly in an excited voice: "Let's go and take down Aoba!"

This sentence seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of all the players deep in their hearts. They responded in unison: "Hi!" The sound resounded through the sky, magnificent and imposing.

At this time, the players of Teiko slowly walked out of the player tunnel. The entire stadium was crowded and full of people. When the audience saw the figures of Teiko players, thunderous cheers instantly broke out.

"Look! The team of Teiko Junior High School is here!"

"Wow, sisters, look at that white-haired boy, he is so handsome!"

"Oh my God, I am completely conquered!"

"Look over there, that is Nijimura Shuzo, the strongest power forward in junior high school!"

"Hey, are those five players with different and colorful hairstyles new? I don't think I have seen them before!"

People talked about it, their eyes were fixed on these basketball boys wearing Teiko uniforms, their eyes were full of expectation and excitement. The atmosphere was warm and unusual.

Often, as if to burn the entire gymnasium to ashes.

"Oh my god, how can there be so many people!" Qingfeng felt his scalp tingling. He widened his eyes and looked at the dense crowd in front of him, surging like a tide. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable tension in his heart. After all, for a rookie who has just started, such a spectacular scene is too shocking.

Not only Qingfeng, but other first-year freshmen also felt this huge pressure to a greater or lesser extent. They stood there, looking around somewhat at a loss, with uneasy expressions on their faces.

However, in sharp contrast to others, Bai Ze seemed unusually calm and composed. Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of nervousness, but he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Haha, I'm back to the familiar arena again! It's so exciting!" Bai Ze smiled, with confidence and expectation flashing in his eyes. He raised his head slightly and felt the warm atmosphere around him. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a real warrior, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

However, when Bai Ze saw the number of spectators on the scene, he couldn't help but shook his head gently: "Alas, the population of the island country is just so small, and there are not so many people coming to watch the game. Compared with the grand events I experienced in my previous life, it is simply a small witch compared to a big witch." At this point, the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc.

"Oh, don't be nervous! It's just a small game~ Everyone just needs to spend a little time to feel the atmosphere of the scene, and you will soon be able to adapt! Okay, okay, get ready, it's our turn to go on stage! If it doesn't work at that time, I will let those guys from Nijimura go on stage!" Shirogane Kozo had a gentle smile on his face and said to Bai Ze and others in a gentle tone, trying to relax them.

However, when he saw the bodies of the people in front of him trembling slightly involuntarily, he knew that his comfort did not work. But he also understood that this is a stage that everyone must go through on the road of growth.

"Aze, are you nervous?" Wu Yue handed a bottle of water to Bai Ze. She showed some nervousness on her face, but she still had a faint smile on her lips when facing Bai Ze.

Bai Ze smiled at Wu Yue and tried to relax her: "Don't worry, I'm not nervous at all. But you, why do you look more nervous than me?"

He reached out and gently took the bottle of mineral water handed by Wu Yue. At the same time, he noticed that Wu Yue had her hands clasped in front of her chest. Her originally round and cute little face looked a little tight because of nervousness.

"The main reason is that there are too many spectators here. I'm a little worried that you will be affected by being too nervous." Wu Yue puffed up her cheeks, and her big watery eyes flashed with worry.

Bai Ze couldn't help laughing. He patted Wu Yue's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, Wu Yue, I'm here! We can do it!"

When he said this, Bai Ze's eyes were extremely firm. He clenched his fists tightly, as if conveying an invisible power and confidence to Wu Yue.

May felt Bai Ze's encouragement, and she also clenched her fists like Bai Ze, nodded and said, "Well, I believe you, come on!"

At this moment, May's mood seemed to calm down a little, and her eyes always stayed on Bai Ze, with trust and expectation in her eyes.

"Beep!" The sharp and piercing whistle resounded throughout the basketball hall, as if a sword pierced the noisy air. The cheers and shouts of the audience were instantly drowned in this tense and exciting atmosphere.

Standing on the sidelines, Bai Ze took a deep breath, then turned his head with a smile and shouted to the players behind him: "It's time to play, everyone!" His voice was clear and loud, full of confidence and encouragement.

Everyone walked onto the court with firm and powerful steps.

Qingye's players came on the court and looked at Bai Ze and others, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Damn it! Teikou Junior High School actually despised us so much! They only sent a group of freshmen to fight!" The captain of the Aoba team, the core player who also served as a small forward, roared angrily. His voice echoed on the court, and other players echoed him.

"That's right, damn it! They are simply insulting us!" The point guard of the Aoba team also clenched his teeth, with anger flashing in his eyes. At this moment, he wanted to rush forward immediately and beat the opponent to a pulp.

Every player of the Aoba team stared at Bai Ze and other opponents, revealing endless hostility in their eyes.

The atmosphere of the whole scene was so tense that

The team reached a climax, and a fierce match was about to begin.

"Teiko's coach actually let these young guys become the regular players?"

"Look at their colorful hair, how can they play basketball? They are just a group of bad boys! Can they really win the game like this? I think we should go home early to avoid wasting time."

"That's right, these so-called newcomers may not even be able to hold the ball steadily. Can Teiko start as long as they have some talent?"

"I want to see if they can play well on the court later. Humph, wait to be abused!"

The audience talked about it in a flurry, with disdain and ridicule on their faces. They didn't think these young people dressed strangely had any strength at all, and even felt that the Teiko team was humiliating themselves by sending out such a lineup.

However, at this moment, a crisp whistle broke the noise on the scene. The game officially began...
