Akashi fell.
Lost consciousness due to excessive consumption of mental energy
He did not stand up within the time specified by the referee. Logically speaking, Nash should have won this time.
but.
"What? Echizen Ryuya hasn't arrived yet?"
"What a joke! What the hell is he doing?!"
"I heard it will take about ten minutes to get to the stadium. If we continue playing No. 2 singles, it should be about the same time."
"This place is only a few minutes away from the platform, but it is impossible to arrange for the No. 1 singles match to start immediately."
Jabberwock's sponsors and advertisers are embroiled in a bitter feud.
This time, it didn't matter if something went wrong during the game, it was so thrilling.
"Damn it! Guy Nash, why don't you waste more time."
"Obviously according to the previous play style, just ten minutes is not a casual delay."
They were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they had agreed with the Neon operator before the game that there would be no substitutes, which made this matter a bit embarrassing now.
They themselves did not expect such a development.
Neon's junior high school students are so strong that they can actually force the Jabberwock team to this point.
Although it is not the best configuration of the entire team, how can the Australian brothers, Thibo and Nash play so mysteriously?
"Let's do this! Let Neon send someone else to help the boy who fell unconscious and continue beating him."
"Let Nash delay a little longer this time. Ten minutes will pass in a flash."
"I'll go discuss it with the competition operator!"
"For Echizen Ryuya's game, the slogans were specially created and played for him. How could he let things slip at such a critical moment?"
It seemed that the atmosphere was getting warmer, and the group of formally dressed people were talking among themselves.
…………
"Nash, the sponsor's opinion seems to be that you should continue to play. They want Neon to send another junior high school student to continue playing in this unfinished game."
"What?"
"Because Echizen Ryuya didn't arrive, I have to let you continue going up to stall for time."
Sitting on the chair, Nash heard the news in his ears and suddenly became excited.
Normally, he might not have any dissatisfaction, he would just feel that this is the way it should be.
But the fight with Akashi just now was fruitful, and it came to an abrupt end. He was in a bad mood.
So he stood up, grabbed the summoner's collar with his hands, looked at him condescendingly, and glared at him with ferocious eyes.
"Hey! Stop it, Nash!"
Knowing that he was in a bad mood now, Xibo quickly walked over to stop him.
Don't make a joke at this time, otherwise something will happen to Jabberwock.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, that guy fell down anyway."
"After all, I won, no matter what little tricks he uses later."
"That kind of kid is nothing to be afraid of. He looks intimidating. That's it. He's so weak."
"Not many junior high school students in Neon can last until the end of the game. It's really disappointing."
After releasing his grip, Nash seemed to adjust his mentality, and then his tone was calm.
As if to give him the comfort he was looking for, his words were full of arrogance.
"asshole!"
"How dare he say that!"
Even though they were far away, Kagami and Aomine heard his loud words, and their anger and blood surged up in an instant.
"Obviously he can't beat him at all! Still talking tough!"
Kikumaru was furious and dissatisfied with what Nash said.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Akashi really has the upper hand.
"Shirazu.?"
Midorima wanted to say something, but he suddenly found someone staring at Nash.
Looking at someone who looked calm in silence, but whose eyes were angry, Midorima felt his amazing aura.
If Nash said anything else, Bai Jin wouldn't care, but if Nash thinks Akashi lost to him and belittles him, then Bai Jin will have a good talk about "fists" with him.
"They allowed us to substitute Akaashi to continue playing in this No. 2 singles game, but they did not allow forfeiture."
Coach Sakaki and Osamu Watanabe walked out from the side, then spoke calmly, and at the same time threw the choice to these young people.
"They are probably waiting for Ryuya Echizen to play No. 1."
"That's right. I overheard it. They said they'll be there in about ten minutes."
"According to the score of 4-4, if Nash thought about it, ten minutes would have passed easily."
Coach Sakaki and Osamu Watanabe didn't mind telling each other's purpose.
"Coach, where is Neon's flight from the United States today?"
After asking a question that had nothing to do with the game, Shirazu looked up at Coach Sakaki.
"The first batch arrived at Tokyo Airport."
"If there are still ten minutes left, according to the time of the event, Echizen Ryuya should be taking the Shinkansen to Kansai, and he will be entering the station soon."
The one who answered him was not Coach Sakaki, but Atobe who was sitting on the chair.
Although he didn't know why Shirazu asked, Atobe still answered thoughtfully.
It can only be said that the uncle is still very friendly to his peers.
"Yeah?"
"Then let me end the game."
"It just so happens that I also want to teach Nash a lesson."
Picking up the racket, Bai Jin did not ask other people's opinions, but said with an emotion he had never felt before.
"Then go!"
They did not question Shirazu's choice. Coach Sakaki and Osamu Watanabe did not invest in this game anyway. The outcome of the game has nothing to do with them or the Neon operator.
If something unexpected happens, it's Jabberwock's sponsors and advertisers who should be worried.
"It's the first time I've seen such Xiao Baijin"
"That guy has never been angry."
"Hmph, this bastard Nash dares to say that. I would be very angry too."
Everyone else silently watched Bai Jin prepare to go on stage and communicated at the same time.
"Huh? Can I still change someone?"
Ryoma on the stage looked at Bai Jin who was walking up and asked strangely.
"Who knows, maybe those unscrupulous sponsors are worried."
Scratching his chest, Nanjiro didn't care about this kind of thing. He had seen many similar situations in the past when he was working professionally.
“Singles number one is”
"I see."
Immediately, Ryoma glanced at the advertising slogan on the screen, and when he saw Long Ya's photo, he immediately understood.
If Long Ya was going to compete today, he would have been preparing yesterday, but Jabberwock did not see him in his seat.
That is to say
Did that idiot brother still stay in the United States before and is he still on his way here this morning?
(Even being late for this kind of competition is really far from it.)
I really don’t know what he is doing, he will even miss the game. Ryoma is very contemptuous.
"By the way, Dad, you said before that this guy is the most powerful junior high school student in neon, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"How powerful is he?"
"Can't you watch it yourself? He's already playing anyway."
"Hey! It won't do anything if you tell me."
