"Teiko Middle School...Teiko Middle School?"
When Jinguji Budo saw clearly which school the white team belonged to, he was immediately stunned. The next second, Budo's eyes hurriedly swept across the players of the white team on the field, looking at the black hair. He couldn't help but scratch his head and chuckled:
"It seems they have the same name, it's a coincidence."
As he spoke, Wu Dao's eyes inadvertently swept across the rest area opposite the stadium. Sitting in the white team's seating area, a group of young men with colorful hair instantly attracted Martial Arts' attention.
"???"
"...."
After a brief silence, Wu Dao raised his head and looked at the ceiling, sighing heavily.
Teikou Middle School, really Teikou Middle School...
"Hey, Martial Arts, you're here!"
"Why, isn't the junior high school student's game good to watch? His performance is poor? He's lamenting."
At this moment, Wu Dao was tapped on the shoulder, and a familiar voice came from Wu Dao's side. Wu Dao did not look back. He stared at the "killers" on the sidelines and asked:
"Mitsui, how long have you been here?"
"Did those kids in the rest area of Teikou Middle School play? How was the fight?"
After hearing this, Mitsui Shou also followed the martial arts gaze and looked towards the white team's rest area, and then shook his head:
"Not long after I came, I went to the toilet during the last class and escaped early."
"The substitutes from Teikou Middle School you mentioned have probably never played."
"It hasn't been long since the game started."
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Hisashi Mitsui pointed to the scoreboard on the opposite side of the court. The score between the white team and the blue team is now 9:13, and the blue team has a 4-point lead. The offensive and defensive rhythm of junior high school students is slower, and the offensive efficiency is far less than that of high school students. But even so, the score of 9:13 proves that the game has just begun.
"It's not a problem. I just want to know the upper limit of high school basketball. It's not just me now."
"By the way, aren't we going to train today? How come a competition for junior high school students comes to our Xiangbei?"
"Besides, it should be a practice match. There are still more than two months before IH."
Hisashi Mitsui felt a little confused after hearing Budo's answer, but he didn't take it to heart. When Budo asked about the team's training, he immediately explained:
"I was only informed about this by Coach Anxi in the afternoon."
"The venue is being lent to Mingshan Middle School. Their own stadium is being renovated, but they need a closer venue to play practice matches."
"I heard that Diguang is relatively far away, and there is no school bus in Mingshan, so the practice match was held in our Xiangbei."
"Coach Anxi and the coach from Mingshan are old acquaintances."
After hearing this, Budo nodded silently. In fact, he was not curious at all about why the junior high school students' games were played in Xiangbei High School. What he was most curious about now was why those boys from Teiko Middle School were able to appear in front of him. !
Moreover, Martial Arts also wants to know what the level of these boys’ skills is!
"If I'm playing fantasy basketball, I think I'd better quit the club as soon as possible and take some money to go back to China and speculate in real estate."
Just when Wu Dao felt guilty, there were changes in the court.
"Peng!"
With a muffled sound, the referee's whistle blew. On the court, while the blue team's insider was defending, he slapped a white team player to the ground who was trying to hit the basket. The white team player who fell to the ground came into close contact with the floor and could not stand up for a long time. It seemed that he was injured.
The game has entered the official timeout. In order to avoid further conflicts between the players of the two teams, the referee ordered the players of the two teams to return to their respective rest areas, leaving only the referee and the coaches of the two teams to check on the injured players.
However, Teikou's coach didn't seem to be present. The person who went to check on the injury was the manager of their basketball department, known as Director Sanada.
"Nijimura repairs it, let Akashi, Aomine and the others get ready to go on stage!"
"I originally wanted to save some face for the other party, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary!"
The injury of the injured player was not serious. It didn't take long for the player to stand up from the floor on his own. However, Director Sanada obviously had no intention of sending him on to continue the game. After returning to the dugout, he notified the team captain. , made substitution adjustments.
And his substitutions are not just one or two substitutions, but five down and five up.
"Yes!" Following Hongcun Shuzo's reply, five teenagers with different hair colors stood up in the rest area of Teiko Middle School. And these five people instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding students.
Not because of anything else, just because of hair color.
"Hoho~ Junior high school students nowadays are really very unique! All of them have bright hair colors!"
"Di Guang is a private company, right? The management is very open and open, unlike us in Xiangbei..."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't we also have a red-haired person in Xiangbei?"
"But...that red-haired junior high school student is really short! Can such a person also play basketball?"
"Hey, if you say so, the white-haired one is the same. He's very short."
The chatter from the surrounding audience fell on the ears of the five people who were about to take the stage, and one of the two short men being talked about was the current freshman at Teiko Middle School, Akashi Sei with the same hair color as Sakuragi. Juro, and another player with silver-white hair, named Kuroko Tetsuya.
First grader Akashi Seijuro is only 157cm tall, and Kuroko Tetsuya is only 155cm tall. Compared to the other three teammates around him, he is obviously shorter.
Also in the first grade of junior high school, Aomine Daiki who plays the power forward position is 175cm tall. Midorima Shintaro is also 174cm tall. As for the center position, Murasakihara Atsushi is 186cm tall. Compared with the junior high school god Miyaji Martial Arts is no less generous.
Standing next to these teammates, Akashi Seijuro and Kuroko really looked short.
"Let's go on the field and bring victory back to Diguang."
The discussions among the Shohoku high school students around him were not disguised at all, and their words were full of doubts about Akashi. Akashi, who was the focus of the discussion, had a calm expression on his face. He even clapped his hands and spoke gently to his teammates. As for Kuroko Tetsuya, he maintained a poker face with no expression.
"Well said, Akashi!"
"Akaashi, don't worry, let those ignorant high school students see your strength!"
"Let them know that you don't have to be tall to be good at basketball!"
When several Teiko players were getting ready to play, Supervisor Sanada walked up to Akashi, patted Akashi on the shoulder, and encouraged him with a smile.
When Akashi heard this, he nodded slightly, and then walked into the stadium with all the team members. His expression was indifferent, as if he didn't pay attention to the comments of the people around him. Heizi followed the team silently and walked into the stadium.
"The white team's No. 9 has a very good attitude."
"He's just a junior high school student. He was able to remain calm under such pressure and didn't show any nervousness."
"Even if he's just calm on the surface, it's already very impressive."
Mitsui Hisashi was attracted by the calm Akashi Seijuro. He was very surprised by Akashi Dansada's performance. Similarly, Mitsui also took some interest in this player who had just entered the court and was visually not more than 160cm tall. As for Heizi, he subconsciously ignored it.
There was really no way for a weak and lackluster little boy to attract Mitsui Shou's attention.
"Emperor's light..."
"Let me see how these junior high school students play."
Budo sighed in his heart, and his eyes fell on the stadium. Unlike Hisashi Mitsui, Budo's eyes only glanced at Akashi, and then looked at Murasakihara Atsushi, Aomine Daiki and Midorima Shintaro.
The upper limit that Di Guang, a team of junior high school students, can reach depends on the performance of these three people.
Soon, the official pause was over.
Teiko's substitution was also approved by the referee, and the players from both teams returned to the court.
Since one of Teikou's players was injured and unable to continue the game, the execution of the free throws was left to Aomine Daiki.
Aomine Daiki, who took the free throw, easily completed two free throws, 2 of 2, bringing the score between the two teams to 11:13. His shooting touch seems extremely soft, his entire shooting posture is quite standard, and the traces of training are very obvious.
Standard shooting posture is often an intuitive performance to determine whether a player can play ball. There are very few people who have standard shooting posture and accurate free throws but can't play basketball.
"Hey, this basketball player's shooting looks good, much better than some of our substitutes in Xiangbei."
Mitsui Hisashi touched his chin and commented.
On the court, Mingshan Middle School has begun to launch an attack. Mingshan's players are generally around 175cm tall. Even the center is in this height range. It seems that there are no such strong players.
In the county, Mingshan is also an ordinary middle school with a low reputation. At least, this is the first time Martial Arts has heard of this school.
Not long after, the Akashi players entered the frontcourt with the ball. However, just after halftime, Akashi Seijuro of Teikou Middle School immediately defended him. Although he was not tall, Akashi was agile and the opponent's player only had one possession of the ball. After the illusion, he was ready to break through. However, when people passed by, the ball stayed in place and was broken by Akashi.
A beautiful steal made the noisy arena suddenly quiet.
Akashi picked up the ball, quickly bypassed Mingshan's players, and ran towards the frontcourt at high speed. While he started the fast break, the rest of Teikou's players also ran towards the frontcourt quickly.
Teikou Middle School's transition between offense and defense was extremely fast. The steal had just appeared here, and Aomine and others had already caught up with him. Aomine's running speed without the ball was also quite fast, and he quickly passed Akashi and took the lead in the front. field.
Aomine, who quickly ran to the basket, also directly received Akashi's pass, went straight to the layup and hit the ball into the basket.
A beautiful defensive counterattack immediately tied the two teams at 13:13.
"The stealing action is very beautiful! There are shadows of Miyagi."
"The speed of running with the ball is also pretty good, which is considered excellent among junior high school students."
“The rest of the team’s follow-up was also timely.”
"On the other hand, Mingshan's return to defense speed is a bit slow."
"Di Guang's substitute team is stronger than the starting lineup just now! It looks like they are the main force!"
Mitsui Shou smiled and praised, although it was just a ball, Mitsui Shou saw a lot from Teiko's team.
"Captain, how can you be like me..."
"This is because the opponent is too weak and does not protect the ball when dribbling. The foundation is too poor!"
Just when Mitsui Hisashi was praising Akaashi, Miyagi Ryota came to the side of Budo and Mitsui Hisashi at some point. He looked at Akashi who was returning to defense in the field and said with a pursed lips.
"Young, Miyagi."
"How about it? Is this junior high school student pretty good? Doesn't he look like you? Why does he look similar to me?"
Mitsui Shou saw Miyagi, smiled and waved, and then joked.
"I don't just know how to tackle."
Miyagi retorted casually, but after the words fell, he also looked at Akashi in the field.
After Teiko Middle School was replaced, the strength gap between the two teams became huge. With Akashi and Kuroko in tandem, the basketball ran quite smoothly in Teiko's hands.
Atsushi Murasakihara is quite dominant on both offense and defense at the basket. His height and jumping are not weak. After getting the ball, if no one is guarding him, he can avoid dunking.
And Aomine Daiki's personal ability is also quite good, he has a lot of offensive methods, he is very skilled in breakthroughs and mid-range shots, and his footwork is also remarkable, much better than the average junior high school student.
When it comes to martial arts, Aomine Daiki's personal ability is not far behind that of Rukawa Kaede, who first entered Takeshi Middle School.
Even the playing styles are very similar, but compared to Rukawa Kaede, Aomine Daiki is more arrogant. When on the court, the game state is more open, and after just a few balls, he has become became the focus of the audience.
In addition to these two people, Heizizhe's elusive passing on the court is also very eye-catching, and he frequently makes beautiful passes.
Martial Arts didn't know if their Teiko opponents would be able to notice Kuroko Tetsuya's movement. Anyway, several of their people off the field could still clearly capture Kuroko's figure.
After all, he is a person who can frequently send wonderful passes. No matter how bright the sun Aomine Daiki is, he cannot completely make Kuroko invisible. In the eyes of Budo, Kuroko's presence is even stronger than that of Akashi and Midorima. Budo also wants to know how his so-called sight induction works on the field.
Soon, thanks to the efforts of the Teiko team members, Mingshan Middle School began to collapse. On both offense and defense, Mingshan Middle School was completely defeated by Diguang and was no match for the other side.
By the end of the second half, the point difference between the two teams had widened to 50 points, and the difference in strength was evident.
The crushing match did not make the spectators lose their enthusiasm. Teimitsu's exquisite coordination and the personal abilities of Aomine, Murasakihara Atsushi and Midorima all left a deep impression on the spectators.
Generally speaking, the strength shown by the members of Teikou Middle School is pretty good, but they have not exceeded the understanding of martial arts. In the final analysis, they are only at the level of junior high school students.
As the game progressed, a circle of players from Shohoku High School also surrounded Jinguji Budō and Hisashi Mitsui who were watching the game on the sidelines.
"A junior high school student is a junior high school student...this boring competition is finally over."
As the final whistle sounded, Sakuragi Hanamichi took out his earwax. After the players from both teams left the field, Sakuragi took off his coat and walked into the stadium.
"The game is over, it's time for us to start practicing!"
"I have wasted so much time, so I have to make up for it."
Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't wait to walk into the stadium, and everyone in Teikou who had just walked off the field also saw Sakuragi Hanamichi, and their eyes focused on Sakuragi.
"Is that person...a member of Shohoku High School?"
"Those on the sidelines...are all members of Xiangbei!"
