The team practice match of Xiangbei High School is over. Under the leadership of Sanada's supervision, the team members of Diguang Middle School stepped on the afterglow on the ground and walked towards the outside of the Xiangbei campus.

On the way from the Xiangbei Stadium to the gate of Xiangbei School, all the Diguang players lowered their heads and looked pensive, and Superintendent Sanada could also understand the mood of the players at this time, and did not say anything to persuade them.

A group of young people who grew up in praise suddenly saw the sky outside the well, and it was normal for them to have a gap in their hearts.

The group walked to the gate of Xiangbei, and Superintendent Sanada left the team to contact the school bus.

"That's how the top high school students in the country used to play...."

"We, sure enough, are still far away!" Akaji stood at the gate of the campus in Xiangbei, looking back at the direction of the stadium in Xiangbei school, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

The intra-team practice match at Xiangbei High School was a crushing game. Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, who couldn't find them in the north, were completely blown up by the senior students in Xiangbei.

The disparity in strength made Akaji doubt his choice, and he didn't know whether he should continue on this basketball path.

"I'm going to be that level one day!"

"Not only that, but I'm going to be stronger than those people!" Daiki Aomine's expression was determined, and unlike Akaji, after watching this game, his love for basketball deepened.

"Impossible~Impossible~"

"Aomine, you can't do it." Ziyuan threw potato chips into his mouth, waved his hand and laughed. He and Aomine are two extremes, this kid doesn't have a deep affection for basketball, and he scoffs at the distant goals that Aomine has set for himself.

Aomine Daiki's face showed a slightly unhappy look, and before he could attack, Kuroko patted Aomine Daiki's arm and comforted: "Aomine, I believe you will definitely be able to become a top player!" ”

"And I, on the other hand, will be your shadow and help you reach a higher level!" Kuroko's words made Aomine Daiki's expression slightly gloomy, and he was excited to fist with Kuroko.

"Well, definitely!" However, such an atmosphere full of emotion was broken by sudden words.

"Junior, if you're really just going to be the shadow of a strong man, I don't think you'd better play basketball." While the people of Diguang and others were waiting for the school bus, Jinguji Martial Arts, who had just finished training, appeared at the school gate with a sports backpack on his back.

Unfortunately, he also heard the conversation between Daiki Aomine and Kuroko. Akaji and the others turned their heads when they heard this, and saw clearly that the person who came was actually the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and the words that they originally wanted to scold were forced back into their stomachs, and they turned to a chorus of greetings: "Seniors of Jinguji Temple!" Aomine and Kuroko didn't bow and say hello, and the two looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in a daze, as if they were wondering why Martial Arts said those sharp words just now.

"Jinguji senior, I'm a member of the Teiko Middle School, called Kuroko Tetsuya."

"I don't know what I just said, what's the problem? As the shadow of a strong man, why can't he play basketball? ”

"I know that your strength is very strong, and you are the ace of Xiangbei High School, but even so, you can't deny my basketball." Although Kuroko looks soft and weak, there is something he insists on in his heart.

His love for basketball is no weaker than Daiki Aomine. Kuroko also clearly knows that his physical condition is not as good as that of Aomine Daiki, but he is also eager to stand on the court.

By passing, assisting his teammates to attack, and playing like a shadow, is the capital he relies on to survive.

But all this .... But it was denied by the martial arts of Jinguji Temple.

"Kuroko Tetsuya...."Martial Arts pretended to hear the name for the first time, and repeated it softly, as if he had just met Kuroko, and then looked at Kuroko and continued: "Kuroko Tetsuya is too." ”

"There's no way your basketball can help your teammates grow."

"Instead, you'll be a shackle to your teammates' growth."

"The improvement of strength is a very personal thing, on the basketball court, 1+1 may really be greater than 2."

"But.... 1+1 is no better than 2+2 anyway. ”

"Kuroko-san, I'll call you that."

"Your basketball talent..... Well... Very out of the way. ”

"But if you only tap into your conduction ability, I think soon, you won't be able to stay on the pitch." Jinguji Martial Arts is not good or bad for Kuroko's feelings, and for a young man who loves basketball, Martial Arts doesn't mind mentioning a little bit.

Does Kuroko Tetsu also have basketball talent? Just looking at physical fitness, it may be true. He is short, not fast, and not strong enough to play basketball.

However, Kuroko's vision, overall view, and passing spirituality are real. This is something that Wu Dao did see in the warm-up matches before.

These are the valuable qualities of a good player.

"Jinguji senior.... What do you mean?! "Akaji's brain turned much faster than Kuroko, and he immediately heard the meaning of martial arts.

Kuroko's current style of play is the result of his advice, and it may be that Akaji knows himself better than Kuroko.

"Dribble, shoot, pass."

"The combination of the three is the standard for a defender."

"You can not be masterful, but you can't not be at all."

"You're very good passing, you're spiritual, you're very open, you're very accurate on the pitch, and on that basis, if you have the ability to attack on your own, your role will be different." Martial arts' words silenced Akaji, he thought that martial arts would have a different opinion on Kuroko, but he didn't expect that it was still the traditional set of standards.

Autonomous offense?! Kuroko lives on the thin presence on the court, and once he starts attacking, that thin presence disappears.

And Kuroko's offensive skills, that's really hard to describe..... If connected

The feature of "thin presence" is gone, and Akaji really can't figure out why Kuroko is standing on the court.

Takemichi observed Akaji's expression and instantly knew what he was thinking, but Takedo didn't care.

Akaji had already set an upper limit for Kuroko in his heart, and he felt that if he broke through this upper limit, Kuroko would be useless, but Martial Arts didn't feel it.

Who said .... If someone defends, you can't send a subtle pass?!

"Kuroko-san, you should be the kind of person who dribbles poorly, moves slowly, and shoots without accuracy, right?"

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a way of playing."

"However, what I want to say is that you are still young, and in the end, you are just a middle school student."

"Don't set an upper limit for yourself early, dribbling, shooting, and breaking through can all be practiced, I see that when you play, the coordination is good, and when you play the ball, you can also see that the feel should be soft."

"Take some time, you can practice."

"Expand your arsenal while strengthening your passing."

"You have to work harder than your teammates to keep up with them."

"The world of basketball is cruel, and talent is really important."

"The talent can't catch up, if you don't work hard, you can only be thrown off by your teammates and defeated by your opponents!"

"Giving accurate passes under high pressure and being able to take advantage of opportunities when the opponent makes mistakes."

"I think you should be able to do that.... Kuroko-san. In the end, Martial Arts had already walked in front of Kuroko Tetsuya, lowered his head, and looked at Kuroko Tetsuya.

Kuroko also tilted his head and looked at this whole body full of writing

The "gifted" high school seniors have a name surging in their eyes

The mood of "anticipation". Kuroko fell into the scene that Martial Arts had painted for him.

"If only I could do it.... I should be able to give Aomine them, a bigger boost...."Martial Arts read Kuroko's emotions from his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to leave.

"Come on..... Basketball Junior. Wu Dao waved his hand, bathed in the setting sun, and slowly disappeared at the end of the road, disappearing into the eyes of Kuroko and the others.

Not long after the martial arts of Jinguji Temple left, Sakuragi Hanamichi hurriedly ran to the gate of the school, looked left and right to see that he did not see the figure of martial arts, and asked the junior high school students, "Hey! Have you ever seen a tall and handsome guy coming out of Xiangbei? Where are you going? Kuroko is immersed in his own world, if he doesn't return to Sakuragi Hanamichi, Akaji looked at Sakuragi, pointed in the direction where Martial Arts left, his eyes also returned to Kuroko, and after thinking about it, he was about to speak, but Sakuragi interrupted: "Junijuni, you guys are playing pretty well." ”

"That little ghost, your passing is not bad, better than that idiot in Kiyota!" Sakuragi Hanamichi noticed the stunned Kuroko, patted Kuroko on the shoulder, and then quickly ran in the direction where Takemichi left.

Sakuragi's words brought Kuroko's thoughts back. When Akaji heard this, he also swallowed back what he wanted to say, looked at the direction in which Jinguji Martial Arts and Sakuragi left, and sighed in his heart: "Forget it.... Let Kuroko decide for herself. Perhaps, Jinguji seniors saw farther than me. ”..... The sudden appearance of everyone in Diguang Middle School is just a little more colorful to the boring high school life of Jinguji Martial Arts for Jinguji Martial Arts.

After that day, the life of Jinguji Martial Arts returned to calm again, repeating the life of three points and one line.

Home, school, Fujima house. Compared with martial arts, Sakuragi Hanamichi's high school life is far more colorful than in junior high school, not because of the relationship between him and now playing basketball, but simply because Xiangbei High School not only has Haruko, but also Rukawa Kaede

"Nemesis". Sakuragi slept in class, thought about Haruko in his head, and went to the stadium after school to show himself in front of Haruko

"Strength" is like a peacock with the screen open. In addition, you can also mix with Yohei and Kiyota, and life is a fulfilling and rich life.

And this calm and peaceful campus life has also been completely broken with the approach of the county competition. ...

"Dangdang Dang!!"

"This is the battle table for the county competition!"

"Due to last year's results in Xiangbei, we have byes in the first few rounds of this year."

"Only in 8-4 games, there will be games!"

"As long as you qualify for the semi-finals, you will be considered to have half a foot in the national competition."

"After that, it's a round-robin tournament for the top four teams, and the top two in the top four will be able to qualify and represent Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition!" In the stadium in Xiangbei, Ayako posted a big battle table in the stadium

On the "information wall", the new students are popularized with the competition system of the national competition. The senior students have all experienced the prefectural competition, and Ayako's explanation is mainly just to let the freshmen have a basic understanding of the prefectural competition.

After so many days of Taoguang recuperation, the county competition is finally coming, and the first-year students heard the news, and all of them showed excited smiles on their faces, especially the first-year who had just been promoted to the main selection by Coach Anzai not long ago, Oda Ryumasa, was particularly excited.

"Prefectural contest! It's finally here. ”

"I've got to prove myself in the ring!" Today's Oda Ryumasa is not plagued by injuries, and the training of Xiangbei High School has also brought him a lot of help, compared with the middle school period, Oda Ryumasa's personal strength has made great progress, and the whole person seems to be full of confidence.

"Hahahaha, I'm finally able to show my strength on a bigger stage today!"

"Haruko, I won't let you down~" Sakuragi Hanamichi just glanced at the battle table in a hurry, and then glanced at Haruko not far away, revealing a bright smile, and the silly Haruko saw Sakuragi Hanamichi smiling at her, and also beckoned and said hello.

Don't look at the frequent interaction between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko, but as far as Martial Arts knows, there is no substantial progress between Sakuragi and Haruko.

Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed to be hurt too hard when he was in middle school, but he just released his love and didn't dare to take that step.

Haruko is also a sluggish person, although she has a faint feeling, but she has not pierced the layer of window paper.

The hazy admiration of adolescent boys and girls makes Takako Fujima this

The "passerover" was quite anxious. Unlike them, Takemichi and Takako Fujima are progressing much faster, but there is a little bit like Sakuragi, there is a layer that has not been punctured, but it is not window paper.

... The opening ceremony of the prefectural tournament was held at the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium. After the opening ceremony, the qualifiers for the county competition began, and Coach Anxi led the people in Xiangbei to watch the two games in the morning, and then left with the players.

There are several rounds of knockout before the 8-in-4 match. As the qualifying team of the previous year, Xiangbei High School has also become a challenged role in this county competition.

It's just that those challengers need to go through some battles to come to Xiangbei.

Coach Anthy is very clear about the strength of his team, and in the first few rounds of the game, he simply did not waste time taking the players to watch the game.

However, the training in Xiangbei has also been reduced in intensity with the beginning of the county competition qualifiers, except for some team warm-up games to maintain the competitive state of the players, Coach Anxi did not arrange any high-intensity training.

More often, it is to talk about tactics to the players, split tactics, and do some simple drills. And when Xiangbei came to Kanagawa Prefectural Stadium for the second time this year, it was already an 8-in-4 game.

Their opponent in this match is Miuradai, who broke through to the quarterfinals. ... In the stadium, the cleaners quickly cleaned the floor and made preparations before the game.

In the rest area on both sides of the court, the players from Xiangbei and Miuratai have changed into their game clothes and made the final adjustments before the game.

In today's game, the entire stadium was full of spectators, obviously it was only an 8-in-4 game, and the number of spectators was more than the previous game, I don't know how much.

"Today's game..."

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga, Oda Ryumasa, Nango Koichiro."

"It's up to the five of you, as starters, to play." In the Xiangbei rest area, Coach Anzai stood up and said to Sakuragi and the others, who had already changed their jerseys.

And on the other side of the rest area, Jinguji Takemichi and Mitsui Shou and the others sat together, looking at Sakuragi and the others who were standing in front of Coach Anzai.

Unlike Sakuragi, Takemichi and Mitsui Shou are a few old starters, not to mention warming up and changing jerseys.

They didn't even take off their team uniforms, and they didn't mean to play at all. Coach Anzai plans to use a team of all first-year students to help Xiangbei High School reach the semi-finals!
