Chapter 192: Want to Beat the Generation of Miracles into the Unchampioned Five Generals!
"Eh?"
"Could it be him?"
"That's right! That hair—it's definitely Yukimiya Kazuma from Bai Shui!"
"He actually came to Izumitama, instead of going to those stronger schools with better records?"
"Our Izumitama is a powerhouse too!"
"But we have no results in the National Tournament, do we?"
The murmurs around them made Long Tian Zhang's teeth ache, yet as more and more people recognized Yukimiya Kazuma, no one dared approach; after all, the circle of people around Yukimiya Kazuma looked terrifying.
Especially one fellow with an arrogant expression, who clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.
And Long Tian Zhang, the one everyone considered tough to deal with, suddenly looked at Yukimiya Kazuma with a grim expression; after the other exchanged pleasantries with Tsuchiya Dahe, he frowned and said, "You, the runner-up... you've grown quite a bit taller. Your movements haven't gotten stiff, and you can't run anymore, have you?"
Tsuchiya Dahe smiled and nodded, "Indeed. Before coming, I was worried too; I've grown 5 centimeters taller, and I was afraid high school would make me play center..."
"Playing center is something I absolutely can't do. Seeing Yukimiya grow so tall, I'm relieved~"
Long Tian Zhang, who had only grown 2 centimeters since middle school, froze; he glanced left and right, and among everyone present, he was the shortest.
183 centimeters, the shortest...
Who can I complain to!
Damn it!
"Let me say this in advance: I only play shooting guard; I don't want to play point guard!" Long Tian Zhang immediately laid his cards on the table, wanting to secure the position he was best at first.
Upon hearing this, He Xiuyang's face stiffened.
He looked at Yukimiya Kazuma, who was 196 centimeters tall, then at Tsuchiya Dahe, also 196 centimeters tall, then at Dakou Longzhi, who was 189 centimeters tall, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
Among everyone present, the one with the worst All-Japan record was him; eliminated in the second round of the regional qualifiers by Yukimiya Kazuma. In fact, even without encountering Bai Shui, given the strength of their Zuo Jia Middle School, they wouldn't have reached the nationals anyway.
And the others...
Tsuchiya Dahe and Dakou Longzhi were the number-one seeds in their respective regions, the aces of national-level teams.
Even Long Tian Zhang was a core member of the number-three seed in the Tokyo region.
Can't compete...
Especially the forward line I want to play.
"Eh?"
"Wait!"
"Isn't Yukimiya a point guard?"
He Xiuyang suddenly remembered this point; he had been completely blinded by Yukimiya Kazuma's skyrocketing height.
Upon hearing this, the others also paused for a moment; everyone looked at He Xiuyang, then at Yukimiya Kazuma, lingering for several extra seconds on his height.
Long Tian Zhang's eyes widened, "What kind of joke is this?! Him? A guy who rounds up to two meters, playing point guard?"
Tsuchiya Dahe's mouth twitched as well; regarding whether Yukimiya retained his former passing and ball-handling abilities after his height skyrocketed, he had no doubts.
Back in middle school, it was fine; when the other drove the ball up the court, the visual impact wasn't that obvious.
Now, thinking about a 196-centimeter guy driving the ball up the court from the backcourt...
Good lord...
Terrifying.
Upon hearing this, Yukimiya Kazuma also smiled, suddenly interrupting the others' fantasies, "Let's just say, is it possible we first need to snatch the starting positions from the Izumitama seniors before even thinking about such things?"
Hearing Yukimiya Kazuma's words, Dakou Longzhi, who had been maintaining his idol persona, suddenly declared confidently, "Do we even need to snatch the starting positions? Although they're the so-called Kings of the West, Izumitama..."
"Heh~"
Yukimiya Kazuma glanced at Dakou Longzhi; this guy looked a bit unserious, but was actually quite reliable, clearly having investigated beforehand and understood Izumitama's outward strength but inner weakness.
The group gathered and moved forward; among the five people, the shortest was 183 centimeters, which caused the area they passed through to be completely cleared out.
Tsuchiya Dahe stood beside Yukimiya Kazuma.
Before seeing Yukimiya, the others had actually vaguely regarded Tsuchiya as the leader.
Long Tian Zhang was because he was defeated by Tsuchiya at the All-Japan tournament; He Xiuyang just followed the crowd; and Dakou Longzhi, it seemed, was also quite respectful of Tsuchiya Dahe.
Tsuchiya Dahe and Yukimiya Kazuma, both 196 centimeters tall, walked at the very front.
"Are we going straight to the gymnasium?" Yukimiya Kazuma asked.
To be honest, he really didn't understand the basketball club's procedures; in the past, Takehito Masaki handled all team matters.
"No..."
"Although I already spoke with the coach in advance, and he will be waiting for us at the gymnasium, the procedures cannot be disordered; we must first go to the basketball club's recruitment desk."
Soon, the group arrived at the basketball club's recruitment spot, and Yukimiya understood that Tsuchiya Dahe was referring to the rather ceremonial act of filling out the forms.
Without anyone needing to serve them, Tsuchiya Dahe skillfully took the membership application himself and began filling it out.
And the basketball club member responsible for recruitment, upon looking up, only felt a shadow loom over him, then his gaze met Yukimiya Kazuma's...
Wow!
So tall!
Eh?
The Unchampioned King of Bai Shui, Yukimiya Kazuma!
He's actually this tall?!
The second-year club member responsible for distributing the application forms looked completely bewildered.
Yukimiya Kazuma looked around; although the basketball club members here were all of decent height, they gave a very youthful impression; upon seeing them 'newcomers', they instinctively averted their gaze.
Filling out the application form in order, until finally...
'Goal'.
Yukimiya Kazuma thought it over, and in the end wrote down: 'I want to beat the Generation of Miracles and turn them into the Five Uncrowned Kings.'
The basketball club member beside him noticed what Yukimiya Kazuma had written, and an expression of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face.
The Five Uncrowned Kings — of course he knew who they were.
Ah.
Now 'the Five Uncrowned Kings' could only be used as a habitual form of address, after all, those three Kings from last year went to Luoshan and, as first-years, won the championship.
'Beat the Generation of Miracles, turn them into the Five Uncrowned Kings.'
That goal…
Worthy of Yukimiya Kazuma, who single-handedly fought the Generation of Miracles.
After filling out the application form.
