Chapter 227

But after being defeated by such a terrifying point gap, Kagami Taiga could even be said to have erupted with an even fiercer fury than before.

"Tch…"

"He's full of drive at the exact moment he should be giving up."

"First time I've ever seen a guy like this."

Although Long Tian Zhang was complaining about it like this, there wasn't a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Down on the court.

Tian Lizi was completely dumbfounded by Yukimiya Kazuma, cold sweat streaming down nonstop.

Although the team from Quan Zhen Hall was strong, if the opponent's Generation of Miracles-level combatant were only someone like Kise, then to win, a tactic could still be devised.

But this Yukimiya Kazuma…

Runner-up of the All-Japan Middle School Tournament.

Just one person alone, yet he is suppressing Seirin across the board!

Seirin's strength was formidable; if last year Mijichi Teppei hadn't been injured during the match against Kirisaki Daiichi, she had always believed Seirin already had the strength last year to break through the prefectural finals and reach nationals.

But…

This year, with so many powerful new additions in succession.

Especially with the emergence of the inside presence Takefuji Masaki and Kagami Taiga, she believed it had already compensated to a certain extent for the void left by Mijichi Teppei, however…

Reality had dealt her a heavy blow; that Seirin could be beaten to such an embarrassing extent was something she had never imagined.

Tian Lizi turned her head to glance at Takefuji Masaki and Liang Huayin, who were panting and replenishing their fluids, and thought, no wonder those two were so determined to have a practice match with Quan Zhen Hall…

The reputation of the Western King was certainly resounding, but after Yukimiya Kazuma joined, if one continued to view them with the old "Western King" eyes.

One would surely suffer a great loss at the I·H.

But…

Yukimiya Kazuma…

Was practically flawless!

Even if their strength was clearly recognized, if they met at the IH, the result wouldn't change at all.

What on earth should be done?

*Slap~*

Just at that moment.

Takefuji Masaki suddenly walked over and patted Tian Lizi on the shoulder, "The I·H is a longer journey than All-Japan; don't be too impatient. It's good to clearly recognize in advance the top-tier strength of this year's high school basketball."

"And Yukimiya wasn't wrong…"

"He is the strongest.. 0 "

"The purpose of today's practice match also lies in this point."

"We need to sketch out the outline of the strongest in our minds, and take that as our goal to complete our evolution during this journey; as for how far we can ultimately go, we just need to give it our all and have no regrets."

"After all…"

"Strength is either there or it isn't; it absolutely doesn't happen overnight."

"Even for Bai Shui Hall."

"From the start of All-Japan to the end of All-Japan, every team member, including Kazuma, completed earth-shattering changes."

"Even though we ultimately lost to Teikou, we had no regrets."

"Because we had already given our all during that journey."

At some unknown point, the Seirin members all fell silent, listening to Takefuji Masaki's steady voice; even Kagami, who had been blazing with fury, unconsciously calmed down.

Tian Lizi couldn't help turning her head to glance at Hyuga Junpei, and the figure of Mijichi Teppei surfaced once again in her mind.

Compared to these two…

So…

So reliable…!!

As expected of Bai Shui Hall's captain!

But just as Tian Lizi was thinking this, she saw Takefuji Masaki's resolute expression suddenly relax; he then casually smoothed back his pompadour — who knew how much hairspray it took — and said, "Um…"

"Coach, can I take a leave~"

"A-Liang and I are going to catch up with our old teammates!"

"Damn Yukimiya Kazuma, he really hit hard; my chest still aches even now. I'm going to fleece him for a meal later, come on, A-Liang!"

Tian Lizi: "Wait…"

Wait…

I haven't agreed yet!!

Liang Huayin glanced at Tian Lizi, and ultimately still followed Takefuji Masaki; only when passing by Tian Lizi's side did he soothe her a little, "Masaki can only be reliable on the court for a short while; once off the court, don't have too many expectations of him…"

Especially when he no longer has the captain's responsibility on his shoulders.

"We'll take a leave, and once we're back we'll take the initiative to do extra training."

"Alright…"

"Fine…"

Catching up with old teammates and the like was indeed very reasonable.

"Then the rest of us…"

"1, 2, 3, 4…"

"Wait…"

"Why is there still one missing?"

Koganei Shinji raised his hand, pointed toward the gymnasium entrance, and said, "Um… Kuroko's over there. From what he said, a former teammate from Teikou is calling for him."

The group glanced toward the gymnasium entrance.

White.

Yellow.

Green.

Cyan.

Pink.

Add Kuroko Tetsuya's blue.

A bunch of multicolored hair bunched together.
