Chapter 232

Better to lose to him than be crushed by Seirin; if I say I was defeated by the champion, it sounds far better than losing to Seirin.

It's just a pity for Seihou; I wonder if those muscle-bound guys have improved compared to their original progress.

After all, there's the connection of Haruka Haru's older brother, Haruhei Haru.

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

Ah.

Never mind.

As for Haru, he probably wishes his brother would lose.

Yukimiya Kazuma examined the bracket closely, looking at the densely packed schools listed on it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Truly high school basketball; the scale has expanded significantly, and it's fierce enough. Just the number of schools in Group D nearly equals the total number of teams in the entire Tokyo district preliminary round."

Kuriki Noboru spoke again at that moment:

"The I·H Tokyo district preliminary round has a total of four groups."

"According to knockout tournament standards, only the top team from each group advances to the Enter Round-Robin Finals of the preliminary round."

"And the four teams entering the Enter Round-Robin Finals must play a full round-robin; only the top three teams will ultimately secure the seed spots to participate in the I·H national tournament."

"Out of a combined three hundred high schools in the Tokyo district, only three can stand out."

"A fierce competition selecting only 1%! And this is merely the preliminary round!"

"The I·H is such a cruel place!"

While listening to the captain introduce the newcomers, Yukimiya Kazuma scanned the opponents on the bracket back and forth until he spotted another familiar name in the corner.

And it was the one he hated the most.

Yukimiya Kazuma couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Caught you~

Kirisaki Daiichi.
