Chapter 89
Yukimiya Kazuma suppressed everything with one force; no matter what tactics the Quanzhen Hall starters changed, the situation didn't change, and the opponent was visibly getting more anxious as they played.
This 5-on-5 confrontation for the club entry test.
How should I put it?
By the end of the first half, Yukimiya Kazuma had lost interest, and from then on, he only exerted effort on defense, while the offense completely became a showcase time for his teammates.
Especially Tsuchiya Dahe.
With his 196-centimeter height, he just kept shooting after receiving Yukimiya's passes—near the rim, mid-range, three-pointers, fadeaways.
Without the pressure of facing Yukimiya Kazuma's defense during the nationals, Tsuchiya Dahe, with the help of "Passing and Control Master," became more accurate as he shot, fully displaying his rich shooting skills.
To be honest...
The opponent was definitely not a stable scorer with no dead ends on the court, but it could be seen that at every position, there was a certain baseline of shooting percentage.
Yukimiya Kazuma wasn't afraid that you weren't accurate; he was afraid that you weren't accurate at all.
As long as you have a baseline shooting percentage, and the "Passing and Control Master" accuracy enhancement effect is stacked on top, you can immediately transform into an efficient scorer.
And Tsuchiya Dahe, with his 196 height, could ensure the lowest interference for his shots. Although his own shooting hot zones weren't that many, he could ensure a baseline shooting percentage while spreading his shooting across the area within the three-point line.
Yukimiya Kazuma liked this kind of player very much.
Besides Tsuchiya Dahe, who was fed by Yukimiya Kazuma, Oguchi Ryuji's "traveling breakthrough" was also a strange trick that was difficult to solve for a while.
Even He Xiuyang and Long Tianzhang, who didn't have any special abilities, transformed into high-scoring players under the connection of Yukimiya Kazuma's passes.
After the game, Kuriki Noboru looked at Yukimiya Kazuma not far away, his expression complex.
Yukimiya Kazuma...
Is even more powerful than imagined.
Although they missed out on the entire Generation of Miracles, being able to snatch him might be a better result.
"Alright, today's club entry test ends here. Those I call out can come to the gym tomorrow for training."
"That is all."
When the afterglow outside the gym began to fall, and all the 5-on-5 confrontation matches of the teams formed by other newcomers were finished, the results of the Quanzhen Hall entry test were all announced.
After dismissal, everyone went to the gym's locker room to wash up.
As a first-year, Yukimiya Kazuma used lockers side-by-side with Long Tianzhang and the others.
Just at this moment, Long Tianzhang's ball bag fell from the locker, and when it hit the floor, a basketball weekly slid out from inside.
'Pass Basketball'
Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."
It was just annoying.
His handsome face was on it again.
The first-year freshmen saw "Yukimiya Kazuma" on this weekly and immediately gathered around.
"Eh? This is..."
"Is this the special issue for the Generation of Miracles' third championship? I bought it!"
"How amazing, the person in the weekly is right in front of me, haha~"
"So amazing!"
"Eh? Isn't this very strange? It's clearly a special issue for the Generation of Miracles, why is Yukimiya-san also in it?"
Behind them, Bodao Heguang, Domoto Akira, and others heard this, and without caring about having just lost the game, or that the result of losing the game might lead to losing their starting spots, they also gathered around.
Among them, Bodao Heguang nodded, "Ah, it's this one."
Long Tianzhang saw his collected weekly exposed in front of Yukimiya Kazuma himself, and he was so embarrassed he could dig a hole in the floor.
But fortunately, Yukimiya Kazuma didn't care; instead, He Xiuyang looked at him with a strange expression, causing Long Tianzhang to secretly glare back frequently.
Kuriki Noboru took the magazine from the hands of the first-year freshmen and said bluntly: "I have this one too. Although the theme is Teiko's three consecutive championships..."
"But as the only and most magnificent part of Teiko's third championship process, it's normal for Yukimiya to be invited for an interview together."
"Although the interviews for each person in the Generation of Miracles are also... hmm, very full of personality."
"But the most dazzling one..."
"Is still Yukimiya, right?"
Clearly, they had all read this interview.
Kuriki Noboru said this, and under the gaze of a group of freshmen, flipped past the page with Yukimiya Kazuma's close-up photo, and saw the title on the next page:
[Failure always runs through the whole of life; this is life]
"The happiest time?"
"Round-robin finals? Runner-up?"
"Everyone might think it was that time, but actually it wasn't."
"It should be the regional qualifiers, the day Bai Shui was confirmed to be able to advance to the nationals."
"In the locker room, I saw Masaki sitting on a chair crying uncontrollably. I will never forget that scene. At that moment, I was thinking, if there is a chance, I must win everything."
"Including Teiko."
"Later, for the same goal, the first task for everyone was actually to make up lessons, haha, it was for the summer intensive training camp..."
"Coach Shinmatsu Osamu is really a devil."
"..."
"Yes, we lost. Bai Shui vs. Teiko, the final score was 101:117. The actual gap was far greater than this score difference."
"It's a pity..."
"The trophy was right in front of me, the only chance in this life, and I failed to grasp it. After the game, I felt my mind go blank, but..."
"Everyone at Bai Shui told me that facing Teiko in the national finals was the happiest moment for everyone this last summer. Everyone will not forget all this; this is the most important thing."
"Think about it carefully, failure always runs through the whole of life; this is life."
Seirin High School, the day of freshman enrollment, the simple basketball club recruitment booth.
Aida Riko, who had been unable to catch any newcomers, after sending all the members out to promote, sat alone behind a simple table and chair, holding a somewhat old basketball weekly and reading it boredly.
"Yukimiya Kazuma..."
"Failure always runs through the whole of life; what a cool statement."
"It's a pity..."
"A player of this level is completely not something our Seirin can covet."
I don't know how the recruitment is going over there. Come on everyone, even if there are no players of Yukimiya Kazuma's level, at least bring back everyone who has potential!
Just as Aida Riko was hoping in her heart, the first batch of capture team members finally returned.
"I, I brought the freshman..."
"Is the basketball club here?"
"Eh..."
"Eh?!!!"
Aida Riko looked at the guy in front of her who was almost lifting Koganei up with one hand, and her eyes widened instantly.
Simply...
He was being carried over!
And this person in front of her had the force of a wild tiger!
Who is this guy!
Aida Riko immediately introduced the Seirin basketball club to this freshman who looked like he had good quality, and at the same time started to draw a blueprint.
