Chapter 92

"Long time no see..."

Hanain Ryo looked up at Yukimiya Kazuma, his eyes widening because of the other party's height at this moment.

Seeing the surprised expressions on Takefuji Masaki and Hanain Ryo's faces, Yukimiya Kazuma chuckled and stepped aside, and then Takefuji Masaki and the other were even more shocked.

"Tsuchiya Dahe..."

"Oguchi Ryuji..."

"He Xiuyang..."

"Long Tianzhang?"

Takefuji Masaki's volume increased quite a bit instantly, "The others are fine, but what's going on with you, Long Tianzhang?!"

Long Tianzhang snorted coldly and didn't speak.

In middle school, you relied on this guy Yukimiya to fight all the way to the finals.

In high school, it should be my turn.

Hmph!

Takefuji Masaki: "...!"

Wait...!

This guy Kazuma!

Just now his attention was drawn away by others, only to find that this guy Kazuma had grown so much taller?!

"Kazuma, you..."

"How tall are you now?!"

Yukimiya Kazuma measured Takefuji Masaki. The other party should have been over 191 at the end of the nationals, and now should be 198, having grown a lot since middle school.

But he had grown even more.

"196 centimeters."

"It's a pity, I almost couldn't catch up to you."

Takefuji Masaki was stunned. A 196-centimeter point guard?

No!

This guy, won't he change to play center in high school?!

Then in this game, wouldn't the one playing against him be himself?!

"Who is this person?"

"White hair..."

"Bai Shui Middle School's ace, Uncrowned King Yukimiya Kazuma!"

"What about the person behind? There's actually another guy that tall. Quanzhen Hall's average height is so high."

Hanain Ryo turned his head to introduce information to everyone at Seirin, "The one as tall as Kazuma is Hagiya Middle School's ace Tsuchiya Dahe, the slightly shorter one is Kitaoka Middle School's ace Oguchi Ryuji. Their teams were all the number one seeds in their respective middle school regions."

"The next one in height is He Xiuyang. The strength of their team in middle school was relatively weak, and he was the ace of that team. As for the shortest one..."

Takefuji Masaki added: "That one is not important."

Long Tianzhang: "??"

"The situation is not good!"

Aida Riko's eyes scanned around, her brain, which was on the verge of crashing, was chaotically recording information.

Yukimiya Kazuma, height 196cm.

Tsuchiya Dahe, height 196cm.

Oguchi Ryuji, height 189cm.

He Xiuyang, height 186cm.

Long Tianzhang, height 183cm.

All 180+, and the interior combination is even a double 196!

Such a lineup, in the high school basketball world, is really...

Outrageously tall!

But what she didn't know was that there were plenty of people even more outrageously tall this year.

Aida Riko looked at Yukimiya Kazuma and Tsuchiya Dahe in front.

The whole person became visibly silent.

Compared to this, Seirin now...

Eh?!

Aida Riko looked at her own team members, and her eyes suddenly cleared up.

That's right!

She was still habitually looking at Seirin with old eyes.

With the addition of several powerful newcomers this year, we Seirin are not weak in height!

Takefuji Masaki 198, Kagami Taiga 190, Hanain Ryo 186, Hyuga Junpei 178, Izuki Shun 174, and Kiyoshi Teppei, who overlaps with Kagami, is also 186.

We have the strength to fight in terms of height!

And at this moment, Kagami Taiga, after seeing Yukimiya Kazuma, felt a flame ignite in his heart again, and his whole person became high-spirited.

Yukimiya Kazuma was amused by him, "Don't look at me with those eyes, I won't play one-on-one with you like Kise Ryota~"

Kagami at this stage was completely not in his opponent directory.

Let him be tortured at the Inter-High, and we'll talk about the Winter Cup later~

In the corner of the crowd, Kuroko Tetsuya also looked solemn when looking at Yukimiya Kazuma. He knew this person's strength very well, although he once naively thought that Kagami might have approached the Generation of Miracles.

But the person he was compared to was Kise Ryota.

As for Yukimiya Kazuma?

Kuroko didn't even dare to think about comparing him with Kagami!

"We're here, this is it."

As first-years, Yukimiya Kazuma and the others led Seirin all the way to the basketball club's gymnasium.

Even though Seirin was a new school established only last year, and even though Seirin lost to Quanzhen Hall by three times the score last year, Coach Kakita Yishi did not underestimate Seirin at all.

Because in their team, there were Yukimiya Kazuma's former teammates.

There was the Phantom Sixth Man of the Generation of Miracles.

Of course...

There was also Kagami Taiga, who Yukimiya Kazuma said had the qualifications of a miracle.

Plus the members who were enough to enter the regional round-robin finals last year, this lineup was already quite solid.

"Is that the red-haired one..."

"Kagami Taiga."

"Although Yukimiya said he is not worth worrying about for the time being, since he is a guy personally named by Yukimiya, let's observe him closely in this game."

The venue equipment needed for the training match was prepared in advance.

After Seirin arrived, both sides went straight to the theme.

The players changed into their jerseys and did warm-up exercises in their respective halves.

On Seirin's side, when Hyuga Junpei and other second-year members were secretly observing the situation at Quanzhen Hall, they didn't know what they saw, but suddenly their expressions all changed.

"Hey hey!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Everyone followed Hyuga Junpei's line of sight and saw Yukimiya Kazuma, with his snow-white hair, "strolling" while dribbling along the sideline, and he was wearing the Quanzhen Hall jersey.

It was clearly number 4.

The number symbolizing the captain.

And when everyone's line of sight was discovered by Yukimiya Kazuma.

Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly controlled the ball, walked to the front, and stopped.

He just stood there quietly, but everyone at Seirin felt that the aura on the other party was like a huge black hole, shrouded in darkness, wanting to swallow everything around it.

"Masaki..."

"A-Liang..."

"You said you wanted me to play with full force, right?"

Takenori Taketou and Ryo Hanakage nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

Whether it was to confirm Kazuma Yukimiya's current strength or to let Seirin see the most terrifying monster, since they were playing, they had to give it their all!

After the trials and tribulations at Baishui Hall, even when facing the pillar of their former team, Kazuma Yukimiya, they would not easily admit defeat.

Because that was what the three of them had done after graduating from the Baishui Hall basketball club...

Personally hanging the team motto for Baishui Hall...

'Firm and resolute, unyielding.'

And...

Their desperate special training during this period was not in vain!

"Hoo..."

Takenori Taketou took a deep breath.

Their opponent was...

Kazuma Yukimiya.

And the champion, Quanzhen Hall.

During this period of training, he and A-Liang had not relaxed even a little.

Alright!

Let's go!

Takenori Taketou and Ryo Hanakage high-fived each other.

The others from Seirin kept looking at the two, because these two felt completely different from usual once they stepped onto the official court.

"..."

Junpei Hyuga clenched his fists secretly.

Then he organized a huddle.

"Everyone!"

"The opponent is the champion, Quanzhen Hall!"

"And this year the opponent has recruited several super rookies, but..."

"For us, nothing has changed!"

"Because no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, we must defeat them with all our might!"

On the other side, although he had received the number 4 jersey, Kazuma Yukimiya, who had no experience in this area, naturally left this kind of thing to... Tian Zhang.

Hmm.

Not the captain, Noboru Kuriki, but Tian Zhang.

Kazuma Yukimiya was not good at doing this kind of thing; although Dahe Tsuchiya was usually full of energy, he would put on a cold, aloof expression once he entered the game state; Ryuji Oguchi had a heavy idol burden, and He Xiuyang was introverted...

The task of doing this eventually fell to Tian Zhang.

Tian Zhang was in high spirits in front of the huddle!

He slowly reached out his hand...

"Our goal is...!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Tian Zhang was flustered for a second, then immediately followed up with the second half of the sentence, "National Champion!"

The seniors of Quanzhen Hall were instantly dumbfounded.

It's just a practice game, and you're already talking about national champion?

Then...

They saw Kazuma Yukimiya reach out his hand first, saying with a speechless expression, "How can a pre-game pep talk be this short? But..."

"That works too."

"National champion."

When it came out of Tian Zhang's mouth just now, it felt quite childish.

However, when Kazuma Yukimiya said 'that works too' in a light and breezy manner, everyone suddenly felt a sense of being ignited in their hearts.

"National champion!"

"Let's go!"

The players from both sides took the court.

Junpei Hyuga's gaze fell on Kazuma Yukimiya, "..."

This aura.

As expected of the top genius player in middle school!

From the moment Kazuma Yukimiya stepped onto the court, even during the simple warm-up, Junpei Hyuga felt a sense of horror constantly attacking him!

Beep~!

The jump ball at center court; facing Takenori Taketou was Kazuma Yukimiya.

Takenori Taketou had an expectation in his heart and said, "Can you jump for the ball? You won't make a mistake like Atsushi Murasakibara, right?"

Kazuma Yukimiya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very steady."

And Kazuma Yukimiya indeed kept his promise.

When the ball was tossed up from the center circle.

Creak!

The shrill sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor suddenly rang out!

Takenori Taketou and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and a figure whistled and jumped up!

In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the high-tossed basketball.

Slap~

The moment the ball began to fall, Kazuma Yukimiya, who seemed to be suspended in mid-air, tapped the ball to his teammates from Quanzhen Hall behind him. Even though it was very obvious that Kazuma Yukimiya had jumped first, he landed at the same time as Takenori Taketou!

Takenori Taketou stared blankly at the scene before him, his eyes widened slightly, and his whole body froze.

Kazuma Yukimiya smiled at him, "Relax, the game has just begun."
