Chapter 187

Among them, Aomine was the most eye-catching.

Compared to last year, he was like he had been upgraded by a level.

Scoring was like taking something out of a bag; after two practice matches, there wasn't a single match where he scored less than 40 points.

The second lineup led by him and Kuroko opened up the score difference no less than the first lineup of Tiandao and the others.

Nijimura Shuzo saw everything in his eyes.

This day, he took the initiative to knock on the door of Shirogane Kozo's office.

"Come in."

"Excuse me."

Seeing the visitor, Shirogane Kozo stopped his work and asked, "What's wrong, Nijimura."

"There is one thing, I hope that in the upcoming qualifiers, Aomine will replace my position as the team starter."

"Hmm?"

Shirogane Kozo put down his pen, not understanding Nijimura Shuzo's decision.

He didn't think there was any need to change Teikou's current rotation mode.

"Give me a reason."

Nijimura Shuzo could only tell the truth.

"It's because of some things at home."

It turned out that Nijimura Shuzo's family member was sick and needed someone to take care of them.

He couldn't devote all his energy to the national tournament or even managing the basketball club.

Therefore, he wanted to give up his starting position, not wanting to occupy the latrine without doing anything.

"The current Aomine can fully handle my position, and might even perform better than me."

Based on Aomine's performance and data in the practice matches, there was no problem at all in replacing his position.

With Akashi also entering the starting lineup, Teikou's starting lineup now definitely had enough ball handlers.

With Tiandao and Akashi controlling the rhythm on the court, his functionality would be weakened, so it was better to let Aomine, who had stronger offensive power, play as a starter.

Shirogane Kozo heard this, thought for a moment, and finally agreed.

Family is more important after all.

He soon announced the news.

"Ah? Captain, you are going to play as a substitute?"

"Well, this is the result of my discussion with the coach; my original position will be replaced by Aomine."

"This, why, Captain, it doesn't matter if I play as a substitute, my cooperation with Zeya is also very good, right, Zeya."

Although Aomine also wanted to play as a starter, after all, the friends who joined the club together were all starters, and he didn't want to be that "repeater."

However, he didn't think anyone was more suitable to be Teikou's power forward than Nijimura Shuzo.

Tiandao asked knowingly, "Is it because of off-court reasons?"

Nijimura Shuzo nodded and said, "Ah, it's some personal reasons of mine; now I can't devote all my energy to the national tournament, so, you guys have to work hard next."

Hearing this, everyone could only express understanding.

"Then let's decide it this way, everyone get ready, don't forget what our goal is this year, defend the title!"

"Now, everyone run ten laps around the court, next is the confrontation match."

"Oh!"

The Teikou boys immediately started running around the court.

Preparing enthusiastically for the upcoming national tournament.
