Chapter 187

"His situation is relatively special; he withdrew from the basketball club in his second year of middle school."

Tiandao didn't explain too much, his gaze curiously fixed on the TV screen.

This was an unexpected joy.

He didn't expect a guy like Haizaki to appear so early.

Tiandao thought he would appear in the Winter Cup just like in the original work.

If it were normal circumstances, Haizaki might really only start playing basketball again in the Winter Cup.

But after receiving Tiandao's invitation, he suddenly developed an interest in playing basketball again.

He wanted to let that guy Tiandao, who looked down on people, see that without him, Tiandao, he could also complete his revenge.

"Yo, we meet again, Akashi."

On the court, Haizaki looked at Akashi provocatively.

He didn't feel that the current Akashi was any different from before; he was just as detestable.

"I didn't expect to see you in a place like this (the court)."

"Long time no see, Haizaki."

Akashi greeted him with a smile; those who didn't know would think they were old teammates with a good relationship.

But those who knew Akashi knew that when treating friends, Akashi always called them by their first names.

He called Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, Aomine Daiki, and Kise, Midorima, and Murasakibara were all called by their first names.

Calling Haizaki by his surname meant alienation.

"It's been a while, and you're still as annoying as ever." The thing Haizaki hated most about Akashi was his nonchalance. "That's fine too; when I complete my revenge on you, the joy will be doubled."

"Revenge?" Akashi heard this word and laughed again, but immediately turned cold. "The future is absolute, just as I predicted long ago that you would eventually be surpassed by Ryota."

"I'm very happy to see you on the court again, but if you're here to block my path, then prepare to fall into hell."

Akashi glanced at him, his gaze very cold, his left eye like a knife, scraping the skin until it hurt.

"What? He's also from Teiko? Then why is there no information about him in the newspapers at all?"

"Because he withdrew from the basketball club in his second year."

Kuroko frowned; this was a person who shouldn't have appeared.

Back then, he had witnessed with his own eyes Haizaki throwing his basketball shoes into the incinerator.

"Then what is his purpose for coming back this time?"

"Probably for revenge."

Kuroko told them some of the past events of Teiko.

Including the respective problems the Generation of Miracles encountered in their second year.

Such as Riko's passing, Aomine being troubled by not being able to find an opponent, Murasakibara not wanting to train, etc.

The Seirin people heard this, their foreheads full of black lines.

"The Generation of Miracles really are a bunch of willful guys."

During the conversation.

The match had already started, and Eikichi Nebuya won the jump ball without suspense.

The ball was given to Akashi, and with a simple look-away pass, he deceived Fukuda Sogo's point guard and sent the ball to Reo Mibuchi.

"Swish!"

Yasha caught the ball and shot, hitting it immediately, helping the team open the scoring.

There were no complicated tactics; Rakuzan played very simply.

Give the ball to Akashi to handle, and then have this strongest point guard in the country stimulate the abilities of the three Uncrowned Kings in the lineup.

And this was Rakuzan's royal style; they didn't play fancy games with you, but directly crushed you from the front.

"That's clean and efficient. Is seeking revenge on Rakuzan thinking too much?"

Kazunari Takao said while looking at the green-haired guy beside him.

He seemed to want to know about Haizaki from his mouth.

"You'll know if you keep watching." Midorima didn't say much, his eyes fixed on the court.

Haizaki soon revealed his fangs.

In Fukuda Sogo's offense, he received the ball from a teammate and jumped directly in the face of Kotaro Hayama's defense.

That posture was exactly the same as Reo Mibuchi's.

"Imitation?"

Many people exclaimed, not expecting that there was someone in this world who possessed imitation ability like Kise's.

"It's not imitation, it's plunder."

"Plunder? What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says; that guy Haizaki can steal other people's abilities."

Aomine also had a match today, because Too and Rakuzan were both in the upper half.

Steal other people's abilities?

The Too people understood, but it seemed they didn't understand.

It wasn't until the next time Reo Mibuchi caught the ball for a three-pointer, but missed the open shot, that people finally felt something was wrong.

"That Yasha actually missed an open three-pointer?"

This was very surprising. If there was interference or defense, missing would be understandable. But as an absolute open shot, at Reo Mibuchi's level, it was really too inappropriate.

Fortunately, Eikichi Nebuya protected the rebound well, and then used his muscles to open the way, heavily dunking the ball into the hoop.

"Muscle dunk?"

"Doesn't sound like much, but I'll generously accept it."

Haizaki clearly had a good appetite; he could eat anything.

In the transition between offense and defense, Fukuda Sogo's offense was blocked by Rakuzan's dense defense.

Seeing that there was little time left on the shot clock, the shooting guard in the lineup missed a mid-range shot.

Eikichi Nebuya jumped up, enjoying ravaging his opponent with his muscles, pushing aside Fukuda Sogo's center and jumping high.

"Muscle rebound!"

"Like an idiot, do you only have the word 'muscle' in your brain?"

Just as Eikichi Nebuya was about to grab the basketball, Haizaki arrived later and grabbed the ball first.

Then, after landing, he forcibly carried Eikichi Nebuya and pressed the ball into the hoop using the opponent's skill package.

Eikichi Nebuya was shocked, and then showed an appreciative look at Haizaki.

He felt he had met a soulmate.

"I acknowledge your muscles!"

Huh?

Haizaki's expression stiffened, thinking, is this guy an idiot?

Akashi still didn't show anything, letting his teammates inbound the ball and continuing to direct the team's offense.

The score on the court also began to rise alternately.

No matter how Rakuzan completed the shot, Haizaki could always score in the same way when he turned around.

With his performance, more and more fans discovered his identity.

Although Haizaki withdrew from the basketball club in his second year of middle school, he did have a record of playing and was a legitimate first-string member of Teiko.

It was also at this time that Haizaki's ability finally surfaced.

"Clang!"

Reo Mibuchi missed a shot again; his confident shot actually turned into an airball.

"What's going on?"

Once or twice is an accident, but what about the third or fourth time?

Moreover, now it wasn't just Reo Mibuchi who was underperforming in Rakuzan; the other two, Thunder Beast and Powerhouse, had also lost themselves.

Kotaro Hayama was the most outrageous; he even made a mistake while dribbling, hitting his own foot.

"This is that guy Haizaki's ability, his plunder."
