But after Akashi beat him black and blue, he went straight out to buy a baseball bat to stage an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The difference between these two is massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if that’s the case, isn’t the Kirisaki First starting lineup too strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Someone spotted the crux of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fan Chou also started to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course, with Haizaki joining Kirisaki First, the strength of the Kirisaki First lineup will definitely be super strong, absolutely top-tier in the country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, according to the rules, Haizaki definitely won't be able to appear in the Inter-High Tournament. The show mentions the Winter Cup many times, so the final showdown can only be in the subsequent Winter Cup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By this point, everyone should understand, right? Haizaki is being prepared for Seirin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kirisaki First is already this strong, and they still need a buff?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nonsense, it’s obvious that Seirin will also get a huge buff. Didn't you see that Seeing Seeing Kagami's big-bosomed Master has already come over from the United States?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I have no objection to a buff, but a buff this big—isn't that basically cheating?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Kirisaki First lineup is already badass, and they’re still getting a buff? Then just how much of a cheat will Seirin need?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, in the Inter-High Tournament, Kirisaki First hung Seirin up and beat them from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Seirin buffs they can think of start with Seeing Seeing Kagami Taiga.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The animation team hinted very early on that he has the potential of the Generation of Miracles, so entering the Zone shouldn't be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then there’s Kuroko; he hasn't evolved since middle school, so it’s time for a power-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After that, there’s the return of Kiyoshi Teppei, one of the Uncrowned Kings, and the strengthening of other role players.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s just that...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wait a minute, how much time is there between the Inter-High Tournament and the Winter Cup?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It should be a few months; they all happen within the same semester.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Damn, that means Seirin has to buff up to a level comparable to Kirisaki First in just a few short months?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That’s excessive!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Generation of Miracles are strong, and the audience can accept that because they watched them grow along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their growth and changes each have a story; it took three years to get to where they are today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Seeing Seeing Kagami hasn't even been on the scene for a year, and he’s about to catch up to the strongest of the Generation of Miracles?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The audience just can't accept it; this cheat is too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Can it not be big? Seirin achieved the goal of dominating the country just two years after the team was founded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The personnel configuration is that of a super strong team.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Seeing Kagami Taiga, who inexplicably became the strongest high school student in the country; Kuroko Tetsuya, a support player at the level of the Generation of Miracles; and Kiyoshi Teppei, one of the Uncrowned Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The remaining players, Izuki Shun and Hyuga Junpei, are also players on the same level as Kasamatsu Yukio, just one step behind the Uncrowned Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a strong team is no worse than Rakuzan, perhaps even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven subduing Haizaki can only be considered leveling the playing field in terms of lineup strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, Seirin’s cheat is truly massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Between the Inter-High Tournament and the Winter Cup, they are completely two different teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was time for the lower bracket matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Following Akashi’s appearance, Murasakibara, that giant baby, also took the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unlike Akashi, who lets you pretend for a while to fatten you up before killing you, Murasakibara showed people his innate physical conditions right from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A 208cm frame, 99kg of weight, athletic ability at the level of a guard, and reflex nerves that are the best in the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even with rough technique, it made him the most dominant center in the country, bar none.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the visual impact Yosen gives people is even greater than that of Rakuzan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Araki Masako \"turned over a new leaf\" and stopped being a yakuza big sister, she worked hard and became a professional female basketball player.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After retiring, she returned to her hometown in Akita Prefecture and became the head coach of Yosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over these years, Araki Masako has thoroughly injected the gene of \"defense wins championships\" into Yosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the regional qualifiers, Yosen didn't let a single team score more than 20 points against them!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They are the most famous \"strongest wall\" in the country!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The grapevine says that Kaijo’s head coach, Takeuchi Genta, is also one of her suitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, Coach Takeuchi Genta’s pestering angered Coach Araki’s underlings, and he was dealt with quite harshly before finally giving up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Momoi Satsuki continued her work as a double agent today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She left the Too team directly and ran over to the Kirisaki First side to watch the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hara Kazuya and the others all admired Satsuki’s vast connections; she could even collect such gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This change is too erratic; one careless moment and you catch a cold. It’s incredibly uncomfortable. I’ll make up the two chapters I owed yesterday first, take some medicine, and then go to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The game started quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Except for the two guards, the three frontcourt players all had heights reaching or exceeding 2 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the category of high school students, such a height advantage is decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No wonder Araki Masako didn't accept Takeuchi Genta’s pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This yakuza big sister clearly prefers big guys over a fat nerd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Araki Masako suddenly felt a wave of malice and keenly looked toward the direction of Kirisaki First.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are they here to scout for information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Araki Masako sneered, then picked up her bamboo sword to direct her players.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you let the opponent score a single point today, you can run all the way back to Akita Prefecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The players all showed expressions of looking at a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the quarterfinals of the Inter-High Tournament, damn it. Not letting the opponent score a single point? Do you think we’re gods?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But even though they said that, the Yosen players still smiled and accepted the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as the game started, Murasakibara won the tip-off for the team with an absolute advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Fukui Kensuke dribbled the ball across half-court, a 4-on-5 opportunity appeared in the frontcourt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen was playing 4 against 5; after winning the tip-off, Murasakibara, that guy, ran to his own restricted area to guard it, habitually licking the delicious snack residue on his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"4 against 5? What is Yosen trying to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this for real? Even though he’s the core of the team, he’s not participating in the offense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The bad boys of Kirisaki First said they hadn't seen this before; it was too strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even they wouldn't play basketball so absurdly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Because he’s little Murasakibara.\" Satsuki shook her head with a smile. \"It was like this in middle school, too. Little Murasakibara has always been in a state of having no motivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It can't be said that he was like this from the beginning; it only started after Tian and Aomine and the others didn't come to the team often.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Little Murasakibara is a person who is easily emotional; he is often influenced by the people around him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanamiya Makoto and the others said they didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These Generation of Miracles are all monsters, both in terms of strength and personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They hadn't forgotten Akashi from yesterday; that was a freak who wouldn't even forgive his own parents when he got ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, their own leader wasn't any worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They’re all a bunch of perverts,\" they sighed in their hearts, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even at 4 against 5, Yosen completed this offensive possession very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their advantage in the interior was too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without Murasakibara, there were still two big guys in the interior, Liu Wei and Okamura Kenichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rather, without Murasakibara, their performance on the offensive end could be even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, last year they were the team’s proper center and power forward; this year, they changed their positions to make way for Murasakibara.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: This weather is truly a monster.
