Chapter 21: Episode 1 begins broadcasting
While Jingyan Tiandao was leading the team to launch a counterattack, on other courts, those members of the Generation of Miracles were not idle either.
Daiki Aomine, this guy who you could tell was good at basketball just by looking at his skin color, used a streetball style that people considered juggling to make the Teikou Second String members lose their way.
The Second String members had tried their best to defend, but Aomine could always score through unexpected moves.
In just 10 minutes, this stinky tumor shot 12 times, hit 9, and scored the highest 18 points among the freshmen.
Like Jingyan Tiandao, upon discovering a "thigh" (star player), teammates all handed the ball to Aomine, and he was almost fighting the five members of the Second String alone.
It was just a different method, and in the end, they narrowly defeated their opponents by 2 points, 44:42.
Shintaro Midorima was not to be outdone.
Although his offensive performance wasn't as flashy as Aomine's, his scoring in these 10 minutes was only one point less than Aomine's, and more than Jingyan Tiandao's.
In the 10 minutes he was on the court, this four-eyed guy fired wildly outside the three-point line, relying on an extremely heaven-defying touch, hitting 5 out of 7 shots and scoring 15 points.
Under his sufficient exterior firepower, the Second String was forced to expand their defensive line, resulting in frequent interior scoring for the freshman team.
Seijuro Akashi.
The rich second-generation kid with eighth-grader syndrome didn't score as much as Aomine, Midorima, and Tiandao.
But this guy seemed like a natural leader; after he went on court, teammates inexplicably began to trust him and started running tactics and operating according to his ideas.
Even though it was a temporarily assembled team, with some not even knowing their teammates' names, they magically played with a tacit understanding that could fight the Second String on the court.
Compared to the shock brought by the others, his performance seemed lukewarm.
But the progress of the game, or rather the rhythm, was always in the team he was on.
This was a bit scary.
In 10 minutes of playing time, he only scored 2 points but delivered a full 7 assists, and the ball possession was almost entirely in his hands.
The only two points he scored were the mid-range shot that sealed the deal at the last moment.
Night.
After the basketball club activities ended.
Kozo Shirogane sat in deep thought, holding the data organized by the assistant coach.
Murasakibara was a child he focused on, and Kozo Shirogane had watched his performance the whole time.
7 rebounds and 4 blocks—such data, the current starting center of the First String probably couldn't even get.
However, because Murasakibara was a famous genius in elementary school, he still had some expectations in his heart.
What shocked him were the other children.
Daiki Aomine: 20 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block.
Shintaro Midorima: 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists.
Seijuro Akashi: 2 points, 3 steals, 9 assists.
Jingyan Tiandao: 10 points, 2 rebounds, 7 steals, 2 blocks.
In previous entrance tests, the freshman team was mostly the one being beaten.
But this year, with these talent monsters intruding, Kozo Shirogane was stunned to find that the Second String had actually been overturned?
"Is this a gift from heaven to Teikou?" Kozo Shirogane looked at the assistant coach, and both could see the ecstasy in each other's eyes.
The person who had previously been able to lead freshmen to overturn the Second String was Shuzo Nijimura, who was now the captain of Teikou and one of the strongest power forwards in the nation.
And this year?
Four came at once, and their positions didn't conflict.
Interior and exterior defensive gatekeepers, a point-breaking spearhead, heavy-fire artillery outside the three-point line, and an organizer who coordinates everything.
The key was that these four were all first-year freshmen, and Teikou could use them for three years!
Three whole years!
As steady as Kozo Shirogane was, at this moment he wanted to look up to the sky and roar, "I'm going to be rich!"
Everything that happened today was definitely the most unbelievable thing in the history of the Teikou Basketball Club.
The Second String members he, Kozo Shirogane, had trained for at least a year had been overturned in the confrontation match for freshman entrance.
He wasn't angry at all; in fact, he felt a little bit of secret joy.
The next day.
The youth section of "Tokyo Sports" published a piece of news that local fans talked about with relish:
The news stated: "We were fortunate enough to witness the freshman entrance test of the powerhouse Teikou yesterday. As per tradition, Coach Shirogane used last year's assessment method to test the freshmen.
In previous entrance tests, the Teikou upperclassmen who had been baptized by the National Tournament and Coach Shirogane could always easily defeat the freshman team.
But this situation changed this year, as a full 4 Second String teams were cut down by the first-year freshmen.
And the reason for all this astonishing change was merely 4 first-year freshmen.
4 teams, a total of 20 Second String upperclassmen, were defeated by the teams led by these four genius players respectively..."
This report was, of course, published by Jun Kubo.
In the report, he highlighted the performance of the four, including Jingyan Tiandao, in the confrontation match, including their data and photos of the game.
And in the text, he warned teams in the Tokyo area to be careful of Teikou Middle School this year.
This report had a certain impact locally, but it was limited.
After all, they were just middle school students, and the attention couldn't compare to high school or even university tournaments.
Unless they did something earth-shattering.
Real world.
Night.
A big-nosed man with black-rimmed glasses sat in front of the computer and started his live broadcast on a certain power-generating website.
The title of the live broadcast: 【Welcome to Fan Gege's New Anime Wonderful House】.
'First!'
'Second!'
'10086th!'
'Wherever Fan Gege is, there I am!'
Fan Gege was not the big nose's real name, but his ID as an UP-host.
As one of the three great gods of the anime section of the power station, his every move would attract the attention of fans.
Just after starting the live broadcast, many people received website notifications and flocked to the website to watch Fan Gege perform today.
However, during the live broadcast, Fan Shi rarely performed; he only made fun of things in his own roast videos to make everyone happy.
"Good evening everyone, I am your favorite Fan Gege."
With a simple opening, he quickly opened the new anime list.
"April has arrived, and many new anime have already met everyone."
"Today, let me take you all to see what these new teas are like."
Sliding the mouse and looking at several new anime that had already aired one episode, he fell into hesitation.
Several months ago, he had already released videos and done previews.
Except for anime without original works as a foundation, he had actually already watched most of the new anime and knew the plot.
So. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
