Chapter 211
Teikou has successfully defended their title, securing a rare second consecutive National Tournament championship in history, and they have a tremendous opportunity to create an unprecedented three-peat.
This is an achievement that even Rikkaidai from the neighboring production couldn't reach.
There certainly won't be any championship parades or celebrations.
Although the school administration issued public praise, there were almost no actual rewards, only various special privileges granted to Teikou's few genius players.
Simply put, it doesn't matter even if they don't attend class; as long as you don't hit a teacher or do anything heinous, the school can guarantee your advancement, and it's enough to just remember to show up on time to play.
The current Teikou Basketball Club has already become the signature of Teikou Junior High.
Thanks to them, they were able to exceed their enrollment targets this year.
Too many students aiming for the "Generation of Miracles" chose to enroll at Teikou after middle school.
Seeing the privileges the school granted to Tian Lizi and the others, Fujimura felt something was wrong and hoped the school would reconsider seriously.
But the school administration, whose brains were already flooded with cash, didn't care at all and even told him to be more patient with these players and not to be so strict with them.
His foundation was still too shallow; if it were Bai Jin Yongzhi, he would have scolded them long ago.
A few days later, at the Teikou Basketball Club.
As usual, after the National Tournament ended, they held a farewell ceremony for the members who were about to graduate and leave the basketball club.
Tian Lizi, as the newly appointed captain, took the stage to give a speech.
He came prepared, holding a piece of paper he had printed from somewhere online, and read it aloud in front of dozens of people.
"The autumn sky is clear and the air is crisp, the spring flowers are blooming..."
The members below were all speechless, thinking to themselves that their captain really didn't care about other people's gazes at all.
However, everyone didn't resist, because this was the style of Teikou's demon star—living a transparent life!
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain."
"Now you are the captain."
Tian Lizi, representing the whole team, presented flowers to Nijimura Shuzo, who was retiring from the club, thanking him for his dedication to the basketball club over the past three years.
Nijimura Shuzo smiled as he took them, then patted him on the shoulder, "The basketball club is handed over to you from now on."
Not long after, he would move to the Ugly Country with his family.
His family member's illness could not be cured in a short time, and his high school career would, barring any accidents, be spent over there.
"No problem, when you get to the Ugly Country, you have to work hard too. How about showing me a five-star high schooler?"
"It's not as simple as you say."
Nijimura Shuzo gave a bitter smile.
The level of basketball over there is, as always, the strongest in the world.
Nash from the theatrical version was once a famous university basketball player and even played in the NCAA.
But even he couldn't dominate that land, and in the end, he ran off to the Dragon Club to become a bandit leader, and would spit on people at every turn.
Therefore, wanting to grind out a five-star high schooler achievement in this world is not an easy task.
"You need to pay more attention to Aomine's situation."
If there's one person in the basketball club now who can't put his mind at ease, it's probably only Aomine.
That simple child who once had only basketball in his brain is now more like a beast that has grown sharp spikes.
"He'll be obedient after a beating."
"That's true."
Nijimura Shuzo thought about it and agreed that this was the logic.
Aomine's way of thinking, in his view, was too childish and immature, like a child who hasn't grown up.
Once he experiences failure, he will naturally regain his passion.
After all, what he complains about is just that the games are too easy and there isn't a single person who can fight.
