Chapter 447: Tit for Tat
"Next up is Rakuzan's No. 6, Mibuchi Reo, nicknamed 'Yaksha,' one of the best shooters in the country."
"He is a member of the Uncrowned Kings, Rakuzan High School's starting shooting guard, and the player with the most three-pointers in this year's national tournament!"
Because Midorima was eliminated early, the person with the most three-pointers in the national tournament became Mibuchi Reo.
Mibuchi Reo smiled and waved to the audience, full of confidence.
"Next up is Kirisaki Daiichi's vice-captain, Hanamiya Makoto, one of the best point guards in the country."
"He is also a member of the Uncrowned Kings, nicknamed 'Bad Boy,' a genius player with an IQ as high as 160, and the third place in this year's national tournament steal list."
Hearing this, the fans cheered hard.
No one felt that this third place in steals was worse than Mibuchi Reo having the highest number of three-pointers.
Because the two players ranked second and first in the steal list were also in today's finals.
They were Tian Lizi and Akashi, so this third place was actually the first place among ordinary players.
Fans were used to distinguishing the Generation of Miracles from other players.
The appearance ceremony of the two teams was grand.
Because just hearing their names made people feel they were very powerful.
Yaksha, Power, Thunder Beast, Bad Boy, and so on.
Just the Uncrowned Kings alone, this match gathered four, only missing Kiyoshi Teppei to be complete.
But overall, it was very consistent with the fans' predictions; Rakuzan's overall lineup was stronger than Kirisaki Daiichi's.
Of course, these were not the main event.
"Next, let's applaud Rakuzan's No. 4, Teikō's vice-captain, the Generation of Miracles' point guard, Akashi Seijūrō!"
He didn't say the strongest, because the Generation of Miracles now symbolizes the strongest.
Those four words were louder than any title.
The live DJ's introduction of Akashi didn't stop there; he also pointed out that Akashi was the only heir to the Akashi consortium and had been receiving training from a big family since he was a child.
Invisibly adding a dazzling halo to Akashi.
This is a true case of having to go home and inherit a billion-dollar family business if you don't play ball well.
Akashi ignored the cheers of the audience.
He walked to the technical statistics table first, then walked slowly onto the court.
Atmospheric, dignified, serious, calm, with a natural sense of nobility.
"And next up is."
The DJ paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and roared out.
"Kirisaki Daiichi's No. 14, the Generation of Miracles' captain, the strongest high school student in the country, also a superstar in the modeling world, the heartthrob, Tian Lizi!!!"
The scene instantly erupted with extremely high decibels.
Tian Lizi's fans screamed their lungs out one by one.
"Your teammates are really amazing."
"That's right; even if you put basketball aside, these two people can be called dragons and phoenixes among men."
Seirin's people sat in the audience, looking at the two focuses on the court with complex eyes.
Unlike Akashi's dignified atmosphere, Tian Lizi always felt so confident, confident to the point of arrogance, which complemented his flamboyant personality.
The only thing the two had in common was probably their domineering aura.
"In any category, they are worthy of being called dragons and phoenixes among men."
A very strange feeling.
Seirin's people actually felt that it was normal for these two people to meet in the finals.
No one was more suitable to stand on this stage than these two.
"This day has finally arrived; just as I inferred, the person who finally came before me would only be you, Tiandao Jingyan."
The appearance of both sides was finished, looking at each other across the center line.
"Don't get it wrong, Akashi; you are the challenger."
No one else spoke, all looking at their respective leaders.
The conversation between the two seemed ordinary, but it was another matter in the ears of the other eight players.
Both were occupying the initiative, thinking the other was the challenger.
"Then let me see your basketball, Tiandao Jingyan."
Akashi no longer argued about such meaningless things.
Everything had to be seen on the court.
The referee only then remembered to inbound the ball, having been shocked by the aura of the two.
"What's wrong with these two little brats? Their aura is stronger than those professional players."
He wiped away non-existent cold sweat and blew the whistle to signal the start of the match.
Akashi took a step back, leaving the stage to Nebuya Eikichi.
Tian Lizi didn't, going directly to Nebuya Eikichi.
"Tian Lizi wants to jump for the ball?"
"This..."
Although Tian Lizi's jumping ability was indeed the strongest in Kirisaki Daiichi, and he had played center, and had been responsible for jump balls against Tōō's opponents.
But those were low-probability things; under normal circumstances, he would leave the position to Seto Kentarō. ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
