Chapter 485

The end of an era is often accompanied by the start of a brand new era.

Shirogane Eiji stood on the sidelines, his expression unchanged.

During his time coaching Rakuzan, he had experienced too many storms.

He can afford to win, and he can also afford to lose.

It's just that this failure is different from all the previous ones.

This year's Rakuzan is definitely the strongest in history, without a doubt.

Yet they lost to their opponent by 20 points in the finals!

20 points!

He has been in charge of Rakuzan for twenty or thirty years, and has been working for Rakuzan ever since he retired.

Even during Rakuzan's lowest point, he couldn't remember a single match where they lost so thoroughly.

Rakuzan is the high school hegemon; the basketball club has never lacked geniuses, and the lineup has always been top-tier in the country.

Many times when Rakuzan lost, it was due to luck.

Today...

"Sigh."

Shirogane Eiji sighed.

A monster has truly appeared in this year's high school basketball scene, a real monster!

On the court.

The Kirisaki Daichi players were reveling.

"We really won."

Hara Kazuya still felt a bit dreamlike even after the match ended.

A year ago, they were still a team that took pleasure in bullying people, never caring about winning or losing, and never thinking about winning the national tournament championship.

As a result, all of this just happened, so suddenly.

He felt his own changes and the team's changes.

And the cause of all these changes was simply the addition of one person.

Looking at that number 14 back, Hara Kazuya lifted his long bangs and smiled.

"This feeling isn't bad either!"

Compared to Kirisaki Daichi, Rakuzan appeared extremely dejected.

"This is the feeling of defeat."

Akashi was panting heavily, standing on the court motionless, as if he hadn't yet walked out of the failure.

He suddenly had the urge to find a tree hole and scream his heart out without restraint. His heart was filled with unwillingness, a feeling that could not be described in words.

"To think it would be... so painful, so profound."

Akashi took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.

He knew he still had things left unfinished.

As the captain of Rakuzan, he must show his demeanor.

As a friend of Tiandao, he had to go and congratulate the other party on winning the victory.

"You won, Tiandao. No, it's you, Kirisaki Daichi, who won!"

Akashi raised his head and walked to Tiandao; even though he lost by 20 points, this young master did not lower his noble head.

"Let's play basketball together again next time."

Tiandao reached out his hand to shake his; his hair was soaked, sticking to his skin, only his eyes remained bright.

It actually had a bit of Gojo Satoru's crazy style.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."

Thunderous applause rang out at the scene, cheering for the wonderful performance of both teams.

It was also at this moment that golden rain began to fall at the scene; Tiandao was just about to go over to shake hands with Shirogane Eiji, but turned his head and saw Kise taking Satsuki out.

"Little Tian, look here, look here." Satsuki closed one eye and held the camera toward herself.
