Chapter 71

Having won the match, everyone was very happy afterward.

Aomine was especially obvious; his smile never stopped, and he kept shouting that he would definitely score more points than Tiandao in the next match.

Tiandao sneered and spat out three English letters, "M, V, P!"

Aomine instantly went silent.

It was like this: during daily training before, Aomine lost a one-on-one to Tiandao and boasted that he would win the MVP for the first match against Kaicheng Middle School.

The result was obvious; Tiandao Jingyan won the best player of the match.

The prefectural tournament also has statistics for awards like best player.

If Tiandao continues his high-light performance in the upcoming matches, he is highly likely to become the second first-year to win the prefectural tournament MVP.

Who was the first?

It just so happens to be their captain, Nijimura Shuzo.

Last year, Nijimura Shuzo became the best player in the Tokyo region with comprehensive data of 26 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 2 steals per game, and was selected for the best lineup.

Now he has become a candidate for the strongest power forward in the country!

While bickering with Aomine, not long after walking out of the locker room, the Teikou people ran into Hara Zawakede.

He first greeted his senior, Baijin Kozo, very politely.

"Long time no see, Senior Baijin!"

Both had been selected for the national team, just not in the same year; Baijin Kozo was earlier than Hara Zawakede, so calling him "senior" was perfectly fine.

"Here to look for Nijimura again?"

"Yes." Hara Zawakede didn't hide it, but after glancing at Tiandao, he added, "If possible, I'd like to have a chat with Tiandao-kun as well."

Whoa, his ambition is not small.

Baijin Kozo's eyes were subtle; this was the rhythm of trying to pull Baijin Yongzhi's Rakuzan off its horse.

"I won't consider joining any high school for the time being; I just want to focus on the National Tournament now."

"So, sorry, Mr. Hara!"

Nijimura Shuzo politely declined.

He had already accepted many such invitations over the past year.

This is not a professional league, let alone the NBA; there is no draft.

The only way to reinforce a team is for the coach to scout players themselves.

But this method tests a coach's training ability and is far less effective than directly sending invitations to geniuses.

After all, geniuses are players who have already proven themselves.

In this regard, Taoka Moichi from Slam Dunk is actually quite capable.

He trained the average-talented Uozumi Jun and Fukuda into first-class prefectural level players.
