Black Basketball: Before The Miracle Happened, I Had Already Won The Championship

Teikō Junior High’s devilish training finally entered the adjustment and recovery period one week before the start of the Tokyo District Qualifiers.

Shigure Akito also successfully completed the upgrade of the first player's attributes. After carefully comparing various attributes, he finally chose to upgrade 'Kiyota Nobunaga' first.

From D→C, all attributes of Kiyota Nobunaga increased by 6 points.

For Shigure Akito himself, after combining all the players he has acquired and taking the highest value after comparing each attribute of all players, the current attributes are...

This makes Shigure Akito even more looking forward to the next All-China Competition.

…

In a blink of an eye.

The opening day of the Tokyo District Qualifiers.

Shigure Akito is at the front of the Teikō team, and at the front is coach Naoto Sanada, who leads the team in the qualifiers. At this time, everyone has not yet entered the venue and is still in the player tunnel.

As usual, Coach Sanada turned around and formed a circle with his players before entering the battlefield.

"The No. 1 seed in Tokyo is of course not a problem!"

"But don't be careless!"

"Then……"

"Don't forget our ultimate goal!"

With coach Sanada and captain Masaaki Ohzo taking the lead in extending their hands, all the regular players in the game, including Shigure Akito and Shuzo Nijimura, all extended their hands and gathered together!

Ozo Masaaki shouted loudly:

"ah!!"

"The goal is..."

Everyone’s voices followed closely!

"National Champion!"

"..."

"National Champion!"

"National Champion!"

This is a fierce team of Teikō players, all wearing their iconic white uniforms.

The strong belief in victory spread from the player tunnel to the ears of all teams before the front end had even entered the field and the end had just entered the tunnel.

follow closely.

Off to war.

When Shigure Akito stepped out of the tunnel, the incandescent lights of the arena fell in front of him for the first time.

Ahead...

The sound of basketball.

The sound of sneakers scraping against the floor.

and cheers from various school cheering groups.

All kinds of enthusiastic voices came one after another!

All of this gave Shigure Akito, who had never personally participated in a formal event of this scale, a feeling of electric shock. He had never thought that so many players would come to the scene just for the regional qualifiers. And there are so many spectators in the stands.

On the side, Hongcun Xiuzou was only in the first grade after all, and no matter how much he tried to hide it, he could not hide his excitement.

At this moment, Nijimura Shuzo suddenly heard Shigure Akito beside him exhale.

Then, a low whisper reached his ears.

"The first crown in the first grade..."

"It starts here."

…

The construction of Hongcun can always be felt.

Shigure Akito, a peer of his age, has a vague calmness about not caring about winning on the court.

Rather than winning, this guy at certain times showed an overwhelming hunger for ‘opponent’, ‘situation’, ‘content’ and even ‘data’, other things other than victory.

for example.

In some training games, he will be particularly keen on 'blocking shots'.

Sometimes, he was obviously not very interested in the training match, but once he arrived at the scene, his opponent didn't know what aroused his interest, and he suddenly went on the court happily and scored like crazy.

seem……

After completing these, he will be able to get something from it.

But since joining Teikō, during the time when they were barely getting along harmoniously, Nijimura Shuzo felt more and more that Shigure Akito was concerned about ‘victory’...

He's just arrogant, treating 'winning' as a by-product of his pursuit of something else on the court, and oddly enough, getting better.

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

It starts from the moment when I realize that I am very strong, and from the moment when I realize that I can definitely make further progress as long as I work hard and make progress.

Wouldn't it be too boring if it was just me?

Nijimura Shuzo glanced at Shigure Akito, looking at the other person's excited expression.

"ha……"

It's a bit satisfying.

The strength of the opponent makes people feel a little relaxed.
