Aomine Daiki In Shohoku: The Beginning

At this time.

Shoyo High School.

Basketball Hall.

The lights are on.

The basketball hall, which should be full of energy, is now a little lifeless.

The basketball team members are sitting together.

The schedule of the selection competition is spread on the ground in front of them.

Everyone's expression is a little stiff as they stare at the opponent of the next game.

Shohoku!

This team, which used to be eliminated in the first round in previous years, has reached the quarterfinals this year against everyone's expectations!

And they won every game with a net score of 100 points.

Not just ordinary strong!

Point guard, Miyagi Ryota, has good speed, passing vision and good breakthrough ability.

Point guard, Hisashi Mitsui, the junior high school MVP, can still maintain the first echelon of three-point shooters even after disappearing for two years.

Small forward, Kaede Rukawa, is rated as a super rookie besides Shin Izumi, with super scoring ability, and is a strong player who is almost an ace player in other teams.

Center, Akagi Takenori, captain of Shohoku Basketball Team, the soul pillar of Shohoku, skilled in the basket, one of the top centers in Kanagawa.

Even so.

Shoyo also felt that it was nothing. He had watched the game and had a general understanding. Although there was a good performance, it was not completely helpless.

This was not the real reason for their frowns.

What gave them a headache was Shin Izumi.

Shohoku's starting power forward.

The offensive performance was really unsolvable. One person scored more than 80 points in ten minutes? This was something they could not imagine.

Last year.

Sendoh was also rated as a super rookie and an absolute scoring maniac, but compared with Shin Izumi? It felt a bit like a small witch meeting a big witch.

The scene at this time was a bit awkward for a while, and no one spoke.

Fujima tapped his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes, thinking about something.

I don't know how long it took.

He opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.

"Huh!!"

"Relax, at least we know our opponents in advance."

As soon as he said this, everyone in Shoyo turned to look at him.

No one spoke, as if waiting for Fujima's arrangement.

Fujima put a picture of the entire Shohoku team on the ground.

After looking around, he slowly said.

"Shohoku's newcomer Shin Izumi is very powerful. I'm afraid no one in our Shoyo can match him in singles."

Everyone in Shoyo:...

This?

Even Fujima said this? Some of them couldn't believe their ears.

In terms of fame, Fujima is a well-deserved star player in Kanagawa. In terms of strength, he is also one of the top players in Kanagawa.

But now he openly said that no one in Shoyo can match Shohoku, the first-year rookie, in singles?

It made their already heavy mood even heavier.

Fujima looked at the shocked and desperate expressions of the crowd, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.

He knew how the players would feel when he said this.

Just like on the battlefield, when two armies go to war, the general of one side actually bows his head and admits defeat?

This has a great impact on morale.

But Shin Izumi showed his unparalleled scoring ability, which everyone knows, but they just can't get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Don't want to believe it, this is the fact.

Shohoku's freshman is awesome in single combat.

"But they also have several obvious weaknesses, and we Shoyo can just restrain them."

Then Fujima looked at the Shoyo players with a smile.

As soon as this was said.

The originally quiet gym suddenly made a buzzing sound of discussion.

"I said, the captain must have a way to deal with it."

"In my opinion, Shohoku is nothing great, except for that No. 11."

"Captain, tell me what tactics you have?"

......

Fujima's originally bent spine straightened up, and his expression became serious.

The gym, which was originally chattering, became quiet again.

Fujima has a high prestige in the Shoyo basketball team. He is not only the captain, but also the acting coach. He is usually gentle and elegant, but once he talks about business, he is like a different person. The players are still a little afraid.

"I don't know if you have noticed that although Shohoku's No. 10 is quite tall and has good attainments in rebounding, his playing style and basic skills show that he is a beginner."

"And No. 7, Miyagi Ryota, although he has lightning speed, his height determines that he must be a big sieve on the defensive end."

"These two people are our hope to break through Shohoku!"

Hearing Fujima's words, everyone in Shoyo nodded repeatedly.

A beginner and a short man are not a big threat to them.

"Ito, you will be the starting point guard in tomorrow's game, facing Miyagi Ryota. Remember, try not to let him attack the inside, and don't let him shoot from mid-range. Even if he breaks through the inside, don't worry. His height won't give him any advantage against Hanagata and others under the basket. Just use the height difference to take advantage of him on the offensive end, and don't get entangled with him."

"Got it! Leave it to me!"

Across from Fujima, Taku Itou was very excited.

This is the starting player. At this time last year, he was not only a substitute, but he didn't even have many opportunities to play.
