"What a hassle..." Aomine muttered quietly.

He was also upset.

After all... he was Touou's 'ace'.

"Oh my, you're a grown man and you're crying. Really... I didn't expect a hot-tempered man to cry." Imayoshi Shoichi comforted Wakamatsu.

Seeing Wakamatsu still crying, he once again showed his captain's style and shouted: "What are you doing? We lost in the first game! If you have time to be sad, you might as well go back to practice."

Sakurai's eyes widened.

His eyes turned red...

This was natural.

The seniors were already in the third year... This was the last tournament for them.

How could they... not feel anything!

How could the seniors not feel bad for not winning the championship?

"But... I'm not suitable to be the captain, and I don't know how to manage normally." Wakamatsu suppressed his inner sadness and looked at Aomine with embarrassment.

Imayoshi Sho followed Wakamatsu's gaze and understood the reason.

He knew... Wakamatsu didn't hate Aomine that much anymore, but Wakamatsu felt that he couldn't suppress Aomine.

"Don't mind it, he has changed a long time ago..." Imayoshi Sho paused, then continued, "Who do you think is the most suitable 'ace' for the team?"

"... Aomine."

"Just remember this and it'll be fine. I feel relieved to leave it to you."

"Okay, don't put on such a heavy expression." Imayoshi Sho looked at the young people who could still continue the game.

Seirin lounge -

The substitute players had already packed up and looked at Reiko Aida who was waiting at the door: "Huh? Hasn't the coach packed up yet?"

"Well... I also want to go back early... But let's wait for them for a while." Reiko Aida looked inside with a gentle look.

The starting players, Kagami, Kuroko, Kiyoshi Teppei, Hinata, Izuki Shun and others, were lying on the ground in all directions...

All sleeping and resting.

The first match is over, Seirin High School Winter Cup preliminary round.

Successful breakthrough——

The winner was decided in the afternoon match, but there was a team that was not happy after winning, but frowned instead...

Kumamoto's Senba team.

They successfully defeated the powerful player selected from the Chiba area - Muranodai, and advanced to the next round.

Their coach sat in the lounge, looking unhappy.

Because they will face... the champion of the summer season tomorrow morning.

The most popular Kaijo High School!

Facing elimination in the second match, how could they be happy...

Senba was still planning to advance to the top 16, but now they are directly facing a high mountain.

How can they dig it out?

Not only the coach was silent, but the other players who were standing, leaning against the wall, and sitting on the benches were all silent.

It's not that they don't talk, but they don't want to talk.

The sound of the clock hand on the wall beating "tick-tick...tick-tick" was clearly audible.

The coach looked at his players, hesitant to speak...

"Ah..." He sighed and said to the players: "I don't ask you to win, just try your best."

"Gather at the bus stop after packing up, I'll wait for you there." Then he left first.

He wanted to go out and smoke a cigarette to relieve his emotions.

After a long time, a player murmured: "Hai Chang... How to play?"

"'Unbeaten myth', this is not something that ordinary people can have."

"Who can beat him? The so-called 'God of War'" Other players spoke one after another, releasing the depression that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time.

Yes, the Hai Chang they met is not only a championship team, but also has the 'God of War' Songcheng, who is currently ranked first in comprehensive strength!

Xianbo's captain Zhongshan Xue picked up his shoulder bag and walked out the door.

He had packed his belongings.

He walked to the door and stopped.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Although I am very unwilling, since we have come to the Winter Cup, we will meet the champion Hai Chang anyway, it's just a matter of time."

Center Fukuda Daigo frowned slightly and replied, "That's right, but..."

"No buts, no matter who it is, just keep playing, I don't want to embarrass my parents."

"Anyway, I play basketball to be the pride of my parents. Even if I lose, I don't want to be a coward." After saying that, Zhongshan Xue has stepped out of here.

Zhongshan Xue's heart is eager to win, he wants to be the pride of his parents.

At the same time, he also knows how powerful Song Cheng is and how powerful Hai Chang is.

But this does not affect his playing basketball, because he doesn't play basketball to be a coward!

Instead of standing on the court and watching othersIt is better to try to face those strong players than to score goals.

"I also have dignity!" After walking out of the gymnasium, Nakayama Manabu clenched his fists.

At this time, in the Senba lounge, several regular players looked at each other.

Shooting guard Uchida Kaito nodded and said, "The senior is right. We have finally made it here. How can we retreat?

Whether it is for the honor of the region or for ourselves... I am ready to defeat Kaijo!"

Big talk?

That's right.

But this can also arouse the fighting spirit of the team!

The other players in Kumamoto looked determined and nodded.

"Who cares! Just do it!"

"Why are you afraid of them? People who play basketball are all human beings. How can he not be a human being!" One by one, the players said what they dared not say at ordinary times, and put their fear of Kaijo behind their minds.

Elsewhere, in the Kaijo lounge——

They did not go back early, but quietly waited for the arrival of Coach Takeuchi.

Before every match, there will be a pre-match meeting. This is a long-standing habit of Takeuchi and also a custom of Kaijo.

"Tomorrow we will play against the Senba team in Kumamoto. There is no outstanding record... I will not study your playing style too much. Just follow your most smooth playing style."

"But I don't want you to relax too much!" Coach Takeuchi glared at Huang Lai who was performing "acrobatics".

"Yes!" The atmosphere in Kaijo's team was very relaxed.

How to say... Maybe it's because of underestimation.

Because I really can't get interested in the team that is about to face off, and there are only a few teams that can be regarded as enemies by Kaijo...

"Kasamatsu, come out with me."

After Coach Takeuchi left, Huang Lai and Kobori Hiroshi talked and laughed.

Walking in the corridor, Coach Takeuchi turned his back to Kasamatsu, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the ceiling...

Kasamatsu stood there and didn't speak.

Because the coach called me out, I didn't move and say anything.

I could only wait for the coach to speak.

"How do you feel about the next game?" Coach Takeuchi waited for a long time before turning to look at Kasamatsu.

"Relax..." Kasamatsu said frankly.

"What about the Rakusan team?"

"... There will be pressure, but this time we will never be like before!" Kasamatsu replied excitedly.

Coach Takeuchi looked at Kasamatsu's state and shook his head slightly.

"Don't be too nervous, don't let the so-called Grand Slam goal affect you, and play every game with a calm mind."

"I... know." Kasamatsu looked up and looked at the coach, wanting to say something, but finally held it back.

"Go back."

"Yes."

"Remember, you are the captain of Kaijo and their senior!" Coach Takeuchi shouted loudly after Kasamatsu turned around.

His voice was firm and full of righteousness.

Kasamatsu smiled slightly.

Coach... we are no longer who we were before.

We have already won the championship, who can defeat us...

Defeat our Hai Chang's will!
