Chapter 33
The players of Teiko Middle School slowly got off the bus. The reporters with a keen sense of smell rushed forward like sharks smelling blood, surrounding Bai Ze and others. However, the coach and other staff members did not show any weakness. They pushed the reporters hard and would never allow them to interfere with the game of Teiko Middle School. Now is a crucial moment, and these people must not be allowed to distract the players and affect their mentality. With the strenuous efforts of the coach and security personnel, the players of Teiko Middle School finally successfully entered the stadium. When they arrived at the locker room of Teiko Middle School, everyone immediately began to change their jerseys. The whole atmosphere was still a bit dull. After all, they were about to face such a strong opponent in the finals, and they were inevitably nervous.
At this moment, May suddenly spoke: "Everyone should play well. If we win the game, I will reward everyone with honey lemonade made by myself!" May's tone was full of excitement, because this was a gift she had carefully prepared for a long time. In order to make these honey lemonades, she got up early in the morning and worked hard.
Hearing May's words, everyone's faces instantly became very ugly, and even a trace of fear appeared on their faces.
"Isn't this an attempt to murder us?" Qingfeng looked at May with contempt, his eyes fixed on May, and his eyes revealed deep fear and fear. His voice trembled, as if he was afraid that May would suddenly take some action.
"Alas, May, I suddenly lost the desire to win the game!" Murasakibara Atsuya took several steps back in the direction of May. Once, he was full of eager anticipation for the food made by May, but in the end, he fell to the ground. The feeling was much more uncomfortable than eating shit. Although he had never really tasted shit, he firmly believed that it should be similar to the feeling at this moment.
Akashi also sighed and did not dare to make any comments easily. After all, he was the only one who had never suffered such torture. Recalling the miserable state of other companions being tortured to death, he immediately chose to give up the attempt. Looking back now, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on how wise his decision was at that time!
Bai Ze thought of the scene at that time. A whole piece of lemon appeared directly in the full cup, and even the slices were forgotten. In Bai Ze's view, the drink was as scary as green bubbles, but he couldn't resist May's expectant eyes. She was so looking forward to Bai Ze drinking the honey lemonade she made by herself!
May stood there, facing the reactions of the crowd, she was very confused. She originally just wanted to bring some delicious food to everyone, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big response. She tried to explain, but everyone was already in a panic and couldn't listen to her at all.
May felt a little aggrieved and pouted her little mouth.
Bai Ze saw it and said quickly: "May, actually you are not bad."
Listening to Bai Ze comforting herself, May couldn't help but swear in her heart that she must work harder to improve her cooking skills in the future, and let Bai Ze enjoy the food she made. As for others, they can't eat it.
With the topic opened by May, the atmosphere in the locker room gradually relaxed, and everyone became active, talking and laughing.
"Okay, everyone, get ready for this game. It should be noted that we have lost to Rokko Junior High School before! Last year, they easily defeated us with only two other five players! This year, Watanabe Yuta has recovered from his serious injury, and his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, Kawamura Yuki and Hachimura Rui have also joined Rokko Junior High School, so this year they will only be stronger than last year!" Nijimura Shuzo said in a calm tone, but deep in his heart he was still brooding over last year's failure and was dissatisfied.
"Minister, please believe us, this year's championship will definitely belong to us!" Bai Ze stood up suddenly, waving his clenched fist vigorously, and assured Nijimura Shuzo in a confident tone.
Seeing this, the other players also stood up and echoed in unison: "Yes, yes, Minister, you must believe in us!"
"Teiko will win!"
"Okay, okay, now let's talk about the players of Rokko Middle School in detail," Shirogane Kozo interrupted after hearing that everyone was aroused.
, "First of all, their starting point guard, Kawamura Yuki, is currently the top point guard in the country. He has an excellent overall view and vision, and he is also an offensive point guard with very strong offensive ability. Akashi, I hope you can better cut off his connection with his teammates, understand!"
Shirogane Kozo's tone was not doubtful, but he expected Akashi to give him a definite answer. Akashi answered without hesitation: "Absolutely no problem, coach!" His voice was full of confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. Although Kawamura Yuki was slightly taller than him, this did not affect his confidence at all.
Then, when Shirogane Kozo mentioned shooting guard Mibuchi Reo, he didn't need to say much, because he firmly believed that Midorima Shintaro could easily beat his opponent in three-pointers. Midorima Shintaro pushed his glasses slightly, then nodded gently, indicating that he was fully prepared.
Later, when talking about small forward Yuta Watanabe, Shirogane Kozo cast his eyes on Shirazawa and placed high hopes on him: "Shirazawa, I hope you can completely block him and even show higher efficiency on the offensive end!" Shirazawa felt the coach's trust and his eyes became firm.
For power forward Nagayoshi Netaketani, Shirogane Kozo believes that Aomine and Nijimura both have the ability to surpass him. However, special attention should be paid to Nagayoshi Netaketani's active performance in the penalty area. He is likely to build an indestructible defense with center Rui Hachimura. Therefore, Aomine must break through their defense like Shirazawa!
Finally, Shirogane Kozo encouraged all the players and said: "Okay, kids, it's not easy for us to get to this point today. Let's go all out and strive for a worthy result for our hard work during this period!" His words inspired every player. Everyone knew the importance of this game and was determined not to let their efforts go to waste.
Shirogane Kozo said everything he wanted to say in one breath, and then he looked at the group of students quietly. He believed that these children would definitely win.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the locker room of Rokko Junior High School was also extremely tense. They also knew a little about Teiko Junior High School, which has become famous recently. Although they successfully defeated Teiko last year, this year's team is obviously stronger! Although the first-year freshmen are new, who dares to regard them as ordinary novices?
Mibuchi Reo sat quietly on the stool, bending down to tie his shoelaces tightly. Facing his upcoming opponent Midorima Shintaro, he felt tremendous pressure.
Every time he saw that green figure never missed a shot on the basketball court, Mibuchi Reo would feel a surge of fear in his heart. This guy is simply not like a human!
However, for his reputation as the top shooter in junior high school, Mibuchi Reo would never give up easily. He knew the importance of this game. It was not only about the honor of the team, but also a key battle to defend his own dignity and strength. He secretly made up his mind to go all out, perform at his best, and let everyone see his true strength.
"Reo, relax, don't be so nervous, we have your back! Just go forward and attack boldly, you are the top shooter in our country's middle schools!" Kawamura Yuki smiled, gently patted Mibuchi Reo's shoulder, and comforted him in a gentle tone.
"That's right, just shoot with confidence, we have two people to help you grab rebounds!" Hachimura Rui showed a simple and honest smile, and pointed at Netake Nagayoshi standing next to him.
When Netakeya Eikichi saw Hachimura Rui pointing at him, he immediately showed off his strong muscles with pride and shouted shamelessly: "Hehe, you can relax. I've been thirsty for a long time looking at my strong muscles!"
Mibuchi Reo stared at Netakeya Eikichi's scary muscles with disgust, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he was still very grateful for everyone's care and encouragement.
He took a deep breath, then clenched his fists passionately, raised his arms and shouted: "Comrades, come on! Rokko team will definitely win!" His shout inspired every teammate like a war drum.
"Rokko will win!" The other players also responded one after another, and their voices were uniform and resounded throughout the locker room.
