I checked and noticed the translation issue; it was actually in Chapter 98, while Chapter 99 is correct. Sorry about that. I've already fixed the problem, but don't worry, it's not an error that affects the story.
...
Round 1 of the Round Robin.
Homi Academy's opponent was their old rival from last year, Tōhō.
There was no "enemies meeting with bloodshot eyes."
The moment they encountered Homi Academy, or rather Yuuto, they already knew the result.
Many of Tōhō's members from last year were no longer on the bench.
Some had advanced to high school.
Some couldn't bear the blow of the huge gap in strength and chose to leave the court forever.
These people.
Were not remembered by any fan; their departure was just a departure.
Game 1.
Game 2.
Under Yuuto's leadership, Homi Academy easily completed two consecutive victories, holding Tochigi Prefecture's only qualifying spot in their hands.
Next, only the main National Tournament awaited them.
This is the last year of the middle school story between Yuuto and the Generation of Miracles.
No matter what, he didn't want to leave himself any regrets.
...
Half a month of rest and reorganization time.
Yuuto, who had completed two more simulations, provided the anxious coach with some tactical ideas.
"Is it really okay to do this?"
"Don't worry, Coach, it will definitely work."
Yuuto learned a conclusion through so many simulations.
It is too difficult, too difficult to guard against Teiko's offense.
Their five starting players can each hold their own. If not for Yuuto, the Generation of Miracles would be the best players in the five positions in this era.
Since they can't be guarded, then fight them head-on with firepower.
Homi Academy's current five starters can all shoot.
As long as he can deliver the ball to the teammate in the best position in time.
On this basis, they also need to integrate a large number of cuts.
The offensive end must be "dynamic" enough.
"Okay, in that case, let's try it."
The geezer coach didn't actually understand it very well.
He just simply felt that Yuuto's tactical ideas were incredibly novel.
The tactic of "One Star, Four Shooters" already exists now.
In the last two years.
The Beast (Dwight Howard) gradually entered his career peak. The Magic equipped Howard with multiple perimeter shooters based on his strong rim protection ability.
That Magic team's style of play can be summarized like this:
Shoot three-pointers when there's a chance. It doesn't matter if they miss; Howard will protect the rebound, and then the perimeter will continue to shoot until it goes in.
If the opponent expands the defensive area under pressure, then the ball can be lobbed into the paint, letting Howard abuse the rim directly.
But this is "One Star, Four Shooters" with the Beast as the defensive core.
The "One Star, Four Shooters" proposed by Yuuto now is to maximize space.
Even Oyamada Masataka in the paint is pulled out to the three-point line. Then Yuuto attempts to sprint through the opponent's defense line, and finally passes the ball to the open teammate in time.
It's troublesome to explain, involving a lot of off-ball movement and dynamic offense concepts.
Simply translated, it is the ultimate version of "Drive and Kick."
Such tactics are very novel, including the subsequent "Cut" tactics.
Of course.
After all, this is one of the specialties of the Cavaliers and Warriors (in the future).
The geezer coach immediately arranged for the team members to practice.
He felt that such tactics had good feasibility.
Because everyone doesn't understand it, naturally, they can't find a way to deal with it.
Of course.
He wasn't completely unprepared.
He also had an ace tactic in his heart.
When all tactics are useless, that's the moment for him to appear.
He would request a timeout first, and then shout to the team members:
"Give that damn basketball to Yuuto!"
...
Just like this.
Half a month passed in a flash.
In these fifteen days, the geezer coach didn't arrange physical training or targeted practice for the team members.
He found teams within the prefecture to polish the team's tactics.
Tochigi Prefecture people are very united.
The next day after receiving the call, they came to Homi Academy to cooperate with them in refining tactics.
They all hope that Homi Academy can bring the championship trophy back to Okukozome, back to Tochigi Prefecture.
Let those proud city people take a good look; they are not easy to bully!
Then.
The National Tournament opened.
Kanagawa, Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium.
This is an indoor gymnasium located in Yokohama, Kanagawa.
The stadium has hosted numerous competitions, including but not limited to sumo, judo, basketball, badminton, volleyball, etc.
This is a key gymnasium located in the city center.
Even if it's just the opening ceremony.
It also attracted tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans from all over the country.
Some are true fans, while others have other purposes.
For example, the little beauty beside them is a fan, so several boys immediately jumped out to act as flower protectors.
When Homi Academy's bus drove into the arena, it was greeted by the enthusiastic cheers of fans.
Their game against Teiko in the National Tournament last year was regarded as the most exciting game in recent years.
But more cheers came from behind them.
That was the bus belonging to Teiko...
Two consecutive National Tournament championships, Generation of Miracles, the only SS-level team in the National Tournament.
With many halos added, Teiko became the most watched team in the country, bar none.
Under the gaze of fans.
They drove into the stadium parking lot almost simultaneously and stopped at almost the same position.
"Long time no see, Yuuto."
Akashi was the first to get off.
Homi Academy's bus was parked opposite them.
When Yuuto brought his teammates down, Akashi showed the calm smile of a winner and greeted Yuuto.
"Also, Tetsuya and Haizaki..."
"Long time no see, Akashi-kun."
Kuroko was normal, greeting Akashi calmly.
But Haizaki, his whole face darkened.
He thought of some bad memories.
Being able to greet him without changing his expression after such things happened.
This proves that Akashi never looked at him straight in the eye.
"It has been a while, Second Young Master of the Akashi Consortium." Yuuto never fell behind in this regard, mocking Akashi's second personality.
Others didn't understand.
Including Satsuki and the others, they were curious about what this "Second Young Master" meant.
As far as they knew, the Akashi Consortium had only one heir.
He is Akashi Seijuro, the current basketball club captain of Teiko.
But Akashi, after hearing the words "Second Young Master," his eyes instantly scraped towards Yuuto like knives.
But who is Yuuto?
His Spirit attribute has been increased to nearly 140.
The previous simulation allowed him to level up again. His current Spirit attribute has reached a terrifying 138 points.
When Akashi stared at him, he was also staring at Akashi.
There was an invisible aura colliding between the two; other players of the two teams were too scared to speak.
"So scary, is that person Teiko's captain, Akashi Seijuro?"
"Mhm, that's him."
Teiko's newcomers were about the same.
"Is that the Lion of Okukozome?"
"So scary."
Both sides' members were submissive; seeing the opposing captain, they felt they were not to be trifled with.
Fujimura Kentaro was also in the team.
But this year he didn't say any superfluous words.
Some reporters ambushing in the parking lot noticed this scene.
They hurriedly took pictures and planned to publish them tomorrow; the title was already thought out.
Quite fitting the appetite of young people, with a touch of chunibyo: "The Second Impact"!
