LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 17: 16.Miracle
After finishing his speech, Shigeichi Tanaka began to announce the starting lineup for today's game : "Center: Uozumi, "Power
forward: Ikegami, "Small forward: Uesugi Kenichi, "Shooting guard: Sendoh, "Point guard: Uekusa." This is the strongest starting lineup for Ryonan so far, and it is also the first game they have started together . It mainly
depends on how well Uesugi Kenichi works with the other players! Soon, Shigeichi Tanaka led all the players of Ryonan to the basketball court . Except for the players of Luoan and some staff members, there were no other idle people in the entire basketball court. At this time, the Luoan players
gathered together to chat, without the tension of the upcoming battle. Seeing the arrival of the Ryonan team, they just glanced at them casually and didn't care too much. In their opinion, it was their honor that an unknown team like Ryonan could play against
them ; how could Ryonan be qualified to be their opponents ? As the absolute king of the Kyoto area, Luoan 's status here is like that of Kainan in Kanagawa. Although Kyoto's overall strength is relatively weak, with only one place to participate in the national competition every year, they have kept this place firmly in their hands in recent years, never giving any chance to other Kyoto
teams. Thus, they have no interest in a team like Ryonan that has never participated in the national competition. If it weren't for the coach 's reputation , they might not be willing to play this game. Coach Kasahara on the side shook his head repeatedly when he saw his players behave like this. Although he also believed that Ryonan was no threat to Luoan, after all, Shigeka Takaoka was his
senior . The players' behavior was really embarrassing for his senior! But he had no good solution ; these kids were usually like that - unruly and sometimes very rude . Even though they were better now under his request, they still couldn't hide their bad behavior.
Coach Kasahara shook his head helplessly . Fortunately, he didn't notify any outsiders to come watch the game . Even if Ryonan lost, at least it wouldn't embarrass Senior Takaoka! After Tanaka and Kasahara shook hands, the training match between the two sides began. Ryonan's starting lineup
was the one that Tanaka arranged in the locker room. To show respect, Luoan's coach Kasahara also fielded Luoan's full main lineup, including center Shiramizu Lunsheng , power forward Takahashi Susumu, small forward Fukaohara, shooting guard Takai Akihiro, and point guard Aida
Hideusuke. After everyone stepped onto the court, Luoan's players noticed Ryonan's center Yuzumi was exceptionally tall . "Wow! This guy is so tall!" "Yeah! I didn't notice it before; he's almost 200 cm !" "Well, what's the use of being tall? Watch me dunk over
him later!" Luoan's center Baishui Lunsheng said . Although his words sounded very domineering, he felt quite unsure in his heart. Even in the national competition, he rarely encountered such a tall center . Looking at Yuzumi's fierce face, it seemed he was not an
easy opponent to deal with. What Baishui Lunsheng didn't know was that his boastful words were overheard by
Yuzumi , who stood beside him . "If you want to dunk over my head, then let's see if you have the ability to do it!" Soon, players from both sides took their positions and stood firm. Kenichi Uesugi realized that the guy facing him was the flat -
headed player who shouted at the entrance of the basketball hall that he had never heard of: Fukaohara . This is truly a narrow road for enemies . It seems he must perform well later ; otherwise ,
he would definitely disappoint Shigeichi Tanaka . Kenichi Uesugi glanced back, and indeed , he saw Shigeichi Tanaka watching Fukaohara beside
him, wearing a ferocious expression on his face . It looked very scary! "Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle .
The game started .
Luo'an team's center Bai Shui Lunsheng jumped up quickly to fight for the ball .
But as he jumped, a huge figure instantly enveloped him .
Yuzumi leaped high in front of him,
then used his massive palm to take the lead and strike the basketball toward Uekusa.
Bai Shui Lunsheng gazed at Yuzumi's enormous palm,
and suddenly , a strange thought crossed his mind :
"I wonder if it will hurt if such a large palm hits my face!"
On the other side,
Uekusa passed the ball again as soon as he received Yuzumi's pass
because he had already seen Uesugi Kenichi start to move in advance .
It seemed that he, like himself,
had great confidence in Yuzumi's jump ball ability.
As Kenichi Uesugi ran to the three-point line,
Uekusa's pass arrived simultaneously.
Without any hesitation, he caught the ball, jumped up, and shot-
all in one motion .
It was Sakurai Ryo's quick shot!
Fukaohara, who was standing opposite Kenichi Uesugi, was just about to speak,
but before he could say anything,
he saw Kenichi Uesugi jump up the moment he received the ball.
In panic,
he wanted to intercept,
but he didn't even have time to raise his hand.
The basketball in Kenichi Uesugi's hand had already flown away .
"Such a hasty shot, it's definitely not going in..."
"Swish!"
The sound of the basketball passing through the net was clearly heard!
Fukaohara was stunned.
What's going on?
This is too fast!
From receiving the ball to scoring,
it only took about 1 second.
I haven't even raised my hand yet!
Is it really that fast ?
Not only Fukaohara,
other players on the Luoan court were equally shocked.
From Yuzumi's jump ball victory
to Uesugi Kenichi's quick shot,
it only took 3 seconds .
Such efficiency is truly impressive !
Even Luoan's center Bai Shui Lunsheng was still dazed in the center circle!
The ball had already flown into the basket!
If the timer on the sidelines hadn't displayed 19:57,
they would never believe such a thing!
What a joke !
3 points in 3 seconds ;
then in 1 minute , it must be 60 points!
