Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 31 Cheng Lin’s Potential

"It sounds like Cheng Lin is not doing well right now."

Xiang Yang was a little gloating, Cheng Lin's current situation was indeed not optimistic.

There are 6 minutes left before the end of the first half.

At 32:25, Cheng Lin fell behind.

On the other hand, Showtoku was directly replaced by the coach after Midorima hit three three-pointers. However, even if Midorima is not around, Showtoku's overall strength can stabilize the opponent.

Seeing Midorima end the game, Xiang Yang was a little disappointed. The purpose of his visit today was to see how Midorima played, but it ended without seeing anything.

Kise saw Xiangyang's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I believe Xiao Heizi, he will not lose to Zhengbang, and he will definitely be able to bring out Xiao Midorima's true strength. Let you come here in vain.”

Xiang Yang glanced at Kise with a strange expression, he pointed in the direction of Cheng Rin and said.

"Kuroko and Kagami...seem to have come to an end."

"Hey??? What kind of plane is Cheng Lin planning?"

.

Cheng Lin applied for suspension
"Damn it, that bald guy..."

Vulcan was really irritated now. He was unexpectedly restrained by Zhengbang's first-year students. He only scored six points in the whole quarter.

When the bald man saw Vulcan's expression as if he wanted to kill him, he felt happy: This is the expression, it feels so good to torture people!

Suddenly, the bald man thought of something interesting. He grinned, walked over and said to Vulcan.

"Your seniors also entered the round-robin competition last year, but they were defeated by our Zhengbang by three times the point difference... What? Don't believe it? You can ask your seniors, hahahaha."

The bald man laughed even louder when he saw the incredulous expression on Vulcan's face.

Hinata heard the noise here and came over to check the situation.

"What's wrong? Vulcan."

Before Vulcan could speak, the bald man spoke first.

"Ah, it's okay. I'm just going to briefly tell your junior about the story of last year's qualifying round-robin. It's very exciting. But senior, you should know it better than me, so I won't tell you."

After saying that, the bald head left humming a little tune.

Hinata adjusted her glasses, and when he saw Kagami's expression, he roughly knew what was going on.

"Go back to the bench and rest for a while, Kagami."

Kagami said nothing and followed Hinata back to the bench with his head lowered.

Aida Reiko bit her nails, thinking about a way to break the game. When Kagami was restrained, Shirorin's entire offensive end was restricted. If it wasn't for Kuroko who could still pass the chance ball, Shirorin would have collapsed now.

Hinata glanced at Kagami and Kuroko, then winked at Reiko.

Reiko took a deep breath, she had no choice but to do this.

"Vulcan, Kuroko, you two should go out and rest first."

Heizi looked up in surprise. Do you want to replace them?

Kagami looked shocked and asked directly: "Nani? Coach, what are you talking about? I'll come down with Kuroko. What about the game?"

Before Reiko could say anything, Hinata said first: "Are you looking down on your senior? A first-year student! Listen up, in the next match against Shutoku, your and Kuroko's strength is indispensable. Midorima has already gone down to rest to conserve his energy. Well, even if you two continue to play in this game, what about the next one? You have to play two games today, you idiot."

Saying that, Hinata also pointed to Xiude who was playing in the next court. Midorima was indeed sitting on the bench with a raccoon doll next to him.

(Two games will be played on the last day of the national competition qualifiers.)
Hearing Hinata's words, Kagami was speechless for a moment, but he still insisted: "But if we lose this game, there will be no next game."

After saying that, Kagami stared at Reiko, hoping that she would change her mind.

Kuroko glanced at Kagami and said, "Kagami-san, I also think that we should conserve our physical strength. If we play against Midorima-san, there is no chance of winning if we don't have enough physical strength. And I believe in the seniors."

Hearing Kuroko's words, Kagami frowned and finally agreed to leave, but he requested that if he was far behind at the end of the first half, he would still play in the second half.

Hinata accepted Kagami's proposal and turned towards the court.

"Let's go, it's time for us to face it. If we keep relying on other people's words, we will always be like this."

Itsuki followed Hinata and joked: "What if I get beaten to pieces again? Mikichi isn't here this time. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I lose?"

A large part of the reason why Jorin was able to enter the round robin last year was because of their previous ace, Teppei Muyoshi, the five-time champion without a championship. However, due to excessive injuries, Muyoshi eventually missed the round robin, causing Jorin to be in a bad cycle. Saili was defeated by the other three teams, which is also the eternal pain in Hinata's heart.

Hinata took off her glasses and wiped them a few times, then said slowly: "One year... this year will definitely not be like last time. We can do it without Muji. If we don't even have this level, how can we still do it in front of the first graders?" Why do you call yourself senior?"

Yiyue smiled knowingly, yes, it was Muji who led them down last year, and this year it was also because Kagami and Kuroko were here, they seniors seemed to have no effect.

"What's going on? Those two first-year students are gone."

Captain Zhengbang said in surprise, even though he was at a disadvantage, why should he put down his main force to rest?

"They don't want to save their strength to deal with Xiude, do they? They look down on us too much."

The bald man walked directly to Hinata, pretending to be looking for someone, and said provocatively.

"Where is your first-year team? They just ran away because they felt they couldn't beat us, hahahaha. Doesn't it matter? If they weren't here, you would have lost three times the points difference again."

"It's so noisy, you damn monk."

Hinata turned around and glared fiercely. As a gangster, he still gave people a strong sense of oppression when he was angry.

The bald man took a step back in fright, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Why is this man with glasses so intimidating?

"You first-year students really don't know how to respect your seniors."

Hinata let out a breath: Look at Muji, this year will definitely not be like before. This year it is our turn to take you forward.

.

"Cheng Rin and these seniors have made great progress."

Kise was a little surprised. After all, they suppressed Shiro Rin in the last training match, and this was when Xiang Yang and Kise didn't get along well.As a result, this time when facing Zhengbang, they were able to fight back and forth, even Kagami and Kuroko did not play.

Xiangyang touched his chin and said nothing. Cheng Lin had made great progress and he was mentally prepared. After all, in less than a year, Cheng Lin had gone from a bad team to a national champion. It should be said that he was worthy of being the protagonist. .

At this time, Hinata was running wildly on the court, looking for opportunities to take action. Itsuki's passing was not bad either. Whenever Hinata ran out of space, his pass would always arrive immediately.

Itsuki made another long pass to Hinata on the other side of the court. Hinata took a slight breath, shot a three-pointer, and then took another three-pointer.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but praise: "Cheng Lin's point guard's vision is very good. I didn't feel it in the last training match."

Kise nodded in response: "That guy with glasses from Shirorin is also very accurate in his three-pointers. He seems to change into a different person when the score falls behind."

The two-personality key shooters Junpei Hinata, Eye of the Eagle Itsuki Toshi, plus Teppei Kiyoshi, the five-time champion who has not yet returned to the team.The Kagami Taiga who touched the heel level of the Generation of Miracles, the most special sixth person of the Age of Miracles, Kuroko Tetsuya.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Xiang Yang's eyes. This year's Cheng Lin is still too immature, but next year... no, by the time of the Winter Cup, they will be the sixth "Generation of Miracles".

But well...

Xiang Yang looked at the score and shook his head sadly.

It's so hard to fight for justice, so you might as well forget about this competition.

End of the first half, 58:52
Cheng Lin fell behind.
