Chapter 132 We Are Too Strong
“Okay, everyone, be quiet.” Aida Reiko clapped her hands, interrupting everyone’s whispers, then turned to look at the three people, “Ebina, Narumi, Katsumi, come and introduce yourselves to everyone.”

“Yes.” Ebinajia was the first to step forward. “Hello everyone, my name is Ebinajia, second grade, class 7, I’m 177cm tall, weigh 65kg, and I play point guard.”

“You are… the commander of rhythm! Ebina Ka!” Izuki Shun, who plays point guard, knows about famous point guards from all over the country and said excitedly, “Fujima is known as the slow one!”

“Haha, they’re just empty names.” Ebina Ka said modestly with a smile.

“What… Commander’s Tower? Is it famous?” Shinji Koganei asked curiously.

“Although Ebina-san is not a player with explosive athletic ability, he has a very strong sense of ball control and is good at three-point shooting and defense.” Aida Reiko explained with a smile, “When he was in Hokkaido Middle School, he averaged 18 points, 14 rebounds and 2 steals per game!”

“So impressive…” Katsumi Ichiro on the side also looked at Ebina Ka with some emotion, and stood up and said, “My name is Katsumi Ichiro, and I’m also a freshman who transferred from Hokkaido Junior High School. I’m 185 cm tall and weigh 75 kg. I can play both shooting guard and small forward.”

“? Katsumi Ichiro? Katsumi Ichiro from Takeishi National High School?” Hinata Junpei hadn’t recognized him before, and when he heard the name, he said in surprise, “The Man of the Wind, Katsumi Ichiro?”

“Tsk, don’t lump me in with that guy who gave up basketball.” Katsumi Ichiro was obviously a little unhappy with Hinata Junpei comparing him to Mitsui Shou. “He is my senior, but a guy who gave up basketball for two years is just like that on the court.”

“Hey, don’t be so arrogant…” Izuki Shun, who was beaten by Mitsui in the last game, felt his scalp tingling every time he recalled the scene of being teased by Mitsui. “He doesn’t look untrustworthy at all…”

“This classmate, Ichiro Katsumi, is a junior of Mitsui from Shonan at Takeishi Junior High School. He is a very good pitcher.” Reiko Aida patted Ichiro Katsumi on the back. “He used to play basketball at a Hokkaido junior high school like Ebina Ka. He averaged 20 points, 6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game~”

“Humph, I heard that you actually lost to Mitsui Shou. I am really disappointed.” Katsume Ichiro snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction.

“What? You’re just a weak pitcher, and you still have the nerve to brag like that. They’ve defeated the Generation of Miracles, so you should at least show some respect.” A tall figure beside Ichiro Katsume sneered, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Daisuke Narumi, I’m 194cm tall, 92kg in weight, and I play center.”

“What’s so great about the Generation of Miracles? Don’t think that the Generation of Miracles is invincible just because you were beaten by Kaneki Ken of the Age of Miracles and gave up basketball.” Katsume Ichiro retorted disdainfully, “People who give up basketball can’t be trusted. I don’t know why the coach asked you to come here.”

“What did you say?” Narumi Daisuke stared at Katsume Ichiro unhappily, “Do you want to fight?”

“Hit me if you want. I’m not afraid of you!” Katsume Ichiro went forward without any fear.

“Mitobe, Kagami, stop them quickly!” Seeing that the newly arrived players were about to fight before they had even integrated into the team, Reiko Aida quickly asked the players to separate the two.

Upon receiving the order, Kagami Daiga and Mitobe Rinnosuke hurried forward to pull the two apart.

“This guy is so strong…” Kagami Daiga was unable to pull down Narumi Daisuke, so he could only lock Narumi Daisuke from behind and carry him away.

“We are all teammates from now on, so we must cooperate well on the court and help each other in unity!” Reiko Aida said helplessly, holding her forehead with her hand.

“Tsk, who wants to help a weakling like this?” Katsumi Ichiro spat in disdain, “Just don’t hold me back!”

“Don’t worry about that, Katsumi!” Aida Reiko smiled and patted Katsumi Ichiro on the shoulder. “Ming Hai is also an excellent player who can contribute 18 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in Osaka Junior High School. I believe that as long as you cooperate well, you will become good friends!”

“Who wants to be friends with this guy?” Daisuke Narumi and Ichiro Katsumi said in disdain in unison.

“Look, aren’t they getting along pretty well?|ω｀)?” Aida Reiko said with a smile, “Okay, we’ve said what we need to say. Hinata, you can start team training with the newcomers!”

“Yes!” Hinata Junpei looked at the new reinforcements of the team and felt motivated.

“According to what my dad said, these three players are at least genius-level players in their respective positions…” Aida Reiko looked at the jumping data on the players’ bodies and thought excitedly, “By the time the national competition starts, Kagami should have at least grown to a miracle level! Maybe this year, we can achieve something great!”

Yes, the team was strengthened, Reiko Aida was back on her feet, and she felt like she was good enough again. …

At Shonan High School, after the dinner, the rain gradually stopped. Everyone said goodbye and went home. Momoi Satsuki and Kaneki Ken took a leisurely walk, talking about today’s game.

“Today’s Sakuragi really surprised me~” Taoi Satsuki said with a smile while holding Kaneki Ken’s hand, “For a moment, I even thought he could compete with A-Da and the others! Haha, I don’t know what I was thinking, it’s too ridiculous.”

“This is not ridiculous at all. A guy who can awaken the Zone on his own after playing for three and a half months, no estimate is too much…” Kaneki Ken looked at the data updates after the match between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Seirin in his mind system, smiled and said nothing.

“Player: Hanamichi Sakuragi;

Age: 16;

Height: 189cm/203cm;

Weight: 88kg;

Wingspan: 209cm/223cm
Talent: Skywalker (young);
Strength: 92/99;

Speed: 92/99;

Bounce: 105/120;

Coordination: 89/96;

Agility: 94/97;

Durability: 106/120;

Flexibility: 87/90;

Skills: Air Walk (S+, activation level 23%), Basketball Basics (B-level), Tower under the Basket (B+), Overpowering (B+), Shot Fake (B), Defensive Vanguard (B-), Zone (S, cannot be activated independently).

Badges: Strongman (Silver), Man in the Clouds (Hall of Fame, activation level 27%), Name of Genius (Hall of Fame).

Rating: S- (one of the top 18 players in the world at U200 level).”

“After this match, Sakuragi not only awakened his defensive vanguard skill, but also upgraded his other skills by at least one level. He even crossed the Zone threshold once… I have to say, the badge of genius is really useful…” Kaneki Ken sighed with envy, “If I didn’t have a system, and continued to develop at this pace, by next year, Sakuragi might be able to catch up with 7% of me.”

It turns out that when Sakuragi Hanamichi participated in basketball training for the first time, the badge of genius was automatically awakened.

“Badge: Name of Genius, Badge Type: Spirit, Badge Term: I am a Genius, Badge Level: Hall of Fame, Badge Effect: Possessing this badge can improve the owner’s understanding of basketball, and the probability of awakening skills autonomously is five times that of ordinary people, and it comes with the special effect of becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent. When facing an evenly matched or even unbeatable opponent, there is a 7% chance that the skills or badges will be temporarily upgraded by one to two levels during the game, and there is a 2% chance that the temporary upgrade will be solidified as a permanent upgrade after the game.”

“Ken-kun? Ken-kun?” Taoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken who seemed to be distracted and reminded him, “What are you thinking about, Ken-kun?”

“Oh, nothing, I think you are right, I, Sakuragi, am invincible!” Kaneki Ken said half-jokingly with a smile, “Maybe Shonan can achieve three consecutive championships in IH and WI? After all, our Shonan is too strong!”
