Chapter 306: The Arrogant Explosive Dragon Team and the Desperate Aida Kagetora
“How could this be…” The match between the Neon Team and the Jabberwocky Team had already reached the last minute of the fourth quarter. Kasamatsu Yukio looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines with a look of despair and muttered to himself, “Is the gap between us and these guys… really that big?”
“Hey, Monkey…” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Kasamatsu Yukio with a joking expression and said, “You’re not still fantasizing about defeating us, are you?”
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Yukio Kasamatsu said to Nash Goldo Jr. with an unhappy look on his face.
“Haha…” Nash Goldo Jr. shook his head with disdain. “Actually, there’s not much of a problem… It just makes people feel a little stupid… Oh, by the way, I forgot that you are all monkeys, so it’s only natural that you’re a little stupid.”
“This guy…is no longer just trash…” Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Nash Goldo Jr. with a gloomy face and muttered to himself, “He is totally humiliating us!”
“It’s almost the same~” Nash Goldo Jr. seized the moment when Kasamatsu Yukio was stunned, rushed forward, and stabbed the basketball with his long arm as accurately as a knight’s spear, successfully snatching the ball from Kasamatsu Yukio.
“Damn it… get back to defense!” Kasamatsu Yukio looked at Nash Goldo Jr.’s smug expression with an unhappy face, and quickly reminded his teammates loudly.
“What a ridiculous struggle, it’s meaningless.” Nash Goldo Jr. deliberately slowed down his pace. After all the members of the Japanese team checked out, he slowly walked across the half court with the ball. He came to Kasamatsu Yukio and said in a deep voice, “Well, I see you are wearing the number 4 jersey. According to the rules of Japan, you should be the captain of this temporary team, right?”
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Kasamatsu Yukio replied in a bad tone.
“Nothing…” Nash Goldo Jr. said in a playful tone, “You are the captain, and I am also the captain of this team… So I will use this last ball to let you see… the huge gap between our two teams!”
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!”
As Nash Goldo Jr. finished his words, a series of drum-like sounds of basketballs hitting the ground rang in Kasamatsu Yukio’s ears.
“Damn… this guy dribbles the ball too fast. I can’t even see where the ball lands!” Kasamatsu Yukio struggled as he looked at Nash Goldo Jr. with a disdainful expression. After hesitating for a moment, he showed a desperate expression on his face and shouted, “But street basketball… I’ve seen it before!”
After saying that, Kasamatsu Yukio pounced towards Nash Goldo Jr.’s right hand like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
“What a great momentum. No wonder he can become the captain of this group of monkeys.” Nash Goldo Jr. curled his lips slightly, and slammed the ball heavily towards Kasamatsu Yukio’s crotch with his right hand. The basketball bounced high on the ground and flew from Kasamatsu Yukio’s crotch into the hands of Nash Goldo Jr. who had completed the breakthrough.
“Have you ever separated the ball from the player?” Kasamatsu Yukio turned his head with an unhappy look on his face and looked at the back of Nash Goldo Jr. and shouted angrily, “Compared to that guy, your level is still far behind!”
After saying that, Yukio Kasamatsu thrust out his long arm and poked directly towards the basketball in Nash Goldo Jr.’s hand.
“Naughty boy, as a punishment, I’ll hit you~” Nash Gordo Jr., who was being forced to play, looked at Kasamatsu Yukio with an unchanged expression, and with a slight shake of his right hand, the basketball hit Kasamatsu Yukio’s face hard, and then bounced back into Nash Gordo Jr.’s hands. Nash Gordo Jr., who received the ball, also lost interest in playing, and stood outside the three-point line, took the ball and jumped, and gently pushed the ball towards the basket with his right hand.
“Shh!”
“Buzz~”
As the sound of a basketball hitting the net was heard, the red light on the timer on the rack lit up.
“It was a wonderful game! 162 to 42, the Jabberwocky team won by a large margin!” As the game was declared over, the host who was in charge of warming up the scene came up with a smile and passed the microphone to Nash Goldo Jr., asking, “So, Nash, as the captain of the Jabberwocky team, what do you think of this game?”
“What do you think?” Nash Goldo Jr. lowered his eyes, and slowly said with a disdainful smile on his lips, “Right now, the only thing I feel is disgust!”
“Ah?” The host’s smile froze, and he quickly said, “Uh, Mr. Nash may not be very proficient in Japanese… He just said an inappropriate word…”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it!” Nash Goldo Jr. grabbed the microphone and said in fluent Neon language, “Playing with you guys is just a waste of my time. You monkeys should stop dreaming of having any future in basketball! Watching you play basketball is just a disgrace to the sport of basketball. It makes me feel sick!”
“What is this guy talking about?”
“Damn it! Who’s going to help me beat this guy up?”
“Count me in!”
“Count me in!”
The enraged fans off the field rolled up their sleeves in indignation, ready to beat up the players of the Jabberwocky team.
“Of course, I’m not unreasonable. If you can find a player who can beat us, I’m willing to apologize for what I said just now.” Nash Goldo Jr. pointed at the Neon team next to him and said, “But if the strongest guys among you are just this bunch of bastards… then I really don’t think there’s any need for me to apologize.”
After saying that, Nash Goldo Jr. threw down the microphone with an arrogant look on his face, turned around and prepared to leave the court with the players of the Jabberwocky team.
“Hey, brats!” Just as the players of the Jabberwocky team were about to leave the court, a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses suddenly walked out of the crowd. He slowly took off his sunglasses, looked at the players of the Jabberwocky team with a bad look and said, “I admit that you are indeed very strong, but this is not your capital to insult Asian basketball!” “Oh, what do you want to do, old man?” Jason Thibo stood in front of Aida Kagetora with a playful look on his face and asked, “Do you still want to play a game with us? But I’m afraid that your body will fall apart if I hit you~”
“I’m old, so of course I can’t fight you.” Aida Kagetora seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Jason Thibaud’s words. He still smiled at Nash Goldo Jr. and said, “Since you think that Asian basketball is rubbish and Asian basketball players are weak, then you must not mind playing a game with Asian players, right?”
“You say so, so we can fight?” Nash Goldo Jr. stood in front of Aida Kagetora and said, “We play basketball for money, and we don’t plan to live in Japan permanently. How long will it take for you to find a team to challenge us? Who will pay for it?”
“I’ll go!” Aida Kagetora looked at Nash Goldo Jr. with gloomy eyes and said, “Give me a week, at most. During this time, all your food, clothing, housing, transportation, drinking and entertainment in Japan will be on my shoulders. After a week, I’ll find the players to play another game with you! If you win, I’ll commit seppuku in front of you in a minute. If you lose, you’ll have to apologize to all the fans in Japan in front of the TV!”
“Interesting…” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Aida Kagetora’s serious expression with a playful look, walked up slowly, stretched out his hand to Aida Kagetora and said, “Then let’s do as you said. We accept your challenge. But we will only wait here for a week. If you don’t find a player after a week, you still have to pay.”
“Don’t worry, it might happen faster than you think!” Aida Kagetora said to Nash Goldsmith Jr. with a gloomy expression.
……
“What? Are you crazy, Dad?” That night, after Aida Kagetora made those harsh words, he was so angry that he dared not speak after returning home. “You mortgaged your gym, house, and car, all for this crappy competition organized by the Explosive Dragon Team?”
“I know, I made this decision too hastily, Reiko…” Aida Kagetora stood in front of Aida Reiko with a cowering face and explained with a smile, “But there is nothing we can do about it? That blond guy is so abominable. He actually mocked our Japanese basketball in public and said that our Japanese players are all rubbish! Can you tolerate such a thing? I can’t tolerate it anyway!”
“I understand the truth…” Aida Reiko looked at her father speechlessly and said, “But what’s the point even if we really win the game? All the money in the family has been invested by you!”
“Not all the money, Reiko~” Aida Katsuyori took out a receipt from his pocket and said in a flattering manner, “Actually, a lot of things in this game were sponsored, and I didn’t spend any money myself…”
“Nonsense! That’s because you don’t have any money, Dad!” Reiko Aida took the invoice from Katsuhiro Aida with an unhappy look on her face. It didn’t matter if she didn’t look at it. After looking at the invoice, the anger on Reiko Aida’s face became more obvious. “So, not only did you mortgage your house and car to host this game, you also bet half of the funds on the winning rate of your newly formed team!”
“Why don’t you take the money you’re sure to win?” Aida Katsuhiro shrugged nonchalantly and said softly, “As long as we win this game, you’ll be a rich second-generation from now on, Reiko~”
“Alas…” Reiko Aida looked at the eight big words “Once sold, no refunds or exchanges” clearly written on the invoice and sighed helplessly, “I can only go to those guys at Lekelai…”
……
“Ada, it’s bad! Tetsu-kun went to the bar to look for the Jabberwocky team!” Just as Aida Reiko was scolding her father, Momoi Satsuki, who received a notice from Ogihara Narihiro, quickly called Aomine Daiki to let him know, “Hurry up and call Akashi and the others, and go rescue Tetsu-kun!”
“What?” Aomine Daiki sat up in shock after hearing Tao Jing Satsuki’s cry for help, and said with a hint of disbelief, “Azhe went to find those American devils? Isn’t he just fooling around? What can he do with his weak arms and legs?”
“So, A-Da, stop talking nonsense and go get someone!” Tao Jing Mayu stamped her feet anxiously and urged, “I’ll send you Zhejun’s location right away!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll be right there!” Qingfeng Daihui put on his coat while cursing after hanging up the phone, muttering in an unhappy tone, “To be honest, this guy Azhe really dares to do anything once he gets excited… Forget it, let’s get everyone together!”
……
“Hey, who the hell are you? You come here so late at night to ruin our fun!”
Aomine Daiki had just arrived at the bar with the members of the Generation of Miracles when he saw Kuroko Tetsuya being pushed to the ground by Nash Goldo Jr.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Aomine Daiki, who had hurried over, immediately stepped forward angrily, grabbed Nash Goldo Jr. and asked.
“Ah? Your people came here to cause trouble and asked us what we want to do?” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Qingfeng Daiki with an unhappy face and muttered, “As expected, monkeys are monkeys, without any human manners!”
“Etiquette is something that only applies to humans! Humanoid creatures like you are not worthy of it!” Akashi Nakajuro, who was provoked from behind, could no longer hold back his inner anger. He stepped forward to help up Kuroko Tetsuya, looked at Nash Goldo Jr. with cold eyes and roared.
“Haha~ You guys are hugging each other~” Nash Goldo Jr. chuckled impatiently, waved his hand and said, “I’m in a good mood today, so get out of here! Don’t make me really angry!”
“Don’t leave in a hurry, Akashi-san.” Just when Akashi Seijuro was hesitating whether to take people away from here, the voice of Aida Katsuyori suddenly came from behind him.
“Senior Aida…” Akashi Seijuro turned his head to look at Aida Katsuyori behind him, suppressed his anger and glared at Nash Goldo Jr., then bowed slightly to Aida Katsuyori and said, “I heard from Tao Jing that you seem to be forming a team to deal with this so-called Explosive Dragon Team… Regardless of whether others join or not, count me in.”
“Don’t worry, Akashi-san.” Aida Kagetora suppressed his surprise and nodded in the direction of Nash Goldo Jr., “Actually, this was my original plan. To deal with this group of guys… you, the Generation of Miracles, are the only ones who can do it.”
“Generation of Miracles?” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Aida Kagetora and the other man who were plotting loudly without paying attention to the people around them, and chuckled with disdain, “Okay, you can ask anyone to fight, our Explosive Dragon Team is always ready. Before that, can you please leave here?”
