Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 314 Akashi and Akashi Seiro

Chapter 314 Akashi and Akashi Seijuro
“Nash…” Jason Siber looked at Kise Ryota with horror, walked slowly to Nash Goldo Jr. and whispered, “That yellow-haired guy… doesn’t look like he’s going to be easy to deal with!”

“Then play around that guy. Do I need to teach you this?” Nash Gordo Jr. glanced at Jason Thibo coldly and said, “Or are you scared on the court? If you are scared, just tell me. I can always find someone to replace you!”

“Ah ha? Are you afraid of an Asian monkey?” Jason Siber frowned subconsciously, shook his head arrogantly and said, “I was just wondering if we need to double-team that yellow-haired guy…”

“Double-team? That’s not necessary.” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Kise Ryota with a gloomy face and said, “Since this guy is so reckless and wants to stand out and steal the limelight…then we should use the gift we originally prepared for that guy on him first!”

“Haha, just wait and see!” Jason Siber showed a cruel smile on his face and said as he moved his shoulders.

“Nash, catch the ball!” As the game progressed, the ball returned to the hands of the Jabberwocky team. Handel shouted at the bottom line and passed the ball to Nash Goldo Jr.

“Don’t even think about going over there, Nash Goldo Jr!” As soon as Nash Goldo Jr caught the ball, Akashi Seijuro opened his arms, stared at the basketball bouncing up and down, and roared.

“You look very confident…” Nash Goldo Jr. patted the basketball in his hand and looked at Akashi Seijuro with a playful look. “Is it your eyes that give you confidence? To be honest, half-finished eyes like yours look as ridiculous as toys in my eyes!”

“Yeah!”

As soon as Nash Goldsmith Jr. finished speaking, Akashi Seijuro took a step forward, and his palm cut the basketball in Nash Goldsmith Jr.’s hand accurately like a knight’s spear.

“Are you angry?” Nash Gordo Jr. shook his right hand slightly, and the basketball returned from behind Nash Gordo Jr. to his left hand. “The steal was indeed very fast, but unfortunately… I have already seen through your future!”

“call!”

Akashi Seijuro felt the strong wind blowing in his face and watched the basketball brush against his fingertips and pass by him along with Nash Gold Jr.

“He predicted it again…” Aida Reiko on the sidelines muttered to herself as she watched Nash Goldo Jr. speed away with an unwilling look on her face, “Could it be that this guy… actually has the same eyes as Akashi-san?”

“Same eyes?” Nash Goldo Jr. glanced at Reiko Aida with disdain and said, “You think too highly of this monkey… His eyes can only see the future of the player he is facing… But my eyes can see the future of every player on the court!”

“Whoosh~”

“What…” Huang Lai Ryouta, who had been lying in ambush for a long time and was about to seize the opportunity to steal the ball, looked at the orange-red light passing by his temples with a shocked face and muttered to himself, “This guy actually…actually saw me while passing Akashi-chan?!”

“Good pass, Nash!” Jason Thibo excitedly jumped up to catch the basketball, then looked at Murasakibara Atsushi behind him with a ferocious expression and said with a smile, “Come on, little brat, it’s our new round!”

“I will never lose to you this time!” Murasakibara Atsushi looked at Jason Thibo with gritted teeth. His mind kept recalling the defensive tips that Sakuragi Hanamichi taught him in the previous game. His body slowly sank driven by instinct. His right knee tightly pressed against the pivot foot of Jason Thibo who was about to exert force. His right arm was stuck tightly on Jason Thibo’s waist. It was obvious that Murasakibara Atsushi was trying to force Jason Thibo towards the mobile defense line formed by him and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

“Are you ready to double-team me with your teammates?” Jason Sibo raised his eyebrows slightly, then roared indifferently, “Any monkeys like you will be the same!”

“boom!”

With a loud bang, Jason Thibo suddenly turned half to the right, carrying Murasakibara Atsushi, and cut into the inside line at an incredibly fast speed.

“Don’t even think about going in, black ghost!” Just when Murasakibara Atsushi was about to lose, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was blocked by the double pick-and-roll of Handel and Old K of the Jabberwocky Team, Kise Ryota on the side suddenly switched to Aomine Daiki mode, approached Jason Thibo like a golden lightning, and slapped the basketball in Jason Thibo’s hand.

“I was thinking of dealing with you later…” Jason Siber had a cruel smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at Huang Lai Ryota with a grin, “But since you’ve come to me now… I’ll deal with you as well!”

“Not good!” Kise Ryota looked at the hideous smile on Jason Siber’s face, and a boundless chill suddenly rose from behind him, making him subconsciously dodge behind him. At this time, Jason Siber’s elbow just brushed Kise Ryota’s nose and hit nothing.

“Oh? Didn’t hit it?” Jason Siber glanced at Kise Ryota indifferently, then chuckled and said sternly, “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t hit it… Anyway, I got the ball!”

As Jason Thibaud’s voice fell, Kise Ryota heard a cracking sound, and a chilling wailing sound suddenly came from the seams of the court floor, and Jason Thibaud’s figure soared into the sky as if equipped with a catapult.

“Don’t be so proud, you black ghost!” After making two consecutive counter-runs to shake off the opponent who was entangled with him, Sakuragi Hanamichi came in front of Jason Sibo and jumped up, using his long arms to desperately block the basketball in Jason Sibo’s hand.

“I admit that your physical talent is strong among this group of monkeys…” Jason Siber looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi mockingly and said, “But no matter how strong a monkey is…it’s just a monkey!”

As he said that, Jason Thibo seemed not to notice Sakuragi Hanamichi’s defense, and slammed the ball towards the basket as usual.

“If Sakura can’t do it, I’m still here!” After being passed, Murasakibara Atsushi immediately turned around, jumped up from behind Jason Sibo, and pressed his big hand tightly on the basketball in Jason Sibo’s hand.

“Go to hell!” Jason Sibo felt the power coming from his palm, and a feeling of provoked anger surged in his heart. The veins on his muscular arms bulged, and he overpowered Murasakibara Atsushi and Sakuragi Hanamichi in the air and dunked the basketball heavily into the basket.

“boom!”

“Bang! Bang!”

Along with the whistling sound of the basket, there were the sounds of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Murasakihara Atsushi falling to the ground one after another.

“See, purple-haired monkey? The gap between you and me is like a chasm that cannot be bridged!” Jason Siber looked down at Murasakibara Atsushi lying on the floor and laughed sarcastically, “You don’t want to hide behind your teammates anymore? You want to protect your teammates? In the end, you still didn’t do anything!” “In the end, didn’t you still do nothing?”

“After you leave the court, the inside line of Zhaorong Middle School is completely finished…”

Listening to the sarcasm from Jason Sibo’s mouth, Murasakibara Atsushi couldn’t help but think of Teppei Kiyoshi who had been defeated by him.

“Come on, Murasakibara! Don’t give up so easily! Think about the footwork and confrontation skills under the basket that Kaneki taught you! This black-skinned ghost is no match for you!”

Just as Murasakibara Atsushi was lying on the ground with his head down and silent, Teppei Kiyoshi suddenly stood up in the audience and shouted angrily.

“Hey, Muji, keep a low profile! The coach has granted you sick leave, but we don’t…” Hinata Junpei looked at Reiko Aida’s gaze and quickly pulled Muji Teppei’s clothes and said, “I ran away with you with great difficulty, so don’t let me down!”

“Is that… Muji over there?” Murasakihara Atsushi chuckled, stood up and muttered to himself, “I’m really grateful for his concern… But if he wants me to give up…”

As he spoke, Murasakibara Atsushi suddenly paused, turned his head and looked at Jason Siber, staring at Jason Siber’s dark face with his eyes, and shouted angrily: “I was not afraid when facing Yanzi, so how can I be afraid when facing the defeated opponent of Yanzi!”

“You!” Jason Siber’s eyes suddenly turned red after being exposed by Murasakibara Atsushi. He clenched his fists with gritted teeth and whispered in a sinister tone, “You are very good… Purple-haired monkey!”

“I really have to thank that guy in your inside line for his reckless provocation…” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at the terrifying aura emanating from Jason Thibo, turned his head to look at Akashi Seijuro and said with a smile, “I’m afraid I don’t need to make a move next… Before that blond guy comes up, everyone on your team will be torn to pieces by Jason!”

After saying that, Nash Goldo Jr. didn’t even look at the expression on Akashi Seijuro’s face. He turned around and slowly ran towards the backcourt.

“Are you there? Did you see that guy just pass the ball?”

Akashi Seijuro stared at Nash Goldo Jr.’s back with a livid face, and asked Akashi in a deep voice in the depths of his mind.

“Of course I saw it. It was a beautiful pass without any preparation…” Akashi said calmly, “With a vision that can predict everyone’s future on the court, it’s easy to pass this kind of pass.”

“So I won’t say anything empty this time.” Akashi Seijuro said in an urgent tone, “I need your strength, but after this game, you have to come back here.”

“Haha, you treat me as a tool again? I don’t want to.” Akashi chuckled with a complicated tone and refused decisively.

“Don’t you know?” Akashi Seijuro asked in confusion, “If we can’t beat this guy on the court, it is very likely that Kaneki will have to go on the court! Considering the hostility these guys have towards Kaneki, once Kaneki goes on the court…”

“Once Kaneki is on the field, he will have to face all kinds of dirty tricks and even all kinds of unsportsmanlike actions. I know that, but what does this have to do with me?” Akashi curled his lips in dissatisfaction, sat down on the ground in his consciousness space, looked at Akashi Seijuro calmly and asked, “Like you said before, Kaneki is your friend, not my friend.”

“I…” Akashi Seijuro looked at Akashi in front of him and was suddenly speechless.

“Hahaha, I was just kidding.” Akashi looked at Akashi Shojuro’s helpless expression and suddenly laughed neurotically. After laughing for a long time, Akashi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed, “So this is the feeling of a smile from the heart… I really want to experience it for a while longer…”

“What do you mean?” Akashi Seijuro frowned, looked at Akashi with disbelief on his face, and asked in a trembling voice, “Are you going to…”

“I’m going to give my power back to you.” Akashi slowly walked in front of Akashi Seijuro, raised his hand and gently stroked Akashi Seijuro’s face and said, “I was born because of your cowardice, and now it will end because of your courage to protect your teammates… Just think of it as atonement, use my power to protect the people you want to protect.”

“Then…what are you going to do?” A sense of sadness suddenly surged in Akashi Seijuro’s heart, and he looked at Akashi reluctantly and asked.

“Me? I’m just a deformity that shouldn’t exist…” Akashi slowly walked towards Akashi Seijuro. With every step forward, more and more of Akashi was exposed to the sunlight, until finally, Akashi and Akashi Seijuro completely merged into one.

“Don’t feel sorry for me, just think of it as me going to see my mother first.” Akashi’s last voice echoed in Akashi Seishiro’s mind, “By the way, please tell Kaneki and the others for me… I’m sorry for the offense and hurt I caused them in the past… I really, really want to be friends with them… If possible, please remember me, okay?”

“Om~~”

As the fusion was finally completed, Akashi Seijuro only felt a dazzling light suddenly shining into his pupils. When he opened his eyes again, a familiar yet unfamiliar force made him subconsciously clench his palms.

“I will take care of what you said…” Akashi Seijuro looked at his right hand and muttered to himself, “But next…”

As he said that, Akashi Seijuro turned his head to look at Nash Goldo Jr.’s back and said in a stern voice: “Let us… teach this guy a lesson together!”

As Akashi Seijuro’s words fell, a stream of tears rolled down his face and fell to the ground.

“Akagi-chan, what’s wrong with you?” Huang Lai Ryota took a step forward with some confusion and asked with concern.

“Nothing, Kise.” Akashi Seijuro took a deep breath and said meaningfully, “It’s just that a friend asked me for help… to teach those bastards of the Exploding Dragon Team a lesson!”
