Chapter 316: Dragon Slayer Team’s Attack Frenzy

“Buzz~”

As time passed, the pause came to an end.

“Everyone, did you remember what I just told you?” Kaneki Ken asked his old friends in front of him with his hands in his pockets.

“Don’t worry, Yanzi~” Murasakihara Atsushi gently turned his waist and stretched his muscles and said, “Let Chizi force that golden-haired ghost to rush into the inside, and then Yingzi and I will block the golden-haired ghost’s shooting and passing space in the inside~ This kind of thing, you often asked Fengzi and I to do it before~”

“Hey, purple-haired monster, Gilgamesh is the ace from our Shohoku High School!” Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Murasakibara Atsushi, who was familiar with Kaneki Ken, and stood between the two of them with some jealousy, staring at Murasakibara Atsushi with an unhappy face and said.

“Hmph! I had already played basketball with Yanzi before you played with him!” Murasakibara Atsushi frowned somewhat unhappily, snorted lightly, and no longer paid attention to Sakuragi Hanamichi. He turned around and walked towards the court.

“This purple-haired monster… is really annoying!” Sakuragi Hanamichi muttered, and followed Murasakibara Atsushi back to the venue angrily.

“Really… Sakuragi-san and Kozuki are already seniors of other people, why are they still like two little kids?” Taoi Satsuki sighed helplessly, holding her forehead with her hand.

“Isn’t it good to be like children?” Akashi Shojuro smiled and looked at the backs of the two and said, “Perhaps the simpler the mind, the easier it is for the guy to make a breakthrough on the court…”

“Okay, stop thinking too much, it’s time to go on the court.” Kise Ryota took off the towel on his head, stared at the gloomy Nash Goldo Jr. and said, “Before the end of the first half, try to open up a score gap that the Jabberwocky team can’t catch up with!”

“Okay, dear audience, now the players from both teams are back on the field. In the previous match, the Dragon Slayers had a strong offensive climax. Will the Exploding Neck Dragons respond to this? Let’s wait and see!”

As the players from both teams returned to the field, at the workbench on the sidelines, Heihachi Tashiro clenched the microphone in his hand with anticipation and gave the commentary in a high-pitched voice.

“Jason, pass the ball!” As the referee handed the ball to Jason Thibo, Nash Goldo Jr. also immediately passed the ball around the baseline towards Jason Thibo.

“It seems that you guys who came out of the so-called holy land of basketball are not that strong…” Nash Goldo Jr. had just crossed the midfield line with the ball when Akashi Seijuro opened his arms to greet him.

“I admit that I treated you the same as other monkeys before.” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Akashi Seijuro in front of him expressionlessly and said, “But next… you won’t be so lucky again, shorty!”

“boom!”

As Nash Goldo Jr. finished his words, a loud explosion sounded in Akashi Seijuro’s ears. Nash Goldo Jr. changed his previous wanton and wild style of play, and simply took a step, and the whole person turned into a golden stream of light, passing by Akashi Seijuro.

“Kaneki is right…” Akashi Seijuro adjusted his steps to stick to Nash Goldo Jr.’s breaking figure, while looking solemnly at the basketball in Nash Goldo Jr.’s hand and muttered to himself, “Although this guy is arrogant, whether in terms of strength, speed, or basic skills, he is impeccable and at the miracle level!”

“The futures you and I can see are almost the same now…” Nash Goldo Jr., who was stuck by Akashi Seijuro, said expressionlessly, “Then what’s next is pure physical crushing!”

After saying that, Nash Goldo Jr. suddenly turned his back and hit Akashi Seijuro’s chest heavily with his shoulder.

“Damn it, this guy… is so unsportsmanlike!” Akashi Seijuro gritted his teeth and held on with all his strength to withstand the physical confrontation of Nash Goldo Jr. His arm swung between Nash Goldo Jr’s hands, trying to steal the ball while disrupting Nash Goldo Jr’s offensive rhythm.

“What a ridiculous struggle…” Nash Goldo Jr. narrowed his eyes slightly, and the ball protector pretended to casually slap the arm of Akashi Seijuro who was trying to steal the ball. He suddenly blew the ball with his right hand and turned around. After a big step, he left Akashi Seijuro behind.

“Kise! Stop him!” After being freed, Akashi Seijuro reminded Kise Ryota on the side, and decisively switched defense to the player opposite Kise Ryota.

“That’s enough. It would be impolite to let you go any further.” Before Nash Goldo Jr. could react, he saw Kise Ryouta standing in front of him with his arms outstretched.

“It’s you again…” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at Kise Ryota, who was somewhat similar to Kaneki Ken, and a twisted hatred suddenly surged in his heart, “Can’t you just…be your monkey obediently?!”

“It seems that Kaneki-kun has cast a huge shadow on you…” Kise Ryota suddenly chuckled, took a deep breath, and looked up at Nash Goldo Jr., with lightning flashing in his eyes. He roared at Nash Goldo Jr. in a firm tone, “But if you are thinking ‘If you can’t deal with Kaneki-kun, you can’t deal with me either’, then I can only tell you… you have made a wrong calculation!”

As Kise Ryouta’s voice fell, Nash Goldo Jr. felt a flash of lightning suddenly ring in his ears, and then a strong sense of oppression rushed towards him like a huge wall of wind.

“Damn… this guy is as difficult to deal with as that bastard in his current state!” Nash Goldo Jr. muttered to himself as he glanced at Kaneki Ken who was sitting leisurely on the sidelines.

“What are you looking at? How dare you be distracted when facing me?” Just when Nash Goldo Jr. was distracted, Kise Ryota’s cold voice suddenly rang in Nash Goldo Jr.’s ears.

“Oh no… I was careless!” Nash Goldo Jr. looked at the imposing Kise Ryota in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly adjusted his dribbling posture in order to avoid Kise Ryota’s steal, but it was too late.

“I got this ball!” There was a faint smile on Ryota Kise’s lips, and his hand reached forward quickly, and the basketball came into Ryota Kise’s hands as if it was attracted by a magnet.

“What?” Jason Thibaud, who was standing behind the two of them, looked at Nash Gordo Jr. with a look of shock and muttered to himself, “Nash…was actually intercepted by this monkey!”

“Stop talking nonsense, nigger!” Murasakibara Atsushi glared at Jason Siber with an unhappy look on his face and said, “You are just a bunch of losers who can’t make it in the United States, and you dare to cheat people out there!”

“What did you say?” Jason Siber, whose heart was touched, looked at Murasakihara Atsushi with red eyes and roared in a low voice. “What are you talking about?” Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Murasakihara Atsushi with a puzzled look and asked, “What… ser?”

“Loser, Sakura…” Seeing that the momentum he had finally gathered was disrupted by Sakuragi Hanamichi’s jokes, Murasakihara Atsushi rolled his eyes at Sakuragi Hanamichi and said, “Didn’t you learn this in junior high school?”

“Of course not!” Sakuragi Hana spread her hands and said as a matter of course.

“So he’s a loser…” Murasakibara Atsushi put his hands on his hips in annoyance, staring at Kise Ryota’s back as he rode away, and spoke slowly with a complicated tone, “But, apart from this guy Yanzi…how many of us are not losers?”

“Hahhhhhhhhhh!!!” Before Murasakibara Atsushi could finish his words, Kise Ryota, who had completed a steal, ran to the frontcourt with the ball, stepped heavily on the free throw line and jumped up.

“Don’t be so proud, golden monkey. Do you really think you are that guy?”

Just as Ryota Kise was gliding towards the basket, Nash Goldo Jr. had caught up from the side and behind him. He jumped up immediately after Ryota Kise, and his long arms covered the basketball in Ryota Kise’s hand like a giant net.

“I won’t let you block me so easily…” Kise Ryota looked at Nash Goldsmith Jr.’s hand that was blocking the shot, his lips curled up slightly, and he slowly took the ball back from the air with his right hand. Then he slightly lifted the ball with his left hand, and the basketball flew high into the sky, hitting the upper left corner of the backboard and bounced accurately into the basket.

“Great shot! Kise-san made a one-stop fast break after stealing the ball! He showed no fear when facing the defense of Nash Goldo Jr., and successfully fooled his opponent with a pull-up jelly layup!”

“Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!”

“Kise!”, “Kise!”, “Kise!”

As Kise Ryota, who had successfully scored a goal, took steps to return to defense, the spectators on the sidelines could no longer contain their excitement. They stood up and waved the flags and banners of the Dragon Slashing Sword Team in their hands. Some of them even wore the Dragon Slashing Sword Team’s organizational culture T-shirts and tied a victory ribbon on their heads.

“Well done, Shining Little Gold!” Sakuragi Hanamichi, the most enthusiastic member of the team, was the first to win as always. He excitedly slapped Kise Ryouta on the shoulder and roared, “You made that golden-haired devil’s face turn green just now, hahahaha!”

“Be careful, Sakuragi…” Kise Ryouta lifted the collar of his jersey, gently wiped the sweat off his face, stared at Nash Goldo Jr.’s back with a serious expression and slowly said, “The guy’s attempt to break through Akashi just now was just a small test… He was able to run in front of you, Sakuragi, when he was returning to defense… This guy’s athletic ability is really a bit scary…

“

“Don’t worry, Shining…” Sakuragi Hanamichi clenched his fists tightly, and the bubbles in his joints made a crackling sound. “I’ll risk my reputation as a basketball genius. If this guy dares to come to the restricted area of ​​​​Shohoku High School, I will definitely kill him!”

As Sakuragi Hanamichi finished speaking, the players of the Exploding Neck Dragons also turned their serious eyes to Sakuragi Hanamichi for the first time. For a moment, the atmosphere in the field was tense.

“Run, everyone, run!” After taking the ball from the baseline, Nash Goldo Jr. urged his teammates to push forward with an unhappy look on his face, while he slowly moved from the backcourt to the frontcourt with the ball.

“Nash, I won’t let you get through so easily!” Akashi Seijuro took the lead and stepped forward with open arms to block the path that Nash Goldo Jr. had to take to break through.

“Hmph, stupid guy…” Nash Goldo Jr snorted and flicked the ball lightly with his left hand. The basketball turned into an orange-red stream of light and emerged from under Akashi Seijuro’s painting. Together with Nash Goldo Jr, he successfully broke through Akashi Seijuro’s defense.

“Who are you calling stupid?” Akashi Seijuro smiled disdainfully, “Before you start mocking others, don’t you check if your ball is in your hand first?”

“What?” Only after Akashi Seijuro’s voice fell did Nash Goldo Jr. feel a sense of emptiness spreading from his palms.

“Nice steal! Akashi-san once again made up for the height difference with his accurate steal!” Tashiro Heihachi roared excitedly, “After completing the steal, Akashi-san decisively launched a fast break… Sakuragi-san received the ball, is Sakuragi-san going to dunk… Nice! Sakuragi-san threw the ball to Murasakibara-san in the paint, and Murasakibara-san followed up and completed an alley-oop dunk over Nash Goldo Jr!”

“Damn it… I should have been the one to take the spotlight just now…” Sakuragi Hanamichi muttered in dissatisfaction as he looked at the basketball bouncing on the ground.

“Stop it, Sakura…” Murasakibara Atsushi pouted and said, “You were disturbed by that golden-haired ghost in the last shot, right? You couldn’t even make the dunk…”

“I’m just passing the ball to you!” Sakuragi Hanamichi said to save his dignity, “In the words of Jin Shanshan, this is called a tactic, do you understand?”

“If it was Yanzi, he would have dunked directly over Nash Goldsmith Jr…” Murasakibara Atsushi shrugged speechlessly.

“Hmph!” Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was choked to the point of being speechless, snorted in dissatisfaction, then looked at Nash Goldo Jr’s back with an angry look and muttered softly, “It’s all because of this guy!”

“What the hell, why is the air conditioning in this stadium turned on so high?” Nash Goldo Jr felt a chill on his back for some reason, then he stared at the air conditioning vents above the stadium with some dissatisfaction and muttered to himself.

“Dad, it looks like we can really win today!” Reiko Aida looked at the ever-widening score gap on the scoreboard on the sidelines, and her originally tense nerves relaxed a little.

“Don’t be happy too soon, Reiko-san…” Taoi Satsuki narrowed her eyes and looked at Nash Goldo Jr.’s eyes and whispered, “Based on my understanding of this guy… next, he might attack Akashi-san!”
