"So, the real reason you came here..."

Head coach Yu Inoue's voice was always hoarse and majestic, and there was no emotion mixed in it.

"Tomorrow's game requires a referee."

"And the referee, you are the best candidate."

“Whether it is for the fairness of the game or to experience our basketball personally, you must play in person.”

Akashi Seijuro's voice was very plain, confident and calm.

The office quieted again, and Seijuro Akashi sat on the sofa, straightening his body, motionless and meticulous.

The head coach of Inoue on the leather sofa, after pondering for a while, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and wiped the water stains on his beard.

"I'll think about it!"

"So, I'm upset, goodbye!!"

After Akashi Seijuro stood up and saluted, he turned around and walked out of the office neatly.

...

It was only after 9 o'clock in the evening that Shirasaki Yoshigo met the girl Shimizu Liana who walked out of the office building.

Handing over the lemonade that Kiyomizu loves, Shirasaki Yoshigo took out the rice balls he brought from the restaurant.

"Thank you, Xiangwujun!"

The girl's voice was exhausted and surprised, and a crisp and gentle voice.

Shirasaki Yoshigo reached out to straighten the beauty's ears that were blown by the sea breeze, and walked on the rubber track around the island with Qingmizu Rei Ai.

The girl Shimizu said a lot and revealed a lot of news to Yukio Haizaki, including the fact that Akashi Seijuro went to visit head coach Yu Inoue.

How lucky is it to be with the beautiful woman?

One night passed and the golden crow went out to sea.

The atmosphere in the open-air basketball court seemed a little nervous than yesterday.

Because all the players invited to participate in the U19 trials saw the familiar figures wearing national team uniforms with their own eyes.

After getting off the boat, the figures walked along the rubber path, crossed the open-air basketball court, and walked into the indoor basketball hall.

"Hey...I'm not right? That's Taoho, the national player in the Racecourse?"

"Yes, he is surrounded by Yu Watanabe, a player born in the same place as me."

"And that...that...hashimotoya..."

“…”

After a silence, the crowd disappeared behind the stadium gate of the national team, noisy talk broke out in the open-air basketball court.

There are many different opinions and rumors are flying all over the world.

In the stadium, Shirasaki Yoshigo had just walked out of the locker room and entered the player passage, he heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground from the stadium.

The sound is heavy and powerful!

Shirasaki Yoshigo narrowed his eyes slightly, adapting to the strong light coming from the entrance of the passage and the atmosphere that became somewhat depressing.

While moving his shoulders and twisting his waist, Shirasaki Yoshigo walked into the basketball court.

The basketball court, Akashi Seijuro, Aomoto Daiki, Kise Ryota, Murahara Atsuro, Midorima Shitaro, and I have all been in place, and the six people have gathered in one half and started warming up.

"Yo, you finally can't bear to come out?"

Aofeng Daiki's words a little disgusted did not make Yakisaki Shogo feel any discomfort.

The way this guy Qingfeng Dahui greets acquaintances is sometimes weird, annoying, and may also be very sharp.

Yasaki Shogo ignored Aofeng Daiki, but looked up at the opposite side, today's opponent, the group of people from the national team.

It was a group of familiar figures, and everyone who loved basketball was familiar with them.

Yazaki Shogo had already felt the excitement and tension of the six people who were Akashi Seijuro, Aozumi Akira, Fujihara, Ome, Kise Ryota, and Midoma Shitaro from the inside.

These characters who were only seen on TV before were standing in front of them today and wanted to have a confrontation with them.

This kind of thing is exciting to think about.

On the other hand, when Shirasaki Shogo and others were looking at these national team players, several people from the national team were also looking at Shirasaki Shogo and others.

"They are the seed players of this u19?"

"It should be, those little guys are called the Age of Miracles!"

"Miracle Age? Tsk tsk... I miss you so much... those years of youth!"

"Don't be careless, it is said that it is difficult to deal with."

"I know! We were not easy to deal with at that time, what's the result?"

As usual, jokes, active team atmosphere, and serious basketball discipline are a group of players who despise their opponents but face the game.

Akashi Seijuro said nothing, not reminded him, but stood under the rebound and kept feeding the other six people.

Some things, some situations, some contradictions can be reflected in a high-intensity basketball game.

This is one of the main reasons why Akashi Seijuro asked to change his opponent. He wanted to take this team composed of powerful teammates to go overseas.

To perform in the expedition, the team needs to be integrated at least on a shallow level.

Head coach Yu Inoue also thought of these ideas, so he and Seijuro Akashi completed cooperation, invited the national team, and put on sneakers and referee's clothes himself.

This is the tacit understanding between the team captain and the head coach. It is the first time to cooperate and it seems perfect at the moment.

Beep beep beep beep!

Fifteen minutes later, head coach Yu Inoue blew the whistle of preparation before the game.

The personnel of both sides walked out of the stadium and returned to their own rest area.

"You probably haven't forgotten it, right? Coach Inoue's explanation last night, he should do his best and suppress the arrogant arrogance of these little boys."

"Captain, don't worry! The opponent is the opponent. Who can control whether their hair grows in full?"

"Hahaha……"

“…”

After a burst of laughter from his teammates, as the captain, Taeho, wearing the No. 1 jersey, led the team to strode into the basketball court.

On the other side, Akashi Seijuro looked at Yazaki Yoshigo, Aomizu Oki, Murahara Atsuro, Midorima Shitaro, and the starting players for a while, nodded and walked into the basketball court first.

At this time, the whistle of the official game was blown by head coach Yu Inoue himself.

The starters of the seed players: No. 1 Akashi Seijuro, No. 2 Midorima Shitaro, No. 3 Haizaki Yoko, No. 4 Aomo Daiki, No. 5 Murahara Atsushi.

The starters of the Japanese national team: No. 1, Tao of Ramabata, No. 2, Hachimura Kage, No. 3, Kosuke Takeuchi, No. 4, Ando Hitoo, No. 5, Hashimoto Ya.

(The back number is an informal match number, which is a practice match number, generally corresponds to the position you are in. For example, the number 1 position is generally a point guard)

As Shirasaki Yoshigo walked at the end of the team, he obviously felt the tension and uneasiness in the hearts of the other people.

There is no doubt that this is a big scene, the first big scene experienced by Akashi Seijuro and others.

National team!

This keyword is so exciting that it is difficult to control yourself just by thinking about it.

It's ridiculous. Aofeng Daiki, who was right in front of Shiraki Yoshigo, actually trembled slightly.

This introverted guy had a tense day, and Shirasaki Shogo thought this scene was very funny.

"A Da, are you scared?"

"Didn't you say that you can defeat yourself?"

"I didn't expect you to feel scared?"
Chapter completed!
