Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: The Eve of the County Tournament

Thanks for 200+ power stone πŸͺ¨

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a week has passed.

This day, May 15th.

Shohoku High School Basketball Hall.

The door of the stadium was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Kara Smith and Ayako walked in together from outside.

Ayako held a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder in her hand. Before she even entered the gym, she shouted to the people who were training in the gym, "Everyone, the order of the games has been arranged!"

Everyone was instantly attracted by Ayako's words and stopped their actions.

The rapid breathing sounds gradually calmed down at this moment.

Ayako didn't intend to keep it a secret and walked straight to the whiteboard in the gym. She carefully spread out the slightly large piece of paper in her hand and stuck it on steadily.

At this time, everyone could see clearly that the piece of paper was actually the schedule for the Kanagawa Prefecture competition.

The members of the Shohoku Basketball Team immediately gathered around like a tide, with curiosity shining in everyone's eyes, eager to know who the opponents of Shohoku's group would be.

Kiminobu Kogure looked around and asked curiously, "Kara, didn't Jack Carter come with you? Why didn't we see him?"

When Kara Smith heard this, she looked helpless and said with some self-blame, "Because I had to go get the game schedule, I asked Jack to come to the basketball hall by himself, and he didn't come!"

Kiminobu Kogure smiled and waved his hand, saying nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's the same as long as you're here."

The other members of Shohoku were already used to this, and everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything.

After all, Jack Carter's strength is there.

Next, everyone began to search the schedule and soon found Shohoku's name.

"Our first opponent is Miuradai!" Ryota Miyagi said thoughtfully.

He didn't know much about Miuradai.

Ayako explained: "Miuradai is also very strong! They had a very good performance last year, and they won all the way until they met Kainan and unfortunately lost. I heard that they trained extra hard this year in order to defeat Kainan!"

Hanamichi Sakuragi scratched his head and asked curiously, "Kainan? Are they very powerful?"

Kiminobu Kogure patiently explained: "Sakuragi, Kainan is not just good. They have entered the national tournament for 16 consecutive years and are a well-known strong team across the country."

"Haha...what's there to be afraid of? With my genius Hanamichi Sakuragi here, I will definitely beat the crap out of them!" Hanamichi Sakuragi said loudly with his hands on his hips and a smug look on his face.

"Hmph, how shameless." At this time, a voice came from the back of the team, mercilessly confronting Hanamichi Sakuragi.

"What did you say, you androgynous guy!" Hanamichi Sakuragi was instantly furious and turned around to retort.

The person who came was none other than Hisashi Mitsui.

At this time, he had returned to the basketball team.

He seemed to have completely changed his appearance.

The previously flamboyant long hair had been cut off, replaced by a refreshing and neat short hairstyle.

The two missing front teeth in his mouth were replaced with dentures. He looked energetic, handsome, and steady.

The story begins the day after Jack Carter's last duel with Kaede Rukawa.

On that day, Hisashi Mitsui came to the basketball team with a group of tough guys, intending to cause trouble for Jack Carter and get back at him for being scared last time.

But he didn't know that Jack Carter had no sense of time.

When he arrived at the basketball court, he did not see Jack Carter, so he took out his anger on Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, and others.

Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa naturally would not stand there and be humiliated, so they started a fight.

Later, when Jack Carter and Kara Smith arrived at the basketball hall, the incident came to an end.

Jack Carter only saw Hisashi Mitsui kneeling in front of Coach Anzai, crying and saying something like he wanted to play basketball.

The day after this incident, Hisashi Mitsui returned to the team with a different look.

Perhaps he still had some resentment in his heart, so as soon as he saw Jack Carter, he challenged him.

The result is predictable.

Witnessed by everyone, Hisashi Mitsui was outplayed to the point of doubting his life.

At this point, Hisashi Mitsui had to admit that Jack Carter's strength was indeed far superior to his.

Hisashi Mitsui pointed his finger at a spot on the schedule and said seriously, "If we want to challenge Kainan, we must defeat Shoyo first."

Although he has been away from the basketball team for two years, he still remembers some famous strong teams.

Ayako nodded in agreement and added, "Mitsui-senpai is right. Shoyo was the second place last year, second only to Kainan in strength."

At this time, Kara Smith took out a stack of information and began to distribute it to everyone one by one, saying as she distributed it, "This is the information about Miuradai that I have compiled. Everyone, take a look first!"

Everyone took the information, glanced at the contents recorded on it, and their eyelids began to twitch wildly.

**Name:** Kengo Murasame (Captain of the Miuradai basketball team)

**Back number:** No. 4

**Position:** Small forward

**Grade:** Third grade

**Height:** 186cm

**Weight:** 69.2kg

**Personality:** Arrogant and conceited, he has no respect for other teams. He is good at making small fouls behind the referee's back, and he will do anything to win, with no sports ethics.

**Suggestion:** Ignore the opponent's verbal provocation. When facing him, expose yourself to the referee's field of vision as much as possible. Avoid close contact unless necessary. Use passing instead of dribbling to attack.

**Name:** Kazuo Araki

**Back number:** No. 5

**Position:** Point Guard

**Grade:** Third grade

**Height:** 187cm

**Weight:** 67kg

**Personality:** He is frivolous and likes to talk trash.

**Suggestion:** Ignore the opponent's verbal attacks and always be on guard against possible intentional fouls.

Looking at the detailed profile of each Miuradai player, everything is included, from strength analysis, character analysis, to coping strategies.

The Shohoku people, who were already aware of Kara Smith's intelligence gathering capabilities, were able to remain calm.

But it was the first time for Ryota Miyagi and Hisashi Mitsui to meet each other, and they were completely shocked and stunned.

Is this really something a human can do?

If you don't know, you might think Kara Smith is a relative of Miuradai!

How come you even have the other coach's information?

What are your favorite foods and hobbies?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

Even for a professional spy, it would be difficult to investigate in such detail!

At this moment, Ryota Miyagi and Hisashi Mitsui looked at Kara Smith with awe in their eyes.

They just felt that they had no secrets in front of each other, they were naked and cold.

Kara Smith continued, "Miuradai's overall strength is average, but it's worth noting that they recruited a new player this year, Tetsuya Naito. He's 196cm tall and weighs 155kg. He was on the rugby team before but was spotted by the basketball coach and moved to the basketball team. We only know that he's very fast, running 100 meters in 11 seconds, and he should be very strong as well."

First-year student Toki Kuwata swallowed unconsciously and whispered, "It seems that Miuradai is not that scary after all."

Tomoya Sasaoka nodded, "Yeah, I think so too."

Tadashi Yamada seemed to have discovered a new world, and said excitedly: "I suddenly feel that being a manager has a very promising future."

Kiminobu Kogure had a faint smile on his face, but his smile showed some expectation and emotion: "No matter what, this is our last summer, Akagi."

"Yes." Akagi nodded with a serious expression and said loudly: "Okay, we must win. First, we have to defeat Miuradai."

"Oh..." Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound echoed throughout the basketball hall.

Ryonan High School Basketball Hall.

"Defense... defense... defense..."

The cheers that broke through the sky were endless.

Ryonan's players are tirelessly practicing within the team, and everyone's face is full of seriousness and concentration.

Hikoichi Aida looked at everyone, feeling both happy and worried. "Since losing to Shohoku last time, everyone has been under tremendous pressure, and it all stems from one person."

When he thought of Jack Carter who was dominating on the court that day, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

There is excitement, but also a hint of fear.

I am excited because Jack Carter is so strong.

He had never seen a player so strong.

The fear is also because Jack Carter is too strong.

If they meet in a match, it is unknown whether Ryonan can beat that person.

Thinking of this, he also opened his voice and shouted: "Everyone, come on!"

On the rooftop of the Shohoku teaching building.

Ahaha…

Jack Carter yawned loudly and slowly opened his eyes.

The setting sun on the horizon was like a huge fireball, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red color.

He looked at the sunset with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "The sun is about to set!"

He straightened up, as if he suddenly remembered something. "I think Kara told me something before? Strange... why can't I remember it?"

"Oh, right, I still have to go to the basketball court for training." Just as he was about to stand up, he shook his head again, "Forget it, it's so late now, I probably won't be able to catch up with training if I go now."

"I'm just hungry, so I'd better go home first. We'll talk about training tomorrow." Thinking of this, he stood up, dusted himself off, turned around, and slowly left the rooftop.

The other side.

Kara Smith was sitting in the classroom of Class 7, Grade 1, with her arms folded across her chest, looking very angry. She kept muttering, "Where on earth did that big idiot Jack go?"
