MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 53 basketball department

   Chapter 53 Basketball Club

   Gymnasium, basketball club

   When Kato Yusuke came here, the training of the basketball club had already started, and the members were running around the edge of the court in variable speed.

   briefly explained her purpose, the girl who seemed to be the manager of the club soon found the person in charge.

   "Mizusawa-senpai, can you come over here for a while?"

   Looking in the direction of her shouting, I saw a tall boy standing in the field. Hearing the girl's cry, the person called Mizusawa came to the two after explaining two words to the members.

   "What's the matter, Matsuko?" he asked dignifiedly.

   "This first-year boy wants to apply for admission, can I trouble you?"

   "Oh." Mizusawa suddenly lost interest, glanced at Kato Yusuke and said, "Then hand in the application for admission, and then go directly to the training..."

   "Wait a minute." Kato Yusuke interrupted him, "Before that, I want to take your test first."

   Mizusawa frowned, "Have you played basketball before?"

   Kato Yusuke shook his head.

   "Then what do you mean?" Mizusawa's tone became unpleasant, "You said that you want to apply for admission and then say that you want to participate in the assessment. Can I think you are provocative?"

   "Actually, it should be a consideration." Kato Yusuke thought for a while and said, "If the situation meets expectations, I will consider joining the department, but not yet."

   Hearing his words, Mizusawa was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and looked at the basketball manager who was a little overwhelmed.

   "Pine nuts."

"…Yes!"

   "Can I trouble you to bring us a ball?"

   "Ah, alright." The girl immediately ran to the side of the ball box and took a basketball back, "Here, Mizusawa-senpai."

   "Thank you." Mizusawa took the ball, patted it casually on the ground twice, and raised his chin at Yusuke Kato, "Come with me."

  The two walked into the court together, and their actions did not hide the attention of the surrounding.

   "Hey, look over there, something seems to have happened."

"What happened?"

   Everyone gathered their eyes.

   "Hey, that Mizusawa-senpai actually ended up in person, who is the other party?"

   "I don't know, but Matsuko seems to be making records over there. Could it be that he is evaluating newcomers?"

   "Then there's no need for Mizusawa-senpai? After all, in high school basketball, Mizusawa-senpai is already infinitely close to being a professional."

   "Hmm... that's true."

   In the crowd's discussion, Mizusawa threw the basketball to Kato Yusuke from beyond the three-point line, "Try a shot."

"it is good."

  The basketball came out of his hands, crossed a parabola in the air, and then fell to the ground.

  dong...dong...dong...dong...dong

  Three non-stick

   Mizusawa's mouth curved up.

  ‘Sure enough, no matter the posture of the shot or the jerky feeling when dribbling, he is a complete novice, and he knows where the courage and arrogance come from. ‘

  Let him teach him a lesson—the thought came to Mizusawa's mind. He picked up the basketball and looked at Yusuke Kato.

   "Let's limit it to three balls. I will defend it. As long as you can throw a ball without fouling, you are considered qualified. After that, no matter what you want to enter or whatever, you can do whatever you want."

   "On the contrary, if you can't do it..." Mizusawa narrowed his eyes and said, "As the price of offending others, you need to apologize to everyone here, okay?"

   "Reasonable request." Kato Yusuke nodded and said, "I have no problem."

   "Okay." Mizusawa nodded and looked at the manager beside him, "Then I'll trouble you to make a record, Matsuko."

   "Yes!" The girl called Matsuko clenched her fist and said, "I will work hard, senior!"

  ◇

   Kato Yusuke walked into the penalty ring with the ball, looked at Mizusawa who moved his body aside, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say it would interfere?"

   Mizusawa shrugged, put his hands on his waist and responded, "I will judge myself."

   Kato Yusuke did not say more, recalling the shooting posture of the players in the few NBA games he had seen in the past, aiming the ball at the basket and throwing it out.

  哐—

  The basketball hit the backboard and was picked up by Mizusawa.

"once."

   Mizusawa stretched out a finger and passed the ball back again.

This time, Kato Yusuke didn't hesitate. The moment he caught the ball, he immediately jumped in place, and his tall body rose from the ground. From Mizusawa's point of view, the sneakers on the opponent's feet had even reached his line of sight. the height of.

   The shocked expression is still frozen on his face

  哐—

   The basket shuddered twice and bounced the ball back again.

   Kato Yusuke picked up the ball and could not help frowning, as if recalling how he felt just now.

   "Liar..." The manager woman beside her muttered while covering her mouth.

  ‘Mizusawa-senpai’s height is 180cm, this freshman just now—’

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

   "I see." Mizusawa took a deep breath and said to Yusuke Kato, who frowned and thought, "A talented player, I underestimated you."

   His expression became serious, "You still have one last chance, but this time I won't let the water go, let the horses come!"

   Hearing what he said, Yusuke Kato nodded and took the ball to the three-point line again.

   Three points again? This is impossible to score - just when he thought so, he saw the opponent suddenly dribble and run.

   "Not a shot, but a layup?"

   Looking at Kato Yusuke who was running straight towards him, Mizusawa's face showed excitement and confidence at the same time, and shouted: "Don't underestimate me! First grader!"

  ‘Naive, the offensive line and intention are too obvious, such a ball can definitely be defended! ’

   A smile spread from the corner of his mouth—

  It was an instant

  The sky suddenly darkened, and the rustle of clothes whistled past his ears.

  咣—!

   The loud noise, far exceeding the sum of the decibels of the two previous sounds, suddenly sounded in the gymnasium.

   The backboard made a "squeaky" running-in sound, the basketball fell from the net, and then the black figure hanging on the basket jumped down.

   The inside of the stadium suddenly became audible for needles falling.

   The pen in the manager's hand fell to the ground, and the girl named Matsuko stared at the slowly approaching figure with wide eyes, and the Buddha was cast with a body-setting spell.

When    passed by, the boy's calm voice also entered her ears.

   "Sorry, thank you, for bothering you."

   then walked out and quickly disappeared behind the door.

   An indescribable atmosphere surged in the gym, and I don't know who started it first.

   "No, it's impossible, right?" A boy onlookers said intermittently, "That monster-like bouncing power... Is it really something that humans can do?"

   is like a stone thrown into the lake, the calm atmosphere is instantly broken.

  The crowd could not help but boil.

   "That Mizusawa-senpai... actually lost!"

   "It's unbelievable!"

   "Compared to that, who is that boy?!"

   "I don't know... Would you like to ask Mizusawa-senpai?"

  The crowd suddenly stagnates, and all kinds of eyes are cast towards the figure under the basket. Because his head is lowered, he can't see his expression clearly.

   "Senior...?" Matsuko ran over worriedly, "Are you all right?"

   "...Ah." A trembling voice came from Mizusawa's mouth, he slowly raised his head, shock and excitement caught in his eyes, and then said word by word.

   "Pine nuts."

"Yes Yes?!"

   "Please get that boy back!"

   "Huh, huh, huh-?!"

   "Please!" Mizusawa put his hands on her shoulders, "As long as we can do this, this year's national championship will definitely be ours!"

  …

   Thank you for your recommendation!

   Thank you [ZHIRUIFU] for the reward!
