Chapter 7: End

In the tense atmosphere of the stadium, both teams went off the court to rest. The mood at Teikō Junior High School was somber, but on the Jianguang Middle School side, the teammates happily surrounded Aizen as they walked back to the rest area.

As soon as Aizen sat down, a team member handed him a towel and water.

The coach was very excited: "Well played, Aizen, but be careful in the last quarter and don't get complacent."

"Oh, coach, what are you talking about? The seniors played casually on the court,you're being too cautious."(A/N:the teammates are the ones that are talking)

Although everyone might not be top-notch at basketball, they could see that the coach's level wasn't very high, so they didn't feel too restrained around him. The coach was usually easygoing and often joked with them.

Seeing the players teasing him, the coach was embarrassed and a little annoyed. "What are you doing? Sit down and let's discuss tactics quickly."

Aizen also cooperated with the coach at this time, saying: "Okay, listen to the coach's arrangements. There's still one quarter left."

After all, he was the coach. Although he might not be very capable, he deserved respect.

Unlike Jianguang's happy atmosphere, Teikō was more depressed.

After the game, no one spoke. After all, Kise kept his head down, as if he had been beaten.

He didn't say a word, so how could the others dare to speak? They could only listen to the coach's comforting words and his attempts to arrange some targeted tactics.

Everyone felt that time passed very slowly, and they didn't know how long it had been.

Finally, a player couldn't help but whisper, "How about we call Aomine?"

Although the voice was very small, it was still very loud in this quiet environment.

The voice clearly penetrated everyone's ears, making them all tremble.

It's no wonder they reacted this way. After all, Aomine's strength was deeply ingrained in their minds. He was the trump card of the Miracle Generation.

Their mentality had long been broken by Aizen. Now, whenever they opened their mouths, the first name that came up was Aomine Daiki.

It's not that the other "miracles" weren't powerful, but for ordinary players like them, the "trump cards" seemed more formidable.

"Yes, if Aomine-kun comes, we will definitely win."

"There's still time!"

"Not just Aomine-senpai, but any of the other seniors could help too."

One person started it, and soon everyone joined in. It was clear that everyone now shared the same opinion: they needed to call for help.

The players who spoke looked at Kise, who still didn't say a word. Even the coach looked at Kise, hoping he would agree to this plan.

The coach had wanted to call the rest of the main players since the end of the second quarter.

He wanted to call the rest of the main players over, thinking that even one would be enough to turn the game around.

But when he told Kise about this plan, Kise firmly refused.

Out of respect for the Miracle Generation, the coach agreed.

But after three quarters of the game, the coach realized that they couldn't underestimate their opponents.

After all, there were strong players outside their own team, and the Miracle Generation might not be the absolute strongest.

At least there were players who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them!

The coach made up his mind and looked at Kise. "Kise, you can't be stubborn anymore. Go and call the rest of the main playe--"

Just as he was about to say to call the other main players, Kise, who had been lifeless, suddenly looked up.

His eyes were full of determination.

"Coach, please don't call them. Let me lead the team and try."

"I will do my best to win the game. This is an opportunity for me. I feel like I can grow from this."

"I hope you agree to my request this time. Please!"

Kise stood up and bowed to the second-team coach with a very sincere attitude.

This stunned the surrounding players.

Kise, a prodigy, usually seemed like someone from another world in their eyes.

How could they not be surprised that he would make such a gesture at this time?

Coach Teikō was shocked by Kise's sudden action but also felt the determination in his eyes.

Originally, he thought he would call the first team to maintain Teikō's undefeated status.

Now, seeing Kise like this, especially being watched by his determined eyes, he changed his mind.

"Okay, in that case, let's do it your way."

"However, you still have to do your best to win the game, and after the game, Akashi--"

"Thank you, coach. Don't worry, Akashi will be left to me."

"Alright, get ready to play."

After seeing the coach agree to his request, Kise said a few encouraging words to his teammates.

The last quarter of the game began!

...

The fourth quarter was very intense.

Kise still faced Aizen, and the two had wins and losses.

Although there was still a gap between him and Aizen, Kise did not show any fear in the fourth quarter.

And Kise was indeed a genius. Aizen could clearly feel that his opponent had improved in the last quarter.

During this time, Kise scored several goals, even showing traces of Aomine Daiki's style.

Of course, a genius who hasn't fully matured is just a genius, while Aizen, who was currently facing him, was already a strong player.

The ending was not unexpected.

"Whistle!" The fourth quarter ended.

98:80, a big lead and a decisive victory!

At the end of the game, Aizen's teammates were excited and jumped around, shouting.

Dahe was the first to rush to Aizen, followed by the rest of the teammates.

They lifted him high!

"Oh!"

"We won!"

"We actually beat Teikō, this is awesome!"

Aizen was also very happy. He was thrilled that there were no mishaps and that he was about to complete the system task.

He wanted to check the reward immediately, but the current situation didn't allow it, so he could only wait for a while.

The Teikō fans who watched them celebrate were not as hostile as before.

Many people applauded, and the girls screamed to attract Aizen's attention.

This reaction was not surprising given what they had seen throughout the game.

The No. 3 player on the opposing team named Aizen was indeed strong. Even their own "Miracle Generation" Kise was not his match at the moment.

It was clear they had no complaints about the loss, as the game was very exciting.

They were convinced, truly convinced!

But in addition to being convinced, they were also curious about where the other main players were.

...

At the Teikō campus, a pink-haired girl was walking toward the gym.

At the same time, she was muttering, "Damn Aomine, where did you disappear to again?"

"Don't let me catch you!"

"..."
