The first team’s training was in full swing, proceeding with great fervor.
Although the third team wasn't as strong, they seemed to have also become tense as the national tournament approached.
Because this was the time when schools typically exchanged players.
The third team and the second team were responsible for these exchanges.
From the strengths of these players, you could roughly estimate the strength of each other’s starting lineups.
At the very least, you could see a lower limit!
Kuroko Tetsuya and Aomine Daiki trained relentlessly, their basketballs were worn down to the skin, and they had already gone through two pairs of sneakers. It was undeniable that they were working hard.
At the same time, following Xuan Yu Fei Shuang’s reminder, they bought magic-related books to study.
After a period of study, Kuroko Tetsuya felt he had gained some insight. He might be able to do some inconceivable things.
All of this still existed in theory.
To realize it, he had to play in a match, perfect his theory during the game.
“Aomine-kun! I feel like my efforts are paying off! I want to participate in the regular practice matches. I think I can succeed in the game!”
Kuroko Tetsuya immediately told Aomine Daiki the news.
Aomine Daiki was overjoyed after hearing this.
“That’s great! Your skills have finally improved, Tetsuya!”
Even Aomine Daiki, with his overflowing enthusiasm, was a little helpless about Kuroko Tetsuya’s improvement.
Hearing this news, he was naturally happy, and it was worth all the time he had spent with Kuroko Tetsuya.
If he still hadn't improved his skills, it would have been a little embarrassing for Aomine Daiki, wouldn’t it?
Thus, Kuroko Tetsuya took the court, while Aomine Daiki watched from the bench.
“Kuroko! Catch the ball!”
Everyone knew he needed to verify his theory in a real game, so they actively passed the ball.
When Kuroko Tetsuya saw the ball coming, his expression turned serious. The basketball he had just received was passed out again!
The next moment, the basketball was in the hands of an opposing player.
The player who got the ball stood frozen on the spot.
“Huh?”
Was this really happening?
Even with coordination, it was your teammates’ coordination, opponents wouldn’t let you do that!
Seeing this scene, the third team’s manager shook his head.
Aomine Daiki had a black line on his forehead.
“This... this pass is so bad, even a dog would shake its head!”
Hearing Aomine Daiki’s words, the third team manager’s forehead veins popped!
This dog, if you can’t speak, say less!
Following this, Kuroko Tetsuya’s performance continued to worsen, not as good as before.
His teammates one by one lost their enthusiasm and became a little impatient.
“Aomine! I think you guys are here to make fun of me!”
The third team manager, with a dark face, left!
Aomine Daiki wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t.
He couldn’t blame others, Kuroko Tetsuya’s performance was indeed a bit too forced.
On the court, Kuroko Tetsuya was also a little discouraged.
As expected, he was being a bit presumptuous. Some things aren’t so easy to achieve!
After this incident, a few days later, Kuroko Tetsuya was called to the manager’s office.
“Kuroko-kun, thank you for your love for the basketball club, but your presence in the basketball club may cause some trouble for our entire basketball club!”
The manager pushed a piece of paper over.
Kuroko Tetsuya picked it up and took a look.
A withdrawal notice!
Kuroko Tetsuya’s eyes widened, momentarily unable to accept it!
“Manager! Doesn’t the third team accept anyone who loves basketball? Why are you kicking me out?”
Kuroko Tetsuya didn’t understand.
In his knowledge, the only players Teikou expelled were those who violated rules or were undisciplined. Where had he done something wrong?
The manager shook his head and said:
“It's true that we accept those who love basketball, but since you joined the basketball club, you have not only not improved, but have been regressing. This kind of performance will bring shame to Teikou's basketball club! We are a powerhouse in basketball! It might not be suitable for Kuroko-kun here!”
Hearing the manager speak so frankly, Kuroko Tetsuya’s face also turned white.
He clenched the withdrawal notice in his hand tightly!
“Okay! I understand! Sorry for the interruption, manager!”
Kuroko Tetsuya turned and walked out.
After walking out of the basketball club, Kuroko Tetsuya’s straight posture slumped.
“Promise! I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even stay in the basketball club!”
Xuan Yu Fei Shuang and the others came out together and saw Kuroko Tetsuya immediately.
“Hey? Kuroko seems a bit off!”
Due to Aomine Daiki, they had a good relationship with Kuroko Tetsuya.
They would often chat together casually.
“Let’s go take a look!”
Aomine Daiki, the first to speak, walked over.
Seeing Kuroko Tetsuya’s appearance, Aomine Daiki’s heart skipped a beat.
“Tetsuya! What’s wrong?”
Seeing Aomine Daiki come over, Kuroko Tetsuya turned, smiled at him, and then fell down.
“Kuroko!”
“Tetsuya!”
“Kuroko...”
Seeing Kuroko Tetsuya faint, Xuan Yu Fei Shuang and the others rushed over.
Xuan Yu Fei Shuang held Kuroko Tetsuya’s head, using his thumb to press his acupoint.
The intense pain caused Kuroko Tetsuya, who had only been unconscious for a few seconds, to wake up.
“Okay, okay! Let go, let go!”
Seeing Kuroko Tetsuya wake up, Xuan Yu Fei Shuang let out a sigh of relief and released his hand.
After Kuroko Tetsuya was released, he took a deep breath.
Oh my god!
Never faint again!
Especially when Xuan Yu Fei Shuang is around!
Akashi Seijūrō saw the withdrawal notice on the ground, picked it up, and took a look.
He understood why Kuroko Tetsuya had fainted.
He worked so hard every day, doing so much just to play basketball, yet the basketball club had no place for him.
Under this kind of blow, it was understandable that he fainted.
“Kuroko! Why did they expel you?”
Hearing Akashi Seijūrō’s words, Kuroko Tetsuya shook his head and smiled.
“Well! I’m too weak, you know!”
Midorima Shintaro also approached, seeing what Akashi Seijūrō was holding.
“Kuroko was kicked out of the basketball club! How could this happen!”
Just because he was too weak?
The others also had a change in their expressions.
Aomine Daiki glanced at Kuroko Tetsuya, turned, and ran towards the basketball club!
“What is Aomine-kun doing...”
Kuroko Tetsuya had a guess in his heart but still couldn’t believe it.
Xuan Yu Fei Shuang said in a low voice:
“What else could he be doing, just doing some stupid things, right? The same stupid things we want to do!”
