Finally, Shinji Koganei spoke first.
"We lost by 100 points! We've probably become the laughing stock of high school basketball in the country!"
His voice was filled with frustration and helplessness.
After hearing his words, the already disappointed expressions of the people in Seirin became even more disappointed.
Their eyes were dull and lifeless, as if they had lost all hope.
Seeing this, Reiko Aida immediately spoke.
"Anyway, the game is over. We faced the strongest team in high school, and didn't we score 69 points? They only won by nearly three times our score. It's not like we haven't experienced similar things before."
Her words were full of encouragement and hope, trying to arouse everyone's fighting spirit.
However, the locker room remained silent.
Everyone's eyes were directed at Aida Reiko, and there was a strange look in their eyes.
There was confusion and puzzlement in their eyes, as if they were wondering if their coach had been so shocked that his brain was not working well.
Reiko Aida doesn't care what these people are thinking.
She raised her chin slightly, her eyes firm, and continued speaking.
"Okay, stop looking so sad. The outcome has already been decided. It's useless for us to be sad. We still have to compete with Tonghuang for the third place in the country. We must take it back this time after we lost in the summer."
Her words were full of fighting spirit and determination, like a burning flame, trying to ignite the dying fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
As soon as everyone heard the word "Tonghuang", they immediately perked up.
That’s right, they haven’t completely withdrawn from this tournament.
Although they have no chance of getting the first and second place, they still have a chance for the third place.
Even if the opponent is the Touou Academy that beat them badly in the summer, they cannot give up easily.
Hinata Junpei stood up, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down the feeling of loss in his heart.
Then, he spoke to everyone in a serious and solemn manner.
"We've been sad before, so let's get ready to face the next opponent! There's nothing to be sad about. We've already prepared ourselves mentally before the game. Now cheer up."
His voice was steady and powerful, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, bringing peace of mind to everyone.
Now that the captain had spoken, they naturally perked up.
Everyone straightened their backs, and the flame of fighting spirit was rekindled in their eyes.
Kuroko, who saw all of this, forced a smile onto his originally sad face.
Although the smile was faint, it was like a ray of sunshine in spring, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to people.
…
The other side.
Yin Yue held Sakurako's soft little hand tightly and strolled on the street.
His eyes kept scanning left and right, trying to find that familiar figure.
However, after searching for a long time, there was still no trace of Karubin.
"Where on earth did this guy go?"
Yin Yue muttered to himself. It had been quite some time since Kalubin disappeared, which made him a little worried.
However, he soon shook his head and thought to himself.
"Forget it, let's go back first! That guy is smarter than a monkey, nothing will happen to him. He knows the way back anyway."
Thinking of this, Yin Yue led Sakurako towards the hotel.
As they walked, Sakurako suddenly raised her head, looked at Yinyue with her big watery eyes, and spoke pitifully.
"Big brother, Sakura is hungry and wants to eat something delicious!"
Her voice was soft, like a little kitten acting coquettishly.
Hearing this, Yin Yue smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sunshine.
He patted Sakurako's little head lovingly and then spoke.
"Okay! Then I'll take you to a big dinner."
"Great! Big brother is the best. Sakurako likes big brother the most."
Sakurako jumped up with joy, her little face full of excitement, her bright smile like a blooming flower.
Her eyes were sparkling, full of anticipation for the delicious food.
Yin Yue looked at Sakurako's cute appearance, smiled and shook her head, thinking to herself.
"Karubin won't have that good fortune today."
…
In the bustling city of Tokyo, the cold wind was whistling like a knife, and people on the streets were wrapped in thick cotton clothes and walking in a hurry.
They either walked quickly with their heads down or hurried along with their necks shrunk, as if they wanted to escape from the cold as quickly as possible.
In this bustling crowd, a furry, snow-white cat with brown face, ears, tail and limbs was quietly hidden among them.
Its round, sapphire-like eyes were fixed on a certain spot in front of it, and its gaze was full of concentration and vigilance.
This was the Karubin who had suddenly run away.
When it was at the Tokyo Arena before, it suddenly felt a familiar breath.
It remembers this breath very clearly, it was the breath of a colorful ball of light.
As soon as he sensed this breath, Karubin ran out like a flash of lightning without saying a word.
Judging from the perception, the distance is not far.
But it never expected that the chase would last for several hours.
When it came out of the Tokyo Arena, it saw a middle-aged woman who was fat, wearing a thick down jacket, and looked like a ball.
