Chapter 160 Champion
Under the lights of the basketball court, Higashino felt that he was more like the focus of the crowd than the participating players in the middle of the stage.

A lot of people were looking at him, making his scalp tingle.

I'm really worried that someone dropped a grenade from the second floor and killed him.

But it was all an illusion, he did nothing wrong, everything was calm,
Before the start of the game, the participating players bowed and greeted the special guests. Orimo Takehiko responded blankly, and Higashino looked at the excited East China Sea basketball team and returned the greeting.

The opponents of the East China Sea Basketball Team, the Meiji Basketball Team, also had sparkling eyes.

They didn't get the autograph of the "Slam Dunk" booklet at the beginning, but today they are full of fighting spirit and are going to ask Higashi Higashino for his autograph after they win.

The competition was about to start, but the organizer specially added a special guest speech.

Orime Takehiko talked about his mental journey. In high school, he entered the top eight in the country, became the best scorer, and was the strongest high school student player in the country.

After college, he led the team and overcame obstacles all the way to win the national championship.

After becoming a professional basketball player, he is the absolute main force and has fought with many honors to this day.

Although his words were plain and straightforward, and his tone was flat, they aroused bursts of applause, which lasted for a long time.Because the story of Ori Mo Takehiko is a legend in itself.

The basketball players also looked at Orimo Takehiko eagerly, hoping to dominate the country like him.

Orimo Takehiko nodded with satisfaction, then handed the microphone to Higashino Hibiki, and sat down after bowing himself.

Higashino stood up and hadn't spoken yet, but was overwhelmed by the cheers of the audience.

Orimo Takehiko smiled helplessly.

Higashino waited for half a minute, the sound gradually died down, and then he spoke: "I am very honored to be able to watch the game up close today."

He said that he was playing basketball in high school, and before painting "Soul of Chess", he already had the idea of ​​"Slam Dunk".But I was worried that my lack of ability would affect the performance of this work, so I first drew the easier-to-draw "Soul of Chess".

After more than two years of training as a painter, I finally think I have the ability to create "Slam Dunk". I am grateful to the readers for their love and I am flattered by my influence.

The applause resounded through the sky.

"That's amazing, Mr. Akino Tori!" Kikuchi Hidemi said cheerfully and loudly to Yamamura Morido.

"He is indeed a person with clear goals and very hard work." Yamamura Morimichi said complicatedly.

After the scene is quiet.

"I hope that the players of the Donghai basketball team and the Meiji basketball team can give full play to their strengths and contribute heartily and without regrets to an audio-visual feast. I have wasted everyone's time."

He handed the microphone to the staff, indicating that the next activity can also start.

"That's Mr. Akino Bird!"

"He himself is so young and so handsome. It seems that he is only about 25 years old."

"Only 20 years old, you fake fan."

"Teacher, he is working too hard."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and it was not until the game officially started that it gradually shifted to today's focus.

……

Higashino went out to participate in the event, and the assistants still had to work.

What I draw today is still the match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, Oda is getting more and more angry as he draws.

He is still remembering Akira Yamazaki's evaluation.

"What a child's work!"

With this idea in mind, when he drew the background of "Slam Dunk", he suddenly had an idea. In the auditorium, he drew a very obvious person, that is the protagonist of "Sailor Moon" - Sailor Moon.

Then he smiled smugly, "Let me, a Go player who doesn't understand current affairs, see the influence of "Sailor Moon"."

Unlike the easter eggs I painted before, "Sailor Moon" is a work with the same influence as "Slam Dunk". When readers see Sailor Moon in the audience, they will definitely discuss it with great interest.

It might become a hot topic.

"What's wrong? Oda-san?" Yoshii Sanhisa asked strangely.

"I remembered happy things." Oda replied.

……

Orimo Takehiko looked at the scene and nodded from time to time.

"This momentum is really good." He praised: "Although the strength is insufficient, the spirit of fighting on the field is much stronger than many professional athletes."

"The basketball players in the student days worked hard with their hobbies." Higashino spoke.

Trying his best and burning his youth, Higashino no longer thinks about the result of the victory or defeat at this time, but just wants to watch such a wonderful game seriously.

No matter which side is the champion, he can accept it.

"This game is very similar to the friendly match between Shonhoku and Lingnan," Orimo Takehiko continued: "The difference in points is very small, so it can better stimulate the fighting spirit of the basketball players."

Fifteen minutes into the first half of the game, Donghai trailed by three points and was only one three-pointer away from tying the score.

The two sides did not spare physical strength, and the friction sound of the soles kept coming and going. When Fengnan, the captain of the Meiji basketball team, rushed to Donghai's basket, Taketo Kanda intercepted it in time and passed the basketball leader to Tianbei.

"Return to defense!" Feng Nan shouted.

The situation was reversed, and the players on both sides quickly ran to the Meiji basket.

Tianbei and Yagami worked together, passed the ball continuously, and broke through Meiji's defense.

Outside the three-point line, facing the pressing of the Meiji players, Tian Bei passed the basketball to Yeshen in time.

Ye Shen got the basketball, and he jumped high.

"Don't even think about it!" Hirota immediately jumped up and stretched out his big hand.

"Bang!"

Goal!
At the critical moment, Ye Shen jumped back and evaded Hirota's defense. The basketball was thrown high and hit the center of the basket!
"Oh!"

"East China Sea!"

"East China Sea!"

At the end of the first half, Donghai tied the score, and the two sides entered the same starting line again.

Ye Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and still had to fight.

……

"Future Society".

"The first three episodes of "Funny Manga Hiyori" have been produced, and the follow-up content is also in progress in an orderly manner," Amano said to Ozawa expectantly: "It can be broadcast on TV."

Ozawa nodded happily, "I think there is no problem."

He looked at the result, even if the painting collapsed, it didn't deviate from the style of the work, or rather, it would be better this way.

"Where's the president?" Amano asked, "It's time to report the results to him."

Ozawa's expression became subtle, "Probably he was watching a basketball game."

"Eh?" Amano was dumbfounded.

Asahina heard their conversation with a thoughtful expression.

Regarding this aspect, she actually has some channels, so don't bother Hibiki Higashino.

But she was worried that it would affect Higashihiro's arrangement, so she didn't speak.

……

It's the last 5 minutes of the basketball game.

The athletes had no strength, and everyone was sweating and panting.

"Come on! Another goal!"

Ye Shen dribbled the ball, and he stretched out a finger to motivate the players.

"Yes!" The others echoed loudly.

Immediately, the morale of the Donghai basketball team was even higher.

in the audience.

"It was a wonderful game." Yamamura Morido praised.

In addition to the superb strength of the two teams, their fighting spirit is even more admired by Yamamura Shoudao.

It's hard for him to imagine that an energy conservationist like him would spend his energy so freely.

"Yeah!" Kikuchi Hidemi nodded, "I haven't watched such a tragic game for a long time."

Time came to the last 30 seconds.

Higashino looked at the score, and Dongkai became more involved with Meiji, 87:86.

"It must be scored!" Fengnan made a three-pointer!
His eyes were tearing open, staring at the basketball.

But due to physical exhaustion, the ball hit the basket.

"Let me do it!" Hirota jumped up and made a strong rebound!
But on top of him, the shadow of Hirota's body fell, and Hua Chao grabbed the rebound with great momentum, which also ended such a game.

With the whistle of the game falling, Meiji never recovered from the gap of one point.

"East China Sea!"

"Victory belongs to the East China Sea!"

Here comes the champion!
Under the victory of the East China Sea basketball team, the Meiji players shed tears.

They were able to qualify as the runner-up, but the loss to Donghai still dealt a big blow to the Meiji basketball team.
