100 power stones :)
...
[You defeated the team Hayama Kotarō was on, and you broke into the Top 16.]
[Your outstanding performance attracted the attention of fans nationwide. Homi Academy was hailed as the biggest dark horse of this year's National Tournament.]
[You gained the attention and attention of many high school powerhouses.]
[Your teammates also gained the attention of these teams to a certain extent.]
[You became household basketball stars in Tochigi Prefecture.]
[Morning Okukozome published an article in the youth section the next day with the title "Please, help Tochigi Prefecture win something."]
[The National Tournament held its first sports meeting in 1917, 90 years ago.]
[But in the long time of nearly a century, the National Tournament Top 32 is already the best result for Tochigi Prefecture's basketball project.]
[Tochigi Prefecture people want to win something, even if they know your next opponent is the defending champion Teiko Middle School.]
[With the increase in fame, your name and Homi Academy also reached the ears of one person.]
[A main rotation player of Teiko Middle School named Fujimura Kentaro, upon learning that Tochigi Prefecture hopes Homi Academy can defeat Teiko, let out harsh words.]
["He is excellent; undoubtedly he is an outstanding player, but that is different."]
["I know his stats are luxurious, but that is Tochigi Prefecture, a 'village' with a population of only 160,000. I have played there; I know how easy it is to get good-looking stats there."]
["I don't mean to belittle Qin Cang (Yuuto), and of course, I won't be jealous of him. His stats, even placed in the Tokyo area, can reach the level of averaging 20+ points per game."]
["If Homi Academy were in the Tokyo area, could Qin Cang lead them to the main National Tournament?"]
["No, this is impossible. Those are two completely different intensities of competition."]
[Fujimura Kentaro's words angered the people of Tochigi Prefecture.]
[He was once a part of this place, a genius of Tochigi Prefecture in elementary school, and received an invitation from the Tochigi Prefecture overlord.]
[But his father, considering the current situation of Tochigi Prefecture, chose to send the child to the powerhouse Teiko in the developed area of Tokyo, hoping to use Teiko as a springboard to embark on the path of a professional player.]
[So Qin Cang cannot win, and Homi Academy cannot win either! He believes he is the most outstanding genius of this generation in Tochigi Prefecture. Even if he is only a substitute at Teiko, he is still the best player in Tochigi Prefecture, and the people there should be proud of him.]
[The morning anger of Tochigi Prefecture people was ignited.]
[Every time Homi Academy and the other Four Heavenly Kings and other teams fought in this year's National Tournament, the fans would tit for tat.]
[But if an outsider dares to disrespect them, then the people of Tochigi Prefecture will unite against the outside.]
[Except for Sakurai Ryō, all members of Homi Academy are locals. Including Qin Cang, their adoptive parents were born on this land, and the people of Tochigi Prefecture treat him as one of them.]
[Morning Okukozome reporters interviewed on the street. A lumberjack roared excitedly at the camera.]
["He has long forgotten where he was born. He went to the big city to play for Teiko. He betrayed us."]
[In a cafe, several young girls splashed coffee on Fujimura Kentaro's head in the newspaper.]
["He used to be a nice person, but now he has become an arrogant bastard."]
[Another girl continued, "All of us hope to date Qin Cang, but if the object is Fujimura, even if he is willing to lick my toes, I will refuse without hesitation."]
[Even an old grandmother said to the camera with full energy, "That child is too rude. He has become contaminated with the arrogance of big city people. He has lost the precious qualities of Tochigi Prefecture people."]
[Fujimura Kentaro successfully angered all fans in Tochigi Prefecture. The report about you running back to school was regarded by the people of Tochigi Prefecture as a manifestation of the spirit of Tochigi Prefecture not willing to lag behind and continuously striving.]
[You came to the basketball club again and found that everyone's attitude became different. Except for Sakurai Ryō, their fighting spirit was exceptionally high.]
[You feel that today you guys will play the most outstanding game of this year's National Tournament.]
[You took the subway to the competition venue.]
[The scene was very lively. More than 20,000 fans poured in today. This is Tokyo, not the countryside place of Tochigi Prefecture. This arena is full of technology.]
[Today, the scene welcomed many passionate Tochigi Prefecture fans. They shouted loudly to cheer for you.]
[In contrast, the local fans in the Tokyo area seemed very quiet, their eyes revealing disdain when looking at you.]
[They look down on you bunch of country bumpkins, thinking you are a group of savage and uneducated hillbillies!]
[You felt something beyond the game, a class struggle!]
[Fujimura Kentaro appeared. imitating everything of Tokyo people, cool hairstyle, proud eyes facing his hometown fans.]
["This bastard." Ota glared angrily, wanting to go over and say something.]
["Enough. In ten minutes, this guy will look like a disheveled wild ghost, if he can play in the game." You responded coldly.]
[The referee started the game. Murasakibara Atsushi easily won the right to attack first for Teiko from Ota.]
[Fujimura Kentaro started today; this was his request.]
[Teiko's head coach is no longer Shirogane Kozo. This head coach who helped Teiko build the foundation of a powerhouse is currently recuperating at home.]
[Replacing Shirogane Kozo is his assistant coach. He did not agree to Fujimura Kentaro's voluntary request, but Akashi Seijuro agreed.]
[Fujimura Kentaro actively asked for the ball, and Akashi passed it over.]
[You dislike the noise at the scene. Elegant as he (Akashi) is, he has no concept of class, but this does not mean that Tochigi Prefecture people can yell at the Teiko he leads.]
[Teiko's existence is absolute!]
[Fujimura held the ball outside the three-point line after receiving it, feinted a shot, and then drove forcefully.]
[He shook off your starting point guard in just one step. He plays shooting guard, but Teiko's shooting guard can only be Midorima Shintarō, so today Teiko played 3 guards.]
[As a guard, he has a model similar to yours. Before your No. 1's knees had time to bend, Fujimura's slender figure had already swept past him like a cheetah.]
[After passing the person, Fujimura pointed straight to the paint, then jumped high holding the basketball. His gliding distance was already excellent for his height.]
[He planned to use this gliding dunk at the start to tell the folks in Tochigi Prefecture, and more importantly, to tell you, that even as a substitute at Teiko, he is still the strongest player of the current generation in Tochigi Prefecture.]
[The countryside is always the countryside.]
[You started. You rushed towards him.]
[The speed of 80 points makes your start look like a 0-frame startup.]
[You arrived first despite starting later. Waving your arm in mid-air, you slapped the basketball in his hand away. At the same time, you had physical contact with him in mid-air.]
[He was knocked flying by you!]
