Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

"Thank you coach."

"Alright! You should go back and get some rest too."

"Yes, coach."

park.

Basketball court.

A figure was practicing shooting continuously.

A sudden stop and jump shot.

Turn around and shoot from behind.

three-pointer.

Looking at the basketball lying to the side, Ueno wiped the sweat from his forehead, his gaze suddenly becoming somewhat blank.

Picking up the basketball, Ueno sat on a bench and looked up at the starry sky.

He has been in this world for almost half a year now, and he is gradually getting used to it.

I'm used to practicing basketball every day, and I'm used to playing basketball.

At the same time, Ueno finally discovered his biggest problem.

Style and rhythm.

The style and rhythm of playing basketball.

From the very beginning of the match, Ueno hadn't noticed this about himself.

Until I met Haizaki.

If it weren't for the other person, it might have taken him some more time to discover his own problem.

He also realized that he was practically a carbon copy of Aomine Daiki.

Although it may also be due to the system's lottery system.

He gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless. If it weren't for Haizaki today, he might not have even noticed this.

His biggest foundation right now is ZONE.

This "gate" is accessible to only a very few people.

With a thoughtful look in his eyes, Ueno looked down at the basketball at his feet.

In the original storyline, ZONE had two gates.

The first door of ZONE.

Ueno can be directly activated through the system.

The second gate, however, requires him to overcome on his own.

This is another reason why he is confused.

In fact, the first key to ZONE is to strengthen individual skills, while the second key is to strengthen the team's overall strength.

Furthermore, the second gate can compensate for some of the shortcomings of the first gate.

As for the second door, it can make up for the shortcomings of the first door.

It's because when you open the second door, you empower everyone, and your partners and team will create shooting opportunities for you.

There are also scoring opportunities like dunks, which ensures that an individual's physical strength has time to recover even as it declines rapidly.

It also clarified that basketball is not a sport for one person, but a sport for five people.

In other words, the second door cannot be opened by one person alone.

In the original storyline, Kuroko is the second gatekeeper for Kagami and Aomine.

As for why Kagami only learned about ZONE after Aomine, but opened the second gate before Aomine, the reason is simple.

Because Qingfeng abandoned all his partners, or rather, he only believed in himself.

Therefore, no matter how capable Aomine is, it is impossible for him to open the second door.

In other words, Qingfeng himself gave up the second gate.

However, Kagami believed in Kuroko from beginning to end and recognized Kuroko's basketball, which is why Kuroko was able to open the second door for him, or rather, why Kagami was able to open the second door.

The later theatrical version also shows that only by firmly believing in your teammates, and having them believe in you in return, can you open the second door.

Thinking of this, Ueno picked up the water glass next to him, took a sip, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

In my past life, when I read fan fiction, the protagonists were always invincible from the very beginning, or something like that.

Turning on the ZONE is as easy as drinking water.

There are absolutely no zone requirements or restrictions.

Furthermore, he possesses a plethora of invincible skills, making it easy for him to take on five opponents at once.

He's fine with one-on-one matches now, but what about later?

Basketball games don't allow you to play one-on-one.

It's all five against five.

Ueno was speechless. Why was it so troublesome when it came to him?

Although his strength can be said to be among the top tier, don't forget...

There are even more powerful ones to come.

Especially when "Jabberwock" appeared in the later theatrical version!

Even when the Age of Miracles reunited and everyone activated the ZONE, they still almost couldn't defeat "Jabberwock".

That is, the "Bomb Neck Dragon Team".

If it weren't for Akashi Seijuro's other personality sacrificing himself at a crucial moment, allowing the two personalities to merge into one, neither of them might have been a match for the Neck-Blast Dragon Team.

However, they are still far from having the strength they had back then.

so.

Ueno sometimes wonders if he has a second door.

After all, his first gateway was provided by the system.

Looking at the pitch-black night, gazing at the starry sky.

When Ueno came into this world, he felt lost for the first time. He sighed softly and muttered in bewilderment.

"What exactly is my style? And who will be my gatekeeper?"

Chapter 43 The Shocked People of Dongzhong

The next morning.

Sitting on the bus.

Ueno subconsciously looked at his teammates beside him.

However, after a moment, he couldn't help but sigh to himself again.

As for the reason, it's simple.

He wondered if Kurumiya Sora and the others could open a ZONE, but after much deliberation, his hope was almost zero.

Firstly, it's about personality; secondly, it's about talent.

Ueno glanced again at Sora, who was filled with excitement and exhilaration, and gave another wry smile.

Based on my animal instincts, I doubt even Kurumiya Sora and the others can activate this thing.

After all, certain conditions are required to awaken one's animal instincts.

do not know why.

Ueno instinctively thought of Haizaki, driven by her wild instincts.

This guy wasn't qualified to open a ZONE in the original series.

However, the other party's personality is somewhat suited to activating beast instincts.

Furthermore, the other party is skilled at plundering, or to put it more politely, has a strong learning ability.

Unfortunately, the other team wasn't his team.

Although he won the match yesterday, his opponent did not agree to his terms for the match.

At this moment, almost everyone on the Dongda bus had arrived, except for the instructor.

While everyone waited quietly for the coach.

Amidst the shocked and surprised gazes of the crowd, a figure with hands in pockets, dark circles under his eyes, and a somewhat impatient expression slowly walked onto the bus.
