Popular characters in Kuroko

"The history of its basketball team can be traced back to the birth of the national competition. Like Luoshan, they have the deepest basketball heritage and team culture in the country."

"In the long history of national competitions, Kirisaki Daiichi also has its own glorious history."

"In the 80s, under XXXX's leadership, Kirisaki Daiichi made it to the national tournament three times in a row, defeating the three kings, Shutoku, Masakuni, and Izumi Shinkan, ending the reign of the three kings."

"That was Kirisaki Daiichi's golden generation. Back then, Kirisaki Daiichi was one of the strongest teams in the country, and its leader eventually became a well-known professional player."

"And now, after years of silence, Kirisaki Daiichi once again welcomes the Platinum Generation."

"Tiandao Jingyan, leader of the Generation of Miracles. Under his leadership, Teikou created an unbeatable odds, winning the national championship three times in a row."

"This player's ability is arguably the strongest in history. As early as junior high, Tiandao Jingyan was a nationally renowned hexagonal warrior. He could shoot three-pointers, tear through the opponent's defense and get to the penalty area, and he could also assist his teammates with superb passes..."

"As long as Tiandao Jingyan is on the court, you don't have to worry about the team's scoring. What's even more commendable is that he was also the best perimeter defender in the national competition during his junior high school years."

"No player has ever scored more than double digits in a single game against him."

"Now, the leader of the Generation of Miracles has come to Kirisaki First. As he enters high school, he remains as strong as ever."

"He didn't play much, only appearing twice in the qualifiers, but he helped Kirisaki Daiichi defeat Seirin, the biggest dark horse in the Tokyo region, and Toou, the tyrant of the Tokyo region."

"His versatility creates a good chemical reaction with Kirisaki Daiichi's ruthless style. We have every reason to believe that he has a great chance of helping Kirisaki Daiichi win their first national championship."

"Hanamiya Makoto, one of the Five Uncrowned Warriors, is a player whose reputation has always been controversial, and whose iron-fisted tactics terrify opponents. However, it is undeniable that he possesses a high level of skill that no one can ignore."

"As one of the five uncapped players, Hanamiya Makoto is extremely skilled at tackling. No opponent can easily pass the ball to him. His strong tackling ability complements Tiandao Jingyan, the nation's top scorer in counterattacks."

"Last year, he even defeated Teppei Muyoshi, who is also one of the five uncrowned champions, in a head-to-head match."

"It's rumored that Hanamiya Shin's I is as high as 160, making him a true prodigy. He can perfectly replicate and break any tactic with just one look. His presence will surely become a major asset in Tiandao Jingyan's quest for national dominance..."

After a lot of chatter, the Youth Sports Newspaper analyzed all the information about Kirisaki's first team member.

Including the characteristics of the players and the style of the team.

The reason why Kirisaki Daiichi can become an S-class team is also very simple.

First, they have the Generation of Miracles.

Second, they have five uncrowned generals.

These two points alone are enough to make Kirisaki Daiichi difficult to ignore.

If we say that the Generation of Miracles represents the strongest of this era.

Then the five uncrowned generals represent one of the strongest.

If I have to find a metaphor, it is the difference between an NBA superstar and a star player.

Kirisaki Daiichi was ranked second in the Youth Sports Newspaper.

Ahead of them is Luo Shan, the high school overlord.

The reason is the same as Kirisaki Daiichi. While they have a member of the Generation of Miracles, they also have three uncrowned Five Generals.

This lineup is truly exceptional.

Chapter 165: Training and Night Talk

"How did you convince them?"

"No need to convince them, they are happy to train with us."

The day after the qualifiers.

Tiandao brought the top bad boys of Kirisaki to a seaside for the final training before the national competition.

The one who had an appointment to train with them was none other than the king Xiu De, who had been eliminated early on and missed the national competition.

Even though he has no chance of making it to the national competition this year, Xiu De is not done with this year.

They will set their sights on the upcoming Winter Cup qualifiers.

In order to cope with the fierce competition in the Tokyo area, they can only work harder and enter the preparation stage as soon as possible.

Tiandao didn't spend much effort to ask Midorima for the phone number of Coach Shutoku, and the other party agreed without thinking.

For Nakatani Jinliang, it is beneficial to be able to train with Kirisaki, the strongest in the Tokyo area.

"Hello again, Midorima."

"Humph."

Midorima hummed softly, without saying anything more.

As one of the only two members of the Miracle Generation who missed the national competition, he actually didn't want to meet his old teammates right now.

Especially when this person is still the way of heaven.

"If you're a little more enthusiastic, won't you just lose?"

"You just lose less now. You'll get used to it after losing a few more times."

As expected, it was definitely a mistake to conduct joint training with this guy.

Midorima's face turned green, and he wanted to throw the lucky charm in his hand at his face.

It is worth mentioning that Cancer’s lucky item today is a mosquito-repellent swatter.

"Let's stop here for now. You'll have plenty of time later." Nakatani Jinliang said, standing in front of the team. "I've heard about your team's style, but this is a training camp after all, so I hope you can be a little gentle."

Although the arrival of Tiandao changed Kirisaki Daiichi.

However, he still couldn't help but remind them that he didn't want his players to get injured because of this training.

"Don't worry, what you worry about won't happen." Tiandao turned around and took his teammates to put the luggage away.

After they changed into their sportswear, their joint training with Xiu De began.

There was nothing special about the joint training, it was similar to the usual training in the basketball team.

The advantage is that in such joint training, your opponent will be your best supervisor, and both of you will become more serious during training.

In addition to this, there are training matches that are held every day.

This is the most important thing in joint training, as both parties can learn from each other.

"Tian Dao, why do you have to be with Xiu De?"

"Or else?"

Tiandao tied his shoelaces, ready to go on stage.

"Among the teams that have been eliminated, Xiu De's overall strength is the strongest."

"Moreover, their tactical qualities are worth learning from."

Is Xiude the strongest team?

of course not.

But they are definitely the team with the highest tactical skills, no doubt about it.

In stark contrast to Touou's pursuit of ultimate personal ability, Shutoku pursues ultimate teamwork.

For Hitoshi Nakatani, every team member is a piece of the puzzle.

Only when all the puzzle pieces are complete can you see the beautiful picture.

Even Midorima, the best shooter of the Generation of Miracles, can only make a reckless move three times in a game.

Therefore, when he invited the Generation of Miracles, he immediately excluded Tiandao and Qingfeng, the two unstable factors.

He was attracted to the extremely self-disciplined Midorima Shintaro at first sight.

That's what it takes to be a super player.

However, after watching the training camp for an afternoon, he found that Tiandao was also a very self-disciplined player.

"I've made a mistake." Nakatani Jinliang shook his head. "This kid's style is too deceptive."

He witnessed with his own eyes how Tiandao completed the training tasks meticulously and how he used the remaining time to practice shooting and so on.

It's not unfair at all that Qingfeng lost to him.

The one who works harder wins in the end, it makes sense!

Night.

After a hard day's work, the team members rested early and had no energy to play.

However, for two talented players, Tiandao and Midorima, although the intensity of such training is high, it is far from the limit.

They got together to play chess.

There are a lot of mosquitoes on summer nights, but luckily Midorima has a mosquito swatter in his hand.

Tiandao grabbed it and electrocuted many mosquitoes to death with a sizzling sound.

When Midorima saw this, his face turned green again, because this was the lucky charm for his zodiac sign.

"Give me back the mosquito coil."

"Don't be so serious all the time. You won't be popular with girls."

Tendō shrugged and handed the mosquito coil back to the now enraged Midorima.

"But what kind of morning fortune telling are you doing? Why are all the lucky charms always so strange?"

Over the years, Midorima still maintains the habit of getting up early every day to read the morning divination, and he changes the lucky charm in his hand every day.

There are all kinds of messy things. Today it's mosquito coils and tomorrow it might be mosquito repellent. It's outrageous.

"It's no use telling you, can you get up at six in the morning?"

Midorima was too familiar with Tendou. Although he was not a king of lateness, when he was at Teiko, he would arrive at the basketball club activity time almost every day.

He is even more stubborn than cattle and horses. He would never work overtime if he could leave early.

"What's the point of getting up early? Won't you still lose?" Tiandao waved his flag and used his elephant to trample the lion in the green room to death.

"I will lose, not because there is something wrong with the divination, but simply because I haven't done enough."

The scene of missing the winning shot reappeared in my mind.

At that moment, he felt that he had betrayed the trust of his teammates.

Kuroko and Kagami both did it. They trusted each other without reservation, so they lost.

This was the conclusion he came to from that defeat.

The team is more important than the individual!

"God's way, a person's ability is ultimately limited."

He wanted to say something profound to Tiandao, but this was the only thing that came to his mind.

Midorima is not a person who likes to reason like Kuroko.

He is a man of action and would rather do than talk.

"The fact that you think this only proves that you are not strong enough."

Basketball is certainly not a one-person sport, but just like playing a game, as long as one of them is strong enough, they can still turn the tide of the battle.

The same goes for basketball. It is not football. As long as you are strong enough, one person can decide the outcome.

What's more, NBA superstars are basically guys who disregard the team and put themselves above the team.

Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, O'Neal, etc. are all egoists!

Team first?

That is the fig leaf that ordinary players use to cover up their mediocrity.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Tiandao, Midorima no longer insisted.

However, he had already decided in his heart that he would compete with his old teammates as Shutoku's Midorima Shintaro.

"In the Winter Cup, Xiude and I won't lose to any of you!"

If possible, he wanted to tell this truth to Tiandao and his friends.

"It's too hard to not lose if you think like that."

Blackening is three times stronger, whitewashing is three times weaker.
