Popular characters in Kuroko

"It was foreseeable that Seirin would win. After all, Tiandao had already said that Seirin had great potential and was definitely not some weakling."

"In fact, it is. A Miracle Generation-level Kagami, a top support player like Kuroko, plus a fifth-rank general, Kiyoshi Teppei. His perimeter skills are a little lacking, but he's still a national-level player. This lineup is definitely a championship-level configuration."

"So I'm not surprised at all that Seirin beat Toou. But this result is debatable! Did the director team really want to give Kuroko more drama and force him to perform the killer move?"

Fan Shi kept complaining in the live broadcast room.

"Is it because the popularity of Tiandao and the Generation of Miracles is too overwhelming that of Kuroko? So they left the final highlight moment to Kuroko?"

It's not his conspiracy theory stuff.

In fact, many comic book authors have this problem.

They are biased towards the characters they create.

Once the unexpected character's popularity exceeds that of the protagonist, they will do some outrageous things, or even directly kill the character offline.

Fan Shi now smells the scent of a tricky operation.

In fact, if Kirisaki loses to Seirin in the Winter Cup, Fanshi can accept it.

After all, Kirisaki Daiichi already won a national championship, so it’s not a complete loss for Tiandao even if he loses.

It’s awesome to be able to snatch a championship from the protagonist!

But he couldn't accept winning every game in this way.

After all, Kirisaki Daiichi's lineup was strengthened again after he won the championship. Seirin's configuration was strengthened when he fought against Touou, but it regressed when he fought against Shutoku. This was completely for the purpose of killing Kirisaki Daiichi for the sake of the plot.

"Plot killing?"

Tiandao looked at Fan Shi's complaints and chuckled.

Seirin's trump card is the second gate of the Zone, and Tendou knows this very well.

He had already found a way to crack it.

If you want the plot to kill you, don’t even think about it.

However, this production team is quite capable. The popularity of Tian Dao has been increasing at a slow rate.

As a result of what they did, Tiandao found that the speed at which his popularity increased had accelerated again.

Many viewers who understand football feel that it is unfair and hate the director team for forcibly arranging Qingfeng to be offline in this way.

They really want to see Tendou brutally slaughtering Seirin.

"I will make your wishes come true. Who asked me to pamper my fans?"

Tiandao turned off the video and answered the call from May.

The little girl was a little unhappy about losing the game, and her voice was coquettish.

"Xiao~tian~"

"Okay, I watched the game, I know what happened, what was your coach thinking at the end, why didn't he call a timeout?"

Instead of listening to her complaints, Tiandao chose to raise the issue proactively.

"The coach...the reason the coach didn't call a timeout is because he wanted the players to handle it themselves..."

Knew it.

Hara Zeked walked to the technical statistics table at the last moment, but the referee did not stop the game.

Although he had thought of this possibility, Tiandao still felt that Yuan Zeked was very amateur.

Including Reiko Aida, neither team called a single timeout in the final decisive stage.

The outcome of the game is entirely determined by the 10 players of the two teams and has little to do with the coaches.

A basketball coach is not as important as a football coach, but that is only compared to football.

Many times, there are things that the players on the court don’t notice, but only the coaches off the court can see.

At this time, players need coaches to tell them how to adjust.

So today, the head coaches of both teams made Tiandao feel very unprofessional.

But it has nothing to do with him. If we talk about complaints, Fan Shi and the audience have already complained too much, so they don’t need him to complain too much.

"Xiaotian~ I'm really unhappy right now, and when I'm unhappy I want to go shopping and buy some clothes."

Come on, it turns out he is waiting for me here.

Tiandao thought about it and realized that there was still some time before the opening of the Winter Cup. May probably contacted him because of this thought.

"Got it. I'll go shopping with you tomorrow."

"Really?!"

May on the other end of the phone immediately became full of energy. How could she be depressed at all?

The little girl is starting to play tricks too!

"real."

"Hey, then I'm going home to sleep. Come over early tomorrow."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and picked out clothes to wear tomorrow.

The Winter Cup regional qualifiers are over.

There are three teams representing the Tokyo area.

Kirisaki Daiichi, who qualified directly as the national championship champion, as well as Shutoku and Seirin.

In the Kanagawa region, Kaijo looked down on everyone else and advanced easily without encountering any opponents.

The tickets for the Kyoto area were still taken away by "Jiuwang" Luoshan, while the tickets for Akita Prefecture were obtained by Yangquan.

Once again, the teams belonging to the Generation of Miracles all got the only qualifying ticket in their respective regions.

Only in the Tokyo region, where the competition is the most intense, there is really no choice but to eliminate one team.

This time, it was not Shutoku who was eliminated, but Toou. After reaching the semi-finals of the round-robin tournament for two consecutive years, Seirin finally made it to the final knockout round.

It is said that next year's national competition will be held in Kanagawa, and the competition for tickets will be even more intense.

There is a draw ceremony before the Winter Cup begins.

As the team captain, Tiandao made a trip on behalf of Kirisaki Daiichi.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said to Huizaki, "Let's go together, Huizaki."

Akagi called a few days ago and said he hoped to talk to Haizaki.

His two personalities came back together, probably wanting to apologize for what he had done.

Tendou agreed and invited Huizaki to go with him.

"Huh? Why do you want me to go with you? Are you afraid of being beaten?"

Despite saying so, Haizaki still agreed to go with Tendou.

Afternoon, three o'clock.

A multimedia conference room in the Winter Cup stadium.

Tendou walked in with Huizaki.

They arrived relatively late, and by now the conference room was already filled with captains of participating teams from all over the country, some of whom were coaches.

There is no hard and fast requirement, just send someone who can speak 5.5.

Tiandao also saw Reiko Aida here. She came here alone.

"This way, Tendou, Haizaki." Akashi had arrived earlier, bringing his three uncrowned boys with him.

"You brought three people with you. You're still so grand, Akashi."

Before Tendou could speak, Haizaki looked at Akashi with hostility and made sarcastic remarks.

In response, Akashi just smiled and said, "We've rented a hotel nearby. We'll be in Tokyo until the Winter Cup is over."

As expected of you, every word you say tastes of money.

"It seems that you are well prepared."

"I don't want the legend of Luoshan to end in my hands."

Akashi looked straight at Tiandao, as if he was determined to avenge his previous defeat in the Winter Cup.

"Let's see the draw first." Tiandao smiled and said nothing.

Chapter 237: Devil's Schedule

Everyone is present and the drawing ceremony is about to begin.

The people who draw the lots are not the team representatives, they are just witnesses.

The knockout stage of the Winter Cup is also divided into two halves.

As the champion and runner-up of the national competition, Kirisaki Daiichi and Luoshan were directly assigned to different halves without having to worry about the draw.

On a tactical board, the nameplates of Kirisaki Daiichi and Luoshan were placed at the first positions in the upper and lower half zones.

Then, in front of all the participating teams, the person in charge reached into a sealed box and fumbled around for a while before taking out a team's nameplate.

The purpose of the Winter Cup is to select talents, and there are no particularly high requirements for performance.

Even if your team's performance is at the bottom and you are eliminated in the first round, as long as the players perform well enough, they will still be selected and trained as reserve talents.

It’s like the U17 team in Prince of Tennis. As long as you have a little talent, you will be put in to train, and then the fittest will survive.

Therefore, in this draw, except for Kirisaki Daiichi and Luoshan who were arranged in different halves in advance, all teams were decided by drawing lots.

This resulted in three teams from the same region appearing in one half zone.

In everyone's surprised eyes.

Shutoku and Seirin were both drawn into the same half of the group as Kirisaki's first place.

"this......."

Reiko Aida was so confused, what kind of incredible luck was this?

We finally managed to break out of the Tokyo area, but ended up being grouped together again in the knockout round?

This is the rhythm of another regional selection competition!

And looking at the schedule, she knew that if Seirin kept winning, he would meet Kirisaki Daiichi after the second round!

Because of the unequal number of teams, after the first round, only 25 teams remained.

From this point on, there will be byes in the Winter Cup.

The teams that receive byes will automatically advance to the round of 16. (This is how it was written, not how I arranged it)

Regardless of whether Seirin will be the lucky one to get a bye, Seirin will have to face Kirisaki Daiichi or Shutoku in the quarterfinals.

Why do you say that?

Because Shutoku drew Kirisaki Daiichi in the first game, they will compete with Kirisaki Daiichi in the first round.

Of course, the premise is that Rin can go that far.

Before entering the quarterfinals, assuming Seirin passes the first round, they will face Yangquan in the second round.

When the matchup list came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

No one expected that the start of the Winter Cup would be so exciting.

Kirisaki first fights Shutoku, and Yozen fights Seirin.

"It seems that your luck is not good." Akashi shook his head after seeing the matchup.

"You should say this to Midorima." Tiandao was as confident as ever. He would not lose to anyone.

In the Winter Cup, Kirisaki Daiichi is determined to win.

The drawing ceremony ended quickly.

Representatives from all over the country walked out of the conference room with different expressions.

Reiko Aida walked through the crowd with a heavy heart.
