Chapter 41: Even Compared to the Generation of Miracles, You Are Not Inferior!

"6~"

"They really pulled it off!"

Yukimiya Kazuma watched with a pained expression as the Teikō players entered the locker room, and not long after, the Bai Shui High School spectator team returned.

To Yukimiya Kazuma's surprise, the shocked expressions he had imagined did not appear on anyone's faces, though Coach Niimatsu's expression had returned to his usual cold demeanor.

"109:5"

"Too tragic, Tōdōzaki Middle School!"

"That alley-oop actually knocked three people flying at once!"

"Well..."

"After all, Teikō's center is two meters tall!"

"Thinking about it, it seems Senior Yukimiya is even more impressive; he also knocked three people flying with an alley-oop, and in terms of height, Senior Yukimiya is at least 15 centimeters shorter than Midorima Atsushi, right?"

Yukimiya Kazuma: "...?"

Little ones...

How can you compare strength like that?

Being 15 centimeters shorter can in no way be considered an advantage!

"Except for Yukimiya, we are far inferior to Teikō; although they were ridiculously strong last year, they are completely incomparable to this year."

"Indeed."

"The Generation of Miracles, their abilities are simply too overpowered; after watching just now, I don't even know what to say..."

"Monsters gathered together, it's truly terrible, the Generation of Miracles..."

Takefusa Masaki and Liang Huayin both wore quite grave expressions.

But in Yukimiya Kazuma's view, they did not look like the other teams in the manga who were scared out of their wits upon seeing Teikō play.

After everyone gathered, Yukimiya Kazuma took the initiative to ask, "So, the Generation of Miracles?"

"Just a bunch of monsters."

Upon seeing Yukimiya Kazuma, Takefusa Masaki's face relaxed even more, leaving Yukimiya Kazuma completely baffled, "And then? Nothing else?"

"What?"

Takefusa Masaki didn't understand what Yukimiya Kazuma meant, but Liang Huayin, who usually spoke little, saw right through him, "Very impressive; although we were scared, it was definitely not to the extent you imagined."

Huh?

That shouldn't be right?

Half-court three-pointers, one hundred percent accuracy.

Super-high-speed dribbling, formless shooting.

Copycat.

Emperor's Eye.

Seeing these things for the first time, none of them stunned you?

Thinking back to when I first saw these abilities in the manga...

This makes me look very weak.

"Ah!"

"Kazuma, you mean that..."

"Don't worry; no matter how strong they are, for us, your passes that make everyone on the court shoot better and better are still more miraculous."

"Yeah, the dribbling is super impressive too!"

"Mm, Teikō's ace's dribbling is indeed exaggerated, but in terms of final effect, Senior Yukimiya is the same; since Senior's hand injury ended, I haven't seen anyone stop Senior's dribbling!"

"And, your strength has improved like a monster!"

Listening to everyone's words, Yukimiya Kazuma's face turned red all over.

At this moment, Coach Niimatsu also spoke up: "Although we won by a large margin today, the gap in strength between us and Teikō is quite large."

"But do not belittle yourselves; Teikō is getting stronger and stronger, but compared to the past, they have become like a completely different team, with no passing, everyone scoring individually."

"Relying solely on individual one-on-one play, they are enough to trample their opponents, even achieving more overwhelming victories than before; this is certainly a reflection of their individual strength being far ahead."

"But precisely because of this, in the absence of passing from the opponent, with Yukimiya as the core, if we were to face Teikō, even if we couldn't win, we wouldn't be completely unable to fight."

If we really had to find a flaw, Teikō is not invincible.

For example...

No passing.

The coach and tactics are virtually non-existent.

The entire team mechanically completes the match content named 'Victory'.

And there is Kise Ryōta; although for other schools this is an absolute strength point, if it were Yukimiya, he should be able to target this point to play.

"Moreover..."

"The Inter-High Preliminaries consist of nine regions; the 23 teams that won the preliminaries, plus the host school's one team, total 24 schools."

"Because of the existence of the Generation of Miracles, the Tokyo District undoubtedly has three spots."

"If we are lucky, if we don't meet Teikō before the semi-finals, we can compete for the second and third seed spots in the semi-final round-robin to advance to the Nationals."

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

So, to summarize what the little old man said, it's still a strategic retreat.

"Don't worry about others needlessly, and also..." Speaking here, Niimatsu glanced at Yukimiya Kazuma, "Even compared to the Generation of Miracles, you are not inferior; you played especially well today."

As expected...

After watching Teikō's match.
