Wasn't he just in the paint?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His expression changed wildly, and he hurriedly passed the ball to a teammate; another person took advantage of the situation to cut into the restricted area and go straight for a layup.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was full of confidence in this shot, but who would have thought that the purple-haired giant baby who should have been near the free-throw line would pounce in front of him again and snatch his layup down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't a block; it was a damn snatch-block!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This height, this tonnage, this athletic ability...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People gasped one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Little Murasakibara’s defensive range is the entire area inside the three-point line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The entire area inside the three-point line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The people from Kirisaki First were all stunned. Isn't this a natural counter to them, Kirisaki First?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, except for the Will of Heaven, they didn't seem to have any extra perimeter offensive means.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, hmm, it seems there is no need to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen doesn't seem to have anyone who can stop their leader’s perimeter game either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beep~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The game ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen shut out the opponent 30:0.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They really managed to keep the opponent from scoring a single point, while scoring 30 points in a single quarter with an 80% shooting percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Araki Masako smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Basketball was originally a famous sport for tall people because the basketball rules at the time were not perfect, and 10 players often crowded into the restricted area to wrestle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So many interior beasts appeared at that time; those who could stand out in the wrestling of ten people were all monster-level interior players.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Until the Magic-Bird era, basketball was actually the world of interior players; if you didn't have an outstanding big man in your lineup, don't even think about winning the championship.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't until Jordan appeared that the trend of \"he who wins the interior wins the world\" ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He alone changed the entire ecological environment of basketball.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, there was only one Jordan. After the Bulls dynasty, the Spurs quickly won the championship with their invincible twin towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then came the Lakers dynasty, which took the O'Brien Cup for three consecutive years with the most dominant center, O'Neal, as the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Araki Masako firmly believes that he who wins the interior wins the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After becoming a head coach, she became obsessed with big men and couldn't extricate herself; the team has always had a twin-tower configuration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this year, Yosen went a step further and directly formed an unprecedented three-tower lineup!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen’s iron wall made people look sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fans thought that the only teams that could break Yosen’s defense now were those with members of the Generation of Miracles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the Kirisaki First team, on whom they pinned their high hopes, didn't make much of a splash in the round of eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this game, the Will of Heaven let all the main players rest on the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He alone led four substitutes to compete against the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By the quarterfinals of the Inter-High Tournament, for a game of this intensity, it is best for players to have more than 48 hours of rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only in this way can the body get sufficient rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no visual impact of Yosen shutting out the opponent, nor was there a widening of the score gap like cutting melons and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the Will of Heaven appeared, one look showed he was slacking off; he only got 5 points by the end of the first half, but he had 15 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kirisaki First led the opponent by 12 points at halftime.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Saving energy to prepare for us? Is this kid really only fifteen years old?\" Araki Masako naturally brought her team to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, she couldn't see anything; Kirisaki First didn't show its hand and advanced to the final four with a 15-point lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking back to her own fighting spirit just now, making her players shut out the opponent, Araki Masako felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How come compared to him, I look more like a child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The whole game ended, and Kirisaki First defeated the opponent without a fight and advanced to the final four.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With this, the final four of the Inter-High Tournament were all decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Too Academy and Rakuzan High School in the upper bracket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kirisaki First and Yosen High School in the lower bracket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>All were civil wars of the Generation of Miracles, completely in line with the fans' expectations before the Inter-High Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The champion of this year’s Inter-High Tournament will be born among the teams that have members of the Generation of Miracles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This result made the fans in the Tokyo area excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had two teams break into the final four; this year, the Tokyo area is undoubtedly the strongest region in the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven didn't care if the Tokyo area was the strongest region; he only cared if the person who won to the end was himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let’s go back; the game the day after tomorrow won't be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Will of Heaven led the bad boys and left the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He already had a preliminary idea of what tactics to use against Yosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The advantages and disadvantages of such a three-tower team are both very obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The advantages were already shown in the last game, and the remaining disadvantage is naturally the issue of overall speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is something that any team that focuses on the interior cannot avoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It can be anticipated that Yosen will definitely grind out a positional game with them the day after tomorrow, play for efficiency, reduce the number of possessions in the game, and decide the winner with defense and shooting percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the pace of the game is too fast, it will be a huge consumption for the three big guys on their team.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If others want to be slow, then you have to play faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Basketball games are like this; it’s nothing more than playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, using your strengths to attack their weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, Kirisaki First Basketball Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the urging of the Will of Heaven, the players were practicing counterattacks and fast breaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their game was already among the fastest in the country, but to play against a heavy-duty team like Yosen, the speed had to be even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone was very serious; no one dared to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This proved that the Will of Heaven’s control over the team had reached the point where his words were law.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Including Hanamiya Makoto, everyone was seriously studying Yosen’s style of play.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The championship was within reach; at this point, even the \"Bad Boy\" was taking it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no other way; even the Uncrowned Kings felt bitter in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teiko’s dominance was too strong, giving players of this era no chance to touch the championship.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Any thoughts?\" The Will of Heaven walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What thoughts could I have? These guys' style of play is no different from last year; they are still so good at dragging people into a positional wrestling match.\" Hanamiya Makoto pursed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yosen just likes to use height to bully people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The teams participating in the Inter-High Tournament generally have centers no taller than 1.95 meters, but Yosen has 3 players at the 2-meter level; this advantage can be described as huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the very least, their Kirisaki First interior absolutely cannot compete; even fronting the defense is useless, as the opponent has 3 big guys in the restricted area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"To put it bluntly, if we let them get the ball into the restricted area, we’re finished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1458,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.005Z","2026-06-17T09:02:19.189Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4bd43b760e33765c78a8629b5e0f9f54e08a3186ac73b19df8d92a95a051f568","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-193","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-191",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
