Chapter 209: Defending the Title

A few days later, the final showdown of the National Tournament began.

This year's National Tournament finals could be called the one with the least suspense.

Last year's Teikou was already hailed by people as one of the strongest teams in the history of the National Tournament.

A year has passed, and they have climbed even higher, possessing even more dominance than they did last year.

Just as Aomine himself said, the only ones who can defeat them now are themselves.

There were no familiar faces in the lineup of Teikou's opponents today.

This was the biggest dark horse of this year's National Tournament, having fought their way from the Osaka region all the way to the finals.

If this were two or three years ago, people would definitely have held expectations for this team.

Not this year.

People had already grown accustomed to Teikou's victories; the boast Tiandao made during his interview back then had come true.

Inside the locker room, the Teikou players, having finished putting on their gear, were waiting for their new captain to give orders. Since that day, the atmosphere in the basketball club had undergone some changes.

Where was the change?

They couldn't quite put it into words; Tiandao was still the same as always, as sharp-tongued as ever.

But everyone just felt he had changed; they believed this was the impact caused by Tian Lizi's passing.

But this was Tiandao's true self; before, he had been acting the part of Gojo Satoru.

The world of adults is not that sentimental.

"Teikou!"

"Victory!"

Without any extra words, Tiandao bumped his fist against his teammates', and after shouting the slogan, he was the first to step out of the locker room door.

"Teikou!"

"Teikou!"

"Teikou!"

At the venue, the majority was occupied by Teikou fans.

Their arrogant posture helped them attract a large number of fans.

The *Teenage Sports News* had published a report before the final battle and conducted a public survey.

The result was that fans generally believed the strongest players for positions 1 through 5 in all of the nation's junior high schools were actually all in Teikou's lineup.

It must be said, this is a miracle!

This is something that has never happened in the history of the National Tournament.

The best five positions, while also possessing a super rotation—who wouldn't tremble three times over upon meeting this lineup?

The *Teenage Sports News* believed that last year, this year, and even next year would all belong to Teikou.

This is their era.

Generation of Miracles, so that's what it means.

Only realizing it now? Most bloggers analyzed it ten episodes ago.

They were already invincible as first-years last year; this year and next year are even more impossible to play against.

It truly is the Generation of Miracles; even if you brought Jordan and his peers over, they wouldn't be enough for these little brats to play against.

The audience joked and complained.

From the moment Haizaki appeared, this show started to feel wrong.

Not hardcore, and compared to *Slam Dunk*, it lacks a lot of realism. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
