Chapter 209

Hakigane Kozo’s gaze was deep.

Being able to meet so many talents at the end of his retirement, he was very satisfied.

Now, he didn't plan to return to Teiko to coach.

Because he felt he had already cultivated the most outstanding generation.

Junior high, high school, or even university—none of that was the point; the Generation of Miracles would lead an era of JP basketball.

The game ended while Hakigane Kozo was imagining the future.

There were no miracles; Kirisaki Daiichi defeated Yosen High School 109:91, a difference of 18 points, and advanced to this year’s national tournament finals.

Their opponents in the finals would be the hegemon of high school basketball, Rakuzan High School, which held the most wins and the most championship trophies in the national tournament.

"I will watch the finals, and you must win against that old geezer for me."

"Beat them hard, even more ruthlessly than when you beat our Yosen!"

Tiandao, as the team coach, shook hands with Araki Masako.

The first sentence out of the tomboy’s mouth made Tiandao unable to hold it together.

Araki Masako had always had a dream: to lead her team to take down Rakuzan.

Only then could she prove that she was not inferior to men.

After all, in the sport of basketball, although there are professional leagues for both men and women, most fans generally feel that this is a man’s sport, and women’s basketball has never had the same level of attention as men’s.

A woman coaching a man’s sport?

Such a thing is simply messing around.

In fact, throughout basketball history, there haven't been many female basketball coaches.

This year, two appeared in the national tournament, Araki Masako and Aida Riko, which was already a first in history.

Tiandao shook her hand briefly and let go, nodding. "I will."

The final game of the semifinals also determined its winner.

In the end, Kirisaki Daiichi had the last laugh, defeating Yosen High School and meeting Rakuzan in the final.

Looking back at Kirisaki Daiichi’s team history, there had never been such a dazzling record.

In any other year, Kirisaki Daiichi could be called a dark horse.

Of course, no one would think of Kirisaki Daiichi as a dark horse now.

Because they had the strongest high school student in the country, Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan.

The game ended, and Tiandao played 30 minutes, playing the entirety of the first, second, and fourth quarters.

He scored a game-high 64 points, in addition to 13 steals.

There weren't many rebounds; wherever that purple-haired giant baby was, it was hard to rack up rebound numbers.

"Aren't you going to comfort your old teammate? He looks very sad."

Kirisaki Daiichi’s people had already noticed Murasakibara’s abnormality, as he kept his head covered with a white towel.

"What silly things are you saying? Teiko doesn't have such fragile guys."

Tiandao hooked his backpack and scanned the Rakuzan area, finding it already empty.

Only one game left.

"Let’s go back; the final showdown is next."

Tiandao took the lead into the tunnel, and the others saw this and immediately followed behind him.

Compared to when they first met, these bad boys were very different now.

Their self-confidence had been fully cultivated by victory. They had sufficient confidence to challenge the hegemon, Rakuzan.

The current Kirisaki Daiichi was a true iron-blooded army.

"Let’s go back too."

Seirin’s people followed the audience out.

The more they watched the Generation of Miracles’ games, the more they felt they weren't strong enough.

If they wanted to gain something in the Winter Cup, they had to make themselves stronger.

Only then would they have a chance to complete their revenge against Kirisaki Daiichi.

But wanting to do that was very difficult; they all thought of Tiandao simultaneously.

Like a great mountain, Tiandao’s figure loomed over their hearts.

The finals were scheduled for a week later, giving both teams plenty of time to rest.

At night, Tiandao returned home and put his things down; before he could do anything, the doorbell rang.

"Who could it be so late?"

Tiandao opened the door, and then a pink creature pounced on him.

"Tiandao-kun, I’m here!"

Damn it, every time we meet you crash into me; you’ll be ejected from the game sooner or later!

Tiandao was pushed back by the impact, skillfully caught her, and closed the door by the way.

"It’s so late, why did you come over?"

"Of course, to deliver intelligence to you."

Satsuki climbed off Tiandao reluctantly.

She had to; Tiandao’s indescribable thing was already poking her.

She felt a bit of secret joy, but also some embarrassment.

She hurriedly changed the subject and handed all the intelligence regarding Rakuzan to Tiandao.

Tiandao took it and tossed it aside; his understanding of Rakuzan was no less than Satsuki’s.

Because from the beginning, he knew that the biggest obstacle to Kirisaki Daiichi winning the championship was Rakuzan High School.

"Tiandao-kun, you rent such a big house all by yourself?" Satsuki was already used to Tiandao’s indifference toward her intelligence.

Things that seemed incredibly precious to others were worthless here to Tiandao.

She looked around, feeling a bit dazed by the exquisite furnishings.

Although the small island nation claims to be a country, the place is very small, with a land area of only 378,000 square kilometers.

Therefore, land use is particularly tight, especially in the capital, Tokyo, where every inch of land is truly worth an inch of gold.

If you come to Tokyo for tourism and have stayed in their hotels, you know that the space is incredibly narrow.

And Tiandao?

His place was at least 200 square meters—a mansion in the absolute sense.

"It’s not rented; I bought it."

"Bought it?"

Satsuki was shocked. Is being a model that profitable?

She had been invited by a talent scout while shopping before; should she consider it too?

"Of course, it’s not the salary from modeling; that money is barely enough to buy a toilet. I have special channels for making money."

Betting on games.

Since coming to this world in 2009, more than three years had passed without realizing it.

In these three years, Tiandao would go all-in at least once every year; after some back and forth, he had become a multi-millionaire (in USD).

Moreover, this year was a World Cup year, and he remembered very well that the World Cup champion this year was the Matador Legion.

He planned to go all-in a few more times this year, striving to become a billionaire.

He couldn't remember the specific scores, but he could go all-in on who would advance, right?

Then two years later, in 2016, the famous Fox City miracle would happen.

If he remembered correctly, the odds of Leicester City winning the Premier League that year were 1:5000.

That was the most incredible comeback in soccer history, with higher odds than the national team making it into the World Cup!

Satsuki heard this and felt worried; she ran in front of him, hands on her hips, bending over with her pretty face almost touching his, and said sternly, "No gambling!"

How can a guaranteed win be considered gambling?

But seeing Satsuki’s serious face, he nodded to brush it off.

Satsuki then bloomed with a smile again.

Her life experience wasn't rich, but she had seen many cases on TV news of families being destroyed by gambling.
