He first opened up the distance to ensure safety before hanging the ball into the paint.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seto Kentaro caught the ball and posted up the Red team's center; the first-year brat hadn't even made the big roster, so he was naturally no match for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He thought Hanamiya Makoto had lowered his head first, because he was the one who took the initiative to pass the ball to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Seto Kentaro was about to score, the Heavenly Dao's figure arrived in the paint at the right time, leaped high, and gave Seto Kentaro a big block.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Murasakibara's super-large-range defense!\" Seto Kentaro complained bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He thought, you can train Hanamiya and Haizaki if you want, but there's no need to be so ruthless to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao landed, jumped up again to grab the basketball, and launched a fast-break counterattack, assisting a teammate to score again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the subsequent game, the Blue team also found it hard to open up the situation, and the point gap was widened by the Red team bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The practice game was only 20 minutes long; 7 minutes had already passed, and they were trailing by 12 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanamiya Makoto could already smell the sour stench of the Heavenly Dao's smelly socks!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"F*** it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He hated it, but eventually threw the ball to Haizaki, who was clearly stunned after catching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't misunderstand;

his hands seemed to be spraying lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was none other than Hayama Kotaro's \"Lightning Dribble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Get lost, you small fries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Haizaki accelerated and shook off the defender beside him cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only then did the Kirisaki Daiichi players remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Haizaki was taught a harsh lesson by Akashi in the national tournament, he was ultimately from Teiko; one person could beat up Rakuzan's three \"Uncrowned Kings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching Haizaki and Hanamiya fight every day, they had almost forgotten about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Haizaki was like entering an empty land; being able to beat up the \"Five Generals,\" how could these Kirisaki Daiichi first-years be his match?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as he was about to score, the Heavenly Dao's figure arrived again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Haizaki immediately made a layup motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone around felt it was incredibly familiar, \"Isn't that the same move the captain used to score just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a layup almost identical to the Heavenly Dao's, Haizaki's copying ability was shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But it was all in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao had already foreseen this scene and reached out to swat it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Idiot, here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as he was about to be blocked, in a critical moment, Haizaki heard Hanamiya Makoto's annoying voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although unhappy, he still threw the ball over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't the perfect guiding pass like the Heavenly Dao's or Akashi's, but it still made Hanamiya Makoto feel incredibly comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He saw the shadow of Kaijo's Kasamatsu Yukio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This guy is really not bad.\" Hanamiya Makoto caught the ball and shot quickly, hitting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Haizaki gave a light hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Begging for flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He believed that it was Hanamiya Makoto who had lowered his head first, because he was the one who had taken the initiative to pass the ball to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was just being the bigger man now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two guys who didn't like each other, after fighting for half a month, actually achieved a \"give and take\" effect on their first cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the subsequent game, as Haizaki and Hanamiya Makoto \"cast aside their previous grudges,\" the Blue team's offense became smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the score never narrowed; the Heavenly Dao always maintained his suppression of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Forced, Hanamiya Makoto and Haizaki even joined forces to double-team the Heavenly Dao at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Very good, very spirited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But still lacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao faced the two with the ball, exhaling a breath;

it seemed that this week of smelly socks and sweat-soaked training uniforms couldn't be avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They naturally couldn't avoid it; the game lost its suspense with 3 minutes remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Red team's score remained in the double digits, and no matter how the Blue team chased, they couldn't catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll leave the clothes and socks for the next week to you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By the way, Haizaki, this is your first time here, go with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to do it now, tomorrow is fine, but remember to hang the clothes outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao pointed to the entrance of the basketball club, where there were special clothes racks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Haizaki heard this, his face turned blacker than the bottom of a pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had originally planned to take the clothes home and use a washing machine; who would be stupid enough to really wash them by hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, the Heavenly Dao, this pit-father, actually wanted them to wash them on the spot—it was truly forcing someone to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go, Haizaki; washing them now at least means we don't have to clean the basketball club, if we wash them tomorrow, we'll have to clean up and sweep later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hara Kazuya and the others weren't doing this for the first time; they lost the game and ran to the locker room, bringing out all the dirty clothes, along with laundry detergent and buckets, their movements so skilled it made Haizaki's heart ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>...Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.774Z","2026-06-17T09:02:19.189Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3bffdac397694552aac725265c36c3a62e1d51606be36274520acc9357fa6d1b","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-234","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-232",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
