Touou would still lead by 1 point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as they didn't give Seirin a 3-point opportunity, they only needed to wait for Seirin to come up and foul for free throws, maintaining a 3-point lead throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if they took a thousand steps back, let Touou defend the 2 points, why send the opponent a 2+1?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Isn't it basic basketball logic that you absolutely cannot foul at such a buzzer-beating moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seto Kentaro's IQ of 160 could only come up with this method for Seirin to make a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the chance of this method succeeding wouldn't exceed 5%, yet it happened right before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tiandao, you guy, are you a prophet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They began to doubt Tiandao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Touou lost normally, they wouldn't feel anything, after all, the opponent wasn't bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But losing the match in such a way, Seto Kentaro felt that Touou's entire team had shit in their brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What kind of mess is this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be honest, seeing this part, Tiandao also felt it was very absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was more like forcibly adding scenes for Kuroko, arranging for Kuroko to have the last assist to buzzer-beat Touou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But regardless, Seirin won, so they won.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go back; the qualifying spots are locked, it's Shutoku and Seirin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The match ended, and Seirin's players were celebrating this hard-won victory crazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tiandao didn't linger and got up to leave the arena first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Winter Cup regional qualifiers ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seirin won a ticket as expected, joining Shutoku and Kirisaki Daiichi to compete in this year's Winter Cup qualifiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The round-robin also featured a laughable scene at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The second battle between Shutoku and Seirin ended in a 105:105 draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no overtime; it was the first time a basketball game ended in a handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although it was true that both teams had already secured their qualifying spots, continuing to play wouldn't change anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But a draw in a basketball game was still very surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the real world, many viewers also started to complain about this arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What's going on? Can someone tell me the rules of this Winter Cup, why is there a draw?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It should be that Seirin and Shutoku both got the qualifying spots, so it doesn't matter if they win or lose, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How is it not different? Didn't the Inter-High also divide into 1, 2, 3 seed teams? The difference is huge!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why do I feel like they are forcibly weakening Seirin? Seeing Seeing Kagami didn't even enter the Zone in this match.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Weakening? Tiandao has said more than once that Seirin's lineup is very strong, why is there still a handshake ending?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, it's because the production team can't control Tiandao; he says whatever he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As an Aomine fan, I'm really unhappy after watching this. Why did Seirin win against Touou but draw with Shutoku? Isn't Aomine stronger than Midorima?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Exactly, what kind of abstract arrangement is that buzzer-beater? They didn't want the 2+1 opportunity, they had to take the risk to fight for the rebound, and then play 2 points to forcibly buzzer-beat; is this really not forcibly adding scenes for Kuroko?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I've discovered it now; as long as the plot deviates from Tiandao and returns to the main line of Seirin, the plot arrangement becomes absurd and dog-blooded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's no wonder the audience is so resistant; these two arrangements are really incomprehensible to many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Viewers who don't understand basketball and only watch the show don't feel anything, but the guys who understand basketball have questioned the intention of such an arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After watching the latest episode, Fan Shi also said with some worry in the live broadcast room, \"If this continues, won't they also plot-kill Tiandao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.774Z","2026-06-17T09:02:19.189Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","228e59badae2c02292bf90a48bf5933b0238e7379e3e4774ce1a319fc6c6f9ef","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-239","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-237",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
