Chapter 269: The Year with the Most Opportunity

"Boom!"

The audience in the arena was completely boiling, but outside the arena, there was a heavy rain and thunder.

It was as if even God was shocked by this upset.

Midorima separated from the team after the match and ran outside alone to soak in the rain silently.

The first failure in his life actually happened in this way.

He failed to complete that buzzer-beater, as it was disrupted by his former teammate Kuroko.

"I believe Kagami-kun will definitely be able to jump up again..."

Recalling that fatal steal by Kuroko, this sentence still echoed in his mind.

"Believe... huh?"

Midorima is a stubborn player; after failure, he will inevitably look for the source of the problem.

He won't attribute failure to bad luck for a moment.

Just as he firmly believed that Kagami Taiga would complete the final super jump.

Kuroko also believed in his teammate and made his choice at the last moment.

This choice allowed Kuroko to have the last laugh.

"You just finished the match and are covered in sweat; if you soak in the rain like this, you'll catch a cold."

The sudden voice made Midorima open his eyes, turn his head, and sure enough, it was his former teammate.

"Tiandao..."

He was too familiar with his old teammate's voice.

"Catch." Tiandao threw an umbrella to Midorima and said, "First time losing? Why do you look so uncomfortable? Don't tell me you ran outside on purpose to use the rain to hide your tears?"

You're the one who shed tears.

Midorima indignantly took the umbrella and opened it, as if to prove to Tiandao that he wasn't crying.

Then he paused; seeing Tiandao grinning, he knew he had been tricked. That guy was using this way to comfort him, while letting him accept his kindness.

"You guy is still as troublesome and willful as ever."

The cat is so warm, I love it!

Wow, who is this handsome guy who is invincible even in the 2D world?

You don't even know Tiandao? You must be new.

Yeah, I just started watching this show today, it's been quite popular lately.

Then what are you waiting for? Go and catch up on the prequel. If you don't even know the only "King of B" in this work, you're not watching Kuroko's Basketball properly.

The cat is really good, I wish he was my boyfriend.

Wake up, upstairs, he's a "wife-killer." I'm different, I'm a "wife-booster"—both wives divorced me and married rich men!

Brother, you... stay strong!

Screw your "wife-killer."

Tiandao was speechless; these silly netizens speak so viciously.

Although it's a fact that Riko died for him, you can't just say it out loud.

He just came to get some screen time; he recently discovered that many new viewers were pouring in, so he hurried over to harvest a wave.

As a result, he was almost angered by these silly people into jumping out of the screen to give them a "—Release."

"Tiandao, you'd better be careful in the finals; Seirin is very strong."

"Ah, is that so? I thought it was just that you were too weak, so it turns out Seirin is too strong?"

Rage!

Midorima clenched his fists; why is this guy so annoying when he speaks?

I was kindly reminding you!

"Haha, just kidding." Tiandao waved his hand laughingly, then said, "Go back, don't act like you've never lost before."

"Have you ever lost?"

That's lost too many times.

Tiandao still remembers when he was in elementary school, the school principal was a veteran fan who would play on the playground for a while after work every day, and his three-pointers were particularly accurate.

He competed with him in shooting and lost countless times.

The principal was over fifty years old then, right? I wonder how his health is recently, is he still alive?

Of course, this cannot be said.

He said, "A few years ago, I lost to a Sword Saint and was slashed once; it hurt like hell."

Your kind of failure has no comparison to mine!

Midorima was speechless; what was wrong with his brain back then that he thought he was a kindred spirit?

"In any case, don't be too careless."

"Got it, go back and take a shower, you'll catch a cold."

Tiandao didn't linger, gathered with the team, got on the team bus, and left.

The fifth day of the competition.

Today is the last day of the group stage, and the last spot for the round-robin will be decided.

In the previous matches, three group stage leaders had already been decided.

They were Too Academy in Group B, Seirin High School in Group C, and Senzinkan in Group D.

Now, only Group A has yet to decide its leader.

However, fans believe that Kirisaki Daiichi taking this last spot is almost a certainty.

People's purpose in watching the match today is just to see if Tiandao will have a chance to enter the court. ===== CHAPTER 271 =====
