He even scored a quadruple-double at the end of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at this stat sheet, people were directly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, is Tian Dao really not holding the protagonist script?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A first-year middle schooler scoring such a huge quadruple-double in a high-stakes game—will Teiko have any opponents left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like Kuroko’s opponent isn't someone else, but his teammates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bottle keenly captured a trace of something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The production team set Tian Dao and these people to be too powerful, powerful to the point that he couldn't think of a reason for Teiko to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Combined with the anime title \"Generation of Miracles,\" it is highly likely that this anime won't be like SD, letting the audience follow the protagonist’s perspective through a difficult national tournament, starting a hot-blooded journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Bottle is overthinking it; I can't imagine a scene where Tian Dao and the others are villains.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'I guess the powerful characters haven't appeared yet; after all, it's only the group stage.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Yeah, in SD group stage, Shohoku only played Shoyo, other games were massacres; the BOSSes are all in the round-robin.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Don't be so stereotypical; twin tails don't necessarily mean tsundere, right?

Apart from that, all you could do was try your best to interfere with his shot and lower his percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In that case, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose Curry’s,\" Tian Dao Jing Yan said somewhat naively.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The short-tailed cat heard this and immediately despised him, \"Wake up, you don't have a choice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tian Dao Jing Yan, \"........\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You damn right, but why am I so angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Haizaki Shogo—he didn't need an introduction; he was one of the few villain characters in Kuroko no Basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was also a student at Teiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today, Haizaki Shogo felt bored as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After spending the first class sleeping, he walked straight out of the classroom, thinking about where to find a girl to play with to pass the boring school time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After walking for a while, he saw a female student with excellent looks in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Whoa, this figure, at least an 85.\" He habitually raised his thumb, licked it with his tongue, and walked toward the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other party was also a first-year student, because this was the first-year area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although only 12 or 13 years old, this girl’s development was indeed excellent; her face wasn't the pointed kind, but had some baby fat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not ugly; instead, it made her look even cuter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Below the head, she had a large chest that could support her clothes, a flat abdomen, and the skirt behind was propped up by her butt, drawing a standard \"S\" shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Haizaki said that he had been playing the field for so long, and it was hard to encounter this kind of look in a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as he was about to start a conversation, he heard the other party chatting with her classmate about another man.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tian Dao-kun is really handsome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, he plays basketball so well too.
