Chapter 46

"You are Tian Dao?"

Haizaki recognized Tian Dao at a glance.

No way, this guy was really handsome in a plain way, and he had a temperament that he particularly hated.

A temperament called "the child of someone else's family."

Haizaki, the bad boy, hated this kind of guy the most; if it were outside school, he would have already swung his fist and hammered him.

No reason needed; he lived for a clear state of mind.

"Laozi is named Haizaki Shogo, I..."

"I know what you want to do; you want to play a game with me, right?" Tian Dao Jing Yan waved his hand to interrupt him and said with disgust, "Of course you want to play a game with me, so you can go back and tell your friends, 'I played basketball with Teiko’s top star, the most potential new star in the modeling world, Tian Dao Jing Yan.'"

"But what about me? What can I tell them? That I defeated Haizaki Shogo? Who the hell knows who you are?"

As soon as this was said, the entire gym went quiet.

Even Coach Coach Baijin Gengo, the coach, was stunned, thinking, how can this little brat have so much sassy talk?

The bullet comment teachers started scrolling crazily.

Because there were too many bullet comments, I won't waste words; the most filtered one was:

"Holy crap!"

The bullet comments were surging; as Tian Dao Jing Yan said these words, all kinds of bullet comments were so dense that people couldn't see clearly.

Haizaki’s appearance allowed the bullet comment teachers to keenly capture the taste of a villain.

Under normal circumstances, the next plot should let Haizaki be arrogant for an episode or two, pave the way, and then give him a head-on blow.

If it were Kuroko, the plot would indeed develop like this.

But Tian Dao wasn't; he came up and started spitting sassy talk, more of a mouthpiece than a mouthpiece—a high-level mouthpiece—directly making the audience feel refreshed.

Now there is already a Kuroko no Basket column on Baidu Tieba; the fans discuss the most, besides the protagonist Kuroko, is Tian Dao.

The reason is actually simple: Tian Dao is the version of themselves they dream of.

And Haizaki, after hearing these words from Tian Dao Jing Yan, his expression visibly turned black.

He is smelly in behavior and bullies classmates often on weekdays.

What about Tian Dao?

His mouth is smelly!

When two such guys get together, it’s hard not to spark some fire.

Currently, it seems Tian Dao is a step better.

The black-faced Haizaki and the Tian Dao wearing a Dragon-Overlord smile formed a sharp contrast.

"You just keep calling out while you can; soon I will tear your mouth and your face apart and throw them into the trash can." Haizaki said with a dark face.

He rarely suffers losses; today he felt he had met an opponent, and his hatred for Tian Dao was even greater.

Like a natural enemy in the animal world, Tian Dao was the natural enemy that had to be killed in his eyes right now.

"The basketball club is not a place for you to solve grudges. Tian Dao, start training immediately."

Seeing the two of them looking like they were about to fight, Nijimura Shuzo had to walk over to interrupt.

If a violent incident occurred in the basketball club, it wouldn't be easy to explain to the school.

"Tch." Haizaki clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

Don't know why, he was a bit afraid of Nijimura Shuzo, especially his eyes—so damn scary.

However.

Just when Haizaki Shogo planned to go back and finish off all the losers in the third string, leveling up all the way to the first string to settle the score with Tian Dao.

Coach Coach Baijin Gengo spoke, "You are named Haizaki, right? The first-string practice game is short of people; you come along too."

"Coach." Nijimura Shuzo turned his head in confusion. Coach Coach Baijin Gengo signaled him not to be impatient, "That child Tian Dao doesn't need us to worry."

Coach Coach Baijin Gengo wasn't afraid of thorns; he only worried that the players didn't have matching abilities.

Does Haizaki have ability?

Of course!

Even Yamanaka Yuta, the sixth man, was beaten to his knees by him; one could see how outstanding his talent was.

As for why he had a grudge with Tian Dao?

Coach Coach Baijin Gengo didn't care about such things; the basketball court is a place to compare whose fist is harder. Once you win, the grudge is resolved.

This is what he meant by talking with basketball!

What’s more, Tian Dao is the most disobedient guy in Teiko now; using him to kill Haizaki’s arrogance is just right.

What if Tian Dao loses?

Then kill Tian Dao’s arrogance; anyway, Teiko doesn't lose either way.

Coach Coach Baijin Gengo had high expectations for Tian Dao Jing Yan.

Just like that, a unique practice game began.

Due to Haizaki’s previous attitude, the Teiko players didn't have a good feeling about Haizaki.

Coach Coach Baijin Gengo could only pair Haizaki with Nijimura Shuzo, who was the most obedient and could suppress Haizaki.

He didn't want to see players deliberately tripping Haizaki.

Tian Dao Jing Yan looked at his teammates and sighed, thinking, "How can I lose this?"

"No matter what happened between you, the court is the court. If you are men, solve the problem in the way of basketball." Coach Coach Baijin Gengo warned the two before the game.

"Understood, Coach. I won't hit him." Tian Dao Jing Yan stretched.

This made Haizaki very angry.

I haven't even spoken yet, and you want to hit me?

But what’s ghostly is, why do those guys like Coach Coach Baijin Gengo look relieved?

"These guys, are they looking down on me?" Haizaki was even more unhappy.

He, the king of fighting, had never lost to anyone!

The bullet comment teachers knew why Coach Coach Baijin Gengo and the others were relieved.

'Does this unlucky child really want to hit King B?'

'You already have a way to die!'

'Silly child, don't go; that guy dared to fight a Sword Saint when he was eleven.'

'Hey, the front is hell!'

Tian Dao Jing Yan looked at the audience who were saying one thing but meaning another, wishing he would have a real-life PK with Haizaki, and turned off the bullet comments.

At the current stage, Haizaki’s strength was not inferior to the Generation of Miracles.

The real gap between him and the Generation of Miracles was after the second year.

If the world of Kuroko no Basket were to be divided into 369 grades, it could probably be distinguished like this.

Nash from the theatrical version is the first grade.

The Generation of Miracles and Seeing Seeing Kagami Taiga are the second grade.

Haizaki Shogo, Nijimura Shuzo, and Himuro Tatsuya are the third grade.

Then there are the Uncrowned Kings, and finally the major powerhouses like Kasamatsu Yukio—these national-level players—and then others.

The first grade and the second grade have the closest talent; after all, the reason Nash could beat the Generation of Miracles was also because of his age advantage.

At the same age, even if Akashi couldn't beat him, it wouldn't be too much of a difference; both of their eyes were also at the same level.

And Haizaki Shogo, although he could only be ranked in the third grade, his strength was also the closest to the Generation of Miracles, stronger than Nijimura Shuzo and Himuro Tatsuya.

He wasted a few years of time, and when he came back, he could still force out Kise’s strongest state; his strength was evident.

Without further ado, the game officially began.

It was still a 20-minute practice game, playing only half-court.

In the jump ball segment, Murasakibara won the victory as expected.

The team’s two commanders both ran to the opposite side, and the teammates wearing blue training uniforms naturally handed the ball to Tian Dao to handle.

Actually, Tian Dao Jing Yan felt he didn't need a point guard at all.

In modern basketball, positions have become completely blurred, and the survival soil for traditional point guards who only have the function of passing has been compressed very small.
