Chapter 510: Shutoku Battle

The Winter Cup knockout schedule was out, and the reactions of each basketball club were different.

But there was one point that was the same for all participating teams.

They regarded Kirisaki Daiichi as their final goal.

Midorima stayed to practice rebounds that night after learning that they would face Kirisaki Daiichi in the first round.

The people from Seirin also picked up basketballs and started practicing hard without exception.

This was the pressure Kirisaki Daiichi gave people now, and it was also the oppression Tiandao gave people.

Facing him, doing your best wasn't enough; you had to break your own limits and do better than 100% to have a chance to defeat him.

And Kirisaki Daiichi.

They were preparing for the match normally.

"An alley-oop three-pointer combination, huh."

Tiandao knew Seirin's trump card, and Tiandao also knew Shutoku's trump card.

"No problem at all."

A few days later, the Winter Cup knockout stage kicked off.

The high school basketball scene, which had been calm for a summer vacation, was surging again.

Fans from all over the country filled the arena again, and 20,000 fans came to the scene.

"They're here, the final winner of the National Tournament, Kirisaki Daiichi!"

As usual, there would still be a team parade before the match.

As the National Tournament champion, Kirisaki Daiichi was arranged to appear last.

The few of them were simply like a male model group, and their appearance triggered all kinds of screams.

Not to mention Tiandao, a handsome guy even more handsome than Kise, with the strongest high school student and star halo, he was the dream lover of countless young girls.

As for Haizaki, he wasn't as handsome as Tiandao, but this guy had a kind of ruffian air that attracted a certain group of people.

Hanamiya Makoto, Yamazaki Hiroshi, Hara Kazuya, and others were also full of personality and very distinct.

The group came out of the tunnel, not looking like they were here to play ball, but more like they were walking a runway.

Because besides their looks, the average height of Kirisaki Daiichi was also over 5cm taller.

Pat Riley once predicted that the future NBA would be an era of five forwards around 2 meters tall.

Facts proved he was right.

Although not entirely right, the subsequent NBA was indeed very unfriendly to centers; the pace of the game was too fast.

Heavy centers couldn't keep up with the frequent counterattack rates at all.

By 2025, when fans talked about forwards, they could name a bunch, but when talking about centers, there was only one Jokic.

Embiid?

Sorry, this guy is a back-forward.

And this lineup of Kirisaki Daiichi, possessing enough height while also having the fastest rate in the country, was definitely the most perfect lineup configuration in the mind of the "God Calculator."

Because it was a high school student's match, the average height of forwards in the country was around 185cm.

"So amazing; even from so far away, I can feel their aura..."

"That's for sure; they are the team that took Rakuzan down!"

The audience paid their respects to Kirisaki Daiichi one after another.
