beside his smiling cheek was a demon-like monster, as obedient as if it had been tamed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This image was definitely wallpaper-level!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, being handsome is a lifelong affair.\" Tendō secretly opened the barrage, saw the audience's reaction, and quickly closed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no help for it; these silly netizens were the only tools that could provide him with popularity points, and their reactions were very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just like writing a book, if book friends have opinions or complain, those loser writers definitely have to listen; otherwise, they can only eat instant noodles every day, the kind that doesn't deserve a sausage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seihō immediately requested a timeout.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they couldn't find a way to limit him in time, they would likely face the crisis of a collapse in the second quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You have to know that the round-robin schedule is very dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the original work, Seirin even played two games in one day, finishing one in the morning and having to continue playing in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then they were eliminated.......\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This kind of scheduling simply doesn't treat players like humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the organizers said we have no choice; the cost of renting the stadium is not low, and since tickets for the national tournament are free, of course, we have to finish the battle quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, the participating coaches can only rack their brains to arrange their troops within the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But then again, with Seirin's depth, dealing with such a dense schedule and often playing until the last moment without encountering physical fitness problems is also amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seihō's head coach was considering that if they collapsed in the second quarter, for the sake of the big picture, this game would likely have to be abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is really not worth the loss to use up the players' precious physical strength for a game with a very low chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They still have two more games to play!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then I'll answer the book friend's question: ignoring defense in basketball does not include ignoring interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Curry's one-motion shot is the best example; he has practiced this move to the point where defenders can't disrupt it, not only is his shooting speed fast every time, but he can also ensure he is in rhythm, which is where he is great; while being accurate, you also can't stop him from shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But interference can be done; if even interference is ignored, then every ball is a wide-open shot, that's not how it's played.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Midorima is accurate, but his shooting is too easy to be targeted; Seeing Seeing Kagami and Akashi can disrupt his shooting head-on, either by blocking or stealing, without even a chance to gamble on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aomine and Murasakibara, who didn't face him in the original work, definitely have ways to disrupt Midorima's shooting, and Kise, who developed a perfect imitation in the later stages, can definitely do it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The point difference between the two sides reached 8 points, a very subtle number.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they lose one more ball, their deficit will become double digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The difference between single digits and double digits is mainly reflected in mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The side holding a double-digit lead will have the pressure on them reduced, while the opponent will become prone to impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially in important games, young players are prone to losing control.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seihō was already prepared for a last-ditch effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Listen up, Kasuga, Tsugawa, I'm only giving you these last four-plus minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Coach......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't refuse, what we must ensure first is securing the qualification spot for the national tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seihō's head coach had a clear head and couldn't let the players be willful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He would absolutely not use up all the players' physical strength for a game with a slim chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the score wasn't trailing by much, or if it was a game with room for error.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He could, of course, roar at the players, \"We are kings, kings cannot be desecrated,\" and other such pretty words to stimulate the players' fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But aren't they not at the moment of life and death yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they fought Teikō to the end and ended up losing the national tournament qualification spot, that would truly be a disservice to the title of king that Seihō had built.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because history only remembers the winners.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If they couldn't break into the national tournament this year, this dark history would definitely be remembered by people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the not-so-long history of Seihō's basketball club, there were only a very few years they didn't break into the final round of the national tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he didn't think his team had the ability to win the championship now, at least when facing Teikō, he seemed to lack confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But dying in the national tournament and dying in the regional preliminaries were two different ways to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dying in the national tournament, one could still say the opponent was too strong and they did their best.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if they died in the preliminaries, that was a problem with his personal ability as a head coach.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Giving up now, fans and players might be dissatisfied, wondering why they were being so cowardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But once they lost the qualification spot because of fighting Teikō to the death, these people would complain about whether he was stupid, fighting for his life in a game he couldn't win; now look, the national tournament qualification spot is gone...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In short, as an experienced head coach, he would not allow such a thing to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: I have to get up early in the morning to go out, I'm not sure when I'll be back, so I'll update one chapter first.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.005Z","2026-06-17T09:02:19.189Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e4bc311881ae6c17947d55240ea325704e6b9a15594cbf4a5abe1d1c0aaeb14f","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-58","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-56",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
