By the time Aomine reacted, he heard another \"pop,\" and then Tendou completed the side change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That dribbling speed was like lightning; his own change of direction was like a snail in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop pop pop pop...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't see Tendou's movements at all, only seeing the two of them entangled and biting at each other at the top of the three-point arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a \"swish,\" Tendou crashed into the crowd and lightly laid the ball in over Team B's center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're a hundred years too early to win against me, Blackie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't give me nicknames casually.

Unless you're willing to bet with him—the loser has to wash the other's smelly socks for a week—otherwise, Tendou won't play one-on-one with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so...

From last year until now, Tendou's smelly socks were contracted by him every week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you're not allowed to use a washing machine; you must wash them by hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It trained him, a person who couldn't wash clothes, to be more proficient than his own mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he was ambitious, wanting to take revenge personally and make Tendou wash his smelly socks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he suggested Tendou change the punishment method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was losing too much and becoming a coward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tendou wouldn't agree. The unyielding Aomine could only fight more bravely, and the braver he was, the more he lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so a year passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you asking so many questions?

As long as he worked a little harder, there would definitely be a chance to catch up to Tendou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Aomine's practice volume increased visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying this was the improvement of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Aomine's state has been incredible lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I heard he scored 40 points in the first practice match, and even more than 50 points in the second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our basketball club will definitely be able to defend the title this year, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Needless to say, with Senior Tendou and Senior Aomine and the others, our Teiko will definitely be able to win two consecutive championships.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the new national tournament approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the basketball club also began to discuss the excellent state of the main players in the recent matches.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.005Z","2026-06-17T07:46:54.104Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e4018e66cb9c9387ae6f73640e5103e1106e1a017b295c56a020c37660910aae","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-89","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-87",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
