Kuroko’s Basketball: Before Generation Miracles, I Already Crowned Chapter 121: I Can’t Communicate with Someone Whose Mind’s S

Duh!

Teiko's first ga ends.

Against Heishi Middle School, the final score: 144–33, an absurd blowout.

In the fourth quarter, Nijimura Shuzo and the starters rested, letting freshn, including Akashi Seijūrō, who sat once and then stepped back in, play the entire final period. As a result, Heishi scored their highest quarter points there:

1st quarter: 0

2nd quarter: 4

3rd quarter: 12

4th quarter: 17

They ended with 33 points total, mostly because Teiko's frenetic tempo created so many possessions. Otherwise, even reaching 30 would've been a struggle.

When the final buzzer sounded, the crowd stared, stunned, Teiko's dominance was almost surreal.

Even the bench alone could've condemned Heishi, and the starters, led by Nijimura and Nijimura, allowed just 4 points total in the first half.

Completely beyond belief!

Clap Clap clap

Only after both teams shook hands at center court did the audience co back to their senses and erupt into applause for this unparalleled performance.

"This year's Teiko is just overwhelmingly strong…"

"It's basically all freshn and sophomores in the lineup, yet they seem stronger than last year."

"Well, that's mostly because Nijimura and Shuzo have grown even stronger."

"True…"

"But these Teiko freshn are also legit monsters."

"No question, this championship is theirs."

anwhile, Heishi Middle School…

Their players staggered off the court in daze, eyes naturally drawn to the Teiko bench, not to the fad Twin Stars, but to the excited, colorful-haired freshn who dominated the fourth quarter.

Their athleticism, skill, and unique styles all scread future superstars.

One 10th-grader from Heishi, looking at his senior teammates' downcast faces, couldn't hold back.

"Those… monsters…"

"Who can beat them?"

Heishi's captain shook his head. He had the words on his lips but couldn't speak them.

He wanted to say: "No one wins forever."

Yet, looking at Teiko, he wasn't so sure anymore.

After all, that side was basically a summit of talent, so were already beasts, others were still growing.

He drew a breath.

Honestly, once the ga ended, he did breathe a sigh of relief. Reflecting on the performance, there was little to regret, it was simply a case of being outclassed.

"Everyone…"

"Didn't you play with everything you've got?"

"If you showed what you worked for, there's nothing to regret."

Their coach's voice reached him, and he looked up to see his teammates nodding with bittersweet smiles.

It was… a pity. For many, their middle school basketball journey ended here, pulled out in the first round by Teiko.

Three years of effort, just like Nijimura Shuzo said,

Perseverance and hard work…

Just so unfortunate they didn't pay off.

Talent, huh…

He glanced toward Teiko, full of envy.

Actually… playing with talent isn't a bad thing.

The cheers for Nijimura and Shuzo still echoed in the stands as the Teiko players exited. Shuzo remained cool and distant, but Nijimura waved, soaking in the applause, and his smile grew more genuine thinking of the newly awarded "player coins."

Since last year's All-Japan tournant, Nijimura had only earned serious resources from the Ten-School Tournant, where rewards were items like Talent Cards, not player coins. That's why the player list went a whole year without updates.

This All-Japan tournant was perfect timing:

Back-to-back All-Japan champion

Order within the Teiko Twin Stars

Tasks that final here, along with the player-coin reward just for winning, got him excited. Despite the weak opponents, everything else was satisfying.

"Now that I'm a sophomore..."

When the Miracle Generation blood, Aomine did it during his 2nd-year All-Japan; others at the tail end of 2nd-year.

Finish this tournant, get even stronger, and he'd be way ahead, almost on par with the original Miracle Generation tiline.

The Legendary Player reward from the double crown task,

"Ti to take off."

He turned to Shuzo and Coach Shirogane with that confident smile.

But then,

"Damn it!"

"What're you doing?!"

Several reporters and carapersons rushed from the tunnel as Teiko players erged.

One reporter shoved past Haizaki Shōgo and landed on Nijimura Shuzo.

"Shigure-san!"

"Got ti for an interview?"

"How do you feel about the nickna 'The Technician'?"

"What are Teiko's goals this year?"

"Tell us about your team's level…"

Aomine Daiki stared, astonished. He leaned toward Midorima Shintarō and murmured,

"Wow… does Nijimura-senpai really have that much fa?"

Midorima gave him a look.

"Of course. Nijimura and Shuzo are unquestionably the top of middle-school basketball this year.

Maybe the only suspense is which of the two is stronger, rather than the championship."

Aomine looked puzzled.

"Nijimura must be stronger, though? Why compare them?"

Midorima rolled his eyes. Though he thought the sa inside, the way they reached conclusions, well,

"I can't communicate with soone whose mind's stuck on 1v1."

"Huh? No way."

After that intense ga on the field, that influence subtly changed Aomine.

"My passing's as good as Shuzo's!"

"!?"

"You didn't see? I can bait the help defense like Shuzo, then hit the open man."

"Heh"

He sighed.

"Guys stuck in 1v1 mode only see 1v1."

Midorima glared down at Aomine, who turned dark.

But then he said confidently,

"I score more than you, Midorima."

"More than Haizaki and Murasakibara too"

"Let's be precise"

"My scoring ranks just behind Nijimura-senpai and Shuzo!"

Murasakibara: "?"

Haizaki: "!"

Midorima: "…"

Upon hearing that, the other freshn stared. Everyone except Akashi, the point guard, frowned. Akashi didn't want to admit it, but Aomine's offense was…

"Ah?!"

Aomine suddenly gasped.

Reporters had picked up on it too: Teiko's freshn were more than hype, they had depth.

Soon, drenched in sweat, Aomine looked at Akashi, unperturbed amid reporters, and watched as Shuzo glanced curiously toward him.

anwhile, Midorima tensed, frowning under his lucky glasses.

The real frustration?

Murasakibara and Haizaki had stealthily climbed onto the stands, one eating snacks, the other leaning mischievously on the rail.

"Black-skinned idiot"

Aomine: "…"

Those two!

When the heck did they sneak up there?!

And not even with !
