Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

"What's going on today?"

"Isn't it just a simple elimination match between the top of the second team and the bottom of the first team?"

On the other side, Nijimura Shuzo was explaining the content of today's test to Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Just like I told you that day at the Tri-Service Arena, today's is the last-place elimination match for the First Army. The format of the match is that the last-placed players from the First Army will compete against the first-placed players from your Second Army."

"Just prove it with your strength in this game."

"First, you must win. Second, you must demonstrate skills that the coach, Shigure, and the regulars can all approve of. That's how you'll be promoted to the first team."

"Also, in this test, you are an exception among exceptions. You only have one chance, there will be no next time."

"If you're not prepared..."

"Is it."

"I understand."

"So……"

"I'm looking forward to your performance."

Kuroko Tetsuya took a deep breath, and various images echoed in his mind, including Captain Nijimura, Vice Captain Shigure, his good friend Ogiwara Narihiro, and the awkward Haizaki Shogo.

Own……

Finally we have come this far! 10.

Chapter 191: In this way, the gap between us and our predecessors is getting closer!

"Team One vs. Team Two, the last-place elimination round begins now!"

At the opening jump ball, the second team unexpectedly took the ball.

And then not long after.

From the perspective of the first-year players outside the court, a player from the last-place team on the court looked around in terror, like a headless chicken.

"!"

Ok?

The person I've been staring at...

Blue-haired...

What about people? !

On his own side, the point guard of the second team where Kuroko was located was concentrating on looking for offensive opportunities. Suddenly, Kuroko Tetsuya appeared beside him from somewhere and asked him for the ball. After noticing Kuroko, the point guard of the second team instinctively passed the ball to him.

Then he suddenly realized it only after passing the ball.

This is……? !

Where did you come from?

I was clearly observing the situation on the field, but I didn't notice the arrival of "860" at all!?

Haven't had time to think it through.

Next.

A scene happened that stunned the second-team point guard!

When he quickly passed the ball to Kuroko Tetsuya, the latter's hand just touched the ball and suddenly pushed it quickly!

Kuroko's opponents hadn't 'seen' him yet. They just saw the second-team point guard pass the ball to an empty place. Then, the ball, like a flash of lightning, made a 90-degree turn on the court!

"..."

A sudden turn...

I rely on!

what's the situation?

and many more……

When did that guy show up?!

The sudden turning pass not only stunned the opponent, but also stunned the team members who received the ball under the basket. Although they were both members of the second army, Kuroko's ability had only been revealed when he was in the third army.

"Attack!!" Kuroko Tetsuya warned loudly.

"what?"

"what!"

The second team players in the penalty area reacted and shot the ball into the basket.

"Hey~ the ball went in~?"

"In the end what happened?!"

"The ball suddenly changed direction. No, it was completely knocked away mid-way. It was by that... uh, that Kuroko Tetsuya!"

Outside the field, the army members were stunned. It was the first time they had seen such incredible technology, and there was a hint of satisfaction in Haizaki Shogo's eyes!

snort!

What a fuss!

On the field.

Kuroko Tetsuya showed off his prowess on the field.

His erratic figure that may appear at any time, and his unpredictable passing intentions make it difficult to judge where the second team's passes will come from.

Therefore, it is rare for the second team to suppress the first team, even in the last elimination match.

"Why is he here again?"

"what happened?"

"No way……"

"Are you kidding me?"

Off the court, Midorima Shintaro stared at the court intently, trying to rely on his eyesight to catch Kuroko Tetsuya, who would be lost if he wasn't careful.

but……

The effect is minimal.

Indeed, his passing was amazing.

But everything is based on that extremely weak sense of existence. However, no matter how weak the sense of existence is, it is impossible to reach the point where it will be invisible if the concentration is distracted for a moment.

It really was like he disappeared from the court!

principle……

what exactly is it?

at this time.

Under Qingfeng's excited and shining eyes, Nijimura Shuzo couldn't wait to speak.

"Misdirection."

"A common method used in magic to divert attention."

Hear the words.

Qingfeng found it even more interesting.

Akashi and Midorima's eyes widened quietly.

"For example, your right hand should make an exaggerated gesture to attract everyone's attention, while your left hand is preparing for the next magic trick."

"In fact, this technique isn't just for magic."

"Kuroko Tetsuya's current skills are the same."

"Because the human eye has many habitual characteristics, when two objects move at different speeds, vision will naturally choose the faster one."

"If the person in front of you suddenly turns their head, your gaze will naturally follow theirs."

"There are many features like this..."

"The technique of exploiting this characteristic to control someone's gaze can be called 'Misdirection,'"

"As for Kuroko Tetsuya, his use of 'Misdirection' in basketball is like... before attacking, he would divert the defender's attention to the ball or other players on the court..."

"and……"

"Kuroko's presence has always been very low."

“That’s his unique talent.”

"A few of them combined, and then he would disappear from the field like an illusion."

Regardless of whether they understood it or not, after seeing Akashi, Midorima and even Haizaki nodding, Aomine Daiki also nodded in understanding.

"Eh~"

"That's it~"

"Ok?"

Qingfeng glanced at Murasakibara who was chewing something crunchy, then quietly pokes him in the face and whispers, "What do you know, you bastard?"

"Sight guidance~"

"Qingzai, don't you understand~?"

"..."

"understood."

I understand, but you pretend to understand when you don't. That's disgusting.

At this time.

Akashi suddenly spoke:

"I see."

"So, Senior and Vice Captain Shigure's special recommendation of Kuroko-san is because they discovered his talent in this area and gave him guidance?"

Hear the words.

Nijimura Shuzo nodded.

"Ah."

"The availability of Kuroko's talent was discovered by Shigure."

"Including 'sight guidance'."

"However, all the specific exercises were completed independently by Kuroko Tetsuya."

"And his performance..."

“It completely exceeded my expectations.”

slap~

At this time.

A hand came to rest on his shoulder.

Turn around.

As expected, the only one in the team 1.0 who has such courage is Shigure Akito.

At this moment, he looked like he had seen something interesting, and the expression on his face was the same as Qingfeng's, revealing a kind of excitement and innocent stupidity.

"Don't talk nonsense, Nijimura."

"I just gave him direction."

"I have no idea how to achieve the specific 'misdirection' or how to express it in detail. I'll rely entirely on Nijimura's analytical ability."

"Now it seems……"
