Pre-final discussions

The next day, Atsushi, as usual, disguised himself in his black sports crew, went to the Tokyo gymnasium, entered through the back door, removed his presence, and went to watch the Teiko match with her opponents, where they would meet a good opponent. It can be said that the opponent is almost suitable for the Shoei School team, but without Kiyoshi.

The match started with the ball in Teiko's possession as expected and Akashi received the ball from the center and began to dribble and then pass without looking at Aomine, who took the ball and dribble with his tremendous speed and scored with a good immersion on his defender .

Then in the second possession, the ball was in the opponent's hand until Kuroko cut it from them, where it was the first match he was playing, and his presence was like a ghost for the opposing team, as it appears and disappears quickly and continues to steal the ball and pass to aomine and Midorima, who performed well today, as he continued to score from the three-point line Perfect speed and accuracy as his balls were good and Akashi's passes were perfect with the emperor's eye that he used only to expand his vision on the field

The match continued with the Teiko team pressing its opponent, widening the gap between them and exhausting their players. In the end, the match ended with the Taiko School team winning 80-30, where they won almost three times the result.

After the match, Atsushi called his teammates to meet at a café to discuss the final match.

An hour later, the five gathered in a famous cafe in the middle of Tokyo that was owned by the Atsushi family, and after entering a designated room and ordering drinks, they started talking.

Atsushi: Well guys, I came from watching the semi-final match of Taiko, which was a normal match. Team Teiko pressed the opponent to death. Aomine scored about 35 points in the match alone. Midorima scored about 30 points, and the fifteen points between Center and Akashi.

Mibuchi: Well, this is expected. If the team is average in most cases, this is an expected result, but to win three times the result, the opponent must lose his will to play until ?

Ishida: This must have happened where it is impossible to score three times the score if the opposing team is playing even if they are weak defensively.

Atsushi: No, the opposing team was playing for the last moment and they did not give in to the loss and their sportsmanship was normal as they are an average team and they know that they will not pass the Teiko team, so they played with everything they had and were not affected by the loss

takida: So how do they score so many points if the opposing team doesn't give up?

Everyone looked at Atsushi too, wanting to know what happened

Atsushi: Well let's watch this video and tell me what you found .

Then Atsushi quickly took out his camera and played the recorded match video and showed it to them .

Some time after the recorded match ended, Mibuchi was the first to speak

Mibuchi: It was their weak presence player, wasn't it?

Atsushi: It's true that they brought their weak player Kuroko Tetsuya for the first time in this match and his appearance caused a big commotion today in the hall where the ball was changing direction in the middle of the road and passes were stolen from the opponent team and they couldn't do much because of him so they lost with this big result

Leo: So that's the reason, but that's not all, is it?

Hearing Leo's question, everyone looked at Atsushi again

Atsushi: Well, this is for Team Teiko, and now for the discussion of Shoei Team, what do you think about how we handle this match?

After some thought, Ishida quickly answered first

Ishida: What if we play as usual in the first quarter as we planned and see what they can do if they can't do much we will continue like this but if we find things difficult we will change the plan .

Everyone quickly agreed, and then takida spoke

takida: That's good, but then if we find things difficult, what do we do?

Atsushi: If we find things difficult, I will move and join the attack, but then I will play the point guard position so as not to reveal too much, and Leo will play as center for me, and Ishida-san will play as a junior striker instead of Leo, and the focus will be on passing to Mibuchi to make him score the most points from the outside .

Then after he finished, he looked at Mibuchi, then remembered something, and spoke again .

Atsushi: Right, Mibuchi-san Anytime you find yourself in a good position to jump to shoot, jump and take a shooting position and I will send the ball to your hands in the air, as you will prevent the defense in front of you from catching up and also you will not have to show many of your winning cards .

Everyone's eyes quickly widened at this statement, but then they showed a sarcastic smile on Shoei's team.

If Atsushi were to play even at a quarter of his strength, they would be completely destroyed and it's good for them not to play more than a point guard.

After that, they quickly discussed some small tactics that they will implement in the first quarter to measure shoei's strength for them, as they will play the first quarter of the match with the same starting lineup.

After a while, they got out of the café and everyone returned to their home, where they will meet at school tomorrow to confirm tactics and plans with the coach.

Soon the day passed and the next day they all went to school and met the coach at lunch and discussed what to do in the game, the necessary plans, and the final adjustments.

Meanwhile at shoei School in the basketball club room the coach was discussing the game plan with his team for tomorrow's match and soon spoke

The coach: Tomorrow's match is one of the most difficult matches that you will face, as the opposing team is the champion of the national championship last year, and this year it has excellent players like the players of the Teiko team, who are excellent opponents and deserve to hold the championship title for the last year

After the coach finished, Taichi Nakamura quickly spoke to Kiyoshi

Taichi: Who do you think is the most dangerous player in Tōkiwadai?

Kiyoshi: Their center is their most dangerous player

Taichi: Why isn't their shooter Mibuchi, their little attacker Liu, or the Force Forward takida?

Kiyoshi: Because their center has not moved from its position since the beginning of the qualifiers, and no one was able to score a single point, and his speed is fast, as I watched him steal passes from the players in the last match, who tried to play the match at a fast pace, but that did not affect him in any way.

Taichi: But isn't it possible that only his defense is good and he has no other skills to play?

Kiyoshi: Do you think that a player who has no skills other than defense will be appointed captain of a team like Tokiwadai and on top of that he is a first year player and a player like Ishida who is in the third year they obey him without hesitation?

Taichi: So what are we going to do with him now as it is impossible to score if he doesn't get out of his place and I don't know if he will move like he was in this match or just defend as usual .

Kiyoshi: Don't worry, we'll try to force him to move from his position. If the match is hot, he'll play seriously. We have to put pressure on their players until they have to make him join them.

Taichi: I hope so that the match does not end with us losing in the end like the previous teams without scoring a single point.

Soon the conversation between them ended .
