FIRST GENERATION OF MIRACLES MATCHUP
MATCH OVERVIEW
Seirin's first game with Kuroko and Kagami together — and the first time they face a Generation of Miracles player. Kaijō start on half a court. Coach Takeuchi keeps Kise on the bench until Kagami rips the rim down and Kuroko asks for the full floor. Misdirection lasts about forty minutes. Kise still almost steals it. With seconds left Kagami blocks Kasamatsu, the pair run, and Kuroko lobs for the alley-oop over Kise. 100–98.

KEY TURNING POINTS
HALF A COURT
Takeuchi keeps the rest of Kaijō practicing on the other half. Kise is parked. Kagami dunks the rim off. Kuroko asks for the whole floor.
FORTY MINUTES
Time-out. Kuroko finally says it: Misdirection fades as opponents get used to him, and his body cannot hold it for a full game. Riko is not pleased he left that out.
KISE IN
Copy versus shadow. An eight-point Kaijō gap. Kise catches Kuroko in the head. The original Seirin starters have to keep the gym alive without him.
ALLEY-OOP
Kuroko comes back. They tie it. Kasamatsu's last look is blocked. Fast break. Kise is waiting under the rim. The lob still goes. 100–98.
