Seirin Vs. Shutoku

Shutoku and Seirin arrive on the court. Midorima walks up to Kagami. "So Seirin really lost Tetsuya huh?" Midorima said with dissapointment, "Can I even consider you a rival without Tetsuya as your shadow?" Kagami clenched his fists.

"I hate it!"Kagami beamed, "I hate the way everybody thinks this team is absolutely nothing without Kuroko. I'll prove to all of you this team is stronger than you think." The whole court went quiet. Midorima grinned. "Show it to me on the court." He answered, "Prove to me this team is strong without Tetsuya." The game began.

They threw the ball up in the air and Seirin got possession. Kagami sprinted to Shutoku's basket and shouted, "Pass!" The player chunked the ball as far as it could go from half court but Shutoku intercepted. "What was that horrible play?" Takao aked.

"Hmm. If Kuroko was here, Kagami's normal instinct would be to make it all the way to our zone and rely on Tetsuya's cross-court pass that no-one can intercept." Midorima explained, "I guess he hasn't gotten used to a team without Tetsuya." He thought to himself.

"Dammit! No matter how I look at it passes won't work without Kuroko on the team," Kagami thought, "I might have to go solo and use my new technique sooner than I thought. Damn Kuroko, leaving such a big hole in our attack!" The game went on, Kagami informed all the Seirin players to get the ball to him whether he's open or not. They did as they were told, Kagami barely kept the game even by himself. The score was 25-22 to Shutoku when the first quarter ended. "What the heck is going on with you?!" Hyuga (Serin player) asked Kagami. Kagami grinned, "What do you mean. Last thing I checked I was the only one carrying this team." Kagami answered. "You cocky jun..." Hyuga said interupted.

"Hyuga stop." Riko said, "Whether you like it or not it was always Kagami and Kuroko who saved the day. We wouldn't be able to keep up with Kagami on the court even if we tried." Hyuga looked down in utter dissapointment. "So you have accepted it huh? All of you just keep passing the ball to me and all you have to do is stay on the court." Kagami said with a devious grin. The whole team felt obsolete. The second begins and as their told they pass the ball to Kagami without thought. He rushes to Shutoku's basket and Midorima tails him. He suddenly stops at the 3 point line. "He's up to something," Midorima thought. He shot the ball and it entered the basket. Everyone was shocked. For the first time they had seen Kagami land a three pointer.
