「Generation of Miracles」

~ By FictionOnlyReader.

The Teiko Middle School Basketball Club. An incredibly strong team with over one hundred members and last year championship winners.

Teiko Middle School has a glorious history, filled with numerous National appearances, and is one of the schools with a high number of championship members.

But now a group of five prodigies has joined the ranks of the school and could easily be said to the strongest team Teiko has ever had.

We can safely say that the Teiko Middle School basketball team is the best in the middle school scene right now.

Five players with overwhelming talent and skills, who work together like a well-oiled machine to bring out a team play never seen before.

*

The team is lead by the second-year captain Akashi Seijuro, the skillful point guard, who guides the team with strategic playmaking and mid-range shots and inside plays.

Akashi Seijuro is one of the best supportive point guards in the middle school division. You can clearly see it from his playmaking that he knows what is going on in the court, he utilizes his teammates with calculations and skills, that sends chills through his opponent.

*

Supporting the team from outside, second-year, vice-captain Midorima Shintaro with his perfect accuracy can score the moment he gets the ball in his hands.

The words perfect accuracy and outside scoring are enough to define Midorima Shintaro's threat on the court. By shooting from the outside, Midorima put points on the boards when asked for without fail. He is the most reliable player on the court during clutch time and end of the games.

*

Defending the basket from any incoming attack is second-year, Murasakibara Atsushi. With his height of 195 centimeters, and his ridiculous wingspan can block and rebound balls like a beast on the court.

Murasakibara Atsushi can not only defend the basket, but he can also score with total dominance on the offense. He is every opposition's nightmare when it comes to post-plays.

He is the enemy of the hoops, as rims tremble in his presence of him, as he abuses the baskets with his powerful dunks, at the same time, he takes care of the nets from even touching the ball with his defense.

*

The rookie of the team, second-year, Kise Ryota, has been playing basketball for less than half-year and has already bagged a spot on the team ahead of Nijimura Shuzo, a leading forward in the middle school scene.

An all-rounded player, who grows at basketball, at a rate, never seen before, he might be the most inexperienced player of the Teiko team, but he makes it up with pure talent.

He catches many eyes, with his charm of a model and the athleticism of a basketball player.

You can certainly see many admirers at his games and cheers when he plays on the court.
