The Teiko Middle School Basketball Club is where the legend of the Generation of Miracles began.
Toru Amamiya, who was born with impaired cardiopulmonary function, will never be able to step onto the official playing field.
He sat on the sidelines as a scorer, with a dark gray notebook and a black pen, recording the number of hits and errors, as well as the flaws that the geniuses themselves were not aware of.
The half-second pick-and-roll time difference, the fifteen-degree change of direction, the old injury hidden in the landing action... What others see as "simultaneity" is a series of clear numbers in his eyes.
From the tactical bottleneck that the second army had been stuck in for several months, to the fatal flaw in the desperate situation of the national competition; from being discovered by the red-haired vice-captain at a glance, to being looked at by the geniuses of the Miracle Generation.
He didn't play, but he tied the whole team's victory or defeat.
Beyond the legend of light and shadow, the seventh man hiding on the sidelines is being closely watched by the Generation of Miracles.
