Seirin High School"s basketball squad is searching for fresh players as it enters its second season. Though the roster remains thin, new starters Taiga Kagami and Tetsuya Kuroko make up for the shortfall in skill. Kagami, a prodigious American talent, and Kuroko, whose slight build hides his role in Teikou Middle School"s famed "Generation of Miracles" team, bring high quality to the lineup.
After honing their teamwork, Seirin suffers a setback at the Interhigh tournament when it meets Touou Academy—the current home of former teammate Daiki Aomine. Weary of weak opposition, Aomine single‑handedly crushes Kagami and Kuroko"s emerging "light and shadow" duo, asserting they can never eclipse him or his brilliance. Their coach, a former pro, insists on relentless practice. The squad also hones shooting accuracy under night drills. City fans eagerly await each game"s outcome. Aomine"s swagger has intensified after recent victories.
With the Winter Cup now approaching, a revitalized Seirin seeks revenge against Touou. Despite intensive practice, the effort may fall short as Aomine begins to pierce through Kuroko and Kagami"s schemes. Kuroko"s tactics remain mystery.
