Yes, there's 3 things they could be doing right now. 1) Double mark Kagami with tall players and force him to move around and get tired. 2) Rush Kagami and jump/make noise to cause him to get flustered. He's the type of person that believes he wont miss and when he finally does he'll realize he's risking too much with long shots which will result in him not doing them so much. 3) Keep a tall player back by the net so when Kagami does shoot the full court shot the tall player can attempt to block as it's falling into the net or rebound it if it misses. And suggestion 3 won't work because that would count as goal tending, therefore giving the other team the points regardless. Oh. Even I was thinking just that. That Kagami can snatch the ball away before it drops into the net. But you can do that with 2 pointers right? I think I've seen it before. So why not with 3 pointers?? |

Awesome episode. Midorima is a monster lol. However I would like to see him loose, because he's damn annoying. Looking forward to next episode. |

Seirin is half tired right now because they had a match earlier on, though that's a possibility if they try. 2. Possible but really hard as when Midorima gets into form, he never misses. Either they do the double team or simply try to block his shots once he shoots. 3. Only tall player is Kagami(he's their center). And that's goal tending and the basket will count if you do that. |

| Full court shots can't be shot like that. Good job keeping the series at least partially based in reality ugh. |
| Nice episode. I do not mind unbelievable moves or full court shots as long as they entertain me. This is shounen show in the first place. So far, the series is in good pacing. Showing how they played the game was what I really like in this show. Good animation and music hit the spot for me. The middle school flashback was a great welcome too. I look forward to Seirin's awesome moves next week on how they will counter or shut down Mirodima's 3-pt shots. |

Lieila said: Nice episode. I do not mind unbelievable moves or full court shots as long as they entertain me. This is shounen show in the first place. Agree. should stick with half court shot only. that will be more believable I find this anime to be boring after midorima showed up. and he can never miss his shots? is just too unreal. and now they made him to be able to shoot anywhere in the court and makes it. thats just stupid.

So why not with 3 pointers?? do you guys know basketball at all? if more people mark midorima which means his teammates are open. obviously that leads to them scoring.they just won their game like 138 to like 40. they are not weak. and about the 2 and 3 pointer shots. if the ball reaches its arc peak when it is shot you can't block it. that will lead to a goal tending. then if everything can be blocked or snatch the ball before it goes in nobody will be making any points. |

| Midorima isn't someone I want to play with on court for sure.. Dx akito989 said: Lol, I agree with you.. Though Aomine's 1st match isn't that crazy yet.. It may not makes much sense, but I do think it's a great way to make the Generation as scary as it sounds..If you guys are ugh-ing on Midorima's shooting skill already, you're gonna have a hard time watching this anime's season 2. Or maybe you might have a hard time with Aomine's match.. |

| The coolness from the last moment of the last episode didn't carry on for so long. Takao messed things up pretty bad. Although it's difficult to make guesses about a character as mysterious as Kuroko, he seems to have the brains and that's probably what he is going to use to take care of him. Midorima's shoots were pretty ridiculous from that distance. Kagami's efforts weren't so bad. But I would have preferred him to make the 3-point shoot first and only then show his 3-point-fail-dunk play. Looks like he has gotten into the mood again. So next episode should be fun to watch with Kuroko and Kagami duo crashing Midorima and Takao. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |

And suggestion 3 won't work because that would count as goal tending, therefore giving the other team the points regardless. Full court man-to-man. I used to play basketball and our team played full court man-to-man defense from the first minute to the last bell ringing. It really tires the opponet team if they aren't trained for it. It also preassures inexperienced players alot more than any other defense such as normal man-to-man and zone defense. Shooter's with no agility, swift and smooth rhythm in their ball management will never be able to get any good places to shoot freely without big amount of non ball player screens. It feels like a standard for people in basketball anime to play zone defense, which is easily penetrated with proper training and good center(s) who know where to settle themselves. Then again, this is just an anime and normal people who have no insight of the game don't see these irrelevant flaws. I still find this anime very enjoyable and the actual basketball is well done too. |

After shooting, when the ball starts falling downwards, you can't touch the ball before it hits the ring or the board. If you touch it, the opponet will be granted "free" points, regardless if it would have went in or not. |
| Do you think this is a motherfucking game? |
| Takao you bitch!! Why must you be so fucking great?! |
| Shooting the ball and making it from way beyond half court is ... completely unrealistic. |

| Takao annoyed me since the very beggining of the episode, srsly. And Kagami entered rage/monster mode so I'm really curious about what's going to happen next. Midorima is just ridiculous o_O And poor Hyuga! He had to break his figures ; ^ ; |
| The NBA players are nobody compared to Midorima ! xD |
 |
| That cliffhanger is so annoying, I'm glad I didn't watch it when it came out, because that would kill me. Can't wait for the next episode because Kagami goes nuts. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| overrated . overrated . overrated !!! Kuroko no Basket is OVERRATED |

 |
| just WOW, I never think that Kuroko no Basket will be as awesome as it is. I hope Kuroko will find a way to stop Takao. Kagami rage mode... |
| Holy crap...... I want Midorima's skill IRL. XD |

 |
| Am I the only one who thought the full court whirlwind pass was the coolest part? |
| You're high schoolers wth. HIGH SCHOOLERS. D8 My goodness. They should've kept Midorima's shooting range to just half-court. Full court is just ridiculous. But still. I actually like Takao and Midorima. >___> I love watching them play. But I don't want Seirin to lose. But I think they're going to lose. BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO LOSE OMG. ;___; Kagami going into rage mode reminds me of Akaya's devil mode. Hahah. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Well, this is certainly a shonen jump series. |
| Midorima is a monster...Holy sh*t.. I can't wait for the next episode! |
| Holy crap, wtf? FULL COURT SHOOTING?! Don't get me wrong I LOVE Midorima and Takao (they make such an awesome duo! :D) but that's ... not possible. Seriously lol :S I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE D; Haha poor captain breaking his soldiers XD I dunno about you but I LOVE Takao being able to read Kuroko ♥ Shutoku better win - if they pull another upset it's just magical shounen plot THROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP AND DETERMINATION or some other crap like that -_-" I mean honestly, if they just win this whole thing I'm gonna FLIP A TABLE or something. (Nah just kidding lol). Oh and their coach is freaking awesome. So is their team. THROW A PINEAPPLE AT HIM WTF LOL XD MORE MIDDLE SCHOOL FLASHBACKS PLEASE. DO WANT XD (Midorima's reasoning is actually mine too. Obviously if you could go for three or two points ... YOU'D GO FOR THREE RIGHT?! *high five*) |
| Holy shit! Takao and Midorima are truly a fearsome pair. Stopping Kuroko's passes like that O_o' Awesome shit. Nightmare-Soul said: overrated . overrated . overrated !!! Kuroko no Basket is OVERRATED And so is Death Note... Your point was? |

| Seriously, I thought 100% high arc 3`s were pushing it, lol. Now that`s nothing but a joke compared to full court 100%. At least Kagami is getting a laugh out of this, I think he`ll go Gear Second/Bankai/Super Saiyan next episode. I wouldn`t find it strange or out of place at all actually. Just thought I should mention, I`m loving every second of this ^^ |
 |
| I wish I can shoot like Midorima, all the way across the fucking court. |
 |
| This was just ridiculous. 100% accuracy full court shot is just too ridiculous. It's nice having someone who can perfectly counter Kuroko, but a 100% accuracy is just over the top. What's next? Zanzouken basket with after images? Teleportation? I really wonder what the rest of the miracles are. They are supposed to be even better than Midori lol. This really started being more like a shounen battle show than a basketball show. They don't even focus on basket anymore. They only focus on the special abilities lol. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Way too much sausages on screen... Need more screen time for the coach. |
 |
| Did I see someone in God mode? First, 100% FG, then he can shot in full court!? |
 |
| I like this episode. it gives so much excitement >.< |
 |
| Can't they just stop the ball when it gets to the basket, or...? |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Kagami is excited (red aura) |
 |
| gaaaaaaaaaa!!! I hate that Takao!!! o.o omg! the ending!!! Kagami! ^^ |
