Praise be to everyone on here for giving me links that allowed me to continue to read the novel.
I just read what was scanlated on the manhua (sp?) and I needed to know more so I went searching. I found Asiaisaru's wonderful, detailed, and footnoted translations and then worried about not finding the others. Especially considering how it's been since updates.
Thanks to all of you now I can finish this up in a few hours. I really want to know what goes horribly bad for a few chapters that Redturtle95 translated and the good stuff that luxiufer got that they commented on in their blog.
It's taken me a while to find the translations (LJ archives, thank you) but I'm good to go.
Again, thank you all. Especially you wonderful translators and summary writers.
I get why it had to be like this.
First, they needed something to completely enrage ALL of the Miracles and entice into teaming up again.
Second, well the U.S. is basically #1 in basketball. So if they are going to show how badass the Miracles and Kuroko are they needed to go up against the best.
Third, this isn't a normal team. They didn't pick a high school or college team. They picked a street basketball team that made it famous. Is that possible? Never heard of tours or such for teams like this except for the Harlem Globetrotters.
Fourth, Well we all know some dick players in high school, college, and pro level who think they are god and hate playing against those who they think are beneath them. They just all got together for this street team.
Fifth, even if they made the other team as villainous as possible...I'm glad it is something that no one expected and is completely shocked and upset about because this means they expected better out of them. In essence, these guys are an outlier from the respected form of basketball. It's not because they are Americans or anything like that. They are just dicks.
For some reason the chapters won't work so if you want to read this really beautiful story go to the scan group tumblr.
