Chapter 230: Become famous in basketball!
Chapter 230: No. Middle School becomes famous for its basketball!
You can say that the super powers in "Kuroko's Basketball" are unreasonable, but you can't say it's bad.
"Phantom Basketball" is a well-known work of "Weekly Shonen Jump". This can be seen from the fact that in 2012, which just ended, "Phantom Basketball" was the second best-selling Japanese comic in the whole year.
The first is One Piece, and the third is Naruto.
"Based on the Chinese genius? The Chinese genius can actually play basketball?"
"interesting."
"This Chinese talent has been really popular recently. Junji Ito, who became famous last year, used his name. Kyogoku Natsuhiko, a novelist who debuted this year writing ghost stories, also said that he was influenced by him. How can it be so exaggerated? Now basketball comics are also related to him."
"Fujimaki Tadashi is different, right? I heard that Fujimaki Tadashi went to China specifically for this."
"Gu Lu is such a genius that it makes us feel uneasy about Japan's education. Why can't Japan produce such a genius?!"
And so on, discussions are raging.
Many people who were not the target audience of "Kuroko's Basketball" also bought it out of curiosity.
[Gu Lu
Number: 37
Position: PG (Point Guard)
Nickname: Writer of the Stadium
Special Skills:
[Write the ending] The extremely powerful brain can simulate the outcome of an entire game in the mind. The more detailed the opponent information collected, the more detailed the simulation, just like writing.
吕平
Number: 24
Nickname: The Crocodile
Position: PF (Power Forward)
Special Skills:
[Unyielding Fighting Spirit] He has the fighting spirit of never admitting defeat. The more tired and dangerous the situation is, the better he performs. During junior high school, he set a crazy record of 10 buzzer-beating shots in 4 games.

In the manga, the protagonists Kuroko Tetsuya and Kagami Taiga had a tough battle, especially since the two of them worked together so well that no matter how their teammates struggled, it seemed as if their opponents had expected it.
"Wow, Gu Lu is good at writing and playing basketball. He is simply the best high school student in history!" said Xiaohao, a comic fan.
"Are you stupid? Of course comics are fake." said my deskmate Xiao Lie.
"The comic is a bit exaggerated, but he is so powerful in the comic, which proves that Gu Lu must be very good at basketball in real life." Xiao Hao said.
That makes sense, Xiao Lie agreed. After all, the beginning of the extra story states that it is adapted from a real prototype, so there must be a prototype.
"Can we win?" Xiao Lie saw the ending.
"The protagonist team will definitely win," Xiaohao said, "but the opponent is so strong that we have no idea how they will win."
Both of their eyes stayed on the last two frames of the comic.
The second-to-last frame contains Kuroko Tetsuya’s big expression and a speech bubble: “I feel like someone is watching us from above.”
The last painting shows the five members of the Seirin school team on the court, looking up at the sky nervously, while Gu Lu (in the comics) is looking down at the court like God.
The story ends abruptly.
To know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter. The author will tell you what to say next. Author’s words: I visited the basketball club of No. 8 Middle School half a month ago, which allowed me to see the different school team culture. The talented writer Gu Lu was known as the “basketball club’s poster boy” in the basketball club. It is hard to imagine that his basketball activities have gradually developed, and his writing career has not been left behind. Gu Lu’s long story “The Little Prince” published by Xiangchuan Press will soon be published in Japan. Please look forward to it!
"Gu Lu is the face of our basketball club. He usually doesn't play in the game, but as long as he is there, he is very useful in our basketball club." Lu Ping spoke the truth. Because Gu Lu is there, it is much easier for the basketball club to apply for venues and sports equipment.
At that time, the translator was still translating the conversation between Sato and Gu Lu, and was too busy to handle it all. Naturally, Fujimaki Tadatoshi and Lu Ping were barely able to communicate using the translator.
The translator is obviously not very smart as it translates "facade" into Japanese as "kanban" (signboard).
The translation error caused the meaning to be completely different. Taking One Piece as an example, Kaido has three big signs under his command, which are basically equivalent to the meaning of three big signs. It is no wonder that Fujimaki Tadashi misunderstood Lu Ping's words.
"The writer on the court is so handsome. Is the No. 8 Middle School in China's Foggy City really that strong? It's simply unbelievable."
"I think it's definitely strong. Chinese basketball is strong in Asia, and No. 8 Middle School is the best high school basketball team in China, that goes without saying. Don't we have a high school league and a national high school basketball selection competition in Japan? Can we invite No. 8 Middle School to come over and play a game?"
"Write down the ending. What a cool special ability. It feels similar to Allen Iverson's nickname. [Answer] has a result as soon as he enters the court."
"Lü Ping is also very strong! He has an unyielding fighting spirit, and he's number 24. Is his prototype Kobe Bryant?"
"I also like Lu Ping more. The unyielding crocodile is a real man. [As long as it's an opponent, you must go all out!] I like this line so much. Lu Ping and Qingfeng Daihui are simply a control group. The former will go all out regardless of whether the opponent is weak or not. The latter will lose interest if the opponent is too weak."
……
The joint publicity plan was quite successful. It helped Heizi expand his readership to a certain extent, and Gu Lu's new work "The Little Prince" also became well-known.
It can even be said that Lu Ping has a small group of fans in Japan, although most of them are male, but it doesn’t matter! In the current situation, Lu Ping and the other students who were drawn in the basketball club of No. 8 Middle School probably never dreamed that...
It's a win-win-win situation.
The hot sales of the comics changed Gu Lu’s nickname from “China’s Genius” to “The Strongest High School Student in History”.
Gu Lu is known by more and more Japanese people. Whether or not they have read the short stories translated by Gu Lu, they all know that there is such a student.
Correspondingly, it was a bit of an accidental achievement.
It is well known that Taiwan's culture is deeply influenced by Japanese culture. This was still the case between 2010 and 2015, especially in the field of entertainment.
Many Japanese magazines have Taiwanese versions, and the aforementioned Fuwenzhi has a traditional Chinese version.
The trend of praising Gu Lu also spread to Taiwan. A few years later, when Chai Zhiping's company in Taiwan was filming the sci-fi idol drama "KO One", the title of the protagonist "the strongest high school student in history" originated from this.
Wang Dadong in the TV series is called the second person to be crowned as "the strongest high school student in history". Don't be surprised why there are two people in "history". It's just because one is in the golden time and space, and the other is in the bronze time and space.
As for the specific situation, we will wait until a few years later when Gu Lu graduates from college and this drama is broadcast, and we will tell you about it when he is so embarrassed that he picks his feet. Now let’s continue talking about Kuangfeng named Gu Lu.
Neon is a country that has achieved universal Internet access, so even after 12 years, the number of Japanese netizens is still quite astonishing.
On the Yahoo forum with the most netizens, someone proposed a discussion.
[Do you agree that Gu Lu is as talented as Guan Xiaohe? ]
Seki Takakazu is the first genius in Japanese history. Because of his contribution to mathematics, he is revered as the "Saint of Mathematics" by the Japanese.
