Shūtoku takes all 3 practice matches against Seirin, but all the games are by less than double-digits, and all of them are without Kagami. After the third game Kagami learns his jumping power has dramatically improved. Midorima challenges him to a one-on-one match and forces him to jump off his right foot, where he only has the ability to jump. Kagami realizes he must learn to win aerial battles in order to beat The Generation of Miracles, and Kuroko learns he must learn to drive with the ball with no presence in order to surpass the Generation of Miracles. The next day the team is headed to the station when they are intercepted by their coach. She tells them they are making a detour to watch the second quarterfinal match of the Interhigh: Tōō Academy vs. Kaijō featuring Aomine vs. Kise, a match-up Kise has never won before in one-on-one battles.
