Summary
For the last three years, Teikou Middle School has dominated the national basketball scene with its legendary lineup: the "Generation of Miracles." It consisted of five prodigies who excelled at the sport, but a "Phantom Sixth Man" lurked in the shadows and helped earn the team their revered status. Eventually, their monstrous growth jaded them from the sport they loved and made them go their separate ways in high school.In search of new members, the Seirin High School basketball team recruits Taiga Kagami and Tetsuya Kuroko, two freshmen who seem to have significant differences in abilities. Having returned recently from America, Kagami has both a natural aptitude and relentless love for the sport. Meanwhile, Kuroko lacks presence and exhibits no outstanding athletic talent. However, it is later revealed that he is Teikou’s Phantom Sixth Man—the player once part of the Generation of Miracles.
Kuroko wants to prove to the Seirin team that he is strong in his own way. Seeing his conviction, Kagami forms a dynamic partnership with Kuroko, the latter promising to support Kagami’s “light” as his “shadow.” Alongside their new Seirin teammates, they aim to conquer the upcoming Interhigh championship, but the reappearance of Kuroko’s former teammates complicates their plan.

While they struggle to increase their numbers, freshmen recruits Taiga Kagami and Tetsuya Kuroko compensate for it in terms of quality.

Summary
Seirin High School's quarterfinal opponent in the Winter Cup is the highly defensive Yousen High School. Much of their "Shield of Aegis" defense is thanks to Atsushi Murasakibara, one of Tetsuya Kuroko's former "Generation of Miracles" teammates, and Tatsuya Himuro, a skilled player who has a history with Taiga Kagami.Unable to settle their previous score, Kagami and Himuro resolve to use this high-stakes match to determine the superior player. At the same time, Kuroko’s past gripes with his former teammate make the atmosphere on the court even more intense.
If they manage to make it past Yousen, Seirin’s old rivals at Kaijou High await them in the semifinals, including another of Kuroko’s former teammates, Ryouta Kise. Figuring out how to dismantle Kise’s “Perfect Copy” will be the key to Seirin’s victory, but this may be a tall order when they realize that Kaijou’s star has learned to copy the other Miracles’ playstyles.
