I Never Expected... is the two hundred and second chapter of the Kuroko no Basuke manga.
Summary[]
Kaijo scores, and four seconds are left in the game. However, Seirin is not panicking at all. Kise realizes that something is definitely wrong.
Flashback: After Kuroko explains his strategy, everyone believes that it will be easy for them to stop Kise since they know what he’s going to do. However, Kuroko corrects them—it would only be possible to stop Kise if passing is not an option. Now, however, Kise doesn’t play for himself anymore as he did in the past. Kuroko then apologizes; he always wanted Kise to become a team player, but he never imagined it would make him unstoppable. Therefore, he only has one request—do not stop Kise.
Presently, Kiyoshi passes straight to Kagami who then charges down the court. Akashi comments that everything from the run-and-gun has been heading to this moment. Seirin lured Kise under the net and gave Kagami a chance to gain a head start after he would score. Looking at Kuroko, Akashi concludes that Kuroko may have given up on stopping Kise, but he never gave up on the match.
Kasamatsu chases after Kagami, but he knows he will be unable to stop him because of the height difference. Suddenly, Kise rushes past him and catches up to Kagami. Kiyoshi realizes that Kobori’s quick reaction and his pass which had a higher arc gave Kise time to catch up. Kagami desperately realizes that he has no choice but to use Meteor Jam. However, he is not in the Zone, and Kise’s overwhelming pressure is crushing him. Kagami realizes with a sinking heart that he won’t make the shot.
Kuroko’s voice suddenly calls out to him; however, Kise is confident that Kagami will not be able to respond in time. Understanding what Kuroko’s planning, Kagami bounces the ball off the backboard to Kuroko. Catching it, Kuroko scores a buzzer beater with his Phantom Shot.
