Story[]

Winter Cup[]

Semi-finals[]

Nakamura subbed in for the injured Ryōta Kise during the Winter Cup semi-finals against Seirin High and double teamed Taiga Kagami along with Mitsuhiro Hayakawa [1].

Being on guard for Kagami's dribble, Nakamura and Hayakawa marked him tight. But Kagami has fired up after Tetsuya Kuroko's Phantom Shot got blocked and rages through their defense.[2] They later get passed once more.

Kagami starts heating up and drives past his double-team multiple times, leaving Nakamura impressed, comparing him to Kise's dominant skill. The first half ends and in the third quarter, a strong Kaijō gives resistance, but Seirin continues to overwhelm. As a repetition from the first half, Kagami slips past his defense again and Nakamura cannot keep up. Seirin pulls ahead with a 15-point lead and Kise enters the match again, subbing Nakamura out.[3] Nakamura continues to cheer his team on from the bench. When Seirin eventually comes out on top, a hurt Kaijō team drains to the locker room.[4]
