Ep. 19: Seirin rests after Touou victory and meets Alex Garcia before Nakamiya South match
Aired on February 16, 2014
Following a hard-fought win against Touou, the Seirin basketball team seeks accommodation and accepts Kagami’s invitation to his home. There, they discover Alexandra Garcia, Kagami’s mentor, sleeping in the house. The group then attends a Winter Cup match where Shutoku defeats Onita, drawing Midorima’s attention from Alex. Subsequently, Seirin analyzes their upcoming opponent, Nakamiya South, while Alex trains Kagami and Kuroko seeks shooting instruction from Aomine. As the game against Nakamiya South approaches, Seirin benches Kuroko and Kagami, opting for a starting lineup composed entirely of second-year players to determine their progress in the tournament.
