Chapter 111

This match, which concerns the first place in the Tokyo area, did not let the fans down.

Both sides entered the state quickly from the beginning, offering the audience an intense confrontation.

At least the first quarter of the match was like this.

Including Tiandao, there was little performance in this quarter.

The ball possession was almost entirely in Nijimura Shuzo's hands, and he lived up to expectations, exploding for 14 points in a single quarter.

It was a lesson to Seihou for not respecting him.

After all, he is Teikou's captain; for you Seihou people not to come and double-team me but instead go and double-team my junior, isn't that looking down on me too much?

Shirogane Goro was very satisfied with his disciple's first-quarter performance.

"Well done, Nijimura." After the players left the court, he was the first to praise his captain.

"Just doing what I should, Coach." Nijimura Shuzo didn't take it to heart, joking, "Thanks to Tiandao, other teams don't target me with defense anymore."

This kind of thing wasn't the first time; Tiandao in the group stage snatched all the attention of other teams away from Nijimura Shuzo.

Seeing Seihou do the same today, the Teikou captain and coach immediately knew how this battle should be fought.

The first quarter ended.

The score was 23:20, with Teikou temporarily leading by 3 points.

The point gap didn't widen, the match was also exciting, and the rivalry between the two teams' fans hadn't ended.

Teikou's first single-quarter score didn't exceed 30, which is enough to prove Seihou's powerful defensive ability.

"I'll leave the second quarter to you, Akashi, Haizaki." Shirogane Goro didn't overwork the starters just because the point gap wasn't large.

He rotated as usual, choosing to let Akashi lead the substitutes to deal with the opponent at the beginning of the second quarter.

"Hmm." Akashi nodded, understanding his task was not to let the opponent overtake the point gap.

But what he had to do was to widen the gap that the starters couldn't widen.

"Tch!" Haizaki was annoyed; he was actually a substitute for that bastard Tiandao.

Who told him to lose the practice match?

He could only accept it for now, and take Tiandao down another day to snatch his starting spot.

And so, when the match restarted, people found that Teikou had actually replaced the starters early, which surprised everyone a bit.

How much do they look down on the King Seihou?

Seihou's people were also angry; they are the dignified King Seihou...'s affiliated junior high, and yet they aren't playing for their lives but doing normal rotation?

Who would like this feeling of being looked down upon?

Especially Kasuga Ryūhei.

He had already received a guarantee from Seihou High School's coach that he would officially enter the Seihou High School basketball department next year.

You Teikou can't look down on me like this no matter how strong you are.

But the reality is, neither Akashi nor Kasuga Ryūhei got their wish.

The point gap between the two teams still couldn't be widened.

On one hand, this team Seihou really has strength; none of the teams that broke out of the group stage are simple goods.

On the other hand, Teikou's substitutes are very strong.

Not to mention Akashi, the remaining three players were originally First String level, having fought south and north with Nijimura Shuzo last year, with impressive combat power.

What's more, there was also Haizaki, this "Pokémon" who threw himself into the net not long ago.

Now Teikou doesn't have starters and substitutes in the true sense; they possess two sets of starting-level lineups. ===== CHAPTER 113 =====
