Chapter 124

Seiho failed to narrow the point difference back to a 1-ball gap, instead trailing Teikou by 14 points, 57:43.

It's not an irreversible score; in later basketball, let alone 14 points, even 24 points can be reversed to win.

But in current basketball, the team's offense leans toward positional play, and a 14-point gap is not so easy to chase.

Especially since Seiho is not a team known for three-pointers; playing 2 points by 2 points, they need to make 7 successful defenses while also seizing opportunities themselves.

This difficulty is too high!

What's more, there is a potential crisis threatening them.

Teikou's players have already begun to adapt to their Ancient Martial Arts.

Such a discovery shocked the people from Seiho.

In the past, when they played against other teams, it took a whole match for them to adapt to their Ancient Martial Arts.

At least they would be familiar by the fourth quarter, but by then, the result of the match had already been determined.

And today.

In just two quarters of match time, those first-years from Teikou gradually got used to their movements and were no longer easily confused by their awkward stances.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Seiho's head coach gritted his teeth secretly, then sighed helplessly.

Little did he know, the reason Teikou could adapt to Seiho's Ancient Martial Arts so quickly, besides Tiandao and the others being truly gifted.

Most importantly, they also have the most outstanding intelligence-gathering expert.

Momoi Satsuki is not just good-looking!

Of course, Seiho's head coach wouldn't think this has anything to do with that cute little girl who gets along well with the players.

Just a basketball club manager, what's so strange about that?

Their basketball club has one too; at most, Teikou's manager's pectoral muscles are much more developed than theirs?

The match entered the halftime break.

Seiho's players were all dejected when they left the court.

This won't do.

The old man clapped his hands hard, "Don't look so listless. We aren't finished this year; we'll go to the national tournament to get revenge on Teikou."

"So, cheer up for the next two games. Next time, there will be no way out!"

After a bowl of Seiho-brand chicken soup, the players reignited their fighting spirit.

This match let them see how big the gap between them and Teikou is.

However, it hasn't reached the point where they can't play, so naturally, there won't be any scenes of giving up because they can't see hope of winning.

It's only 14 points; if they work hard, it's not that there's no chance to catch up.

There is still some time before the national tournament, and they can fully sprint one more time.

When they meet again, they must cut Teikou down!

Thinking of this, the young guys from Seiho all looked toward Teikou with eyes on fire.

This manga plot naturally made Tiandao sweat.

As a result, when the second half of the match started, the audience found that Seiho had raised the white flag.

Their five starting players, including Harugad Ryuhei and Tsugawa Tomoki, were all resting on the bench.

The five players on the court were all young substitute players who had difficulty getting playing time in the group stage.

Although the team's morale was already very low, after all, they were prepared to lose, but the match had to continue.

In combat sports, if the strength gap between the two sides is too large, there might be a 10-second KO situation.

This is actually a relief for the weak.

At least he can die peacefully.

But ball games can't; no matter how badly you are devastated, you must endure until the match time runs out.

Seiho's substitutes couldn't help but look up at the timer.

Damn it, how come only 4 minutes have been played in the third quarter.......

Their path of pain hasn't been finished yet.

Platinum Kozo naturally wouldn't swing the butcher's knife at such a dispirited opponent and replaced Tiandao and the others early.

But the problem is, Teikou's substitutes were the former first-string team......

Those third-year players, although they accepted the fate of being substitutes for the team's victory and the championship, this doesn't mean they would be indifferent when they have a chance to perform.

After this year, they will be moving up, and they must plan a good future for themselves.

If they don't perform well now, I'm afraid opportunities will be even rarer in the future.

"I don't want my junior high career to end so hastily." Yamanaka Yuta looked at Tiandao, who went to tease Riko after returning to the bench, and shook his head helplessly.

Thanks to this brat, every match Teikou plays this year is packed.

There are always a few high school basketball club coaches appearing.

According to his observation, Kirisaki's Hara and Shutoku's Nakatani have already appeared in Teikou's matches at least three times.
