Chapter 153: Teikou's demon star
In one day, it was almost impossible to make progress.
Baijin Kozo didn't arrange training tasks, and half the time was spent in the conference room.
After ensuring that every team member had memorized the intelligence May brought back, Baijin Kozo let the team run the tactics for tomorrow.
There was no need to make changes on the offensive end; Teikou's current lineup had as many scoring means as stars in the sky, and even Baijin Kozo, as the head coach, didn't know how many possibilities existed in these children.
Rather than letting them run tactics step by step, it was better to let them release their potential.
Therefore, their preparation could only be aimed at the enemy's defense.
The effect was significant; in the second day's match, Teikou, relying on their lead in intelligence and the fact that their level was already higher than the opponent's, successfully limited the opponent's scoring to under 70 points.
Such a score was simply not enough to defeat Teikou.
You have to know, Teikou was the team known for the greatest firepower this year, with an average of 110.3 points per game.
Without suspense, Teikou won the top 32 match and advanced to the next round, which was the top 16 of the National Tournament.
As Teikou's ace, Tian Lizi once again contributed a wonderful performance in this match.
He scored 38 points, 3 assists, 8 steals, and 2 rebounds in a single match.
Nowadays, besides scoring and steals, Tian Lizi really couldn't brush up on other data.
There were too many data brushers on the team.
He was basically packed by Baijin Kozo to go on court with Murasakibara; unless the giant baby with purple hair got sick and left the court, it was hard for Tian Lizi to brush up on rebounds.
And with Kuroko joining the team, it was also hard to brush up on assists, so he could only be a ruthless offensive and defensive machine.
"This is too much of a waste of talent."
Tian Lizi began to miss the feeling of having the basketball in his hands.
The triangle offense was good, but without the ball in his hands for a long time, he just felt uncomfortable.
This was a typical performance of someone who hadn't been poisoned.
However, even for Jordan, Kobe, and the others, it took many years for them to truly mature.
When they were young, they were also unadulterated ball hogs, pursuing scoring, pursuing shots, pursuing data, pursuing the scoring title and MVP.
It wasn't until they had harvested enough scoring titles and such awards that they began to crave the championship and gradually let go of selfishness, considering the team more.
Baijin Kozo could naturally see Tian Lizi's restless "ball hog" heart.
He didn't expect Tian Lizi to understand the truth that only by uniting everyone could one win everything right now.
Beside any king, there needs to be at least one general willing to charge for him; relying on one person to fight the world, one will die on horseback sooner or later.
Fortunately, Tian Lizi was still very young, and he had enough time to teach him how to become an outstanding king.
Then, the top 16 match arrived.
Today, they would face a team from Gunma Prefecture.
Speaking of which, this team had some origins with Teikou.
Last year, the two teams met in the National Tournament and fought all the way to overtime to decide the winner.
It also happened to be in the match of 16 into 8.
Now that a year had passed, the two teams met again in this position, and many fans could already smell the gunpowder in the air.
However, more people still believed that Teikou would have the last laugh, eliminating this batch of fast horses from Gunma Prefecture for two consecutive years.
Tian Lizi's performance today was absolutely phenomenal, hailed as Teikou's demon star.
Whenever a demon star is born, the world must be in chaos.
It was exactly the same as his current slaughter in the National Tournament.
On this day, the match scene was still noisy.
Teikou fans and opposing fans were shouting at each other across the Chu River and Han Border.
After Tian Lizi appeared, he saw a group of people on the opponent's bench with eyes like they were on fire.
Obviously, the other side was here for revenge today.
Of course, this was not in Tian Lizi's consideration; he didn't mind being a firefighter for once.
There's a fire?
Just put it out!
After the warm-up, Baijin Kozo gathered all the team members together for the final mobilization.
"I have already said what needs to be paid attention to before, and I will emphasize it again here."
"Be careful of that Hayama Kotaro; he has very excellent athletic ability and is a player with a strong sense of competition."
"Especially his dribbling, it is definitely above the national level, played very resiliently and aggressively."
"His one-on-one ability is very strong, he is good at breaking through to attack the basket, and he has the ability to explode at a single point."
