Chapter 274

So what they had to do in this match was to bring out their own strengths and use their offensive basketball to crush Kirisaki Daiichi.

Seeing that everyone understood, she nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Kirisaki Daiichi's bench.

The next second, her body stiffened, as if she had seen something terrifying.

"What's wrong, Coach?"

Aida Riko didn't respond to Hyuga Junpei; she withdrew her gaze and lowered her head in thought, but cold sweat was dripping from her forehead.

"What's going on with those physical stats?"

They surpassed any high school student she had ever seen, including her own team's ace, Kagami Taiga.

On the other side, Tiandao had just taken off his jacket, preparing to go on court.

"Eh? Tiandao, are you going on?"

"Ah, after all, they are old teammates, so I should be a bit serious."

Putting on his wristbands in a very Kobe-like fashion, he stepped onto the court with the bad boys of Kirisaki Daiichi.

"Please treat us well."

"Please treat us well."

The match began, and there weren't many changes to the starting lineups for both sides.

Seirin's starting five: Izuki Shun, Hyuga Junpei, Kuroko Tetsuya, Kagami Taiga, and Mitobe Rinnosuke.

Kirisaki Daiichi's starters: Hanamiya Makoto, Yamazaki Hiroshi, Tiandao Jingyan, Hara Kazuya, and Matsumoto Tree.

Furuhashi Kojiro and Seta Kentaro were waiting on the bench.

With a whistle, the ball was tossed into the air by the referee.

Kagami Taiga took the lead and jumped high, stretching his right arm to the fullest, and tapped the ball to Izuki Shun.

"So high."

"As expected of the super jump that could block that kind of shot."

Matsumoto Tree was no match for Kagami Taiga at all and lost the jump ball without any surprise.

Without giving them time to react, Seirin's offensive had already fully unfolded.

Run-and-gun!

This is Seirin's most proficient tactic, using blitzkrieg to score.

Their lineup is also on the smaller side; positional warfare is not their strength, and fast breaks and counterattacks are their favorite ways to score.

Izuki Shun locked onto Kuroko's direction, and after the two exchanged a tacit look.

Then, Izuki Shun threw the ball to a seemingly empty spot; Kuroko touched the ball and passed it, with a forceful tap, the basketball seemed to change direction automatically, turning into a pass that went through three Kirisaki Daiichi defenders and slammed near the free-throw line.

Kagami Taiga arrived almost at the same time, grabbed the rebounding ball, jumped again, and performed a one-armed dunk with the momentum of burning the sky.

"So fast!"

"When did he run to that place?"

"Wasn't he still fighting for the ball with Matsumoto just now?"

Hara Kazuya and the others were all taken aback; that guy from Seirin, known by fans as the "Flying Man," seemed to have astonishing athletic ability.

"Dunk it, Kagami!" Aida Riko had already prepared her cheering motion.

Kagami's shocking kneel had somewhat of a blow to the team's morale.

As challengers, they needed confidence even more than Kirisaki Daiichi.

Then they would attack wildly at the start; once the score was in the lead, the team members would have confidence.

However.

The moment Kagami Taiga slammed the ball into the rim, a white figure quickly entered Aida Riko's pupils.

Under her gaze, Tiandao arrived first despite starting later, meeting Kagami Taiga head-on.

The next second, "Boom," Kagami Taiga's ball was nailed firmly to the backboard, accompanied by Tiandao's light voice.

"Run-and-gun? That's an outdated tactic!" ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
