Chapter 293: The match ended quickly

Kagami's kneeling seemed to have knelt away Seirin's fighting spirit.

On the bench, everyone had long since lost the style they had at the beginning.

As a rookie coach, Aida Riko's shortcomings were exposed at this moment.

If she were a mature coach, she would have made substitutions by now, saving energy for the upcoming round-robin tournament and focusing on qualifying first.

But she believed that substituting a player whose mentality had exploded would dampen the team's morale.

She was still thinking of ways to encourage the players not to give up and to pull themselves together.

But the players looked at the numbers on the scoreboard; they were already trailing Kirisaki Daiichi by 35 points.

How much effort would it take to turn that score around?

Kagami sat there with a white towel over his head, not saying a word.

This was the greatest setback he had experienced since he started playing basketball.

He was in a pathetic state in front of the national audience.

They couldn't win.

Even if the whole team worked as one, they absolutely couldn't win.

He was weak.

If he were strong enough, as strong as Tiandao, he could solve all the problems, and these things wouldn't happen.

He could feel that the team's morale had hit rock bottom. Kagami wanted to do something, but Tiandao's words kept echoing in his mind.

It was indeed too bleak.

"We've reached this point, and you still refuse to give up?" Hara Kazuya noticed the atmosphere on the Seirin bench.

The players were lifeless, yet the head coach was still trying to work on their minds, delusional about a comeback?

"You should say less of that kind of thing in the future; it's like being a villain." Tiandao told him to shut up.

That kind of talk sounded exactly like a villain's tone, specifically meant to push the protagonist group to grow.

In the original work, Touou also did this, and then they were eliminated by the upgraded Seirin in the Winter Cup.

"Aren't we the villains?" Furuhashi Kojiro asked back with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Hmm..." The bad boys of Kirisaki Daiichi all fell silent.

Damn, are you guys serious?

Hilarious.

So these guys actually knew they were villains.

Silence is the Cambridge of tonight...

The audience watching the bullet comments and their reactions were all amused.

Everyone discovered that the Kirisaki Daiichi players had quite distinct personalities.

It might also be that the personalities of the Seirin teammates were too flat; being too generic meant they lacked standout features.

This made the distinct personalities of these Kirisaki Daiichi misfits stand out.

The break between quarters passed quickly. ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
