Chapter 359

"I will look forward to it."

That posture and tone were very much like facing a junior, with victory already in his grasp.

Kise could feel it and didn't speak again; respect is earned with fists, not with words.

That is something he learned from Tian Dao.

Both sides were ready, and the referee brought the ball onto the court.

The game began amidst the cheers of nearly 20,000 spectators.

Starting lineups for both sides:

Kaijo High School: Kasamatsu Yukio, Moriyama Yoshitaka, Kise Ryota, Hayakawa Mitsuhiro, Kobori Shinji.

Kirisaki Daiichi: Hanamiya Makoto, Yamazaki Hiroshi, Tian Dao Jing Yan, Hara Kazuya, Seto Kentaro.

Kirisaki Daiichi made some personnel adjustments for this game.

Furuhashi Kojiro and Matsumoto Tree were on standby on the bench.

Jump ball segment.

Kaijo sent out Hayakawa Mitsuhiro, this power forward who is only 1.85 meters tall, possessing jet-like jumping speed and height.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and the moment it fell, he stomped on the floor and sprang up at high speed.

"Mine!"

Seto Kentaro didn't jump slowly, but he still lost to the shorter Hayakawa Mitsuhiro.

"This is completely different from what I saw in the data, this guy."

Hayakawa Mitsuhiro, a power forward with extremely outstanding athletic ability, extremely strong instantaneous explosive power, and an especially outstanding sense for rebounds. He is a simple hot-blooded creature who can't pronounce the 'ra' sound and often shouts things his teammates don't understand.

He doesn't possess very strong scoring ability; his scoring is concentrated in the paint, and he lacks offensive means like shooting.

His advantages are extremely strong rim protection and excellent instantaneous explosive power, allowing Hayakawa Mitsuhiro to stand his ground in the paint filled with tall players despite his 1.85-meter height.

This was the data Mayu gave them, and they recalled it almost subconsciously.

Precisely because of this, Kirisaki Daiichi reacted quickly.

They turned and retreated to defend and take their positions at the first opportunity, setting up a 3-2 zone defense according to Tian Dao's deployment before the game.

Three people outside, two inside.

Kaijo is a team with very strong shooting ability.

This is the result of the training camp, the tactical execution learned from Shutoku.

Kaijo had no choice but to terminate their intention to rush the offense, and Kise, who had run out at the first opportunity, could only brake on the spot.

The first offense of both sides fell into a set-piece battle.

This is not what Kaijo wanted to see.

The ball reached Kise's hands, a standard triple-threat move.

It makes people unable to tell his next move for a moment—passing, shooting, breaking through, all three possibilities exist; this is what triple threat means.

For Kise, who has a rich arsenal of weapons, this kind of triple threat is a true triple threat.

PS: Just woke up. Yesterday I went to the hospital to accompany my wife for a check-up. It took from 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon to finish, over a dozen items, and I had to wait for the results after finishing.

Home is quite far from the hospital, and going back and forth is quite troublesome, so I waited until the results came out before going home. I originally planned to rest after finishing the update, but I couldn't hold on after eating, so I lay on the bed and just woke up now. Sorry everyone. ===== CHAPTER 361 =====
