Chapter 40

Kawasaki Dai was forced to call a timeout at the start.

Their head coach discovered that this year's Teikou was different from previous years, mainly reflected in their playstyle.

The pace of the match was exceptionally rapid; apart from the first set play where Nijimura Shuzo used his familiar penetration and kick-out to create an opportunity, the subsequent two attacks were both fast breaks.

They hadn't even recovered their senses before they were hit by a 7:0 run by Teikou.

They had encountered fast-paced teams before, but never one this fast.

At this moment, they had already felt the shock of advanced future basketball.

It was mainly that number 14 freshman; he would steal the ball at the drop of a hat. You're so accurate, who wants to play with you?

Adjustments had to be made, or this match would likely fall apart.

But as the match restarted, he immediately discovered a new problem.

The team's offense couldn't get going at all.

Their top scorer was completely frozen.

That number 14 kid wasn't just good at stealing; his defense was like an iron gate, completely locking down Yoshizawa Ayumi.

With no other choice, he could only perform hand seals on the sidelines, directing his players to get the ball into the paint and score using their second scoring option.

Who knew that the Four Great Centers of Kanagawa would also be helpless against Murasakibara Atsushi.

Murasakibara looked thin, but his resistance was surprisingly strong; standing there, the Kawasaki Dai center couldn't push in even half a step no matter how he tried.

Forcing a layup just meant giving the opponent a free block.

With both internal and external cores locked down, this was a bit difficult.

Throughout the first quarter, Kawasaki Dai could only blindly heave shots from the outside, relying on mid-to-long-range shots to barely reach double digits.

And Teikou, very efficiently, scored 28 points in a single quarter.

28:10!

The ambitious Kawasaki Dai was blown out by Teikou in the first quarter.

Tiandao Jingyan had 11 points, 1 rebound, and 5 steals, becoming the brightest star on the court.
