Chapter 413

~5 min read 818 words

The people from Seirin sighed with emotion.

Kirisaki Daichi's chemistry was getting better and better.

A small lineup could also play beautiful defense.

This is a matter of perspective.

Many people watching the 2017 Warriors thought they won by three-pointers and offense, relying on the fierce firepower of Durant, Curry, and Thompson to win the match.

Actually, that's not the case; if you flip through the 2017 Warriors' data, you'll understand that their defensive efficiency was the best in the league.

Although their lineup was small, it was flexible.

This allowed the Warriors to flexibly switch defenses, ensuring that every one of the opponent's attacks was interfered with and influenced.

This is the so-called infinite switching defense.

Of course, Kirisaki Daichi wasn't playing the Warriors' infinite switching defense either.

They had a Makoto Hanamiya in their team whose heart was dark to the extreme.

As long as they sacrificed a little bit, they could build a huge stage for Makoto Hanamiya.

While talking, Kirisaki Daichi had already pressed up as a whole.

Yosen clearly had also targeted Kirisaki Daichi's counterattack tactics and reacted very quickly.

But you had 3 big guys in your lineup; setting aside Murasakibara, that talent monster, how could the other two be faster than Kirisaki Daichi?

Kirisaki Daichi easily got a 5-on-3 opportunity in the frontcourt.

"I won't let you pass!" Tatsuya Himuro stuck to him immediately, aiming to drag Kirisaki Daichi into a half-court battle.

That was what they at Yosen were good at.

"Hmph." Tiandao snorted coldly and killed his way forward with the ball.

He saw him pat the ball to the left with his right hand; Tatsuya Himuro reacted immediately and shifted laterally one step.

But the moment he took that step, Tiandao's left hand swung out like lightning, and he broke through from left to right in one go.

"Solved!"

The overly fast dribbling and change of direction made Tatsuya Himuro only have time to shift his gaze.

Apart from that, he couldn't do anything and could only watch Tiandao sweep past him.

But Tatsuya Himuro thought he had succeeded; he saw his teammate Atsushi Murasakibara had already completed the retreat.

"In my memory, it seems we have always been playing basketball together, right, Atsushi? The first official appearance, the first internal scrimmage, the first practice match?"

Upon hearing this, Murasakibara's eyes revealed contemplation; he actually lost focus during the match.

"Still the same as always; now is not the time to lose focus."

Slap~

The basketball bounced off the ground and slammed into Tiandao's palm. But it was also at this moment that the ball was passed out by him and fell into the hands of Kazuya Hara, who was cutting in.

All of this happened almost simultaneously; Murasakibara couldn't even make a defensive move after reacting.

"Tian-zai!" Murasakibara was unhappy, his brows knitted into a ball.

"Don't look like you've been played by me." Tiandao walked past lightly. "Now is not the past; you should grow up too, Atsushi."

It was indeed time to grow up.

At Teikou, Murasakibara could play basketball without any worries.

He only needed to consider protecting the rebounds and sending the ball passed by his teammates into the hoop.

Other things, Tiandao and the others would help him complete.

Now his status was different.

"You are already the core of a team; don't throw tantrums like a child anymore."

"I'm not throwing a tantrum, and I'm not a child."

Then why are you so excited? You're feeling guilty, aren't you?

The people from Yosen were speechless, but now was not the time to consider this.

"When facing it for real, it's such a feeling."

Kenichi Okamura, that rough guy, sighed with his hands on his hips.

In the past, it was always them who made their opponents breathless; now the situation was reversed.

They even had to be careful with normal ball distribution.

"This disgusting thing, how can such a creature exist in this world?" Masako Araki stared fiercely at Makoto Hanamiya.

This bad boy caused physiological discomfort to the tomboy in every aspect.

Compared to him, even Murasakibara, that disobedient big child, became much cuter.

"Hmm?" Makoto Hanamiya seemed to be able to feel her malice, turned his head, and said to her, "A female coach? Are basketball head coaches in Akita Prefecture extinct? To actually let a woman be the head coach."

"Take my advice, hurry up and find a way to get married and then stay at home to teach your children. By the way, how old are you this year? Are you forty?"

Damn you, you big watermelon!

Masako Araki turned around to look for her bamboo sword, wanting to hack this evil, pus-leaking thing to death with one sword.

"Calm down, Coach!"

The Yosen players hurriedly held her back; if the head coach was expelled at the start, then what the hell were they supposed to play?
