Chapter 43: Baijin Kozo subbed in Akashi, Aomine, Midorima, and the original First String's starting center and small forward
A bold substitution of five players at once.
Kawasaki Dai felt they were being looked down upon.
Yoshizawa Ayumi swore in his heart that he must get Tiandao Jingyan back on the court as soon as possible.
As a result, facing Teikou's second lineup, although their scoring became easier, they still couldn't win.
Without the two internal and external defensive cores of Tiandao Jingyan and Murasakibara Atsushi, both of their team's top two scorers were able to score.
But on the defensive end, the Kawasaki head coach discovered that Teikou's second lineup had more ferocious offensive firepower than the first lineup that had Nijimura Shuzo.
With Aomine Daiki charging into the fray and Midorima Shintaro providing firepower support from outside the three-point line.
For a time, they didn't know whether to collapse their defense or not.
Akashi Seijuro, who looked ordinary and was just very rich, could always find their defensive loopholes and pass the ball to the most suitable person.
In this quarter, Kawasaki Dai's offense warmed up a bit, scoring 21 points in the quarter, but Teikou scored even more, getting 30 points in the quarter.
58:31, in one half, Kawasaki Dai, who aimed to dominate the country, was bullied by Teikou by 27 points.
During halftime, the faces of the Kawasaki people were filled with frustration.
The gap in strength was too big.
So big that Teikou used two lineups to rotate and still beat them until they couldn't find north.
Aomine's expression was very excited when he came down; he scored 4 more points in the quarter than Tiandao Jingyan.
"I won, Tiandao, I scored more than you!"
"As expected of you, Aomine, really amazing, you only took 4 more shots than me and scored 4 more points."
Tiandao Jingyan sneered, his sarcastic attitude overflowing.
"Uh..." Aomine felt like he had been stabbed in the lungs.
His scoring efficiency in the second quarter wasn't low; he drove and shot, hitting 66% of his shots.
But Tiandao Jingyan scored most of his points through fast breaks, and his shooting percentage in the first quarter was a terrifying 85%!
"Anyway, I scored more than you. Didn't you say that basketball is a sport about who scores more?" Aomine was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
He could accept not being as handsome as Tiandao, not having as good grades as Tiandao, and not being able to win a fight against Tiandao.
But when it came to basketball, he would never admit defeat to Tiandao even if he died!
"Bullying a rookie and you're so proud, if you're not convinced, let's go one-on-one?"
"Afraid of you? Let's do it after the match." ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
