Chapter 536

Kagami turned his gaze to Tiandao, his eyes burning.

Then, the game began.

Right from the start, Yosen showed people their absolute defense.

As one of the "Four Emperors" of Tokyo, Seirin's playstyle was already well known to fans.

They pursued speed, and their way of winning relied on offense.

This is the characteristic of a run-and-gun team: fast speed, fast scoring; once they get into a rhythm, they score however they want.

But today they faced a huge challenge.

Under Yosen's iron-wall defense, Seirin returned empty-handed in their first three attacks.

"So this is what it feels like when you actually face them."

Aida Riko frowned on the sidelines.

Kirisaki Daiichi had already shown people how to defeat Yosen in the National Tournament.

Speed up the game rhythm, play more counterattacks.

Yosen's 3 big men were famous for their positional play, having the tallest interior height in the country.

However, in terms of mobility, they were also the weakest among all the powerhouse teams.

Aida Riko didn't lack the thought of replicating Kirisaki Daiichi's success in this game.

At the beginning, they obtained shooting opportunities through fast passing and cutting.

But they were all defended by Yosen.

"Seirin's game rhythm is really fast."

"After all, with Kirisaki Daiichi as a reference, and being a team that pursues a fast rhythm itself, imitating Kirisaki Daiichi's playstyle is only natural."

Midorima watched the court.

If his Shutoku faced Yosen, they would probably make a similar choice.

The deterrent power of Yosen's three interior giants was full of pressure; playing positional basketball against them was equivalent to suicide.

But Midorima didn't fear Yosen's height, because Shutoku had the fiercest perimeter firepower in the country, perfectly avoiding Yosen's strong points.

Aida Riko racked her brains.

She did a simple calculation; the problem now in front of them was that the rebounds were being snatched away.

In a normal game, a team's shooting percentage is usually between 50 and 60 percent.

50 is the norm, 60 is enough to win, and once the shooting percentage rises to 70% or above, it's basically a big win.

However, in strong-versus-strong dialogues, the overall shooting percentage of both sides is generally hard to get very high.
