None of the Teiko first-years had the good habit of reading intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi had the habit of studying opponents, but he didn't like reading this kind of data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his words, \"I don't want to be influenced by these numbers in my brain's judgment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It fit his character very well; following the rules wasn't his style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aomine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Study? Why study? Satsuki, do less of this boring stuff in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even worse than Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi; he never studied opponents, just grabbed the ball and went for it, playing by feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akashi's reason was similar to Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's, \"Rather than using data to predict the opponent's actions, I prefer to adapt on the fly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midorima did read it, but this data wasn't of much use to the four-eyed guy; this guy absolutely refused to step inside the three-point line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if shooting a 2-pointer was a disrespect to the three-pointer, so he only remembered a tiny bit about the opponent's habits when defending the three-pointer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say about Murasakibara, a typical McGee-type player; everything below the brain was top-tier configuration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he didn't have to use his brain, he was a thumbs-up in everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So in the end, only our coaching staff and Nijimura analyzed this information properly?\" Shirogane Goro's liver ached with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of monsters and freaks were these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Pfft~ hilarious, none of them read it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Pity little Satsuki for a second, the hard-prepared intelligence was fed to the dogs.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They are too willful.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It should be confidence, absolute confidence in themselves.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Shirogane Goro was roaring, the real-world comments were giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi and the others' behavior fit the audience's impression of two-dimensional geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It highlights a sense of willfulness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Kuroko raised his hand weakly, \"Coach, I studied the information properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you understand it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't understand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"..........\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogane Goro's blood pressure began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn't understand it, why are you telling me? The audience burst into laughter again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One round into the game, Shirogane Goro couldn't sit still. This was a situation that wouldn't happen in the qualifiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is the difference between the qualifiers and the main tournament; you can't relax for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Nijimura Shuzo used Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's screen to break into the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His impact was very strong; generally, once he broke through, it was basically equivalent to a defensive failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumamoto Iwa hurriedly helped defend the basket, and Kasamatsu Yukio also lurked on the wing, ready to cut off the connection between Nijimura Shuzo and Murasakibara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Nijimura Shuzo didn't send the ball into the restricted area but threw it to Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi on the perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, there was only one defender standing in front of Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teiko's drive, run, and pass disrupted the enemy's tight defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi caught the ball and drove in one step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defender, wary of Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's reputation as Teiko's ace, hurriedly retreated, but saw Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi brake after only one step, while he himself had his center of gravity in the back due to excessive retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he stubbornly made a lunging defensive move, he could only watch helplessly as Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi threw the ball into the basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teiko's triangle offense achieved results the first time it was played in a match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, you almost caught my exhaust fumes.\" Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi dropped a piece of trash talk after scoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally wanted to say, \"Come on, you almost defended me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he found that this kind of trash talk was really mediocre and had been used to death, so he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something even more annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the opponent's number 3 was visibly turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasamatsu Yukio hurriedly went over to comfort him, \"Calm down, he just wants to provoke you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although he said that, a bad premonition arose in Kasamatsu Yukio's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they knew Teiko was their first opponent, in order to deal with Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi, Teiko's ace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had prepared many defensive tactics against Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's ball handling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He damn well wasn't handling the ball anymore; he was playing something very new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It instantly made their preparations go down the drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence they had worked so hard to collect and organize was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their intelligence was useless, but Satsuki's intelligence was very useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Satsuki's collection and analysis ability was much more advanced than the opponent's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi and the others didn't read it, but the coaching staff did, and they had arranged targeted defensive tactics in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumamoto Iwa worked hard to box out and ask for the ball after getting into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basketball is just like this; if you can't defend me, I don't need to change, I'll just beat you to death directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Teiko had made a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasamatsu Yukio dribbled across the half-court and found Teiko's defense shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what I wanted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasamatsu Yukio thought the same as his head coach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had encountered similar situations many times in the round-robin; no one could ignore a low-post killer like Kumamoto Iwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they gave up just because the opponent shrank, they were destined not to reach this step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who helped them reach this step was him, Kasamatsu Yukio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasamatsu Yukio, who was dribbling slowly to observe the situation, suddenly accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excellent explosive power allowed him to go from 0 to 80 instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost a replica of Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's previous offense: a stop-and-jump shot after driving one step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the animation, Kasamatsu Yukio was very good at stop-and-jump shots; this was proof of his excellent physical coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shot was completely in his best rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasamatsu Yukio felt he was in excellent form today; this shot was nine times out of ten going in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately, the screen went black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience following the show immediately realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the next second, a white light flashed across the pitch-black screen, like the light of dawn piercing the dark night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comments followed Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi's whisper and flooded the screen, with colorful \"Solution\" characters occupying the entire screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, with a \"bang,\" the basketball hit the floor hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Kasamatsu Yukio gathered the ball, Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi had already destroyed his ball first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the camera, Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi was facing away from the camera, his right arm horizontal in mid-air, cutting the basketball away as fast as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kasamatsu Yukio, facing the camera, was left with only an expression of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head with difficulty, and in a trance, he seemed to see a pitch-black monster face;
