Chapter 69: The seeds of fear planted by Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi in his heart were sprouting rapidly as the point gap widened

And once this Kanzaki Junior High captain fell into self-doubt and anxiety, Kanzaki Junior High was really not far from failure.

Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Lizi took the court again.

Now, the Kanzaki head coach couldn't sit still.

They hadn't been able to close the gap while Teiko's main players were resting, and now that the main players were back, the trouble would only be greater.

Before the match started, he knew it would be a bitter battle, but he really didn't expect his team to be trailing by so much, to be so far behind.

In an era with a slow pace, a 15-point gap is not a small number.

Not to mention that Kanzaki Junior High was a team that emphasized the combination of inside and outside, and it just so happened that Teiko's two strongest defensive players could perfectly match them.

Meeting Teiko in the first round of the National Tournament, they were simply unlucky.

However, what he didn't know was that other participating teams watching the game were secretly shocked at this moment.

Kanzaki Junior High wasn't an unknown name either; captain Kasamatsu Yukio was hailed as the best point guard in Kanagawa, and Kumamoto Iwa was also one of the four great centers in Kanagawa.

A solid top-8 national level combat force.

Yet they were beaten by Teiko until they had no power to fight back; just how strong is Teiko this year?

This was the first time Tian Dao had played with Hei Zi on the court.

The effect was so good that Bai Jin Coach Coach Baijin Coach Baijin Baijin Baijin Baijin Gengzao was pleasantly surprised.

Utilizing his extraordinary basketball IQ and off-ball movement, Tian Dao could always find an excellent position on the court.

As for Hei Zi, having heard the head coach’s arrangements, his gaze was always searching for the new ace of Di Guang, Tian Dao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan.

With a crisp "pop," just as Chi Si was passing to Zi Yuan in the paint, Hei Zi suddenly appeared in the passing lane, slapped the ball hard, and sent it to Tian Dao, who was cutting in on the other side.

At that moment, most of the attention from Shen Zhai Middle School was on Zi Yuan and Chi Si’s passing; facing this bizarre pass, they were completely unable to react.

"As expected of the number one support in the basketball world, look at how he feeds the ball."

Tian Dao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan caught the ball, took two steps, and soared into the air, stuffing the ball into the hoop with the posture of "lifting fire to burn the heavens," scoring his 16th point of the game.

It was overpowered.

Not just the other competing teams, but even Tian Dao felt that by letting Hei Zi successfully pass his tribulation early, Di Guang’s combat power now surpassed any team in the country.

"Nice shot, Tian Dao-kun." Hei Zi felt only satisfaction in his heart at this moment.

After his misdirection was complete, he had only one wish.

To deliver exquisite assists to Tian Dao on the court.

Today, he had finally gotten his wish.

Facing the fist Hei Zi extended, Tian Dao did not bump it.

The last person to bump fists with him, Qing Feng Dahui, later became a basketball madman; he did not want that to happen.

Hei Zi’s fist bump was just like Deng Ken’s head-patting—it had a certain magic to it.

Thus, under Hei Zi’s expectant gaze, Tian Dao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan reached out and slapped his hand, completing the fist bump in the form of a high-five.

Hei Zi scratched his head; he felt this way of celebrating was quite good, and Qing Feng was always very happy to bump fists with him...

However...

He had finally delivered a brilliant pass to Tian Dao. Looking at the hand that had just been slapped by Tian Dao, Hei Zi smiled gently...

In the spectator stands.

Bai Jin Yongzhi had come to watch the game in person today because the National Tournament was being held in Kyoto this year, and he only needed to drive for half an hour to reach the venue.

So, with curiosity in his heart, he blended into the stands, preparing to personally scout the players Di Guang had acquired.

Although his own scouts or assistant coaches had praised that little brat named Tian Dao highly, seeing is believing.

When he first saw Tian Dao score with a jump shot, his reaction was, "That kid’s shooting touch is good, just like the report said."

Scoring with a pull-up jump shot is very demanding on a player’s body coordination and balance, because everything happens in an instant.

If your balance and coordination are lacking, your pull-up shot will become slow and predictable.

Then, returning to the defensive end, when he faced Li Song Xingnan for the first time, he completed a steal in a way that even he found experienced.

Now, Bai Jin Yongzhi understood a little bit about how his average of 8.8 steals per game came about.

He had never seen it before!

Bai Jin Yongzhi had coached Luo Shan for so long and had never seen a player capable of completing a steal in such a way.

That cleanliness and decisiveness were like using the sharpest knife to cut tofu, giving one an inexplicable sense of beauty and shock.

He continued to observe, and the more he observed, the more he felt his heartbeat accelerating.

His assistant coach hadn't lied to him; this child was someone even he had nothing left to teach.

He was so all-around that Bai Jin Yongzhi couldn't help but think of the word "perfect."

"If we could get him..."

Luo Shan could at least win two more National Tournament championships.

Because besides Tian Dao, Bai Jin Yongzhi had three other new targets.

Shi Yuan Lingyang, Gen Wugu Yongji, and Ye Shan Xiaotailang—three proud sons of heaven from different teams.

They were the three chariots of Luo Shan in the future, the most capable generals in Chi Si’s hands.

Bai Jin Yongzhi had already made contact with these three, and the other parties were all very willing to play for Luo Shan.
