Chapter 78

The best proof is that the quality of his pass this time was not that high; it almost flew into Shuzo Nijimura's face.

Shuzo Nijimura moved in advance when he saw Tiandao's first pass, which caused the quality of Tiandao's pass to drop.

"Dad..."

"Hmm, his tactical literacy is at a professional level."

Kagetora Aida was also amazed.

There are two biggest differences between professional players and amateur players.

One is physical fitness.

His daughter had already said just now that the child named Tiandao had amazing physical potential.

The other is tactical literacy.

Now it seems that there is no problem at all; Tiandao's developed brain has already helped him possess this quality in advance.

This means that as long as this child continues to walk on the path of basketball, his lowest floor will be a professional player.

Kotaro Hayama was in a terrible mood now; since entering junior high, he had never been so embarrassed.

He was blown out on both offense and defense, the kind where not even dregs were left.

Even facing Shuzo Nijimura last year, he hadn't been under such great pressure, and the situation on the court was still back and forth.

But today, facing this first-year student who might be his teammate in the future, he was given a harsh lesson.

At this moment, except for double-teaming, Yamagata really didn't know how to defend.

Kotaro Hayama did not have the ability to defend Tiandao one-on-one.

In this attack, Hayama again used a screen to break into the paint.

But before he could shoot, a nervous reminder came from his teammate behind him.

"Careful, Hayama!"

Almost at the same time, his instinct sent a level-12 alarm to Kotaro Hayama again.

This animal Tiandao had actually gotten rid of the screen and caught up so quickly.

Hayama even doubted whether his teammate's screen had any effect at all.

This was his, Kotaro Hayama's, dribbling and breakthrough speed, how did he chase back?

Helplessly, he could only retreat from the paint, almost being defended for 24 seconds, and finally assisted a teammate to hit a three-pointer.

It's just that the situation was getting worse and worse for them.

This shot had a lot of luck, it was shot with only 2 seconds left, completely throwing it blindly, whether it went in or not depended on luck.

A whistle blew.

With Kotaro Hayama and Yamagata having a huge headache, the first quarter ended.

The score was 26:14, and Yamagata trailed by 12 points in a single quarter.

This was the result of them trying their best to stop Teiko's several fast-break counterattacks; their pre-game deployment was not without effect.

It just wasn't much!

Tiandao exploded for 16 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, and 3 steals in a single quarter, a proper star-level performance.

Kozo Shirogane had not changed the team's rotation this year, because so far, no team had been able to force him to overwork his starters.

Often by the end of one quarter, Teiko had already established a sufficient advantage.

And...

The performance of their rotation was not much worse than the starters.

The second lineup coordinated by Akashi, with the assistance of Kuroko and Haizaki, had never dug a hole for the starters, and at worst could keep up with the opponent's score.

It must be said that the appearance of Tiandao made Teiko, which already had championship strength, even more foolproof.

Even, he also dug out Kuroko's potential in advance.

Teiko today, the road to the championship can be called flawless!

In the blink of an eye, the half-time game was over.

Teiko 58:32, still leading Yamagata Junior High by double digits.

Such dominance made other participating teams look extremely serious.

Although the game was not over yet, no one thought that Yamagata Junior High could make a comeback.

Their only hope of winning was for Kotaro Hayama to go on a killing spree in this game.

Now it was the other way around, they could only watch Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan go on a rampage with no way to stop him.

By the third quarter of the game.

Kozo Shirogane sent out the lineup he currently considered the most offensive.

Point guard Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, shooting guard Shintaro Midorima, small forward Daiki Aomine, power forward Shuzo Nijimura, center Atsushi Murasakibara.

This was the intention to close out the game in this quarter.

Tiandao and the others did not disappoint Kozo Shirogane, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, pulling the point difference to 25 points in one breath.

There are two reasons for this.

First, Yamagata Junior High had been suppressed for a whole half, their morale had long since fallen, and they couldn't see any hope of victory.

Second, the main players of Yamagata had almost not rested for a minute in this game, and these five people had been fighting since the start, and their physical strength could not keep up.

It's not that the head coach of Yamagata Junior High didn't want to change players, but the point difference was too large, and they didn't dare to change.

They were afraid that if they let the main players rest for a few minutes, the game would be blown out.

Teiko's fierce offensive made them suffocated, without even a chance to catch their breath.

So much so that when Teiko increased the offensive rhythm again in the third quarter, they couldn't stop it.

Kozo Shirogane replaced all the original first-string players to gain some presence.

With such a point difference, even if Teiko didn't score a single point for a quarter and just consumed time, Yamagata Junior High couldn't catch up.

But facing Yamagata Junior High, whose physical strength was already exhausted, would Teiko not score a single point?

Teiko's fans were already celebrating the victory in the stands, breaking into the final 8 of the national tournament.

The last time Teiko broke into the national tournament was last year...

The Luoshan of the junior high basketball world is just this arrogant.

However, even for such an arrogant Teiko, fans believed that this year's Teiko was qualified to compete for the best in Teiko's history.

Even in the years they won the championship, Teiko never possessed such dominance.

They made other participating teams feel desperate.

Even after defeating strong enemies like Kanzaki and Yamagata, Teiko didn't seem to have consumed much.

Who can you reason with about this?

The final score was fixed at 117:76, Teiko scored over 100 points again, consolidating its nickname of greatest firepower, and continuously did not let opponents score over 100 points. Not even 90 points.

"There is no suspense in this year's national tournament." Kagetora Aida left the court with his daughter after the game.

That Kotaro Hayama of Yamagata Junior High was already one of the best junior high players in the eyes of his old friend.

As a result, facing Teiko, only embarrassment remained.

Including the main rotation players, they were all first-year students.

This means that Teiko, which is already so strong this year, is not yet in their strongest state.

Next year, the year after, they will become even stronger.

That Teiko demon star can still improve; one cannot imagine how outstanding his future will be.

Thinking of this, Riko Aida suddenly felt that her junior high career had reached its finale.

The next day, the news of "Teiko crashes Gunma Prefecture's Fast Horses" reached the hands of people across the country.

As the national tournament reached this stage, every game could be called a focal battle.

Except for Teiko.

On the same day, except for Teiko maintaining its strength and winning by a large margin, the remaining few games were all decided in the last quarter, and even two overtime games were played.
