Chapter 86: Damn, the Cancer's Secret Is Exposed
During the timeout, the Musashino Junior High head coach was the same as always, crazily feeding his players chicken soup.
Struggle!
Effort!
Positivity!
This was his winning philosophy; only when every single person on the team was fully invested in the match were they a true wolf pack, otherwise they would become a group of another creature.
Huskies!
These worker-bee players of Musashino Junior High certainly wouldn't surrender so easily.
During their time at Musashino Junior High, resilience had long been injected into their blood.
It was just that facing a huge deficit, it was hard for them not to have some other thoughts in their hearts.
Especially seeing Tiandao Jingyan, a first-year, killing it in such a crucial match, leading the team forward alone, they couldn't help but think in this direction.
This had the same effect as Kagami Taiga in the future.
After witnessing true strength, under the influence of Aomine Daiki, he abandoned the team and attempted to carry the entire team forward alone, practicing individual heroism.
Tanaka Goro right now was thinking exactly that.
His mentality gradually became impatient during his many matchups with Tiandao Jingyan, and he was beaten into a daze.
He began to feel that patient ball movement was simply a waste of time.
So, as soon as the second quarter started, he decided to do it himself.
He held the ball and went one-on-one directly, not following the team's tactics of using frequent ball movement to find opportunities.
This made some high school head coaches who were originally interested in him couldn't help but shake their heads.
When you lose patience and start blindly playing one-on-one, you are not far from failure.
This kind of superstar play only belongs to superstars.
Is Tanaka Goro a superstar?
Obviously not; he could at most be considered a top student among ordinary players.
Wary of Tiandao Jingyan's steals, Tanaka Goro's shot this time was faster than any previous one.
He didn't even jump to the highest point before he threw the ball out without hesitation.
In mid-air, his eyes were fixed on the flying basketball, shouting wildly in his heart, "Go in!"
"Clang!"
Today, the Goddess of Luck wasn't on his side. This lucky shot of his could only hit the rim hard in the end.
Tiandao Jingyan rushed into the paint, leaped, and forcefully gathered the basketball into his pocket.
"Awesome, that's the fourth rebound, the triple-double is secure!"
He secretly laughed in his heart, but his body didn't delay for half a second, leading the team toward the half-court.
Akashi was already prepared to catch the ball and organize the next offensive.
But when he opened his hands, he found that Tiandao Jingyan had already "whooshed" past him.
He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
At this moment, the lineup on Teikou's court was Akashi, Midorima, Tiandao, Aomine, and Murasakibara.
All first-year freshmen.
But even so, they had already won Baijin Kozo's trust through the previous few matches.
Tiandao Jingyan had just stepped inside the three-point line when he was surrounded by Musashino Junior High.
His performance of killing gods and Buddhas in the first quarter had already made Musashino Junior High prioritize him above Nijimura Shuzo.
Although the Teikou captain was fierce, he didn't have such explosive output ability.
In a 10-minute single quarter, being able to score 16 points was not an ordinary role.
This time, facing the double-team in front of him, Tiandao Jingyan abandoned this "wide-open" opportunity and didn't shoot over the defenders.
His eyes looked to the right, but the ball was unexpectedly sent to Midorima at the left three-point line corner.
Four-eyes didn't miss this great opportunity, shooting a three-pointer in an empty environment and hitting it.
Assist +1, Tiandao Jingyan felt secretly refreshed, and even the way he looked at Midorima's glasses became much more pleasing.
This turret was too easy to use!
If he went to high school and the main storyline started, he would probably average 20+ assists!
It was a pity; he was destined not to team up with anyone from the Generation of Miracles, and the Generation of Miracles wouldn't agree to team up with him either.
"A beautiful no-look pass! Tiandao can not only score, but he can also help his teammates complete scores!"
"I feel like as long as the ball is in his hands, he has a way to send it into the hoop through various methods." ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
