Chapter 95: Haizaki Appears
Baijin Kozo felt that he had lost some weight recently, and his hair was falling out more frequently.
He knew the reason; recently, the time he stayed up late had become longer and longer.
No way.
This year, too many geniuses emerged in the basketball club. Tiandao and the others' excellence was even beyond his expectations.
Through these few group stage matches, Baijin Kozo had already understood one thing.
Teikou's original starters couldn't suppress Tiandao Jingyan and the others, those first-years.
First-years taking over the team's starting positions was just a matter of time.
Baijin Kozo even felt that as long as the first-years could maintain this outstanding state in the round-robin, then in the National Tournament finals, Teikou's starting lineup would have to undergo a major blood transfusion.
In order to stimulate the talents of these children to the greatest extent, he had to work overtime every day, finding a set of tactics that could cash in on their talents.
Previously, there was only Nijimura Shuzo on the team. His work was relatively simple.
Aiming at Nijimura Shuzo's playing style, arranging high-post pick-and-roll tactics, while others ran to fixed positions according to tactics to open up space and wait for passes.
This was the tactic Teikou played the most last year.
This year is different.
There are too many players in the lineup who can hold the ball; besides Midorima and Murasakibara, Tiandao, Akashi, Aomine, and Nijimura all possess extremely strong ball-holding ability.
Simply put, one ball is not enough for Teikou to play with now.
If Tiandao only had outstanding defensive ability, it would be fine; he could be used like Murasakibara.
But he happened to possess extremely strong scoring ability, with stability higher than Midorima and explosive power higher than Aomine.
Baijin Kozo could certainly let Tiandao focus on defense, but that wasn't his style.
He hadn't forgotten his original intention, which was to cultivate the next generation.
Therefore, no matter what, they wouldn't give up cultivating Tiandao's ability on both ends of offense and defense.
The stage from junior high to high school is an important stage for a player's style to be finalized; if you always let a player be a blue-collar worker, then he might really only be able to be a blue-collar worker in the future.
"Still have to split them up to use."
After thinking for a long time, he still felt that he should temporarily put Akashi on the bench, letting him lead other backup players in the rotation stage to stabilize the situation, fully exerting and cultivating Akashi's leadership ability.
This was also a helpless thing; Nijimura Shuzo was the Teikou captain, he couldn't let the team captain lead the bench.
He could only sacrifice Akashi, whose attributes were relatively overlapping, and use more of the strong-attacking Tiandao, Midorima, and Aomine.
In this way, Teikou could ensure that there was at least one top commander on the court at all times.
"However, to fully exert Akashi's ability, he still needs to be paired with a strong attacker. Aomine and Midorima are both suitable."
Damn, this battle is too rich!
This old guy Baijin Kozo wanted to laugh more as he arranged the troops.
Others at most have a straight, a plane, a pair, at most four threes in their hands.
What about Teikou?
Four twos and a king bomb!
Can't lose, absolutely can't lose!
Nijimura Shuzo, Tiandao Jingyan, Akashi Seijuro, Aomine Daiki, Midorima Shintaro, Murasakibara Atsushi.
This is simply a six-star team.
Can you believe it? Players who could still start for the prestigious Teikou last year can only play as substitutes this year!
But Baijin Kozo's happiness wasn't over yet.
"Knock knock knock~~"
Just as Baijin Kozo was studying tactical playstyles, the office door was knocked on again.
Walking in was the team assistant coach, who brought Baijin Kozo a piece of "double happiness" good news.
"Mr. Baijin, I think you should come and take a look."
"What's wrong?"
"A new kid has come to the basketball club."
A kid?
Baijin Kozo put down the tactical board in his hand and followed his lackey to the gym.
Then he saw a slacker kid beating up his second-string disciples.
"What is this? Is this the only level you have?"
This person was Haizaki Shogo.
After deciding to mess with Tiandao during the day, he came to the basketball club in the afternoon.
At this moment, he hadn't dyed his hair black yet; he was still a gray-white hedgehog head, wearing a few earrings.
In front of him was Yamanaka Yuta, who was taught a lesson by Tiandao Jingyan when he joined the club.
This former Teikou substitute ace was currently kneeling on the floor, his face full of horror, and the people around him also had expressions of having seen a ghost.
What did they see?
Just now, in the ten minutes or so, no matter what movements Yamanaka Yuta made, Haizaki Shogo could learn them at a glance.
This perverted learning ability stunned everyone present.
But even more bizarre was that when he used Yamanaka Yuta's scoring methods, Yamanaka Yuta would either commit a turnover or airball when he used them afterward.
It was as if his skill pack had been stolen by Haizaki Shogo.
"What did you do to me?" Yamanaka Yuta asked in horror.
"Ah?" Haizaki Shogo lowered his head and smiled while touching his hair, "Don't worry, I just temporarily took away your ability, second-string senior."
'Damn, another one?'
'What kind of feng shui treasure land is Teikou? So many talents?'
'No, learned it just by looking at it?'
'Not even salted!'
At this moment, the bullet comments also boiled over.
Now that the Generation of Miracles' abilities hadn't fully awakened, Haizaki Shogo's talent was simply a superpower.
Learn it just by looking at it, I understand it and you can't understand it, what kind of logic is this?
'Damn, this anime is starting to get weird!'
'Brothers, this guy definitely ran over from the Prince of Tennis set next door.'
'The art style is weird, will this be the first villain of this work?'
Haizaki naturally couldn't see the bullet comments; he circled the court indifferently.
"I heard you were taught a very miserable lesson by Tiandao when you joined the club, right?"
"Where is that guy Tiandao?"
Coming for me?
Tiandao Jingyan touched his white hair, clearly remembering that he hadn't crossed paths with Haizaki.
"Looking for trouble?"
Tiandao Jingyan naturally had no reason to hide; since he had been named, how could he be a coward? ===== CHAPTER 97 =====
