Break time between quarters.
When **Tendo Keigon** returned to the bench, someone actively gave up their seat for him.
His performance in the first quarter was truly incredibly sharp, integrating offense and defense, a proper "carry" performance.
Seeing that **Yoshizawa Fumiaki** was just like him, getting blown up by Tendo Keigon in a few moves, **Yamanaka Yuta** felt much happier.
People are like this.
As long as someone is suffering more than you, you suddenly feel that your suffering isn't so bad.
The happiness of ordinary people relies on comparison.
"Good playing, Tendo. Keep it up."
"Osu!"
Tendo Keigon took the towel handed by **Nijimura Shuuzo** and wiped his face.
To be honest, the basketball level of this world is a bit strong.
At least when he was in junior high in his past life, the opponents he met were not as good as the brats before him.
Of course, they haven't broken away from the category of middle school students; he played against these brats like a swimming dragon.
'Are the opponents too weak or is **Teiko** too strong?'
'Definitely Teiko is too strong, didn't you see the introduction? Kanagawa powerhouse.'
'11 points and 5 steals in a single quarter, the stats are a bit too exaggerated.'
'Damn it, let him act cool again!'
'Geniuses are inherently unreasonable, 2D geniuses are even more incomprehensible. My poor **Kuroko** can only watch the show from off the court.'
Tendo Keigon only opened the bullet comments when he was free.
Unsurprisingly, the bullet comment teachers were once again shocked by his performance.
Handsome appearance, super high stats, absolutely the dream type in the audience's mind.
It would be intolerable if such a character setting didn't become popular.
However, this level of stats is far from enough.
Tendo Keigon discovered this when he played one-on-one with **Aomine** a while ago.
Although he is stronger than Aomine, he is only stronger by a limited amount.
You must know, when Aomine enters his second year, his potential will explode completely, and his stats will increase exponentially.
That kind of exaggerated visual impact is the true beauty of numerical stats.
The current Tendo Keigon is at best a genius, still quite far from being a monster.
"Can only look forward to unlocking subsequent abilities," Tendo Keigon thought secretly.
...
The second quarter began.
Tendo Keigon rested on the bench.
**Shirogane Kozo** had strict requirements for player playing time.
They are all teenage kids; their physical fitness isn't enough to support full-game output.
Shirogane Kozo's most ideal playing time is for each player to only need to appear for 25 minutes.
Unless the game situation is anxious and they have to play the main force to death, he will strictly control the players' playing time.
He also has the confidence to do so; this year's Teiko has a deep enough bench.
In the second quarter, Shirogane Kozo swapped in **Akashi**, Aomine, **Midorima**, and the original First String starting center and small forward.
A bold substitution of five up, five down at once.
**Kawasaki Daifuzoku** felt underestimated.
Yoshizawa Fumiaki swore in his heart that he must beat Tendo Keigon back onto the court as soon as possible.
However, facing Teiko's second lineup, although scoring became easier, they couldn't win, simply couldn't win.
Without the two inside and outside defensive cores Tendo Keigon and **Murasakibara Atsushi**, the two top scorers on the team could both score.
But on the defensive end, the Kawasaki head coach found that Teiko's second lineup had even fiercer offensive firepower than the first lineup with Nijimura Shuuzo.
With Aomine Daiki charging in front and Midorima Shintaro providing fire support from outside the three-point line behind.
For a while, shrinking the defense didn't work, and not shrinking didn't work either.
That **Akashi Seijuro**, who looked ordinary and only had a rich family, could always find the defensive loopholes and pass the ball to the most suitable person.
In this quarter, Kawasaki Daifuzoku's offense warmed up somewhat, scoring 21 points in a single quarter, but Teiko scored even higher, getting 30 points in a single quarter.
58:31. In one half, Kawasaki Daifuzoku, aiming to dominate the country, was abused by Teiko by 27 points.
During the halftime break, the Kawasaki people's faces were full of frustration.
The strength gap is too big.
Big Teiko used two lineups in rotation, and both beat them into confusion.
When Aomine came off, his expression was excited; his single-quarter score was 4 points higher than Tendo Keigon's.
"I won, Tendo. I scored more than you!"
"As expected of you, Aomine. Really amazing, taking only 4 more shots than me to score 4 more points than me."
Tendo Keigon sneered, his sarcastic attitude overflowing in his words.
"Uh..." Aomine felt like he had been poked in the lung (hit where it hurts).
His scoring efficiency in the second quarter wasn't low; driving inside and shooting outside, he shot 66%.
But alas, most of Tendo Keigon's points came from counterattacks, and his shooting percentage in the first quarter was a terrifying 85%!
"Anyway, my score is higher. Isn't that what you said, basketball is a sport about who scores more points?" Aomine was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
Not as handsome as Tendo, grades not as good as Tendo, can't beat Tendo in a fight—he can accept all these.
Only basketball, he would rather die than admit defeat to Tendo!
"Look at you getting capable just abusing some scrubs. If you're not convinced, let's go one-on-one!"
"Scared of you? After the game finishes."
"Okay. If you lose, wash my smelly socks for a week!"
"...Wash then wash! If you lose, you have to wash mine too!"
Aomine obviously lacked confidence, but he agreed bracing himself.
Shirogane Kozo felt that these two stinking brats were a bit too arrogant. Talking about after the game when the game hadn't even finished—being so lax, could they achieve great things?
"Tendo, Aomine, run ten laps around the court immediately!"
"Ah?"
"Now?"
Tendo Keigon and Aomine were both dumbfounded. The game isn't even over yet, and we have to run as punishment again?
"So you also know the game isn't over."
"Since you know the game isn't over, what are you standing there for? If you don't finish running before the game ends, add another 10 laps for me. Now, immediately, right away, run!"
*Damn!*
"Nothing good ever happens when I run into this guy."
"I should be the one saying that!"
Tendo Keigon and Aomine turned around and went running.
Aomine felt a bit of pain in the balls because he had just finished playing a quarter. Being passionate about basketball, he didn't know what "going easy" meant, and wanting to beat Tendo, he had rushed a bit too fiercely just now.
He felt somewhat exhausted at this moment.
In contrast, Tendo Keigon had rested on the bench for a full quarter; his condition was much better than his.
"So slow, turtle. Continue jogging like this and eat dust behind my ass." Tendo Keigon hit him while he was down and accelerated forward.
Aomine couldn't stand this kind of provocation from Tendo Keigon the most, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
**Momoi Satsuki** covered her face speechlessly, "Two idiots!"
**Amanai Riko** was about the same, looking at Tendo Keigon teasing a teenage brat with a look reserved for childish ghosts.
"Shameless!"
