Beep—!!
Once the players returned to the court and quickly took their positions, the referee immediately blew the whistle again, signaling the game to resume.
"Let's go! Play steadily and score first!"
After receiving the inbound pass, Asakura Keiichi immediately slowed down the pace, directing the team to advance methodically toward the frontcourt.
Naturally, Toyotama did not want the pace of the game to slow down like this, so Noguchi Yuji immediately rushed at Asakura Keiichi, trying to force his opponent to speed up.
Whoosh...
Seeing this, Asakura Keiichi did not hold onto the ball. He decisively passed it to Kimura Tetsuya on the other side, who continued to bring it up steadily.
Toyotama's plan to force their opponents to speed up had failed. The game continued exactly as Miuradai wanted, settling into a structured half-court battle.
After arriving in the frontcourt and getting the ball again, Asakura Keiichi immediately began patiently directing his teammates' movement, constantly pulling apart Toyotama's defense.
At 11:25, after a series of patient cuts and movements, Toyotama's defense was finally torn open.
Bang!!
Asakura Keiichi did not waste the fleeting opportunity. With a decisive bounce pass, he got the ball to Ohno Kazuki in the paint.
Thump, thump, thump!!
After catching the ball, Ohno Kazuki immediately engaged in a powerful battle with Oe Tatsuya behind him. After backing down into the paint in just a few moves, he first faked left, successfully fooling his opponent, then spun around and rose up for a Quick Release.
Swish!!
Though he had only just entered the game, Ohno Kazuki showed that he was in excellent form. He calmly sank the shot, helping his team cut the deficit back to single digits.
The score was now 24:32.
"Offense!! Don't give them an opening!!"
