First Victory

"Is this the future star Tokyo Thunder recruited at just eighteen? His dominance is plain for anyone to see."

After the first quarter ended, during the break, the Nagoya Hummingbirds coach looked at Wu Yufei chatting and laughing with his teammates across the court and could not help sighing.

But a sigh was a sigh. He would not simply give up on this game because of it.

Although today was merely a preseason scrimmage meant to test the lineup, and the outcome meant little to either side, getting brutally crushed without even putting up symbolic resistance would be far too embarrassing.

Therefore, the Nagoya Hummingbirds coach decisively made substitutions, taking off the interior duo whom Wu Yufei had turned into sieves in the first quarter and sending in the team's starting frontcourt pair.

In addition, Ito, the point guard who had been completely beaten into submission by Wu Yufei in the first quarter, was also taken off and replaced by Nishiguchi, another backup point guard who had spent several years with the Hummingbirds.

The Hummingbirds' starting point guard from last season had been traded away, so the new season's starter would actually be decided between Ito and Nishiguchi.

After the first quarter, Ito had already been thoroughly defeated. Now it was up to Nishiguchi.

However, on the other side, Coach Oyama in the Tokyo Thunder bench area also made several substitutions.

The first player taken off was Wu Yufei, who had performed best in the first quarter.

Since this was a scrimmage meant to observe the players, Coach Oyama had already seen more than enough from Wu Yufei in the first quarter. Naturally, there was no need for him to keep playing in the second.

Wu Yufei was more than happy with that and settled comfortably onto the bench.
