Smooth Sailing

During the two-minute break, Coach Oyama did not spend much time explaining or arranging tactics.

After all, everyone had performed very well in the first quarter, and their execution had been quite solid.

In short: they just needed to keep it up.

As for substitutions, while keeping Sugiyama Shota and Wu Yufei, the two key players, on the court, he rotated the other three positions, bringing on the more energetic Kishimoto Kazuki, Sanada Isamu, and Takeuchi Taiga.

It seemed that after observing the previous games, the three of them had also entered Coach Oyama's plans as important substitutes for the new season.

They might not get a shot at the starting lineup, but as key rotation players, they could still receive relatively steady playing time and even start when the regulars rested.

For them, that was already enough.

Beep—!!

Soon, the two-minute timeout ended, and after resting and adjusting, both teams returned to the court.

Once the referee confirmed everything was in order, he blew the whistle again, officially starting the second quarter.

The game continued, with Sendai Golden Bell in possession.

After receiving the inbound pass, Watt immediately advanced at an unhurried pace. It looked like they intended to keep grinding out a half-court battle against the Tokyo Team.

Wu Yufei was naturally happy to see that. After all, they had a powerhouse like Sugiyama Shota in the paint and had no fear of playing a half-court game with their opponents.

After steadily advancing into the frontcourt, Watt patiently organized his teammates' movements again, constantly pulling apart the Tokyo Team's defense.

After a stretch of patient probing, the Tokyo Team's defense finally began to falter.

Bang!!

The next moment, Watt spotted an opening. He first used a fake to shake Wu Yufei, then immediately fired a quick bounce pass
