An Offense Completely Shut Down (2)

Especially Sento Zhang, Fujima Kenji's gaze fell on the figure on the court high-fiving his teammates.

This year's Sendoh had improved so dramatically compared to last year that it was like night and day. Whether it was his sense of rhythm when driving or his anticipation when passing, both had reached a terrifying level.

In a one-on-one matchup, Fujima Kenji thought to himself, he wasn't even completely confident he could reliably defeat him.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted to Ryonan's bench, settling on the red-haired boy who had remained seated all along.

And that guy, too!

Fujima Kenji recalled that during the previous timeout, it had been that boy named Chi Tong who arranged the tactics. After the timeout, Ryonan's offense had instantly become flawless. If he took the court in the second half and formed an inside-out combination with Sendoh...

At that thought, Fujima Kenji's heart sank. He looked up at the Ryonan players leaving the court, his eyes filled with an unprecedented wariness.

On the other side, Shohoku's players were also closely watching the situation on the court.

So this was Ryonan's strength?

Miyagi Ryota stared at the fierce game below, his eyes full of gravity.

As rivals in the same bracket, he naturally knew Jinjiuwu's strength. In the past, Shohoku probably wouldn't have stood a chance against Jinjiuwu. Yet seeing Ryonan suppress Jinjiuwu to this extent with his own eyes still sent a shock through him.

Mitsui Hisashi's expression was equally grave. He turned to Kogure Kiminobu beside him and asked, "How many points did you lose by in your practice game against Ryonan?"

Kogure Kiminobu froze for a moment, then recalled it.

Fifty points.

Fifty points!

Mitsui Hisashi quietly repeated the number. Just as he was about to say something, Kogure's next words interrupted him.
