Ryonan's Phantom Sixth Man Heads to Hiroshima (Part Three)

Xiangtian Yanyi frowned, a grave look entering her eyes.

"He's the leading scorer in the Osaka qualifiers. His three-pointers almost never miss. Worse, he deliberately fouls opposing aces hard enough to injure them and force them out, then wins the game. That's why they call him the Ace Killer. Everyone needs to be careful."

She spoke rapidly, her eyes bright, as though reciting a scouting report long since etched into her memory.
