Ryonan's Rout (I)

Chi Tong continued at shooting guard, while Koshino played point guard. Chi Tong's distinctive presence was like a burning flame, especially eye-catching amid the crowd.

He stood before the bench. Unlike the captains of other teams, he neither high-fived his teammates to encourage them nor listened to the coach lay out tactics. Instead, he was the one issuing orders, his calm tone carrying unquestionable authority.
