beep……
The first quarter is over.
The players from both teams returned to their respective dugouts.
Seirin rest area.
After Kagami and the others returned, they sat on the bench to recover their strength.
Reiko Aida stood in front of the crowd and talked about the next arrangements.
"It's good enough to keep the score in single digits. We still have a chance. But..."
She set her sights on Kuroko.
"It's time to make a substitution, Kuroko. We are now behind, but it seems that it is impossible to find a way to revive you in a short period of time. In the second quarter, you should observe the situation carefully from the sidelines! Mitobe...you will replace Kuroko."
Mitobe Rinnosuke nodded silently.
Heizi clenched his fists. Although he was very unwilling, he had nothing to say now.
He nodded somewhat disappointedly.
"I see."
Seeing him like this, the God of Fire sitting next to him didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a moment, Kagami patted Kuroko on the back.
He used so much force that he almost knocked Heizi off the bench.
ah……
Heizi didn't know whether he was scared or hurt.
He looked at the God of Fire with a resentful look on his face.
But at this time the God of Fire said.
"Cheer up, Kuroko... We still need your pass to win! Try harder before you get discouraged!"
Hear what the God of Fire said.
Kuroko's little eyes were sparkling, as if he had seen a savior, and his face was full of a look of redemption.
However, Kagami's next words pushed Kuroko back into the abyss.
"Even though we let you play, we still managed to keep the score difference in single digits. If you were substituted off, maybe we could have ended the game in a tie, so just leave it to us!"
Forehead……
There was complete silence at the scene.
Kuroko was completely stunned at this moment.
The originally redeemed expression on his face was now extremely complicated.
If an expert on micro-expressions saw Kuroko's face at this moment, he would notice it.
Kuroko's expression at this moment is constantly changing at an extremely fast speed.
Hit, frustration, grievance, annoyance, negativity, decadence, silence, etc.
Countless expressions flashed across Kuroko's face, and finally returned to the look of being redeemed.
"I understand what you mean, but if possible, could you please say it more tactfully?"
Everyone in Seirin looked at Kagami with a frown on their faces.
Reiko Aida now wanted to punch Kagami on the head.
But he was worried that he might turn Vulcan into a fool and lose the game.
So she forced herself to be patient and didn't do anything.
Kuroko withdrew his gaze and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But... you're right. I will definitely come back to the court and win again."
I saw that Heizi had regained his spirits.
Everyone in Seirin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the same time.
Yi Yuejun spoke up.
"In the first quarter, we were all cooperating with you two in the game. Although we were behind in the score, we still had a chance of winning."
"But what about the opponent's No. 5? He can use the same ability as Kuroko."
Koganei Shinji reminded.
After hearing this, everyone fell into silence again.
After a long pause, Hinata Junpei spoke.
"Anyway, we don't have any choice, right?"
Muji Teppei said with a serious expression.
"We can only get used to it slowly during the game."
“That’s right.”
Reiko Aida interrupted.
"No matter whether the opponent can really use Kuroko's tricks or not, we must guard against them. You know, Luo Shan was once the top player in high school. Every one of their players is not simple, and..."
She glanced at Seirin and the others, then spoke.
"Our focus from now on is offense. Kagami will switch from offense to defense, and the offense will be handed over to the second graders. Is that ok?"
The God of Fire did not refuse.
This can be seen from the first quarter.
His defense is more cost-effective than his offense.
…
The other side.
Luoshan rest area.
Luo Shan's coach, Shirogane Eiji, stood in front of everyone and spoke.
"We have already figured out Seirin's strength, let's proceed according to the plan in the second quarter! Got it! Akashi..."
"yes……"
Akashi responded.
"Let's make Seirin feel the fear thoroughly from now on! Kotaro... Reio... Eikichi, you three will be responsible for scoring."
After saying this, Akashi turned his gaze to Dai Chihiro.
"You are responsible for passing the ball. Although the opponent's No. 5 has eagle eyes, his vision is limited and it will not have much impact on you."
Dai Qianxun tightened her shoelaces, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.
…
beep……
The whistle sounded.
The second quarter of the game officially begins.
Luo Shan quickly launched an attack.
Akashi dribbled the ball to midfield and was immediately blocked by Izuki Shun.
However, even with Izuki Shun, he was still unable to stop Akashi.
Akashi quickly came to the three-point line, focusing on Izuki Shun's defense.
Just as Izuki Shun was seriously preparing for Akashi's next breakthrough.
Akashi suddenly threw the ball towards a deserted place.
What?
Yi Yuejun's expression changed.
Was it a bad pass?
