Chapter 164 - Ryuo vs. Tokiwadai, Part-Four (1/2)

The fourth quarter of the game went by quickly.

The already devastated Ryuo team, were was tired, had pilled up fouls and were blocked time and time again, then they had to face the combined onslaught of Shun and Sora's chaos strategy.

Ryuo Middle School would've given up if they didn't have Hayama Kotaro in their team.

Hayama Kotaro had the dignity of an Uncrowned King, and he was sure hell not giving up.

Hayama gave it his all to defend, and the rest of his team followed their ace to focus on defense.

But, alas Shun and Sora combined play made it difficult for the Ryuo to move in defense.

Excluding for Ryuo's power forward and center, who moved on the inside, the rest of Ryuo's team moved on the court like they were walking on eggshells.

They never knew when they would walk into a screen or move into the path of their own teammates.

Ryuo's shooting guard looked around in confusion and hesitation.

Ryuo's SG: ”What the hell is happening!”

His body hurt from running into screens.

Hayama looked around, he understood that Tokiwadai was doing something, but he didn't know how they were doing it.

He gazed at Shun, standing beside him and questioned in an even tone.

Hayama: ”This is your doing, right?”

Shun: ”Hmm, yeah.”

Hayama asked a question that plagued his mind.

Hayama: ”We never had a chance in the first place, did we?”

Shun shrugged his shoulders and answered.

Shun: ”Well, I didn't go into the game, thinking that my team would lose.

Anyone who does that has already lost.

But, yeah. I didn't think of going easy on you guys, making it fun, stuff like that.”

Hayam sighed as he looked down at the floor.

Hayama: ”Teiko is going to be tough, isn't it?”

Shun: ”If you play against Teiko, the game won't be like this.”

Hayama was surprised and asked.

Hayama: ”What do you mean?”

Shun sighed and spoke.

Shun: ”Your teammates were able to move against my teammates.

Your center was able to block our center because of his lack of skill, even though he lost in rebounds and defense.

Even though our power forward has an excellent defense, his offense is lacking. So once in a while, he misses shots.

Our small forward's offense is reliable, but his defense is lacking.

Our two first-years are also lacking in skill.”

Shun: ”Teiko's players don't have weaknesses that you guys can exploit.

Murasakibara Atsushi would crush you with pure power on both sides of the court.

Aomine Daiki would destroy your defense every time he gets the ball.

Midorima Shintaro is going to rain threes. He doesn't miss, so just think about the damage that would do.

Kise Ryota is an all-rounder, and he would break your spirits with his ability.

Lastly, Akashi Seijuro. You don't have to worry about him. He won't move if it isn't needed.

Which, I can't see happening.

I am quite tame compared to those guys.”

Shun didn't tell him about Kuroko because telling him wasn't going to do any good, with Akashi using Kuroko, he would make plays that would prolong Kuroko's time on the court.

Shun: ”The result of the game would be much worse.

Plus, with you on the team, they will be active in the game.”
