Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Accuracy Aside, It Was Really Handsome

Bullet comment teachers are frantically interpreting what **Tendo Keigon**'s "**Dismantle (Kai)**" actually means.

Most people, through **Shirogane Kozo**'s internal monologue, think it's related to Kendo.

While they were talking, the Second String's offense was thwarted again.

The Second String's spearhead, **Yamanaka Yuta**, was completely lost in Tendo Keigon's defense.

Consecutive offensive failures made the Second String members inevitably a bit restless.

If it were an official game, the coach would have called a timeout long ago to let the players calm down, but today is a club entry test, so there won't be any coaches helping.

So the Second String members didn't even have time to calm down.

As the boss leading the team to launch counterattacks, Tendo Keigon naturally became the first choice for passing in the rookie team.

Tendo Keigon wasn't modest either; upon receiving his teammate's ball, he rushed forward without a second word.

Yamanaka Yuta, having suffered continuously at Tendo Keigon's hands, was determined that even if he couldn't score, he couldn't let Tendo Keigon continue to act like a tyrant.

After all, he is a player known for his explosive power. Seeing the rookie team push a counterattack, he turned and chased immediately.

The two crossed the center line one after the other.

Facing Yamanaka Yuta's man-eating gaze, Tendo Keigon jumped just after crossing the free-throw line, making a layup motion with the momentum of "raising fire to burn the heavens."

Seeing this, Yamanaka Yuta tightened his leg muscles and jumped up with force.

His height is about the same as Tendo Keigon's, but his build is stronger.

Freshmen, whether in the league, junior high, or high school, are generally thinner and weaker.

On one hand, it's the age limit; on the other hand, they haven't received more professional training.

**Teiko**'s head coach Shirogane Kozo is a former national player. After retiring, he took the helm at Teiko with the aim of cultivating the younger generation and contributing to the development of Japanese basketball.

Therefore, he spares no effort in cultivating the basketball club's players. Anyone who stays at Teiko for a year will more or less put on muscle.

Basketball, after all, is a sport that emphasizes physical confrontation.

So, Yamanaka Yuta was very confident that his confrontation would definitely be able to knock Tendo Keigon off balance.

That previous time, it was just because he wasn't prepared that he suffered a silent loss.

However.

Just as Tendo Keigon was about to collide with his opponent, he slightly turned his body in mid-air to avoid Yamanaka Yuta.

Then, supporting the basketball, he gently flicked his fingertips at a distance from the rim.

The basketball smoothly avoided Yamanaka Yuta's "Five Finger Mountain" and went over his head.

*Swish!*

The basketball went through the net cleanly, without any sloppiness.

**Kubo Jun** unconsciously leaned closer to the court.

Jumping ability, touch, body coordination, this kind of aerial operation ability...

Seems a bit incredible!

Tendo Keigon isn't actually thin, just compared to Yamanaka Yuta who has undergone Shirogane Kozo's training, he appears somewhat thin.

But it doesn't matter.

Tendo Keigon was also quite thin in his past life, but in the amateur games he participated in and when playing with friends, he could always get high scores.

Because he had this finger roll as an attack method.

Possessing the soft touch characteristic of Asian players, he can flick the ball into the basket under difficult circumstances.

In this aspect, he is quite similar to the Spurs legend **George Gervin**.

The "Iceman" also appeared incredibly thin in the NBA, a league where fierce men walked everywhere.

But utilizing a fingertip roll that was unrivaled in the world and excellent body coordination, he could elegantly chop down various high scores among a pile of fierce men.

As a senior fan, Tendo Keigon inevitably imitated the attack methods of stars.

He didn't learn anything else, specifically staring at those elegant things to learn.

The Iceman's finger roll, **Kobe**'s fadeaway jumper, **McGrady**'s pull-up jumper, etc., this guy buried his head in practicing them all.

Accuracy aside, the posture was at least learned fully.

Damn handsome!

"Except for the **Generation of Miracles**, Teiko's other players don't seem like much." Tendo Keigon couldn't help but think this way after scoring.

Normal.

After all, the Generation of Miracles is known as a genius group rarely seen in ten years.

Geniuses, if they don't cause a dimensionality reduction strike against their peers or at least fight to a draw, do they have the nerve to be called geniuses?

Like those superstars who participated in the draft from high school later on.

Such as **Garnett**, **Kobe**, **James**, **Howard** (Magic Beast), and the like.

They all have one thing in common: they can all fight above their level!

High school competition intensity is low for them. Kobe could be blown up by scouts as an omnipotent magician, and a rough guy like Howard could be written as an all-around insider with decent shooting ability.

In the world of basketball, geniuses have never been reasonable creatures.

As an important role in the Second String, similar to an important sixth man rotation, Yamanaka Yuta is definitely a favorite in the minds of many head coaches.

But Tendo Keigon, as a rookie who just entered junior high, easily defeated him on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Kubo Jun on the sidelines was completely messed up.

He only came to observe **Nijimura Shuuzo** and **Murasakibara Atsushi**, never expecting to discover such a good seedling.

The key is that in his mind, there is absolutely no information about Tendo Keigon.

Like he popped out of a rock.

Once is luck, what about the second and third times?

It's hard to explain with luck.

Soon, this sensational practice match ended.

With Tendo Keigon's appearance, the Second String only scored a pitiful 4 points in the 10 minutes of the second half.

Under Tendo Keigon's leadership, the rookie team also successfully completed a reversal with 36:30.

In 10 minutes of playing time, Tendo Keigon scored a total of 10 points and 2 rebounds, but his steals were as high as 7.

When Yamanaka Yuta left the court, his head was delirious.

To actually be blown up by a first-year rookie until not even dregs remained.

How glorious the first 10 minutes were, how wretched the last 10 minutes became.

"Hard work, Yuta." Nijimura Shuuzo walked over with water to comfort his teammate, a smile on his lips.

"Don't laugh at me, Captain." Yamanaka Yuta looked dejected.

He felt like he was finished.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not laughing at you." Nijimura Shuuzo explained, "I just think it's really great that such a monster rookie came to Teiko and not other teams."

Teiko?

Ah, although he was just abused in the face by that hateful white-haired guy, they are teammates from now on!

The team got reinforced; is there any reason to be unhappy?

Looking up, seeing Tendo Keigon surrounded by teammates after leaving the court, his face written with confidence, his gloomy mood suddenly dissolved.

"Captain, can we dominate the country this year?!"

"Who knows." Nijimura Shuuzo smiled, his eyes not only looking at Tendo Keigon but also at a few other first-years.

On courts invisible to the camera, some guys also took a class of freshmen and overturned the Second String members.
