Seeing that the opponent immediately returned the advantage they had just gained, Hinata looked at Miyaji. He didn't expect that the opponent's three-pointer was so accurate. He thought with a headache:

"As expected of Shutoku, the others besides Midorima should not be underestimated."

Izuki received the serve from his teammate and slowly dribbled the ball to Miyaji's front, looking for an opportunity to break through.

Since Midorima was promoted to Shutoku, the core of Shutoku has changed, and Ootsuki and Miyaji, the pair who once led Shutoku to defend the title of one of the three kings of Shutoku, gave up their main force.

However, as one of Shutoku's twin stars, although he did not show the momentum of defending to the death, it also made Yi Yue feel that no matter how he broke through, he would be intercepted by the opponent.

Yi Yue dribbled the ball expressionlessly while using Hawkeye to observe the positions of his teammates on the court.

At this moment, Itsuki suddenly discovered that Kuroko had gotten rid of Takao, his 'natural enemy', and appeared alone in the distance, reaching for the ball.

Miyaji, who originally felt that his defense was flawless, intentionally or unintentionally gave him the opportunity to pass the ball.

Although he understood that this was a trap and that the pass to Kuroko was a bait laid by the opponent, Izuki still chose to trust Kuroko rather than force a breakthrough.

Even if they lost this match, Kuroko could still accumulate some experience to break Takao's entanglement.

Seeing Itsuki pass the ball in Kuroko's direction, Miyaji smiled.

The fact was just as Itsuki expected. When he passed the ball, before the ball reached Kuroko's hands, Takao suddenly appeared in the passing route and snatched the basketball.

Kuroko was not surprised at all that Takao intercepted the ball. His expression didn't even change as he chased after Takao who was running towards his own basket after intercepting the ball.

However, all this was in vain. After Takao intercepted the basketball, he launched a fast break alone, leaving Seirin and his men no time to rush over to stop him.

Kagami and Midorima were also restraining each other, and neither had any intention of interfering in the duel between their teammates.

In this way, Gaowei easily shot the ball into the basket, but he was not too happy.

He believed that Kuroko must have understood that there was something wrong with being able to suddenly break away from him and ask for the ball, but he still did it. It seemed that he was preparing for something.

Gao Wei looked at Kuroko with some doubt, then said firmly:

"Although I don't know what you want to do, our abilities mean that we are not compatible. I will not let you do what you want."

Hearing Takao's words, Kuroko looked at Takao firmly and said, "I'm sorry, but I must win this game no matter what, so I won't fall here."

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other silently, and they saw in each other's eyes the determination to win this duel between the two.

Yiyue attacked with the ball again, and Miyaji's defense still had no flaws.

Faced with such a situation, Miyaji Izuki did not choose to pass the ball directly, but chose a method that he did not often use to break through.

I saw Yi Yue pushing his way forward with his back to Gong Chi, and then suddenly turned around as if to break through.

Miyaji was stunned by Izuki's back-moving move. Neither of them was a strong player, and they had never expected that the other would choose this way of attack.

But he reacted quickly and followed closely behind Yi Yue when he turned and broke through.

Itsuki was not surprised that Miyaji could respond quickly, and he never thought that he could get rid of the other party so easily.

The two were running quickly on the court, and suddenly Yi Yue's movements changed. He was clearly rushing towards the basket, but the basketball in his hand was thrown towards Hinata.

No one expected Itsuki's unexpected pass, but Hinata caught the pass and scored without hesitation.

After scoring, Hinata raised his fist and shouted, and celebrated by high-fiving Itsuki who was returning to defense.

Although the team has been training together for such a long time and the cooperation between them is very good, the level of tacit understanding is still the best between Hinata and Itsuki, who have known each other for many years and trained together all the year round.

Even unlike Kagami and Kuroko, a pair formed by strength, the two sometimes only need a glance to understand each other's thoughts.

Although they were caught off guard by the cooperation of Itsuki and the others, Shutoku and his men did not take it too seriously. After all, without Kagami and Midorima intervening, Kuroko was Seirin's biggest weakness at this moment.

He didn't play much of a role on the defensive end, and his offensive role was restrained by Takao, so Shutoku didn't have to worry about falling behind for the time being.

The fact was just as Shutoku and the others thought. After receiving the pass, Takao still easily broke through Kuroko, and then scored with the advantage of 'one more person'.

Seeing that Seirin was slowly falling into a disadvantage, Kagami still had no intention of intervening.

Midorima was a little surprised that Kagami could hold his composure so well, and asked in astonishment: "Aren't you going to intervene? If this continues, the score will slowly widen."

After listening to this, Kagami looked at Kuroko who was active on both offense and defense, gritted his teeth and said: "That's not necessarily true. I believe he will find a way to break the deadlock."

After hearing Kagami's answer, Midorima did not refute. He also understood that Kuroko could not remain indifferent to this situation, but he did not seek help from his teammates, which meant that he might have a way to deal with it.

But Midorima also believed in Takao, and since he had the advantage, he would not let Kuroko take it away easily.

In this way, the first quarter of the game passed without any incident.

Seirin slowly scored points with the tacit cooperation between Itsuki and Hinata during the attack, while Shutoku took full advantage of Kuroko's weakness to gain an advantage.

Kuroko was also unusually active in this quarter. Whenever Itsuki didn't have a good offensive opportunity, he would take the initiative to reach out for the ball. Although he was always intercepted by Takao, he did not change.

This abnormal behavior did not make Itsuki give up on him. He would even pass the ball to Kuroko directly whenever he reached out for the ball.

He believed that Kuroko's behavior was not out of anger after losing to Takao, but an effort to break the deadlock.
