19- That's a Warning

The match continued with 3 minutes left on the clock and Tanaka subbed himself out of the game after he scored 30 points, 13 assists, 12 steals, and 3 rebounds, and let Hiruma take a try. the move he just showed.

"Do it good" Tanaka said as he passed by Hiruma.

"Kekeke, no problem" Hiruma smiled evilly and entered the court.

The score was 35- 102 when Hiruma entered and it was no problem for him to make a few mistakes in the few tries, he made 2 mistakes, and then finally he was able to grasp the playstyle.

Hiruma was a very observant person, he could analyze a person from its deep origins, and his observation was even above Tanaka's, and the moment he grasped the playstyle, he dominated the whole game.

He scored 27 points at the end of 3 minutes, it was really a villainous playstyle, but this playstyle also had a drawback, the reason why Tanaka left the game very early is because this playstyle easily tires out the player.

He needed to constantly run around and also predict his teammates, even as a perfect player like Tanaka, he won't be able to perfectly predict his teammates, he can't see the future, after all, there would be sometimes that the player would have a second thought or make an unpredictable move.

Hiruma walked back to the bench drenched in sweat, the game ended with their team winning, and this time more attention was put on them, if last time they caught the attention of some people this time, they caught too much attention.

Especially from other teams and became wary of them, Tanaka and the team said final goodbyes to the Ohashi team and were allowed to rest for 4 hours before their next match.

Tanaka and the group sat on the bleachers while waiting for their next match, the match up going after them was Yomi Middle School against Iwatobi Middle School, both schools are not well known but Iwatobi had a dark horse player named Hanamiya Makoto.

"He plays dirty, no, they all play dirty! are the referees blind or something?" Asahi commented.

"They are way too good at hiding their dirty play and That's normal to a game," Hiruma said.

"But it's too much, isn't it? the center of Yomi is all bruised" Sora said as he pointed at the center of the Yomi Middle School.

Iwatobi MIddle School play was centered to Hanamiya as the core of their team, he was the brain and also the one who was the most skilled, there was also another player named Shoichi Imayoshi, he was a good shooter and he was also shrewd and good at drawing fouls, but he had a bottom line.

"Well, if they really did something to any of you, I will break his leg" Tanaka commented nonchalantly, he was already experienced with breaking 3 people's legs.

The game ended with Iwatobi winning the match quite easily with their dirty playstyle, the Iwatobi was given a 2 hour rest for the next game, while Tanaka and the team went on towards the canteen and ate a little bit of food to replenish some energy.

After that they rested once again and finally made their way towards the court where Iwatobi Team is already warming up, Tanaka and the others are also set their things aside and also started warming.

Tanaka didn't say anything nor greet the Iwatobi team like he usually does, instead, he quietly stood with his teammates and sometimes shot some 3 points, his team was also strangely quiet that the audience saw them as the noisy team was confused.

"They are so quiet now"

"Did they have a fight or something?"

The audience was very confused, while the Iwatobi Middle School was smirking and mocking them.

"They became scared from our game and are scared? haha, such weaklings" one of them said and sneered, the others laughed along with them along with Hanamiya, except for one player, Shoichi, he felt danger coming off from the other team.

He had always trusted his intuition and will always trust it, "Makoto, I will stay out of the first quarter" he said.

Hanamiya looked at Shoichi with eyes furrowed but he still nodded, everyone in their team was under his control except for Shoichi since this guy was also a strategist of the team and was shrewder than him so he let it go.

The match started and the players greeted each other on the court, the winner of this match will go to the semi-finals of the brackets, and to everyone's surprise of the first quarter, Tanaka entered the court.

He was the point guard and his facing off against Hanamiya Makoto who had a smile on his face, "Nice to meet you" Hanamiya greeted.

Tanaka looked at him then said, "Touch my teammates, I will break your leg" Tanaka didn't say anything anymore and focused on the game, Haniya frowned and looked at Tanaka with disdain.

"What did you say, you bastard?" Hanamiya glared at Tanaka but only to be ignored, he gritted his teeth, 'Break my leg? let me see who's leg will be broken' he said on his mind before focusing on the game.

The tip-off started and the ball was tipped by Akagi and the ball fell into Sora's hands, Sora held the ball and once he was sure there was no one around him, he passed the ball to Tanaka.

Tanaka caught the ball and he immediately made a spin avoiding Hanamiya who was waiting behind him for the steal, Tanaka got passed Hanamiya but he stoped and made another sharp turn.

*Bam!

"Guh!" Hanamiya was sent tumbling down as Tanaka's elbow hit his face, he rolled on the ground from pain but the referee seemed to not have seen what happened and the game continued, Tanaka dribbled the ball and immediately passed it to Akagi who was under the post with a bounce pass and he easily scored with raw power.

Tanaka passed by Hanamiya with a glance then said, "That's a warning"

Hanamiya was helped by his teammates to stand up but a bruise could be seen on his face, he was glaring at Tanaka hatefully, the game continued and the ball was on Hanamiya's hand.
