Daisuke x Taichi for the ship game? 👀
Oh, that's an interesting one! Young!me had quite a fondness for their relationship - which may have been influenced by the fact that they were one of the first ships (or "pairings", as we used to call it back then) I had ever found yaoi doujinshis about...
While I would say that their relationship was HEAVILY underutilized in 02 and onwards and that they should have been paralleled a lot more in a lot of situations... I like the way their senpai-kouhai dynamic is being played. Daisuke looks up to (and probably idolizes) Taichi in several aspects and it shows - from their shared love for football to him wearing goggles and putting tons of gel into his hair to imitate the floofy-cool style... From a platonic angle, Taichi may very well be the big sibling Daisuke would always have liked to have. From a more romantic angle, I'd be the first to claim that Daisuke's crush on Hikari is him trying very hard to compensate for the way it was actually the older Yagami who caused him all sorts of confusing feelings - and made him question his preferences very early on... Might have a bit of a one-sided crush (like a hurt puppy that would like to be pampered by the person he admires and adores), but that's what makes it so endearing to me.
Again, I believe there is a lot we haven't seen; judging by their individual development as they get older and as Daisuke grows more into his own person (indicated by the way he is NOT copying Taichi's hairstyle anymore in Kizuna onwards), I am sure Taichi could also take away a lot from Daisuke's never-ending positivity.

It was too much without Kiyoshi who plays the same position as him and who was, at the time, the strongest center in highschool.
With Kiyoshi, Seirin would have had a high chance at winning because, as Riko said in the same chapter, Shutoku's outside game was nothing special while it was a strong point of Seirin.
