Unrealistic. He wouldn't just sit there and take it. He would use his weight and strength advantage to hold you down and beat the shit out of you.

He's a basketball player though, only one tier above footballers who roll on the floor crying because the defender blew on him
I'd be more worried if a female basketball player picked a fight with me...

pretty jacked for a basketballer but then again the LN author is brimming with sports knowledge and knows how real life fights go down so what would i know

The premise for the scene is that the MC is fighting dishonorably.
The way it's depicted it looks like the bully is just a bad fighter, unable to respond to a basic kick, but you're supposed to think of it like a crotch shot, or throwing pocket sand.

... or like being kicked in the shins
that shit hurts because there's nothing there to protect them if you're not wearing shin guards or covered in pounds and pounds of fat

Is not, since Sakuta already had a dishonorable perception of that stud due the cuckquean bawling.
He is fighting the way is according on his perception.
And the execution is cringe but casualfags fellating this secuence as some masterpiece is funny and tedious. Like is their wet dream of how they wanted to get back, not at their bullies, but at the guy who just told them "you suck!" at PE one time.

I mean would you consider a kick to the shins to be a cheap shot? Bully was squared up and everything, but still became indignant over it.
I think many viewers became confused because the way the scene played out feels like the MC is just the better fighter, when the dialogue doesn't match that.

But the baller is the creep who spread rumors about the girl he liked being a whore because he caught her on top of not-him
If anything this is a supreme gentleman fantasy of "I'd totally use advanced combat techniques to defend the honor of m'lady" when in reality they're the ones who can't take rejection
