Narrative:
During takeoff, the first officer's airspeed indication was 20 KIAS slower than the captain's and the standby indication. I selected the #1 air data computer (air data computer) and then corrected my airspeed indication. The captain entered the write-up and debriefed maintenance at ZZZ1. Maintenance found debris in the first officer's pitot tube.
