If Hanamichi, who was high-fiving Das at the time, knew Jackson's thoughts, he would kindly tell him:

"Give up, Ray! The NBA is too deep for you to handle..."

The commentator on the scene also praised the cooperation between Das and Hanamichi.

"This was a well-planned counterattack at the start. The Wildcats' star player Damon Stoudemire's wonderful pass and fast break were like a precise scalpel, tearing Michigan's tiger skin at the beginning!"

"But it is worth mentioning that the one who completed this cooperation was an international student from the flower-growing country~ Hua Dao, and his teammates all called him Flower. Now it seems that Flower, who has amazing bounce, reaction, height and wingspan, may be a flower with thorns!"

"Next is the University of Michigan's offensive round. Let's see if this group of [Spartans] can play their tactics!"

(The nickname of the NCAA Division I sports team of the University of Michigan is "Spartans")

Jimmy King controlled the ball. He was 196cm tall and was able to play his advantage when facing the 178cm Das on the offensive end.

He just made a gesture, and then the other four kept covering each other and running on the court.

And in the running, there were interspersed inside and outside lines.

Active off-ball running and mutual coordination are the style of the Michigan University Spartans!

Jimmy King seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Ray Jackson who ran out of space in the mid-range.

Jackson also did not shoot in an open position after receiving the ball.

Instead, he broke through with the cover of his own power forward and went to the restricted area to get up and layup.

When Hanamichi was tripped by the opponent, he was careful and watched Jackson running towards his basket. He turned around and chased him.

When Jackson jumped up and layup, he suddenly felt black on his head.

Then... the basketball he just shot was blocked out of the sideline!

Hanamichi was so excited that this was the first time he blocked a player in the NCAA [March Madness] and he couldn't help but roared loudly!

In [March Madness], generally speaking, a solid block or a violent dunk is often the most effective way to mobilize the atmosphere of the audience.

The effect of Flower's block shot was even better than the aerial relay dunk at the beginning!

Seeing the heated atmosphere, the commentator did not forget to add fuel to the fire:

"Oh! Our [Spartans] are in trouble! They seem to be shocked by the attack and defense of the red-haired Flower!"

Jackson, who was already angry and had been a background board twice in a row, was even more furious at this time.

He shouted at Jimmy King who was serving the ball on the sideline:

"Pass the damn ball to me, I want to shoot one by one from the head of this red-haired man!"

Ray Jackson was one of the "Five Tigers of Michigan" after all.

He also played in the NCAA for four consecutive years in college, so of course he was not as impulsive as imagined.

His angry speech just now was also half true and half false, and there was a component of deliberately angering Flower.

Because he knew that it was much easier to deal with a person who was blinded by anger!

At the same time, Jackson also realized:

"This red-haired player with good running and jumping skills is really troublesome!"

After receiving the ball again, Jackson did not attack recklessly.

Instead, he winked at his inside player, used his speed to pass the defense of his opponent, and rushed directly to the penalty area.

In the eyes of the audience and Hanamichi, Jackson was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and challenged the inside of the Arizona Wildcats again!

This is exactly what Jackson wanted.

He watched Hanamichi come forward to make up for the defense, and after attracting Hanamichi's footsteps to move.

He suddenly passed the ball to Bill Jones, his teammate behind Hanamichi near the baseline.

"A beautiful pass, it seems that Jackson is not blinded by anger, and Jones can just lay up easily next...eh?"

The commentator at the scene had already opened champagne at halftime to celebrate the University of Michigan's first goal.

Unexpectedly, the words of praise that followed were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he was choked and couldn't finish his commentary for a while...

The culprit who interfered with the Spartans' goal was Hanamichi.

Hanamichi realized this carefully designed scam the moment Jackson passed the ball!

"That's right, if the opponents were all those guys with muscles in their brains! That would disappoint me~"

It was said in a split second, and Hanamichi exerted force with his heels.

A reaction force from the court floor acted on him, stopping his forward steps.

Then he turned around and headed towardsJones, who was near the baseline behind him, ran to him!

After Jones received the ball, he dribbled past Paul, the center of the Wildcats, and when he made a layup, he was slapped away by the defensive Hanamichi!

At the critical moment, the referee had to save face!

"Beep~beep! Interference, the goal counts."

"Wow! It was actually interference."

"What a pity, such a beautiful block!"

"That red-haired guy is really amazing, with a strong presence on the defensive end!"

The audience on the sidelines were talking about it, and even Chris Webber, who was watching the game, felt that the red-haired boy was much more pleasing to the eye.

At least the power forward of his own Kings team did not have such flexible footwork and bounce as Hanamichi!

You have to know that a fool who speaks unpleasantly and a person who speaks unpleasantly but has basketball skills give people completely different feelings.

Just like now, Webber still has not given up his hostility towards Hanamichi.

It's just that he likes Hanamichi a little bit, and it's just out of recognition of people with strength.

But it doesn't mean that Webber likes this red-haired boy!

The score was 2:2 at the start, and the audience thought that this was the beginning, and the two teams would have a fierce battle.

But when Das followed the instructions of Coach Olsen and used the "One Star Four Shoots" tactic in the first half.

Everyone realized that this was not a evenly matched game, but a massacre!

Hanamichi remembered his mission firmly and fully demonstrated what he knew in front of the 35,000 spectators and scouts.

Slam dunks, hard shots at the basket, rebounding positions, mid-range and long-range jump shots, hook shots at the basket, footwork at the basket, and layups against opposing players...

This is not over yet, he grabbed 9 rebounds, 4 blocks, and had a strong sense of help and defense in the first half.

It also made everyone realize that this big red-haired man from the mysterious other side of the ocean is not only powerful on the offensive end.

He also has considerable potential and energy on the defensive end!

Hanamichi's first appearance on the NCAA "March Madness" stage left a deep impression on everyone.
