NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

"Ding! Now issuing tasks: Win the team practice match, defeat the seniors, and get a random attribute point +2."

As expected, Hanamichi's basketball data panel (intermediate) issued a task, but the reward was not selected by himself, but a random attribute point.

If it was added to the height and arm span, it would be a profit. As Coach Tanoka said, skills can be trained, physical fitness can be trained, and even speed and footwork can be obtained through acquired training, while only height and arm span are innate. This sentence also applies to the NBA.

Soon the first grade changed into yellow training clothes, and the second and third grades changed into red.

The starting lineup of the freshman team was Hanamichi (191.5cm), Rukawa Kaede (187cm), Ishii Taro (172cm), Tanoka Masa (180cm), Suzuki Ken (165cm), and the substitute was Kuwata Jiro (162cm).

The starting lineup of the senior team was Akagi Takenori (197cm), Kogure Konobu (178cm), Yasuharu Yasuda (165cm), Kakuda Satoru (180cm), and Shiozaki Tetsushi (170cm), with no substitutes.

The jump ball was undoubtedly a duel between Hanamichi and Akagi.

In the preparatory jump ball, Akagi confidently said to Hanamichi: "Don't be polite, just come on, Hanamichi!"

Haamichi retorted: "Hmph, be careful not to lose to me accidentally, captain!"

"Beep!" As the referee whistled, the basketball was thrown high into the air.

When reaching the highest point and preparing to descend, Hanamichi and Akagi saw the opportunity and jumped at the same time.

But it was obvious that Hanamichi's bounce speed and jumping power were better than Akagi. He approached the basketball faster than Akagi, and took the lead in hitting the ball to Rukawa Kaede on the side with the advantage of being one-third of Akagi's palm higher.

Although he yelled "stinky fox, stinky fox", Hanamichi still trusted Rukawa's ability.

The seniors were surprised that Akagi lost the jump ball to Hanamichi.

"The captain lost the jump ball?"

Yasuda couldn't believe it.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, this guy, jumps really high!"

Mugure Konobu secretly said in his heart.

Inoue Ayako carefully recorded the data and analyzed it next to Coach Anzai:

"Captain Akagi's height is 197cm, Sakuragi Hanamichi's height is 191.5cm, and Hanamichi is a little taller than Akagi to succeed in the jump ball, which means that his jump must be at least 7cm higher than Akagi."

Coach Anzai held a cup of tea and sat next to the court like a mascot, "Oh ho ho ho..."

Seeing everyone making a fuss, Rukawa jumped up with all his strength. The amazing jump and the stretching action of holding fire to burn the sky attracted everyone's attention. Without Akagi's defense, Rukawa's fast break was basically unstoppable. He scored 2 points with a single-arm slam dunk.

"Ah..." ×3

"Sure enough, the stinky fox's personal guards..." Hanamichi looked headache.

Akagi Takenori stood in the bottom corner to serve the ball, looking at Rukawa and Hanamichi. They were obviously reliable teammates, but now they were quite a headache. Both of them were quite difficult.

Yasuda held the ball and slowly moved it across the court. After waiting for Akagi to get into position, he passed the ball to Akagi. This was the positional tactic that Xiangbei used to use in the past. The purpose was to better exert Akagi's personal strength, but the flaw was also obvious. Once the opponent saw through the core of this tactic, they would constantly change players to consume Akagi's physical strength, or double-team Akagi to cut off his receiving route. In this way, Xiangbei, a "one-man team", would fall apart without attacking.

At the moment, Rukawa is like this, lying in ambush near the passing route in advance. Although Yasuda has tried his best to lob the ball to Akagi, he did not expect that there is another person who can jump besides Hanamichi, and that is Rukawa.

Steal, then dribble quickly to the opponent's basket, and Hanamichi and Akagi see this and quickly run from the basket to the opposite basket. The difference is that Akagi is chasing and defending, while Hanamichi is supporting Rukawa. Whether he passes the ball or not, he can at least attract half of Akagi's attention.

Because of the dribbling, Hanamichi and Akagi, who are running at full speed, gradually surpass Rukawa, and Hanamichi enters the penalty area first.

"Sure enough, this stinky fox has no intention of passing the ball."

Hanamichi looked at Rukawa, who was staring at the basket, and there was no other eyes, thinking secretly in his heart.

Akagi seemed to understand Rukawa's idea. When Rukawa jumped up and prepared to dunk again, he saw the opportunity to jump vertically and made a super block to cover the ball in Rukawa's hand.

"It's still too early for you, Rukawa!"

The basketball was blocked by Akagi and fell into the hands of Kogure Konobu.Seeing this, Ayako said happily:

"As expected of Akagi-senpai, it seems that it will be very difficult for the first-year team to defeat the senior team this time!"

Haruko on the side was unhappy and pouted and said:

"There is a basketball master in the United States, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who defeated the seniors when he led the first-years. What's more, there is Hanamichi in the first-years who has not yet shown his strength."

Ayako pinched Haruko's cheek and said in agreement: "Yes, with these two in the first-years, Akagi-senpai will have a headache for a while, but our Xiangbei has become stronger."

Back to the game, after receiving Akagi's blocked pass, Mu Mu passed the ball to Yasuda who had not returned to defense in the frontcourt.

Yasuda scored 2 points with a layup.

It seems that except for Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, the rest of the first-years are no match for the seniors. This is no wonder, after all, the second-years have one more year of basketball experience.

The baseline ball was sent by Hanamichi to Taro Ishii, who passed it to Rukawa near the midline. At this time, the senior players had returned to their own court and stood firm. Looking at Rukawa holding the ball, they showed a solemn look, some serious, some solemn, and some fearful.

Hanamichi took advantage of the situation and fell into the penalty area.

Seeing Hanamichi in position, Rukawa suddenly dribbled from the other side to the three-point line, directly breaking through Mugure's defense with speed and rushing to the penalty area.

Seeing this, Akagi didn't care about Hanamichi's timely defense. Unexpectedly, Rukawa's eyes were fixed on the basket, and he passed the basketball to Hanamichi without looking at anyone.

Hanamichi, who thought Rukawa couldn't pass the ball, was also surprised when he received the ball. After coming to his senses, he stood on the penalty area line and jumped up, exerting force with his legs, using his waist and abdomen, assisting with his left hand, supporting with his right hand, aiming at the basket.

And because Hanamichi was stunned for a while, he wasted a little time.

At this time, Akagi had already jumped back to defend, and it seemed that he was going to block Hanamichi's shot.

Seeing this, Hanamichi retracted his hands from shooting and gently passed the ball to Rukawa who was running to the basket on the opposite side. Rukawa took the ball and made a skillful three-step layup.

The score between the two sides was 4:2, and the freshman team was in the lead.

"How smart!"

Coach Anxi's 360-degree holographic titanium glasses lit up. I don't know if he was praising Rukawa's pass-catch-up play, or Hanamichi's pass, or both.
