The next afternoon, bored Hanamichi once again skipped the Japanese social studies (history) class and went to the basketball hall to practice basketball in advance.

This made the social studies teacher very angry, but he couldn't do anything about him.

I just don't know why this red-haired boy with excellent character and academic performance is so uninterested in Japanese sociology!

When Hanamichi changed his clothes and shoes and came to the gymnasium.

A black-haired man was already running on the court.

It was the offensive ghost Rukawa Kaede!

Rukawa Kaede was also slightly stunned when he saw Hanamichi pushing the door in.

But then he stopped dribbling and stared at Hanamichi.

Seeing this scene, how could Hanamichi not know what Rukawa Kaede was thinking, so he had to sigh and say:

"Come on, since I joined the Xiangbei basketball team and ran into you at this door on the first day, I knew there would be a duel today!"

Rukawa Kaede didn't say much, and said directly:

"Warm up!"

It seems that he doesn't want to take advantage of Hanamichi.

Seeing this, Hanamichi also took it seriously.

He quickly completed the warm-up exercises on the sidelines.

Then he took the ball and walked to Rukawa's half and said:

"Five balls! If you score, continue to attack. If you don't attack, defend and switch. How about that?"

Rukawa said calmly:

"Okay!"

Hanachi threw the ball to Rukawa and said:

"Then, you attack first!"

Rukawa did not refuse after receiving the ball. He started dribbling to adjust the rhythm and look for signs of breakthrough.

Hanamichi spoke casually:

"A one-on-one bullfight is not as meaningful as you think."

"I know there is a person in the next national competition who defeated Ryonan's Sendoh in a one-on-one bullfight, just like Sendoh defeated you before."

"But I can say responsibly that if it is a basketball game, you, Sendoh, and even I will not lose to that person. We are all at the same level!"

"Who is that person?"

Rukawa Kaede, who kept looking for a breakthrough position but was blocked by Hanamichi one by one, asked.

"The best high school student in Japan - Zebei Rongji!"

Rukawa Kaede was also stunned when he heard this name. At this moment, Hanamichi made a steal.

After successfully stealing the ball, Hanamichi took an offensive stance, facing Rukawa Kaede with his back, and gradually approached the basket with the suppression of strength.

Hanamichi continued while backing up:

"Sawakita Eiji was recognized as the best high school student in Japan last year. It is said that he believes that he has no rivals in the Japanese high school world. In order not to waste his talent, he decided to go to the United States for further studies after this year's national competition!"

Hanamichi felt that he was close to the free throw line and turned around quickly.

Originally, it would be the most appropriate to connect with a handsome jump shot at this time, but Hanamichi was not proficient in mid-range and long-range shots.

So after turning around, he could only take three steps with the ball and start the "explosive package" layup mode.

Rukawa was very calm. Seeing that he was being hit by Hanamichi's strange power and the potential energy of running, he retreated step by step, so that Hanamichi had enough space for layup.

He simply let go of the front and hindered Hanamichi's three-step layup speed from the side, while stretching his arms, ready to jump and block at any time.

It must be said that this is a very smart defensive method.

In short-distance defense under the basket, Rukawa's speed is not much less than Hanamichi.

Especially since he is on the off-ball defense side, he has an advantage in speed.

Under such a blockade, although Hanamichi has deformed Rukawa's defensive posture, he still sticks to him like a sticky candy.

Hanamichi doesn't dare to guarantee that he can make a layup directly.

As for the one-strength victory over ten-skill like Mori Shigehiro, although Hanamichi estimates that his strength is not much different from Mori Shigehiro, it also depends on who the opponent is? What defensive strategy is adopted!

With the current defensive method adopted by Rukawa, Hanamichi may be accidentally fouled.

In view of this, Hanamichi passed the basketball with both hands to the outside right hand in the last step of the three-step layup.

While holding Rukawa with his left hand, he scored the ball with a smooth hook!

Well, it has to be the special skill package, so delicious!

As Hanamichi continued to practice, he became more and more proficient in using the special skill package.

In terms of scoring, he has initially revealed his talent of "more skills are better than less"!

So he was even more drooling over the yellow skill pack that the system rewarded.

"Bullfighting one-on-one is a waste of my youth!"

Hanaichi thought to himself, and then continued to pick up the basketball.

But he did not launch the next round of attack, but spun the basketball with his right index finger and said:

"Ryukawa Kaede, I will also go to the United States!"

"But I will go after I graduate from high school, this is notIt's not because I think my potential and talent are not as good as Zebei Rongzhi!"

"It's because my body needs these few years to be polished, and the foundation also needs to be further consolidated!"

"I have always aimed at professional basketball, so I pay more attention to the news in the United States, especially the NBA."

"To be honest, what you need most now is not to satisfy your desire to win and improve your skills against the enemy by constantly defeating your opponents."

"It's to smoothly pass this last golden period of physical development and polish your body!"

"The small forwards and shooting guards of the American professional men's basketball NBA are generally around 195cm, while the power forwards are generally over 200cm, or even over 210cm."

"Although they are tall, their speed and strength far exceed those of us of the same age."

"We still have the last three years of puberty. Why do you think Coach Anxi asked the school to provide unlimited professional nutritious meals during this period?"

"In addition, I admit that your basketball skills are very mature, and you have even embarked on your own path. ”

“But like me, your basic qualities are still insufficient, and coupled with your immature physique, if you don’t further polish and settle, once you go to the US professional men’s basketball team, you will suffer a devastating dimensionality reduction blow!”

“As for why, I can only tell you so much, you can ask Coach Anxi for details.”

Speak of the devil, the devil appears!

Coach Anxi pushed the door open at this time.

Behind him followed a dozen campus workers, who carried heavy equipment and placed it in a corner of the court under the command of Coach Anxi.

Coach Anxi waved his hat to drive away the heat:

“Ah~ So you two are here! Come and help!”

He pointed his hat in the direction of the workers:

“These are all basketball training equipment provided by the school, which will help you further control your body and polish your foundation without overdrawing your physical potential.”

“Okay~ Dad! I’m coming! "

Hanamichi left in response. Anyway, he had said everything he could say. As for whether Rukawa would go to Coach Anzai to ask about the United States, it had nothing to do with him.

But when passing by Rukawa, Hanamichi remembered the upcoming final exam.

Thinking of the funny original plot, Hanamichi couldn't help but complain:

"By the way, sleepyhead! Excuse me, if you want to develop in the United States in the future, then first of all, your English level must be good enough."

After that, Hanamichi threw the basketball in his hand and said fluent English:

"You still have lots more to work on." (Prince of Tennis breaks in!)

Rukawa, who caught the ball, was confused!

Coach Anzai's glasses lit up, and he looked at the two people walking towards him and murmured:

"United States of America? "

Just like that, this duel was finally interrupted by Coach Anxi and the campus workers!

The whole afternoon, the basketball hall was filled with the sound of "ping-pong-clang" of equipment installation!

It seemed that this game had a bit of anticlimactic feeling.

As the number of people in the basketball hall increased, the installation of sports equipment also came to an end.

The Xiangbei basketball team began to train day after day, but starting from today, there was one more subject in the training.

That is, after completing daily training, two people were divided into groups according to their own strength. Under the care of the other party, they tried targeted training with sports equipment.

For example, Akagi was immediately fascinated by the bench press barbell for upper body strength training;

Mitsui played with the suspension training rope that helps balance training and physical training;

Miyagi pushed an unknown machine to assist shooting and was addicted to fixed-point mid-range shooting;

As for Rukawa, he followed Hanamichi and tied up the resistance band in a proper manner and began to carry out resistance-assisted training.

The entire Xiangbei is preparing for battle and quietly waiting for the arrival of the national competition.
