NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

"Ding! Now issuing the task: Win the team practice match, defeat the seniors, and be rewarded with a random attribute point +2."

As expected, the basketball data panel (intermediate) of Huadao released a task, but the reward was not selected by oneself, but random attribute points.

If you add height and wingspan, you will make a profit. As Coach Tiangang said, skills can be trained, physical fitness can be trained, and even speed and footwork can be acquired through training, but only height and wingspan are innate. This sentence also applies in the NBA.

Soon the first graders changed into yellow training uniforms, while the second and third graders changed into red.

新生队首发出场的是花道（191.5cm）、流川枫（187cm）、石井太郎（172cm）、田冈政（180cm）、铃木健（165cm），至于替补人员则是桑田次郎（162cm）。

老生队首发出场赤木刚宪（197cm）、木暮公延（178cm）、安田靖春（165cm）、角田悟（180cm）、潮崎哲士（170cm），没有替补。

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

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

Hanamichi retorted: "Hmph, be careful not to lose to me accidentally, Captain!"

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

When they reached the highest point and were about to descend, Hanamichi and Akagi saw the opportunity and jumped up at the same time.

But it was obvious that Hanamichi's jumping speed and bounce were better than Akagi's. He approached the basketball faster than Akagi, and with an advantage of being one-third of a palm higher than Akagi, he first hit the ball to Rukawa's position on the side.

Although he kept shouting "stinky fox, stinky fox", Hanamichi still trusted Rukawa's abilities.

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

"The captain actually lost the jump ball?"

Yasuda couldn't believe it.

"This guy Sakuragi Hanamichi jumps really high!"

Mu Mu Gongyan said secretly in his heart.

Inoue Ayako was carefully recording and analyzing the data next to Coach Anzai:

"Captain Akagi is 197cm tall, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is 191.5cm tall. Hanamichi is a little taller than Akagi, so he was able to jump the ball successfully. That means his jumping ability must be at least 7cm higher than Akagi."

Coach Anxi, holding a cup of tea, sat beside the court like a mascot, "Oh wow wow wow..."

Seeing everyone making a fuss, Rukawa Kaede leaped high with all his strength. His amazing bounce and the stretching action of raising fire to the sky attracted everyone's attention. Without Akagi's defense, Rukawa Kaede's fast break was basically unstoppable. He dunked with one arm and scored the first 2 points.

"Ah..." x3

"As expected, they're here! The stinky fox's personal guards..." Hanamichi looked like he had a headache.

Akagi Takenori was standing in the corner serving the ball, looking at Rukawa and Hanamichi. They were obviously reliable teammates, but now they were giving him a headache, as both of them were quite difficult to deal with.

Yasuda held the ball and slowly moved it across the court, waiting for Akagi to get into position before passing the ball to Akagi. This was a positional tactic that Xiangbei used to use in the past. Its purpose was to better utilize Akagi's personal strength, but the flaws were also obvious. Once the opponent saw through the core of this tactic, they would constantly make substitutions to consume Akagi's physical strength, or double-team Akagi and cut off his route to receive the ball. In this way, a "one-man team" like Xiangbei would collapse.

At the moment, Rukawa Kaede did just that, ambushing near the passing route in advance. Although Yasuda had tried his best to pass the ball high to Akagi, he did not expect that besides Hanamichi, there was another person who could jump so well, and that was Rukawa Kaede.

He stole the ball, then dribbled quickly towards the opponent's basket, and seeing this, Hanamichi and Akagi quickly ran from the basket to the opposite basket. The difference was that Akagi went to chase and defend, while Hanamichi went to support Rukawa. Regardless of whether he passed the ball or not, he could at least attract half of Akagi's attention.

Because of dribbling, Hanamichi and Akagi, who were running at full speed, gradually surpassed Rukawa, and Hanamichi even entered the penalty area first.

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

Hanamichi looked at Rukawa Kaede, who was staring at the basket with nothing else in his eyes, and thought secretly in his heart.

Akagi seemed to understand Rukawa's idea. When Rukawa jumped up to prepare for another dunk, Akagi seized the opportunity to jump vertically and made a super block, blocking the ball in Rukawa's hand.

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

The basketball was blocked by Akagi and fell into the hands of Kogure Konosuba.

Seeing this, Caizi said happily:

"As expected of Akagi-senpai, it looks like 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 senior class when he led the first grade. What's more, there is Hanamichi among the first graders who has not yet shown his strength."

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

Back to the game, after receiving the blocked pass from Akagi, Murasakibara passed the ball from a distance to Yasuda who had not yet returned to defense in the frontcourt.

Yasuda scored 2 points with a layup.

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

The baseline ball was sent by Hanamichi to Taro Ishii, who passed it to Rukawa near the center line. At this time, the senior players had returned to their own court and stood firmly in their positions. Looking at Rukawa who was holding the ball, they showed solemn expressions, some of which were serious, some were solemn, and some were fearful.

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

When Rukawa saw Hanamichi in position, he suddenly dribbled towards the three-point line from the other side, broke through Murasakibara's defense with his speed and rushed towards the penalty area.

Seeing this, Akagi didn't care about Hanamichi's timely defense. Unexpectedly, Rukawa kept his eyes on the basket and made a ground pass without looking at anyone, and the basketball was passed to Hanamichi.

Hanamichi, who thought Rukawa couldn't pass the ball, was also surprised when he received the ball. After he came to his senses, he stood on the penalty area line and jumped up, using his legs, waist and abdomen, left hand to assist, right hand to support, and aimed at the basket.

Because Hanamichi was distracted for a moment, a little time was wasted.

At this time, Akagi had already jumped back to defense, and it looked like he was going to block Hanamichi's shot.

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

The score was 4:2, with the first-grade team taking the lead.

"How clever!"

Coach Anzai's 360-degree holographic titanium glasses lit up, and I couldn't tell whether he was praising Rukawa's clever pass-and-shoot style, or Hanamichi's clever passing, or both.
