Chapter 148: A center who dunks violently, and you tell us you're actually a shooter?!
The Ikemoto Commercial players stare blankly at Quanzhen Hall's No. 4, who is bombarding the basket amidst the cheers of the students who came to Quanzhen Hall.
Everyone's mind involuntarily recalls the coach's words just now.
'The opponent is a first-year, their strength is not worth worrying about.'
Everyone: "..."
Something's wrong!
This is definitely problematic, right?
"No problem."
"Just dunk like this in a while!"
Yukimiya Kazuma walks past the Ikemoto Commercial bench as if nothing happened, smiling and saying to Long Tian Zhang.
Ikemoto Commercial captain Nakato Shinji subconsciously swallows, then says to the center Kawabata Hiro-michi, who is about the same height as him, 193 cm: "This kid has something. Next, it's up to you."
Kawabata Hiro: "?" ===== CHAPTER 350 =====
"Wait..."
"How are you so sure he's a center?"
"Maybe he's a power forward?"
Nakato Shinji: "Cough, if he's a power forward, of course... of course I'll deal with him, I'll keep him completely out of the paint!"
"Inside players..."
"Aren't about who jumps higher!"
Kawabata Hiro is stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then says unyieldingly: "Tsk, better keep your word. If he's a center, I'll solve him myself!"
"But captain..."
"Don't forget Quanzhen Hall also has a No. 10 who is about the same height as No. 4."
"You can't handle No. 4, but No. 10 should be no problem, right?"
Nakato Shinji looks at Kawabata Hiro coldly and sneers: "I am the captain of Ikemoto Commercial!"
Kawabata Hiro: "Hmph!"
Ihara Masaaki looks at the two seniors arguing in the team with some difficulty, but doesn't dare to intervene, because the two have been like this all year regarding the captain's position.
However...
It's okay.
At least on the court, their coordination is very tacit; after all, they have always been an inside combination.
On the other side.
Kuriki Noboru walks up to Long Tian Zhang, who just passed the ball to Yukimiya, and asks about what just happened: "What happened just now? Why did Yukimiya suddenly start dunking before the game?"
Long Tian Zhang curls his lips: "Just coming over to talk trash and provoke, right!"
Long Tian Zhang: "Ah!?"
Kuriki Noboru, who didn't see it at all, is completely confused.
The game begins.
As Yukimiya Kazuma and others take the court, there is a very obvious discussion on the Ikemoto Commercial bench.
Coach Hikoyama mutters in a low voice:
"No training at the high school level, and no long-term lineup coordination..."
"How is this possible?"
"What are you thinking, Senior Kakita..."
"..."
"But no matter what, they are just a group of freshmen. Although that No. 4's physique is indeed unusual, high school basketball is not just a competition of physical ability."
In front of his players, although coach Hikoyama speaks decisively, he is actually hesitant in his heart, not knowing what kind of trick that old fox Kakita Yishi is playing.
Did he arrange any special tasks for these first-years?
Or some other trap?
What exactly is going on...
Hikoyama subconsciously looks toward Quanzhen Hall, only to see Kakita Yishi calmly discussing something with his assistant coach. His expression is very calm, without any sign of pretense.
This makes Hikoyama even more puzzled.
Where on earth do they get the confidence to send such a group of first-years up?
Hikoyama's gaze falls on Kakita Yishi. The latter seems to feel something, turns his head, and happens to meet Hikoyama's gaze. He smiles slightly and whispers to himself:
"Hikoyama~"
"Take a good look, the current Quanzhen Hall~"
Kakita Yishi's smile makes Hikoyama somewhat displeased.
On the court.
Ikemoto Commercial's Nakato Shinji and Kawabata Hiro are also very confused that Kuriki Noboru didn't really take the court, but their way of gathering intelligence has always been through mockery.
Immediately...
It starts like this.
"Where's that guy Kuriki Noboru?"
"Don't tell me he's scared and doesn't dare to play against us? Don't worry, our Ikemoto Commercial's inside line will go easy on him if we meet him. Call him up, bullying first-years is not our Ikemoto Commercial's style."
Yukimiya Kazuma rolls his eyes at the other party speechlessly. Although national high school teams are as numerous as carp crossing the river, he himself knows nothing about this Ikemoto Commercial team.
But for a level like the Generation of Miracles, shouldn't the intelligence be collected or respected?
What?
Is he, Yukimiya Kazuma, not worthy of being on the same level as the Generation of Miracles?
Or was the shock given to the high school basketball world by Rakuzan's three generals last year not enough?
Beep~!
With the whistle.
And the support of the Quanzhen Hall students on the scene.
The next second, the referee throws the ball high into the air.
Swish~!
Yukimiya Kazuma leaps up.
Kawabata Hiro sees the move of Quanzhen Hall's No. 4 in front of him, and a hint of joy appears on his face.
What is this...
The rhythm is completely wrong!
By the time the ball reaches its highest point, this kid should have already fallen to the ground.
Smooth.
Smooth.
An easy brat to deal with.
Then, Kawabata Hiro jumps up a step behind.
Just when he wants to slap the ball to Ikemoto Commercial's half-court like in previous games, Kawabata Hiro suddenly widens his eyes!
Because...
The brat with the arrogant white hair in front of him is still rising!
Kawabata Hiro: "!?"
The jumping ability during the dunk just now wasn't even his full strength?!
What kind of monster!
Slap~!
Yukimiya taps lightly in mid-air and passes the ball to He Xiuyang.
He Xiuyang advances quickly. The Ikemoto Commercial players, after the shock, are still well-trained and quickly organize a defense.
"Watch out for their inside line!"
Ihara Masaaki notices Tsuchiya Daiga's cut and immediately warns the inside line.
Nakato Shinji and Kawabata Hiro immediately watch the inside line strictly, but what makes them feel a bit strange is Quanzhen Hall's No. 4...
Are his movements too slow?
Is he taking a stroll?
And at this time, He Xiuyang habitually looks for Yukimiya Kazuma for the first ball, even though the latter is just slowly running to the vicinity of the three-point line.
But obviously.
Ikemoto Commercial determined Yukimiya Kazuma's center identity early on, and there is no one defending near the three-point line. Yukimiya catches the ball outside the three-point line, a normal shot!
The movement is smooth and beautiful. ===== CHAPTER 351 =====
