NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Hanamichi, who stayed behind to practice as usual, had just completed his daily jump shot training and physical training.

Covered in the bright moonlight, Hanamichi walked on the way back to the dormitory.

"Hey! Flower, you finally came out!"

"I really admire you. You can still calm down and practice more even though the competition is about to start!"

The 178cm tall Dasi suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside the gymnasium.

After confirming that there were no other strange people or things in the bushes, Hanamichi said to Dasi:

"I'm used to it. It's a habit I developed in high school from practicing extra."

Das: “Haha, your high school coach was really strict!”

Hua Dao didn't intend to explain any more on this matter, and instead asked about what he was interested in!

"What about you, Captain! This is your last year in college, so I guess you'll sign up for the NBA draft after the game is over!"

"Of course. If it weren't for the NCAA championship, I wouldn't have stayed in college until my senior year."

"When I heard about the team's upcoming personnel movement during the holiday, I was already mentally prepared."

"Still, I was shocked when Coach Olsen first brought you to the team."

"After all~ you know! No one in your flower-growing family has ever successfully proved themselves!"

After saying that, he made a gesture of dribbling the ball, turning around and shooting, indicating that he was talking about basketball!

Hua Dao smiled, then pointed meaningfully at the brightest star in the sky and said:

"Since there's no one else, I'll be the first one!"

Dasi looked at the ambition of Hanamichi, which was something called "ambition"!

"Haha, our Arizona Twins really all have this thing!"

"From your training over the past month, I know it thoroughly."

"The next thing we have to do is to make a big splash in this year's March Madness!"

"As long as you, a [talented freak], are willing to give me your full support, we can win the NCAA championship trophy!"

"If I go all out, I'm afraid you, the captain, might miss out on the MVP trophy, okay?"

Hanamichi joked deliberately.

"Haha, as long as I have the championship trophy, that's enough for me."

"Besides, I'm a five-star potential basketball player rated by ESPN."

"On the contrary, you~ need MVP to make a name for yourself!"

"Tell me the truth, do you also want to participate in the NBA draft after March Madness is over?"

Hua Dao said earnestly: "Time waits for no one!"

Early the next morning, all the players of the University of Arizona Wildcats were ready to go.

We got on the bus and headed to Washington State University to start the first regular season game against the Huskies.

This "cat and dog battle" became Hanamichi's debut battle in the NCAA.

"Hey, Flower, listen!"

As they were about to arrive at Washington State University, Coach Olson on the bus said loudly to Hanamichi:

"The Huskies are extremely weak inside, so I ask you to fully unleash your offensive firepower in this game."

"Also, use your defensive skills to completely freeze the fangs of this annoying husky!"

"With your physical strength, I know you can do it!"

After saying that, without waiting for Hanamichi to reply, Olsen turned to Dasi and instructed:

"Damon, show your organizational skills and let Flower's debut shock the whole country!"

Dasi is also a person who likes to watch the fun and is not afraid of trouble. When he heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised:

"No problem, Sir!"

Huamichi looked at the excited coach and captain of his team. Although he was also tempted by the idea, he still analyzed it calmly:

"Coach, don't you want me to hide my strength? This is only the first game of the regular season!"

Dasi grabbed Hanamichi's shoulders and said before Coach Olsen could speak:

"Come on, this is the United States. All conspiracies and tricks will be defeated by real strength!"

"I've heard that you flower growers are overly cautious!"

"Dude, put away your caution!"

"Besides, what's the point of hiding your strength?"

"We were already the division champions before you came!"

Hanamichi suddenly understood what he said and then smiled.

He smiled maliciously:

"That's great! Let's give him a good beating."

The Washington State University Huskies are also a famous school with a long basketball history.

Most of the students in their school are either basketball fans or basketball players.

Therefore, other schools in the Pacific Ten Conference are not very willing to play away games against Washington State University.

There is no other reason...just the home atmosphere on the sidelines may suppress some teams and make them fail to perform at their best level.

But obviously, that doesn't include the Arizona Wildcats.

Noisy audience, targeted boos, hostile slogans...

All of this had no effect on the Wildcats.

Looking at Hanamichi who looked nonchalant and was warming up as usual.

Dasi, who originally wanted to speak to comfort his junior, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

After all, when he was a freshman, he was so nervous that he performed poorly at the Huskies' home court.

But when he saw Hanamichi's calm yet slightly excited face, Dasi felt that he had worried in vain.

This guy is born to deal with big scenes.

Finally, at the end of the warm-up, Dasi patted his open-minded junior on the shoulder and said:

"Flower, do you see those scouts and reporters in the stands?"

"You have to perform well in this game, understand!"

Huamichi followed Das's gaze and looked around at the scouts and reporters with cameras in the stands.

I took the good intentions of this senior seriously and said:

"Okay! I got it! Just watch me for a while."

Das nodded with satisfaction and gave his coach an OK look.

After all, this is Hanamichi's debut match. No matter how talented he is, Coach Olsen will be worried that he won't be able to perform well.

Haven’t you seen the “Flying Devil” from Wake Forest University, who didn’t score a single point in the first game of his freshman season?

In the locker room, Coach Olsen arranged the starting lineup according to the pre-game plan:

Center Paul (205cm);

Power forward Hanamichi (210cm);

Charles, small forward (194cm);

Shooting guard Von Thomas (187cm);

Point guard Damon Steidmaier (178cm).

Then, Coach Olsen began his routine pre-game encouragement session:

"Last year, you were the division champions."

"Before Flower came, in the two games between you and the Huskies, it took you 35 minutes and 32 minutes respectively to completely defeat them."

“This year, I’m only going to give you half the time.”

"After the first half, I want to see this game completely become garbage time!"

"All senior players must come down and rest! Do you understand?"

Olsen's voice got louder and louder, and even the locker room door couldn't block out his voice!

"understand!"

The Wildcats' starting five shouted in unison.

"set off!"

Olsen waved his hand and led the players into the field through the tunnel.

As the saying goes, "cats and dogs are enemies"!

When the Huskies and Wildcats players looked at each other on the court, it felt like enemies would always meet again.

"Haha, this game is going to be interesting! I must watch Damon carefully."

"I never thought that the first game of the division regular season would be a match between these two strong teams!"

"Damon is already a five-star high school student. I heard that the Huskies' power forward Ivan Bonn was a three-star potential player in the United States last year. As a sophomore this year, he is expected to break into the four-star category. This game will definitely be full of highlights!"

Reporters and scouts in the stands started discussing the situation as the players from both teams came on the court.

As for Hanamichi's unique red hair, it didn't attract much attention.

After all, this is the United States, a country with “simple folk customs”!
