NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

If Hanamichi, who was high-fiving Das at the moment, knew Jackson's thoughts, he would definitely tell him kindly:

"Give up, Brother Lei! The waters of the NBA are too deep for you to handle..."

The on-site commentator was full of praise for the cooperation between Das and Hanamichi.

"This was a carefully planned counterattack at the start. The Wildcats' star player Damon Stoudemire's brilliant passing and fast break were like a precise scalpel, tearing through Michigan's skin right at the start!"

"But it is worth mentioning that the one who completed this cooperation was a foreign student from the flower-growing family - Hanamichi. His teammates all call him Flower. Now it seems that Flower, who has amazing jumping ability, reaction speed, height and wingspan, may be a flower with thorns!"

"Next is Michigan University's offensive round. Let's see if these [Spartans] can execute their tactics!"

(The nickname of the University of Michigan's NCAA Division I sports teams is the "Spartans")

Jimmy King controlled the ball. With a height of 196cm, he was able to play to his strengths on the offensive end when facing the 178cm Das.

He just made a gesture, and then the other four people kept covering and running for each other on the court.

While running, there are also exchanges between inside and outside lines.

Active off-ball running and mutual coordination are the style of the University of Michigan Spartans!

Jimmy King seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Ray Jackson who was open in the mid-range.

The same can be said of Jackson. He did not have an open shot after catching the ball.

Instead, he broke through with the help of his own power forward's screen, came to the restricted area and made a layup directly.

When Hanamichi was tripped by his opponent, he was on guard. When he saw Jackson running towards the basket, he immediately turned around and chased after him.

When Jackson was halfway through his layup, he suddenly felt a black sensation on his head.

Then...the basketball that was just shot was blocked out of the sideline!

Hanamichi was so excited that this was his first time to get a block in the NCAA March Madness and he couldn't help but roar loudly!

In March Madness, generally speaking, a solid block or a violent slam dunk is often the best way to mobilize the atmosphere of the audience.

The effect of Hanamichi's block shot could even be said to be better than the aerial relay dunk that just opened the game!

Seeing the lively atmosphere, the commentator did not forget to add fuel to the fire:

"Oh! Our [Spartan] is in trouble! He seems to be shocked by the red-haired Flower's attack and defense!"

Jackson, who was already angry and had been used as a background board twice in a row, became even more furious.

He shouted to Jimmy King who was serving the ball from the sideline:

"Pass me the damn ball and I'm going to shoot them all over this red-head's head!"

Ray Jackson was once one of the "Michigan Five".

He also played in the NCAA for four consecutive years in college, so of course he didn't have as much excitement as one might imagine.

His angry remarks just now were half true and half false, with some intentional attempt to provoke Hanamichi.

Because he understood that it was much easier to deal with a person who was blinded by anger!

At the same time, Jackson has also realized:

"This red-haired guy who is good at running and jumping has really troublesome defensive abilities!"

After catching the ball again, Jackson did not attack recklessly.

Instead, he winked at his inside player, used his speed to bypass his opponent's defense, and rushed directly into the penalty area.

In the eyes of the audience and Hanamichi, Jackson was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and once again provoked the Arizona Wildcats' inside players!

This is exactly the effect Jackson wanted.

He watched Hanamichi come forward to provide reinforcements, and after attracting Hanamichi's footsteps to move.

Suddenly he passed the ball to his teammate Bill Jones, who was behind Hanamichi and near the baseline.

"Nice pass. It seems Jackson is not blinded by anger. All Jones needs to do next is make an easy layup... Eh?"

The commentators at the scene had already opened champagne at halftime to celebrate the University of Michigan's first goal.

Unexpectedly, the words of praise that followed were suddenly stuck in my throat, and for a moment I was choked and couldn't finish my explanation...

The culprit who interfered with the Spartans' goal was Hanamichi.

The moment Jackson passed the ball, Hanamichi realized this carefully designed scam!

"That's right, if my opponents are all those guys with muscles in their brains, that would disappoint me~"

It happened in a flash, and Hanamichi exerted force with his heels.

A reaction force from the court floor acted on him, abruptly stopping his forward steps.

Then he turned around and ran towards Jones near the baseline behind him!

After receiving the ball, Jones dribbled around the Wildcats' center Paul and when he was about to make a layup, he was slammed away by the assisting defense of Hanamichi!

At the critical moment, we still have to rely on the referee to save face!

"Beep! Interference, the goal counts."

"Wow! It's actually goaltending."

"What a shame, such a beautiful block!"

"That red-haired guy is really awesome, he has a strong presence on defense!"

The audience on the sidelines were talking about it, and even Chris Webber, who was watching the game, felt that the red-haired boy was much more pleasing to the eye.

At least the power forward of our own Kings team doesn't have as flexible footwork and bounce as Hanamichi!

You have to know that a fool who speaks unpleasantly and a person who speaks unpleasantly but has basketball skills give people completely different feelings.

Just like now, Weber still hasn't given up his hostility towards Hanamichi.

I just like Hanamichi a little bit, and it's just out of recognition of someone with ability.

But that doesn't mean Weber likes this red-haired boy!

The opening score was 2:2, and the audience thought that this was the beginning and that the two teams would engage in a fierce battle.

But when Das followed Coach Olsen's instructions and used the "one star and four shooters" tactic in the first half.

Everyone then realized that this was not a fair match at all, but a massacre!

Hanamichi kept his mission firmly in mind and demonstrated everything he knew to the 3 spectators and scouts at the scene.

Slam dunks, hard shots under the basket, rebounding positions, mid-range and long-range jump shots, hook shots under the basket, footwork under the basket, and layups against opponents...

That’s not all, he grabbed 9 rebounds, 4 blocks in the first half, and had a strong presence in assisting and helping defense.

It also made everyone realize that this red-haired big man from the mysterious other side of the ocean is not only powerful on the offensive end.

There is also considerable potential and energy on the defensive end!

Hanamichi's first appearance on the NCAA "March Madness" stage left a deep impression on everyone.
