NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Inside the stadium, all the spectators were amazed and cheered for Hanamichi's extraordinary slam dunk.

However, some members of the high school basketball team couldn't believe it, not because of Hanamichi's slam dunk, but because of Hanamichi's direct response to Maki Shinichi's declaration of war.

Yayoi Aida opened her cherry lips (flaming red lips) wide and looked at the red-haired man hanging on the basket.

Even through her observations during the match against Shoyo, she had already given high recognition and attention to these two freshmen of Shohoku.

But I still didn't expect that the first person this year who was qualified and capable enough to receive a challenge from Hainan Mushen would be this young first-year boy!

Not to mention, this young rookie actually responded to the challenge from the number one person in Kanagawa, "Emperor Mu", with his real strength, and truly challenged him as a challenger!

The flower path that fell from the basket seemed to be standing under the spotlight, attracting everyone's attention.

However, all the attention did not bring him any pressure, but made him enjoy it even more.

Those eyes full of confidence and the desire for victory made Coach Anxi's glasses on the sidelines flash constantly.

"That's the look, it's definitely Hanamichi! Now, show us your full strength!"

Hainan was attacking. Amu dribbled the ball while staring at Hanamichi in the paint and muttered to himself:

"This is the first time for me to accept a challenge from a junior. I thought that after Akagi left the court, Xiangbei's inside line would not be able to fill his gap. I didn't expect that at this time, you, who were supposed to compete with Kiyota, would stand up and challenge me."

"I have to admit that this is beyond my expectations. Next, as a sign of respect and response to you, I will defeat you with all my strength!"

Amu was very calm, as if the person who had just broken through Miyagi so easily was not him.

With just one glance, Takasago received the signal and walked towards the high position with steady steps. He knew his next task very well - that was to screen for Amu and block the opponent's defensive players.

Takasago had just established himself at a high position, and Hanamichi was subsequently brought to a high position.

And at this moment, Amu dribbled forward quickly.

He used Takasago's high-quality pick-and-roll to flexibly get rid of the small and agile Miyagi Ryouta.

In the blink of an eye, he successfully broke through to the penalty area.

Murasame exclaimed again and again:

"Amu's breakthrough! It's really unimaginable."

Even Takamiya, who was chewing potato chips, felt that the chips in his mouth were no longer fragrant and exclaimed:

"That middle-aged man actually used such a flexible method to pass the opponent after breaking through in such a violent way just now. It's incredible!"

Danan explained:

“Maybe this is the charm of basketball!”

"Hanamichi!" ~ Haruko Akagi couldn't help but shout in a low voice worriedly!

Although in her opinion, Hanamichi is already a top player in the county, comparable to Rukawa Kaede, he is only a freshman after all. Is it a bit too early for him to challenge the number one player in Kanagawa?

Mito Yohei heard Akagi Haruko's worry, so he smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Ms. Haruko. I think Hanamichi should have made sufficient preparations."

At this time, Hanamichi on the court was already ready when he was moved to a high position by Kazuma Takasago.

He stared at Maki Shinichi, his eyes flashing with determination and perseverance.

Facing this powerful opponent, Hanamichi was not afraid at all. He was fully focused and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

When Shinichi Maki used Takasago's pick-and-roll to break away from Miyagi's defense and headed for the inside, Hanamichi had already run to the penalty area, took position in advance, and assumed a defensive posture waiting for Shinichi Maki's attack.

This reaction and athleticism even surprised Hainan's coach Gaotou:

"He can run very fast and jump very high. His athletic ability alone has surpassed Amu, but... Amu is not easy to deal with!"

Finally, the two met! Hanamichi and Maki looked at each other and could feel the strong fighting spirit emanating from each other.

Then, a thrilling showdown began...

Maki Shinichi jumped towards Hanamichi, supported his left hand in front of him, slightly tilted his body, raised the basketball with his right hand, and made a layup gesture.

Hanamichi also jumped on the spot. Relying on his superb bounce and height advantage, he raised his hands vertically, covering the front of Maki Shinichi like a wall.

Because he was afraid of Amu's ability to commit fouls, Hanamichi relied on the kind of defense remembered by later generations. He puffed out his chest and did not press forward with his hands. He did not violate Amu's "cylinder" at all, not to mention in this era when the concept of "violating the cylinder" had not yet been proposed.

In the eyes of the referee, this was a good defense by Hanamichi.

As the two of them got closer after jumping in the air, Amu's body and Hanamichi's chest made direct contact in the air for the first time.

It was a silent collision, and as soon as the contact came, Hanamichi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The pain that Maki Shinichi caused to Hanamichi after he hit her chest was secondary. What really shocked Hanamichi was that this power was not inferior to his own.

Shinichi Maki is 184cm tall and weighs 79kg;

Hanamichi is 194.5cm tall and weighs 90kg.

Despite the height difference of about 10cm and weight of about 10kg, Shinichi Maki's strength when he sprinted was actually not inferior to Hanamichi.

And then, Maki Shinichi, who was on Hanamichi's chest, exerted a little force with his left arm, and while pushing his own body away, he also pushed Hanamichi's body back, and then stabilized it in mid-air.

Taking advantage of the space created by the two sides, he aimed at the basket and shot with a slight backward movement. The basketball turned around the basket and then rolled into the basket mischievously.

"Okay! Amu!"

After witnessing his captain's difficult goal, Kiyota Nobunaga felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

As the basketball passed through the net, Kiyota Nobunaga couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs, using his high-pitched and excited voice:

"Well done! Captain, you are amazing!"

His face was filled with pride and excitement. At this moment, he had secretly made up his mind to follow his captain's example and work hard to improve his football skills.

The surrounding spectators were attracted by Kiyota Nobunaga's shouts and came back to their senses. Their eyes were focused on the number one player in Kanagawa Prefecture and they couldn't help but cheer for the captain's outstanding performance.

The sound was like surging waves, one higher than the other, resounding through the sky; it was also like bursts of thunder, shocking people's hearts and making people look sideways.

Everyone's face was filled with indescribable excitement and excitement; some people even jumped up, waving flags or towels in their hands, releasing their passion to their heart's content.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became extremely warm. At this moment, everyone was immersed in this wonderful game and felt the infinite charm of sports.
