Capítulo 4:Miyagi

He is a first-year student at Ryonan High School, Hikoichi Aida, who likes to gather the information of every player.

Hikoichi Aida's arrival has not caught the attention of the others.

Now, everyone's attention in the arena is all on Ryuma.

To be exact, it was the ball thrown by Ryuma.

"It looks like they are playing a practice match."

As soon as Aida entered the arena, he looked around the arena with curiosity.

Seeing Ryuma who was throwing, Aida had a surprised expression on his face and said, "What a beautiful move, even if it wasn't perfect, every detail is was well thought out, is he also a Shohoku player? Why don't I have any information about him?"

With a doubt, Aida quickly turned the notebook over in her hand, trying to find out the records about Ryuma.

Now on the field.

As soon as Ryuma threw the ball, it hit the hoop twice before going in.

"Wow! The ball actually went in. Ryuma is so amazing."

"The gap has widened and we are eight points ahead."

"With Ryuma here, we can win this team practice."

...

"Back on defense!"

Ding: jump shot but 5%

After hearing the voice of the system, he ran back to his own midfield without waiting for the reaction of the veterans.

Looking at Ryuma's actions, the other four were a little surprised and after a little while they followed him.

...

"Ryuma, you seem very confident in this pitch!"

Looking at Ryuma's performance, Ayako's eyes, showing a small emotion of admiration.

Coach Anzai showed no change in his expression, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.

As for Sakuragi, he looked envious and said, "Ryuma, are you okay? Hurry up and replace me with that genius."

"That boy is a bit arrogant, concentrate on your training"

Seeing Ryuma's actions, Akagi was a little unhappy and reminded Kogure and the others aloud.

"Let's attack"

Seeing the goal scored, the others were very emotional.

Although Rukawa did not speak, he looked at Ryuma with a little more approval and said, "If he is really a starter, this will be a terrible opponent in the future."

Rukawa said to himself, he quickly went back to the defense and soon came to Ryuma's side.

Seeing Ryuma's goal, Akagi said with a straight face, "This kid's scoring ability is even scarier than I expected. This game is hard to win if we don't play carefully."

"Yes!"

Kogure nodded slightly with a smile, looked at Rukawa and said, "Originally, I thought only Rukawa would be hard to handle in the first grade, but I didn't expect Ryuma to be the hardest to handle."

"Akagi, can we win this practice match? I feel without much hope now."

Akagi did not speak, the meaning is evident.

...

Off the field.

"Ryuma's pitching is great."

Seeing Ryuma scoring, Ayako smiled sweetly, touched his chin playfully, and said, "The score is getting bigger and bigger. If Captain Akagi can't suppress Ryuma and Rukawa, he might lose this practice match."

Hearing Ayako's words, Sakuragi looked depressed and said, "How can this be? Because my genius didn't play, they could easily win the match."

"As per the normal situation, shouldn't they be defeated to that point that they can't fight back, wait for the genius to come on stage to turn the tide?"

Ayako's face was black and she looked at Sakuragi with disgust, this guy is very arrogant.

Ignoring Ayako's nasty look, Sakuragi shouted to Akagi and the others on the field, "Gorilla, four eyes, what are you guys doing? I haven't played yet, how can you guys lose to Ryuma and Rukawa."

Hearing Sakuragi's ridicule, Akagi and the others had black lines on their faces, wishing they could beat Sakuragi.

Sakuragi's screams fell on the ears of Aida, who was not far away, and immediately took an interest in Ryuma, saying, "His name happens to be Ryuma. Hearing the meaning of the red hair, this Ryuma sounds great."

"This face is very mysterious. It could be Shohoku's secret weapon. I should investigate carefully."

Aida said to himself, all his attention was on Ryuma.

On the field.

"Kogure, be careful that Ryuma doesn't steal the ball, he has a strong stealing ability even if he doesn't have much defensive experience."

Akagi sent the ball to Kogure, he reminded Kogure and said, "Don't treat Ryuma like a beginner, his learning ability is incredible and the speed of progress is far beyond our imagination, you should treat him like Rukawa. "

Hearing Akagi's reminder, Kogure's expression was startled, but he quickly agreed with his head.

From the beginning of the training match to the present, Ryuma has been improving almost every minute and every second, constantly learning and using his skills.

"I see."

Kogure replied, and he was very forceful, always preventing Ryuma from stealing the ball.

It's just that Kogure couldn't imagine that in the face of the 'iron wall' buff, no matter how careful he was, there would be no point if it took him but eight seconds.

It hit!

Kogure was a bit distracted and the ball in his hand was intercepted by Ryuma again.

After intercepting Kogure's ball, Ryuma ran toward the basket.

"He's very fast and not unlike Akira Sendoh."

Seeing Ryuma's performance, Aida looked shocked and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a good rookie on the Shohoku basketball team. This time, you're really right, take note, take note."

Compared to Aida's excitement, the others close to him, Takamiya, felt the same way.

"Takamiya, he really stole the ball twice."

"His hands are so fast, he must be great in fights."

"This guy is handsome and has good basketball skills, and he's sure to be popular with the girls."

"Needless to say, when you look at the manager of that basketball team, your eyes almost sparkle when you look at him."

...

Takamiya looked at Ayako while the others were talking.

Now Ayako looked at Ryuma. His eyes were extremely kind.

Looking at Ryuma's extraordinary performance, Ayako said to Sakuragi, "Sakuragi, you have to learn more from Ryuma. He can perform like this because his basic skills are solid."

Sakuragi disapproved of Ayako's words and began to think about it.

At that point.

Ryuma brought the ball to the basket and threw it on the table.

Rukawa, who was coming up behind him, simply caught the ball in the air and made a slam dunk.

After Rukawa scored, he high-fived Ryuma and quickly went back to defense, waiting for Akagi and the others to attack again.

Ding: After completing the task, five assists get "5" free attribute points.

The voice of the system sounded in Ryuma's mind.

After receiving the attribute points, Ryuma decided to look at his attributes to decide where to put the points.

Character information: Akira Ryuma.

Height: 188 cm.

Weight: 70kg.

Strength: 68.

Speed: 85.

Endurance: 80.

Jumping power: 70.

Buff: fast dribbling, acrobatic layups, perpetual motion machine.jump shot

Points:5

Note: attributes below 80 need 1 point to raise 1 attribute from 80 to 90 need 2 points to raise 1 attribute and 90+ are 3 points.

I wanted to increase my speed to 90, but according to the system rules I can only increase to 87 and would still have one point left.

Thinking a bit, I decided to increase my speed to 87 and my strength to 69.

After I finished putting in the points, I really didn't feel any different.

...

Akagi and the others returned to the basket, looking at Ryuma and Rukawa's backs, their emotions and morale were extremely low.

The difference between the two sides increased again and became 8:18. The difference is double digits.

"Captain, what should we do now? The difference has increased to double digits."

"Ryuma is very bad. He doesn't look like a starter. We can't stop him at all yet, but with Rukawa by his side."

"Did this guy really slip and pass out? I feel like he's in better shape than all of us."

...

The three veterans were depressed for a while.

Hearing their words, Akagi said with a solemn expression, "Don't think about it, concentrate on playing. Next, I will personally drive the ball, you must pay attention and cooperate."

Hearing Akagi's explanation, Kogure and several people nodded.

Then, Akagi dribbled the ball personally and led Kogure and the others into the attack.

Looking at Akagi's actions, the expressions of the surrounding people were stunned, feeling a bit unbelievable.

Akagi, an anchorman almost two meters tall, is a weapon maker. What kind of tactic is that?

"Change tactics?"

Seeing Akagi's actions, Ryuma turned to look at Rukawa, said, "Rukawa, let's switch to marking people. I'll protect Captain Akagi, how about you look at Kogure?"

Hearing Ryuma's words, Rukawa hesitated a bit before saying, "Fine!"

Then, Ryuma and Rukawa changed positions and switched targets.

After exchanging markings with Rukawa, Ryuma explained to him, "You always prepare for the counterattack. As soon as I cut the ball from the captain, I will pass it to you for the counterattack."

"That's good!"

Rukawa nodded.

Ryuma and Rukawa's actions quickly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was shocked by it.

Ryuma is going to challenge Akagi?

"Ryuma's courage is getting bigger and bigger. He even wants to challenge Akagi."

Seeing Ryuma's actions, Ayako's face was excited and her eyes were full of expectations.

Not only Ayako, but Coach Anzai was also interested and said with a smile, "It's really interesting!"

"Ryuma vs gorilla?"

Seeing the confrontation between Ryuma and Akagi, Sakuragi became emotional, and quickly shouted to Akagi, "Gorilla, you must not lose to Ryuma, only I can defeat you."

Hearing Sakuragi's words, the black line in Akagi's head remembered the previous shameful thing.

"Idiot, shut up!"

The more Akagi thought about it, the angrier he got, and he couldn't help but yell at Sakuragi.

The moment Akagi was distracted, Ryuma ran forward and reached out for his ball.

Seeing Ryuma's actions, Akagi was shocked in his heart and quickly acted to avoid having the ball stolen.

Too bad his speed was a little slower and his dribbling wasn't one of his strong pots either, and he couldn't avoid it in time.

Bang!

A clear sound rang out and Ryuma stole the ball from Akagi.

Ryuma who took the ball and threw it straight forward without any hesitation or pause and shouted, "Rukawa, quick counterattack."

Before Ryuma could finish speaking, Rukawa was already running and caught the ball taciturnly, saying, "Good job."

Seeing Akagi's ball being taken away, Sakuragi became even more anxious than Akagi and shouted, "Gorilla, what's the matter with you? How can Ryuma take the ball so easily."

Akagi ignored Sakuragi and chased after Rukawa at full speed.

"It's amazing, even Akagi's ball was stolen."

Seeing Ryuma's incredible performance, Aida was shocked and said, "Could it be that he and Rukawa changed positions just to break Akagi's ball?"

"If that's the case, this Ryuma is also very powerful. Make a note of it. It should be noted here."

The more Aida thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he immediately recorded Ryuma's performance.

"The captain's ball was actually stolen by Ryuma."

Seeing Ryuma's performance, Ayako looked on in disbelief.

She really didn't expect Ryuma to actually steal Akagi's ball.

Looking at Ryuma's performance, Coach Anzai pushed up his glasses and said, "Ryuma's insight into basketball seems to be an instinct of the body. This talent was simply born for basketball."

Coach Anzai's assessment surprised Ayako.

Now, Rukawa made a tray, which once again extended the score.

As a result, the score between the first set and the seniors became 8:20.

The gap widened. Seeing the difference between the two sides, Coach Anzai looked at Ryuma, said, "If Akagi doesn't think of a way to solve Ryuma's fierce offense, there will be no suspense in this practice match."

Ayako nodded in agreement. Judging by the current situation, the situation of the senior team can be considered extremely bad.

The successive points conceded have left their morale extremely low, and even their actions have become rigid.

Now. When everyone was worried about the veterans, a young man with earrings entered the basketball hall.

When the young man entered the basketball hall, he noticed the practice game.

"8 a 20?" Seeing the score of the game, the young man rubbed his eyes, thinking he had read it wrong, and exclaimed in shock, "What did the guys do?"

"Even if Rukawa joined the team this year, he shouldn't be beaten like that."

After the young man complained a few words, he went over to Ayako and said, "Ayako, I'm back, did you miss me?"

"Miyagi, you were discharged earlier."

Ayako said "hello" in a simple manner and said, "You look fine. It seems that during the time you were in the hospital, you lived a very nice life."

"No no "

Miyagi quickly shook her head in denial.

Seeing Miyagi and Ayako talking and laughing, Sakuragi pulled him unhappily and said, "Boy, if you want to play, there's no use fawning over Ayako, you have to come after me."

"Yes?"

Hearing Sakuragi's words, Miyagi gave a playful smile, turned his head and shouted to Akagi, "Akagi, you were beaten like that in the first year's training match. It seems you can't do without me."

"Do you need me to play, save you, and help you get some face back?"

"This guy really has been released from the hospital."

Seeing Miyagi on the edge of the court, Kogure showed a surprised smile and said, "Let Miyagi face Ryuma, it will be much easier."

Akagi nodded and shouted with a serious face, "Stop talking nonsense, change your clothes and play immediately."

Miyagi didn't mind Akagi's attitude one bit, winked at Sakuragi and said, "I'll play first."

"What the..."

Seeing that Miyagi was about to play, Sakuragi instantly fainted and suffered a critical hit of 100,000.

Then, Sakuragi could no longer remain calm and walked to Coach Anzai's side.

This move by Sakuragi made Ayako feel embarrassed for a while and completely defeated him.

Soon, Miyagi changed clothes, walked over to Akagi and the others and said, "What's the matter with you, let the first series be like this? Rukawa is so powerful?"

Kogure shook his head and said, "Rukawa is just one aspect, especially Ryuma, who is in the first series. Although he is only a beginner, his learning ability is terrible."

"Ryuma?"

Miyagi looked at the first grade in confusion and found Ryuma under Kogure's guidance.

After looking at Ryuma a few times, Miyagi said with a confused face, "He doesn't look very good besides his height. Next, he'll leave it to me."

Seeing Miyagi's volunteering, Akagi and the others exchanged glances, revealing meaningful smiles.

When Miyagi was paying attention to Ryuma.

Ryuma was also looking at him.

Attributes of the character: Miyagi Ryota.

Height: 168 cm.

Weight: 59kg.

Strength: 65.

Speed: 86.

Endurance: 81.

Jumping power: 83.

"Except for the weaker strength, other attributes are very good."

After reading Miyagi's attributes, Ryuma frowned slightly and said, "Miyagi has joined the veteran team and it's probably impossible to defeat the veterans."

Although Ryuma has a system in place, he still doesn't have much confidence in fighting Miyagi head-on.

Whether it's basic skills or experience controlling the court, he is far inferior to Miyagi.

"The only way now is to be unexpected and expand point advantage."

After Ryuma analyzed his opponent's situation, he understood and knew what to do.

At that moment.

Miyagi dribbled the ball on the midfield line, looked at Ryuma and others with a playful look and said, "Newbie, let's get started."

As Miyagi spoke, the pace of his dribbling was obviously much faster.

Seeing that Miyagi lifted the ball, Ryuma did not hesitate and immediately went to mark him.

Shohoku Teaching Building.

"Haruko, I hear the basketball team is practicing in the gym. Shall we take a look?"

"I heard that the first grade this year is very powerful and the seniors are no match at all."

"Why don't we take a look too, just to cheer on your brother."

...

The three girls walked and talked.

Among the three girls, the girl with the long shawl and hair, delicate face and Akagi's younger sister, Akagi Haruko.

The other girls, on the other hand, are Haruko's friends, Matsui and Fujii.

"Brother!"

After hearing Matsui and Fujii's words, Haruko lost her mind for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's go."

After a while, with the three of them talking and laughing, they arrived at the basketball hall.

At that moment.

Miyagi dribbled the ball over the center line and approached the three-point line, and Ryuma walked quickly over to him.

Seeing it was Ryuma who came to defend himself, Miyagi was a little surprised, but not too serious.

Since he didn't play against him he didn't know much about Ryuma.

Looking at Ryuma, who was defending himself, Miyagi said with a ruffian smile, "Ryuma, Kogure said you are good at stealing the ball, why don't you try to break me"

Before Miyagi's words were finished, he leaned to the right and used his speed to pass.

But Ryuma followed him to his overrun, but before Ryuma could get close he pretended to make a throw and manages to trick him.

After getting rid of Ryuma, Miyagi went towards the basket and made a layup scoring but two points for the veterans' team, leaving the score 10-20.

Ryuma simply shook his head, there was no way, this was the first time he had ever defended someone with a speed similar to his.

It doesn't help that Miyagi besides having more game experience, he was also much, much shorter than Ryuma, which made defense much more difficult since the height difference was 20 centimeters.

After receiving the ball, Ryuma began to take the ball to the attack as soon as he reached the three-point line, Miyagi came to defend him.

Ryuma pretends to go left and makes a crossover to the right causing Miyagi to almost lose his balance.

Before Miyagi can recover, Ryuma accelerates towards the basket, but Kogure comes to defend him.

Ryuma realized that Akagi was on the three point line defending Rukawa, he also saw Kukawata going towards the basket without thinking he passes the ball between Kogure's legs.

When Kukawata receives the ball, he easily makes a layup with no one defending him.

After receiving the ball, Miyagi takes it to the attack.

When he got in front of Ryuma he speaks.

"You're really very good for a rookie, but if you want to win this game you're going to have to try a lot harder."

After he finished speaking, he dribbles the ball between his legs and accelerates to the right, quickly passing Ryuma's defense.

Bang!

Just as Miyagi was about to make the layup Ryuma who was running behind him jumped up and hit the ball on the table completing a block.

Then, with the ball in his hand, Ryuma shouts.

"Rukawa, attack fast!"

Ryuma threw the ball to Rukawa, letting him dribble the ball on the counterattack.

Passing the ball to Rukawa, Ryuma passed Miyagi and counterattacked with Rukawa.

"So fast!"

Seeing Ryuma who blocked him and passed the ball in one go, Miyagi's expression was startled and he couldn't help but freeze in place.

Seeing Ryuma's style of play with his own eyes, he realized that he underestimated his opponent.

"Idiot, what are you thinking, go back to defense."

Seeing that Miyagi was still stunned, Akagi scolded angrily.

Hearing Akagi's scolding, Miyagi calmed down and quickly chased after Rukawa.

Unfortunately, by the time he caught up with him, Rukawa had already jumped made a slam dunk.

Bang!

A dunk sounded and Rukawa easily put the ball in and scored 2 more points.

When Rukawa scored a goal, he waved to Ryuma and said, "good block."

"It's just luck."

To Rukawa's praise, Ryuma was not proud and calmly said, "This ball can be won easily, especially since Miyagi underestimated me."

"Then he put aside his arrogance and it will be difficult for me, to succeed in defending."

Rukawa agreed with his head.

...

Off the field.

"Those two first graders are amazing."

"The person who buried it looks like Rukawa."

"The guy who blocked the ball was very fast and the opponent couldn't react."

"I heard that he lived outside the country, and now many people are asking about him, and many girls are asking for his information."

...

Fujii and Matsui whispered.

Listening to the two girls' conversation, Akagi Haruko looked at Ryuma with curiosity and said, "My brother said a few days ago that a student who lived outside the country came to the basketball team. Very good."

Haruko muttered to herself, and her attention fell completely on Ryuma.

When Ayako saw Haruko, and greeted her warmly and said, "Haruko, you're here, are you cheering for Captain Akagi?"

Haruko nodded silently, then shook her head again.

Seeing Haruko's performance, Ayako shook her head and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Sakuragi looked at Akagi Haruko with bright eyes and his saliva was about to run out.

(This chapter was supposed to be posted only on Sunday but since my family decided to spend the weekend at my grandparents' farm where there is no Internet, I decided to post it today.)
