2 chapter 2: training game

With anticipation, Ryuma used the lottery card.

Then, the prize roulette wheel hand spun rapidly.

Ding: Congratulations, for winning the 'perpetual motion machine' buff card.

Ding: You have obtained the 'perpetual motion machine ' buff card, does the owner activate it?

"Activation!"

I answered without hesitation.

Ding: 'Perpetual Motion Machine' successfully activated.

Perpetual Motion Machine(passive buff): in addition to increasing the user's stamina, it decreases stamina consumption by 50%.

After reading the introduction of "Perpetual Motion Machine", Ryuma can't help but be relieved since his stamina was one of his biggest concerns.

But now that I have this ability I can focus on training to gain weight to increase my strength since this is my attribute, but weak at the moment and a very low weight can make it easier for me to get hurt, so the first thing I should do when I get home and look for a gym to start weight training.

After forming a training plan I decide to look at my stats.

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.

When Ryuma checked the effects of 'Perpetual Motion Machine' on his attributes, he can't help but be impressed by the increase in his endurance.

That he didn't even notice a short, fat old man with white hair entered the basketball hall unhurriedly.

"Coach Anzai!"

Seeing the old man enter the basketball hall, Akagi ran up to him and bowed in greeting.

Regarding Akagi's actions, Coach Anzai smiled charitably and said, "Akagi, the new students this year are great and are all very motivated."

"This time I am here and I have something to tell you. The opponent in the practice match is Ryonan High School."

After Coach Anzai finished speaking, Kogure and others were shocked to learn that the training target was Ryonan High School.

"Ryonan High School, was one of the top four in last year's county competition."

"Wow! Ryonan High School, such a strong opponent."

"Real or fake!"

...

Kogure and others whispered.

"Gather!"

After a few words with Coach Anzai, Akagi ordered everyone.

Hearing this, Ryuma walked over to Kogure and the others with Sakuragi.

Looking at Ryuma and the others gathered, Coach Anzai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Many new faces have been added this year, in this case, come for a first and last grade team practice and let me see the level of the freshmen."

Hearing Coach Anzai's arrangement, Akagi and others quickly acted to assign candidates for the two sides to compete.

Seeing that the two sides were about to start the game, Ryuma was very conscious and walked towards the edge of the court.

With his current physical condition, he would be able to play for quite a while, so he could do his basic training with peace of mind.

Ryuma thought so in his heart, but Sakuragi didn't think so. wait to run to Akagi and said, "Gorilla, Ryuma needs basic training. There are only four people in the first year, but I'm sure."

Hearing Sakuragi's words, Akagi frowned and ignored her request.

Sakuragi's patience is not enough, and he needs to work hard to avoid becoming anxious about success.

Akagi hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Ryuma, and said, "Ryuma, how is your body recovering? Can you practice as a team?" Akagi's words directly irritated Sakuragi, and there is almost a tendency to go crazy.

After that, Sakuragi looked at Ryuma with wide eyes and said, "Ryuma, you are not feeling well, so rest and watch this genius' performance with tranquility." Ryuma ignored Sakuragi's warnings and threats, thinking about how to respond to Akagi.

Ding: Trigger the random task, conduct the five-minute team practice, and acquire the "throwing" skill.

Hearing the system task appear, I no longer hesitated and nodded to Akagi.

Seeing that Ryuma was going to play, Sakuragi immediately became anxious, came to Ryuma in a hurry and said, "You are sure your health is fine, I advise you to rest well."

I was very clear about Sakuragi's thoughts, smiled slightly and said, "I'll go out and try for a while you do warm-up exercises first, and when I'm tired you can take over for me." I didn't dare let Sakuragi play first.

He vaguely remembered the slam dunk that Sakuragi played in the anime and knocked Akagi out directly with a dunk attempt.

If Sakuragi is allowed to play, his mission may not have a chance of being completed. "OK!" Upon hearing Ryuma's words, Sakuragi's eyes lit up and agreed without hesitation.

So, I entered the stadium and conducted the team training for the first and third grades.

Ryuma's addition determined the first year candidates, namely Ryuma, Rukawa, Ishi, Sasaoka and Kukawata.

The senior team consisted of Akagi, Kogure, Yasuda, Kakuta and Shiozaki. In terms of height, without the addition of Sakuragi, the first-year team is obviously against the trend. "Although it's the first year, let's not be sloppy, and now we assign the goal."

Akagi looked at Ryuma and others, and he made the assignment of the marking candidates, saying, "I am in charge of defending Rukawa, Kogure is in charge of Ryuma, kakuta defends Kukawata, Shiozaki marks Ishii, and Yasuda marks Sasaoka."

Upon hearing Akagi's arrangement, the three looked surprised and felt a bit incomprehensible.

"It's only against the first year, do you need to be so serious?" "Will we be too aggressive if we do that?" "Don't be careless, that freshman Rukawa is still very powerful." ... The three players whispered.

Hearing the words of the three, Kogure smiled gently and said, "We have very few veterans. In future competitions, we will definitely let first-year players play."

"Now play a serious game with them to understand their situation and then organize a targeted training." After Kogure explained, the three nodded. "Start the game!" Seeing the players on both sides playing, Ayako announced the start of the game.

Ayako's voice dropped and Yamada Tadashi, a second-year player who was not playing, threw the ball high. Seeing the ball being thrown high, Rukawa and Akagi almost simultaneously provoked them to dispute the initiative for the first ball.

Seeing the confrontation between Rukawa and Akagi, the surrounding people became nervous and stared at them closely. To everyone's surprise, although Akagi has a height advantage, the height of his jump is actually a bit lower.

Hit! When Rukawa touched the basketball, he slapped it hard and hit it in Ryuma's direction.

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Ryuma jumped without thinking and grabbed the ball in his arms.

The moment Ryuma received the ball, Kogure stood in front of him and opened his arms to stop him from dribbling.

"Student, be careful."

Stopping in Ryuma's path, Kogure gently reminded him.

As soon as Kogure's words fell, an immediate sound appeared in Ryuma's mind.

Ding: Trigger a random mission. In team practice, dribble the ball to break Mumu once and get the crossover skill.

Hearing the immediate sound in his head, Ryuma's expression turned serious.

The crossover is one of the most basic basketball skills, but for beginners, it takes a long time to practice.

If you get it straight, it can save Ryuma a lot of time.

More importantly, the skills of the by the system should not be common.

"Senior, here I come!"

As soon as I finish speaking I start thinking about how to get past Kogure's defense because even though he is not the best defender, he still has much more experience than I do.

I look to the left and see that Rukawa is on the 3-point line.

After making eye contact with Rukawa, I pretend to pass the ball to Rukawa, Kogure was obviously lost and then moved to the left.

The moment Kogure moved to the left, Ryuma's body turned into an afterimage, breaking off from his right side.

"So fast!"

Seeing Ryuma breaking through, Kogure's expression became frightened and he immediately chased after him.

With the blessing of the "fast dribbling" buff, Ryuma's speed that was already good got, but faster than Rukawa, so Kogure has no chance to catch up with him.

Soon, Kogure was thrown off by Ryuma, and the distance increased in an instant.

The situation on Kogure's side quickly caught the attention of the others, which surprised everyone.

"Kogure was really broken."

Seeing Ryuma's advance, Akagi's face showed surprise and said, "His speed is faster than Rukawa's."

"His physique is close to Kogure's in the first grade. It's unbelievable that he has so much explosive power. This kid is on to something."

Ryuma's current performance really shocked Akagi.

Not only was Akagi surprised, but even the ruthless Rukawa looked at Ryuma's performance with a shocked expression on his face and said, "It's interesting, much better than that guy."

Rukawa said to himself and looked at Sakuragi, his eyes filled with contempt.

Looking back, Rukawa approached Ryuma, ready to receive his pass.

Off the field.

Seeing Ryuma's performance, Coach Anzai unconsciously stood up and said, "Good movement pattern, incredible explosive power, and this is also a talented person."

Coach Anzai said a few words to himself, showed a relieved smile, and sat back in his chair.

Hearing Coach Anzai's words, Ayako's beautiful eyes twitched, and there was a soft light in her eyes, and she said, "What a beautiful dribbling posture, besides his skills, in the whole court, Ryuma's temperament is the most attractive."

"In just a few days, he can achieve such results. If he, like Rukawa, starts playing in high school, his current style should be even more charming."

"Ah, what am I thinking!"

Finding that no one was paying attention to her, Ayako took a deep breath, looking playful and cute.

Looking at Ryuma's performance on the court, Sakuragi felt a burst of envy in his heart and shouted anxiously and unsatisfactorily, "Four eyes, what are you guys doing? How did Ryuma break through easily?"

Sakuragi's voice came out, interrupting Ayako's thoughts, and unsatisfied, she grabbed the cardboard and pulled it to herself, saying, "Concentrate on training, don't get distracted."

After being hit by Ayako, Sakuragi looked depressed and hurt, and envied Ryuma even more.

He is also new to basketball, so how can the treatment gap be so wide.

As soon as Ryuma broke through Kogure, the sound of the system came.

Ding: Complete the mission, get the crossover skill start the fusion.

At that moment, the crossover skill became Ryuma's instinct.

This feeling is very mysterious and cannot be explained in words, but Ryuma has really mastered it.

Crossover skill: when changing direction the user does not need to slow down, has 15% increase in speed when doing a crossover.

"It certainly differs from an ordinary crossover."

After reading the introduction of the crossover skill Ryuma did not feel the least bit surprised.

If it is an ordinary crossover, it won't be a system reward.

"Yasuda, stop him."

Seeing that Kogure was broken up by Ryuma, Akagi immediately instructed Yasuda to stop Ryuma from continuing towards the basket.

Hearing Akagi's order, Yasuda ran at Ryuma to stop him from cutting the area.

To Yasuda's blocking, Ryuma's speed did not slow down.

Ryuma's action angered Yasuda and he felt he was being slighted.

"Stop belittling people!"

Yasuda snorted softly and looked at Ryuma harder.

However, when he saw that Ryuma was going right at full speed, he hesitated in his heart, "left or right?"

Ryuma's movements were very deceptive.

Now he really understood why Ryuma could easily break through when he was being protected by Kogure.

"Right!"

Yasuda made a judgment call and took a step to the right to prevent Ryuma from moving forward and cutting off the large area.

As soon as Yasuda took a step to the right, he saw Ryuma crossover past the left and cut quickly into the large area.

"Not good!"

Seeing Ryuma get rid of himself, Yasuda was shocked and quickly chased after him.

At that moment, Akagi, who was supposed to be defending Rukawa, stood in front of Ryuma.

"Pass the ball!"

Looking at Ryuma's expression, Coach Anzai pushed up his glasses, praised without hiding and said, "I seem to sense a familiar, vague feeling in Ryuma's classmate."

...

At that moment.

Facing Akagi's defense, Ryuma still had no intention of giving in, and seemed to be trying to force a tray with the ball.

Seeing Ryuma's posture, Akagi's face sank and he shouted, "First grade, you should stop belittling others. If you want to score in front of me, you are too naive."

As Akagi yelled at him, he raised his right hand and slapped the ball fiercely.

"Senior, you're wrong!"

Seeing Akagi trying to cover himself, Ryuma flashed a bright smile, looking handsome and sunny no matter what.

As Ryuma spoke, he began to spin 360 degrees escaping Akagi's block and scoring two points.

"Ryuma and amazing. One person went through three."

"Yeah, yeah, not to mention that 360 layup, I think even if I trained it would still be hard to score still, but if whoever was defending was Akagi."

"The layups now were so nice and impressive, is Ryuma really a starter?"

"I don't want to admit it, but it's a fact and a sad thing."

Seeing that his team took the lead in scoring, the three other rookies were very excited.

Seeing the score, Ryuma quickly went back to defense and said, "Don't relax, go back to defense quickly."

Under Ryuma's reminder, the three quickly followed him and returned to the defense with Ryuma and Rukawa.

For a while, Ryuma felt like a team leader on the first-year team.

Looking at Ryuma's performance, all the people around were shocked.

"Takamiya, the guy who passed out seems to be great. I feel like the first year is centered on him."

"I don't know how powerful he is, but he's definitely more powerful than Sakuragi."

"Sakuragi hasn't even had a chance to play, so there's no way to compare him."

After we got back on defense the veteran team's offense started Kogure was bringing the ball in, before I could start defending he passed the ball under the basket.

When I turn around I see Akagi use his strength to push Rukawa and score a dunk.

This was to be expected, the difference in weight, height and strength from Rukawa to Akagi is quite large.

When I receive the ball, I start to attack and see Kogure in front of me. While I'm trying to get rid of him, I signal to Rukawa to pick and roll.

After Rukawa blocks Kogure Ryuma accelerates towards the basket, but this time the only one who could defend in time was Akagi.

Ryuma pretends to make a layup when Akagi jumps to block, he threw the ball back with his right hand and threw the ball to Rukawa on the left.

Hit!

After a clear sound, the ball fell into Rukawa's hands.

"Well distributed!"

When Rukawa received the ball, he quickly penetrated from Akagi and sprinted to the basket.

Next, the ball was hit into the basket by Rukawa.

"Rukawa, that's amazing!"

"Ryuma is amazing"

"Yeah, yeah, without Ryuma's restraint, it would be hard for Rukawa to score."

"The back pass just now was so beautiful, Ryuma is really impressive"

Looking at Ryuma's performance, Takamiya who was watching from outside, talked to each other.

Sakuragi, who was still doing basic training after hearing the muttering from Takamiya and the others, exploded in an instant, "You guys shut up, a bunch of guys who don't understand basketball are talking nonsense there, he just played for me for a while."

"Wait a minute, when I play today, you'll know how good I am."

"Ryuma, you heard me, although you are playing for me, don't pass the ball to Rukawa."

"Tranquilo!"

Seeing Sakuragi's performance, Ayako picked up the cardboard and patted it.

Coach Anzai next to him looked at Ryuma on the court and said with a smile, "Perfect posture, incredible explosion, keen observation, acrobatic moves, all the qualities of a star player, this is a piece of jade to be carved."

On the field.

"Everybody cheer up. If we lose to the first grade, everyone will get extra training."

Although Ryuma's performance made Akagi very pleased, but takes two baskets in a row from the first year also made his face unbearable.

His original idea was to test the freshman's strength in this team practice and then leave him dismayed.

Who knew that variable Ryuma showed up and completely interrupted his plan.

With Akagi's warning, Yasuda looked nervous and seemed to be under great pressure.

Seeing the performance of Yasuda and the others, Kogure smiled reassuringly and said, "It was my mistake now. Next, everyone cheer up and recover the lost ball."

"It's good!"

Yasuda and the others said in unison.

"Come on!"

Cheering everyone's morale up, Akagi passed the ball to Kogure and set out to attack.

Soon, Kogure dribbled the ball through the midfield and came to the outside area of the break.

Looking at the menacing veterans, Ryuma said with a serious expression, "Everyone defends well and holds the ball."

Although Ryuma has never played basketball in 5v5 before, he understands that defending is the harder part than playing offense.

"Good!"

Ryuma and Rukawa teamed up to score the first points, which made the morale of the other rookies extremely high, and now they are not panicking in front of the veterans.

Looking at the performance of the others, Ryuma nodded with satisfaction. That's the advantage of winning the first points.

Ryuma reminded everyone and greeted Kogure, giving him his full attention.

Ding: Trigger the random task defense, stop Kogure from advancing with the ball, and reward the passive 'iron wall' buff.

"Very powerful skill, this must be defended."

Hearing the system reward, Ryuma secretly made up his mind and became more focused.

"Be careful."

Seeing Ryuma coming to defend himself, Kogure reminded him and looked for an opportunity to interrupt.

You see, Ryuma is much faster than him, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get rid of Ryuma.

After several attempts to break through, he kept failing to get rid of Ryuma, but instead made him consume a lot of physical strength.

With this, Kogure finally understood how great the physical difference between him and Ryuma was.

With such a result, Kogure became extremely depressed and gave up his plan to break Ryuma.

"Kogure, pass the ball quickly, you are holding the ball too long."

Seeing that Kogure failed to break through several times, Akagi immediately reminded him.

Hearing Akagi's reminder, Kogure did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Akagi.

Ding: Complete the mission - Defense and get the passive buff 'iron wall'.

Iron Wall (passive buff): In the game, you can instinctively judge the movement but correct in defense and make more timely blocks, ball steals.

Note: In a single attack, if someone holds the ball for more than 8 seconds, the probability of your shot being intercepted will increase to 80%.

"It's a great defensive technique."

After reading the description of the 'iron wall', a bright smile appeared at the corner of Ryuma's mouth.

In normal games, dribbling pg's usually hold the ball for more than 8 seconds when attacking.

Thus, if Ryuma uses this skill well, it will become a nightmare for defenders.

Also, with the 'iron wall' buff, Ryuma's defensive deficiencies will be greatly compensated.
