Chapter 5:???

Then Sakuragi couldn't take it anymore. He shook Coach Anzai desperately and said, "Pops, I'm also a member of the basketball team. Everyone has played on the court. You can't treat me like this and I want to play on the court too."

Seeing Sakuragi's offensive behavior, everyone around was stunned. He was so rude to the coach.

Seeing Sakuragi's actions, Akagi couldn't take it anymore and walked towards Sakuragi with a grim face.

"Just be quiet for me!"

Reaching Sakuragi's side, Akagi dragged him aside and said to Coach Anzai, "Coach, this guy is a beginner and has some problems in life, so I don't intend to let him play."

Upon hearing Akagi's words, Sakuragi immediately grabbed a ball and dribbled quickly.

"He's good-looking."

Looking at Sakuragi's dribbling performance, Coach Anzai praised him. He changed the subject and said, "However, since Captain Akagi has a deal, you should listen carefully."

"Sakuragi, during this period of time, you should study and practice more. I hope to see your performance and performance in the training match with Ryonan."

Seeing Coach Anzai say this, Sakuragi lost his fighting spirit in an instant and suddenly became depressed.

However, when Sakuragi saw Ryuma, he immediately became excited and said, "Ryuma, I have finished the warm-up, you hurry up and trade with me."

Hearing Sakuragi's words, Ryuma frowned slightly, showing some hesitation.

I made a deal with Sakuragi before I would go on the field to try out myself and then replace him on the field to play.

Ryuma was thinking about letting Sakuragi play when a systematic voice appeared in his mind.

Ding: Trigger the random task, play a practice game for twelve minutes without making mistakes and get the skill "Dunk(Vince Carter)".

The current task progress, 8/12 minutes.

"Dunk(Vince Carter)?"

Ryuma's expression was stunned for a moment, and he decided to complete this assignment, saying, "There's no need to think about it. I'll exchange with Sakuragi after the task is completed."

The reward of the task lies ahead of him Ryuma will never give up.

Especially the technique of "Dunk(Vince Carter)" is very attractive to him.

Everyone who likes to play basketball has had the dream of dunking like Vince Carter at least once.

Ryuma is currently 188 cm. But with his jumping ability his dunks often don't work out.

Ryuma had a decision in his heart, so he turned to Sakuragi and said, "Sakuragi, please wait a few more minutes, I will expand the scoring advantage and switch with you to play."

Ryuma's words were not only unsatisfying in Sakuragi's heart, but also in Akagi and others.

"That boy's tone is getting more and more arrogant."

Akagi looked unhappy, showing mild discontent.

Although he admires Ryuma greatly, he knows that the stronger Ryuma is, the better for the Shohoku basketball team.

But a rookie, ignoring the group of veterans, still bothered him a little.

"Akagi, don't worry too much, capable people will be proud of themselves."

Kogure is a good gentleman. Seeing that Akagi was a little angry, he quickly comforted him and said, "I think Ryuma gradually showed his style in this training match."

"He dared to say such a thing, and it was also a show of confidence, which is good for the team."

Although he knew Kogure's words were true, Akagi was still a little unhappy and said, "Kogure, who are you helping?"

"Boss, don't worry, I'll look at him next and won't give him a chance."

Hearing the conversation between Akagi and Kogure, Miyagi smiled and looked at Ryuma teasingly.

Ryuma is busy dealing with Sakuragi right now and is not paying attention to Miyagi's side.

Seeing that Ryuma asked himself to wait a while, Sakuragi immediately gave up and said, "No, I want to play right away and I can't let you and Rukawa take center stage."

Seeing Sakuragi's attitude, Akagi couldn't take it anymore and said, "Sakuragi, basketball is a team sport, not an individual show."

"If in your mind, you just use this as a tool to get the spotlight, I suggest you don't waste your time."

"Think about it, and when you figure it out, I'll let you trade with Ryuma."

Akagi scolds, Sakuragi is no longer playful, and his attitude becomes a bit more serious.

Seeing Sakuragi's performance, Akagi says nothing to Ryuma and others, "Keep the game going."

...

Everyone returned to the court, and the veterans began to draw, and Miyagi dribbled the ball into the attack.

Seeing Miyagi dribble the ball near the three-point line, Ryuma greeted him, preventing him from dribbling or passing inside.

When Ryuma ran at Miyagi, he continued to stop Miyagi's advance using his speed and height advantage.

As Ryuma was concentrating on defense, the soles of his shoes slipped and he fell toward Miyagi.

"He wants to steal the ball!"

Seeing Ryuma leaning toward him, Miyagi was startled, thinking that he was going to steal the ball.

Panicked, Miyagi passed the ball to Akagi without much thought.

No way, Ryuma's block was too relentless, causing him some psychological shadows.

The moment Miyagi passed the ball, Rukawa stepped wide and cut off the ball passed to Akagi.

"Well distributed!"

Rukawa received the ball and did not forget to tease Miyagi before taking the ball for the attack.

Seeing that the ball was intercepted by Rukawa, Akagi roared in anger, "Idiot, what are you doing?"

Akagi scolded Miyagi, but he did not hesitate and quickly chased after Rukawa. At that moment.

Ryuma put his hands on the ground to keep his balance and avoid falling to the ground.

Seeing Ryuma's actions, Kogure, who walked past him, said with concern, "Ryuma, is everything okay for you?"

"It's fine, it's just that the sole of my shoe slipped, let's keep going."

Ryuma shook his head with a slight smile and gave Kogure a relieved look, signaling him not to worry.

Upon hearing Ryuma's response, Miyagi was immediately embarrassed.

Ryuma slipped and he was so startled that he passed the ball around randomly.

When Miyagi was depressed, Kogure comforted him, "Miyagi, take it easy, although Ryuma defends very well, I believe you can handle it."

"..."

Miyagi looked depressed and thought, "Kogure, you are really good at comforting people" After Kogure reminded him, Akagi remembered that Miyagi made a wrong pass now.

Ryuma just fell down and was so scared that he passed the ball randomly.

It looked like he was under a lot of pressure. To relieve Miyagi's pressure, Akagi patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, although Ryuma's performance is good, he is a beginner after all."

Seeing Akagi's actions, Miyagi almost vomited blood, and his resentment value instantly filled up.

Akagi is going too far, is this indirectly talking about him scaring a beginner? While true, it can't be said directly.

"Focus, here they come." After comforting Miyagi, Akagi reminded everyone.

Under the watchful eye of Akagi and others, Ryuma took the ball to the three-point line and began that attack.

Perhaps because he has lost face now, Miyagi's attention is now extremely focused.

Under Miyagi's inexhaustible defense, Ryuma had no chance at all and felt a pressure.

It is now impossible to get past Miyagi since even if he manages to get past another person would come to defend him maybe the, but of two.

"If this continues, it will just be a waste of physical strength. It's better to save physical strength."

After Ryuma thought for a while, he understood the pros and cons and thought no more about getting rid of Miyagi.

Immediately, Ryuma found an opportunity and passed the ball to Rukawa.

When Rukawa received the ball, he turned into an afterimage, easily broke through Kogure who was blocking him and reached an empty area.

Unguarded, Rukawa hit a ball with ease and scored 2 points.

As a result, the score between the first series and the veterans became 10:24, and the gap widened again.

When Rukawa scored, he ran towards Ryuma and said, "Good pass"

"Akagi, Ryuma seems to be starting to get tired, do you want to replace Sakuragi? It's only a practice match after all."

Looking at Ryuma's back, Kogure discovered his condition and asked.

Akagi looked at Ryuma a few times before saying, "Ryuma has his own opinions. He is really tired and should be replaced by Sakuragi."

Seeing Akagi say that, Kogure nodded.

Akagi sent the ball to Miyagi and asked him to dribble into the attack.

Looking at Miyagi who was approaching with the ball, Ryuma's expression was solemn and he said in his heart, "My stamina is a little low even with the 'perpetual motion machine' buff I've expended a lot of energy since in defense and offense I rely heavily on my speed.

I must take this opportunity to try to play in a way that I don't get so tired."

Compared to Ryuma's thoughts, Miyagi found that Ryuma's stamina was low, so he raised some scorn.

"Miyagi seems to underestimate his opponent."

Seeing Miyagi's performance, the corners of Ryuma's mouth curved slightly, producing a slight smile.

Miyagi's performance like this is a great help to him.

However, Ryuma was in no hurry. With he was trying to play without using his speed too much, the success rate of stealing the ball is very low.

He has to wait patiently for the opportunity, and wait until Miyagi's vigilance is the weakest moment, and then steal the ball.

"Miyagi, don't hold the ball for too long, pass the ball quickly."

Akagi squeezed into the basket and occupied a favorable position, he reminded Miyagi.

Seeing that Akagi was insisting, Miyagi frowned and looked at Kogure who was standing next to him.

Passing the ball straight to Akagi, the intention is too obvious, he wants to pass to Kogure.

"He wants to pass the ball to Kogure!"

Aware of Miyagi's little movements, Ryuma's heart quickened and he moved toward Kogure.

Now, Miyagi actually passed the ball to Kogure, just as Ryuma had predicted.

"How... how is it possible? He really understood my intentions."

Seeing Ryuma accelerating at a frightening speed and appearing in front of Kogure and stealing the ball, Miyagi's eyes widened.

Ryuma's ball stealing was beyond his expectations.

"Get back on defense!"

Seeing that Ryuma stole the ball again, Akagi turned and ran toward his own basket.

Under Akagi's reminder, the four of them followed him closely.

Ding: Complete the ten minute team practice and obtain the skill "Dunk(Vince Carter)".

Dunk(Vince Carter): When you make a dunk, the jump power is +20 and the strength is +20. If the opponent does not foul, the dunk must be hit, it also allows the user to make any dunk of the legend Vince Carter.

Note: every time the skill is used the user will consume 15% of stamina, depending on the opponent's strength and defensive skill or the difficulty of the dunk the stamina consumption can reach 30%.

"Really very strong."

After reading the descriptions of the skill, he got very excited and said, "Using the skill of 'dunk (Vince Carter) added 20 points of power and leap. With the addition of that status, ordinary people can dunk."

Even with the loss of stamina when using the skill it is still very worthwhile.

"Since I'm going to be replaced, then before I leave the court, I'm going to put on a show."

Ryuma thought about this as he ran, taking the ball beyond the three-point line.

Seeing that there was no one in front of me, I decide to try to make one of Vince Carter's most iconic dunks.

When I get close to the basket, I take a deep breath and jump as hard as I can to make a 360 windmill dunk.

Seeing Ryuma's performance, the stadium went quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes and mouths went wide.

Under normal circumstances, with Ryuma's height of 188 cm, he would have no problem dunking, but the requirements to do this dunk are ridiculously high.

But Ryuma not only managed to do the dunk, he did it with great ease.

Ryuma's dunk is very shocking.

After a brief silence in the arena, a deafening sound was heard.

Everyone was excited, talking incoherently, and their emotions were so high.

"Wow, very strong, dunk 360 windmill."

"Ryuma is only 188 centimeters, and it's unbelievable that he can do that dunk."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. It's really amazing."

"It's like watching an NBA star, it's so exciting."

...

Seeing Ryuma's performance, the three members of Sakuragi's Gang were very excited.

Now, even Rukawa, couldn't help but say, "A very pretty dunk."

"That boy can really bury it!"

Looking at Ryuma in front of him, Akagi's eyes widened in shock and felt unbelievable in his heart.

Kogure looked depressed, looked at Ryuma with envy and said, "My height is not that low and I can barely touch the rebound, which is very shocking."

"That boy's jumping power is completely irrational."

Miyagi also had a look of envy on her face, unconsciously thinking in her heart, "If I have that kind of jumping ability, can I also bury? This guy's talent is really enviable."

...

Off the field.

"So ... that kid ... can really bury it!"

Looking at Ryuma on the court, Ayako's handsome face was full of surprise and her heart was trembling.

The shock that Ryuma's dunk brought was too strong.

Akagi Haruko, who was standing next to him, also had a shocked expression on her face and said, "That fellow's height doesn't even look like 190 cm. He can dunk like that. It's really amazing."

"Unexpectedly, this year's Shohoku basketball team has such a powerful person. It looks like my brother's dream will come true."

...

"This Ryuma is so amazing."

"His jumping power is probably stronger than Sakuragi."

"His jumping power may not be stronger than Sakuragi, but his basketball skills are not comparable to Sakuragi's."

"Comparing Sakuragi to him, that kind of joke is not funny."

Looking at Ryuma's amazing performance, the four of them didn't forget a few words about Sakuragi.

Hearing Takamiya and the others harassing each other again, Sakuragi couldn't help himself, turned his head and shouted at them, "You guys, shut up and don't disturb our practice."

Seeing that Sakuragi was going to go crazy, Takamiya and the others held back their smiles and did not stimulate Sakuragi any further.

In the face of Ryuma's amazing performance, Coach Anzai's mood, stood up excitedly and said, "Ryuma's basketball talent is very rare, even in the NBA."

"He is only 15 years old this year, and if he continues to maintain this rate of progress, his future achievements will be truly immeasurable."

"Yazawa, have you seen it? There's a super genius here, and his talent is above yours."

The more Coach Anzai thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes looking at Ryuma became more and more ardent.

In the whole stadium, the most excited person is Aida, a first-year Ryonan student.

"It's very powerful, very strong, this time it's really worth it."

Aida recorded with emotion, he didn't want to miss every detail of Ryuma.

After recording Ryuma's information, Aida thought for a while and then picked up his cell phone and said, "No, I have to tell the trainer immediately that there is a super rookie in Shohoku, being even more powerful than Rukawa."

So Aida quietly left the basketball hall and called Coach Shohoku.

"Hi, I'm Moichi Taoka."

The call was connected and a deep male voice came from the microphone.

Hearing Moichi Taoka's voice, Aida said incoherently and excitedly, "Coach, I've made a great discovery. The Shohoku basketball team has a super-powerful rookie."

"I know, Rukawa right? You're at Shohoku High School?"

"Yes... No, not Rukawa, his name is Ryuma, he's a student who lived out of the country, he's really amazing."

"Aida, what are you talking about? Because I can't understand."

"Coach, there is a player in Shohoku. His name is Ryuma. He is a 188 cm pg, and he can do dunk 360 windmill."

"What? A first-year kid can do a dunk like that?"

"Yes, it's really amazing, and, I hear, he's still a beginner."

"Beginner? Come back immediately and tell us about the situation in detail."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

...

After the phone call with Moichi Taoka, Aida returned to Ryonan High School without delay.

"Coach, what happened that surprised you so much?"

Seeing Moichi Taoka hang up the phone, Jun Uozumi and Akira Sendoh gathered curiously.

Seeing Sendoh and the others around him, Moichi Taoka had a serious expression and said, "Aida called me just now. When he went to Shohoku to investigate, he found out that a great rookie had joined the Shohoku basketball team."

"A great newcomer? Rukawa Kaede?"

Hearing Moichi Taoka's words, Akira Sendoh took over the words, agreed with his head, and said, "I've heard about him, his strength is really good, but after all, he's only a first-year freshman, so there's no need to be so surprised."

Uozumi and several people nodded, Rukawa is very famous, but not that surprising.

"It's not Rukawa!"

Seeing that Sendoh misunderstood, Moichi Taoka shook his head and said, "Just now Aida was on the phone and said it was a student named Ryuma, a beginner who was getting into basketball."

Beginner?

Sendoh and the others were even more confused.

Shigeru Tiangang calmed down and said, "this fledgling named Ryuma is 188 cm tall, but he is pg and has completed the difficult dunk 360 windmill move."

When Sendoh and others heard the words, everyone showed shocked expressions and their hearts were shocked to the extreme.

"If that's true, that freshman named Ryuma has incredible talent."

"It seems that this year's Shohoku basketball team has attracted a lot of talent."

"I have raised my expectations for this practice game. I really want to meet Rukawa and Ryuma for a while."

"Sendoh, as a veteran, you must intimidate the newcomer."

...

The expressions of Sendoh and others were animated, and they seemed very eager for it.

Seeing the performance of Sendoh and the others, Moichi Taoka smiled slightly and raised some expectations.

This practice match will be very interesting.

(By some miracle the internet is picking up on my grandparents farm so as I am in a good mood I decided to post this chapter and also I am thinking of a back story for Ryuma and just now I realized that I still don't know what he is going to look like so if you guys can leave suggestions for what Ryuma should look like it would be very helpful.)
