Jinguji Budo's slam dunk moves are quite smooth and give people a strong sense of impact. It can be seen that this skillful slam dunk move is definitely not the first time Budo has tried it.
"Dunk... slam dunk?!"
"It's still an aerial relay!!!"
The freshmen of Takeishi Junior High School were stunned by the scene before them. After a brief silence, they watched Jinguji Takeshi complete an alley-oop and fall back to the ground.
Many of the new students joining the basketball team this year have a foundation. They had a basketball foundation in elementary school and even participated in competitions. Most of them are also basketball fans and have watched many games.
Whether it is a slam dunk or an alley-oop, many people have seen it on TV or on the court.
But they had never seen a middle school student perform such a slam dunk.
Wu Dao, who was on the other side of the court, seemed not to have heard the exclamations of the freshmen. After completing an alley-oop slam dunk, he came to Mitsui's side with a smile and high-fived Mitsui to celebrate.
"The quality of the work has improved a lot. Whether it's the height of the jump or the sense of power when dunking, it's much better than before the holiday."
Mitsui Hisashi's face was full of smiles, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wu Dao was filled with not only joy but also strong envy.
Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Takeshi are very good friends. Seeing that Takeshi has made great progress in such a short period of time, Mitsui Hisashi is also happy for Takeshi.
However, when Mitsui looked at Budo who had grown to 190cm and could easily complete an alley-oop slam dunk, he looked back at his own physical talents as a person who was only 173cm tall.
Even though Mitsui has always been full of confidence, after comparing the talent gap between himself and Wudao, Mitsui Shou couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Fortunately, the 17cm difference is in height. If it was in other parts, who knows how inferior Mitsui would have felt.
"Of course. I have been training hard during this holiday. Both my strength and explosive power have improved a lot."
"I have entered the growth stage, and my basic physical fitness is improving. Although the vacation time is short, my improvement is huge."
"Xiao San, you don't have to worry. Keep practicing. When you start to grow, you'll be able to dunk."
"Well, one day you will be able to catch up with me."
Jinguji Takeshi saw the emotions in Mitsui's eyes, patted Mitsui's shoulder gently and joked.
Even though he was joking with Mitsui, Wudao was not lying. Although Mitsui, a third-year junior high school student, was one year older than him, Mitsui Shou was the type of child who developed relatively late. Until now, Mitsui did not show any obvious developmental signs, and his voice was still relatively wispy.
On the other hand, although Wudao is only in the second year of junior high school this year, he already has fine hair above and below his lips.
Wudao vaguely remembered that in the original work, when Mitsui Shou just entered Xiangbei High School, he was only 176cm tall, but when he was promoted to the third year of high school, he was already 184cm tall. In other words, Mitsui Shou's growth period lasted at least to the first or even second year of high school.
Despite the lack of exercise, Mitsui Shou still grew 8cm taller. If he had exercised and eaten properly during his growth period, it would not be a problem for Mitsui Shou to grow another 4 or 5cm taller. Slam dunking would not be a problem for Mitsui Shou in the future.
"Tsk, I'm not in a hurry."
When Mitsui Shou heard Wudao's words of comfort, he raised his chin and turned his head away, sneered, and looked like he didn't care at all, but his eyes were slightly narrowed. It was obvious that he enjoyed Wudao's words very much.
"This tsundere..." Wudao glanced at Mitsui and stopped teasing him. Instead, he looked at Rukawa Kaede on the other side of the court. Among the first-year freshmen, Wudao only knew Rukawa Kaede, and he really wanted to see Rukawa Kaede's expression now.
However, to his surprise, Rukawa was no longer paying attention to the warm-up situation here. Wearing training clothes, Rukawa was doing warm-up on his own, as if he didn't care about the explosive slam dunks here.
All the first-year students except Rukawa were still immersed in the emotion of "shock". They stared at Wu Dao in a daze and had not yet come to their senses.
"Rukawa Kaede, this kid has a very good mentality. He wasn't scared at all." Wudao watched Rukawa Kaede warming up for a while and thought secretly in his heart.
"Hey, Budo, it seems like you've gone a little too far."
"Those first-year rookies probably don't have the will to fight anymore."
Mitsui Shou stood next to Wudao, looking at the dazed first-year students opposite him, and couldn't help shaking his head.
When the gap is too big, fear of the strong will naturally arise. Mitsui Hisashi's original intention was to use the slam dunk of martial arts to hit the momentum of the first-year students and give them a gift for joining the company.
But now it seems that it was a bit too much, and the first graders were frightened by this show of power.
"How could that be? Xiaosan, you underestimate them too much."
"If the others don't tell me, that kid won't be scared."
Wudao pointed at Rukawa Kaede who was warming up and replied.
At this time, Rukawa was doing warm-up exercises with a solemn face. Although he was briefly shocked after seeing Wudao's alley-oop dunk, he quickly regained his composure.
Rukawa Kaede's mind has always been very simple: to become stronger and surpass every strong person. This is the only thing that Rukawa Kaede has in his mind.
After giving another warning, senior students like Wudao and Mitsui Shou didn't make any more trouble. Under the leadership of Mitsui, the players talked and laughed, did some simple stretching, and then casually threw the ball, waiting for the game to begin, looking quite relaxed.
On the other hand, the first-year players did warm-up exercises in silence after coming back to their senses, and the atmosphere of the entire team was a bit depressing.
Anxi Zhengyi on the sidelines could of course see that the first-year players were not in good shape, but he did not say anything. This was a training match to test the overall quality of the freshmen, and their ability to withstand pressure was also part of their overall quality.
The warm-up time passed quickly, and as a third-year player blew the whistle to start the game, players from both teams began to gather in the center circle.
On the lower grade side, the tallest one, Rukawa Kaede, came to the center circle for the jump ball. This year, Rukawa Kaede encountered the same thing as Budo did last year. He was assigned the responsibility of a center even though he was not playing at the center position.
On the senior side, the one who jumped the ball was Jinguji Takeshi, who was 190cm tall. Rukawa Kaede, who was 177cm tall, was much shorter than Takeshi when standing in front of him.
“… … ” Rukawa stood in the center circle, raised his head slightly and looked at Wudao’s smiling face, for a moment he couldn’t say fuck.
"Don't worry about the outcome of the jump ball. I know that's not what you're best at."
"Just do your best to show your abilities. If you perform well enough, you can become a regular even if you are a freshman."
Takeshi Jinguji was wearing a white jersey with number 5, while Rukawa was wearing a solid yellow training suit with number 24. At this time, Takeshi was looking down at Rukawa, and in terms of momentum, Takeshi was much stronger than Rukawa.
Facing his old friend Budo, Rukawa Kaede did not speak. He bent slightly, looked up, and concentrated his attention.
"Are you serious? Then I'll treat you well too. I'll sharpen Takeishi's new sword!"
Wu Dao's smile faded, and he also bent slightly, preparing for the jump ball.
Seeing that Wudao stopped talking, the referee came to the center line, blew the whistle again, placed the ball between Wudao and Rukawa, and after pausing for a few seconds, quickly threw the ball into the air.
Although the basketball was in the air, two figures flew directly into the air. The next second, with a slight sound, the basketball flew rapidly towards Mitsui Shou who was not far away.
In terms of jump ball, no matter how talented Rukawa is, he cannot make up for the 13cm gap.
"Good shot!" Mitsui simply stretched out his hand and successfully caught the ball in his arms. After shouting with a smile, he threw the ball directly above Wudao.
Mitsui Shou intended to let Wudao handle the first ball of the game.
"Sa, Yikuyou~"
