"My defensive tactics..."

"Completely devastated..."

Taoka Shigeichi felt his worldview had shattered.

This doesn't look like high school students playing basketball.

This is simply a case of being outmatched!

[Task Progress: 3/3]

[Mission Complete!]

[Rewards: Medium Stamina Potion, 1 Skill Point, already issued]

"call……"

Lin Bei landed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Finally done."

"I'm exhausted."

He glanced at the scoreboard and then at the time.

There are eight minutes left.

"Master! Master!"

Just then, a red figure rushed over.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was covered in sweat, but his eyes were as excited as a husky that had just seen a bone.

"That move was so cool!"

"I want to learn too! I want to learn too!"

"I'm going to scare that old man so much he wets his pants!"

Lin Bei looked at Sakuragi and suddenly had an idea.

Now that the task is complete, the remaining time...

Let the monkey do its thing.

Anyway, I couldn't run anymore.

"Sakuragi."

Lin Bei patted Sakuragi's shoulder earnestly.

"It's a bit early to want to learn that."

"However, I now have an even more powerful finishing move, a move that only you can execute."

"Really?!" Sakuragi's eyes lit up.

"certainly."

Lin Bei pointed to the top of the basketball hoop.

"In a bit, I'm going to throw the ball into the air."

"No matter how high you throw it, no matter how far you throw it."

"All you have to do is jump up and slam the ball into the basket."

"This is called... 'a genius parachuting in'."

"A genius...parachuted in!"

Sakuragi muttered to himself, then looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Great name!"

"Perfect for a genius like me!"

"Leave it to me, Master! I can fly higher than anyone else!"

The game continues.

The attack by Ryonan failed.

Akagi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Lin Bei.

Lin Bei slowly dribbled past the halfway point.

At this point, Ryonan's defense was already somewhat chaotic.

They didn't know whether to defend against Lin Bei's breakthroughs or his passes.

Lin Bei stood two steps away from the three-point line.

The ball stopped suddenly.

He looked at the basketball hoop and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

"Go on."

He tossed the ball high into the air with both hands.

The ball flew very high, very high.

It wasn't a shot trajectory at all; it even looked like a misplaced pass.

"What is that...?"

Uozumi was about to laugh at him for being a three-no-stick (meaning someone who doesn't get involved in anything).

Suddenly, a red lightning bolt took off from near the free-throw line.

Sakuragi Hanamichi.

He took a running start, pushed off the ground, and jumped.

The floor let out a painful groan.

He shot up like a rocket.

It passed over the top of the off-road vehicle and over the fingertips of the immortal.

It even... went over Uozumi's head!

"What?!"

The entire audience stood up.

That red-haired guy... is he flying?!

Sakuragi was in the air, his body stretched out like a taut bow.

Those worn-out sneakers seemed to be walking on clouds.

At the highest point, the orange basketball appeared right in his hands.

At this moment, his eyes were level with the basket.

"I am...a genius!!!"

A roar.

Sakuragi used his core strength to slam the ball hard into the basket with both hands.

"Bang!!!"

The deafening roar echoed throughout the stadium.

The basketball hoop shook violently, creaking under the strain.

Alley-oop dunk!

Sakuragi landed and staggered a couple of steps due to inertia, but quickly regained his balance.

He turned around, facing the completely silent audience, and facing the petrified Taoka Shigeichi.

He stood with his hands on his hips, nostrils pointing to the sky, striking his signature pose.

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

"Do you see that, mortals!"

"This is the secret weapon!"

"This is the power of the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

"Hahaha!"

Taoka Shigeichi clutched his chest, panting heavily.

He looked at the red-haired monster, then glanced at Lin Bei, who was smirking in the distance.

Only one thought remained in my mind:

Shohoku... those guys...

Where did this monster army come from?!

67: 68.

The score has been reversed!

Shohoku's momentum was completely ignited.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's "genius parachute" move.

It was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling oil pan, extinguishing most of Ryonan's home-field advantage.

Then another fire ignited the adrenaline of the Shohoku team.

"Get back on defense! Don't get carried away!"

Although Akagi Takenori was excited inside, he still maintained the dignity of a captain on his face.

He roared and ran towards the back field first.

"Yes! Gorilla!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was still savoring the feeling of that dunk.

His palms burned with pain, but he felt it was a badge of genius.

However, the situation on the field can change in an instant.

Ryonan was, after all, a top-four team last year.

After a brief moment of panic, Jun Uozumi's massive frame once again became the anchor of the paint.

Give me the ball!

Uozumi blocked the position and asked Sendoh for the ball.

He was overshadowed by Sakuragi in the scramble just now.

At this moment, the "monkey boss" had a raging fire burning in his eyes.

Without hesitation, Sendoh delivered a bounce pass, accurately placing it into Uozumi's hands.

Takenori Akagi immediately stepped up.

Two giants of flesh collided fiercely under the basket, the squeezing sound of muscles against muscles was enough to make your teeth ache.

"Don't even think about going there!"

Akagi gritted his teeth and desperately resisted Uozumi's back-to-the-basket attack.

"Roar!"

Uozumi suddenly exerted his strength, turned around and sprang up.

Just then, the basketball bounced off the rim.

"rebound!"

Akagi and Uozumi jumped at the same time.

Four large hands entangled in mid-air, vying for that crucial landing point.

"Bang!"

An accident happened.

As Uozumi's elbow swung down, it struck Akagi's brow bone hard.

Blood gushed out instantly, flowing down Akagi Gouji's face and staining half of his cheek red.

"team leader!"

"Gorilla!"

The Shohoku team members rushed forward with shouts of surprise.

Akagi covered his forehead, blood seeping from between his fingers and dripping onto the shiny floor, a shocking sight.

The referee blew his whistle sharply.

"Timeout! Shohoku requests a timeout!"

Uozumi stood there, stunned, staring at Akagi, whose face was covered in blood.

That fierce aura vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of panic and guilt.

"Akagi... I didn't mean to."

Uozumi awkwardly tried to go forward to check, but was pushed away by Ayako who rushed over.

"Don't touch him! Stop the bleeding immediately!"

Although Ayako is usually feisty, her hands were trembling slightly at this moment.

Akagi sat on the floor, letting Ayako treat his wounds.

He pushed away Kogure, who tried to help him up, his one eye fixed on the scoreboard.

"I'm fine... I just need a band-aid."

"No! The wound is too deep; we need to go to the infirmary!"

Ayako sternly interrupted him, "Do you want to lose too much blood and faint on the field?"

"But……"

Akagi gritted his teeth, looking at the court with resentment.

"Go on, gorilla."

A lazy voice interrupted.

Lin Bei stood to the side with his hands in his pockets.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

"Leave this to us."

"and……"

"Your successor is already impatient."

Lin Bei pointed to Sakuragi, who was standing next to him, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Gorilla! Go ahead and don't worry!"

"Leave the paint to this genius! I'll knock that monkey boss flying!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi thumped his chest, making a loud thud.

Akagi looked at Sakuragi's eyes, which showed no fear and even seemed eager to try, and remained silent for two seconds.

"Sakuragi." Akagi's voice was deep.

"what?"

"Defend the paint."

"Don't embarrass Shohoku."
