Playing Basketball In The World of Slam Dunk With A System

Chapter 4: Team Practice

About half an hour later.

Ding: Completed the second stage of the 'Dribbling' task, accumulated 1000 dribbles, achieved the 'Practice Makes Perfect' achievement, and obtained one draw card.

Ding: The third stage of the 'Dribbling' task has been activated, accumulate 10,000 dribbles to complete the task and activate the 'Flowing Like Water' achievement, rewarding one draw card and one attribute point card.

Ding: Obtained the 'Practice Makes Perfect' achievement, would you like to replace the 'Novice on the Road' achievement?

Lin Yu didn't rush to make a decision but first checked the effect of 'Practice Makes Perfect.'

Practice Makes Perfect (Passive Buff): Dribbling speed increased by 20%, running speed increased by 20%, consistency increased by 20%.

"I definitely need to replace this."

Seeing the enhanced effect of 'Practice Makes Perfect,' Lin Yu didn't hesitate anymore.

After replacing the 'Practice Makes Perfect' achievement, Lin Yu didn't continue dribbling practice. Instead, he thought, "The third stage of the dribbling task can't be completed in a short time. I might as well try my luck and see what I can draw this time."

Filled with anticipation, Lin Yu activated the draw card.

Next, the pointer on the prize wheel began to spin rapidly.

Ding: Congratulations, Master, you've drawn the buff card 'Deception Eye.'

Ding: Obtained the 'Deception Eye' buff card, would you like to activate it?

"Activate!"

Without hesitation, Lin Yu responded.

Ding: 'Deception Eye' successfully activated.

Deception Eye (Active Buff): Duration of five minutes, cooldown of one day.

Description: Under the effect of Deception Eye, when the opponent sees your eyes, there is a 100% chance of confusion, making it impossible to judge your actions. A miraculous skill for dribbling past defenders and using fake shots.

"The effect of 'Deception Eye' is somewhat similar to Akashi's 'Emperor Eye.'"

After reading the description of 'Deception Eye,' Lin Yu instinctively thought of Akashi Seijuro's Emperor Eye.

However, his 'Deception Eye' was much weaker in comparison to the 'Emperor Eye.'

But Lin Yu didn't mind. This was a newly acquired ability, and he believed that his future abilities would become even stronger.

Moreover, this was the world of "Slam Dunk," not "Kuroko's Basketball."

If his abilities became too overpowered, he wouldn't be able to explain it. Plus, he could end up being dissected if someone discovered his secret.

As Lin Yu was examining the 'Deception Eye,' a short, round old man with white hair entered the basketball gym at a leisurely pace.

"Coach Anzai!"

Seeing the elderly man entering, Akagi quickly ran towards him and respectfully bowed.

With a benevolent smile, Coach Anzai responded to Akagi, "Akagi, the new students this year are all quite impressive, full of motivation."

"I'm here this time to tell you that our practice match opponent will be Ryonan High School."

Upon hearing Coach Anzai's announcement, Mitsui and the others were quite shocked.

"Ryonan High School, one of the top four in the county tournament last year."

"Wow, Ryonan High School, they're a strong opponent."

"Is this for real?"

...

Mitsui and the others whispered to each other.

"Formation!"

After a brief conversation with Coach Anzai, Akagi gave orders to the team.

Hearing this, Lin Yu and Sakuragi walked over to Mitsui and the others.

Seeing the group gathered together, Coach Anzai nodded in satisfaction and said, "This year, we have many new faces. In that case, let's have an intrasquad scrimmage between the first-year and upperclassmen to see the new students' skills."

Upon hearing Coach Anzai's arrangement, Akagi and the others quickly took action, selecting players for the upcoming match.

As the two sides were about to begin their scrimmage, Lin Yu was quite self-aware and headed to the edge of the court.

Given his current physical condition, he wouldn't be able to play for more than a few minutes on the court. It was better to focus on basic training.

While Lin Yu thought this way, Sakuragi had a different perspective.

Excited about the intrasquad scrimmage between the first-years and upperclassmen, Sakuragi couldn't wait to approach Akagi and said, "Gorilla, the exchange students should focus on basic training. There are only four first-years, and with me, it's just perfect."

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

Sakuragi needed more patience and discipline; otherwise, he might develop a rash desire for quick results.

After a brief hesitation, Akagi turned to Lin Yu and asked, "Lin Yu, how's your recovery? Are you able to participate in the intrasquad scrimmage?"

This statement from Akagi instantly infuriated Sakuragi, and he was on the verge of exploding.

Following this, Sakuragi widened his eyes and glared at Lin Yu, saying, "Exchange student, if you're not feeling well, just rest on the sidelines. Enjoy watching the performance of this genius."

Lin Yu didn't pay any attention to Sakuragi's warning and threats. He considered how to respond to Akagi.

Ding: Triggered a random task. Participate in a five-minute intrasquad scrimmage and acquire the 'Jump Shot' technique.

Upon hearing the system's task notification, Lin Yu didn't hesitate further and nodded to Akagi.

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to enter the game, Sakuragi became anxious. He hurriedly walked over to Lin Yu and said, "Exchange student, are you sure you're okay? I suggest you rest for a while. Wait until I get tired, and then you can replace me."

Lin Yu was well aware of Sakuragi's intentions. He smiled faintly and responded, "I'll join in for a bit. You warm up first. When I get tired, you can take my place."

Lin Yu didn't dare let Sakuragi go onto the court first. He vaguely remembered a scene from the anime where Sakuragi's first basket led to Akagi being knocked over.

If Sakuragi played first, Lin Yu's task would likely be impossible to complete.

"Got it!"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sakuragi's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed without hesitation.

Continuing on, Lin Yu stepped onto the court to participate in the scrimmage between the first-year and upperclassmen teams.
