Slam Dunk:Starting with perfect copy

Taoka Moichi didn't say anything; he just stared silently at Kenichi Uesugi. 

Not bad? Indeed, he seemed to be better than what he expected just now—not like a pure rookie. However, this ability alone was definitely not enough to satisfy Taoka Moichi.

"Will there be anything else about you that will surprise me?"

After winning the jump ball, Kenichi Uesugi ran directly to his position under the basket. In his opinion, winning the jump ball was not a big deal. Makoto Masaru's jumping ability was indeed good, but that applied only to ordinary players.

He has the same physical condition as Kise Ryōta. You know, Kise Ryōta is one of the five players from the Miracle Era. In addition to having a unique imitation ability,

he is also an extremely comprehensive all-rounder. His abilities in all aspects are almost top-notch. Especially in terms of jumping, he is even worthy of Kagami, who is famous for his jumping ability! If he can't handle a junior high school substitute, then he is not worthy of being a miracle!

With Kenichi Uesugi winning the jump ball, the red team got the chance to attack first. However, when Kenichi Uesugi came to the basket to support his teammates' attack, he found that his teammates seemed to have encountered new problems. The teammate who got the ball on the outside was short, and his ball control ability seemed relatively poor; it seemed that he would lose the ball at any time.

With no other option, this teammate had to pass the ball to Aida Hikoichi on the other side. Aida Hikoichi was not much better than him. He was defending another player recruited by Taoka Moichi, named Kazuki Kishino. Kazuki was closely guarding Aida Hikoichi, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although Aida Hikoichi wanted to pass the ball to Kenichi Uesugi in the interior, facing Kazuki Kishino's tight defense, he could not find any good passing route.

Not only that, due to poor basic skills, Aida Hikoichi almost made a mistake when dribbling. He dribbled the ball directly to his feet but reacted quickly and immediately snatched the basketball back. Otherwise, he would have given the ball to the opponent in vain.

Seeing this scene on the court, the veteran players of the Ryonan team outside the court shook their heads. This year's newcomers are really bad. They can't even dribble. They are really disappointed! They are still fantasizing about having another newcomer of Sendoh's level!

Just when Aida Hikoichi was in despair, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Pass the ball to me!"

Aida Hikoichi looked up and found that the person approaching was Kenichi Uesugi. It turned out that Kenichi Uesugi had decisively come over to support his teammates after noticing that those on the outside line could not launch an attack.

When Aida Hikoichi saw Kenichi Uesugi, he felt as if he were seeing a savior. He quickly passed the hot potato in his hand to Kenichi Uesugi. Even though the distance between the two was not far, his pass nearly went wrong. If Kenichi Uesugi had not reacted quickly and reached out to regain possession, the basketball would have gone directly out of bounds.

When Kenichi Uesugi held the ball and prepared to attack, he noticed that Kazuki Kishino, who was originally defending Aida Hikoichi, had come in front of him and was closely guarding him. It was clear that he was not going to let him pass easily.

Long before the game started, Makoto Masaru had informed Kazuki Kishino that these newcomers were all players with poor basic skills and were not on the same level as the two of them. This game was essentially just an exhibition match between the two of them. From the situation earlier, it seemed that Makoto Masaru was right.

An opponent who couldn't even hold the ball steadily was only worthy of being his supporting role. Thus, he didn't take Uesugi Kenichi, who was holding the ball and preparing to attack, seriously. Jumping high doesn't mean you are also strong in other aspects.

Looking at the slightly contemptuous eyes of Kazuki Kishino on the opposite side, Uesugi Kenichi smiled lightly,

intending to teach him a lesson. He dribbled the ball steadily, and while gradually increasing the pace of dribbling, he also observed Kazuki Kishino's defense.

Seeing his skillful dribbling rhythm, Uekusa and others outside the court began to praise him.

"This guy seems to have good basic skills."

"Yeah! At least he won't lose the ball while dribbling. What were those two just now?"

"I hope he can have an outstanding performance; otherwise, this class of newcomers is truly unbearable to watch!"

Just then, Uesugi Kenichi moved. He first

made a feint to the left and then quickly changed direction to accelerate and break through from the right side of Kazuki Kishino.

Uesugi Kenichi's series of actions were very coherent,

and his speed was extremely fast, leaving Kazuki Kishino with no time to react defensively. He stood there in disbelief, thinking, What just happened? I was broken through just like that?

Off the court, Uesugi Kenichi's brilliant breakthrough suddenly brightened the eyes of Taoka Moichi, who had originally had little hope for this group of newcomers.

"Sure enough, he actually has something that surprised me."

Not only does he possess good physical condition and amazing jumping ability, but his breakthrough is also very smooth. It seems

that he is genuinely a promising talent!

Taoka Moichi gradually began to take an interest in Kenichi Uesugi!

"Beautiful! That breakthrough was very sharp!"

"Yeah! This guy looks good! It seems that this breakthrough has some of Sendoh's shadow!"

The veteran players of Ryonan also praised Kenichi Uesugi's wonderful breakthrough. Among the crowd, only Sendoh's expression was a little strange. He kept his eyes on Kenichi Uesugi, and a trace of doubt emerged in his mind. Kenichi Uesugi's breakthrough just now felt very familiar to him, as if it were the same action he had just made.

On the court, after Kazuki Kishino completed a breakthrough on the opposite side, Kenichi Uesugi did not stop his pace but continued to accelerate straight toward the enemy's basket.

Just as he jumped up, preparing to complete the dunk, a blue figure quickly appeared and blocked him directly. It was Masayoshi Masaaki, who had just lost the jump ball to him. His movements were relatively agile.

Upon seeing Kenichi Uesugi break through Kazuki Kishino's defense, he rushed to defend against him.

Having recently lost the jump ball to Kenichi Uesugi, Masayoshi Masaaki felt humiliated and was unwilling to admit that he had lost to the newcomer so easily. Therefore, he tried his best to stop Kenichi Uesugi's attack to save face.

Just when he found an opportunity in the air to reach out and block the basketball in Kenichi Uesugi's hands, Kenichi Uesugi suddenly pulled back his hands that were about to complete the dunk, then flew directly under the basket at an incredible angle, and finally, with a beautiful pull-up lever,

backhanded the basketball into the net!

The ball that passed through the hoop happened to hit Kazuki Kishino on the head.

"Sorry, I haven't played basketball for a while, and I'm a little rusty
