You think you can score with my Snorlax guarding the paint? Dream on!
When Dragonite explained the tactics, he had made one thing clear: Snorlax ruled the paint.
All Snorlax had to do was put the ball in the basket on offense and keep the other team's ball out of theirs on defense.
Snorlax had come through. He had grasped those simple instructions immediately.
As a surprisingly agile big guy, he had his pride!
Guarding the paint was Snorlax's mission!
"Holy shit!"
Snorlax's massive block left the young spectators dumbstruck.
What kind of monster was this? He had blocked an opponent from the free-throw line! That was enough to break the game of basketball!
Normally, a center as big and heavy as Snorlax should have been a defensive liability.
He should have been the easiest player to score on.
Instead, Snorlax had swatted his opponent's shot away!
That made no sense!
"My turn on offense."
Xu Mu took the basketball from outside the court and smiled.
Come on, kid. You think you can win three thousand Pokémon League coins from me? Dream on!
I spend over ten thousand League Coins a day just feeding my Pokémon. You think I'd be stupid enough to hand out money for free?
The three thousand League Coins were just bait.
You think you can beat me? Not a chance.
The match that followed was a spectacle.
Dragonite and Xu Mu barely had to do anything. They just brought the ball past half-court and tossed it into the air.
After that, all they had to do was cheer Snorlax on from the corner!
There was no helping it. At his size, Snorlax was practically a god on the basketball court.
Even if Xiang Yu himself were alive, he could only have watched Snorlax and wept
