A: We’ve got a volleyball team in the school. Is anyone in your class good at that? Lucy’s good at playing ball games.
B: Yes. But she’s good at basketball. She’s the best player in my class. She’s very good at scoring goals and she can run fast.

I don’t understand why Speaker B uses ‘but’ not ‘and’. I don’t see the sense of transition but the sense of sequential connection.
What do you say?
