It's not that the two don't want to take a taxi, but they don't have much money on them, not to mention that the gymnasium of the Xiangbei competition is not too far away.

"Yuzhu, come on, it's almost here!" Not long after, a gymnasium with a small area appeared in Chishang's eyes, and Chishang hurriedly turned his head to encourage the panting Yuzhu behind.

"Ikegami, slow down, don't you feel tired? We just played a game!"

"I don't feel much! Hurry up, or you might be late!"

Ikegami in the original book was originally a physical monster, in terms of physical strength, it can be said that it is the crown of Lingnan, even in Kanagawa can be compared to Sakuragi, Maki, Naito Tetsuya, after all, Ikegami is Lingnan's defensive spearhead, defense often consumes more physical energy than offense, and Ikegami is the kind of player who makes up for where he misses.

In addition, after three months of Kobe-style training method, Chishang has already made further progress on the basis of his original physical fitness, so he doesn't feel much about it.

"Monster!" looked at the pond that was not breathing, and Yuzhu spit out these two words with difficulty, although he knew that Ikesami's physical strength was very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. However, when I thought that I might miss the game in Xiangbei if I was late, Yuzhu could only catch up.

By the time the two arrived at the gymnasium, the game was coming to an end.

"Hey, this back is a little familiar...... As soon as he entered the gymnasium, Ikegami's gaze involuntarily fell on a teenager in a tracksuit with a cane in his hand.

The boy was Mitsui Shou, who had suffered a knee injury, and his hands were clutching the railing tightly, and his complexion was quite bad. And just as Ikegami was looking at him, Mitsui Shou just sighed lightly, turned around with a lonely face, and was about to leave.

As soon as he turned around, Mitsui Shou's eyes subconsciously fell on the two of them, and it was really Yuzumi's figure that was too conspicuous.

However, Mitsui Shou, who was now more sad than dead, just glanced at Yuzumi, and then his eyes fell on Ikegami, who recognized Ryoji Ikegami, who gave him a headache in the national finals a few months ago.

In that game, under the single defense of Ryoji Ikegami, Mitsui Shouhuo, whose physical fitness can only be regarded as the middle and upper level, has dropped greatly, and the score of the whole game has not reached 20. If it weren't for the final kill, it would have been Kuninaka Yokota Ikegami who would have won the match.

"Ryoji Ikegami! It turns out that you joined Lingnan!" Seeing the Lingnan logo outside Ikegami's sportswear, Mitsui was a little surprised, he thought that with Ikegami's defensive level and physical fitness, even if he went to Hainan and Xiangyang, he was likely to become a starter in the future, and he could become a permanent replacement at the worst, but he didn't expect Ikegami to choose Lingnan in the top eight.

"Mitsui Shou, this is nothing surprising, didn't you also join Xiangbei? What, your foot is injured?"

Ikegami was naturally quite aware of Mitsui's injuries, but he still asked knowingly. He naturally hoped that the flame man Mitsui Shou could regain his strength, so as to avoid the two-year hollow period. And his idea is very simple, that is, to defeat Mitsui Shou at his peak, which is the obsession that the original Ikegami desires the most in his heart.

"Hmph!" Mitsui Shou snorted coldly, did not answer, and limped away from Ikegami while holding on to his crutches.

"It's a pity, it seems that you are no longer the Mitsui Shou you used to be, even such a small setback can defeat you, the MVP of the country is not worthy of the name!"

When Mitsui Shou left Ikegami's side, Ikegami didn't say much, but it obviously stimulated Mitsui Shou.

"Bastard, you dare to say it again!"

Furious and disheartened, Mitsui Shou obviously lost his mind, and his clenched fists wanted to attack Ikegami.

Syllable!

Ikegami's eyes are quick, and he grabs Mitsui Shou's fist with one hand, so that he can't move anymore!

"Damn, what are you doing!" Yuzhu, who was a little sluggish on the side, burst into tears, watching Mitsui Shou attack his friend, and raised his fist the size of a casserole.

With Uozui's strength and stature, if this punch hits, Mitsui Shou will probably be knocked out in one fell swoop, you must know that Uozui is stronger than Tetsuo two years later in terms of weight and strength.

"Yuzhu, stop!" Ikegami's empty left hand grabbed Yuzumi's shoulder, barely stopping Yuzumi's attack. Although the strength on the pond is similar to that of Yuzhu, it is a little reluctant to withstand the height and strength of Yuzhu.

"But ......" Yuzhu wanted to say something, but he had to give up after seeing Ikegami's gestured eyes, but he still glared at Mitsui Shou fiercely.

For Yuzhu's move, Mitsui Shou didn't panic It was fake, just Yuju's height and figure knew that he was strong and strong, and with Mitsui Shou's relatively 'weak' physique, he was afraid that he would be able to lie in the hospital with a punch, so after seeing Yuzhu being stopped by Ikegami, Mitsui Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Annoyed and angry, Mitsui Shou, it seems that you only have such a little backbone, but your knee is injured and your leg is not broken; it's just that you can't participate in the county competition this year, and it doesn't mean that you won't be able to participate in the future! What about your ambitions, what about your ideals, I heard that when you entered Xiangbei, you said that you would lead Xiangbei to dominate the country, but at present, it seems that this is just a joke!"

Ikegami's words can be described as pressing step by step, hitting Mitsui Shou deep in his heart.

Mitsui Shou's face is a little pale, in fact, in the final analysis, his willpower is not firm now, otherwise he would not have given up basketball because of his knee injury and discouragement!

He thought of the hard training in his usual life, the hope in the eyes of his teammates, and the encouragement of Coach Anxi in the national finals!

You must not give up until the last minute, and if you give up now, it will be equivalent to ending the game early!

This sentence echoed in Mitsui's mind, and then the kind smile of Coach Anzai appeared. Yes, as Ikegami said, it's just a knee injury, not a broken leg, just recuperate for a while, but I can't participate in the county competition this year, and it's not that I can't participate in it again for the rest of my life, so I'll come back next year!

As soon as Ikegami said this, Mitsui Shou, who was originally very lonely, became brighter and brighter, and in the end, he was defeated by himself. Perhaps it was the success that has always been and the glory of the middle school period that made his self-esteem burst, and he could not easily accept failure, afraid of seeing the disappointed eyes of his teammates, and this was the main reason why he gave up easily.

"You're right, how can I, Mitsui Shou, be easily defeated! Ikegami, you wait, the next time we meet, you will see a different Mitsui Shou!"

Seeing Mitsui Shou regain his self-confidence, Ikegami shrugged his shoulders and walked to the front stand with Yuzumi, he knew that Mitsui Shou no longer needed him to continue to enlighten.

He didn't feel worried about reawakening a strong enemy, because he knew very well that even if Mitsui Shou, Akagi Goken, and Miyagi participated in the county competition next year, the strength of the other people in Xiangbei was too weak, and at most they could only become the top four in the county competition! As for two years later, Ikegami was very sure that Lingnan's lineup would be much stronger than it is now, and his personal strength would also be sublimated to another level.

In addition, Ikegami is still looking forward to the extent of Mitsui Shou, who does not have a two-year blank period. However, thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of Mitsui Shou, Ikegami thinks that the strength of Mitsui Shou at that time should be about the same as that of Mu Shenichi. After all, compared to other top basketball players, Mitsui Shou's physical fitness is a hard injury, and his advantage is an unusually soft hand and a sense of the overall situation.
