Chapter 131: The Bet with Ayako
The Jaguar team set a team goal for the new season at the action meeting before the start of the new season.
Manager Kawaguchi has set a goal to be better than before!
After that, Coach Ohki refined this concept and turned it into a "shock championship"!!
In this case, the Jaguar team began the journey of the new season.
The Jaguar team's first game of the new season was to challenge the Osaka Iron Horse away from home, and Akagi watched from the sidelines for safety reasons.
But after the opening, the Jaguar team played well, especially Miyagi, with full firepower on the outside, hitting two three-pointers in a row.
Miyagi came to the front court with the ball, and it was the veteran Kataoka Pekuri who defended Miyagi.
The veteran's attitude is still very upright, staring at Miyagi tightly.
Miyagi slowly moved towards the three-point line, and after communicating with Sakuragi with his eyes, Sakuragi immediately mentioned that he was going to do a block and dismantle on the line, so he was Kataoka holding Sakuragi, wanting to bypass the defense in advance!!
"What!!"
But Kataoka made a mistake, because at this moment, Miyagi didn't use this block at all, but directly shot with three points!!
"Brush~~!!"
Triple Hit!!
"Miyagi's progress is largely due to the radical refinement of his shooting stance. Miyagi's shooting posture was a bit like a big player's appearance before, his arms were stiff, and he completely used his wrists to exert force, the advantage of such a shot is that it is difficult to be interfered with, but the softness is another matter!!, and it is difficult to shoot from a distance in such a posture, so Miyagi's previous outside shooting rate has been very low, and the shooting rate outside the three-point line last season was only 28.3%!! This offseason, we have equipped Miyagi with a special shooting trainer, and changed Miyagi's shooting to a guard-type shot, making full use of the strength of the whole arm to exert force, so that the ball thrown is softer and more grasped!!"
Coach Oki told the secret of Miyagi's three-point shot.
Take a closer look, Miyagi's improved shooting is really a bit like Wang 7 - Wang Shipeng!! Super high arc, strong backspin!!
"Miyagi is really energetic!!Oh oh!!!I hit three three-pointers in a row, I really didn't expect it!!Last season, Miyagi was a point guard who averaged only 7.6 points per game, but now he has scored 9 points!!It seems that Miyagi didn't waste this offseason!!"
The commentary at the scene also began to praise Miyagi.
"Toot ~~, the Iron Horse team requests a timeout!!"
The Iron Horse Team is indeed a little passive, and the most important thing is that for Miyagi, the Iron Horse Team needs to be seriously armed!!
"Look at it, Ayako!!I'll do it!!"
Miyagi, who was resting on the bench, said in his heart.
Wait, Ayako??!! wasn't that the leader of Xiangbei back then, wasn't that the goal that Miyagi pursued back then!!
Could it be that Miyagi's shooting has other factors besides the improvement of the technical level??!!
Rewind the off-season and the Jaguar players are already enjoying their holidays!!
Sakuragi and Twilight went to Kanagawa to visit Coach Anzai. Akagi is being trained in swimming, Mitsui is going to travel again!!Rukawa Kaede ,,, he doesn't know,,,
And Miyagi ,,, Miyagi's offseason should have said a lot of meaning!!
Because Miyagi is accomplishing something as important in his life as basketball - a lifelong event!!
"Hey~~, Miyagi!!Not late, right??"
"No, we're both early!!Sit down, Ayako!!"
It turned out to be Ayako!!
Ayako, who hasn't been seen for a long time, is simply a different person, when she was in high school, she had long curly hair, sexy lips, and looked very mature, and now Ayako has long big waves, and she still has that Western face, wearing a red tight dress and black heels, which looks more mature and charming!!
Miyagi invites Ayako to a western restaurant, and the warm candlelight lunch is about to begin!!
In high school, Miyagi has always coveted Ayako, who was the leader of the Xiangbei basketball team at the time, although he didn't take the initiative to pursue it, but it seems that Ayako can also understand Miyagi's heart!!
After graduating from high school, Ayako was admitted to a prestigious university and majored in international trade.
The two did not distance themselves from each other after their high school separation, and Miyagi often took advantage of the opportunity to play away games in Tokyo, to Ayako's university, or to offseasons like the current one.
It can be said that Miyagi has always been consistent in his focus on Ayako over the years!!
And Ayako probably hasn't had a boyfriend either, so Miyagi's chances have always been there!!
After ordering a meal, the two chatted.
"How's Akagi??"
It seems that Ayako has been keeping an eye on the Jaguar team, after all, everyone in the team is closely related to Ayako!!
"Recovering well!!"
"What about you, you're about to intern!!"
Miyagi asked rhetorically.
"Yes, my dad went on a business trip to the United States at the beginning of the year and wanted to take me, at first I didn't want to go, but now it doesn't matter, I'm about to leave school anyway, my mom is also busy with her career, running around the country, and I have no relatives or no reason, so it's better to go to the United States to find my dad!!"
"You've decided??"
Miyagi was a little nervous when she heard Ayako say this.
"It's decided, the tickets are all booked!!"
"It's too sudden,,,"
Miyagi was really a little unprepared in the face of Ayako's sudden decision, and Miyagi wanted to have a good chat at the dinner table, but now it seems that Miyagi is already absent-minded, and his mind is full of thoughts about Ayako's imminent departure.
"What's wrong with you??Miyagi, are you uncomfortable??"
Looking at Miyagi's suddenly depressed appearance, Ayako asked.
"No, nothing ,,,"
A romantic candlelit lunch turns into an eerie lunch.
"Hello dear travelers,,,,!
Three days later, Ayako arrived at the airport and was about to board a flight to the United States!!
"He still hasn't come,,,, eh, forget it,,, maybe I'm thinking too much!!"
Ayako told Miyagi about her flight number and departure time in advance, perhaps wanting Miyagi to send her again, but it seems that Miyagi didn't seem to understand.
Ayako has passed the security check and is about to walk to the tarmac.
"Ayako~~!! Ayako~~!!!Hey~~!!"
I saw a figure rushing from a distance and shouting at Ayako.
"Miyagi !!"
Sure enough, it's Miyagi.,Miyagi finally appeared in front of Ayako at the last moment.,Maybe Miyagi has already thought about it.,But the two are about to separate!!
"Miyagi,,, you're really here!!"
Ayako returned to the security checkpoint, and the two looked at each other through the guardrail.
"Ayako, I didn't expect you to leave so soon, in fact, there was still a lot to say in the restaurant before,,, but I ,,, I don't know how to talk about it,,,"
Miyagi ran all the way over and was nervous, and he was already sweating profusely.
"Miyagi,,,, have a chance to contact again!!"
Looking at such a Miyagi, Ayako also has some unspeakable feelings.
"Ayako!!I like you~~!!"
Miyagi lowered his head and said extremely shyly. This man, who has been silently guarding Ayako since the beginning of high school, finally said the most important sentence for Miyagi hidden in his heart when he was about to separate!!
"Hum ~~"
Ayako also lowered her head and smiled and laughed.
"Silly boy, look at me!!"
Ayako raised her head first, looking at Miyagi, who was still looking down and red-faced, and said.
"I said, why are you so stupid~~!!, do you have to cherish it when you see it lost??"
It seems that Ayako was not flustered or moved by Miyagi's monologue.
"Maybe when you are about to lose it, you will realize how precious it is!!"
Miyagi raised his head, looked at Ayako, and said sincerely.
"You can't believe you can say such a thing!!"
"Ayako!!Be my girlfriend!!I know I'm stupid, I can't be romantic, but I believe I know you best, I know you best!!After so many years, I ,,,"
"Alright, alright!!Don't talk about Miyagi, I'm going to miss the plane if I don't leave!!"
Ayako didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and directly interrupted Miyagi's confession!!
"I don't have time to reminisce about the past with you, so let's make a bet, if you can score 70 three-pointers next season, I'll promise you!!?"
Ayako made her own request.
