Chapter 149: Countdown to the Playoffs

After the All-Star break, there is still half of the regular season left, and although it is not yet the final stage, the teams have begun to prepare for the playoffs.

And one of the best ways to prepare for the playoffs is to run in the roster and cultivate tacit understanding in order to produce the best chemistry!!

That's the case with Team Jaguar.

But Sakuragi has two hearts, and since he met the female cheerleader Minasin Sugi because of a manslaughter, Sakuragi has not been able to forget it for a long time.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Sakuragi came to the venue where Sugi usually trains.

Without seeing anyone, Sakuragi finally mustered up the courage, took out the phone, and called Sugi.

But the appearance of Mitsui has changed the flavor of these things.

The phone was dialed, but ,,,,

"It's Mitsui, why are you here!!"

"I'm going to the infirmary, tie my ankles, and get ready for the afternoon training!!"

"Hey!!Sakuragi-kun??Can you hear me!!Hey??Sakuragi-kun??What's going on,,,"

Sakuragi originally wanted to hide Mitsui and hung up the phone, but it didn't work.

So this begs Shanqi's question.

"Damn little san, you actually ruined my good deeds!!"

After separating from Mitsui, Sakuragi said resentfully.

Sakuragi, who was looking at his phone, was also hesitating, whether he should call the phone back again!!

And now there is another question, Sakuragi knows if the phone has been dialed just now!!

"Is there something wrong with Sakuragi-kun, or is it wrong??"

Shanqi was also worried.

"Isn't it just a phone call, isn't it over when you call!!"

Sugi seemed to have figured it out, picked up the phone, and dialed Sakuragi's number.

"Hey~~!!Shanqi, what's the matter?"

Sakuragi quickly answered the phone, and there was a hint of stupidity in his tone.

"Huh??Isn't it, Sakuragi-kun, you called me first!!"

Shanqi replied.

"Huh??No, I didn't even look at my phone!"

It seems that Sakuragi really didn't know that the previous call had been dialed!!

"I don't believe you'll look at the call logs later, you seem to be still chatting with Mitsui!!"

"Oh~~!!I was indeed chatting with Mitsui just now.,It's really possible that I dialed it out by mistake.,I'm sorry!!!I'm bothering you~!!"

Sakuragi can't hide it anymore!!

"Oh, what a mistake, I thought you had something,,,"

Shanqi said with a slight disappointment.

"Well,,, there's actually something going on!!"

Sakuragi reacted quickly this time and said immediately.

"What's wrong!!"

"It's ,,, it's ,,,"

Sakuragi spun his brain quickly, thinking about something that could be related to Sugi.

"That's it, your injuries are healed!!"

“,,,,,”

As soon as Sakuragi's words came out, the conversation between the two instantly fell to a freezing point.

It seems that Sakuragi's flying brain doesn't think of too good topics.

"Big brother~~!!It's been almost two months since this incident, can it be bad~~!!"

Shanqi was silent for a while, and said angrily.

"Haha,yes,,Hahaha~~"

Sakuragi smiled awkwardly.

"Hey!!Shanqi!!What are you doing??"

A rough man's voice suddenly came from Sakuragi's phone.

"Are you busy??"

Sakuragi asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, that's my uncle, our family dinner, if it's really nothing, goodbye~~!!"

Shanqi said in a quickened tone.

"Oh, that's good, have fun, again, toot ,,,,"

Before Sakuragi finished speaking, Sugi had already hung up the phone.

"This guy, is he so greedy!!"

Sakuragi Sakuragi put down the phone and sighed.

"If it's a foodie, let's ask her to eat next time!!haha~~!!"

Sakuragi put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely towards the training hall.

Having a phone call with Sugi can be regarded as relieving Sakuragi's longing,,,,

"Twitter, twitter, twitter,,,"

In the training hall, the players sweated like rain, preparing for one regular season game after another.

"Wow~~!!"

"Wow~~!!"

"Wow~~!!"

"Wow~~!!"

The final whistle sound one after another means that the regular season is over one after another, and the game after game is over, and it means that the pace of the playoffs is getting closer and closer!!

The Jaguar team was in great shape in the second half of the All-Star break, just like the name of the team, and the "good news" was frequent.

In terms of rankings, not only do they firmly occupy the top eight positions, but they are also likely to get home advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

You know, home advantage in the playoffs isn't as illusory as it was in the regular season.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi broke through, facing the defender, here it is!! Sakuragi Hanamichi's European step!!!haha!!Easily deceived the defender, and hit a solid layup!!"

"Sakuragi Hanamichi took the ball again, ran all the way, and hit the basket!!"

“Duang~~!!”

The spokesperson of the aesthetics of violence - Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Sakuragi is not only more proficient in European steps, but also has not forgotten his greatest characteristic - physical fitness!!

The current Sakuragi is like a Zhang Fei who knows the art of war and can strategize, which is terrifying.

The rest of the Jaguar squad is also in hot form.

Akagi slowly regained his form, from an average of 11.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in the first ten games to a double-double of 18.6 points and 12.3 rebounds after the All-Star break.

Miyagi doesn't need to say much, for that 70 three-pointers, he is still chasing in, no matter whether he succeeds in the end or not, anyway, Miyagi's outside shooting has been practiced to a certain degree of accuracy!!

Mitsui's condition is also good, but for Mitsui, retaining physical fitness is the biggest issue, and when it comes to the playoffs, every game is a bayonet game, and the physical reserve of the players is very high!!

So for Mitsui, who is struggling with physical fitness, for this stage, reserve physical fitness is more important than scoring 20 three-pointers in a game!!

Finally, there is Kaede Rukawa, 24.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals, which is the data that Kaede Rukawa got with the last game left in the regular season.

If the Jaguar team wins the regular season championship, then this season's MVP is destined to be Rukawa Kaede.

After returning from Europe, Rukawa Kaede not only has crazy growth in ball skills and body, but more importantly, Rukawa Kaede will also communicate with his teammates on the field, and will also call his teammates to defend.

Although it is hard to imagine that expressionless, vampire-like guy has emotions, but this is the truth, although Rukawa Kaede is still like that for the most part, you can't deny that he is changing, he is getting better!!

The growth of the ball quotient is the most important thing for Rukawa Kaede!!

"Rukawa Kaede!!Forced a breakthrough in the case of a double bag, strode to the penalty area in all directions, and faced the tall center!!"

It was a last-minute scenario from the Jaguars' final game of the regular season.

"Rukawa Kaede held the center in the air chair, oh no~~!!, it was to carry the center, a wipe shot in his right hand!!"

"Brush~!!"

Enter!!

"Rukawa Kaede's physical fitness is so terrifying that I can't believe it!!I can actually carry the center forward in the air!!"

The narrator said in surprise.

With Rukawa Kaede's domineering goal, the Jaguar team also won the opponent in the final game of the regular season, entered the playoffs with the third place in the regular season, and successfully won the home advantage in the first round.

"Let's see who this year's opponent is!!"

Sakuragi leisurely looked at the playoff charts.

"The sixth place is ,,,Oh oh~~ Great!!" (To be continued.) )
