Chapter 1000: I Want to Play Basketball

"Coach, I want to play basketball~~"

I think back then, the prodigal son Mitsui, because of this sentence, was taken in by Coach Anzai, and Mitsui also returned to the basketball team after more than two years and became a "slam dunk master" again.

Although from a practical point of view, Mitsui Shou is not a "slam dunk master", but a "long-range shooting master", but as a member of the team, Mitsui restarted his "dream journey" after wearing the No. 14 jersey again in Xiangbei High School.

At that time, Mitsui was training hard and wanted to get back all those lost moments, and Mitsui also wanted to help the team achieve more victories and help Akagi fulfill his dream of "dominating the country".

Although it was not realized at that time, everyone knows that if there was no Mitsui's outside play, maybe the Xiangbei team would not even be able to enter the national competition~~

No one could have imagined that the former prodigal boy, because of basketball, would become the man who insisted on playing even though he had collapsed to the point that he couldn't open a bottle of cans.

This is the charm of basketball, and this is the charm of Mitsui as a "man".

After graduating from Xiangbei, Mitsui sealed his No. 14 shirt, and then came to the Kobe Jaguar team and played in the professional league, but Mitsui still chose No. 14. After a seven-year career, Mitsui, who retired due to injury, collected another No. 14 shirt.

Now, Mitsui, who is 32 years old, seems to want to re-emerge from the "No. 14".

After getting the approval of Coach Anthy and the commitment of the hospital, there was only the opposition of the mother.

But when Sakuragi knelt down, many problems were already solved~~

"Mom, five years ago, I listened to you, thank you very much, let me still be very healthy, and very happy to enjoy life, but, I think, this time, I want to do it myself, and you should also see, I am now recovering well, I can go back there, I can try again, even if it's just a game, even if it's just a round, I don't want to leave myself with regrets, you know, if I can't achieve this wish this time, I may regret it for life~~"

Mitsui still knelt on the ground and said, with tears in his eyes as he spoke~~

Five years ago, the league was still the world of the Antlers, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were still in the Jaguars, and there were not so many teams in the league at that time, and Mitsui may not know if he can adapt to the rhythm of today's league, but one thing is certain: Mitsui is coming back~!!

Putting down the photo, Mitsui came to the wardrobe and opened the wardrobe, there were only a few sportswear in it, but there was a box that was very eye-catching, it was like a high-end suit.

Mitsui took out his very solemn feeling and put it on the table.

Both hands opened the lid of the box, and a very conspicuous number appeared in front of him, "14", this number that had been sealed for five years.

"I'm back~!!"

Mitsui looked in the mirror and clenched his fists, as if he had returned to the basketball court under the influence of Coach Anzai~~

Because the regular season is coming to an end this season, and given the intensity of the playoffs, even if Mitsui completes the signing, it is believed that he will only be able to appear in the regular season, and no one risks letting this player who has not played professionally in five years carry the team in the playoffs.

Mitsui found his former agency, and the agency quickly arranged some team tryouts for Mitsui.

Not to mention, Mitsui, the "veteran" of "Erjin Palace", has really attracted the interest of some teams, including people like Tokyo Rising Sun and Tokyo Great White Shark have a strong interest in it~~

"Haha, junior, are you really coming back~!?? Hahaha~!! I really can't imagine it~!! Come here~!! Let's go for the championship, come on~!! Primary 3~!! ”

Sakuragi, who heard the news, excitedly called Mitsui and recruited him by the way.

However, Mitsui's comeback this time is not a champion, nor is it a friendship, Mitsui just wants to enjoy it once.

So the only team Mitsui wants to join is his hometown team Yokohama Marinos.

Even though his old club, the Kobe Jaguar team, was very eager for Mitsui to join, Kawaguchi even paid a visit.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation and the Takayama boss, the Jaguar team has an indelible place in my heart, one day in the future, if the team needs to use me, I think I will dedicate myself to this team without reservation~~"

Mitsui's reply, the attitude is obvious~~

Mitsui knows that his role is already very limited, and the Jaguar team is already effective enough, and in his hometown, he may be able to fulfill his "hometown dream".

It's not just a "hometown dream", but also too many dreams~~

A contract is a contract, and no one knows what Mitsui's state is.

Perhaps only those students in Xiangbei High School, those students who secretly see the lights on in the training hall every night, and those students who watch Mitsui sweat like rain and practice know how Mitsui's state is restored~~

At least in terms of weight, Mitsui has lost nearly 30 pounds.

Soon, near the end of the regular season, with the Mariners no longer having any hope of making the playoffs, the Yokohama Mariners signed Mitsui to a 10-day contract with the veteran.

Mitsui Shou, the man who "almost gave his life" for basketball, is about to return to his hometown.

It was also after many years that Mitsui finally fought side by side with old teammates such as Miyagi Ryota and Ki Twi Gongyan again~~

The Mariners quickly held a press conference for Mitsui, and Mitsui showed off his new jersey, which was still No. 14, but it had become white and blue, but Mitsui was still the same Mitsui.

Mitsui, who has a ten-day contract, actually only has two games to play, but Mitsui is still preparing seriously, training with the team every day, participating in strength training together, and he doesn't look like a player who has not competed professionally for five years.

Soon, Mitsui's comeback battle is coming~~

"Mitsui, it's nice to see you back~!!"

In the locker room before the game, Miyagi looked at Mitsui, who had already changed into his jersey, and sighed.

"It's still the previous tactics, you know, take a look, whether the sword is old, or the knife is not old~~"

Mitsui is seriously wrapping a bandage around his wrist, and it can be seen that Mitsui is really preparing seriously.

"Haha, this feeling is like returning to Xiangbei, what a nostalgic old time, time, time, you go slowly~~"

Mu Du sat on the side, looked at the two of them, and sighed.

The Mariners, who already had no playoff hopes, had a very dismal home attendance in the previous games, but because of Mitsui, the Nissan Arena was once again on fire, just like the team's opener game last season.

Once again, the auditorium was crowded with restlessness.

Puff~~Puff~~Puff~~Puff~"

In the player's tunnel, Mitsui's heartbeat rate is soaring like a falling cloud flying car, and in five years, Mitsui has fantasized about this moment too many times.

"Entered the league in 2004, played for the Kobe Jaguar from 2004 to 2010, scoring guard, from Kanagawa, from Xiangbei High School, and made his comeback debut after retiring, No. 14~!!!!!!!!! Three~!!!! Well~!!!! Longevity~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”
