Sakuragi, who was already counting down in Kobe, first said goodbye to his teammates and Coach Ohki at the team's training gym, and then came to the dormitory to pack his luggage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During this time, Kawaguchi made a surprise visit.

Originally, Kawaguchi wanted to say goodbye to Sakuragi, but Sakuragi didn't seem to appreciate it, and he should still be angry about the previous trading incident.

The conversation between the two sides eventually broke up.

"Sakuragi, don't say that, we~~"

"Okay, I think it's time for me to go, we'll see you soon, take care, general manager, Mr. Kawaguchi~~"

Sakuragi interrupted Kawaguchi's words, then directly picked up the suitcase and walked towards the door, just like that, without looking back, he walked away firmly.

"Eh~~, Sakuragi, good luck, I believe that one day in the future, you will definitely understand my ~~"

Kawaguchi looked at the back of Sakuragi who came out of the door, and said with some sadness.

After leaving the dormitory, Sakuragi did not leave Kobe directly with his team. Instead, I came to the Kobe City Radio.

Perhaps Sakuragi wanted to use the sound of the radio to say his final goodbye to the whole of Kobe.

"Listeners and friends, today we have a mysterious guest in our studio."

The radio host introduced it.

"He has dedicated five years of his youth to the city of Kobe, he has overcome obstacles for this city, he has sweated for this city, he has given everything for this city. Although he is about to leave the city now, but we in Kobe is a city with love, know how to love, and know how to return love, we will always remember him, the former Kobe Jaguar basketball team, the main player - Sakuragi Hanamichi~!! ”

After the host's string, Sakuragi's Mike opened.

"Louder, louder, it's Sakuragi Hanamichi~!!"

"Didn't this guy just be traded away by the team, alas, it's a pity~"

"It's Sakuragi Hanamichi, I like to watch him play, eh, I don't know what the Jaguar team management thinks~!!"

People who were driving on the road listened to the car radio and started talking.

Perhaps this way is to allow more people to hear Sakuragi's heart and Sakuragi's parting words for the city.

"Hi, everyone, I'm Sakuragi Hanamichi, well, I know that many listeners are driving, so, everyone must drive safely and be safe on the road~~"

Sakuragi is still quite considerate.

After a pause, Sakuragi began to say: "Well~~ Actually, I'm not a native of Kobe, I'm a native of Kanagawa, so this is not my hometown, but, for Kobe, I have another feeling, this feeling is not so many feelings, not so many complicated things, maybe many years later, for Kobe, I will feel like this, but now, there really isn't, but since I came to Kobe five years ago, I have begun to regard this place as my home~!! My second hometown~!! Because here, I struggled for five years, and this is where my career dream began, where I used to make a promise. ”

"Promise~?? What is the promise?? ”

It seems that the anchor doesn't seem to know much about the situation.

"It was an afternoon during the season, for some personal reasons, I was a little lost, and that may be a low point in my life~~"

What Sakuragi said was exactly what happened after he came to the center of Kobe in despair on the day he was rejected by Haruko~~~

"Hey! What are you doing with me!?? What should I do, what should I do!! ”

Sakuragi didn't look back, he just heard very consistent footsteps, and he realized that the passers-by who had just greeted him were following!

"We're worried about your !!"

"Something must have happened to you!"

"Tell us we can help you!!"

Passers-by who were following Sakuragi also stopped and said.

"No kidding, you don't understand anything, help me with something!"

Sakuragi seemed very irritable.

"Sakuragi! You're not alone, and we!! ”

The small team also shouted slogans!

Sakuragi turned his head, ignored it, and continued to walk forward, but how could Sakuragi know that before he knew it, Sakuragi had walked to the center of Kobe, the downtown area!

"What the hell are you going to do!! What are you doing with me!! ”

Sakuragi is frantic and shouting!

"You are Sakuragi Hanamichi, a member of the Kobe Jaguar team, and you are the representative of our city!"

A representative of the crowd stepped forward and said.

"I'm not the only one in the Jaguar team, there is also Rukawa Kaede, he is more handsome than me, and his football skills are better, you go with him!!"

"You're wrong! Sakuragi Hanamichi, you have something that Rukawa Kaede doesn't have, and your optimism and self-confidence are deeply inspiring to us! Never flinched from difficulties, especially in this year's Slam Dunk contest, you showed us what the power of perseverance is! You fight for the honor of this city! If you feel that the strength is not enough, then count me as one, I hope to give you more strength! ”

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

More and more people were encouraged to speak.

"Everyone~~~!! Thank you! I'm going to bring a champion to the city! I swear I'm going to bring a championship to this city!! I swear~~~!!!! ”

Every season since, Sakuragi has been going all out to achieve this goal, although a lot of unexpected things have happened, so that this goal has never been achieved, and even has not reached the finals, but Sakuragi's seriousness, Sakuragi's hard work, Sakuragi's persistence, everyone who pays attention to the Jaguar team's games, are in their eyes.

Especially when Sakuragi advanced to the playoffs with a three-point kill, Sakuragi was the hero of the entire city.

If the process can be clear-minded, then the result is more like a process.

Sakuragi also made a parting speech in the live radio room: "Now I still want to say sorry, I'm sorry I didn't fulfill my promise to leave, I don't want to be a deserter, it's just, the rivers and lakes are too big, the world is unpredictable, I like the city of Kobe, I like the people here in Kobe, thank you for giving me so much motivation, so much encouragement, so much encouragement, these five years have left me with such a good time, these are five years that I will never forget, these five years, it is you, let me from a boy, Metamorphosis into a man. ”

Sakuragi choked up a little again when he said this.

After a pause, he continued: "Finally, I still want to thank, thank the management for being able to choose me here, thank Coach Oki Ichishimoto for his careful cultivation in the past five years, thank you to the swimming coach Mr. Maekawa Enhang, you let my injury get the greatest recovery, thank you to every teammate I believe that every night, we are all trying our best to fight for this city, no matter whether we win or lose~~ teammates who have been doing so many years, suddenly want to separate, it is still a little unnatural, haha, don't say it, by the way, I also want to thank us for this station, it is really an honor to give me such an opportunity, and finally of course I want to thank every fan, you are so cute, you are the strongest backing of the team, although I can't name each of you, but, the trust you gave me, I will always remember~!! I want to say too much, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will slowly tell you about it, goodbye, Kobe~!! (To be continued.) )
