The 2008-2009 JBA season came to an end with the Fukuyama Flying Waves defeating the Antlers 4-2 in the finals and winning the first golden basket in the history of the Flying Waves.

The Flying Waves team won the championship is something that many people did not expect, but if the outcome of everything is predictable, then what is the point of the basketball game!

After the offseason arrived, Akagi also began to be busy recovering.

After being advised by a doctor, Akagi decided to follow in Sakuragi's footsteps and go for swimming rehabilitation!!

"It's really good, the muscles quickly regained their former strength!!"

"Then take me there!!"

Hearing Sakuragi say this, Akagi couldn't wait!!

"But ,,,"

Sakuragi hesitated.

"But what??"

The more this happened, the more anxious Akagi became.

"But can orangutans swim??"

"Bastard!! You guy, I can't spare you!! ”

Sakuragi's joke made Akagi furious.

Maybe in high school, even when he first entered the league, Sakuragi always made this kind of joke, but now, Sakuragi is really rare!!

After the two laughed and played, they came to the Kobe indoors, the swimming pool where the Maekawa Voyage Coach was located that Sakuragi must go to on vacation.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Uncle Akagi, don't look at him as fierce and vicious, in fact, he is very kind!!"

While waiting for Maekawa, Sakuragi came to the team and introduced Akagi.

"Uncle Akagi is good~~!!"

The team members greeted Akagi in unison.

"You guy, and the Boy Scouts?!"

Akagi asked Sakuragi in a low voice.

After waiting for a while, Maekawa came to the pool.

"I thought you were going to win this year!!"

After meeting, Maekawa first greeted each other.

"It's a matter of time before you win the championship, don't worry!!"

Sakuragi said.

Later, after Maekawa learned about the situation, he taught Akagi what he had taught Sakuragi at the beginning, and Akagi's recovery road officially transferred to the swimming pool.

After introducing Akagi to Maekawa, Sakuragi left the swimming pool.

"Hey, Sakuragi, what are you doing?"

As soon as he left the swimming pool, Sakuragi received a call from Twilight.

"Nothing, what's wrong? Champion! ”

"You still call me Mu Dui, that's it, I want to go back to Kanagawa and visit Coach Anzai, I didn't go to school last year for various reasons, and I must go this year!!"

After saying this, Sakuragi was a little stupid, as if he had forgotten that someone was calling him!

"Hey, Sakuragi, are you listening??"

Seeing that Sakuragi didn't respond, Twilight asked.

"Oh, I'm listening, I'm listening, yes, when to go, take me!!"

"Okay, I called the others before, and they were all out, and everyone was really busy!!"

Later, after Twilight and Akagi confirmed the time and place, they hung up the phone.

"Oh my God~~~ How could I forget my daddy!! It's been almost three years since I came back, and I didn't even go to see my dad, eh!! Sakuragi, Sakuragi, you're so confused!! ”

Sakuragi blamed himself as he walked, it turned out that Sakuragi was stupid there before because he suddenly heard Anzai's name, which reminded Sakuragi that there was also a "daddy"!!

After making an agreement with Sakuragi, Ki Twilight took the Shinkansen and rushed to Kanagawa Prefecture in Yokohama City.

Since Coach Anzai took Rukawa Kaede to high school, because of his health and various reasons, he did not go out to coach again, but stayed at home, and in the blink of an eye, Anzai has been retired for two years.

And Sakuragi hasn't seen his basketball enlightenment teacher for five years, the "daddy" in his mouth!

"No, Sakuragi, you haven't been to your teacher's house for so long??"

On the way to Coach Anzai's house, Mu Du was surprised when he learned about Sakuragi's situation.

"Eh, I really mustered up a lot of courage to come to Daddy, I feel really a little shameless to face Daddy, eh! Do you think Daddy will know about my return??!! ”

Sakuragi asked, and it seemed that Sakuragi still had some luck in his heart.

"How can you not know, it's not been a day or two since you came back, it's been almost three years, and you're still a public figure, anyone who knows you should know!!"

Ki's words extinguished Sakuragi's last hope.

Now I can only bite the bullet!!

"Gollum~~"

Sakuragi swallowed hard. Be ready to knock on the door.

"Tick knock! Tick knock! ~”

Soon after the doorbell rang, an old woman slowly opened the door, apparently the wife of Coach Anthy.

"You guys are ,,,!! It's Twilight Wood!! Please come in!! ”

The old grandmother first saw Sakuragi's face, but didn't recognize it, and after seeing Mu Twilight behind, the old woman recognized it and called the two into the house.

"Old man, come out quickly, Mu Dusk is here!!"

The old grandmother greeted Anzai, and saw a figure gradually coming out of the room, Sakuragi's nervous expression overflowed.

"Oh?? It's Twilight!! Roar, sit down!! ”

I saw a chubby, white-skinned, white-haired, but very short old man walking over with a pair of reading glasses on his face.

"Although I haven't seen Anzai for five years, after seeing me, Sakuragi recognized it for the first time, looked at Anzai with straight eyes, and wanted to call out Anzai's name, but it was a little embarrassing!!"

"Teacher, you seem to be in good health, I didn't come to see you last year, I'm sorry!!"

"Roar Roar Roar~~"

Coach Anzay let out a representative laugh.

But it doesn't seem to have noticed Sakuragi's presence yet.

"Oh, by the way, teacher, look who I'm bringing this time!!"

Seeing that Sakuragi didn't squeak, Mu Twilight took the initiative to introduce him.

"Oh!! This is ~~~"

Anzai fixed his eyes on Sakuragi, but the old man didn't seem to recognize it!!

"Don't you know me??"

Sakuragi said with a red face. How Sakuragi wishes Anzai could recognize it as soon as possible!!

"I really don't seem to be impressed!! Sorry,,,"

Anzai's words may really make Sakuragi heartbroken, I remember how unforgettable Sakuragi and Anzai's time together was, all Sakuragi's basketball foundation was taught by the old man in front of him!!

But now, Anzai doesn't even recognize Sakuragi.

"Teacher, he's ~~"

"Daddy~~!!"

Sakuragi spoke before Twilight could speak, because Sakuragi was the only one who called Coach Anzai "Daddy"!! It seems that Sakuragi's dad let all his stress go up in smoke!!

"Isn't it, are you the Sakuragi ,,,?"

Anthy seems to have some impressions, but the name is incomplete!!

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, you're Sakuragi Hanamichi!!"

The old lady thought about it first and said.

"Oh!! Sakuragi Hanamichi!! Roar Roar Roar~~"

Hearing that Anzai remembered himself, Sakuragi put down what he had bought, and went up and hugged Anzai!!" Dad!!! I miss you so much!! I miss you so much!! ”

Sakuragi hugged Anzai tightly, already showing tears of excitement.

"Roar roar ~ ~ Sakuragi, I really don't recognize you, remember that your hair was like that before, your movements were like that, your speech was like that, roar roar ~~"

After the two separated, Anzai looked at Sakuragi and compared some of Sakuragi's classic movements before, which was very cute!!

This made Sakuragi, who had been in tears before, laugh!!

"Sit down and talk, I'll wash some fruit!!"

Coach Anzai's wife left the living room, and Mu Du and the others sat down and chatted hotly.

Sakuragi has experienced too much in the past five years, and there are too many things I want to share with Coach Anzai, after all, in the process of Sakuragi's growth, Coach Anzai is one of the few elders who has given Sakuragi great encouragement and trust.

It can be said that Sakuragi's current success is inseparable from the guidance of the initial success of Coach Anzai!!

"Roar, roar~~ It seems that I will pay more attention to your games in the future, there are so many stories that have happened!!"

After listening to Sakuragi's review of the past few years, Anzai said that he may have heard some things about the Jaguar team and Sakuragi and others before, but after hearing Sakuragi say it himself, Coach Anzai was still very happy!!

"Dad, if you're in good health, or you can go out to coach, and you can be our team's technical advisor!!"

Could it be that Sakuragi came here for some other purpose??!! (To be continued.) )
