Chapter 961: Officially Released
After helping the Fukuyama Flying Waves win the JBA championship in 2012 and being named the Most Valuable Player of the Finals, Sakuragi Hanamichi has become increasingly famous in Fukuyama and even in the entire Hiroshima Prefecture where Fukuyama is located.
Even after more than four years, Sakuragi's influence after winning the championship at that time is still there~~
Sakuragi also brought this influence to the school, to the school that left a deep impression on him and made the biggest change in his life.
However, the school in question here is not Shohoku High School, but Hiroshima University.
Sakuragi, who was invited to participate in the Youth Forum, began his lecture in the lecture hall of Hiroshima University in front of thousands of students and teachers.
Although I was a little nervous at first, slowly, the situation improved~~
"One of my dreams since I was a child was not to be bullied by other classmates, haha, yes, in order to chase this dream, I exercise every day to strengthen my body,,,,,"
Sakuragi began his formal speech.
It's hard to imagine that the unlearned Sakuragi Hanamichi, the bad boy Sakuragi Hanamichi, was able to stand in a national institution of higher learning in the year of its establishment, and give an in-depth speech like "chasing dreams", which may be the changes brought about by basketball~~
"But, but I actually pulled off the captain's pants~~"
"Hahahahahaha~~~!!!"
Sakuragi's speech, interspersed with interesting memories of the past, caused the students at the scene to laugh out loud~~
Perhaps this kind of self-deprecation is also one of Sakuragi's abilities.
In this self-deprecation, Sakuragi's speech is always carried out in a very harmonious and joyful atmosphere~~
"So, on the road to chasing your dreams, if you care enough about your process, when it's over, looking back, it will be an unforgettable journey, that's the most important thing, that's what each of us wants to chase the most~!!!Thank you~!!!!"
"Papa~!!!!!!!!!!"
Soon, Sakuragi's speech ended, and the effect of the full house proved that Sakuragi's speech was a success~~
Shanqi also applauded excitedly, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of joy~~
"Whew~~~~"
At the end of the speech, Sakuragi looked at the students who were applauding in the audience and took a deep breath~~
"Haha, the speech turned out to be such a charming and rewarding thing, haha, it looks like after retiring, you can change careers to give speeches~!!"
Sakuragi also walked to the front of the stage, bowing and thinking to himself.
At the end of the speech, Sakuragi's trip to Hiroshima University only ended with the first part, followed by the interactive part that the students were most looking forward to, that is, the question session.
I believe that these students' questions will definitely be related to "gossip"~~
"Hello Sakuragi Hanamichi, I'm a graduating student at the Art and Design Institute, and I've seen on the Internet before that you had very bright red hair when you were in high school, and I think if you become like that again, you'll definitely lead the trend again, will you still do that~??"
Sure enough, the first girl's question had nothing to do with basketball or "chasing dreams".
"Haha, if I can go back there to school, I'll dye it back~~"
Sakuragi also replied very wittily.
Maybe it's more suitable for Sakuragi with a black hairstyle with some brown hair like now~~
It's like a person has a stage of a person's life, and each stage has different things to do, which is very normal~~
Sakuragi knows what she has to do, so she has achieved these successes~~
"Sakuragi Hanamichi, hello, I'm your big fan, my favorite team is also the Feilang team, do you think the current Feilang team has a chance to win the championship~??Is there anything you want to give to your old teammates, Rukawa Kaede's who has gone to the Korean League~??"
There were still some "basketball fans" at the scene, and a tall boy asked.
"Well~~, first of all, thank you for supporting our team, winning is the most basic thing as a team, and getting more victories will get closer and closer to the championship, there is no doubt about it, so, I think, as long as we focus on winning every night, many things are pushed down the river, and we don't have to force it~~As for Rukawa Kaede, he has his own choice, as a former teammate on the field, an old classmate off the field, I hope he succeeds, he is a person who has always worked hard and lived seriously, and he is working hard every day to chase his dreams, almost to a state of selflessness, I admire him ~~"
It can be heard from Sakuragi's answer that over the years, many grievances and grievances in the past have long been washed away by the rain of time, and I believe that if Rukawa Kaede saw this scene, he would also bless Sakuragi Hanamichi with that tone~~
"Sakuragi Hanamichi, hello, I'm a freshman girl in the College of Education, may I ask, what kind of girl do you like~??"
A very shy girl, the kind of girl who looks like Haruko, asked, sure enough, the topic of gossip only stopped for a while~~
"Haha~~~"
Sakuragi was suddenly asked such a question, but he became shy.
"The way you look reminds me of a girl I once had a crush on~~~"
Sakuragi's words made the girl smile shyly and cover her mouth.
"I'm not sure what type she is, but I'm pretty sure who she is~!!!"
"Oh~!!!"
Sakuragi's very imaginative words immediately caused an exclamation in the lecture hall~~
"Is it the rumored women's volleyball player~??"
Before Sakuragi could explain, the girls in the audience continued to gossip and ask.
Sakuragi looks like he has to make his relationship with Sugi public, although he may not have to disclose Sugi's identity, but he must dissociate himself from Natsume~~
And Shanqi, who was sitting in the audience, was at a loss, she didn't expect that Sakuragi would open herself up on such an occasion and in such a way~~
"Haha, no, no, it's not like that, but I really helped that girl find her happiness~~"
Sakuragi finished explaining and continued.
"Our acquaintance can be said to be a misunderstanding, a very coincidental misunderstanding, it was that misunderstanding that let us enter each other's lives, at that time in Kobe, in addition to training, playing games, just to find a chance to talk to her, at that time I may not have felt that it was the feeling of liking a person, but slowly, I found that we seem to have integrated into each other's lives~~ Even after arriving in Fukuyama, we did not break contact, and, some of the things experienced during that period made us more. Cherish each other more~~"
"Is it like that nightclub brawl incident~??"
Sakuragi said this, and the shy girl interjected.
"Haha~~, those are all in the past, now that we are together, I am very content with this, maybe she is offstage now, maybe she is not there, but no matter where she is, I believe she will feel it, we believe in each other~~~"
"Sakuragi~~~~"
Listening to Sakuragi's sensational words on the field, Shanqi off the field also burst into tears, and he was moved by his true feelings~~
