Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was supposed to be in his third year of high school in Xiangbei High School and started his graduation season, was almost lost in his athleticism because he accidentally suffered a serious back injury during the national competition in his freshman year of high school. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After coming to the United States, it took a year for Sakuragi to finally recover from his injury, and then Sakuragi began to try various training sessions that would help Sakuragi return to the court as soon as possible.

5 in the morning and 10 in the evening, this is almost the rhythm of Sakuragi's daily training, the reason why he fights so hard is not only because Sakuragi wants to return to the court as soon as possible, but also because he wants to make up for all the days spent lying in the hospital bed for more than a year.

Now, Sakuragi has finally completed strength training and muscle memory of "ball sense", and is officially ready to "make a comeback".

Next, it's time to get back to the real state on the field through the game.

The real game didn't make Sakuragi wait too long, and although it was only an internal training match, I believe that the intensity will definitely not be low.

"Although there is no Haruko on the sidelines, there is also no stinky vixen of Rukawa Kaede to stir up the situation, so this is also the first show after the comeback, and it must be the heroic wind of this genius~!!"

Before the game, Sakuragi, who was wearing a No. 10 training vest, seemed to be a big deal.

However, the gap between Sakuragi and his teammates is quite obvious.

In the United States, Sakuragi's explosive physical fitness, which Sakuragi once relied on the most, has been reduced to ordinary mortals, and what affects the court is that Sakuragi's main job, the rebounding competition, no longer has much advantage.

Facing the "black and hard" black interior players who are both teammates and opponents, Sakuragi seems powerless.

The lack of advantage in rebounding competition makes Sakuragi's contribution on the court even less, coupled with the tacit understanding of his teammates, Sakuragi's state on the court is: running laps.

The front court runs to the back court, and the back court runs to the front court.

Although it is a matter of physical strength, the efficiency is really too low.

Such a gap is the fundamental talent gap, and when Sakuragi's advantage is reduced to a mortal in front of a violent black man who is more than two meters old, Sakuragi needs other ways to make up for this gap.

"Good job, young man, keep up the good work, your progress is obvious to all~!!"

Although Sakuragi did not play well throughout the game, only scoring 2 points and 4 rebounds, the head coach still encouraged Sakuragi after the game.

After all, it is not easy for players who have been away from the court for nearly two years~~

However, with the mentality of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he himself will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo~~

It's still hard training every day, and every day life is completely two points and one line: the dormitory - the training hall.

Here, Sakuragi is not only not affected by any off-field factors, but also under the stimulation of teammates who are also very good, Sakuragi's progress, or recovery speed, is getting faster and faster, looking at Sakuragi, who is very skilled in dribbling with both hands, it seems that he is much more powerful than before the injury~~

Sakuragi is much happier than Rukawa Kaede now, although he has been delayed a lot of time due to injury, but training in the United States and participating in basketball training in the United States is what Rukawa Kaede has always dreamed of, but the latter is still in Xiangbei, and he still can't win the national championship.

"Haruko~~, how are you doing lately~?? I haven't been in touch with you for a long time, I've been very busy training lately, and I've been asleep in bed when I get home for a few days~!! I was really lucky today, the coach arranged a separate training session for me, I think I learned a lot again, I stayed here for a long time, and I slowly got used to it, but when I was free, I still missed everyone, haha, looking forward to the day I went back~!! By the way, we have a game tomorrow, cheer for me~!! Haha, how I hope Haruko can cheer for me on the sidelines like before, so that I may perform better~!! Ha ha~!!! ”

Of course, what can't be forgotten is the connection with Haruko.

Because of the time difference, Sakuragi rarely talks to Haruko on the phone, so writing an email is Sakuragi's most common contact method~~

Time flies, and Sakuragi's final year of high school is spent in endless training and intensive competitions.

At the end of three years of high school, Sakuragi faced the most realistic and serious topic, that is: return to Japan, or continue to stay in the United States for further study.

For both options, Sakuragi has its own advantages.

First of all, let's go back to Japan.

When he came to the United States two years ago, Sakuragi's biggest expectation was to recover from his injury as soon as possible and return to the Xiangbei team, but this idea seemed to fade in the life of the American imperialists, not because Sakuragi didn't want to go home, but because in the United States, Sakuragi saw the best basketball atmosphere in the world and the highest intensity of the game, all of which made Sakuragi feel that the gap between himself and them was too big, and this sense of gap replaced the pain of homesickness.

But if you go back to Japan now, although you can't go back to Xiangbei, you still have the opportunity to go to university and participate in the university league, which is also a good choice.

However, how difficult it is to get the opportunity to study and live in the United States, the "world's highest level basketball country", this is what many people dream of, if Sakuragi gives up so easily, it is indeed a pity, a pity~~

And for these two choices, what does the party Sakuragi think~?!

"Damn, I really want to go back, but there are too many guys on this side that I haven't defeated, so I'm really unwilling to go like this~!!"

Sakuragi is also entangled.

At the same time, there was a positive signal from Boston, and the local Boston University wanted Sakuragi Hanamichi to join the school's basketball team and offered him a generous scholarship.

Although the Boston University basketball team is not as famous as "North Carolina", "UCLA" and other famous basketball schools, the scholarship is very important for Sakuragi, and Sakuragi can have the opportunity to play in the "NCAA", which is very rare.

If Sakuragi chooses to return to Japan at this time, then he may not have a chance in his life~~

In addition to the U.S. side, there are also movements on the Japanese side~~

"Oh oh~!! It turns out that it's Sakuragi Hanamichi, haha. Looks strong and tall~!! ”

During one of Sakuragi's training sessions, the staff who followed Sakuragi led a person to peek at Sakuragi who was training at the entrance of the training hall.

The person who spoke was none other than Sakuragi's Bole, an important person who brought Sakuragi back to Japan, the general manager of the Jba Kobe Jaguar team - Kawaguchi.

"It's better to let this kid polish here for another year~!! After all, this place may let him grow faster, I will come to observe him from time to time, and when the time comes, I will bring him back~!! ”

Kawaguchi said after watching Sakuragi's training.

Although Sakuragi did not know about the situation at that time, the United States still used other "temptations" to keep Sakuragi in the United States.

"Haruko, maybe I won't go back for the time being, I decided to continue my studies in the United States, and there are also schools that offer me scholarships, I don't think I'm good enough now, and I haven't reached the kind of ability I expected, so I don't want to miss this opportunity, one day in the future, when I go back, I will definitely be stronger, stronger than before, I want to become the strongest in Japan~!!"

After deciding to stay, Sakuragi sent an email to Haruko as usual.
