The match between Sendai Rovers and Kobe Jaguar ended with a big victory for the Rover, I believe this is not the real strength of the Jaguar team, but the game is like this, only 48 minutes, these 48 minutes are not played well, no matter how strong the book strength is, it will lose.

"Haha, it looks like Sakuragi wants to have a treat!"

"yes, yes, Sakuragi, this guy won't slip away with the team, I saw him rushing back to the locker room just now, and I can't find him!!"

At the end of the game, the Sakuragi Army was the happiest because they could have a big meal!

"Sakuragi, come here!"

The atmosphere in the Jaguar locker room was quite depressing, and Coach Oki stopped Sakuragi as soon as he entered the room.

"Coach, I ,,,, some words before,,"

Sakuragi seemed to be relieved and wanted to come forward and admit his mistake.

"You're not wrong, Sakuragi!"

As soon as Coach Oki's words came out, Sakuragi and the other players were a little dazed, and everyone thought that the coach was preparing to reprimand Sakuragi.

"Except for Sakuragi, you look at you, which one looks like a real professional player, what I said at halftime, only Sakuragi refuted me, that's because he still has fighting spirit, and it's true, only Sakuragi is fighting in the second half, and the others don't want to play anymore!? or are they sleepy and want to wash up and sleep quickly!??"

Coach Oki really reprimanded the players this time, shouting and scolding very loudly.

"I'm disappointed in this game, I don't know when it started, we developed a habit of waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and the opportunity to appear, maybe my coaching also has problems, but this is the idea of everyone now, the victory is won by everyone, not waiting, no championship is won by the opponent's countless mistakes! It seems that everyone has not learned from the defeat in the last game at all, and they have tripped over the same stone, and if we continue like this, we will not only lose the victory of the game, but also your youth. Think about it!"

This passage may be the harshest and most profound passage that Coach Oki has said since he took office, and I wonder if such words can wake up the young people of the Jaguar team!

"Haha, our five brothers haven't been together for three years!!You two have forgotten all about the previous game, now is the friendship time for our five brothers, and nothing else matters!!"

It happened that the team was on a flight tomorrow morning, and although it was sad to lose, Sakuragi still invited the Sakuragi Army to dinner as agreed.

"But I still have to say, Sakuragi, you have indeed improved a lot, today I didn't perform as well as you, if the bet is on you and me who scores more, then I will lose a lot!"

Sakuragi's performance was still praised by the opponent on the field, Yohei Mito, a sworn friend off the field.

"So what, don't you still lose, if you want to say that your kid has a really good life, you were selected by such a team, and you have a reliable teammate like Xiandao!, eh, your good days have come, maybe you can get the golden basket one step earlier than me (added in chapter 16)Ah, haha!!"

Sakuragi, who was already slightly drunk, teased.

"You two are really, no one is allowed to mention it again, and if you mention it again, you will let him treat him next time!!"

Takamiya once again dragged the topic away from the basketball hoop.

"yes, the three of us don't like to talk about basketball, we just want to know if we've been soaking in girls lately!!haha!!"

Danan is most interested in topics related to the opposite sex.

The five of them drank until late at night in the tavern, and Sakuragi staggered down the street like a wanderer in a drunken appearance, but fortunately, the other four were still conscious and sent Sakuragi back to the hotel where the team was staying.

The next morning, Sakuragi didn't oversleep, maybe he woke up hungry, so he went to the convenience store early to buy breakfast.

"Uh-huh???"

Sakuragi flipped for a long time, probably because he was in a hurry, and he didn't bring change.

"Forget it, swipe the card!"

After saying that, Sakuragi took out a bank card.

The cashier put the card into the POS machine, Sakuragi typed the password, and after a while, the cashier said, "I'm sorry, customer, your card has been overdrawn and can't be swiped anymore!!"

"Ah!!??h

The cashier's words made Sakuragi embarrassed, and calmed down, Sakuragi seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "These guys, how many things have you ordered!! Damn, I don't have a month's living expenses!!

It seems that it should be last night's dinner.,Settle the account with Sakuragi's card.,The drunken Sakuragi simply forgot about these.,Originally, Sakuragi was ready to treat so he transferred some more money.,But I didn't expect that not only was it not enough.,And the overdraft to the point that the card was about to freeze.,Sakuragi really didn't expect it.。

Soon, the Jaguar team set off for home, and Sakuragi was finally leaving the place where he not only lost, but also lost a lot of money.

After this game, the Jaguars' record came to 4-3, and the team suffered its first consecutive defeat of the season, and it was a complete losing streak, which greatly reduced the team's morale.

In the next few rounds, the Jaguar team also has wins and losses, more than half of the regular season, 6 wins and 4 losses, temporarily ranked fifth, if the regular season is finished according to this ranking, then the Jaguar team will unfortunately miss the playoffs this season.

With the return of the Nagoya Ninja team's big forward Takano Thunder, who was injured by Sakuragi at the beginning of the season, the ninja team also won consecutive games and rose to fourth in the rankings! The other teams are getting better and better with the deepening of the schedule, and the top three are Kagoshima Antlers, Sendai Rover, and Fukuyama Flying Waves.

Halfway through the schedule, the All-Star Game is just around the corner.

The JBA All-Star Game is similar to the NBA's program, and fans cast their votes, and then divide into Southern All-Stars and Northern All-Stars, as well as some individual events, three-point contests, and dunk contests, but there is no skill challenge, and there is no rookie challenge, but as long as it is a JBA player, even a player like Sakuragi, who has just entered the league, as long as you are strong enough, you will have the opportunity to play the All-Star Game.

This season's All-Star Game will be held in Hokkaido.

No, here's your chance.

"Twitter, twitter!"

The sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor proves how hard the players are training, and finishing fifth in the halfway point really makes the Jaguar team have to be nervous and train harder!

"Everyone, stop, I'll announce one thing!!"

Kawaguchi, the general manager who has not appeared for a long time, came to the training hall, and it should be a good thing to look at the expression!

"Akagi, Rukawa Kaede, you two have been selected for this year's Hokkaido All-Star Game!!And Rukawa Kaede, you are still the starter!!"

"What !!!! stinky fox was selected, what about me, Kawaguchi, did you miss me, how can you not have me, the genius rebounding king!!"

Sakuragi is like a bomb, as long as it touches his sensitive point, it explodes instantly!

"But,,There's really no you, Sakuragi.,I really want you to be an All-Star, but there's really no ,,, you."

"Kawaguchi won't lie, Sakuragi, let's focus on the next game and prove yourself with strength!"

Coach Oki also comforted.

"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that the stinky fox is not there, I can train with peace of mind!!"

Sakuragi heard that the coach was also persuading himself, so he didn't care anymore.

"Now broadcast the latest news, at 10:20 this morning, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale occurred in the Hokkaido area, although the intensity was not very large, but it lasted for a long time, and now the power and transportation throughout Hokkaido are in a state of complete paralysis, and our reporters are on their way!"

There are still three days to go until the Hokkaido All-Star Game, but the last thing people want to see happens.

JBA President Ryuichi Hashimoto also sent a notice to the teams of the JBA League via video as soon as possible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the JBA League, I would like to express my cordial condolences to the victims of the disaster in Hokkaido yesterday, and I hope that you can be strong, and this year's All-Star Game also happened to be held in Hokkaido, in view of the current situation, our JBA Organizing Committee also convened the general managers of all teams, and after a meeting and serious discussion, it was unanimously decided that this year's Hokkaido All-Star Game will be cancelled, and we will organize players to go to the disaster area for rescue and post-disaster reconstruction. A contest about Hokkaido lavender will also be postponed. “

A video of less than two minutes covered so much that the cancellation of the All-Star Game may have disrupted the plans of the teams.

Hokkaido's infrastructure was quickly restored after a nationwide effort, and in Japan, there were many emergency plans for the earthquake, so the reconstruction work proceeded in an orderly manner, and soon everything was back to normal.

The second half of the JBA will soon be back in action.

The second half of the Jaguar team did improve a lot, although it will also lose to the strong teams, but there will be no more routs like the first half, and as other teams get to know Jaguar's rookies better, the team will gradually lose its secrets.

Although the Jaguar team tried hard to squeeze into the ranks of the playoffs, the top teams did not lose, and in the end, the Jaguar team still ranked fifth with a record of 12 wins and 10 losses in the regular season, unfortunately missing the playoffs.
