Chapter 9 Xiangbei, reassemble!
"Sakuragi~~~!"
I saw three men suddenly rushing in from outside the door, crying and throwing themselves on the Sakuragi bed! It was as if something sad had happened, and there were even some convulsions. "Hey! Feed! Feed! If you're not mistaken, it's just a minor injury! What are you doing! It's like you'll never see me again! Go down, crush me! Sakuragi was a little helpless.
"Ah~~! Sakuragi, you're still lying at this point! Look at your sickness, your hair is turning yellow!! “
Several people continued to cry and talk.
"If you don't finish it, I'll serve you with iron heads, so that you can recall the taste of the past!" Seeing this, Sakuragi is going to make a special move.
"Ahh Come on!! "When a few people heard that Sakuragi was going to kill him, they quickly got out of bed." How many of you should be! Haruko seemed to recognize them.
"That's right, I'm fat, round, and a little thick lips! I'm the one with a sexy mustache and a somewhat mature look, Tadaichiro Noma! I'm Yuji Daikusu, whose hair is yellower than Sakuragi and whose appearance is even more handsome than Sakuragi! We are the embodiment of justice, we are the representatives of true friendship between men - the Sakuragi Legion is also! "A few people were in unison, and they also posed after speaking." Here comes again to this set ~~~" Sakuragi was a little impatient.
"1, 2, 3, huh? What about Yohei Mito! Sakuragi counted the number of people and noticed that there was a shortage!
"Sakuragi!! Can't you just follow the three of us?? The pose posed by the three of them collapsed instantly, and they fell down collectively in an instant.
"That guy should be quite busy right now!" Takamiya sighed.
"Is that guy in love?" Sakuragi suddenly leaned closer to Takamiya and whispered in her ear.
"Nope!" Takamiya replied in the affirmative.
"So, shouldn't he still be doing all kinds of odd jobs?" Sakuragi was a little confused.
"No, eh! By the way, Sakuragi, didn't you go to the draft, didn't you see Yohei?" Takamiya's words puzzled Sakuragi even more.
"Draft??? Yohei went to security? Or a videographer? Still ,,,," Sakuragi can't think of what else Yohei can do when he goes to the draft.
"No, I doubt you went to the draft! Yohei also went to the draft and was chosen! Takamiya's words shocked Sakuragi.
"Draft?? Yohei ??? What the hell is going on!!! "Sakuragi is already confused.
"You were injured after playing the National Championship, went to the United States, Yohei worked all day, and then by chance Yohei met a basketball coach, he played basketball under the coach's guidance, I didn't expect that kid basketball perception is similar to you, Sakuragi, but he doesn't have as amazing bounce as you, but has a very accurate three-point shot, and then he heard that being a professional player can make a lot of money, so he practiced harder, last year Yohei participated in the draft, but no team selected him, so he trained for a whole year, Finally selected by the Sendai Rovers with the sixth pick in this year's draft! Takamiya spoke to Sakuragi.
"Damn, this guy Yangping has been hiding from me, and he has talked to him on the phone a few times, and he has never mentioned this matter!" Sakuragi said angrily.
"Yohei has always asked us to keep it a secret, for fear that I will be in a hurry to return to Japan after you know it," Takamiya explained.
"This guy, thinking about it like this, when I announced the sixth pick, I really thought,,,, hahaha, no wonder, no wonder!" Sakuragi recalled.
"Sakuragi, what are you muttering there?" Daikusu seemed to have heard Sakuragi's words.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, hahaha, I didn't expect Yohei to have basketball talent! Ha ha! Sakuragi smirked.
Here Sakuragi was having fun talking with Akagi and Sakuragi Legion and others in the hospital, and after Rukawa Kaede finished the duel with Sakuragi, he rushed to Kobe, the location of the Jaguar team, together with his boss Mr. Takayama and Kawaguchi, who came from the hospital later! There, thousands of fans have been waiting for the arrival of the team's champion.
Kobe, a port city in western Japan with a population of 1.52 million, was once not the whole of the city, but with the team's progress in recent years and the upcoming champion Rukawa Kaede, it is full of basketball atmosphere.
The Kobe breeze in June is cool, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Rukawa Kaede's flight arrived at Kobe Airport on time, a large number of fans in the terminal were anxiously waiting for Rukawa Kaede's appearance, and soon, Rukawa Kaede and his party appeared, and the scene was boiling! Cheers, screams, as if the roof of the entire terminal building is about to be overturned, Kobe Airport has long been prepared, mobilizing about 300 police forces to maintain order, Rukawa Kaede and his party did not accept media interviews, extremely low-key relying on the brute force of the police to open the passage slowly, really like a superstar has arrived!
Walking out of the terminal, Rukawa Kaede and his party boarded the Jaguar bus, and the fans surrounded the car, shouting loudly: "Rukawa! Rukawa! Love you boundlessly! Jaguar! Jaguar! Pride in my heart! ~~~" The uniform slogan resounded throughout the airport. The bus slowly drove away from the airport, but the fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, still shouting loud slogans.
"Rukawana! It's the first time I've seen so many people pick up from the airport, and it seems that you are quite popular in Kobe! Kawaguchi sat next to Rukawa Kaede and asked with interest.
"It's okay." Rukawa Kaede may have been tired of traveling, and he was not as excited as Kawaguchi. "I'm sleepy, sleep, wake me up." Rukawa Kaede then added.
"Okay, this guy!" Kawaguchi's interest was extinguished by Rukawa Kaede's coldness.
Rukawa Kaede was really sleepy, leaning back on the seat and snoring from time to time, thinking about it, he had just had such a fierce duel with Sakuragi in the morning, and he got on the plane and came to Kobe non-stop.
"This kid sleeps so soundly!" Kawaguchi said as he looked at the sleeping Rukawa Kaede.
"Stay for a while, you will see your old acquaintances, the plan of "Xiangbei assembly" is finally coming true after years of hard work! I don't know how long I've been looking forward to this day! Kawaguchi thought that his long-term plan was about to come true, and tears unconsciously appeared on his face.
After more than an hour of travel, Rukawa Kaede and his party finally arrived at the home of the Jaguar team, the water pump center.
Water pump! It is synonymous with the port of Kobe, and almost everything on the sea has a place for a water pump, and when the pump is started, it means that the whole system is starting to operate, which coincides with the situation on the basketball court. This is a relatively old gymnasium, was built in 1986, 20 years ago, fortunately in recent years often renovated, the stadium as a whole meets the requirements of the game, the stadium can accommodate 12,000 people, usually the Jaguar team's training is not here, but not far from the stadium training hall, off-season and peacetime when there is no game task, players and coaches are training in the training hall, there are gyms, rehabilitation centers, catering centers, ,,,etc., it is the base camp of the Jaguar team.
Then why did the bus drive to the stadium instead of going to the training hall, it turned out that Kawaguchi wanted Rukawa Kaede to meet the old acquaintances he was talking about!
"Kawaguchi, you first take Rukawa Kaede to familiarize yourself with the situation in the hall, I have to have a meeting, and you are responsible for arranging the rest." The boss, Mr. Takayama, said to Kawaguchi as soon as he got off the bus.
"Okay, boss, leave it to me." After Kawaguchi finished speaking, the boss, Mr. Takayama, took a car and drove away.
After Kaede Rukawa and his entourage came to the stadium, they first went to the team's locker room, which was not only a place to change the jersey, but also a pre-game preparation meeting, a post-game summary meeting, a medical room, catering, etc., which were also available.
"Rukawa Kaede, look who's coming!" Rukawa Kaede, who was still looking around and familiar with the venue, was shocked by Kawaguchi's words.
"Mitsui,,, Miyagi,,, Miyagi,,,, why are you here??" Rukawa Kaede paused for a moment, but still recognized it.
"Hey, boy, we came before you, you're a rookie in terms of seniority!" Mitsui said first.
"Yes, and the first day I came to report, I was late!" Miyagi then said.
"Well, I'm late!" After speaking, Rukawa, Mitsui, and Miyagi walked forward and embraced, although the three of them only represented Xiangbei in the competition for one academic year, but the friendship established with each other was quite deep.
It turned out that Mitsui and Miyagi were both Jaguar players, and the two were selected by the team the year before and last year, respectively.
"When Sakuragi returns from his injury, the former five tigers of northern Hunan will gather!!" Kawaguchi saw the three of them hugging each other and sighed.
"Huh? Could it be ,,," Rukawa Kaede seemed to understand something after hearing Kawaguchi's words.
"Yes, that person is ,,," Kawaguchi said halfway through and his eyes returned to the hospital.
"By the way, brother, I haven't said anything about that yet!" Haruko reminded her brother.
"Oh, yes. Sakuragi, from now on, we will start to be teammates again, and when you are healed, I will take you back to the team to report. Akagi said solemnly.
"Be teammates with gorilla ,,, ,,,, report ,,,," Sakuragi may suddenly receive so much new information that he won't react for a while. Stunned again.
