After Team Waves won the JBA championship and became the new champion, the annual offseason began.

Sakuragi continued to train as usual in the offseason, and visited Coach Maekawa's swimming pool again.

It's just that this time Sakuragi's identity is the introducer, Sakuragi introduced the captain of the team, Akagi, who had been recovering from an injury, to the swimming pool, and Akagi hoped to be able to use swimming methods to treat his intermittent muscle atrophy caused by long-term inability to move due to surgery.

After arranging Akagi, Mu Twilight found Sakuragi and took Sakuragi to visit the mentor of the two when they were teammates in the Xiangbei team~~ Coach Anzai.

Sakuragi, who hadn't seen Coach Anzai for many years, faced Coach Anzai with trepidation and guilt.

But after the two got to know each other, a kind "dad" made the master and apprentice finally get together after five years of separation!!

"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??!!

"Roar roar~~, I haven't touched basketball for a long time, I'm afraid it's not suitable to do it!!"

It seems that Anzai's retreat is very firm!!

"Really?? Dad! I really think that you are the only one who knows me best!! ”

Eye-catching still longs for the Tao.

"Roar~~, I have nothing to teach you now, as a professional player, you can already face various situations, and the current coach will definitely be more suitable for you!!"

Anzai's attitude seemed to be very firm, and seeing this, Sakuragi didn't appeal anymore.

Several people talked about the situation of Akagi and the others again.

"By the way, will you two be free??"

Everyone was eating fruit, and Anthy suddenly asked.

"Free! I'm free!! What about you, Twilight? ”

"I'm fine!"

"Then how about you stay and accompany me back to Xiangbei!!"

"Ah~~!!"

Hearing Anzai's request, both Twilight and Sakuragi were taken aback.

"Okay~~!! I haven't been back in a long time, great idea!! ”

Sakuragi is very excited, it seems that Sakuragi's trip has become a trip to pick up billions!!

After everyone cleaned up, they set off towards Xiangbei High School.

The cherry blossom trees that are not yet in full bloom, the familiar school name engraved on the walls, the black uniforms and delicate ******, the fragrant smell of books.

"Xiangbei High School!! I'm back!! ”

Sakuragi stood at the school gate and shouted loudly!!

"Hey, Sakuragi, keep a low profile, we'll lose our freedom if they recognize us!!"

Twilight reminds Sakuragi in the back.

"Roar, roar~~, it seems to have returned to the past!!"

Anzai also sighed when he saw such a scene!!

But Sakuragi and Twilight's height is there, and even if you don't speak, standing there will attract a lot of attention!!

But fortunately, when Sakuragi and the others came, it was supposed to be class time, and there were only a small number of students on the campus road, but Sakuragi and the others walked on the road, and many people stopped to watch, and several girls also discussed with each other, as if they recognized Sakuragi.

After a while, several male classmates really came to Sakuragi's side.

"May I ask you are that basketball star~~ Sakuragi Hanamichi??"

A boy asked, looking up at Sakuragi.

"Hahaha, exactly, hello, classmate!!"

Sakuragi scratched her hair and said with a little smugness.

"It seems that Sakuragi, your fame is really big!!"

Twilight said behind Sakuragi, patting Sakuragi on the shoulder.

"You're Coach Anthy!!"

Another classmate recognized Anthy.

"Roar roar roar~~ After so many years of retirement, there are still people who recognize me, it seems that I am not too old!!"

Anthy laughed at herself.

"This brother should be Mu Du Gongyan of this year's champion Feilang Team!!"

Mu Dui, who was standing in the back, was finally recognized.

It seems that you can't keep a low profile!!

Later, more people gathered around, asking for autographs and taking group photos, and Sakuragi and the others were very busy.

"Huh~Huh~Huh, it's really the first time I've signed so many names, and I'm very tired!!"

After finishing the autograph, Sakuragi and the others came to the gymnasium, which can be regarded as avoiding the crowd.

"When I saw them, I seemed to think of myself back then, wearing blue vests, white shorts, and those sweaty days!!"

Seeing the young players training on the field, Sakuragi sighed again.

"I still have Haruko with me back then! Sakuragi!! ”

Twilight on the side teased Sakuragi, maybe Twilight didn't know what happened to Sakuragi and Haruko.

"Eh!! Isn't this Mr. Anzai!! How did you get here!! ”

A man who was a little thin, but looked very capable, about 180 cm tall, with a sword eyebrow was the biggest feature on his face, in short, a very spiritual middle-aged man walked over.

"Oh, I'm bored at home, so I'll come and have a look!!"

"Oh, these two, are they ,,,?"

The middle-aged man seems to recognize Sakuragi and Twilight, but he doesn't dare to recognize it!

"Oh, they're the players I brought with me when I was in the Xiangbei team, Konobu Muki and Hanamichi Sakuragi!! This is the current head coach of the Xiangbei team!! Yang Ben Kui"

Anxi introduced each other, and it turned out that the middle-aged man was the new head coach of the Xiangbei basketball team.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I've watched the two matches on TV before, and after seeing it with my own eyes, I'm really a little unrecognizable!! You two are the pride of our Xiangbei basketball team!! There are also Akagi, Rukawa Kaede and others, all of whom we are proud of!! ”

"Hahaha!! Where's that, what's there!! ”

Sakuragi was praised by the middle-aged man and blushed!!

"By the way, Sakuragi, do you know why I brought you here!!"

"Huh??"

Sakuragi was suddenly confused by Anzai's question, and Sakuragi didn't seem to be able to think of any other reason besides reminiscing about the past!!

"Didn't you say you wanted me to go out of the mountains to coach, I can't do it, but the coach in front of you can help you, Sakuragi!!"

It seems that Coach Anthy really has an ulterior purpose.

"Ah??!!h

Sakuragi was a little sluggish, and he may have understood what Anzai meant, but Sakuragi may not have thought of what the high school coach in front of him could bring to him.

"Roar~~, as you said before, the most regrettable goal this season is that there was a layup that didn't go up, which led to the end of your team's final loss, so I want to take this opportunity to help you review how this layup was done!!"

It turns out that Coach Anzai took Sakuragi and Mu Twilight back to Xiangbei not only to reminisce about the past, but also to train with Sakuragi!!

"Oh~~Haha!! So, Dad, you're finally willing to help me!! Ha ha!! I knew that Daddy still had a lot of unique secrets that he hadn't taught me!! ”

When Sakuragi heard Anzai say this, he was so excited that he hugged Anzai.

"It's not me, Sakuragi, you're mistaken, I told you, I really don't have much to teach you, but you can follow Coach Yomoto, he can teach you something very practical!!"

"This ,,,"

Sakuragi looked a little disappointed, but he didn't refuse.

"Roar ~ Sakuragi, don't underestimate Coach Yomoto, he used to be a professional basketball player, but because of injuries, he retired early, but his layups are in a class of their own, and they are very practical, in the case of their own physical conditions, Coach Yomoto is based on the JBA league with a unique way of layup!!"

After listening to Coach Anzai's introduction, Sakuragi no longer seems to be too disappointed, but perhaps what Sakuragi wants to get back the most is the scene where Coach Anzai personally taught a score!!

"It seems that Sakuragi must have not seen the clip of me playing, and I am also active and show my hand!!"

Seeing Sakuragi's hesitation, Coach Yomoto brought a basketball and made a layup after speaking!!

"Oh~~"

Watching Coach Yomoto's layup, the little players exclaimed.

"He,, how did he do it!!"

Sakuragi was also stunned when he saw it. (To be continued.) )
