In the 11th round of the 2013-2014 JBA regular season, there is a major event about to be played at the Sony Center in Mito. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two sides are the Mito Electronics team, which is playing at home, and the Fukuyama Flying Wave team, which is challenging at home.

The electronic team and the Flying Waves team actually didn't have any holidays, and the two teams didn't meet in the playoffs, so there was no so-called grudge, but the players in the two teams had a lot of stories.

That is Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, who have been teammates in the Jaguar team for five years and were teammates in the Xiangbei team.

The two old enemies have finally met in the real professional arena~~

On the afternoon of the game day, Rukawa Kaede, who had just finished training at the Sony Center, was surrounded by reporters and asked.

"Did you make any special preparations for the night game~??"

The journalist asked.

"No, no, it's just a normal regular season~~"

Rukawa Kaede replied cleanly.

"Will you defend Sakuragi Hanamichi in the game later~??"

"The game is a fast-changing thing, it's hard to say if it will be, their forward lineup is very strong, and Simmons also has a strong impact~~"

"Then excuse me, since you and Sakuragi were no longer teammates a few years ago, are the two of you still in touch~??"

The reporter's question seems to have hit the nail on the head.

"This question doesn't seem to have anything to do with the night game~!!"

Rukawa Kaede obviously didn't pay attention.

The final warm-up between the two sides has ended, and the official game is about to begin.

"Come on, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, take a look at the two of you, who is more powerful~??!!"

Not only Haruko, but Mitsui Shou, who had already retired due to injury, was also watching this game at home.

Presumably those who know the past grievances between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede should pay attention to this game~~

"The first time Sakuragi was sealed by Rukawa Kaede 0:3, and the second time Sakuragi tenaciously played 3:3 flat~!! Sakuragi is improving every time, but this time~!! What kind of surprise will you bring~??!! ”

Listening to Mitsui's tone, it seems that he is on the side of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

There is no change in the starters of both sides, and it is indeed not easy for Simmons to stay healthy on the Waves side, and with him, Sakuragi Hanamichi can also put less pressure on the offensive end and contribute more on the defensive end.

And don't forget, in addition to Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, there is also the guy who wears a lot of hairspray and always uses the court as his "talk show" stage - Takano Thunder.

"It's been a long time, a brave boy, haha~!! If you have time, you must tell me what happened that night~~~"

While talking, Takano had already come to the field, and took the initiative to walk up to Sakuragi, who was sorting out his jersey, and became naughty.

Obviously, Takano was talking about Sakuragi's "nightclub incident" before.

"I saw Ishii and them in the previous game, and they asked me to say hello to you, and they said they were looking forward to the day you return to Nagoya~!!" Sakuragi was also not to be outdone, revealing Takano's scars.

"Hmph~~ No wonder you're banned, you're really nosy~!!"

Gao Ye didn't come to one place, and walked away directly.

Sakuragi had already sorted out his jersey and came to the court, and after shaking hands with the three referees, Sakuragi walked along the halfway line towards the court.

Everyone is looking at Sakuragi, because Rukawa Kaede is already ready to stand on the field, so I want to see if the two of them will "say hello~~"

Some details often reflect more things.

And judging from the current situation, if Sakuragi doesn't take the initiative to find Rukawa Kaede, the two should not have any "interaction" before the game.

Sakuragi first gestured to Mori Shigekuan, after all, he was also an opponent back then, and he also had a certain friendship.

"I've lost a lot of weight~!!"

Sakuragi said with a smile.

"I was stimulated by your championship~!! Ha ha!! ”

Mori Shigekuan also seemed to be quite stable, and said half-jokingly.

After that, Sakuragi signaled to Aichuan and others, and then, the most attention-grabbing and anticipated scene finally arrived~!!

Sakuragi went straight to Rukawa Kaede ~~~

"Sakuragi~~"

"Sakuragi~~"

"Sakuragi~~"

Haruko, Mitsui, and too many others who were following the game were all excited at the same moment.

Although Sakuragi's eyes did not meet Rukawa Kaede, he walked in front of Rukawa Kaede and still stretched out his right fist.

Rukawa Kaede also didn't look at Sakuragi Hanamichi, stared at Sakuragi's right fist, and stretched out his fist.

"Da~~~"

A very, very slight sound, two people's fists slamming together.

There was no talking, no eye contact, not even a close contact, just a simple "fist bump".

But this "bumper fist" fans have been waiting for too long~~

Perhaps this fist bump is just a form of Sakuragi Hanamichi in etiquette and walking with Rukawa Kaede, but often this form is a very positive signal.

Including Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, they are all trying to make this unusual game very ordinary, and face it with a normal heart.

But in the hearts of the two people, there are still a lot of things they want to show on the court.

To put it simply: take this very important game with a calm heart.

"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!!"

The reporters also captured this detail, and immediately "snapped" and kept shooting.

This picture is indeed very meaningful to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and it seems that even when they were teammates, they didn't have such a "fist bump".

"That's right~~~ If the two of you were like this at the time, maybe my brother's dream of winning the championship would have been realized a long time ago~~"

Haruko, who saw this scene, was also moved to cry.

"This fist bump" actually proves to everyone that although the two people have a lot of "hostile" pasts, as time goes by, as the distance increases, this "hostility" is slowly decreasing.

"Distance produces beauty", that's what it means~~

As he spoke, the game began.

Morishige jumped high and won the first wave of possession.

It seems that the "Big Mac" who has successfully lost weight has gradually recovered a lot of bouncing~~

Aikawa took the ball and came to the frontcourt.

It seems that Sakuragi Hanamichi is still a big forward here, and he is still defending Takaya after falling to the position at halftime.

Sakuragi should also get used to defending Takaya, and Sakuragi is really familiar with this opponent~~~

However, this side of Aikawa Hikoka seems to want to steal the show, and when he comes to the half, there is no tactical execution at all, and it is directly a jump shot that stops urgently~!!

"Bell ~ !!"

However, this sudden shot did not lead to the first goal, wasting Mori Shigekuan jumping to the ball.

"My ~!!!"

Sakuragi shouted and took the rebound.

As soon as it came up, there was a contribution.

Here, Kenji Fujima dribbled over half the court, and Fujima did not come nonsense, but gave the ball to one of the protagonists of the game - Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Papapa~!!!"

At this time, the photographer on the scene began to suddenly "attack".

Because standing in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi who is holding the ball, it is Rukawa Kaede ~~~

The air in the entire Sony Center seems to have suddenly frozen~~

It was a very strange ~~ wonderful feeling of suffocation~~~
