Chapter 13 Preparing for the New Season

"These guys, it's really done, that guy Damu has picked up a lot of treasures!" Instructor Maekawa came to the back kitchen, the time was already 1:30 in the morning, all the dishes and chopsticks had been cleaned, Rukawa Kaede and the others may have been too tired, and they all fell asleep in the corner.

And on the mountain, Akagi and the others really set up a tent, and even a fire was raised, maybe the yin air on the mountain was heavier at night, and everyone was so cold that they didn't have sleepiness, lying on the ground looking at the starry sky, and chatting. From time to time, laughter could be heard. The bonfire gradually went out, and most of the team members also went to sleep, only Akagi was still looking thoughtfully at the starry sky, probably, he was worried about Sakuragi, who was training alone!

"I really can't do it this time,,,,," Sakuragi, who was still in the pool, said as if with his last breath of strength. Floated on the water.

"Sakuragi !!" Kawaguchi, who has been guarding the pool, is also sleepy, but he still opens his eyes slightly, and in a trance he sees something floating on the water, Kawaguchi's eyes widened, and when he saw that it was really Sakuragi, Kawaguchi shouted.

"It's fine, just overtired, just sleep. Maekawa saw Sakuragi's condition and diagnosed it.

"But Sakuragi's perseverance is really amazing, I didn't expect the whole pool to be wiped clean in one night!

The first day of special training was over, and all the players were already exhausted, and indeed as the instructor said, after the harsh training, everyone slept very soundly.

The morning rooster dawned, and the next day's training began.

"Huh??Miyagi, why do you smell of detergent?"

"Ahem, I've been brushing the bowl all night, and my wrist still hurts,,,,"

"What about you, Mitsui?"

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, maybe I slept last night and froze. ”

The two who hadn't seen each other all night greeted each other.

After a while, the instructor came to the team members with a glorious face.

"Everyone's morning! Everyone did a great job yesterday, so as a reward. Hearing this, the sleepy team members stared at the instructor with wide eyes, waiting for rewards such as a day off.

"So as a bonus, everyone has a meal card today!"

After the coach finished speaking, the spirit that everyone had just mentioned fell to the bottom again.

"Today we mainly practice ,,,,,,," the instructor said about the content of the day's training, and the next day it returned to normal, and the team members practiced together with the soldiers.

Sakuragi was resurrected again after a night of horror, as if he had forgotten everything except for remembering to wipe the walls of the pool. It's Kawaguchi, who took care of Sakuragi and didn't sleep all night.

"Hey, Kawaguchi, what's wrong with you, why are your eyes so dark!! are you poisoned!!"

"I really shouldn't be Sakuragi's sparring partner, normal humans can't be his sparring partner, I really regret it,,,,," Kawaguchi secretly complained in his heart.

Sakuragi's special training on the second day was also back on track, and he took professional swimming lessons with some members of the Maekawa swimming class. Sakuragi, who already has a childlike mentality, soon mingles with the team.

"Eh, if I found Sakuragi earlier, with his qualifications, I might have a successor!" Maekawa not only sighed again when he saw Sakuragi so involved in training.

Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6. Every day, the team members are sweating, every day, their cohesion is increasing, and every day, every team member has their own harvest.

When you immerse yourself in what you do every day, every day is like a honeymoon! In the blink of an eye, the special training has come to the last day.

"321, start!" Kawaguchi ordered, Sakuragi and the team members competed in the pool, and in the end, Sakuragi lost to the team members "unexpectedly".

"Yay, I've won Brother Sakuragi!!" The team members were excited.

"Damn! I'm going to beat you next time!" Sakuragi said regretfully.

When they learned that Sakuragi was about to end their special training and was about to leave, the team members were extremely reluctant.

"Brother Sakuragi, are you really leaving? I haven't won against you even after holding my breath so many times!" and ,,,,," The team members recalled the events of the week.

"Haha, okay, I'm always waiting for your challenge!" Sakuragi's eyes were a little moist.

"Brother Sakuragi, come on! It's up to you to perform this year's Jaguar team!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely make Jaguar a first-class team! You have to practice hard, I will come to see you again!!"

The team members said their final goodbyes to Sakuragi.

"Maekawa-senpai, thank you! I've learned a lot this week, and I think my current physical condition is the best I've been in the last few years! Thank you so much!!" Sakuragi bowed deeply.

"Don't thank me, it's also related to your own efforts, remember my words Sakuragi!

"I remember, senior!!" Sakuragi had already burst into tears.

"Okay, let's go, let's go, don't cry, Sakuragi, it's not like you!"

"Goodbye, Maekawa-senpai !!"

After saying their final goodbyes to Maekawa, Sakuragi and his party set off to return to the Jaguar base.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, what a hot-blooded man, as if he saw himself back then!" Maekawa sighed.

At the military base on the other side, the instructor arranged a basketball game, and Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui and the other team members led the soldiers to compete with Akagi, Miyagi and the other team members and soldiers.

This kind of game is less nervous than the usual official game, and the players play more relaxed, playing rare entertainment basketball. After the game, it was time to part.

"The week-long special training is coming to an end, everyone has shown that you are all very qualified soldiers, your tenacious will and quality deeply infect me, I hope you will bring this spirit of never giving up to future competitions, I hope you can bring honor to the city of Kobe!"

"Instructor Maekawa, thank you for your hard work this week, let our team learn a lot, benefit a lot, these are not learned on the basketball court, thank you very much! This is the jersey of our Jaguar team, I give it to you, and I hope you have time to watch us play!!" Akagi thanked the instructor on behalf of the team and took out the jersey that had been prepared in advance.

"Hahaha, it looks like I'm part of the team too!!" the instructor took the jersey, very excited.

"Thank you for your hard work, Maekawa, and also take me to thank your brother, this week he must have been very hard to lead the special training of the team alone, next time we come to the city, we will have a good get-together!" Coach Oki was also ready to say goodbye to his old friend.

"You're welcome, but I'm curious about where that kid you let Yuanhang train alone came from. ”

"Haha, you can ask your brother directly!"

"Yes, I'm old, my head can't work!!Let's go. ”

The team members waved goodbye to the soldiers who came to see them off, and soon the bus slowly drove away.

The sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor echoed in the stadium for a long time.

I saw a player wearing a No. 7 training uniform burst to the inside line like a bolt of lightning, and a powerful slam dunk calmed everyone present.

"Wow!!It's too strong!! it's really fairy!!"

"Of course, last year, Xiandao almost single-handedly brought our team to the playoffs, although we still lost in the end, but our Xiandao has been recognized by fans across the country!"

"Yes, yes, this year, our team not only selected Yohei Mito, who is said to be the top scorer in the college league, but also our Afuku has returned from injury!

Several young players discussed, and the immortal road they were talking about was the No. 7 of Ling Nan back then, the invincible, the man who liked fishing, and Rukawa Kaede had always wanted to defeat - Xiandao Zhang!

And here, this is the team where Akira Sendo is located, and it is also the training hall of the Sendai Rovers team, who selected Yohei Mito in this year's draft, and everyone is training hard and actively preparing for the upcoming new season!

"Huh~~~" may be the reason for the long journey, and Miyagi, who just got off the bus, dozed off. "Huh, there seems to be someone practicing in the gym!!" the crowd who walked to the training hall heard the sound of playing.

Several players curiously pushed open the door, only to see Sakuragi doing special exercises on the court for "defensive footsteps", with sprints and shots for the whole court, and the high-intensity practice made Sakuragi's vest already soaked, and his whole body was like he had just come out of the pool.

"Yo! The big team is finally back. A middle-aged man who looked like a coach saw the players outside the door.

"Sakuragi, I don't know what kind of training he received this week, but it seems that the training mood is very high at the moment!" Miyagi sighed when he saw Sakuragi's training.

"Hey!!Miyagi, why are you stunned?Hurry up and train, and see if you can break my ball!" Sakuragi was really emotional.

"Hurry up and come on, it's only a month before the new season!!The other teams must be training intensively now, you guys are not training completely, and you're going to have to get out of your genius and retreat!!" Sakuragi was arrogant. "It seems that Sakuragi has indeed gained a lot this week, at least in terms of state, very full!Indeed, there is still a month to ,,, new season to start!"
