Chapter 10 Gold Medal Leader
"Be teammates with gorillas,,,," Sakuragi thought again.
"Isn't it begging for you to join the team today, gorilla!" Sakuragi suddenly leaned into Akagi's ear and whispered.
"Stupid! Unreasonable!" Akagi burst into flames and struck Sakuragi on the top of the head.
"Brother!" Sakuragi has just recovered ,,,," Haruko saw that her brother's hand was a little heavy.
"He's fine, don't worry!" Akagi said firmly.
"Could it be that Akagi is really Team Jaguar?!" Sakuragi confirmed again.
"Of course, not only me, Miyagi, Mitsui, are also in the team, and you and Rukawa Kaede, who are newly selected this year, our old Xiangbei has gathered again!" Akagi said with a resolute look in his eyes, as if he wanted to dominate the country in Xiangbei at the beginning.
"Miyagi, Miyagi! It's great! Hahahaha, if only there wasn't that damn fox!" Sakuragi smiled happily again, but when he thought of Rukawa Kaede, his mood fell again.
"Okay, don't mumble there, when your injuries are healed, I'll take you back to the team for a training camp. Akagi said.
"My injuries have long been healed, no problem, you see. Sakuragi said and began to stretch.
"No, listen to the doctor's arrangement, I'll go out, if you dare to leave the hospital without permission,,,, the consequences you know,,," Akagi finally suddenly showed a fierce light, which made Sakuragi tremble.
"Don't worry, Akagi, with us, Sakuragi won't even be able to get out of bed!"
"You guys!!" Sakuragi gritted his teeth angrily.
After a week of rehabilitation, Sakuragi was finally discharged from the hospital.
"Hahaha, I was finally discharged from the hospital today!! I can finally play basketball!! hahahaha"
"Stupid, yelling, stepped on my foot!"
"Sakuragi, come on!"
"Haruko, don't worry, you just wait for this day to dominate the country, hahahaha!"
"Stupid, get in the car, you won't be able to catch the plane anymore!"
"Haruko, you should pay attention to your body when you work outside alone, don't be too tired, call me if there is any situation. ”
"I know my brother, my brother has to work hard!"
"Haruko~~~!" Sakuragi was a little reluctant.
"Get in the car, stupid!"
After Akagi and Sakuragi say goodbye to Haruko, the two finally set off for Kobe to join the team that is training there!
"Mitsui, why didn't you see our coach?" asked Rukawa Kaede.
"I heard that the team has a new coach this year, and I only saw it at the press conference, and he looks like a very kind uncle, but he has disappeared since the press conference, and he has never been seen again, and I have asked Kawaguchi, and he doesn't know very well. Mitsui explained for a long time.
"And, without a coach, our aimless training is ineffective. "Rukawa Kaede doesn't seem to be used to this kind of training.
"Why don't we go to the gym and practice our strength!" Miyagi saw that Rukawa Kaede didn't have any enthusiasm for training, and put forward an idea.
"Miyagi! If you go to the gym, then how can you miss this fitness expert!!!
Sakuragi suddenly came in through the gate of the training hall and said as he walked.
"Are you??" Miyagi looked at the person in front of him with a familiar face, but he wasn't quite sure.
"Could it be Sakuragi?" Mitsui seemed to recognize.
"Hahaha, I'm still a junior with good eyesight, I just lost my red hair, but my strength is not retreating, I have returned from training in the United States, and I am the core figure of the future Jaguar team!
"Actually, it's a big idiot,,," Rukawa Kaede took a basin of cold water.
"Rukawa Kaede!! you say it again!!! hateful !!!!! junior, don't pull me !!" Sakuragi was furious.
"It really doesn't matter if the two of them are in a team. Miyagi lamented.
"Hmph, less proud!Rukawa Kaede, our duel isn't over yet, do you dare to continue, it's time for me to serve!" Sakuragi was still thinking about the previous duel.
"Idiot, I'm afraid of you?" Rukawa Kaede also seemed to be in high spirits.
"Okay, you guys don't make trouble, why are you still like high school students!" Akagi walked into the arena.
"Rukawa Kaede, I haven't seen you for a few years, you're getting more and more aggressive!" Akagi said.
"It's fine. "Rukawa Kaede is a tacit acquiescence.
"Okay, the duel between the two of you has passed, now is the time for the Jaguar team to train, everyone should cheer up and train hard, although everyone has not seen each other for a long time, but the old should be put after the training, everyone should now show the results of the training in the past few years, I am very much looking forward to it!" Akagi said like an instructor.
"Akagi, could the coach be you?!" Rukawa Kaede guessed.
"Akagi has the qualifications to be a coach, but for now, he's better to be the team's inner pillar!" a gray-haired uncle walked in through the side door, followed by Kawaguchi and some people in uniform.
This uncle is quite tall, and he has to be 180 cm in visual inspection, his body is very straight, and although his body is not that burly, he looks very strong!, you know, people will shorten their height when they reach a certain age, so the first feeling is that this uncle must have something to do with basketball, and now, this is the case!
"Sakuragi, Akagi, you're finally back, it's great, now the former Xiangbei Five Tigers have finally gathered!!Oh my God!!!! it's like a dream!!" Kawaguchi looked at the five people in front of him, as if he had seen an idol in his heart!
"Hey, hey, hey, Kawaguchi, who the hell is this uncle!!" Sakuragi leaned over and asked curiously.
"Ahhh “
"What a strange name, what about my father, miss my father!!" Sakuragi slipped into Akagi's ear.
"Stupid, you still have a strange name!!" Akagi reprimanded Sakuragi again!
Later, Akagi talked about the history of coaching: "I have only heard, I have never seen with my own eyes, the coach was known as a gold medal shooter back then, especially the three-point shots from the two bases, and he was extremely accurate! He once helped the Osaka Iron Horse team win a JBA championship, and he is also a member of the JBA Hall of Fame, and the total number of three-point shots in his career is also ranked second in JBA history!"
"Oh!!" Hearing Akagi's introduction, everyone was amazed.
"This senior, is it my father's idol back then! Gold Medal Oki!" Mitsui said.
"What are you guys muttering!!!Something out loud!" the coach said as he walked into the crowd.
"I've read all your basic information, and I've heard that many of you are high school alumni, it's really interesting, I didn't plan to go out to teach again, but this guy Kawaguchi is really too persevering! If I don't come again, Kawaguchi will jump off the building, and I also want to see what kind of chemistry this high school alumni will have when they go to play in a professional league together!" The coach said slowly, and his attitude was also very easy-going, giving people the feeling of an old man telling a story!
"Actually, I'm not sure if you'll be able to coach our team in this ,,,,,,, so thank you again for coming! Thank you so much!" Kawaguchi bowed and thanked him. "No need to thank me, Kawaguchi, since I'm here, I'm sure I'll do my best to help the team!" the coach said, helping Kawaguchi up.
"Okay, maybe someone has already briefly introduced me just now, so I'll introduce myself again! My name is Oki Ichishimoto, and I'm your new head coach from today onwards, so it's a pleasure to work with you!" the coach walked over to the tactics board and continued.
"My coaching philosophy is to establish the culture of the team, to have my own style of play, to have my own philosophy, to create a very good team atmosphere! Maybe I don't know you know this, but the most basic thing is that everyone must be united! Today is our team's first training session, and we start by building a tenacious and resilient team! So let's get ready, I'm going to take you out of the stadium and go to another place for a week of closed training!"
"Leaving the arena??"
"What the hell is it?"
"There is an ominous premonition,,,"
The players were talking. "Okay, let's stop talking in private, let's go back to the dormitory and pack our luggage, a week is not a short time, everyone has brought all the daily necessities, and you are not allowed to run away halfway!!" Coach Oki left the court after speaking. "It's a mysterious training camp, I can't wait for this day!!" Sakuragi is already eager to try. "Eh, looking at Sakuragi with such enthusiasm really reminds me of my high school days!" Mitsui sighed. "I have no choice, I have to wait for the end of this training camp for a few of our old friends to get together again!" Miyagi said.
What is the mysterious training camp that Sakuragi is eager to try, and how does Coach Ohki build this team with Xiangbei as the team!
Coach Oki Ichishimoto seems to be confident!
