With Akagi's decision to undergo surgery, Akagi's reimbursement for the season was announced.

But it's not all bad news in the hospital.,Haruko, who came to visit her brother, ran into Sakuragi.,The two had a very heart-to-heart exchange.,As Sakuragi said his true thoughts.,The two gradually let go of the past.,Finally, be honest with each other.。

That sentence: Like is a matter of one person, and love is a matter of two people. I believe that every girl who has heard it will be moved!!

Sakuragi then took Haruko to Akagi's hospital room.

Before the operation, Akagi gave Sakuragi a final admonition!!

"Don't forget, I told you that!!"

"The one who controls the rebounds controls the whole court!!"

Sakuragi said without thinking.

"Right!! As long as you remember this sentence, I am relieved!! ”

"Captain, do you recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind and protect six for four?? Hmph, don't forget your original slogan: dominate the country!! I will definitely do it!! Just look at it!! ”

Sakuragi and Akagi clenched their fists and sympathized with each other!!

"What are you two doing, it feels like you're going to leave, as for it!!"

Haruko said with some confusion.

"Alright, Sakuragi, it's okay, tell them all to come in!!"

"We're already in the house!!"

As soon as Akagi finished speaking, Miyagi and the others, who were hiding around the corner of the door, rushed in.

"These guys,,,, you don't have to worry about me, get ready to go home, there are still games waiting for you!!"

Akagi instructed.

Subsequently, representatives of Akagi and the Jaguar team, who decided on the operation, worked with the experts at the hospital to determine the specific details of the operation and finalize the time.

"I'm leaving, Haruko, Akagi will trouble you to take care of it!!"

"Don't worry, Sakuragi, you have to take your brother's share, train hard, and come on!!"

"I will!!"

Before leaving, Sakuragi said goodbye to Haruko, and the two reunited after this Akagi injury incident, not only broke the previous barrier, but the relationship between the two seems to be closer than friends, if you use one word to describe the current relationship between the two~~ confidant.

After leaving the hospital, the Jaguar team set off for Kobe, although Akagi was left behind, but time waits for no one, and the next game is just around the corner.

Although in the previous game, Sakuragi replaced the position of Akagi as a center and received good results, but this is only a game, and Sakuragi cannot always play center, and the position of the power forward is as important as the position of the center!!

After returning to Kobe, Coach Oki also made certain adjustments to the lineup, and mentioned the starting position of the team's young center - Matsumura Tao, who rarely had the opportunity to play before, which is a challenge and an opportunity for a player who only played Akagi as a substitute in the past and only had less than 10 minutes of playing time per game.

On the Kobe side, Oki led the Jaguar team to prepare for the match, while Kawaguchi accompanied Akagi to the Tokyo National Medical University Hospital for medial deltoid ligament recovery surgery.

Kawaguchi and other Jaguar escorts were anxiously waiting.

When the light outside the operating room goes out, Kawaguchi's hanging heart may be put down.

"Wow!!"

After nearly four hours of waiting as the operating light went out, Akagi's surgery was finally over.

"How's it going, doctor??!!"

As soon as Akagi was pushed out, as if under anesthesia, Kawaguchi rushed up and asked the doctor.

"Don't worry, it's going well, the reason why it took so long is because we also dealt with his previous right ankle injury by the way!!"

After the surgeon took off his hat, he was already sweating profusely, although it was only a small operation on the foot, but it could be seen that the difficulty was not small.

"Thank you so much for that!!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, after the operation, you will stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time as originally planned, and if the wound heals well, you can go back to Kobe!! Then come over and check it regularly!! ”

"I'm sorry for you!! Thank you so much!! ”

"But you and your team, you have to be mentally prepared, the next recovery period will be quite long, during this period, not only will it test the willpower of Akagi Goken himself, but also your entire team, enlighten him more, encourage him more, and give good guidance, this is all the work you need to do!!"

"I got it!!"

"One more thing to remember: don't blindly come back early, don't !!"

"Thank you, I wrote it all!!"

In this way, Akagi completed the surgery and began a long recovery period.

The JBA league continues, due to the addition of two teams, so the corresponding schedule will also increase, this year except for the playoff spot restructuring, there is no other change, in the middle of the regular season, there will also be an annual fan feast~~ All-Star Game!!

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Sapporo, the territory of the New Army Dragons, and I vaguely remember last year's Hokkaido All-Star Game, the amazing slam dunk contest, the clogs slam dunk of Sakuragi Hanamichi, the 540-degree of Kuroki Amamei, the big windmill of Nakazato, etc., etc., and finally Fujiwara Takugawa's championship was also a surprise to everyone.

I don't know what incredible things will happen in this year's slam dunk contest.

The Jaguar team, which won two consecutive victories at the beginning, continued the journey of the regular season, Sakuragi's performance is getting better and better, and the team's foreign aid Simmons has gradually integrated into the team, and the Jaguar team is also winning consecutive battles, but in the face of a team with a strong center, the Jaguar team's interior line is still a little stretched, replacing Akagi's Matsumura Tao, still does not have enough experience, lost a few games, before the arrival of the All-Stars, the record came to 9-5, temporarily ranked fifth, if the regular season ends according to this ranking, The Jaguar team completed the plan to fight for four as they wished, and also successfully qualified for the playoffs.

"Sakuragi, registration for this year's All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest is about to begin, how about it, have you thought about any moves??!!

In the cafeteria of the Jaguar team's base, everyone finished the morning training and enjoyed lunch, and during the meal, Miyagi asked Sakuragi.

"Action?? Didn't think about it. ”

Sakuragi said as he ate, without hesitation at all.

"Huh?? No, you have to hurry, Sakuragi, last year we watched you give away the championship, and this year, as long as you play steadily, the championship is still very promising!! ”

Although Sakuragi doesn't seem to be very concerned, Miyagi seems to be in a hurry.

"Who said I was going to compete??"

Sakuragi asked.

"Aren't you going to participate in this year's slam dunk contest? You want it!! What a great opportunity to show yourself!! ”

Miyagi put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his expression became serious.

"I thought about it, I really didn't participate!!"

Sakuragi also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said it seriously.

"What a great opportunity, you have such a good talent, you should show it, and your fans should want you to participate!!"

Miyagi still didn't want to give up and continued to persuade.

"The situation is different now than last year, my attention is now all focused on the regular season game, although we are now in fifth place, but we have no advantage, and after Akagi's reimbursement, the inside line is already tight, and the slam dunk contest is also dangerous, so, I don't want to take this risk, I can't get hurt anymore!!"

Sakuragi said earnestly, and Miyagi's eyes widened when he heard it.

"I didn't expect you to think so much about Sakuragi,,,, oh my God, are you still the Sakuragi I know?!"

"Of course,,, everyone will slowly mature, especially after encountering something, it will speed up this maturity!!"

"Well, since this is a mature decision made by our mature Sakuragi, then I won't say anything more!! Eat quickly, go back to take a nap after eating, I had some insomnia last night, sleepy!! ”

"Without me, you would have lost sleep??!! It seems that you are still used to sleeping in the same bed with me!! Miyagi !! Ha ha!! ”

(When playing away games, Miyagi and Sakuragi always live in the same room.) )
