After the Sapporo All-Star Break, teams begin to prepare for the rest of the regular season, which is also the playoff battle.

Although the Jaguar team, which is ranked fifth, is completing its goal of protecting six and fighting for four step by step, they still want to make the team more effective as much as possible in times of peace, especially after losing Akagi, the Jaguar team feels more and more that the fifth place cannot be kept!

So as a result, the Jaguar team decided to recall the loan to CSKA Moscow, cutting Rukawa Kaede, which was just expired.

After consulting with the team, Rukawa Kaede reached an agreement, and after more than half a year of traveling to Europe, Rukawa Kaede is coming back!

Before leaving, Rukawa Kaede also said goodbye to Katori Muxi.

"Hey, I'm going home. ”

"What a sudden!!Where are you, can we see each other again??"

"I'm waiting for my flight, so I'll be going right away. ”

Rukawa Kaede rarely takes the initiative to contact others, and she is still a girl, so it can be seen that in the past half a year, the emotions of the two have accumulated quite a lot!!

"Okay, then take care of yourself, stay safe on the road!!"

"Well, I',,,, I'll ,,,, goodbye. ”

Rukawa Kaede seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it!

"When you go back, you have to keep in touch often, and if you have the chance, you can go back to Moscow!!"

Mu Xi said affectionately.

"If you have a chance, go back to Japan, and please watch my game!!"

Rukawa Kaede took the initiative to invite girls.,This may be the first time in my life.,It seems that I've been in Moscow for more than half a year.,It's not clear how much your skills have grown.,The personality is deeply infected by open Westerners!!

In this way, Rukawa Kaede set off for Japan, Kobe, and the Jaguar team.

"What!! how is it possible, it's only been more than half a year, isn't it a year??!!"

Miyagi told Sakuragi the news of Rukawa Kaede's return, and Sakuragi was furious when he learned about it, and Sakuragi didn't seem to be so excited for a long time!!

"I don't know the specific situation, anyway, I heard that Rukawa Kaede's plane today should be almost there!!"

"This guy can't get along over there, so he's coming back, maybe he's still cut by the team!!"

Sakuragi began to fantasize with a big brain!!

"Eh, you don't have to think about it so much, it's a good thing anyway!!"

Miyagi is very hopeful that the team can win more games.

"It's good to come back, I want to see if he has improved a lot over there in the past half a year, or if I have improved a lot!!"

Sakuragi said, revealing his trademark resolute look again.

It seems that the civil war between Ryu and Sakura is about to start again.

Rukawa Kaede's flight arrived at Kobe Airport on time, and Kawaguchi and other team executives had been waiting for a long time, and after receiving Rukawa Kaede, everyone quickly returned to the Jaguar base.

"Look who's back!!"

Kawaguchi took Rukawa Kaede to the training hall first, and the moment Kawaguchi opened the door, all the eyes of everyone in the hall were on the two of them.

"Oh~~~~"

"Is this really Rukawa Kaede??!!

Seeing Rukawa Kaede approaching, the team members let out exclamations, and Miyagi was still suspicious.

"Why, it's only been more than half a year, and you don't know me??"

Rukawa Kaede walked up to everyone's side and said.

What may make Miyagi and others suspicious is not the change in Rukawa Kaede's appearance, but the change in Rukawa Kaede's figure, after going to CSKA Moscow, Rukawa Kaede received unprecedented strength training, and in the European league that emphasizes physical confrontation, there is no body of a fitness coach, and it is really difficult to gain a foothold!

If the muscle lines of Rukawa Kaede belonged to the kind of elegant and capable type before, then now Rukawa Kaede's muscles belong to the vigorous and domineering type, especially Rukawa Kaede also wore a slim white T-shirt, and the muscles of the shoulders were also towering!

In short, the current Rukawa Kaede is three times thicker than the Rukawa Kaede half a year ago!!

"You're going to the boxing team, Rukawa Kaede!!"

Mitsui walked up, touched Rukawa Kaede's biceps, and sighed.

"What's the matter, it's just that the training methods and eating habits over there are very different from those here!"

"Hmph, basketball is not a wrist-wrestling game!!"

Sakuragi walked through the crowd to Rukawa Kaede, and the two stood together to compare, as if Rukawa Kaede was stronger!!

"Yes, basketball is not a foul game!!"

Rukawa Kaede retorted.

"The two of them still pinch when they meet!!Okay, this time the team is lively again!!"

Seeing this, Miyagi also sighed on the side.

"Alright, alright, don't argue, no matter when you come back, we welcome you, Rukawa Kaede!!This will always be your home!!"

Coach Oki finally walked over, as if he had a jersey in his hand.

"Long time no see, thank you, Coach!!"

"Now, take it, although you just came back by plane, but even if you are asked to rest, I don't think you will go, so let's just come!!"

Coach Oki said as he took the jersey he was holding to Kaede Rukawa.

"Thank you, I'll go get ready and I'll be right back!!"

Rukawa Kaede turned around and left after speaking, it seems that Rukawa Kaede really can't wait to put into training, and there is a game that is coming soon!!

The next game of the Jaguar team is to challenge Hokkaido Lavender away from home, and Rukawa Kaede will usher in his debut after returning!!

"Akagi, how's it going??"

Before leaving for the away game, Rukawa Kaede came to Akagi's residence to visit this old teammate.

"The surgery was successful and is recovering as planned, I didn't expect you to come back so soon!!"

"The team needs me, I'll be back anytime!!"

"Come on, let me see how much you've learned over there during this time!!"

"No problem, don't worry!!"

After a few brief greetings, Rukawa Kaede prepared to leave.

"This guy Rukawa Kaede has grown so strong, and he really didn't recognize it for a while,,, come on, become the one who carries the banner!!"

Looking at the back of Rukawa Kaede leaving, Akagi sighed.

The Jaguar team set off for Hokkaido.

"Lavender!!"

"Defend!!"

"Lavender!!"

"Defend!!"

Lavender's new home lavender house, the crowd is full of voices, the game between the Jaguar team and the lavender team has come to the second half, the first half of the two sides are inseparable, the Jaguar team Rukawa Kaede did not play much time in the first half, may still be looking for the state of the game, all relying on Sakuragi's continuous grabbing on the inside line and then biting the score.

The Lavender are in good shape, with frequent long-range shots from the outside, and in the second half of the game, see who can take the lead.

"Keep an eye on Rukawa Kaede!!"

The Lavender head coach reminded the players.

Due to the return of Rukawa Kaede, the Jaguar team adjusted the starting lineup, putting Mitsui in the sixth man position, with Sakuragi and Simmons partnering in the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi in the backcourt, and Matsumura Tao continuing to take Akagi's place.

After the start of the second half, Rukawa Kaede began to be active, and he frequently played important positions.

It seems that the dozing tiger is waking up!!

"This,,This guy,I haven't seen him for a year,Why is he so energetic??"

Rukawa Kaede is asking for the ball with his body, and the huge recoil makes the defender Sekiya Xiaobei quite difficult!!

Simmons saw that Rukawa Kaede was stuck in position, and made a ground-hitting pass to Rukawa Kaede.

"It's coming!!Rukawa Kaede, who has returned from a short trip to Europe, is going to attack, let's see if he has improved!!"

The commentary is also quite looking forward to the performance of Rukawa Kaede.

After Rukawa Kaede got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly singled Sekiya with his back.

"It's ,,, damnable,,, the strength is too strong,,, I can't bear it!!"

Guan Gu struggled to block in the back, but he regressed.

Rukawa Kaede looked very calm, and after a while, he had already come to the paint area.

Guan Gu not only suffers from strength, but also has a slight advantage in height.

"Brush!!"

As soon as the words fell, Rukawa Kaede turned around and hit a small hook hand, hollow hit.

"Oh my God, is Rukawa Kaede starting to exert his strength!!This is simply a crushing attack, not talking about any routines at all, it is a complete suppression of strength!!

"What's the matter, Guan Gu, next time I change the defense, if you talk about strength, I really haven't been afraid of anyone!!"

The person who said this was none other than the lavender small forward Yanagita Amano, don't look at Amano's slender figure, he is also a fierce general in defense, especially the long arms like an octopus!!
