Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is now in a semi-retired state, and is currently living a retired life, Sakuragi has not officially announced his retirement.

So, maybe, one day in the future, you'll see the exciting moment of Hanamichi Sakuragi, wearing the No. 6 jersey of the Waves, blocking the opponent's slam dunk on the court and grabbing the rebound under the defense of three people.

Because there are already cases like Mitsui's, there is no reason not to look forward to Sakuragi.

But no matter what, Sakuragi Hanamichi will no longer wear the red and white No. 10 jersey of Xiangbei High School.

Because it's a piece of history that can't be returned.

Moreover, Sakuragi's No. 10 jersey is not only Sakuragi himself can no longer wear it, but even others have no chance.

Because Xiangbei High School decided to retire Sakuragi's No. 10 jersey in order to commend Sakuragi's contribution to the team that year, and in order to let the spirit of Sakuragi Hanamichi be passed on forever in Xiangbei.

As he spoke, the retirement ceremony was about to begin.

In the training hall of the Xiangbei team, a large number of familiar faces gathered at the scene.

"Sakuragi-senpai, it's really handsome~!!"

Of course, the descendant of Xiangbei, Teng Zhencheli, also sat next to his brother.

Because it was the break time for the JBA All-Star Game, all of them who basically had something to do with Sakuragi came.

"Sakuragi~~~"

Haruko also came all the way from London, looking at this situation, Haruko should be the most touched.

It was Haruko and Sakuragi who were here together and started the basketball road.

"Hey~~, Takamiya, are you ready~~??"

"Yohei, where are you~??"

"Noma, move faster~!!"

"Da Nan, what about you~??"

Of course, the Sakuragi Army, how can they be missing.

Along the way, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Sakuragi Legion can be said to have achieved each other.

There are also coaches such as Coach Ohki, Coach Moriyama, and Coach Maekawa, who also came to the scene.

Because of physical reasons, Coach Anzai did not come, but because of the live webcast, Coach Anzay can still be seen at home~~

This is not so much a high school jersey retirement ceremony as Sakuragi Hanamichi's high school jersey retirement ceremony, but more like a big gathering of "slam dunk".

As he spoke, the ritual had already begun.

"Next, I would like to invite our protagonist today, a former member of the Xiangbei basketball team - Sakuragi Hanamichi ~ !!"

Under the host's appearance, Sakuragi, dressed in a black suit, blue tie, holding a speech in his hand, and looking "oily and slippery" with hairspray on his head, appeared on the stage.

"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!!!"

The scene was also thunderous with instant applause~~

"Sakuragi~!!"

The audience here is also dressed up to attend, and he is already in tears, but Sakuragi hasn't said anything yet.

Maybe it's because I'm too familiar with Sakuragi, so I know that Sakuragi is not easy to come all the way~~

Sakuragi walked to the front of the stage and bowed deeply.

Returning to the podium, Sakuragi flipped through the manuscript and read it.

"To be the first player in the history of the Xiangbei High School basketball team to retire the jersey, for me, this is a unique supreme honor, I am grateful to Xiangbei High School, and I am also grateful to myself, I chose basketball, chose to be Xiangbei, and made a comeback to all my ~!!"

Sakuragi's words at the beginning were still very encouraging~~

"More than three months ago, when I learned that I might have to stay away from the basketball court, I was desperate~~, because I was used to soaking in the basketball court every day, and even ignoring my girlfriend, because since Xiangbei High School, I have been like this~~, but slowly, when I found that some things could not be changed, I realized that my struggles were all powerless, and looking back on the road I have traveled over the years, I have also been quite content, I have won the championship, participated in the slam dunk contest, and slowly practiced the three-point shot after that, haha~!!"

Sakuragi laughed at himself as he spoke.

"Maybe the most regrettable thing is that I couldn't help the Xiangbei team and win the championship of the national competition, I think this is why campus basketball is even more memorable, because he doesn't give you a chance every year, at most three years, at least, maybe just like me, only one year, so, if you don't go all out at that time, then you can only regret it for life~!! But I don't think I'm completely sorry, because I've used all my energy, I've given it all I have, we defeated Sanno Industry at that time, and proved ourselves in front of the people of the whole country~!!"

"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!!"

Sakuragi said this, and the audience burst into applause again.

"But of course, thanks to my teammates, captain Akagi, he doesn't like me to call him a gorilla the most, haha~~"

Sakuragi said this, the camera swept to Akagi's face, and it was a smile that enjoyed this joke~~

"Miyagi, who taught me to dribble, is now a super dad, Mitsui, who taught me to shoot, is now the owner of this field, and our sixth man, Mu Dui, I really didn't expect that the glasses brother who couldn't play the main force back then would be the first to win the championship, haha~!!"

Sakuragi continued to say in a teasing tone.

"Of course, there was also the player I hated the most in the team at that time-Rukawa Kaede, he was better than me in every aspect, and the most important thing was that the girl I liked at the time had been secretly in love with him~!!hahaha~!!"

Sakuragi continued to tease.

"Hahahaha~!!!"

There were also bursts of laughter from the audience.

Rukawa Kaede also shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Haruko smiled knowingly.

It really looks like someone has said: no matter how difficult things have happened in the past, they will be said with a smile in the future.

That's true.

Sakuragi's speech continued.

"I want to thank my girlfriend, every time I encounter a difficult situation, she is the one who helps me get out of this predicament~!!"

Sakuragi looked at the shirt in the audience and said.

Xi Qi covered his mouth, and he was already crying.

"I also wish Coach Anxi good health, you pay attention to your body and take care~!!"

Sakuragi also conveyed his wishes to his mentor through the lens.

"Roar Roar Roar ~~~"

Lying on the hospital bed, Coach Anxi, who saw this scene, still had a classic laugh.

"My heart will always be in Xiangbei ~ !!"

"Papapa~!!!!!!"

With thunderous applause at the scene again, Sakuragi's speech ended.

Next, there is the most eye-catching "unveiling session".

Sakuragi Hanamichi and the vice principal of Xiangbei High School and the director of the physical education department, the three of them came to the black cloth together.

The three of them slowly pulled down the black cloth~~, and everyone also stood up one after another, taking pictures with their mobile phones, commemorating the arrival of the historic moment.

I saw the most familiar No. 10 jersey with red lines on a white background, the number was written Hanamichi Sakuragi (Sakuragi Flower Road), and the number was written 2002-2003 below, which was the year of Sakuragi Hanamichi when he was a freshman in high school, and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

As if looking at the jersey, it was as if I saw the owner of the jersey back then, with flaming red hair, running all over the court, desperately grabbing rebounds Sakuragi Hanamichi~!!

Sakuragi looked at his jersey, pounded his chest, pursed his lips, and seemed to be moved to tears.

This No. 10 jersey, the No. 10 jersey of the Xiangbei team belonging to Sakuragi Hanamichi, will always be hung on the wall of the Xiangbei team training hall and in everyone's hearts.
