Akagi, who was injured in the match against the Great White Shark, was consulted by experts and came up with a terrible result: a torn deltoid ligament on the medial side of the ankle.

Such a sudden injury made Akagi have to make a choice.

First, conservative treatment can lead to fast recovery, but it will leave a great hidden danger, even a hidden danger of disability.

Second, surgical treatment, recovery is slow, as short as one year. It can be a year and a half, or even more!The relative risk is also smaller, but in this way, Akagi's return to the team will be far away!!

But Akagi's attitude is one, and such an idea was immediately opposed by the manager Kawaguchi and Coach Ohki, and for the sake of Akagi's future, he must not take such a big risk!!

"I know Akagi is concerned about the team, and I can't wait to return to the team and continue training with Sakuragi, but we have to focus on the future, you are only 25 years old now, and your future career is still very long, we have to be responsible for your future!

Coach Oki began to persuade Akagi.

"Don't worry, Akagi, the attitude of the team's top management is very clear, no matter what kind of surgery you undergo and how long it takes to recover, the team will wait for you, you will always be a member of the Jaguar team, so, Akagi, give up conservative treatment, and undergo surgery with peace of mind, and you can also see that even if you are not on the field, Sakuragi and others can still lead the team to win the game, so, you really don't have to worry about it anymore!!"

After Oki finished speaking, Kawaguchi began to persuade again, I don't know if such persuasion will make Akagi change his mind.

"That's it, please bring Sakuragi Hanamichi, I have something to tell him!!"

After Akagi finished speaking, Kawaguchi and Oki left the ward and called Sakuragi.

"Why didn't you see Sakuragi??!!"

After Coach Oki came to the house, he searched for a long time but did not find Sakuragi's shadow.

"Oh, Sakuragi, it seems that after seeing Haruko coming, he left, Haruko!!That's the goddess in Sakuragi's heart!!"

Miyagi replied.

"This Sakuragi Hanamichi, really, disappear at a critical moment!!"

Coach Damu didn't have much to do, the two of them shouldn't have gone far, and Damu was waiting at the door.

"I've only been away for a while, that's it, you really can't live without me!!"

As soon as Oki sat on the chair, he saw Sakuragi appear in front of him, and Sakuragi was also holding a girl!!

When I walked in, Sakuragi was actually on Haruko's shoulder!!

"Sakura,,, Sakuragi,,, are you ,,,, !!! Haruko"

Miyagi couldn't believe everything in front of him, and his eyes widened!!

What happened to Sakuragi and Haruko just now, how could the two who hadn't been in touch for a long time reappear in a shoulder to shoulder ??!! rewind the time to 20 minutes ago.

"You should be waiting at your brother's door for them to end their conversation!!"

"Sakuragi, I knew I was going to meet you before I came here, so I wanted to have a good talk with you!!"

Sure enough, as Miyagi said, after coming to the hospital, Haruko saw Sakuragi and took him to the corner of the corridor, this is the first time the two have met since the last Sakuragi steakhouse confession incident, and more than half a year has passed during this period!!

And from Miyagi's words before, it can be heard that the matter between Sakuragi and Haruko does not seem to have been revealed to the world.

"What to talk about, you should have a good talk with your brother now, although he always looks so masculine on the outside, but, in his heart, he really needs someone to accompany him!!"

"Sakuragi, you have changed, you have become more mature than before, maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but from your words and your performance on the field, I can be sure that you are gradually changing from a big boy to a big man!!"

Haruko said.

"Why do you say this?"

Sakuragi's tone softened slightly.

"There's no why, because I saw the Sakuragi who fought the field, the Sakuragi who never gave up, these are what I saw and felt, and I'm glad that you can forget those unpleasantness and be yourself again!!"

"I'm just doing what a basketball player does, nothing. ”

Haruko's words made Sakuragi change his tone again, and this time it returned to normal. After all, it was Haruko who was facing her, and no matter what happened, Sakuragi's heart would still be soft.

"So Sakuragi, are you relieved of the past??"

"Relieved??haha,How is it possible!!Maybe I will never be relieved!!That's half of Sakuragi Hanamichi's youth!!"

Sakuragi said melancholy, and Haruko was also very uncomfortable to hear.

"I'm sorry, Sakuragi, it's all my ,,,,!"

"Don't say it, Haruko, it's not your fault, anyone's youth will make mistakes, and anyone's youth will fall into a world of self, at that time I only knew what liking was, but I didn't understand what love was, but now, I understand a little bit, liking, maybe it's just one person's thing, but love is two people's !。 ”

Sakuragi said these words very seriously, perhaps this is the most serious passage in Sakuragi's life, these words, this made Haruko a little tearful.

"Sakuragi,,, Sakuragi, I'm really touched that you said such things, in fact, I just want to know what you really think, and if you really think so, I'm very happy!!"

Haruko said with tears in her eyes.

"Haruko, you and I are both adults, so, I'm just telling the truth, maybe we were in the way of some things before, so we couldn't be honest with each other, I hope from now on, we will still be like in high school, pure friends!!, okay??Haruko!!"

"Of course you can!! Sakuragi!!"

After Haruko finished speaking, she trotted two steps and hugged Sakuragi tightly.

When he was suddenly hugged by Haruko, Sakuragi was a little dumbfounded, and his face couldn't help but flush, maybe Sakuragi hadn't been hugged by a girl bear for a long time!!

"Let's go, Haruko, I haven't seen your brother yet!!"

"Well, let's go, why am I crying, it's really ,,,"

"I was so touched by it!!"

"This~~~~"

The two of them walked to Akagi's hospital room as they spoke.

In this way, Sakuragi and Haruko let go of their suspicions, and after some heart-to-heart communication, the two finally treated each other honestly, and the back of the two of them left with a smile as if they were walking in the corridor of high school, as if they had returned to the past.

"Sakura,,, Sakuragi,,, are you ,,,, !!! Haruko"

Miyagi saw Sakuragi walking over with Haruko on his shoulder, and couldn't believe what was in front of him, and his eyes widened!!

"We're good friends, who said good friends can't stand shoulder to shoulder, right, Haruko!!"

"yes, haha!!"

The tacit understanding between the two rose suddenly, which also made Miyagi a little dizzy.

"Let's come in, Sakuragi, Akagi is looking for you!!"

Oki said.

"Oh, okay, let's come in, Haruko!!"

"Hmm!!"

Sakuragi walked into the hospital room with Haruko.

"Haruko??"

Seeing Haruko's arrival, Akagi looked very surprised.

"I'll take care of you, brother, don't worry, the school has been doing activities recently, and they are all on vacation, so it won't delay me!!"

"I'm sorry for your trouble, Haruko!!"

"Oh, you're so polite to your sister!!By the way, Akagi, what's the matter with me??"

Sakuragi walked in and sat down.

"I've decided!!,,,, for surgery"

When Akagi said it, he was very resolute, and it seemed that Akagi had made up his mind.

"Really??Captain!!"

Sakuragi's expression began to tense.

"Really!!"

"But,,, why don't I take you to the United States, Akagi, the technology over there should be better!!"

Sakuragi stood up excitedly.

"No need, Sakuragi, I came to you just to tell you that during the time I was not on the team after the operation, you have to train hard, we have a great chance of qualifying for the playoffs this year, don't forget the goal set by the team before the start of the season, I believe you, Mitsui, and Miyagi, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped, you lead the team, I believe you will definitely accomplish this goal!!Don't forget, what I told you!!"

Originally, Sakuragi was very excited, and was even more sad by Akagi's words.

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

Sakuragi said without thinking.
