Chapter 39: Naito's Choice
"Yes......... Can you catch up with Rukawa Kaede? Sakuragi seemed to see a glimmer of light, but he didn't dare to be too sure, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and just stared at Coach Anzai tightly.
"As long as you have enough patience and enough effort!" Anthy's eyes were still firm, and his tone trembled slightly because of excitement.
"Patience and hard work? Like you said, this is my Sakuragi Hanamichi talent, and no one will be more patient and willing to work hard than me. Sakuragi's expression changed completely, and the depression and sadness he had just felt were gone, replaced by the same arrogance as before. Daddy, what are we waiting for? No matter how many years it takes, I'm going to have to defeat Rukawa Kaede, but I hope we can start right away and let that day come a little sooner! Sakuragi Hanamichi, who jumped from the bed to the ground, not only had a resolute look in his eyes, but also had a smile of expectation on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, Sakuragi! I'm as anxious as you are, but what you need to do now is eat first, then get a good night's sleep, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!" "Sakuragi's performance gave Coach Anzai's heart some comfort. Knowing from the doctor that Sakuragi might be what he is now, Coach Anzai has not stopped exercising for this moment.
"I can't wait, Dad~ I hope you're harsher on me ~ than you were in college." Sakuragi felt his whole body full of strength and his stomach filled with hunger.
Sakuragi Hanamichi gobbled up her meal, Sakuragi's mother kept wiping tears with joy, and Sakuragi was her only hope for the mother and son who depended on each other. Coach Anzai left here after making an agreement with Sakuragi's mother to leave with Sakuragi Hanamichi for a while.
The next day was the weekend, and early in the morning, Haruko followed Mito Yohei to Sakuragi's house. Both of them were very worried about Sakuragi Hanamichi, so they came very early. But they didn't see Sakuragi Hanamichi, but they learned from Sakuragi's mother that Coach Anzai took Sakuragi away, as if he had gone to a university, and didn't say when he would come back.
In the stadium in Lingnan, intense training has begun. Except for Shikuichi Kokaka, who was standing on the sidelines and gritted his teeth because Sendo was late and didn't come~, everyone in the venue seemed very busy. The county preliminaries for the winter selection are getting closer and closer, and when the whole team is nervously preparing for the game, Xiandao, the main general, insists on being late rain or shine. Shigeichi Taoka really doesn't know if that kid likes night fishing......
"Guided by Oka!" A sudden voice interrupted Shigeichi Taoka's thoughts, whose voice was Shigeichi Tao, but he knew that Shigeichi was not an immortal.
"Practice your ball, don't bother me!" Shigeichi Taoka turned his back to the door, waiting for the appearance of the fairy road, and replied without looking back.
"....... oh!" The man behind him hesitated, but soon the sound of putting things down was heard. Waiting for the person behind him to walk past Shigeichi Taoka's side, Shigeichi Taoka's eyes lit up, it was indeed not an immortal way, but it did make Shigeichi Taoka's mood better.
"Naito? When did you come, I thought ...... just now I'm not rushing at you, that guy from Xiandao is late again, and I'm losing his temper. Shigeichi Kooka looked surprised, although he knew that Naito would definitely come once, and he would dream of Naito Tetsuya in his dreams at night.
"I just arrived, too." Naito didn't seem to care, and lowered his body to take the trophy of the Akino Kuni body and handed it to Shikuichi Koka.
"Coach morning! Naito~~ Long time no see! "It's quite a good time for Xiandao to appear, although Shigeichi Taoka's eyes are still vicious, but he hasn't lost any temper with Xiandao, he has more important things to do now.
Shigeichi Tagioka ignored Sendo, and when Naito greeted Sendo, Taoka said to Naito: "The captain of Sendo is really incompetent. How are you thinking about it? If you can come to Lingnan, I will make you the captain of the basketball team. "Hooking up ~ seducing Naito is the top priority of Shigeichi Taoka right now, and he is paying attention to Naito's performance while talking.
"That's not good......" Naito looked at Sendo with a look of embarrassment.
"There's nothing wrong with it, Lingnan's tradition is to be the captain of the inside line, just like a fish to live!" Shigeru Ogaoka was at first, but the method didn't matter, what he valued was the result.
"Captain, I think you should think about it again...... I've decided to transfer to Lingnan. "In the matter of transferring to Lingnan, Murayu played a big role. Naito returned to Miuradai with the trophy, and Murayu and other third-graders were also happy for Naito. After Naito mentioned Shigeichi Taoka's invitation, Murayu made an objective analysis-------- Kanagawa will inevitably be the world of immortals in the future, which made Naito finally choose Lingnan.
"Welcome to Lingnan!" Sendo actually didn't leave all the time, but just stood behind Shigeichi Taoka. Shigeichi Taoka cared too much about Naito in front of him and didn't notice it at all, so when he mentioned letting Naito be the captain, Naito would be so embarrassed.
Sendo's words woke Shigeichi Taoka from his shock. Looking at the two people holding hands, Shigeichi Taoka was a little ecstatic, and turned around a few times in place~ I don't know what to do.
"Did the coach forget to take his medicine?" Lingnan's players have long noticed the appearance of Naito and Xiandao, but the coach's inexplicable performance makes them a little confused.
"It's not a stomach ache like that, I think it's possible that I have taken too much stomach medicine......" Anyway, the coach couldn't hear it, and the players in Lingnan lowered their voices and teased Shigeichi Taoka to their heart's content.
"All assembled!" At a loss for a while, Shigeichi Taoka finally recovered a little, and gathered the team loudly. When everyone gathered, Shigeichi Taoka was more excited than winning the Autumn National Sports Championship, took Naito Tetsuya's hand and said, "I have good news for everyone, Kanagawa's chief center Tetsuya Naito has decided to transfer to our Lingnan." ”
The players of Lingnan applauded and welcomed. Naito looked very twisted, and his face was flushed by Shigeichi Taoka. While waving his hands, he argued: "I'm a vegetarian, I'm not a ......."
"The second thing, I announce that from today onwards, the position of captain of the Lingnan basketball team will be held by Naito." Shigeichi Taoka completely ignored Naito's argument and continued to announce.
Xiandao was the first to take the lead in applauding, and unlike Futian ~ off-road and others, Xiandao had no interest in the captain at all. I have too little spare time to take care of the team. And Xiandao also prefers his previous No. 7 jersey.
Fukuda auspicious ~ off-road Hiroaki ~ Uekusa Tomoyuki, the dream of the captain of these three people is shattered. But seeing that the immortal Dao didn't care, they also accepted it calmly. In the competition of the Autumn Country Sports, they also saw the role of Naito. Although he can't catch up with Yu Zhuchun, it is really a good thing to have him to support Lingnan's inner line.
