The story begins in a tavern, where two middle-aged people, not drinking but arguing, are Gao Tou, the coach of the Hainan team, and Tian Oka of the Lingnan team.

"Last year, you already led the team to participate in the Autumn Country Body, the year before last~ the year before last, it was also you, and it was my turn~ It should be my turn, right?" Shigeichi Taoka was very emotional, supporting the table with both hands, as if he wanted to go over~ and took a bite on Gao Tou's smiling face.

"Old friend~ You have been fighting with me all your life, and when you were a player, I admit that we were comparable. But as a coach, it was I who won~ I won without any suspense. This is not a matter of feng shui taking turns, with Hainan's achievements over the years, this position belongs to me, and they will definitely arrange it this way. Gao Tou fanned the fan very calmly, and said calmly while being proud, but Tian Oka could hear that this was showing off and stimulating himself.

"Alright then, we'll see!" The record is the biggest pain in Tiangang's heart, when it comes to coaching results, he can't even compare with Xiangyang's player and coach Fujima, and he has led the team to the national competition, what about himself......... Thinking of this, Tian Oka began to talk about those three people in his heart with resentment, Mitsui ~ Miyagi ~ Rukawa Kaede, you bastard boys, sooner or later you will know that it is the biggest mistake in your life that you didn't choose Lingnan.

The two of them are arguing about the coach of the Autumn Country Sports ~ Kanagawa team, as one of the three major competitions in the island country high school basketball world, the status of the Autumn Country Sports is the lowest. For what? Because after the end of the summer national competition, a large number of third-year students withdrew, and the excitement of the autumn national sports has dropped significantly. In the past~ it was more of a role to run in the team ~ to complete the replacement of the old and the new, and prepare for the winter trials and next year's summer competition. If the summer national competition is the main meal, then the autumn national sports and winter selection can only be a snack after the meal ~ before the meal.

And such an event, why would Gao Tou and Tian Oka value and argue so much? As coaches across the country thought, it was the abdication of the mountain king, the overlord, and it was a good opportunity. Winning this first place, in addition to honing the team, can also establish a slight psychological advantage and lay the foundation for yourself to compete for the throne. A few years ago, the indispensability of the king of the mountains ~ was high, so that many regions were coached and brought their own teams to play soy sauce. Kanagawa is no exception, and last year it was Gao Tou who took the Hainan team to participate alone.

Unlike the ambitions of the high head, the starting point of Taoka is much lower. The failure in the summer drafts made him take a hard look at his team. Except for the team leader ~ the talented player Xiandao, the innate aura of self-sacrifice, everyone else is too lacking in the experience of the big game ~ experience. Yuzhuchun's influence is particularly great, which is also the main reason why Lingnan regrets being out.

Next year will be the last year of the Immortal Dao, such a talented player, if he is buried under his own hands. Even if the two of them can forgive themselves, Taoka will definitely not be able to forgive himself, and will even quit basketball forever. One of those two is naturally an immortal, and the other is an old friend of his, and he always has to visit him every summer, and this year is naturally no exception.

Before leaving for Tokyo, Shigeichi Taoka paid a visit to Coach Anzai. Maybe in terms of results, Taoka is not as good as other coaches. But in terms of effort, he is the strictest ~ most diligent one. Tokyo has its own old friends, and it is also a place to discover the genius of Sendo on its own. Since getting the core of the team of Xiandao, Tianoka has never stopped in the past two years, recruiting helpers for Xiandao.

At Coach Anthy's house, the two sat across from each other. Unlike Anzai's indifference and calmness, Shigeichi Taoka's appeared a little cramped and nervous.

"Anzai-senpai, in addition to visiting you during this visit, I have one more thing to ask you for......" Shigeichi Taoka didn't come to drink tea, pressed his hands on his legs, and said sincerely with a slight bow.

"Oh!" Coach Anzai sipped his tea and responded, while his eyes looked at Taoka opposite, signaling that he was listening.

"It's about the appointment of the Kanagawa team overseer of the autumn country body this time." Coach Anzai's status in the basketball world is also quite prestigious even in the whole of Japan, which is why Shigeichi Taoka found Anzai. As long as there is the recommendation of Coach Anthy, he will definitely be able to take the position. But what is it? Go through the back door~ make small moves, anyone will be ashamed of Taoka's behavior, Tianoka naturally understands this, so he blushed after speaking~ It's embarrassing.

"Oh, I've been appointed, but for personal reasons, I'm not going to fulfill it." Anzai smiled at Taoka, lightening the mood a bit.

"Then ~ please recommend me to Anzai-senpai." No matter how peers ~ the outside world, or even the Anzai seniors in front of them, see themselves. Taoka left it behind and cheekily said his request. This is not for himself, but for the sake of the children, who are doing sweaty devil training under their own teaching, and they deserve to be duly rewarded.

Anzai didn't speak, but looked at Shigeichi Taoka. Taoka blushed, raised his head and looked at Anzai-senpai with a determined look. "Please." Anthy nodded, "Since you're so determined~~~~~ I'll mention it to them." "In Anzai's heart, it is naturally the idea of knowing the Tao Taoka. But from the perspective of personal friendship, he didn't want Tian Oka to use such a method, but from Tian Oka's eyes, Anzai saw a kind of righteousness.

Leaving Coach Anzai's home, Taoka rushed to Tokyo without stopping. In addition to visiting old friends, he has a cheeky thing to do here. I don't know if it's Shigeichi Tao's motto if he doesn't abandon or give up, anyway, he's now showing his old face.

"I thought you weren't going to be here this year." An old friend of Taoka, who is a basketball coach at a junior high school in Tokyo and the coach of Sendo Junior High School, was embarrassed to see Taoka's first words.

"No matter how busy you are, I still have to come to see you." Tian Oka laughed with him, and he was still mentally prepared for the ridicule of his old friend.

"Today's children, it's not like before, I'm afraid you've come in vain again." Sitting down separately from Taoka, the old friend said with emotion.

"You have to give it a try, and if you don't try, you won't have a chance at all." Tian Oka came here, naturally to recruit troops for Lingnan, this year's graduates are the younger brothers of the immortal Dao juniors, and there is a big man he has long fancied, which is the fresh blood that the team continues to replenish.

"Actually~ I've been regretting it for the past two years, and the ......... that let you take the fairy road away" As an old friend, the two of them don't need any cover up when they talk.

"This year, we almost entered the national competition, and we were really just a little bit behind......... "At the beginning, I and my old friend could be said to have abducted Xiandao together. The reason why it is said to be a lie is because Taoka promised that as long as Sendo joined, Lingnan would definitely be able to enter the national competition. Unexpectedly, not only Mitsui rejected him, but Miyagi, who was at the same level as Xiandao, and Rukawa Kaede, who was one level lower than Xiandao, did not recruit any of them.......... which directly disrupted Taoka's plan and made his promise become empty words.
