Chapter 4 The Old Man and the Newcomer in Xiangbei

I'm afraid to see the April day in the world.

When Suzuki looked up from his desk, stretched his waist and turned his head around to look around to relax his muscles, this poem suddenly popped into his mind.

Poetry is such a wonderful thing.

Obviously reborn for many years, most of the things in the memory of the previous life have gradually faded away, even if some are deliberately recorded, if you don't look at the notepad, you may not be able to remember, but only poetry, always inadvertently, jump out of a sentence or two, the mood of this moment, mixed with short words, recalled.

Perhaps this is the difference between rabbits and other species.

It's not in the outward, it's in the soul.

When I came in from the outside, the sky was pretty good, some of the sun was a little windy, neither hot nor cold, it was pleasant, but I didn't think it would be long before the sky was already overcast, and a drizzle was falling.

Although there are still some papers that have not been corrected, Suzuki estimates that the recruitment of the basketball club should have been closed, so he put down the pen, cleaned up, bent down and pulled out a black folding umbrella from the foot of the table, and got up to say hello to Koike and Tsukino, who were still working.

Then he remembered something, squatted down and took something out of the drawer, put it in a sky blue striped cloth bag, and carried it before walking out of the office.

The island country is windy and rainy, there is no dust on the ground, the trail is wet by the rain, but he is not afraid of muddy water on the upper trousers, Suzuki strides with an umbrella, and walks into the basketball hall on the west side of the campus.

Last year's dismal results of the basketball team did not affect Principal Gao's trust in Suzuki, and a lot of exercise equipment was added to the basketball hall one after another, which was placed in empty places, and a few new bench folding chairs were added to the bench area on the sidelines.

The basketball club has not been very prosperous, the new students recruited last year, were scared away by strict training, and went a few because of the defeat of the county competition and the winter cup, and when Endo graduated, in a few months, there were only two or three kittens and puppies left in the basketball club.

The first grade was now the third grade. The strongest Maki took over the captain's position and still played center. After Imai graduated, Yanagisawa became the obvious choice for the small forward position. Kuroda was not in Suzuki's plans, but the team was unavailable, and he occupied the position of shooting guard, but from last year's Winter Cup and several warm-up games, it seems that Xiangbei's quarterback is no longer the sharp spear of the past.

The team's current point guard is named Yuji Endo, the younger brother of the previous captain Kenichi Nagado, and after more than a year of Endo holding hands, Endo Jr. can already be regarded as a qualified point guard.

The final power forward position was taken over by Aoki's substitute, Ishii To. As his name suggests, Ishii has worked very hard in training, and he has grown very tall, reaching 186cm, and according to this momentum, he may be able to reach 1.9 meters next year.

In addition to the five main selections, Xiangbei currently has only two substitutes. Yoto Sakai is too short and not as skilled as Kuroda, so he is the last substitute. Kawabe Asahi is tall and has grown to 1.8 meters, but he has no strength and can't play small forward, so he can only be Ishii's substitute.

There are only seven people left, and they can't even play a five-on-five game in the team, and the current basketball club looks even worse than when Suzuki first arrived.

When he pushed the door in and saw more than 20 people standing densely in the center of the basketball court, Suzuki was overjoyed, and a feeling of "Lao Tzu finally has some soldiers in his hands" spontaneously arose.

Although he deliberately slowed his pace, when Suzuki approached three meters behind him, Momoi, who was waving a pen to record the information, suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "You're here." ”

Suzuki smiled softly and said, "Yes." ”

He put the plastic bag containing the wet umbrella into the cloth bag, took out a bottle of water from it and handed it to Momoi, and then said, "Are you tired today?" His voice was a little hoarse. This is oolong tea, which moistens the throat and is better than soda. ”

Momoi's eyebrows crooked, he took the bottle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

There is no need to say thank you.

Men chase women, compartment mountains, women chase men, compartment yarn.

Momoi spent two years proving her heart and persistence, Suzuki is not like a stone, and he has long regarded her as his lifelong partner. It's just that the identities of the two of them are still hindered, and they didn't poke the layer of window paper open.

"How's the newcomers doing this year?" Suzuki asked, staring at Akagi, who stood tall like a flock.

"Very nice. There are a few who have big hearts. Momoi replied.

"Oh? Several? Suzuki was a little surprised.

"Two groups of people, to be exact." Momoi stretched out his finger and pointed, "The first group, led by this tallest Akagi Tsuyoshi, plus the Koyan Mu and Wu Dai Yuwa next to him, they all graduated from Kitamura Junior High School. ”

Suzuki smiled slightly when he heard Momoi's first introduction to Akagi, and when he heard Ki's name, he felt a little familiar, so he asked, "What position did they play?" ”

Momoi replied in a low voice: "Akagi, this must be the center." When Mu Du registered, he wrote that he played small forward when he was in junior high school, but based on his height, I suggested that he start at guard first. That Wu Dai, who claims to be a point guard, doesn't know what the level is. If you can get by, replace Kuroda. ”

Kuroda's lazy attitude in training not only made him useless to this day, but also affected the juniors in the next level. Kawabe got very close to him and learned his lazy skills in training, so he had no body and couldn't practice his skills.

Momoi, who made a training plan for the whole team, was naturally very uncomfortable when he saw someone wasting his hard work. Although she was also in the third grade, she took a leave of absence due to illness one year, and actually enrolled a year earlier than Kuroda, so she was often reprimanded mercilessly.

But Kuroda has been mixed up in the past few years and has not left his hands, Yang Fengyin has violated it badly, and Momoi can't do anything about him in the end.

Suzuki nodded, agreeing with Momoi's suggestion, but today's focus was on newcomers, so he asked, "What about the other group?" ”

Momoi pointed to another tall, strong freshman and said, "It's these two." His name is Tokuo Hotta, and the one standing to his right is Shintaro Mizuno. ”

Suzuki asked curiously, "What is the origin of these two?" ”

Speaking of these two, Momoi seemed to be in a good mood, turned to Suzuki and smiled, "We picked up a treasure this year." These two were born in Takeshi Middle School, and they were both main players when they won the championship in the prefecture last year. Hotta plays power forward, and Mizuno can play point guard. ”

Suzuki secretly said ashamed, the last time he went to watch the game, Hikaru focused on Mitsui Shou and didn't pay attention to his teammates around him.

Although Takeshi Middle School is Mitsui's one-man team, if the strength of the rest of the players is too poor, it is impossible for Takeshi to reach the finals by Mitsui alone.

The middle school competition is also a game a day, and the remaining few people in Wushi are at least some basketball foundations, and for Xiangbei, newcomers who don't need to start from the most basic teaching are already excellent talents.

Such a talent actually threw himself into the Xiangbei account, and Suzuki felt that the unpredictable weather was not so annoying for a while.

"Very good, very good," Suzuki praised, "There are so many nice newcomers this year, we have hit the jackpot." ”
