Suzuki stopped, his expression turned solemn, and asked, "Did he ask you to ask about this, or did you want to ask yourself?" ”

Taiga replied, "I wanted to ask myself." But I can see that Abe seems to have some ideas. He said privately that if he couldn't play, he might as well give up basketball. ”

Suzuki frowned and said sternly, "You actually said such a thing!" He ......"

After saying "him", Suzuki was speechless, and after a while, Yuyu sighed: "If he wants to quit the team, let him quit." However, you have to explain it to the rest of the team and don't let their form suffer. ”

Dahe said with some reluctance: "Are we going to let him give up on himself like this?" He's been training very hard before. ”

Suzuki looked into Taiga's eyes and said seriously, "It is precisely because of this that I said that if he wants to quit the team, he will do whatever he wants." ”

Puzzled, Dahe asked, "Why?" ”

Suzuki replied, "Oga-san, don't you think so in your heart?" Abe-san, he doesn't actually have a talent for basketball. ”

Dahe's eyes darkened, and he said dejectedly: "Yes, that's the case." ”

Suzuki said, "There's no denying that basketball is the one that requires the most individual talent out of the three. Height, speed, Abe is lacking in either aspect. His athleticism, if anything, is endurance. But, you know, basketball can be changed endlessly! Endurance is not optional, but it is certainly not a decisive factor in playing. In terms of strength, he is stronger than the current Yanagisawa and Kuroda, but not much stronger. He only had one year, and the two of them, Yanagisawa, had two more years left. So I'd rather let Yanagisawa and Kuroda play more games and gain more experience than give him a chance. Do you understand? ”

Dahe just wanted to answer, but a person beside him said, "I understand, thank you very much for your confession to me." ”

Taiga turned around and saw that it was Takeshi Abe himself! He heard the conversation just now!

Suzuki sighed and said to Abe, "You're a good boy, but you're really not good for basketball." ”

Abe bent down 90 degrees to bow to Suzuki, turned and ran. Under the light, something shiny fell to the ground.

The next afternoon's training, Abe did not show up. Some people noticed it and didn't ask much. The team members are still students, and it is normal for them to miss one or two club activities because of their studies.

The same is true of the Dawn of the Water. During the intra-team game, Yanagisawa took his place.

Some people in the team began to get together and whisper.

Mu Yaori, no one is talking about it anymore, but many people don't seem to be in good spirits.

On the afternoon of Friday, Suzuki was late for the test papers, so he went to the basketball hall.

Walking on the path next to the carport, Suzuki recalled in his mind what he had done before to turn down Koike's invitation. He hadn't gone out for a drink with Koike for a long time because he was busy with the basketball club, and there were a few new teachers coming in to the school, and he hadn't attended a party yet.

It seems that there has been less communication lately, and when it comes to the summer vacation, I have to find a way to make up for it.

Thinking so in his heart, Suzuki saw a dark shadow in the carport out of the corner of his eye, and asked casually, "Who is there?" ”

The black shadow walked out, judging from the uniform, it was a small student of the school, and the slanting sun hit him in the face, so that Suzuki could see his appearance clearly, and said, "Abe-san, it's you." ”

Abe's expression was a little tangled, but he still mustered up the courage and said, "Mr. Suzuki, I want to go back to the basketball team." I've found that I can't live without basketball anymore! ”

Suzuki suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, looked up at the remnants of the sky in the sky, and then bowed his head and said to Abe: "Abe-san, you must know that you may be on the bench for another year, and there will not be a minute of appearance!" ”

Abe left two lines of tears and said in a choked voice, "I know. However, even if I can't play, I hope to be on the sidelines, cheering everyone on, handing out towels and water to everyone. Being able to watch everyone play on the sidelines, and see everyone bring victory to Xiangbei, I am satisfied. ”

Suzuki took a long breath, and suddenly felt that if the child in front of him maintained his current determination and perseverance, maybe there would be a miracle, and he would really become the combat force of Xiangbei in the third grade.

Take it in, or reject it. Suzuki was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't want to delay this child for a year.

Until he walked past Abe, Suzuki hadn't made up his mind.

There was a plop, and there was a sound behind him, and Abe pleaded, "Mr. Suzuki, please let me go back to the basketball club!" ”

Suzuki's heart was shocked, he didn't expect him to be able to do this, stopped, looked back at Abe who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a long time.

Abe looked at Suzuki, seeing that he didn't mean to say yes in the slightest, and his eyes became more and more desperate.

Suzuki looked expressionless, turned his head sharply, and continued on his way. After taking a step, he said, "Abe Takeshi." ”

Abe looked up and replied, "Yes!" ”

Suzuki said as he walked, "I don't remember ever receiving a withdrawal application. ”

Abe was stunned for a moment, then got up from the ground in ecstasy, and followed Suzuki in the same way.

Suzuki continued: "In these two days, you have to make up for the missed training! ”

"Hey!"

"As a punishment, you can't watch the video of tomorrow's basketball game."

“…… Be. ”

"Bring your notebook and watch the Tamba Bridge and Yoshimoto match. If there are players to pay attention to, write down the back number, position and ability. ”

"Hey!"

"Also, practice the three-point shot!"

"Huh? Hi! ”

When he walked to the door of the basketball hall, Abe's pace slowed down, and he didn't know how to face his teammates in Xiangbei.

Suzuki said to him, "Go and apologize to everyone and ask for your forgiveness." ”

Abe stubbornly came to Taiga and the others, who were doing frog jumping training, bowed to the end, and said loudly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry for everyone! ”

Everyone stopped training and straightened up to look at Abe.

Yoshino was very disgusted with the person who gave up halfway, and then snorted coldly and said, "It's not a problem. He turned his head away, but the corners of his mouth arced.

Miyagawa smiled honestly and said, "It's good to come back." ”

Lantau and Imai nodded at him and didn't speak.

Endo and Mizuhashi smiled, "Welcome back." ”

The first-year student didn't have his turn to speak, and like Momoi, he just smiled at Abe.

Only Aoki couldn't figure out what was going on, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Abe, you're late today! Where did it go? ”

Dahe shouted: "What nonsense, there are still two days to compete, hurry up and train!" Abe, hurry up and change your clothes, too! ”

Suzuki took everyone's performance in his eyes and smiled with satisfaction, a united team is a team with combat effectiveness.
