Chapter 113: Sakuragi's Situation
After the awards, the Hiratsuka Gymnasium began to end. After all, this is only one of the two arenas, and the secondary one, the stage that really builds for the championship, is far away in Yokohama.
I don't know when the play-offs will start, and there will be no games for the time being, so Suzuki is not in a hurry to arrange training, leaving the afternoon for everyone to celebrate, but just instructing Momoi to make the statistics of the three games and prepare for a routine summary during training tomorrow afternoon.
Suzuki himself rushed back to school to deal with some of the things he had put off in the past two weeks, knowing that classroom teachers were his job.
And Sakuragi Hanamichi, who came to watch the battle together, Suzuki left him to Taiga to take care of them.
After these days of training, Sakuragi, the kid, has gotten along very well with everyone in Xiangbei and got along.
The Taiga couple admired Sakuragi's talent and hard work, and were optimistic about his future, and sometimes joked about Maki and Yanagisawa, the first-graders, and urged them to stay two levels and wait for Sakuragi to go to school and hug their thighs.
These jokes have also reached Suzuki's ears, but after he laughed, he was worried about the enrollment of newcomers in Xiangbei two years later.
In the original world line, Akagi Tsuyoshi and Mitsui Shou among the Five Tigers of Xiangbei are all new students this year.
For Mitsui Shou, Suzuki has not considered it anymore.
He Suzuki is not a former national player, no matter how good his results are in leading the team, for the graduates of junior high school, he is just an ordinary college teacher, and even Tiangang in Lingnan may not be compared.
Besides, Xiangyang now has Okazaki, Miura, and Honglin, and even if the grades decline in the next two years because of Ziyuan's graduation, they can still be regarded as giants in the county, and their status is difficult to shake.
With Mr. Anzai here, Mitsui will never come to Xiangbei.
The other two star players of the same year, Makishiichi and Fujima Kenichi, were not local players in Kanagawa, and Suzuki thought that he did not have the connections and ability to turn these two back to Xiangbei from other prefectures.
In this way, only Akagi can easily start.
There are only two colleges and universities near Xiangbei, Odache and Wuyuan, and it is not a problem to get him to Xiangbei according to the original fate with Akagi's feelings for basketball.
In addition, Uzumi is also an object to consider, and he and Akagi may not be incompatible.
Akagi's athleticism is considered good among long-term people, and if he develops a mid-range shot, he can also be suitable for playing power forward.
Comparatively speaking, the ability to fish and live in high school is worse, and it takes more time and energy to invest, even if you play center, I am afraid that it will be at least until the second year to form combat power.
Suzuki pondered for a while that day, and finally came back to his senses, it was a long time before Akagi Yu lived or something, so it was better to train Sakuragi this kid first.
It has been more than half a month since his father's death, and Sakuragi Hanamichi has suppressed Qi Rong and returned to the carefree life that a child of this age should have, which seems to be quite heartless.
However, Suzuki knew that he was just pretending to be like this on the surface, not worrying himself and Horie, and he cried a few times behind his back. A few mornings, after Sakuragi went to school, Suzuki found his pillows wet when he was tidying up his room.
Suzuki didn't tell him about it, nor did he tell Akiko Horie about it, but he often instructed Sakuragi to find something to do, so that he could gradually fade his sadness in his busyness.
Suzuki is a big foodie, and even the food with Sakuragi is rarely casual, and every meal is nutritionally balanced or not, at least in terms of quantity, it is definitely enough.
Adequate nutrition allows Sakuragi's body to thrive. When he measured his height recently, he was actually 169cm, almost catching up with Kuroda, who was five years older than him.
According to this trend, by the time Sakuragi enters the first year of high school, it should not be a problem to exceed 1.9 meters.
After two weeks of intensive competition, Suzuki pulled down a lot of chores, and he was busy for half a day before he rushed back to his residence and manipulated dinner before dark.
Sakuragi had already returned at this time, and Suzuki asked him where he had gone at noon and afternoon, only to learn that the players of the two teams of Xiangbei and Lingnan did not go home immediately, but stayed in Hiratsuka City for dinner and celebration, and they all found the same store.
Imyoshi became interested in the extra little tail and played Sakuragi hard. The difference in IQ between the two is too great, and Sakuragi still separated for a long time before he figured out how he was tricked.
Sakuragi didn't tell Akira Suzuki about his troubles, but judging from his later performance, it was clear that he was quite jealous of things like "foxes".
Suzuki didn't have a class the next morning, but he still went to school early in the morning and went to the principal's office to thank him.
Gao Chang heard his intentions, and then said to Suzuki, "You don't have to thank me for this matter. If it weren't for your first win against Hainan, there would be such a result, and I wouldn't be able to persuade them to put this quota on the head of Xiangbei. ”
The two discussed many matters such as the preferential treatment of the team's official players, the organization of possible play-offs in other counties, and the arrangements for leading the team to Tokyo to participate in the national competition.
Before leaving, Takanaga said to Suzuki: "Minami Tara is a very caring person, you can have a good relationship with him." Maybe by this time next year, he will be the chairman of the county high sports company. ”
Only then did Suzuki know the full name of the official who greeted him yesterday, and asked a little more, knowing that the current chairman was about to be promoted because of his outstanding basketball performance in Kanagawa, and Minami Tara was the most powerful candidate for succession, so he made up his mind that he must make a phone call with Nan Tara this week to contact his feelings.
After coming out of the principal's office and returning to his math group office, the skinny Koike-sensei and another familiar teacher, Kennoto Tsukino, came forward to congratulate him.
Obviously, the news that the basketball club of Xiangbei High School has achieved good results in the county competition has spread.
Serving as the instructor of the club, although it is a very tiring job, but once the results are made, it can be regarded as a good performance, and when it comes to promotion, there is a lot of reference weight. Moreover, the club has become famous, and Suzuki, as the overseer, can also receive a bonus from the school, which is not much, but it is a lot of extra money.
Suzuki is single, and he has always spent lavishly, so he immediately invited his colleagues out to dinner. It's just that after school, I have to continue to be busy with club affairs, and I have to put it until noon.
Most of the people understood Suzuki's statement, and many people said that they couldn't come, but in the end, in addition to Koike and Tsukino, there were five more, and they could be regarded as a round table.
Suzuki had a class in the afternoon, and it was inconvenient to drink, so he asked for orange juice and saluted everyone.
Everyone congratulated Suzuki again for a few words, and then a few of the people who drank and a few who didn't drink together, chatting in twos and threes.
Tsukino said he received an offer from a newspaper in Tokyo and was considering whether to change jobs to become a journalist.
Although Suzuki is familiar with him, he is not convenient to point fingers at things about the future, so he just tells him to think twice.
The lunch break was not long, and this meal actually didn't last long. Therefore, two people had classes in the afternoon and drank alcohol, and Suzuki did not say anything to stop them.
The Japanese workplace, like the officialdom of the rabbit family, is all about alcohol.
The degree of sake is not too high, and if you drink a little, you won't get drunk.
