Chapter 15: Rhythm
Not long ago, the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school.
On that day, Hikoichi had just moved to Kanagawa Prefecture with his parents, who had changed jobs.
There is also the reason for her sister Yayoi Aida, who found a job in Kanagawa after graduation.
According to the original book, Hikoichi joined the Lingnan team, and a large part of this is actually due to the fact that the address where he lived after moving to Kanagawa was very close to Lingnan High School.
It wasn't until the evening that Hikochi got out of the hustle and bustle of moving. After dinner, Hikoichi and his sister Yayoi Aida went out for a walk together.
The sister and brother chatted as they walked, and they talked about basketball as they spoke.
"You know what? The basketball team of Lingnan High School is one of the strongest in Kanagawa, and has performed well in the prefectural tournaments in the past. Especially last year, after the team's coach Taoka personally went to Tokyo to bring back the talented player Sendo, the performance of the Lingnan team became more and more impressive. Yayoi said as her eyebrows fluttered.
It turns out that my sister began to be obsessed with immortals at this time.
"Yes, is the Immortal Dao very powerful?" Ask while knowing the answer.
"yes!! In a previous game, he single-handedly scored more than fifty points, shocking the entire Kanagawa Prefecture! "Yayoi's eyes are about to turn into love.
"Ahem!" Pay attention to the image, even if there are no people around.
Yayoi also noticed that it was not good to be like this in front of his younger brother, and now Hikoichi...
"Hikoichi, you're playing too, aren't you? In junior high school, every night after school and on weekends, I would run outside with a ball in my arms. How about it, it's a high school student after the summer vacation, do you want to join the basketball team? Yayoi pressed her wind-blown short hair back to her ears, "The level of high school basketball is not comparable to that of junior high school, and it is much more formal than on the street basketball court." “
Yayoi Aida hopes that if Hikoichi wants to play basketball, he will play with children of the same age, and that he will not always be on the street basketball court with various social people, which is easy to lose. Moreover, if you go to the Lingnan team, you can help her get in touch with the fairy road by the way!
She didn't know that Hikoichi had never suffered a loss.
As they spoke, the two of them came to a street court.
What a coincidence, there are not many basketball courts in Japan, and this land is a bit out of the way, and there is actually a basketball court.
"Look at the people who play on the street basketball court, there are all kinds of people, and you still have to pay attention to protecting yourself." The preaching continued, but now the textbook had to be added, "Look, the guy over there, just look at it... Hey, it looks familiar... Well, familiarity is not like a good person, you have to be less with this kind of person. “
Hikoichi looked in the direction of Yayoi's finger, and a man with a strange hairstyle on the court had just finished a vicious dunk.
Yes, don't blame my sister, this person really doesn't look like a good person. Hikochi smiled inwardly and looked at the man.
Wait a minute! Who is that person?! … Fukuda auspicious!! No wonder Yayoi looks familiar, he was from the Lingnan team before.
Hikoi was stunned, is it really that coincidental?!
When Yoshiyo Fukuda was expelled from the basketball team for assaulting Coach Taoka, he had no place to play, and then was taken to a street basketball court by a group of children who were playing ball, so that he could continue to experience the thrill of playing again.
Looks like that's where Fukuda Yoshiu plays, huh......
Early the next morning, Hikoyi put on basketball equipment and went out with a basketball. Straight to the stadium where I saw Fukuda's auspicious omen yesterday.
It's not entirely for Fukuda's auspicious signs, but the nearby basketball court seems to be just that.
Sure enough, there was no one in the morning, and Hiko began to conduct self-basic training. Left hand dribble, right hand dribble, cross dribble, free throws, mid-range, three-pointers...
"Bang!" This three-point hit the side edge and jumped a little far.
The basketball rolls off into the distance.
"Huh?" Hikoi looked at the ball, and it rolled to a man's feet and stopped.
When did someone come? Hikochi looked up, and he was still very tall, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the light.
Hikoichi took a step to the side, turned away from the sun, and finally saw who it was.
Fukuda Jizhao stood there with a ball between his waist.
Hikoichi didn't know how to speak, "Hello, that ball is mine." Hikoichi pointed to Fukuda's feet and said.
Fukuda Yoshizhao really didn't speak, he bent down to pick up the ball, threw it to Hikoichi, and walked towards the other half.
It's so cold.
Hikoichi didn't bother and went back to continue his unfinished training.
"Huh, huh..." Finally finished the final three-point training, Hikoichi took a breath, glanced at Fukuda Yoshizhao opposite, and was training various offensive skills, meticulously.
Or I'll do it...
"Hey, do you want to fight together?" Hikoi took the initiative to go up and say hello.
“…… Good. "It's really a treasure of words.
"How about a bullfight?"
“??“ His brows furrowed, and he was a little puzzled.
"It's heads-up, one-on-one." Hiko's easy explanation.
“…… Good. “
……
--------------------
"A striker?" Coach Taoka broke the silence he had created.
"Yes, regardless of his strength, this can increase the height of the inner line, and at the same time, it can also liberate the immortal path from the inner line!"
Liberate the immortal path from the inner line? Speaking of which...... That's right! This is the way, the way the Lingnan team can fight against the Hainan team! …… No, no, wait, now that Hikochi has joined, is this method still necessary?
Coach Taoka closed his eyes again, weighing something.
Coach, you're not going to sit here and fall asleep, are you?
"Is there anything else you want to say?" said Taoka suddenly, still with his eyes closed.
"Huh?? Ah, there's nothing more coaching. Hikochi was just wandering and was taken aback, "Well, actually... Coach, I've just arrived, and I haven't fully integrated myself with the team, let alone fully understood the team, so I'm just casually saying that I have to run in with the team alone is enough for me to be busy. “
Coach Taoka still has his eyes closed.
Looks like we need to add more fire.
"These are just my superficial thoughts, I think that since the goal of the Lingnan team is very high, then we must see ourselves as soon as possible, and we must take advantage of the shortcomings to find out, after all, after adjustment, it is not a day or two to re-run out of a team, and it is always good to plan early."
Silent.
… It seems that it's still early today, forget it, don't force it, next time.
"Since it's okay, then I'll leave first, coach." Hikochi stood up and bowed.
“…… In fact... The basketball team was supposed to have one more person. Coach Taoka suddenly spoke, his tone unhurried.
Well?! There's a play!
"Huh? Originally? "Hikoichi seems to be very good at asking knowingly.
Coach Taoka opened his eyes.
"Yes, and the Immortal Dao. Afterward... Later, for some reasons, he left the basketball team. Coach Taoka said it very tactfully.
"Why did you mention this all of a sudden, what position does he play?" Knowingly ask ×2.
"Front." Coach Taoka's idea has never been so strong.
"Is he powerful?" Knowingly ask ×3.
"It's pretty good." Coach Taoka's tone was a little uncertain. It's hard to say, but it's definitely at least potential!
"Will he come back, then? This year, how to add an excellent striker, that ...... "knowingly ask× 4+ follow the temptation.
“… Possibly! "Coach Taoka's idea went from strong to firm.
Tomorrow, I'll go to him, Fukuda auspicious! For his future, for myself, and for the Lingnan team!
