The final candidate
"I don't know what you think, coach?"
Hiroshi Kobayashi, who was stuck in a difficult choice, could only return the ball to Kenji Mizuno after proposing the eight candidates he had in mind.
This kind of problem of offending people, let's leave it to the coach, I haven't even reached the age of eighteen, and I can't even buy alcohol! Kobayashi Hiroshi complained in his heart.
Kenji Mizuno was a little helpless, this kid didn't understand his thoughts at all. As far as the current competition in high school is concerned, with the eight players proposed by Hiroshi Kobayashi, it is actually enough. The additional few people are just used to replace them with practice skills after beating the weaker opponents.
At this time, it is necessary to give places to those members who have some qualifications in the team and usually train hard, so as to be role models for the whole team and form a good training atmosphere.
These people were selected by Kenji Mizuno, who was the coach, so naturally there was no problem, but with the help of Hiroshi Kobayashi, the captain, these players would undoubtedly be more grateful to Hiroshi Kobayashi.
"Well, the eight of you, not bad, so be it. Gather them later, and I'll announce them all. Seeing that Kobayashi Hiroshi didn't understand what he meant, Kenji Mizuno could only say helplessly.
"Okay! Coach, then I'll go. "There was an experience that Hiroshi Kobayashi didn't turn around until Kenji Mizuno nodded his head this time.
"Whoa—"
The shrill whistle drowned out the screeching sound of the soles of the shoes scraping against the floor, attracting the attention of everyone in the stadium.
"All assembled!"
There was another shrill grinding sound, and more than fifty members in the arena quickly gathered together and lined up.
Kenji Mizuno walked to the middle of the team, looked at the young players, and said, "Wait two weeks, and the summer league qualifiers will start." Until then, I'm going to pick 12 players to play based on how you usually do in the team. Now, the one whose name I read comes, come to the front. ”
Jerseys and sportswear are issued to everyone after entering the team, but there are only 12 jerseys that can actually be played.
As soon as Kenji Mizuno finished speaking, the people in the team discussed it like a frying pan. Everyone's voice was not loud, but the voices of more than fifty people gathered together and erupted at the same time, and the noise formed was still very loud.
"Are you sure you're going to choose?"
"Don't talk about me, what about you, I feel like you've been practicing hard this year!"
"I think Haneda and Fujima, who are in the first grade, may also be selected by the coach."
"I must not have my share, I envy them"
"Who told you not to train hard"
"This is fate!"
Kenji Mizuno stretched his hands forward, pressed his palms down, and said in his mouth: "Everyone is quiet, the students who have the opportunity to play are a recognition of their efforts and strength." Don't be discouraged if you don't get selected, at least you have a new goal to strive for, basketball, nothing is impossible. ”
"Now I'll start the roll call, Hiroshi Kobayashi," Kenji Mizuno's words successfully calmed the restless mood of the audience.
"Here!"
As the captain of the basketball team, Hiroshi Kobayashi was the first to be pointed out unsurprisingly.
"Yutaka Seto"
"Here!"
“……”
“……”
Hikaru Haneda and Kenji Fujima were naturally not surprised to be pointed, although Hanagata Toru and Hasegawa Kazushi were strong enough, but both of them were not named by Kenji Mizuno in the end due to overlapping positions and seniority problems.
After training.
After a month of training together, the first-year members, who had a much better relationship, chatted in groups and walked home after cleaning the stadium.
"It's a pity that the summer league can't fight side by side with you." Although Hasegawa Kazushi was mentally prepared in advance, he was still a little disappointed when he was really not selected.
Hikaru Haneda was silent, not knowing how to speak. Although in Hikaru Haneda's opinion, the strength of his friend is not weaker than that of Nishimura Hiroki in the second grade, but Kenji Mizuno's arrangement, Hikaru Haneda still understands.
With the precedent of himself and Fuji Zhen being able to play in the first grade, they have already been able to increase the enthusiasm of the first-year members, and naturally there is no need to add first-year newcomers to the already tight quota.
Besides, Hasegawa and Hanagata still have a year to wait, and many players in the second year are left only this year. Once they reach the third year, even the main team of players in the second year, I am afraid that a large number of them will choose to quit and concentrate on their studies.
For many ordinary players, being able to play in the second year, even if it is just a substitute, is already the happiest thing since joining the club.
From an adult's point of view, although you can't bring out the best in the team, you can win the most benefits. For high school basketball, Kenji Mizuno's arrangement is already a very reasonable distribution.
But before Haneda Hikaru could speak, Hanagata Toru on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Hey! I said what are you feeling sad? The most depressed person is me, well, if it weren't for the fact that there were already two centers in the team, Hirokawa-senpai and Seto-senpai, with my strength, I would definitely be elected. Alas, you said it would have been nice if Haneda had injured Seto-senpai in the first place. ”
Haneda Hikaru hurriedly defended: "I'll rub it, don't you have itchy skin in the shape of flowers, I've told you many times!" It was an accident! Do you understand the accident! You're so much of a threat to my reputation! ”
"Cut!" Another eyewitness who knew what had happened, Kenji Fujima gave a disdainful tone.
"Ah, I see, it must be Fujima, you guy, smearing me behind my back!" Hikaru Haneda strangled Kenji Fujima with one arm, and the other hand was about to mess with Fujima's hair.
At this moment, Fujima bent his right foot and kicked back.
"Oh!"
Hikaru Haneda screamed miserably, and quickly let go of Fujima, while her legs were tightly clamped together.
"Haneda! Are you okay! ”
"Ah Guang! What do you think?! ”
Looking at Hikaru Haneda's appearance, Kenji Fujima and Kazushi Hasegawa didn't care about joking, and surrounded Hikaru Haneda and asked with concern.
"Hahaha~~ Silly! I'm fine! ”
As soon as Kenji Fujima turned around, his head was held down by Haneda Hikaru with both hands, and Hanagata Toru and Hasegawa Kazushi were stirred up against Fujima's hair who lowered his head.
The reason for the prank! It's simple.
In order to facilitate training, Hikaru Haneda and the other three cut their hair into short pieces, similar to Mitsui's hairstyle in the original book. And Kenji Fujima, who has a good male hairstyle, has naturally become an alternative one of the foursome, coupled with Fujima's cute and cold face.
The three of Haneda, who are jealous, will always try to disturb Fujima's hairstyle before they leave the school gate.
"Oh, yes!" After the four people who were playing slowly walked out of the school gate, Hikaru Haneda said suddenly.
"What's wrong? You can't forget something! We're not waiting for you! ”
"No, looking at Fujima's hairstyle, I suddenly remembered someone."
"Who?"
"Who is it?"
Not only Fujima, but the other two were also curious.
Haneda Hikaru thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you take a leave of absence tomorrow to take a look?" What a great guy! ”
But I don't know if I can see it, I hope I can hear my words, Haneda Hikaru muttered silently in his heart.
