In the basketball hall of Xiangbei Public High School.

Although the sky has darkened and the students have left school early, the basketball stadium in Xiangbei is brightly lit, and the voices from time to time tell passers-by that there are still people training here.

"Akagi, get stuck under the basket, if you don't have a chance, you must pass the basketball in your hand to me immediately!" Mitsui Shou said loudly to Akagi Goken.

With a snap, Akagi Gangken, who was much more mature than when he first joined the company, grabbed the rebound on his teammate's head again.

"Hah!"

"Bang!"

With a roar from Akagi Goken, the basketball was slammed into the hoop.

"Good shot!"

"Akagi did a beautiful job!"

Teammates congratulated Akagi on his wonderful dunk, and Akagi Goxian, who landed, glanced at Mitsui Shou, who was a little depressed, and added a little confidence in his heart.

Although I don't know why Mitsui Shou returned to the team after recovery, he offered to be on the same team with him during training. But since even Coach Anzai agreed with a smile, the young Akagi Gangken could only silently be in the first team and continue to work hard with Mitsui Shou as his biggest competitor.

Damn, unlike the cheers of his teammates, Mitsui Shou secretly cursed in his heart.

It's not that Mitsui is stingy, but the qualifiers for the summer trials are just two weeks away. As one of the few first-year players in Xiangbei who can play, the cooperation between Mitsui Shou and Akagi Gangxian has not improved at all.

Damn, it's about to be a game, this guy Akagi doesn't cooperate with me at all, what should I do, Mitsui Shou's heart is anxious.

After listening to Hikaru Haneda's advice in the hospital, perhaps because he was worried that something would really happen, Mitsui Shou actually endured his active temperament and slowly stayed up until his knee officially recovered before he was discharged from the hospital to practice.

Especially after knowing that Hikaru Haneda joined Shoyang High School, huge pressure has been plaguing Mitsui Shou. In the boring days of hospitalization, Mitsui Shou found through continuous analysis that he could not compare to Hikaru Haneda in the field of teammates.

The seniors in the second and third grades have no ambitions, and their strength is also vulnerable, and the only thing that can make Mitsui Shou see hope is only Akagi Goken, who has superior physical fitness.

Whether it is height, size, speed, or jumping, Akagi's performance on the basketball court is probably much better than that of Sakuragi at the same time, and most importantly, Akagi also has a love for basketball and a determination to work hard for it.

There will always be technical deficiencies, as long as you are diligent in training. The talent of the body is not something that can be practiced with practice.

Therefore, after Mitsui Shou returned to the team, he has been trying to match with Akagi. Mitsui Shou, who changed his style and planned to concentrate on being a shooter, believed that as long as he relied on his own shooting, as long as Akagi could limit the opponent's layup under the basket, and then obediently help him grab the rebound. Even if the opponent is Shoyang, who is joined by Hikaru Haneda, he is not invincible.

But it often backfires, during the days when Mitsui Shou was hospitalized. Akagi has become the new star of the Xiangbei basketball team, and with the practice day by day, Akagi is slowly making up for his shortcomings.

Because many techniques are beginners, technical deficiencies can be corrected quite quickly. In Mitsui's absence, Akagi often needs to face the pressure of his seniors alone. Moreover, because the strength of the second- and third-year players in Xiangbei is not strong, it is just enough for Akagi to practice, so Akagi's growth is also very rapid.

The final result is that when Mitsui Shou returned to the team, Akagi Gangxian had already relied on abusing vegetables in the team and filled up the "skill" of "primary self-confidence".

Akagi Gangxian, who can act arbitrarily under the Xiangbei basket, already has the confidence to let his teammates pass the ball, and he can indeed rely on his height to score the ball. In this case, Mitsui let Akagi pass the ball again, and Akagi, who thought that his strength was not much worse than Mitsui, was actually a little reluctant in his heart.

Because of Mitsui Shou's soft shooting touch, he forced Akagi too much to grab the rebound and pass it to himself. And Akagi Gangxian's strong dominance under the Xiangbei basket allows Akagi to solve it by himself after getting the rebound, and there is no need to pass it out at all. The cooperation between the two is naturally difficult to form.

Akagi and Mitsui, one inside and one outside, are strong on the surface, which also makes other players in Xiangbei excited. Only the experienced Mitsui Shou knows that once he encounters a real strong team, two people who have no tacit understanding, this false strength will easily be broken by the opponent one by one.

The group of lazy guys in the second and third grades left the training hall early, and although the first-year classmates intended to train with them until late with their enthusiasm, they couldn't put pressure on Akagi, what should they do?

Mitsui Shou is in his eyes and anxious in his heart.

What to do against a really strong team? Mitsui's fears soon became a reality.

Following.

"Huh! What's going on! Mitsui Shou is actually late today? Do you know what's going on? The captain of the Xiangbei basketball team, Yamaguchimura asked during the roll call.

Everyone in the first grade of Xiangbei looked left and right, and was surprised to find that Mitsui Shou, who was the most enthusiastic about training, was really not in the queue. Since the details were not known, no one answered.

"It can't be that the knee injury has recurred, I heard that you practiced late last night, isn't that so?" Yamaguchimura thought about it for a moment and asked again.

Hearing this, Akagi Tsuyoshi hurriedly replied, "Captain, we've only been practicing for an hour. ”

"An hour? I heard that the lights in the basketball arena came on late last night, so it couldn't be that you forgot to turn off the lights when you left! Alas, forget it, since Mitsui Shou is still here, then don't worry about him. You first-year freshmen go out and run two laps around the school to warm up, Akagi, you lead the team. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After the first-year students went out for a run, Yamaguchimura was the only one left in the empty basketball hall.

After a while, the remaining members of the second and third years arrived in a beautiful way. When they arrived, they didn't warm up, changed their clothes, each picked up a basketball from the iron frame where the basketball was placed, and began to play on their own.

"Your basketball hall in Xiangbei is really good, it is worthy of being a public school, and it covers a large area."

"Huh? Is your school's pitch small? Otherwise, you should transfer to Xiangbei. ”

"Alas, don't mention it, it's only two courts, and it's so close to death, how can it compare to the basketball hall of your three courts."

I don't know when, on the stands on the second floor of the Xiangbei Basketball Stadium, five people appeared, and it was Mitsui Shou and Xiangyang's Haneda Hikaru four.

"But you came at the right time."

"What? Didn't you say that the county contest beat me? Now you're going to fight? There were only four of us. ”

"Enough!"
