"Then we'll take our leave today."

With the sun setting in the west, after a day of training, Mitsui Shou and others also politely said goodbye to everyone in Xiangyang and left after a wash.

The afterglow of the setting sun was draped on the backs of Mitsui Shou and his party, and from behind, the three of them seemed to be wearing a golden cloak, and under this beautiful scenery, a slight cool breeze in the evening carried the 'blessing' of Hikaru Haneda.

"Be careful on the road, and don't come too early tomorrow!"

It wasn't until the backs of the three disappeared around the corner that Hikaru Haneda turned and walked towards the arena with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"You guy! Giving away someone for so long. Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you, 10 half-time switchback runs, and then finish today's training, don't be lazy, I'll time you alone. ”

"Huh? Why am I the only one running alone? What about them? ”

"By the time you go out to lazy, they're already out of business. By the way, don't say I didn't remind you, but when you went out, Fujima pushed the standard time forward by two seconds. ”

“……”

The so-called standard time is not the time specified in the textbook. Instead, on the basis of the fastest Fuji Zhen time in the Xiangyang team, a certain amount of time is deleted for players in different positions, as the qualified time for the switchback run.

Therefore, every improvement of Fujima is not a good thing for others, especially those who are also in the guard position with Fujima, it is simply a nightmare that does not know when it will be done, because no one knows when Fujima will be stuck in a bottleneck and stop improving.

On the other side, Mitsui and the others walked on the way home, speechless all the way.

Akagi didn't know if it was his own delusion, but he always felt that Mitsui Shou, who was walking in front with his head down, seemed to have something on his mind. The reason is very simple, if it was in the past, Mitsui Shou would have started to complain about Haneda Hikatsu's training during the day. But today, Mitsui didn't even react to Haneda's 'greetings' before he came to leave.

Even the rough-witted Akagi can detect it, not to mention the already careful Twilight Ki. Brother Glasses found out very early that Mitsui Shou had not been in a good state since he took a break in the afternoon.

But this change in state, in Mu Dui's opinion, doesn't seem to be getting low or getting bad, Mitsui Shou's external performance is actually - excited? It gives an indescribable sense of contradiction.

"Mitsui!"

"Akagi!"

"Hehehe..."

As they walked, Mitsui Shou and Akagi suddenly spoke at the same time, and they both called each other by name. Both were stunned, followed by the same laughter.

In the end, Mitsui, who still had a concern on his mind, asked first: "Akagi, I heard Haneda Hikaru say in the afternoon, you saved a junior high school student named Sakuragi at the end of last month?" ”

Akagi, who had just stopped smiling, was stunned again when he heard this, he didn't expect Mitsui Shou's question to be related to last month, and it was about a junior high school student who didn't seem to have a relationship with the three of them.

Although he wondered why Mitsui asked about Sakuragi, Akagi still roughly recalled it before he spoke: "That's right, I remember that day, it was the afternoon of the first time Hikaru Haneda asked us to come over for training. ”

Hearing this, Mitsui Shouya hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's the day you said, I remember that afternoon it was, it was the match between Shoyang and Tsukutake, but Hikaru Haneda never appeared in the court." Tell me what happened to you that afternoon. ”

Akagi disturbed his head, feeling a little puzzled by Mitsui's eagerness, and while carefully recalling, he explained in his mouth: "It's nothing, after eating at noon that day and parting with you, I will walk back to school first." But during the warm-up, I happened to meet a few delinquent teenagers who were besieging a middle school student..."

"So you met Hasegawa on the way to take Sakuragi father and son to the hospital, and then left after Hikaru Haneda sent the money to the hospital? Akagi, you never saw the kid you saved again? ”

"Ahh Ah, yes, the next few days were busy training, and I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't care. What's wrong, you ask? No! It can't be that the kid named Sakuragi still has something wrong in the end, right? ”

"No, no."

Akagi was relieved when he heard Mitsui Shou finish speaking. However, Akagi also keenly felt that Mitsui's mood seemed to become depressed after listening to his narration.

"By the way, Akagi, can you still find the home called, called, called Sakuragi Hanamichi?"

Mitsui Shou lowered his head and took two steps, then suddenly raised his head again, turned to Akagi with some anticipation and asked.

"Now?"

Akagi was really a little confused by Mitsui's question now.

"That's right, you lead the way, and before we go back to school in the evening, take me to see, this kid named Sakura."

"Oh, okay."

The three of them, led by Akagi, walked in the direction of Sakuragi Hana Taoist.

In the Xiangyang Gymnasium on the other side, although some of the players have left after finishing the day's training, there are still some people who have stayed for different reasons and are ready to practice for a while.

In one half, Hikaru Haneda and Fujima were engaged in daily bullfighting, honing each other's skills and confirming each other's ideas.

At the top of the three-point arc, Fujima turned sideways to Hikaru Haneda, protected with his right hand in front of him, and dribbled with one hand with his left hand, pressing the ball very low.

"What did you say to Mitsui Shou in the afternoon?"

"Huh?"

"That guy has everything on his face, and he can see that something is wrong."

"Ahh

"Alone? Who? ”

"A guy you don't know."

"Hmm!"

"In this way, if you beat me today, I will tell you."

Hikaru Haneda smiled and said half-jokingly to Fujima. Then, then Hikaru Haneda looked at the air in front of him and couldn't laugh.

"Brush"

Hikaru Haneda turned around and saw the basketball fall into the net with a crisp sound.

Fujima picked up the basketball that was bouncing on the ground, dribbled the ball and walked outside the three-point line, and said to Hikaru Haneda.

"The first ball."

"You're cheating!"

"Each other, each other."

Hikaru Haneda took the basketball from Fujima, hit the ground and passed it back.

Fujima attacked again.

……

Ten minutes later, Kenji Fujima was hunched over with his hands on his knees, his mouth gasping for breath, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

On the side, Hikaru Haneda, who was lying on the ground in a large shape, kept his chest rising and falling, and it took a while to slowly calm down.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Sakuragi Hanamichi."

"I don't know."

"Just say you don't know, you have to ask."

Fujima frowned, did not answer, and patiently waited for Haneda's explanation.

Hikaru Haneda sat up and thought for a while before he spoke: "I can't explain it to you for a while, for example: Makishiichi, who didn't play basketball during junior high school, can you understand?" ”

"Are you saying that this kid named Sakuragi Hanamichi is still a junior high school student, and he has the physical fitness of that guy from Hainan Mu?"

"Bingo!"

"Does the coach know?"

"Tell him what?"

"And who did you tell?"

"You and Mitsui."

Fujima's eyes suddenly became strange when he looked at Hikaru Haneda.

"Hey! Hey, why are you looking at me like that again! ”

"You're such a 'good' teammate."
