Chapter 122, Xiangbei vs. Hainan 9
"Coach Ann, Coach Anzai." Ayako was bandaging Akagi's ankle when she heard the door knock and turned her head to see that it was Coach Anzai who slowly walked in.
"Coach, coach, I'll be fine right away, how is the game." Coach Anzai could clearly see that Akagi was holding back the pain when he said this. So he was stunned for a while, but in the end he still made up his mind and insisted on what he had in mind.
"Akagi."
"Coach Anthy." Akagi Goken saw Coach Anzai's expression, and his heart jumped, this is a bad premonition, could it be that the game is already irretrievable.
"Coach Anthy, how is the game?" Ayako asked while bandaging, and after glancing at Coach Anzai, she started bandaging again, so she didn't see Coach Anzai's expression.
"Hehe, the first half should be over by now." Coach Anzai took two steps forward and asked Ayako, "How is Akagi's foot injury, is it serious?" β
"Coach, well, it's okay, but you need to recuperate for a while." Ayako thought about it and told the truth, but there was still room in the words. Sure enough, Captain Akagi heard Ayako's words and immediately retorted, "Coach Anzai, I'm fine." β
"Akagi γγγ" Coach Anzai knew Akagi's surname very well, and he also understood how important this game was to him, but it was the most important step in his growth, so he slowly thought about it before he spoke: "Akagi, this game is γγγ"
"Coach Anthy, captain." Coach Anzai was just about to speak, when Sakuragi Hanamichi and Ki Twilight rushed in. Mu Du looked at Akagi and Coach Anzai in the lounge, and hurriedly said, "Coach, Akagi, the first half of the game is over, the score is, the score is 44-22. β
Needless to say, the name of the team, Akagi and Ayako also guessed. Ayako looked at it with wide eyes and great surprise, but the surprised expression only lasted for a moment before being replaced by a deep sense of loss. Yes, Hainan was originally the strongest team in Kanagawa, and it was normal for Xiangbei to lag behind, plus Captain Akagi's feetγγγ
"2, 22 points." Akagi seemed to have completely forgotten about the pain in his foot, and just read the score in his mouth. "Hehe, it's okay, we still have the second half, I won't throw in easily, no! It's an opportunity I've been waiting for this day for too long, and I'm not going to give up. Akagi struggled to get up from the ground, his left foot still uncomfortable, so he leaned against the closet.
"Coach, in the second half, we will definitely get back the score and beat Hainan."
"That's right, Coach, we're not going to lose." Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mitsui Kotobuki, and Miyagi all shouted. Now they have completely gotten rid of the pressure that Hainan has put on them, maybe Hainan has woken them up, or maybe they have forgotten their tension because they are too far behind. In short, Xiangbei is now the real Xiangbei, except for Akagi Gangxian, of course.
"Hehehe, good, good." Coach Anzay looked at these proud disciples under his command: "You are much better now than you were at the beginning." β
"Coach!" Mu Du is also a veteran player, and he also noticed the difference in Coach Anzai.
"Listen to me." Coach Anthy looked around at all the players, "This game, I decided to end here. β
"What!" Although they had a hunch, when they actually heard Coach Anzai say this decision, Akagi, Ki Twilight, and all the team members were stunned and couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Coach Anthy." Ayako also looked at Coach Anzai with a surprised face, is this still the Anzai who is called the devil coach.
"Hehehe, alright, alright." Coach Anthy waved his hand to suppress everyone's chatter, and he always had a smile on his face. "Maybe you feel unwilling, it's inevitable. Others don't say, Mitsui and Akagi, you have been in Xiangbei for three years, and when you came to Xiangbei, I knew that the hope of Xiangbei was in the two of you. You have fought to this day with the goal of the whole country. β
"That's right, Coach Anthy, I dream of one day playing in the national tournament, of proving myself to everyone and letting everyone see my basketball." Akagi Gangxian said through gritted teeth while enduring the pain.
"Hehe, I know, I know you all are." Coach Anzai helped his glasses, looked at Akagi and said, "Akagi, and you." I have always taught you not to give up, not to give up at any time. However, there is one exception, and that is that in order to win in the end, sometimes you have to learn to accept defeat. β
"Coach Anzaiγγγ" Akagi was about to say something, but Coach Anzai interrupted him.
"Akagi, your goal is to compete in the national competition, so no matter what you do, you will work hard for that goal. We gave up this game today, not because we were afraid of Hainan, but because we had to make concessions in order to achieve the ultimate goal. After all, Akagi, your injury is unpredictable. In addition, are you still afraid of Hainan with cherry trees and Liuchuan wind? Coach Anthy turned his head to look at the two newcomers in the main team.
"Hmph,"
"How is it possible, I'm a genius."
The two people reacted differently, but the meaning was the same. If there was still a little fear of Hainan at the beginning, then now, to this point, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Good, hehehehe. That's the biggest takeaway from this game. Akagi, we are 22 points behind, the most important thing is your foot injury, we have to prepare for the next game, if we fight everything in order to win Hainanγγγ" Coach Anzai paused and looked at Akagi, while sweeping all the players "Akagi, you all are the same, you have to learn to give up, learn to face failure, only then can you become the greatest player." β
"Coach, IβI know." Akagi Tsuyoshi took the lead in setting an example, in fact, he understood that all this was caused by his own competitive spirit and his own selfishness. I have always wanted to defeat Hainan, which has become a hurdle in my heart, and now it is time to let go.
"Akagi γγγ" Ayako looked at Akagi in surprise, thinking that it was Akagi who would not agree the most, but he didn't expect that he was the first to agree in the end.
"Hehehe, yes, that's good." Coach Anzai looked at the others, especially Rukawa Kaze and Sakuragi, these two people's self-esteem is no worse than any other, especially Sakuragi, don't look at him with a big grin, simple-minded, the more such a guy, sometimes the more difficult it is to figure it out.
"Daddy, what are you talking about, how can we give up. Gorilla, are you crazy too, this is your dream since childhood. Sakuragi Hanamichi really didn't understand the meaning, and kept dissuading him in the middle of Coach Anzai and Akagi.
"Sakuragi, don't say it, coach, that's right." Akagi Gangken grabbed Sakuragi's head, endured the pain in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said.
"Gorilla, I γγγ" Sakuragi Hanamichi tasted defeat for the first time, and this was the first time, the first time it made him feel so painful from the heart.
"Alright, Sakuragi, it's not your fault." Akagi Goken raised his head and looked at everyone with red eyes, "Just like Coach Anzai said, we gave up this game, but we won't throw in the towel. I won't play, but you, Miyagi, Mitsui, Rukawa Kaze, Sakuragi, and Mu Dui, you have to finish the game and tell everyone with your actions that Xiangbei will not admit defeat. β
"Akagi."
"Boss."
Looking at Akagi, who was holding back tears, Miyagi knew that his heart must be extremely painful. It was his dream since childhood, but now γγγ
"Hehehe." Coach Anthy looked at these lovely children and began to laugh from the bottom of his heart. They will definitely be the strongest, although there will be setbacks, but they will grow up slowly after the baptism of hard games. And this game will be the most memorable one of their lives.
I'm not very good at writing emotional dramas, and I'm still not satisfied after changing it twice, hehe, everyone will just watch it. I will try to improve and everyone will see my results in the future, thank you for your support.
