Chapter 159, Lingnan
In Hainan's matches against Xiangbei, Xiangyang and Lingnan, the most critical issue now is the players of the joint team. Kenji Fujima of Xiangyang has already said that they are going to participate in this game with Mitsui Shou and them, but the players of Lingnan don't know about it yet.
When Kenji Fujima called Lingnan on the first day, he happened to be picked up by Hikoichi Aida. Yokoichi Aida is more of a manager and spy in Lingnan, and when he hears the contents of the call, Aida Hikochi is startled. I just finished a game with Xiangbei, and now I'm going to Hainan again, isn't this a farewell party in disguise.
"Okay, I'll tell Captain Xiandao about this." Yan Yi's eyes lit up, he also liked this kind of competition very much, and more importantly, he had an old sister who was a reporter, and his surname would not be bad.
"Immortal Dao, captain, captain." Hikoichi Aida ran to announce the news to Sendo and the rest of the team in Lingnan, and his mouth foamed at the mouth with excitement.
"What, playing with Hainan?" Hearing what Yan said one by one, Lingnan's team members were also happy, and they all shouted that they must go and see it.
"Captain, what do you think?" Hikochi asked Sen Dao. Yuzhu has already left the team, so Sendo is now the captain of Lingnan.
"Ha~~~." Xiandao let out a long yawn, it seems that except for the game, Xiandao has been in this semi-sleepy state.
"Huh? What's the matter? β
"It's just going to compete with Hainan. Captain Xiandao, if you are so drowsy again, the coach will curse again when he sees it. "Yan Yi is worried about Xiandao, Coach Tian Gang has said it many times for this matter.
"Ah, this matter, I'm not interested, if you hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have participated in the same competition as Xiangbei." Xiandao yawned and leaned back in the chair and said, "Now our main task is training, so you guys train hard, as for me, I'll rest first." β
"No, I'm not going." Yan Yi was a little disappointed, although there were no regrets in the game with Xiangbei, but it was not good to always lose, and now there is a chance, but I didn't expect the immortal senior not to participate.
"Ah, but if you want to see it, it shouldn't matter." No one knew what Xiandao was thinking at this time, his eyes were closed, and there was no expression on his face.
Lingnan's team members were staring at their captain at this time, and they also felt a little uncomfortable. The current situation in Lingnan is worrying, after Captain Yuzhu is gone, the whole team is supported by Xiandao alone, and they now urgently need an exciting event to stabilize the confidence of all the team members.
Coach Tian Gang watched this scene at the door, and he was honestly very satisfied with the Xiandao Zhang he had bothered to dig up. But if he is alone, Lingnan will have absolutely no chance of entering the national competition, and Hainan and Xiangbei are obstacles in their way.
After the day's training, Coach Tian Gang left Xiandao alone. He wants to talk to Xiandao well, for Lingnan, and for Xiandao himself.
"Xiandao, do you remember when I found you and promised you terms?" Coach Tian Gang said straight to the point.
"Huh?" Xiandao was obviously stunned for a moment, and the action of eating oranges also stopped. After the two of them were silent for a moment, Xiandao regained his lazy expression, continued to eat his oranges, and said intermittently: "I have long forgotten that kind of thing. β
"Forgotten, huh." Coach Tian Gang's tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear disappointment or joy. He sat in a lounge chair with his head bowed.
"But I still remember, I promise you, I will definitely let you enter the national competition, and I will make Lingnan a strong team in the country. But now, the chances are getting smaller and smaller. β
Coach Tian Gang said, Xiandao listened silently and did not interrupt him. The lazy expression on his face has never changed.
"Sendo, it's me who missed the appointment first, and if you want to go back to Tokyo, I won't keep it. After all, it's your hometown, and there are a lot of strong teams, so if you join us, you will definitely achieve your dream next year. β
Coach Tian Gang's words are still very calm, and he is mentally prepared. At the same time, Coach Tian Gang is also gambling, he bets on Xiandao's feelings for Lingnan and other players in the past two years, and bets that he will not abandon Lingnan easily.
Xiandao's oranges had already been eaten, and at this time he stood up and walked out. "If there's nothing else to do, I'll go first, and I'll have to train tomorrow."
"Immortal Dao γγγγ" Coach Tian Gang raised his head for the first time, his eyes full of unbelievable joy and gratitude. Xiandao really didn't disappoint him, as long as he stayed in Lingnan, Lingnan still had hope, as for the powerful helper, it was his own business, he would definitely make Lingnan strong again, and he wouldn't let Xiandao stand alone.
"Wait."
"Huh? Is there anything else, ahγγγ" Xiandao yawned loudly, so that Coach Tian Gang couldn't figure out whether Xiandao was really tired or fake.
"Xiandao, tomorrow's game, you can go too." Coach Tian Gang clenched his fists in front of his chest, looked at him and said, "Let everyone know that Lingnan will still be their biggest opponent next year." β
"Huh?" Immortal Dao's face collapsed instantly. It's not that he doesn't want to go to tomorrow's game, but he's most afraid of trouble. Unless he can't get out of the way, he won't take the initiative to find trouble. But now that it has been decided, Xiandao's face slowly became resolute: "Okay, since that's the case, let's take a look." β
Hikoichi Aida has been sullen since returning home, and during the meal, his sister Yayoi Aida sees that something is wrong with his younger brother.
"Hikoichi, what's wrong, why are you upset." Aida Yayoi cares about her brother very much, she is a reporter for Basketball Weekly, and her brother also went to play basketball under her influence, but I think their relationship is very good.
"Sister, is it wrong for you to say that I chose to play basketball? I'm so short and I'm not skilled. Hikoichi had been thinking about today's events, and he had seen everyone's expressions in his eyes. Captain Xiandao must be worried about the other team members, so he didn't want to delay training. And he and the other team members couldn't help at all, and Captain Xiandao must have wanted to go to the game.
"Huh? How to say that. "Yayoi Aida didn't expect Hikoichi to suddenly question his basketball, and it seems that the problem is very serious.
"Because, because Sendo seniors γγγ," Hikoichi Aida said what happened, "If it weren't for us to drag me down, I'm sure Sendo Senpai would have wanted to participate in the competition." β
"What! The match with Hainan γγγγ" Aida Yayoi didn't seem to hear the point of her brother's words, and as a reporter, she easily grasped the biggest news in it. The game, just like the one in Xiangbei, this time it's Hainan's turn, against the strong players of other teams, if γγγγγγ
"Sister, are you listening to me?" Hikoto Aida didn't have to think about it to know what his sister was having, so he slapped his hands on the table and shouted loudly.
"Ah, that, this, hehehe, Hikochi, can you tell me who is going to participate." Hikoichi and his sister are worthy of being sisters and brothers, and Miss Aida Yayoi doesn't know where to take out a notebook that is identical to Hikoichi, and asks her younger brother Hikoichi questions while recording.
"Sisterγγγ" Yanyi felt that his lungs were about to be blown up, this old sister of his own would not have an occupational disease, but she was still thinking about her work at this time, but she didn't care about her younger brother.
"Ah, hehehe, brother, it's not good for my sister." Miss Yayoi Aida also came back to her senses, saying that it was really not the time to want to work. Seeing her younger brother frowning, Miss Aida Yayoi explained: "Brother, although your strength is not as good as those players, but you are also working hard for your own basketball, your book is full of information about the players you know, they have given you and Lingnan a lot of help, isn't it, how can you say it's useless." β
"ButγBut γγγ" Aida Hikoi still couldn't figure it out in his heart, seeing that since the Sendo seniors started training, they didn't even go to their favorite fishing, and they had been helping other team members do all kinds of training, and he couldn't do anything except do chores.
"Okay, Hikochi, speaking of which, you are lamenting here in the air, it is better to hurry up and practice, so that you can help the Immortal Dao as soon as possible."
