In the summer evening, the sunset shines obliquely, the light and shadow are intertwined, and the breeze is light.

In the middle of the park's court, Sakuragi Hanamichi has her knees slightly bent, her eyes straight ahead, and her right hand is slapping the basketball. Jinguji Takemichi stood at the intersection and looked towards the venue from afar, and he could also see Sakuragi Hanamichi's shirt completely wet with sweat.

Next to the basketball hoop, Mito Yohei sat or stood, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was practicing in the middle of the court without saying a word.

"This guy.... Something I didn't expect! ”

Seeing this scene, the martial arts of Jinguji Temple muttered softly. Sakuragi ikebana sweats a lot, and even if it's summer, it's not possible to sweat as much as Sakuragi ikebana in a while.

It can be seen that before Jinguji Martial Arts came to the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi had been training for a long time. There was no Akagi Haruko present today, and there was no Jinguji Martial Arts present.

"Young! Brother Martial Arts is here. ”

Mito Yohei inadvertently turned his head and let him see the Jinguji martial arts at the intersection, and then greeted the martial arts with a smile. His voice attracted the attention of the others, and Takamiya and the others also smiled and waved towards Martial Dao.

Seeing the figure of Martial Arts, Sakuragi Hanamichi stopped training, casually clipped the basketball to his waist, and happily waved towards Martial Arts and shouted: "Big brother! Dribble, I've learned! ”

Martial Arts approached, smiled and greeted everyone, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately ran to the side of Jinguji Martial Arts, dropped the ball and dribbled twice, and said: "Big brother, I have learned to dribble, na, teach me other things." ”

"It's just a simple slap of the ball twice, and I'm embarrassed to say that I've learned to dribble, you kid, you're really ....."

Sakuragi Hanamichi's words made Martial Arts a little speechless, how long has this kid been in contact with basketball? Dare to say that he has learned to dribble. However, Martial Arts understands Sakuragi Hanamichi's character and doesn't want to dampen Sakuragi Hanamichi's enthusiasm, so he didn't say anything, and he just thought about it in his heart.

However, Sakuragi's mentality still needs to be corrected, and if you take basketball so lightly, it will not be a good thing for Sakuragi's future.

"Hehe, Hanamichi, you're really working hard."

"Very good, keep training like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can surpass me."

"When the time comes, I will really be able to let Haruko take a few looks."

Wu Dao patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulder and complimented him with a smile, grabbed the basketball from Sakuragi Hanamichi's waist casually, held it in his hand, and said:

Small kiosk

"Ikebana, your dribbling is indeed very advanced, but what you just did is just the foundation of the foundation, even if it is completed, it is nothing."

"I'll teach you advanced movements, you pay attention."

As he spoke, Wu Dao's legs opened, and he bent his knees slightly and began to dribble the crotch figure 8, and while dribbling, he said, "Look, when dribbling, you have to keep your eyes on the front." ”

"The purpose is to be able to see the opponent's movements."

"The waist board should be straight, this is to facilitate the movement of connecting the breakthrough."

"Dribbling around your legs, it's better for you to control the basketball."

Jinguji Martial Arts said while giving a demonstration to Sakuragi Hanamichi. He didn't worry about whether Sakuragi Hanamichi's foundation was solid enough, whether he could complete such dribbling moves at this stage, and now he taught Sakuragi Hanamichi such a move just to make Sakuragi Hanamichi have the enthusiasm to train.

Wu Dao knows the character of Hanamichi, and let him do a boring workout If no one is staring, I'm afraid he won't last long. Give him some slightly more difficult dribbling moves, even if you can't do it for a while, it doesn't matter, Sakuragi will want to do it.

"Oh! It seems to be a little harder, but this kind of thing can't be difficult for me! ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi is really full of interest in the things that Martial Arts gave him.,In the end, it's a young man.,I'm always curious about new things.,After being curious.,That is, I want to try it myself.。

Takeshi gave the basketball to Sakuragi Hanamichi and let Sakuragi Hanamichi practice by himself, while he himself walked to the sidelines and sat with Yohoi and others.

"When I went to school today, I saw him playing with a ball, and Sakuragi's enthusiasm for becoming an athlete seems to be unprecedentedly high!"

"Brother Martial Dao, what happened?"

"I can see that Sakuragi this time doesn't seem to be the same as before, it's not like it's a three-minute heat."

Mito Yohei asked Jinguji Martial Dao, who was sitting beside him, and hearing his words, Takamiya and the others also looked at Jinguji Martial Dao. Sakuragi Hanamichi's current state made his friends extremely curious.

"It's normal for adolescent children to have a desire for sports."

"You guys stay with this guy Sakuragi for a few more days, and you'll soon know why."

Wu Dao smiled when he heard this, and did not directly tell Yang Ping the reason.

"Really? Then I'm going to see what kind of magic it is. Yohei and Takanomiya and the others glanced at each other, and then looked at the cherry blossom path in the field, and the exploration and curiosity in their eyes became more and more vigorous.

The Sakuragi Legion's chaotic life in the country finally has something interesting enough for a few of them to explore.

...

The high-intensity training of Xiangbei High School lasted for two days, and after a short period of high-intensity training, the amount of practice in Xiangbei began to decrease significantly, and the round-robin competition of the top four was getting closer and closer.

The life of Jinguji Martial Arts has changed slightly, and he tends to end the team's training half an hour early and find time to go to the park to teach Sakuragi Hanamichi.

And the training arrangement of martial arts for Sakuragi Hanamichi is also very simple, that is, dribbling and ball practice.

Jinguji Martial Arts' current positioning of Sakuragi Hanamichi is to become a big forward with both offense and defense, and defensive training is not important to martial arts at this stage, because Sakuragi Hanamichi's defensive instincts are very good, and the physical fitness is terrifying, and when he enters Xiangbei in the future, the defense can be greatly improved in a short period of time.

At this point, Sakuragi Hanamichi in the original world has already proven his defensive talent. In terms of interior skills, things like card positions, rebounding, and the basics of basketball games are not taught in martial arts, and these things can be handed over to the Akagi Gangken brothers and sisters, and their teaching effect is definitely better than that of martial arts.

As for the exercise of physical fitness, Sakuragi really doesn't need it for the time being, one is that Sakuragi Hanamichi itself is very terrifying, and it is considered to be a talented one, and the other is that Sakuragi Hanamichi has not yet entered the development period, and it is enough to exercise with general intensity.

Jinguji martial arts focused on the improvement of physical fitness when he was in middle school, mainly because his body was already weak, and if he didn't improve his physical fitness, it would not be enough for others to play on the court, and another reason was that martial arts had a system of medicines, and he was not afraid of strain.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi and Martial Arts are completely different.

Therefore, when Martial Arts trained Sakuragi, he focused on dribbling, dribbling, is the life of all basketball players, and Martial Arts plans to let Sakuragi learn the steps of Big Dream like him in the future, all of which require strong dribbling ability as the cornerstone.

He knows that Sakuragi is a person who lacks patience, so whenever Sakuragi has signs of complaining, he will change the method to train Sakuragi's dribbling.

Before you know it, a week passed quickly.

Sakuragi also went to Akagi's house twice on Saturday and Sunday, and although Takedo didn't know what Akagi Tsuyoken taught Sakuragi Hanamichi, what Takemichi knew was that Sakuragi Hanamichi was even more enthusiastic when he trained with Martial Arts on Monday than when he first got into basketball last week.

"Sakuragi, I've been practicing basketball for more than a week, and you don't seem to have a clear understanding of basketball."

"This Sunday and Saturday, the county gymnasium will have a high school county competition round-robin, we have a game in Xiangbei, you can come to the stadium to watch our game."

"By the way, Haruko should be going too, you can try to ask her along."

"In this ball game, I will open the door to a new world for you!"

In the evening of that day, Jinguji Takedo instructed Sakuragi Hanamichi to practice at the park course as usual. After the training, Takemichi gave this message to Hanamichi Sakuragi before leaving.

"Competition.... Basketball game! ”

"What's the gate to the new world?!"

"Let's go take a look, what's more, there's Haruko here~~"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's original intention of playing basketball did not change, and when he heard that Haruko was going, he immediately responded with a fuss.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the day of the county tournament round-robin.

The time is only eight o'clock, and the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium is already crowded, and the basketball atmosphere in Kanagawa Prefecture is quite good, and the schedule has reached the final four round-robin, and almost all spectators who are interested in high school basketball will come to watch the game.

There were even teams from other prefectures that staggered the game time and rushed to Kanagawa Prefecture to watch the game. These people are all here to watch the Hainan game. The Hainan University High School in Kanagawa Prefecture is a veteran team that has been in the national competition for more than 10 consecutive years.

Nationwide, it is also quite famous, and many teams have traveled hundreds of miles to watch the game, just to observe the strength of this national powerhouse in advance.

Outside the arena, Haruko Akagi of Sakuragi Hanamichi walked up the stairs side by side, and Yohei Mito followed behind Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko, separated by a distance of four or five meters. Sakuragi Hanamichi said something with a smile on her face, and Haruko was also excited, these two people seem to have a lot of common language.

The "happiness" on Sakuragi Hanamichi's face can't be concealed at all, and it has long overflowed, even if it is far away, Yosho people can feel it.

"Sakuragi actually managed to ask Haruko out?! How is it possible for this guy who has been dumped more than twenty times?! Noma fell behind Sakuragi and Haruko with a look of disbelief.

"This stupid guy not only met such a beautiful girl, but also talked and laughed with each other, how did he do it?!" Danan Xiong Er also didn't believe the scene that happened in front of him at this time, grabbed his collar and bit it, looking very angry.

"Now, you say, this time, how long has this kid Sakuragi been dumped?"

"Let's make a bet, I'll bet for two weeks!"

Gao Gongwang clasped his hands on his chest, and a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his fat face. It's not that Gao Gong himself wants to laugh at how obscene, it's just that his face, no matter how he laughs, is obscene.

"Hey, you guys, how can you say that?!" Mito Yohei stopped a few companions with a serious face, and while talking, Yohei took out a banknote from his trouser pocket, and said with a smile: "I'll bet for half a month!" ”

His seriousness lasted for a few seconds.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was walking in front with Haruko Akagi, never imagined that he had become a gambling project for these friends, and at this time, he was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness. This is the first time he has been "alone" with a girl.

"Let's go, Sakuragi, the game is about to begin!" Haruko Akagi subconsciously glanced at the watch on the inside of her wrist when she was chatting with Sakuragi, looked at the time, and immediately anxiously grabbed Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm and ran towards the venue.

Sakuragi obviously didn't expect Haruko to suddenly hold his hand, and subconsciously followed Haruko towards the field, and his face was already red. Mito and the others, who followed Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko, all looked at each other dumbfounded, and then hurriedly followed.

In the stadium, the warm-up of the two teams on the field has come to an end. The players from Xiangbei returned to the rest area under the greeting of Coach Anxi, and the players from Wuyuan High School also returned to the leisure area to make final preparations.

In the audience on the south side of the stadium, there are all girls in school uniforms, and the whole stadium is cheering for these girls, this is the cheerleading team of Wuyuan.

"Whew, finally caught up!" Haruko Akagi pulled Sakuragi Hanamichi to appear at the intersection of the audience passage, Haruko breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the venue with an excited face.

And the moment Sakuragi Hanamichi walked out of the passage, he was startled by the tsunami-like cheers, and looking at the densely packed venues, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but lose his mind.

The metal halide lamps on the top of the stadium illuminate the entire stadium, and the brightness of the spectator seats is slightly dim, but standing on the spectator seats, the view of the stadium is also clearer, which is a scene that Sakuragi Hanamichi has never experienced. The cheers of the audience penetrated into Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears, making his blood boil unconsciously.

Feeling the atmosphere of the arena, Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed to know what Martial Arts and what he said about "the gate to a new world".

"It's... It's a basketball game! Sakuragi Hanamichi was thinking this in his heart, but he was suddenly grabbed by Haruko's hand and ran down the steps, and did not stop until he came to the fence at the front of the auditorium.

"Brother, come on!" Haruko Akagi shouted into the arena, but her voice was instantly drowned out in the cheers of the audience.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked in the direction of Haruko, and saw five players walking out of Xiangbei's side, walking towards the middle of the court. The person at the head, Sakuragi Hanamichi is very familiar with, and it is the elder brother of Haruko Akagi, Tsuyoshi Akagi.

"Eh, Brother Wu Dao is sitting on the bench, he didn't play, isn't he an athlete?!"

Behind Sakuragi, Mito Yohei's voice suddenly sounded, and at this time, Yohei and the others stood beside Sakuragi, curiously looking towards the field.

"Hahaha, Brother Martial Arts braggarts, and said that he was an athlete, but it wasn't it~" Gao Gongwang saw the martial arts of Jinguji Temple sitting on the bench in northern Xiangbei, and laughed.

At this time, the players on the Xiangbei side were the starting team led by Akagi Gangxian, except for Akagi, the rest of the players were first-year. Ryota Miyagi, Satoru Tsunoda, Tetsushi Shiozaki, Yasuharu Yasuda. The whole team looked unimposing.

"You guys.... How are you guys here?! Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Yohei and the others, his face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously protected Haruko, pointing at a few people and shouting.

Sakuragi is also an experienced person, he has been dumped so many times before, and it is not entirely his own problem, these bad friends have a considerable effect! Anyone who sees Sakuragi Hanamichi mixed with this group of people who don't seem to get along well will also make a mistake in their hearts.

"Huh? Sakuragi, is this your friend? ”

"Hello, my name is Haruko Akagi, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Obviously, Haruko Akagi and all the girls Sakuragi Hanamichi has confessed are different, and when they saw Yohei and others, not only did they not have the slightest fear, but greeted them warmly. This kind of behavior surprised Yangping greatly, and then they also restrained their temperament and politely introduced themselves to Haruko.

"Haruko, have you watched the Xiangbei game before? Eldest brother..... Isn't he really a basketball player? ”

"He's just... A bench?! ”

Sakuragi waited for Yohei and Haruko to get to know each other briefly, and then picked up the words of Yohei just now, and asked Haruko beside him.

To be honest, Sakuragi Hanamichi is a little lost, he trusts Jinguji Martial Arts very much, and has always regarded martial arts as his goal, at this time, he saw Jinguji Martial Arts sitting on the bench, and there is a big gap between the current martial arts and the martial arts image in Hanamichi's mind!

This can't help but make Sakuragi feel cheated and not in a very comfortable mood.

"Huh?!"

"How is that possible? The senior of Jinguji Temple is the trump card of Xiangbei High School. ”

"The current lineup is just testing the water, you just look at it."
