Jinguji Martial Arts was stopped by reporters at the door of the lounge for an interview, and a group of team members in Xiangbei were not in a hurry to leave, so they found a place in the hall not far away and sat down, waiting for Jinguji Martial Arts to end the interview.

Haruko Akagi saw that the martial arts of Jinguji Temple had actually attracted the attention of the media, and she was also curious to look at the side for a while, but when she saw Akagi and them walking towards the hall, she hurriedly followed.

"Let's go, Sakuragi, brother, they're out."

Haruko shouted at Sakuragi Hanamichi behind her, but she didn't get any response, turned her head to look, and found that Sakuragi Hanamichi was standing in place at this time, looking at Jinguji Martial Arts surrounded by reporters in a daze, and the light in her eyes could be seen by a fool like Haruko.

"Sakuragi?" Haruko walked and raised her head slightly, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi's face, it was the first time she had seen such an expression from Sakuragi Hanamichi's body, hope, longing. At this time, the cherry blossom road exudes an indescribable charm.

"I've decided!"

Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had been silent for a long time, said a sentence from his mouth.

"What?"

"What was decided?"

Mito Yohei and Takanomiya Nozomi and the others suddenly heard Sakuragi Hanamichi say this, and they all gathered around Sakuragi Hanamichi and looked at Hanamichi suspiciously. As Sakuragi Hanamichi's best friend, Mito Yohei and Takanomiya Noboru and others know the character of Sakuragi Hanamichi very well, this kid, I'm afraid it is....

"I want to be a real athlete, I want to be a player like Brother Martial Arts!"

And then ..... Interview with the media! ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly clenched his fists and said with an oath. And Mito Yohei showed an expression of "sure enough", looking at each other, full of helplessness.

"Eh~ Ikebana, you better forget it, you will never become a real athlete."

"Your three-minute heat, we don't know, impossible, impossible~"

Gao Gongwang was the first to start taunting, and the fat hand shook quickly, not noticing that Sakuragi's face was already a little unkind when he heard his words.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Ikebana, you're just playing on a whim, even if you're playing basketball now, you won't be able to play for a few months. ”

"Estimated.... Hey, hey, hey!

！ ”

Yuji Ou Nan also picked up Gao Gongwang's words and said with a smile. In the end, Yuji Daikusu glanced at Haruko Akagi without a trace and let out a cheap smile.

Yuji Daikusu's words were a bit clueless, but the people of the Sakuragi Legion understood Yuji Ousu's meaning for the first time.

The reason why Sakuragi Hanamichi went to play basketball was entirely because of Haruko Akagi's relationship. All of them all know that Sakuragi Hanamichi is interested in Haruko Akagi, and wants to attract Haruko's attention and get Haruko's heart by playing basketball.

But the people of the Sakuragi Army are not optimistic that Sakuragi Hanamichi can catch up with Akagi Haruko, a gentle and beautiful girl like Haruko is definitely very sought-after, and it is impossible for anyone to take the turn of a fool like Sakuragi Hanamichi. When will Haruko fall in love with someone else, will Sakuragi Hanamichi, this kid, still play basketball?

Maybe it will, but at that time, the "playing basketball" of Sakuragi Hanamichi and the conventional sense of playing basketball may not be the same concept.

How is it possible that Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has an impure purpose in itself, wants to become a player like Jinguji Martial Arts?!

It's not a day or two that everyone in the Sakuragi Legion knows Jinguji Martial Arts, and everyone knows how much time Jinguji Martial Arts spends on basketball and how terrifying the training is, although Sakuragi Hanamichi is now practicing basketball every day, but the amount of his practice is not even comparable to Jinguji Martial Arts' toes.

"Hanamichi, you, give up your idea as soon as it's too late."

"Well, the path to becoming an athlete and being interviewed won't work, but ikebana, you can find another way!"

"Become a famous fool in the whole country, and there will definitely be reporters to interview ~"

"Hahahaha!"

Takamiya didn't notice what Sakuragi Hanamichi's face had turned black at this time, and he was talking and laughing to himself, he thought that his words would attract the unanimous approval of his partners, but he suddenly found that Mito Yohei and Noma, who were originally standing beside him and surrounded Sakuragi, had already distanced themselves from him by several meters.

"What are you doing all this far?" Gao Gong didn't know why, his face was puzzled, what he didn't notice was that Sakuragi Hanamichi had appeared behind him with a black face, and a pair of eyes were staring at Gao Miya's back.

"Murderous!" Takamiya didn't know why he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and just as he was about to turn back, Sakuragi Hanamichi's powerful arms were already pinched around his neck.

"Damn fellow! How dare you laugh at Uncle Ben! ”

"Die, bastard!" Sakuragi Hanamichi gritted his teeth and shouted, pinching Takamiya's arm tighter and tighter.

"Ugh!

”

"You unrighteous guys, come and help me!"

"To.... I'm going to die! ”

Takamiya Wang was suddenly choked by Sakuragi's neck, struggling hard but couldn't break free, and could only look at Mito Yohei, only to find that Yohei at this time was actually pretending to be holding earwax, and Noma turned his head to look at the ceiling, pretending not to see, as for Yuji Daikusu, he was gone for a while.

"It's really~ How can you say that about Sakuragi-kun."

"Sakuragi-kun, I believe you can become a real basketball player, you have to work hard!"

Just as Takamiya was about to roll his eyes, Haruko Akagi's gentle voice suddenly sounded from Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears. Hearing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears pricked up, and he immediately let go of the arms that clamped Takamiya, and quickly came to Haruko's face, nodded with a smile, and swore an oath:

"Haruko~ Don't worry, I will definitely become a real basketball star!

”

Sakuragi Hanamichi is really like a good baby in front of Haruko, with a simple and honest look, and the two of them are judged before. Gao Gongwang was already kneeling in the corner for a while, rubbing his throat and coughing.

"Gotta... Saved! Takamiya gulped down the air, rejoicing. And it was only at this time that Mito Yohei came to his side and looked at Takamiya with a smile.

"Who told you that you don't know how to look at your face, you deserve it, hahaha!"

Mito gloated a little and laughed at Takamiya, and at the end of the corridor, Yuji Ou Kusu poked his head out and saw Sakuragi Hanamichi talking to Haruko with a smile on his face, and saw Takanomiya Wang, who was kneeling in the corner of the wall and escaped, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then whistled out of the shadows, and mixed with Sakuragi Legion and others.

Just when Sakuragi and the others were fighting, the Jinguji Martial Arts side had already finished the interview.

A group of reporters have already left at this time, everyone is smiling when they leave, it can be seen that they are also full of harvest for this interview, looking at their appearance, the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers and magazines should have fallen.

"Young, Sakuragi, why are you here?"

"Didn't watch the game on the pitch?"

After the Jinguji Martial Arts finished the interview, he was about to meet with the team members in Xiangbei, and found Sakuragi and others in the distance of the corridor, so he walked over directly and asked curiously.

"Huh! Jinguji senior, is your interview over? ”

"Congratulations, seniors of Jinguji Temple, congratulations on your promotion to the quarterfinals in Xiangbei, and congratulations on refreshing the scoring record of the conference!"

Haruko Akagi heard the sound and saw that it was the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and immediately smiled and congratulated. Jinguji Martial Arts and her brother Akagi Gangxian are teammates, and because of the relationship between Sakuragi Hanamichi, Haruko is also familiar with Jinguji Martial Arts, so she directly greeted generously and said congratulations.

"Brother Wu Dao, your performance on the court is really good, can you teach me that shooting?"

"I also wish I could be like you, unbeatable on the court!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was not seen at all in front of Martial Arts, and walked directly to Martial Arts' side happily, without even saying a word of congratulations, and directly said that he wanted to learn to shoot.

"Teach you? Of course, there is no problem, as for whether you can be invincible after learning, then I don't dare to pack tickets. ”

"If you want to be like me, but it takes a lot of effort, it's very hard!"

Takeshi smiled and patted Sakuragi's shoulder, then put his arms around Sakuragi and walked towards the hall.

"I'm not afraid of hardships, as long as I can learn, I should put in the effort!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi said loudly, with a fearless look. Martial Arts also felt that this kid Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed to be more enthusiastic than ever today, and even the words he said were a little like a person....

"Young... How could this come out of this kid's mouth? It shouldn't be. ”

"If it's this kid, you'd be like, 'I'm a genius, don't I just shoot?' As long as Brother Martial Arts teaches me, I will be able to learn it in no time! 'Something like that...."

Martial Arts looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi's face suspiciously, and then looked at Mito Yohei and others, although he didn't know what was going on, but Martial Arts was sure that there was definitely an incentive for Sakuragi's kid to have such a change.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that this trigger is actually himself.

Jinguji Martial Arts took Sakuragi Hanamichi and others to meet with everyone in Xiangbei, and the group didn't stay in the hall for too long, Haruko and Akagi Gangxian left after chatting a few words, and didn't choose to act with everyone in Xiangbei, and Sakuragi Hanamichi This kid also followed Haruko, and Yosho Ping people needless to say, where Sakuragi goes, where they go.

After separating from Sakuragi and others, everyone in Xiangbei returned to the stands and watched the next game.

Today is a 16-8 match, with a total of 8 games.

The schedule of the national competition has reached here, and there are no weak teams anymore, and all the teams in the competition have two brushes, so today's game will be much better than the previous few days' games.

As the competition progressed, the list of the top 8 in the country was officially released.

This year's national competition, the most dazzling is undoubtedly Kanagawa Prefecture, representing Kanagawa Prefecture to attend the national competition, Lingnan High School and Xiangbei High School have advanced to the top 8, and Lingnan is to defeat the previous overlord Sanno Industry, Xiangbei High School is to crush Aihe, a veteran national top 8 team.

Xiangbei and Lingnan can be promoted, there is no water at all, and they all rely on strength.

At the same time, the ratings of Xiangbei and Lingnan have also been adjusted, from a B grade that cannot be on the table, to an AA grade, but this adjustment has not been officially released in the form of a magazine, but it is only discussed and circulated in the circle of reporters.

In addition to the two teams of Lingnan and Shohoku, the other six teams are Rakuan High School in Kyoto, Daiei Gakuin in Osaka, Hakata Shokai affiliated with Fukuoka, Kazumi High School in Gunma, Meitomo Industry in Aichi Prefecture, and Kakutsuru High School in Kagawa Prefecture.

Among them, Kyoto's Luoan, Fukuoka's Hakata, Aichi's Mingtomo Industry, these three schools are all veteran powerhouses, in the past are all teams that have participated in national competitions and have been ranked, Luoan and Hakata have won the second and third place in recent years, the strength of the two teams is not much different, they are the top teams, in the past, they are only slightly inferior to Sanno Industries.

As for Mingpeng Industry, the best result in the national competition is the top 8, and their strength is not bad this year, but to be able to advance to the top 8, in fact, there is also an element of luck, after all, they were not classified into the "group of death".

Kazami High School and Kakurazuru High School were originally the kind of high schools that were at the bottom of the national competition, and this year's ability to break into the quarterfinals is also thanks to the good luck of the group draw.

There is a huge difference between the list of the top 8 in the country this year and the previous year, the top 8 regulars in previous years, such as Aihe College, Fengyu High School, did not even enter the top 8 this year, and the previous overlord Shanwang Industry was eliminated by Lingnan High School early. Even the Hainan University affiliated with Kanagawa Prefecture, such a top 8 regular, did not even have the opportunity to attend the national competition.

Everyone knows that the biggest variable in this year's national tournament is the two teams in Kanagawa Prefecture.

...

Early the next morning.

It's dark.

On the bed of Jinguji Martial Dao, there is no longer the figure of Jinguji Martial Dao.

"Step... Trample... Trample... Tread..."

In the hotel's gym, a tall figure is running on a treadmill, and the morning light shines through the window, leaving a bright light and shadow on the ground.

"Whew... Whew..."

Jinguji Martial Arts has a sweat towel on his head, and he is jogging, and the vest he is wearing has long been soaked with sweat, but his breathing is not only rhythmic, but also very powerful, and it can be seen from the state of Martial Arts that although he sweats a lot, his physical fitness is still very abundant.

"Finally... It's going to be a fight with that guy again. ”

"Although there were a lot of balls and singles in yesterday's game, that level of defense didn't make me have too much consumption at all."

"After a night's rest, I've adjusted to my best."

"The other players in Xiangbei didn't play much in yesterday's game, and their physical fitness is abundant."

"We in Xiangbei can meet today's game with the strongest attitude!"

"This time, I definitely don't want to lose again!"

After a long time, Jinguji Martial Arts stopped the treadmill, grabbed the sweat towel covering his head, wiped the sweat off his face, and silently walked to the window and looked out of the window.

The morning light fell on the body of the martial arts of the Jingu Temple, and the beads of sweat on his body reflected a little colored light.
