When Sakuragi and the others arrived at the gymnasium, the players on both sides had already begun to warm up.

"Huh?" Sakuragi was about to squeeze through the crowd to report for duty, when he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure, and was immediately surprised. "Rukawa Kaede?"

"Rukawa Kaede?, where?where?"

As soon as Sakuragi's words came out, he knew that it was not good. Sure enough, as soon as she heard Rukawa Kaede's name, Haruko immediately became excited.

"Uh..." Seeing Haruko's appearance, Sakuragi was speechless for a moment. "Damn's opponent turned out to be Fuqiu, so I didn't ask Haruko to watch the game if I knew it. ”

Seeing Haruko staring at Rukawa Kaede's glittering eyes, Sakuragi tightened with pain. "It looks like we have to win today!"

"Is that one named Rukawa Kaede very powerful?" Mito and the others asked curiously.

"He's a pretty good guy, but he's certainly not as good as me. Sakuragi said deliberately, he couldn't think of praising this potential opponent in front of Haruko.

"Of course it's amazing!" Haruko didn't pay attention to Sakuragi's words at this time, and looked at Rukawa with bright eyes and said, "He is the most valuable player in this year's summer conference, and he hasn't been promoted to high school yet, so he is a well-known genius in the basketball world in the county." ”

"So powerful?" Seeing Haruko's excited little touch, the four of them immediately mourned for Sakuragi. "It seems that the flower arrangement is out of play, and Miss Haruko likes this Rukawa Kaede. ”

"Haruko-chan, you're here to cheer me on today, Rukawa Kaede is today's opponent!" Sakuragi held his forehead speechlessly.

At this moment, he secretly vowed to defeat Rukawa Kaede today, so that Rukawa would no longer be so special in Haruko's heart.

"Yes!" Haruko said as she barely snapped out her little tongue and assured Sakuragi. "Don't worry, Sakuragi-kun, I'll cheer you on. ”

After all, Haruko and Rukawa don't know each other at all, Haruko is just unrequited love, and Sakuragi is her friend, but she decided to help Sakuragi cheer because deep down Haruko feels that Rukawa will definitely win, and it doesn't make a difference whether she helps him cheer or not, so it's better to send some warmth to Sakuragi, a person who is destined to lose.

At this time, if Sakuragi knew what Haruko was thinking, he would probably vomit blood in anger, and sure enough, he was the same for both men and women.

"Okay, I'm over. Listening to Haruko's unreliable assurance, Sakuragi waved his hand and walked into the venue.

Oda who was warming up in the venue saw Sakuragi at a glance, and immediately ran over and said loudly, "Sakuragi, why are you here now? What time is it?"

"Ok, ok, don't get excited, it's not that it hasn't started yet, it's good to catch up. Seeing Oda's angry face, Sakuragi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.

"You..." Xiao Tian was suddenly choked speechless, and he wanted to go up and beat Sakuragi directly, but he realized that the person in front of him was Sakuragi, and Sakuragi was not an official basketball member, so he could only suppress his anger and say to Sakuragi: "Forget it, you hurry up and change your team uniform, and then prepare to warm up, the game is about to start." After saying that, he didn't care about Sakuragi, turned around and left.

Seeing Oda leave with an aggrieved face, Sakuragi helplessly spread his hands and walked to the rest area of Kazumitsu.

Araki was also relieved to see Sakuragi coming, when Sakuragi hadn't come before, it really made him a little anxious, if it wasn't for Sakuragi, they might have lost badly today.

Although today's opponent is Tomioka Junior High School, the runner-up of the summer tournament, he lost badly, which is unacceptable to Araki, and will not only affect his reputation, but also affect his status in the school. (ps:The summer meeting of the third grade of Rukawa Tomioka second.,Is it oVa or the theater version of the episode of Rukawa Junior.,It's okay if I'm wrong.,Let's set it like this.。 ）

However, although Tomioka Middle School is strong, Tomioka's strength is mainly focused on the ace of the team, Rukawa Kaede, and Araki saw Sakuragi's strength after seeing Sakuragi's strength, and it was his plan to invite Sakuragi on the spot.

In Araki's opinion, as long as Tomioka Middle School can contain Rukawa Kaede alone, it is enough for others to be afraid, because Tomioka Middle School was defeated in this way at the summer conference, so today Sakuragi is Araki's most important chess piece.

In the past few days of training, he has observed that Sakuragi is very good in terms of height, athleticism, physique, and technique, and should be able to compete with Rukawa.

And you don't need Sakuragi to really defend Rukawa, as long as you can contain it, there are players such as Oda on the field to help.

Araki's plan was perfect, he had two strong players on his side, and only one on the other side, and after one for one, he would be able to win the game.

It's just that when Sakuragi hadn't come yet, he was really a little frightened, and he was afraid that something special would happen to Sakuragi.

But fortunately, those are in the past, and when he saw Sakuragi who had already come over, Araki suddenly smiled and said to Sakuragi: "Sakuragi, you are finally here, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Araki with a smile on his face, Sakuragi's heart is still a little empty, after all, Araki is a coach, and he still has a lot of power, and looking at the folds on his smiling face, it is easy to think of whether he has any special hobbies.

So, Sakuragi could only lie to Araki and said, "Coach Araki, I'm really sorry, something went wrong on the road." So a little late. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be there in time. Araki waved his hand seemingly unconcerned, and then commanded the manager of the basketball team. "Nozawa, take Sakuragi to the locker room to change the uniform. ”

What the hell is Araki really bothering to care, after all, Sakuragi is not an official team member, and he has to rely on Sakuragi's swing today, if he criticizes him now, what if he waits for the next swing to be abnormal?

Since Araki doesn't even settle accounts. Sakuragi, of course, was happy to do the same, so he followed the basketball team manager Nozawa to the locker room.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Sakuragi saw the only team uniform hanging on the locker cabinet at a glance.

Looking at the No. 15 team uniform in front of him, Sakuragi suddenly pursed his lips. This is the first team uniform in my life? It's so ugly!

"Sakuragi-senpai, there is only the No. 15 uniform left and no one is using, please don't mind. Nozawa saw Sakuragi looking up and down at the team uniform, as if he was not too satisfied, so he carefully explained.

Sakuragi said indifferently, spreading his hands. "I don't care anyway, I'm not an official member of the basketball team, it doesn't matter what size I wear, I just don't like the color, okay, I'm going to change my clothes, you go out first, I'll go out when I change." ”

(ps: Little popular science, skip it if you know: Japanese school uniform numbers are all No. 4-15, wear numbers according to the status of the team, captain No. 4, and so on, Mitsui is a special case.) ）

"Okay, then I'll go out first. If Nozawa was released, he immediately turned around and left.

Seeing Nozawa's appearance, Sakuragi shrugged helplessly, am I that scary?

......

After Sakuragi changed his clothes, he quickly came to the venue.

Seeing Sakuragi coming, Oda said angrily: "Sakuragi, it's been 5 minutes to warm up, are you enough?"

Sakuragi, who was already shooting the ball, heard Xiao Tian's words, smiled lightly and said, "No problem, I'm a slow type, and when the game starts, there will be time for me to warm up." ”

Five minutes passed quickly.

After the warm-up, Araki gathered everyone together to lay out tactics.

Glancing at the players around him, Araki said, "Today's opponent is very strong, I won't say much about this, I think you know it too." Today, we used a regional joint defense for defense, and the four of you, Oda, Matsushima, Shiroda, and Hirosue, formed a two-two regional joint defense outside the three-second zone. ”

Speaking of this, Araki paused for a moment, looked at Sakuragi and continued: "Then, Sakuragi's task today is very important, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the opposite No. 4 one-on-one, and the opposite No. 4 is their trump card, no problem, right?"

"No problem, Rukawa Kaede, right? Don't worry, the coach knows him, although I can't say that I will definitely be able to prevent him, but I will definitely not let him have a good time. Sakuragi heard that he was defending Rukawa, and immediately said with a serious face.

Araki was a little relieved to see Sakuragi swearing so much, and then continued: "When attacking, Oda you and Sakuragi are the two main attackers, you two have a physical advantage, try to attack them inside, except for Rukawa on the opposite side, no one else can compete with you in height, Matsushima The three of you are responsible for assisting and transmitting the ball on the periphery, and you can shoot by yourself if you have a good opportunity......"

While Araki is arranging tactics, Nakai, the coach of Tomioka Middle School here, is also laying out tactics for Tomioka's players.

"Today's opponent, as you know, is Heguang Middle School. This summer, they only made it to the top 16 of the county conference, so Yiqiē still played according to the usual tactics. Nakai said flatly to his teammates.

Although he has never fought with Kazumitsu, Nakai doesn't care too much about Kazumitsu, after all, the strength of the two sides is there. They have Rukawa Kaede, the most valuable player, in their team, and it's hard to lose.

"Coach, who is that red-headed man in Wako? At this time, one of Fuqiu's team members asked.

Nakai turned his head to look at Sakuragi, and then smiled: "That red hair is their new player, I haven't heard of it before, I don't know where it came from, it may be a secret weapon found by their coach, but it looks like a good height, I was late just now, where does it look like a basketball player, you just pay a little attention." ”

After listening to the coach's explanation, Tomioka's players didn't care about Sakuragi, after all, no matter how powerful the secret weapon was, it was useless in the face of the absolute strength gap.

But at this time, Rukawa Kaede didn't see it that way, just now he noticed Sakuragi (it's hard not to pay attention to Sakuragi's type and color!), Sakuragi gives him a different feeling from ordinary people, this is an intuition that can only be had when he encounters a strong opponent, so he immediately raised his vigilance against Sakuragi in his heart.
