Sunday, May 23, 5:30 a.m., Higashi-Sakura-ku, Fujisawa City.

The sky was gray, but the street lights on both sides of the block and some izakaya that operated all night were lit, and the streets were not dark.

A figure trotted all the way from the other side of the block.

The thin T-shirt was soaked with sweat and clattered against his muscles, but the footsteps kept a fairly neat rhythm as he ran through the block until he came to a house before stopping.

Lin Dong was not in a hurry to open the courtyard door, but wiped the sweat with the towel on his shoulder, and first took off the sandbags tied to his waist and legs.

As soon as I took two 10KG and 2 5KG sandbags, I suddenly felt a sense of lightness all over my body.

The four games of the county quarterfinals will be played today and in the same gymnasium, Xiangyang and Xiangbei are the first games, so they will start at 8 o'clock in the morning, so naturally there is no time to go to the school basketball hall to train, so today is just a run to warm up.

Packed up the sandbags on his body, took out the key and opened the door, but the street lights around him suddenly dimmed.

Lin Dong subconsciously glanced back.

Only to find that the sky, which was only a little light when I went out before, had now lit up, and a faint touch of golden red was smeared on the horizon.

He smiled and let out a long exhale.

It's finally dawn.

The first ...... of the quarterfinals

Everyone in Xiangyang may have a different definition of this game.

But for me, more than two months of recovery training is for this moment.

And now the moment has finally arrived!

Lin Dong opened the door refreshed.

It doesn't matter who your opponent is, what matters is that today's match will be the starting point for you to return to the game and fight for your dreams!

Xiangbei, let's use you to test the effect of my recovery training.

Hope...... You can be stronger!

………………

When I opened the courtyard door and entered the house, I found that Lao Lin had prepared breakfast.

Lao Lin only learned yesterday that his son had a county-level competition today.

He doesn't know much about basketball, so he occasionally watches basketball games on the TV news, and he doesn't know what Xiangyang basketball club is.

Isn't this the same as saying that the book of heaven, I haven't seen this kid play since I was a child......

What I didn't expect was that the Xiangyang school team was actually the runner-up in the Kanagawa High School Basketball League last year.

That's too high...... Suddenly, it's just uncomfortable.

With such a high level, a team would want him, a son who has only been learning basketball for two months?

Lao Lin felt that it was a waste of time to send his son to learn boxing, maybe his son did have some incredible talent in basketball, after all, he grew so tall, didn't he?

"It's okay, stinky boy," Lao Lin said, and he could feel that he was even smiling with the folds on his face: "I heard that the Xiangyang basketball team is still very good, and being able to go in proves that you are very talented in basketball, from boxing to basketball, maybe you really got it right!" ”

"Fight well! By the way, don't you buy jerseys or anything for this tournament? Do I need an application fee? Do you have enough pocket money? Shall I sponsor you a little more? ”

"It's good to have multiple perks! It would be better if I could follow the Xiangyang basketball team to get some honors, and domestic schools are now beginning to value this, and maybe they can add some points when they return to China for the college entrance examination in the future...... What? If you win, can you still participate in Japan's national high school league? Is it on such a large scale? ”

"Hahaha, then when the time comes to enter the national competition, I will accompany you to Tokyo to see what I say, cheer you on the spot, take a photo or something! What? Hiroshima? Why not in Tokyo or Osaka? Oops......"

Lao Lin chattered and chattered, his face full of excitement.

Even when he was working in China before, he was also in the international department of the Bank of Communications, and he had more opportunities to contact some elites from all over the world, so compared to most parents in the Dragon Kingdom in this era, Lao Lin was still relatively enlightened in terms of education, advocating all-round development, cultivating more hobbies instead of studying hard.

Previously, he had invested a lot in his son's hobby of boxing, but he felt that everything was lost, let alone winning some awards, he had not even participated in a serious competition, and he didn't know what his level was.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than two months since he chose to play basketball this time, and he actually mixed into the varsity team of Japanese universities, and it still sounds like a very good team!

Isn't that what is talent?

Jingle bell~

A doorbell rang outside the door.

"Who's so early?" Lao Lin went over to open the door suspiciously, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a high school girl with blond hair.

"Hello Uncle Lin, I'm Yua Ishihara from Xiangyang High School, is Lin Dongjun here?" The girl was wearing the uniform of Xiangyang High School and asked politely.

Lao Lin's mouth opened into an O-shape, and it took two or three seconds to come back to his senses: "Huh? In, in! Dongzi, Lin Dong, there are classmates looking for you! ”

Lin Dong swallowed the paste and looked at it at the same time: "Okay, wait a minute, come out immediately." ”

Lao Lin stood at the door, looking at the girl named Yua Ishihara in front of him with surprise on his face.

The girl is very beautiful, with long golden curly hair and black eyes, she looks like a mixed-race, and her height is quite good, even if she is 1.75 meters tall, she can be regarded as outstanding even if she is placed in the Dragon Kingdom.

And more importantly, he has an outstanding temperament, a polite and well-behaved face, which looks like a child who can only be raised by a family with a tutor.

Oops, this stinky boy...... Oops, tsk!

Feeling Lao Lin's uncontrollable appreciation, the girl smiled shyly, and Lao Lin came back to his senses.

He slapped his head and said with a smile, "Ah! Please come in, come in, come in and sit down, kid, have you had breakfast? Why don't you have a bite to eat with us? ”

"Thank you, I've already eaten." Yua Ishihara said with a smile.

As he was talking, Lin Dong had already walked out with a basketball bag with clothes: "Let's go." ”

"Huh! What's the matter with you, kid? Why are you in such a hurry? Students won't be allowed to come in and sit down! Lao Lin hurriedly stopped.

"Next time, uncle, the game will start at eight o'clock in the morning, it's not too early now, Lin Dongjun and I will go to take the tram."

"Well, I'm not very familiar with Kanagawa's train routes, and it just so happens that Yua-senpai lives nearby and is the manager of the basketball club, so she came to take me to the gym."

Lin Dong explained a little.

But Lao Lin obviously didn't care about this explanation: "Ah, okay, okay, just live nearby?" That's good, it's all from the same school, and I must come to play at home often in the future! ”

"Okay, Uncle Lin, I'll definitely come to see you next time."

"Hahaha, good, good! You have to come, I'll make you something to eat! ”

Lin Dong felt that Lao Lin seemed to have misunderstood something, but it was better not to explain this kind of thing, seeing that Ishihara Yuya was about to answer again, he was afraid that it would be endless, so he simply opened the door: "Let's go, Lao Lin." ”

"Hey, stinky boy, wait!"

Lao Lin greeted.

Sure enough, it still can't be omitted.

Lin Dong turned around and planned to hug him with a smile.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Lao Lin who took the initiative to stretch out his fist.

"The stinky boy has really grown up...... the smile on Lao Lin's face couldn't be hidden, and he bumped his fist with Lin Dong, feeling this etiquette that he didn't actually respect and belonged to young people, and then waved his fist and said with a smile: "Come on!" ”

This is a bit of a surprise.

It's useless to say that it's useless, and a girl will solve it naturally...... Although there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding in this.

It's really good to deal with a middle-aged uncle.

Well, at least it's a happy change, and I look forward to Lao Lin continuing to maintain it.
