The sunshine in the summer evening becomes warm, and the evening breeze blows on people's bodies, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
"clang!"
"Uh-huh!"
Under the setting sun, two basketballs flew towards the basket one after another. One hit the edge of the frame and flew towards the sidelines. The other hollowed out directly into the net, making a crisp sound as the net was brushed.
Rukawa Kaede jogged a few steps, caught the flying basketball, clapped his hands, and threw the ball again. This time, the basketball accurately entered the frame.
"Huh!" Rukawa Kaede breathed a sigh of relief, touched the sweat on his forehead, turned his head and looked at the boy who was walking towards the basket to pick up the ball, and couldn't help but ask:
"So, you're suspended? And for three years?"
"Then you won't be able to participate in the county competition until your second year of high school?"
At this time, the person playing with Rukawa Kaede at the park court was Jinguji Budo who had returned from Tokyo. It only took three days from the time Mitsui was injured and admitted to the hospital until Mitsui fully recovered and was discharged.
After that, everyone from Takeishi Middle School got on the train back to Kanagawa Prefecture. After returning to Kanagawa, martial arts life returned to its former peace. The daily routine consisted of attending classes, practicing judo, and playing ball.
Today is Sunday, and there is no training in school. Even Shinichi Fujima gave Budo a day off and asked him to go and train in the evening. Budo, who had nothing to do, took a basketball to the court near his home to play in the afternoon. I haven't seen Rukawa Kaede for many days.
What Jinguji Martial Arts did in the national competition caused quite a stir. Almost everyone who paid attention to the national competition basically knew about this matter. After all, they issued a notice to criticize and banned the competition. Martial arts is a rare event in the history of the whole country. of suspended players.
Of course young people like Rukawa Kaede, who are devoted to basketball, have heard about it. Although he is not the kind of gossip, the martial arts incident has caused quite a fuss. The coach of their school has warned these players about martial arts. After meeting the protagonist of the martial arts incident, even Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but curiously asked.
"Second year in high school? Not really. I asked our coach to ask about the suspension. Although it is said to be for three years, it only bans me from participating in junior high school."
"It won't matter when you get to high school."
Wu Dao walked to the basket and picked up the basketball. He made a hook and the basketball hit the board and hit the net with a soft sound.
"You can't even participate in the county competition at the junior high school level...the punishment is very severe."
"So are you still on Takeshi's basketball team? If you can't participate in the game, are you ready to continue playing basketball?"
Facing martial arts, Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but talk more and asked curiously.
"Of course, playing is playing, and suspension is suspension. This does not affect my continued playing."
"As for the basketball department, my original intention is to stay in the basketball department, and the coach also hopes that I will stay and play in the basketball department."
"But I have other plans now."
Budo caught the basketball, dribbled to the free throw line, adjusted his posture, and threw the ball.
"Other arrangements?" Rukawa Feng looked confused and a little confused.
"Yes, my master asked me to join Takeshi's judo club, and I agreed."
As Wu Dao watched the basketball go into the net, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Judo club?" Rukawa Kaede tilted his head and turned to look at the stone bench beside the court. There, there were two sets of clothes tied into a square package, one white and one basket, which were two sets of judo uniforms.
"Yeah, Judo Club."
"I have a judo master, and he also knows about my suspension. Since basketball can't participate in the competition, I will join the judo club and take advantage of this opportunity to compete with others and learn."
The setting sun shone on Wu Dao's face, and he showed a bright smile with his face flushed.
"You have been suspended, can you still participate in judo competitions? I remember the suspension, it should be banned for all sports, right?"
Rukawa Kaede was a little confused and asked in confusion.
"No, it's just a basketball game."
"It's no problem to participate in judo competition."
Wu Dao walked to the basket, picked up the basketball, and after completing a hook shot, he took the basketball and walked back to the free throw line again, and continued:
"I am now a double major in basketball and judo."
"At this stage, I'm mainly focusing on judo. I won't miss out on daily training in basketball. You don't have to worry. I will come here to practice with you when I have time."
"Boy, you have to be prepared, I will grow very fast during this period!"
Wu Dao said with a smile that after returning from the national competition, Wu Dao found that his food intake began to increase, and the recovery time required after training was also greatly shortened. Even when I saw a young and beautiful girl in physical education class a few days ago, there was an uncontrollable change in my heart.
There are many signs that martial arts seems to be entering puberty. When boys enter puberty, their physical development will usher in a period of rapid development. Generally speaking, the development of boys starts between the ages of 11 and 15, and will generally end before the age of 18. As the old saying goes, the height jump at the age of 20 is a very small group of people.
Most people will have completely completed their growth before entering high school. A few people can grow a few centimeters after entering high school, but those are also a small number of people who develop late.
This situation in martial arts is the most normal situation. It is precisely for this reason that martial arts decided to focus on judo training at this stage.
Basketball training and judo training still have quite a lot in common. When practicing judo, the most important things to practice are skills, reactions, endurance, explosion and technology. In basketball, apart from skills, basic training focuses on explosion, strength, endurance and jumping.
Compared with the basic training of judo, the basic training of basketball is more harmful to the knees. For people in the developmental stage, the most important thing is ball training and lazy training.
Therefore, Budo has also made a plan for his current situation. Apart from dribbling and shooting, he will put aside other training items for basketball training, and devote the rest of his time to judo training.
Shinichi Fujima developed special judo training based on the current development of martial arts, and adjusted the martial arts diet. When the exercise intensity is high enough, martial arts will not add unnecessary training to himself, so the number of basketball training items will be reduced. , is also essential.
Rukawa Kaede obviously doesn't know what Budo means by "growing very fast". He simply doesn't know that there is such a thing yet.
After listening to Martial Arts' words, Rukawa Kaede just nodded silently, and then continued his practice.
Budo and Rukawa Kaede don't have much communication, but they seem to have a good understanding when practicing. They pass each other's passes during practice and correct each other's shooting postures. They don't need to be reminded by the other, they just do it naturally. It was done.
"Rukawa Kaede, we Takeshi are in short supply of players like you right now."
"If the basketball team only relies on Mitsui now, it will be questionable whether it can break into the All-China League next year."
"Although I haven't been able to participate in basketball games in the past few years, I still hope that our team's results can be better."
"Your personal abilities are very strong. Currently, there is no suitable place for you to display them in the junior high schools in the county."
"Come to our Wushi Middle School when you are in junior high school. The coach of our school is a former national player. As long as you want to become stronger, no school is more suitable for you than Wushi."
"Although I join the judo club, I will occasionally go to the basketball club's training. I'm still looking forward to playing with you."
The sun was setting in the west, and before I knew it, the sky had darkened. Budao looked at the sky and prepared to leave the stadium and go to Fujima's family. Before leaving, Budao said to Rukawa Kaede.
I also have some idea of what kind of martial arts school Fuqiu Middle School is. In terms of player training, Takeishi Middle School is more systematic than Fuqiu Middle School.
Rukawa Kaede is a person who focuses on basketball. For him, getting stronger is more important than anything else. Today's Takeishi Middle School is more suitable for Rukawa Kaede than Tomigaoka.
Of course, in addition, martial arts also have some selfish motives. Although he joined Takeshi's basketball club not long ago, he already has feelings for the basketball club. He also wants to strengthen Takeshi. Within the scope of martial arts' abilities, he persuades Rukawa When Feng entered Wu Shi, Wu Dao had done his best.
"Well, I'll think about it!"
Rukawa Kaede nodded, then stopped looking at martial arts and continued practicing on his own. Budo smiled, then picked up his judo uniform with his right hand, slapped the basketball with his right hand, and left the court.
....
"Drink!"
In the dojo of Shin Fujima's family, a loud shout came out from the dojo.
In the center of the dojo, Jinguji Budo was wearing a blue judo uniform, grabbing Shinichi Fujima's belt with both hands, and exerting force with a ferocious face. And Fujima Shinichi, who was standing in front of him, just bent down slightly and grabbed the collar of Budo with both hands. He still remained firm and motionless no matter how hard Budo exerted himself.
The martial artist who failed in the struggle quickly changed his moves, dwarfed his body, hooked his right foot directly on Fujima Shinichi's heel, and pushed forward with all his strength. Although Fujima Shinichi quickly broke away from the shackles of martial arts and stabilized his body, he was still taken aback by the sudden change of martial arts.
Then he no longer held back his hands. When Wu Dao's center of gravity was on the right side, he stepped forward, turned around, and moved into his hips. He directly tripped Wu Dao's right foot and knocked Wu Dao to the ground with a body fall. "Bang." "There was a soft sound.
Jinguji Budo's judo training began to get on track. In addition to regular basic training, Fujima Shinichi began to teach the real judo techniques of martial arts.
In the study of judo, Jinguji Martial Arts has shown quite terrifying learning and comprehension abilities. In just a few months, Martial Arts' judo skills have been greatly improved. The powerful learning talent made Fujima Shinichi sigh with emotion. The talent in martial arts is really worthy of the name of martial arts.
Although martial arts is still far from Fujima Shinichi's opponent, that does not mean that martial arts is weak. On the contrary, the current martial arts is already quite good at a technical level. What is lacking is just strength and experience.
"Come again!" Budo, who was thrown to the ground by Shinichi Fujima, rolled over and quickly got up. Shinichi Fujima's strikes were very measured, and martial arts had "magic skills" to protect his body, so he would not be injured at all.
Even if I get knocked over, I can get up immediately and get back to training again.
Shinichi Fujima is actually very satisfied with his disciple of martial arts. No matter how hard he throws the opponent, the opponent will never complain. Moreover, the will to fight in martial arts is quite strong. The more he throws, the stronger he gets. This is what makes Shinichi Fujima most gratified. .
When learning Judo, it is possible to learn the essence only if you are not afraid of hardship or tiredness.
"Okay! Not bad!"
"Come!"
Fujima Shinichi bowed slightly, shouted loudly, and accepted the challenge of martial arts.
....
A fulfilling life often makes time pass by inadvertently.
A year is just a blink of an eye for busy people.
April is another day when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Takeishi Middle School in Kanagawa Prefecture welcomes another batch of new students today.
"President!"
"Hello, President!"
In Wushi Middle School, in a dojo near the teaching building, the members' greetings echoed in the dojo as a young man walked in.
The young man who walked into the dojo was very tall. Although he was wearing a loose judo uniform, he could still see his solid figure. The young man had short bangs, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a heroic appearance. After walking barefoot into the dojo, he nodded slightly towards the crowd, full of majesty.
The boy who walked into the dojo at this time was none other than Jinguji Martial Arts.
A year ago, he quit the basketball club and joined the judo club. After entering the judo club, he quickly established his foothold with his own strength. In the winter of last year, he elected the previous president and became the most popular member of the judo club. The strong person was also appointed as the vice president by the coach.
After the third-year club president entered school this year, the position of president and commander of the judo club fell into the hands of martial arts.
"Jinguji Martial Arts, height 190cm, weight 77kg, strength: junior high school level B+, agility: junior high school level A+, physical coordination: level A."
"Destiny: It's ordinary, but the original intention is eternal."
"Daily tasks."
"Please complete 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run 10KM before 00.00 at night."
"Task reward: Strain recovery potion! (Eliminate fatigue and feel relaxed!)"
"Martial Arts: Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt (specialized in defeating the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms), level 1."
This year, martial arts training has not slackened for a moment. Both strength and agility have made great progress. However, the most strange thing about martial arts is his martial arts. After learning judo for a year, there is always only one martial arts. Iron cloth shirt with golden bell cover. And after such a long time, the system has not undergone any major changes.
The judo club is much simpler than other clubs. As long as you are strong enough, you will have status. The rules of the junior high school judo competition are also quite simple, with a best-of-five round system and no distinction in levels.
Student sports are not like the Olympic Games in later generations, where you are divided into weight classes. The student judo competitions of this era are indiscriminate confrontation. Sometimes on the playing field, you can even see "adults versus children".
In the judo event, the strongest junior high school team is in Tokyo, and Takeishi Junior High School in Kanagawa Prefecture is also a frequent visitor to previous national competitions.
As the second-year president of the Takeishi Middle School Judo Club, it can be seen how powerful martial arts is.
"Today is the day for new students to enroll. How are you doing with the preparations for enrollment?"
"Is anyone here to sign up?"
At the beginning of the school season, school courses have not officially started yet. The most important thing for new students to enroll today is to divide into classes and sign up to join clubs.
The coach of the judo club delegated this matter to the students themselves. As the president of the club, Jinguji Budo, of course, subcontracted the tasks to the club members and asked them to recruit students. He was only responsible for the subsequent selection and review. work. Of course, the coach has veto power, but this basic task is left to martial arts.
It is said to be an examination and selection, but in fact it is nothing more than bringing the registered students to the dojo. As for club activities, as long as you are interested in this area, you can come.
"President, it's still early. How can any new student be so early~"
"We plan to go there in a while."
The speaker was a tall boy, standing in front of Wu Dao, only reaching Wu Dao's chest.
"Really? Then I'll go there with you later. It just so happens that a friend of mine is also coming to Wushi Middle School. I'm going to see which class he is in."
Wu Dao nodded when he heard this, and when he talked about that friend, a smile couldn't help but appear on his serious face.
"Friend, the president's friend? Are you in the first grade? Which elementary school leader?" the tall boy asked in surprise, with curiosity in his eyes.
"I'm from the basketball club, not judo."
Budao smiled and replied.
....
At the gate of Takeishi Middle School, Rukawa Kaede enjoyed the spring sunshine and slowly parked his bicycle at the gate of the school.
Looking at the "Wushi Middle School" sign outside the school, Rukawa Kaede showed a faint smile on his handsome and cold face.
