After Coach Anzai left the gym, the nosy Sakuragi Hanamichi took advantage of the break in training to ask Jinguji Budo about the conversation between him and Coach Anzai.
After Budo's brief explanation, through Sakuragi Hanamichi's "big speaker", Jinguji Budo's plan to travel to the United States at the end of the semester was also known to all other team members.
Hisashi Mitsui was not surprised when he heard the news. He had already anticipated Jinguji's plan to study martial arts in the United States. He is also a person who is at the top of high school basketball. Mitsui Hisashi went to the United States for exchange and study for a period of time when he was in the first grade of high school. .
After Jinguji Budo won the Aki no Kuni MVP, Mitsui Hisashi had already guessed that Jinguji Budo would one day return to the United States to see the wider world of basketball, and if nothing else, Jinguji Budo should also think about it. If he does this, he will come back in a few months.
Of course Mitsui Hisashi recognized the talent of Jinguji Martial Arts, but having seen the vast world in the United States, he still did not feel that Jinguji Martial Arts had the strength to stand on the American high school basketball scene. If it comes to playing as a substitute, Mitsui Hisashi feels that his martial arts ability is enough, but he also knows that if he just plays as a substitute, Jinguji Martial Arts will never stay there.
Other players didn't know why, and suddenly heard that Jinguji Martial Arts planned to study in the United States. They all thought that Jinguji Martial Arts could not find an opponent in the country and were preparing to pursue their dreams abroad. At the same time, they all expressed their blessings to Jinguji Martial Arts.
Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't know what it meant for a basketball player to come to the United States. He simply wanted to follow in the footsteps of Jinguji Martial Arts in the future. After learning about the Martial Arts plan to travel to the United States, he made a bold statement that he would also go to the United States to play in the future.
Generally speaking, people around them didn't show much reluctance after learning about Jinguji Martial Arts' plan. They were more of blessings, wishing Jinguji Martial Arts would have a good development.
After that, everyone quickly forgot about such a thing and devoted themselves to training. For most people, traveling to the United States is still too far away. Compared with this distant goal, it is better to be more realistic.
After the team members returned to training, Jinguji Budo did not participate in today's training. Instead, he stood on the sidelines and watched the team members' training with many thoughts.
Coach Anxi's emotions still affected him to some extent. After talking with Coach Anxi, Martial Arts was not interested in training today.
Moreover, Wu Dao was unable to fight side by side with the team members in this year's winter trials. To be honest, he still felt a little guilty. For this, Wu Dao did not know how to express his apology.
Mitsui Shou noticed that Jinguji Martial Arts seemed to have something on his mind, and left the supervision of training to Akagi, while he walked to the sidelines and came to Martial Arts' side.
"Why, you plan to go to the United States to play basketball, so you won't participate in training?"
"Do you think you are strong enough? Didn't the training in Xiangbei help you?"
Mitsui Hisashi stood next to Jinguji Martial Arts, looking at the players training on the field, and asked teasingly.
"how could be?"
"I just feel... I'm a little sorry for you. I can't participate in the winter selection. It will have a big impact on us in Xiangbei."
The winter selection competition held at the end of December will be contested by colleges and universities. In other words, it will be a competition between schools. Without Jinguji Martial Arts, Shohoku High School's strength will be greatly reduced. Under the leadership of the police, I don’t know if I can break out of Kanagawa Prefecture.
Unlike ih, there is only one qualifying spot for the winter selection, and this spot will most likely fall to Lingnan High School.
"Asshole! Are you looking down on me and Shohoku High School?!"
"Even without you, we in Xiangbei will not be easy to get along with!"
"I will lead Xiangbei into the whole country!"
Mitsui Shouyang said angrily, with a dull smile on his face when he said this.
"Really? Then you have to work hard. Lingnan High School, with Shinomiya and Sendao in charge, is quite strong."
"I'm going abroad this time, and I'll be back in about half a year. Just in time. I hope that when I come back, you can add a winter selection trophy to the honor room in northern Hunan."
Of course, Budo could tell that the purpose of Mitsui Shou's words was to tell him not to worry about Xiangbei, and he followed Mitsui Shou's words and encouraged him.
"Hey, Martial Arts, if you go to the United States, you may encounter some things."
"I want to say...no matter what you encounter, you must be determined and never give up easily."
Mitsui Hisashi apparently encountered some things during his stay in the United States. At this time, as an experienced person, he was vaccinated against martial arts.
"Don't worry, that's what the situation is, I probably know it."
Wu Dao nodded. Of course he knew what the basketball environment was like in the United States.
At this time, the God of Basketball dominates the entire league. Most of the veterans of his generation are also active on the court. The younger ones, O'Neal, have already made a big name in the league.
In two years, the golden generation of 1996 will be on the stage of history.
In the high school basketball world, the "Black Mamba" who influenced a generation is currently playing for Lower Merion High School, lurking in the abyss and ready to go.
Wu Dao has two purposes for going to the United States this time. The first is to spend money to participate in the basketball training camps of NBA famous players, hoping to attract the attention of scouts through his performance in those famous training camps. The second purpose is to Play against the masters over there and prove your talent!
Mitsui Hisashi and Budo stood on the sidelines chatting, and time passed quickly while the two chatted.
Unconsciously, the clouds in the sky turned fiery red, and the arena also became dark.
Mitsui Hisashi noticed that the sky was getting dark, looked at the time, and began to walk into the field to organize the team and announce the end of today's training. When the players heard that the training was over, they collapsed on the floor one by one, breathing heavily and taking a rest.
Several energetic players quickly packed up their belongings, said hello to their teammates and left the arena.
Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed to be busy with something. After the training, he ran away in a puff of smoke. The other team members also got up from the ground after resting for more than ten minutes, packed their things, and one after another Leave the arena.
Coach Anxi did not return to the gym until the team members finished training.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer players in the gym, Budo stretched himself and prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, Rukawa Kaede suddenly walked up to Jinguji Budo.
Rukawa Kaede stood in front of the martial arts wearing a white training suit and holding a basketball around his waist. Sweat had already soaked Rukawa Kaede's clothes. Under the sunlight, the sweat on Rukawa Kaede's arms reflected a little bit of the setting light.
"What's wrong? Rukawa Kaede."
Wu Dao raised his head slightly and found that Rukawa Kaede's eyes were staring at him at this time. Without speaking, he just stood in front of Wu Dao in a daze, blocking Wu Dao's way. The confused Wu Dao asked softly, wondering what happened to this boy.
"I want to take a look."
"What kind of player can go to the United States!"
Rukawa Kaede's words were concise and to the point. His handsome face was full of determination, and his eyes showed no signs of exhaustion, but full of fighting spirit.
"After such intense training, do you still have the energy to challenge me?"
"You kid, you are really not an ordinary person!"
When Martial Arts heard Rukawa Kaede's words, he immediately understood what Rukawa Kaede meant and laughed.
At this time, the players had almost left, and only Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori, and Kimugure Kimibu remained in the arena to pack up training equipment. At this time, Rukawa Kaede's behavior had also attracted the attention of these three people.
"Hey, Rukawa Kaede, stop making trouble."
"Martial Arts is not in a good mood today. He will not go abroad tomorrow. If you want to have a bullfight with him, it will only take two days."
Hisashi Mitsui is very considerate of Jinguji Budo's mood. Today Budo just talked to Coach Anzai about his trip to the United States. Coach Anzai left the gym directly and did not come back for the whole afternoon. Jinguji Budo, who is rarely absent in the past, I chatted with him all afternoon on the sidelines today. Even the dullest person can feel the mood of martial arts. How could he find a martial arts bullfight at this time?
Rukawa Kaede seemed not to have heard Mitsui Shou's words, and still stood in front of Martial Arts, unmoved. Just when Mitsui Shou was about to say something, Budo pressed his hand towards Mitsui Shou, indicating that the other party did not need to continue talking.
Then, Jinguji Martial Arts' eyes fell on Rukawa Kaede, and he looked at Rukawa Kaede up and down.
Today's Rukawa Kaede has changed drastically from when he first met him. His height is around 185cm, but his body shape is much stronger than when he first met him.
Martial Arts brought up Rukawa Kaede's panel and checked it for a moment. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and touched his chin with interest.
"Rukawa Kaede, height 185cm, weight 76kg, strength: junior high school S level, agility: junior high school S+ level, physical coordination: A+ level."
"Destiny: Unparalleled genius, indomitable, competitive, lone beast, eagle eye."
Rukawa Kaede's attributes are far different from his martial arts influence. The evaluation of this level is no less than the evaluation of martial arts junior high school. Of course, what Martial Arts cares about the most is Rukawa Kaede's destiny entry. In addition to the first four, Rukawa Kaede's entry also has an additional eagle eye.
Although I don't know what the use of this extra destiny entry is, martial arts speculation is that it is probably the concrete manifestation of one of Rukawa Kaede's abilities after it has reached a certain level.
The entry "Eagle Eye"...
"Well, it just so happens that I have nothing to do. Since my junior asked, I will play with you."
"Mistress, go and close the door to the arena."
"After all, if someone sees me, they will say that I bully my junior."
Budao smiled and turned around and said to Mitsui Shou. As he spoke, Budao took off his jacket and did not change his pants. He just wore long pants and walked towards the field.
Rukawa Kaede didn't speak, and followed silently, walked into the arena, and came to Martial Arts.
Seeing what Budo said, Mitsui Hisashi also sighed lightly, and then went to close the door of the arena as Budo said. Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure also stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. Silently walked to the sidelines, ready to watch the duel between these two people.
But after Wu Dao waited for Mitsui Shou to close the door and saw that he was going to sit down on the sidelines to watch the game, he greeted him again:
"Hey, mistress, stop sitting around, come on, be a referee!"
Wu Dao commanded him unceremoniously, but Mitsui Shou just rolled his eyes at Wu Dao when he heard this. Without saying anything, he went to the equipment room to get the whistle and returned to the court.
"I see you're not tired from training."
"Then take some time to practice and train you."
"100 points!"
"Whoever reaches 100 points first will win!"
"Don't say I'm bullying you. If you make a mid-range shot, you'll get 4 points, a three-pointer, and 6 points. Your score will be doubled!"
Jinguji Budo glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 6 o'clock in the evening. It was still early, and there was enough time to fight a hundred-percent battle.
When Takenori Akagi and Konobu Kigure on the sidelines heard this, their expressions changed. They thought that Budo and Rukawa Kaede would just hit a dozen balls to survive the bullfight. After all, it was just a matter of competition.
But I didn't expect that Jinguji Martial Arts would be 100% accurate as soon as he opened his mouth.
100 points! How many rounds does this take? One person has to go to the layup 50 times. In a bullfight situation, he scores 100 points. Isn't this exhausting? Although martial arts doubled Rukawa Kaede's score, Rukawa Kaede has just finished training. It doesn't take a second thought to know that Rukawa Kaede's physical fitness will never support him to hit these 100 goals.
Sure enough, Rukawa Kaede narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and did not agree immediately. Just when Akagi and others thought Rukawa Kaede would refuse, they heard Rukawa Kaede say:
"good!"
"But I don't need you to give in."
Rukawa Kaede's words surprised both Akagi and Mugure Konobu on the sidelines. They didn't know Rukawa Kaede well. But Jinguji Budo and Hisashi Mitsui in the field were not surprised. Rukawa Kaede was Takeshi's ace, and even now, he was cultivated by Shohoku as his ace.
As the future ace of Xiangbei, what can you do if you don't have a temper?
"Hahahaha! Okay."
"Have some backbone."
"Then let you kick off first. I am a senior after all, so you don't have to refuse."
Wu Dao said, walked to the top of the arc and positioned himself to defend.
And Rukawa Kaede didn't have any objections to this. For the huge total of 100 points, the difference between kicking off first and kicking off later was already quite insignificant.

"You don't need to check the ball. If you hit a three-pointer, the basketball is in your hands and you can start attacking directly."
"You're welcome, come on."
Martial Arts hooked his fingers towards Rukawa Kaede. Hearing this, Rukawa Kaede didn't show any pretense and just started to test the steps. His tentative step draws on the advantages of martial arts. It is the kind of step forward and backward that can increase his speed the moment it starts.
Martial arts didn't mean to underestimate Rukawa Kaede. He directly blocked the strong and weakened him, increasing the defensive threat on Rukawa Kaede's right side. His entire position had an obvious defensive tendency.
Sure enough, when Rukawa Kaede saw Budo's defensive method, he dropped the ball directly and rushed in from his left side, leaning directly on Jinguji Budo's body.
"I haven't had a bullfight with this kid for a long time, and my strength has improved a lot!"
Wu Dao murmured in his heart, and did not follow up immediately. Instead, he allowed Rukawa Kaede to be level with him, and then turned around to pursue him.
His defensive delay gave Rukawa Kaede the illusion that he could rush straight to the basket with his speed. Therefore, Rukawa Kaede did not see any other changes when he rushed forward. He simply started to rush forward at a faster speed, and when he reached the position near the basket, he directly Layup, trying to score directly with speed.
The same method was often used by Kaede Rukawa when playing training matches in Shohoku. None of the seniors and special recruits from the same class in Shohnan could stop him. Therefore, Rukawa Kaede is also full of confidence in his offense.
However, this level of speed is not enough in front of Jinguji Martial Arts!
Just when the basketball rose to the backboard position, Jinguji Budo's figure jumped out directly from behind Rukawa Kaede. Jinguji Budo pressed the ball lightly with his right hand and directly pressed the ball on the backboard, and then with a right hand Hook, hold the ball in your wrist, and quickly put it in your arms.
The whole shot-blocking action seemed relaxed and comfortable, and even when he took off, he didn't make any big noise.
Rukawa Kaede turned around in shock when he saw this scene, looking at Jinguji Martial Arts in disbelief.
"Boy, isn't this a layup looking for a cover?"
"I am different from the opponents you have encountered before. You should know this very well."
"Don't you want to know what kind of players can travel to the United States? With a bounce like mine, the United States can get a hundred and eighty players, and there will be no problem at all."
