Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just entered Shohoku High School, originally wanted to have a good chat with Haruko to enhance their relationship, but Takenori Akagi grabbed the back of the neck and sneaked to the third-grade classroom to fill out the application for joining the basketball club. .
When Haruko saw her own Sakuragi being carried away by her brother, her eyes turned into two crescent moons with laughter.
It is the first day of school. On this day, the school does not officially hold classes. The main task today is to distribute books to students. At the same time, senior students will organize recruitment activities for clubs.
Therefore, the open space in the campus was filled, and the corridors were crowded with senior students who came to recruit new club members.
As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi came to school, he was taken away by Takenori Akagi. He did not appreciate the enthusiasm of the seniors. However, Nango Koichiro, Rukawa Kaede and others who arrived in Shohoku after Sakuragi had a good feel of the enthusiasm of the seniors. .
Rukawa Kaede, who didn't like this lively atmosphere, went to the basketball club early to fill out an application for joining the club. Then, Rukawa Kaede, who was bored, went to the rooftop of Shohoku and fell asleep.
As for Nango Koichiro, he likes the feeling of being noticed very much. Although he has no idea of joining other clubs, the senior sister in the photography club is very beautiful and interesting in talking. He likes to learn from her very much. Sister discusses photography techniques.
Kiyota Nobunaga, who was the last of the Shohoku reserve troops to arrive at the school, was the most normal among them. After filling out the application form, he stayed in the classroom obediently, chatting with the classmates around him, and spoke with a very Integrating into new groups at a fast pace.
On the first day of school, Hisashi Mitsui came to the school early. Unlike previous years, Shohoku High School, which performed well in the IH and winter trials last year, naturally attracted many young people with championship dreams. .
Moreover, Xiangbei High School is a public school, so it will be much easier to apply. Therefore, this year, the Shohoku High School Basketball Club received many more applications than in previous years.
As the captain, Hisashi Mitsui finally no longer has to be like the presidents of those unpopular clubs, holding a handmade poster, yelling hard in the corridor, and pulling people into the club.
This year, he can stay in the temporarily vacated sports equipment room and wait for the application forms to be submitted to him.
Even though Coach Anzai is the coach of the basketball department, there is no need for him to intervene in recruiting new students.
In the equipment room, Mitsui Touhan frowned as he looked at the application forms that had been submitted to him.
It is true that the Xiangbei Basketball Club is the most popular club in the entire school this year, but there are too many students who want to join the basketball club, and the quality is uneven.
Xiangbei High School is a large public school with almost 1,000 students in a year, and the male to female ratio is close to 1:1. So far, Mitsui Hisashi has received more than 20 applications for joining the club, which was only half an hour after he came to school.
If this trend continues, there may be hundreds of freshmen applying to join the club this year.
Don't blindly think that this is a good thing. For the basketball department, hundreds of freshmen are actually quite a burden, because there is only one venue in the arena and cannot accommodate so many people for training. After all, Shohoku is a public school. Although Shohoku ranks among the powerful due to the existence of students from the Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo classes, in terms of foundation, Shohoku still has no way to compare with those private schools.
Take Xiangyang for example. Although there are only a dozen players on the main roster, their basketball team has hundreds of players. It’s hard to imagine how the coach has to take care of so many players during their normal training.
The player base has become huge, which means that individual players have fewer opportunities to receive direct guidance from coaches.
Looking at the more than 20-point application for joining the ministry in his hand, Mitsui Hisashi found the application form of Sakuragi Hanamichi and others and put it in the drawer. Then he dragged his chin and began to think.
If Shohoku was a private school, Mitsui Hisuda could screen out some of them with a wave of his hand, but they are a public school, and in principle, they cannot reject applications from new students.
"Oh, why didn't I see you in the classroom?"
"It turns out the cat is here."
"What's wrong? Mistress, you look sad, is she broken in love?"
At this moment, the light at the door of the equipment room was blocked by someone. Mitsui Hisashi raised his head and looked towards the door. He saw Jinguji Budo wearing a white sweatshirt, leaning against the door, smiling and looking at Hisashi Mitsui.
"Martial Arts?!"
Mitsui Shou saw Jinguji Martial Arts and stood up from his seat happily. He walked in front of Martial Arts in three steps and then punched Martial Arts in the chest.
"I've grown taller and stronger! My skin is still so fair. Does your kid not play outdoors in the United States?"
"By the way, how tall are you now?"
Mitsui Hisashi's height has now reached 192cm, but standing in front of Jinguji Budo, he is still a little shorter, and the door height of the equipment room is far from reaching Budo's head. If the martial artist stands straight, the door frame can only reach the martial artist's neck at most.
"I took a special physical test before coming here. My height is 201cm and my weight is 94kg."
"What? Ask me this, do you want me to play center instead, so that you can usurp the position?"
The martial arts return punch lightly hit Mitsui Shou's chest, and he said with a smile. It's been a long time since I've seen Mitsui Shou, and the current Mitsui really surprised Martial Arts.
He had a clear understanding of his height. At this time, Mitsui Hisashi was standing in front of him. With a simple visual inspection, Budo could tell that Mitsui Hisashi's height was over 190cm. In my memories of martial arts, Hisashi Mitsui was only 184cm tall when he was in his senior year of high school. Compared with now, the height is not even the slightest bit worse.
It seems that Mitsui Hisashi, who has no gap period, has not only kept up with his skills and physical fitness, but his physical fitness has also been greatly improved.
For Mitsui Hisashi like this, let alone entering a good university, it is a certainty that he will enter a career in the future. Of course, the premise is that there are no injuries.
"What the hell is usurping the throne?!"
"I am the captain of Xiangbei!"
After Mitsui Shou finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and continued: "Speaking of which, when did you come back? Why is there no news at all?"
"I could have picked you up."
After hearing this, Budo stood up straight, glanced at the application forms on Mitsui Kotobuki's desk, and replied:
"It's been a few days. I had diarrhea for a few days after I came back. I only recovered in the past two days."
"Are those application forms for this year's new students on your desk the same thing?"
"That's all for a while, there should be more in the future, right? Do you plan to recruit them all?"
Budo put his arm around Mitsui Shou's shoulders and focused on the application forms for joining the club. Compared to catching up with his mistress, Budo was more interested in these new students.
He returned to Xiangbei with the intention of bringing his high school basketball career to a successful conclusion.
"By the way, it can be predicted that there will be a lot of freshmen in this class. My idea is to recruit them first and then use the elimination system to select the players."
"But... Xiangbei is a public school. It's okay to eliminate one or two, but dozens or hundreds... I'm afraid even Coach Anzai can't do it."
Mitsui Shou shook his head in distress, having no idea in his mind.
"There is no need to eliminate dozens or hundreds."
"You can refer to what the United States does and divide it into teams one, two, and three."
"Players of different levels train in teams of different levels. During normal training, some third-year students can be used as coaches to supervise basic training."
"The initial hierarchical screening is a bit troublesome, but if we can form a routine later, it will be easy to operate."
"But you can't decide this kind of thing alone. You'd better discuss it with the coach."
Budao patted Mitsui on the shoulder and suggested. After hearing this idea, Mitsui Shou nodded slightly. The martial arts method is relatively complicated in the early stage, but as long as it is operated properly, the venue problem can be solved. After all, if you are in the third team, you can practice your basics on the playground.
Moreover, this method can create some competition within the team, and reasonable competition will help the team become stronger.
"You're right. I'll go find Coach Anxi to discuss it. Have you met the coach when you came back? Although Coach Anxi doesn't usually talk about it, he still misses you very much."
Wu Dao nodded when he heard this: "Of course, the first thing I do when I come back is to find Coach Anxi."
"Go ahead. I won't go with you. I just came to see you. I'll come back when the team gathers in the afternoon."
"I'm leaving."
As he spoke, Budo waved to Mitsui Shou and left the equipment room. After meeting Mitsui Hisashi, Budo did not intend to greet the other team members and went back to the classroom by himself.
However, the news of the return of martial arts reached the ears of some basketball team members through the mouth of Mitsui Shou. Through the mouths of these people, the news of the return of martial arts naturally spread throughout the school.
】
Suddenly, the corridor outside the martial arts classroom was filled with curious freshmen. A large group of people blocked the corridor of the classroom, and Sakuragi and others who originally wanted to come to greet the martial arts were forced to give up.
"Hoo~"
"The popularity of martial arts seniors is really terrible. It's impossible to squeeze in."
"Forget it, let's meet the team and say hello to the martial arts senior. By the way, let him see my new trick!"
Kiyota Nobunaga was unable to get into the crowd, so he could only stand on the periphery of the crowd and sigh.
"Hey, classmate, why are there so many people here?"
"What club is recruiting people?"
Just when Kiyota Nobunaga was about to leave, a tall figure grabbed his wrist. Kiyota Nobunaga turned around and saw a tall young man about 185cm tall, holding a young and beautiful girl with long black hair. , blocking his way.
Qingtian felt a little uncomfortable when he was pulled away, and his tone of voice was also a little worse:
"Don't you know? Have you ever heard of Jinguji Martial Arts? The ace of the Shohoku High School basketball team!"
"These people are all fans of martial arts seniors who want to see him."
Kiyota Nobunaga narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young man in front of him, wondering where he came from.
"Jinguji Martial Arts? Of course I've heard of it! Is there Jinguji Martial Arts in it?"
"Great, I made the right choice to come to Xiangbei!"
Oda Ryumasa was excited when he heard this, and couldn't help but tighten his hand holding Ye Zi.
"Yes! That's great, Xiaoda. In Xiangbei, you will definitely be able to realize your dream of dominating the country."
Seeing Oda Ryuzheng's excited look, Ye Zi felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes! With players of Jinguji Martial Arts' caliber as my assistant, I will definitely be able to win the national championship."
Oda Ryumasa said excitedly, full of expectations for his future life in the basketball club.
At first, Kiyota Nobunaga couldn't say he liked or disliked Oda Ryumasa and Ye Zi. He was just a little unhappy at being pulled by Oda at the beginning.
But when he heard Oda Ryumasa's words, Kiyota Nobunaga's eyelids jumped. He couldn't believe that he would hear the words "Jinguji Martial Arts" and "Fuzuo" from other people's mouths. . At this time, seeing the excitement on Oda Ryumasa's face, and having no intention of taking Jinguji Martial Arts seriously, he immediately exploded.
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?!"
"From what you say, you must be a freshman in high school too! No wonder I haven't seen you."
"You actually brazenly said that you would be assisted by a martial arts senior? Didn't you understand your position clearly?"
"In Xiangbei, the martial arts senior was the absolute ace at that time! No one can shake his status!"
"Assist you? You are not even qualified to assist Zuo's martial arts seniors!"
"Remember, my name is Kiyota Nobunaga! I am a man who wants to be the arm of a martial arts senior. I will never allow anyone to insult him!"
"I want to duel with you!"
Kiyota Nobunaga spoke like a machine gun, with passionate emotions and a loud voice. This made the students who were originally blocking the road turn back curiously and look at Kiyota, Oda and others.
"Duel? Are they going to duel?"
"Quick, quick, there's something good to watch here!"
Following the shouts of several entertainers, many people began to gather around Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa, ready to watch the show.
Seeing more and more classmates gathering around her, Ye Zi felt a little uneasy. She vaguely felt that her boyfriend seemed to have said something that she shouldn't have said. While thinking, Ye Zi carefully pulled the corner of Oda Ryumasa's clothes, but at this time, Oda Ryumasa had no intention of caring about Ye Zi's thoughts.
As an adolescent man, how could he back down when he met someone who wanted to duel him in front of his girlfriend?
"duel?!"
"You said you wanted to duel?"
"Listening to what you said, you must also be a basketball player, right?!"
"I accept your challenge! Let basketball speak!"
Oda Ryumasa shook off Ye Zi's hand, took a step forward and agreed directly. Kiyota Nobunaga didn't talk nonsense when he saw this. He pointed towards the arena and took the lead in moving towards the arena. Upon seeing this, Oda Ryumasa ignored Ye Zi's obstruction and directly followed Kiyota Nobunaga, and behind them, the students who were doing good things also followed in a hurry.
In an instant, the corridor in front of the Jinguji martial arts classroom was cleared.
"What happened?" The students outside the classroom dispersed. Of course, the martial arts in the classroom noticed it immediately, and they were also a little curious. They stopped a student who was walking towards the arena. After getting a general understanding, He also walked towards the arena with a smile. Of course, you can't miss something like watching the excitement.
A large group of people surrounded Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa as they walked towards the arena. The huge team attracted many good-hearted students along the way.
Hisashi Mitsui, who was in the equipment room, received a tip from his classmates and learned that Nobunaga Kiyota was actually preparing to duel with a freshman. Although he was speechless, he opened the door to the gymnasium early and let people in.
Not long after, Kiyota Nobunaga and Oda Ryumasa arrived at the arena. At the same time, a crowd of spectators also poured into the arena. Hisashi Mitsui squeezed among the audience, looked towards the stadium, and saw Oda Ryumasa who was standing opposite Kiyota Nobunaga.
He touched his chin, showing some interest.
"He is of good height... Judging from his muscle condition, he must have been exercising regularly."
"New students..."
Seeing that Ye Zi could not stop Oda Ryumasa, he could only stand on the sidelines, watching Oda Ryumasa silently, praying in his heart that Oda Ryumasa would not lose.
"Hello!"
"Who is that? Do you understand Bullfighting?"
"One-on-one, I will give you 100 points!
! "
Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi and others who were present at the time did not hide the fact that Jinguji Budo had a private bullfight with Rukawa Kaede with 100 points. Kiyota Nobunaga gloated for a long time when he learned that Rukawa Kaede had been taught a lesson by Jinguji Martial Arts. Today, he met a blind guy like Oda Ryuumasa. He planned to use Jinguji Martial Arts to teach the man in front of him a lesson.
"100?!"
"good!"
Oda Ryumasa was a little hesitant when he heard the score of 100, but looking at such a large group of students around him, he immediately agreed. He really didn't believe that he couldn't beat the boy in front of him who was less than 180cm tall!
