"I think it's getting late today. This classmate from Lingnan, do you want to go home early? Don't let your family worry!"
Mitsui Hisashi issued an order to expel guests. Although his tone was rather tactful, Aitahiko understood Mitsui Hisashi's meaning in an instant. He secretly touched the notebook stuffed inside his clothes, and immediately bowed deeply to Mitsui Hisashi and said:
"Senior Mitsui, you are right, it is getting late, and I do have to go back!"
"Then I won't bother you!"
As soon as Aida Hiko finished speaking, he waved to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and then walked quickly towards the door of the arena. However, when he just reached the door, Mitsui Hisashi stopped him:
"etc!"
Aida Hiko, who was suddenly stopped by Mitsui Shou, straightened his back consciously, slowly turned his head to look at Mitsui Shou, and asked with a trembling voice: "Mitsui-senpai...is there anything else?"
"You said you are from Lingnan, right?"
"A message to Shinomiya Tiandou and Xiandao, this year, we in Xiangbei will definitely dominate the country!"
After Mitsui Hisashi said to Aida Hikoichi, he ignored Aida Hikoichi, went to the sidelines to get a basketball, and walked back to the court.
Aida Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and hurriedly left the basketball hall.
The Xiangbei campus seems unusually deserted at night.
After Aida Hikoichi left the arena and walked for a short distance, he stopped under a streetlight. He looked around and saw no one was around. He took out his notebook from the clothes on his back and, with the help of Under the dim light, I flipped through my notebook.
When he was at the Shohoku Arena, he observed Rukawa Kaede's training, and also saw the duel between Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Although the two people technically only played two goals, Aida Hiko One can still see a lot of things from it.
Although he has just entered high school this year, he has been playing basketball for many years. He also likes watching games and recording, and is good at discovering problems that others easily overlook from small things.
"Rukawa Kaede's shooting points are very scattered. Whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, there are many shots during training."
"The offense tends to be from the right side, with a strong side hand, so during training, I will inadvertently take a lot of shots in the right half."
"If you want to defend Rukawa Kaede-san, you need to pay more attention to his offense in the right half!"
Aida Yan looked carefully at the Rukawa Kaede projection point map he had recorded, and found that there were obviously more marks in the right half than in the left half. He came to a conclusion in his mind, and then added a few more strokes in his notebook.
After memorizing it, turn the page.
"Sakuragi Hanamichi-kun...is called the future star of Shohoku."
"He is a player who needs to pay close attention to!"
"Bouncing, staying in the air, and height are all excellent, and the breakthrough speed is also very fast... I am really envious of a player with such physical fitness!"
Aida Hikoichi briefly recalled the scene of the bullfight between Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi just now in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh.
Aida Hikoichi, a first-year high school student, is only 165cm tall. He cannot understand the scenery that a tall person like Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is about 190cm tall, can understand.
But after a brief sigh of relief, Aida Yanichi wrote down a note in his notebook: "I doubt that I have the ability to project."
After finishing writing, Aida Hikoichi closed the notebook, put the pen into the bag in his arms, rolled the notebook into a tube, inserted it into his trouser pocket, and hurriedly left the Shohoku campus.
...
In the gymnasium of Shohoku High School, the bullfight between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede was stopped by Mitsui Hisashi, and then Rukawa Kaede devoted himself to his training. As for Sakuragi Hanamichi, although he took the equipment at the request of Mitsui Hisashi. He was training in the gym, but when practicing his steps, he still looked absent-minded.
It seems that compared to Rukawa Kaede, he wants to continue the bullfight just now.
After practicing his steps for a while, Sakuragi couldn't calm down after all, so he took the basketball to another court, and here, Mitsui Hisashi was practicing emergency three-pointers after traveling at high speed.
"Uh-huh!"
After the soft sound of the basketball net, Mitsui Hisashi, who was just about to pick up the ball, saw Sakuragi Hanamichi's figure and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi strangely.
"What are you doing, Sakuragi?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi held the ball in one hand and lowered his head slightly, looking like he was thinking. When he heard Mitsui Shou's question, Sakuragi Hanamichi raised his head and said:
"Mistress, do me a favor?"
After Mitsui Shou heard this, he nodded directly: "Tell me, what kind of help."
"Guard me!"
...
As the night progressed, the gymnasium where Shohoku High School pressed was opened. Sakuragi Hanamichi had already changed his clothes and left the gym humming a tune. Not long after Sakuragi Hanamichi left, Mitsui Hisashi stood at the door wearing a sports suit, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi disappearing into the night, and sighed:
"This kid... his talent is really terrifying!"
"You are obviously about the same height as me, but you can jump so high and stay in the air for so long!"
"We in Xiangbei have another unsolvable weapon!"
Mitsui Hisashi sighed with emotion, and when he turned around to go back to the arena to change clothes, he found that Rukawa Kaede had also stopped training, changed clothes, and stood behind him, also looking at the position where Sakuragi Hanamichi left.
"Rukawa Kaede, are you ready to go back too?"
Mitsui Shou saw Rukawa Kaede and asked with a smile.
"ah!"
Rukawa Kaede nodded and confirmed. Just as Mitsui Hisashi walked towards the arena, Rukawa Kaede suddenly asked:
"Captain, do you think I can become a stronger person than Jinguji-senpai?"
Mitsui Shou stopped when he heard this. It seemed that Rukawa Kaede was still bitter about losing to Jinguji Martial Arts, and he was still not relieved.
"have no idea!"
"I only know that what the players have to do is to do the things in front of them well!"
"As for the future, it's not something we can decide!"
"Train hard and you may one day surpass him, but if you don't practice, you will never surpass him!"
"Isn't it obvious?"
After Mitsui Shou finished speaking, he walked towards the arena. Hearing this, Rukawa Kaede nodded slightly and walked out of the arena.
In the dark night, the spotlight in the Xiangbei Basketball Stadium went out.
The moonlight fell on the ground, reflecting the shadows of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, and Mitsui Hisashi.
...
The academic work of Neon high school students is actually very heavy, but fortunately, besides the heavy academic work, there are also a variety of club activities.
For students like Sakuragi Hanamichi who don't like studying, club activities are all he does during school days. As for classes? That's not as good as sleeping.
However, there are still only a small number of students who have no future like Sakuragi. For most people, club sports are just a diversion.
Just like the first-year students who joined Shohoku High School this year and were assigned to the third team.
Coach Anxi doesn't spend too much thought on these players at all, and the training tasks assigned are all basic dribbling and physical fitness. Let the strong energy of these high school students be properly consumed.
】
As for the players in the second team, Coach Anxi is only a little concerned about them. After all, some of the players in the second team will become the mainstay of Shohoku High School in the future.
As for the main players, they are the ones that Coach Anzai takes care of. For example, Hisashi Mitsui and Takenori Akagi, who are now in their third year of high school, are the ones coach Anzai provides guidance on.
Today's coach Anxi is not the kind of person who just throws his hands away and puts himself in the closet. For talented regular players, coach Anxi is willing to spend a lot of time and energy to develop personal training plans for the players to help their growth.
Even though this semester has just started, Coach Anzai is already contacting some college coaches he knew before for players such as Hisashi Mitsui and Akagi. I hope Mitsui Hisashi and others can still go smoothly on the path of university after high school.
No, today Coach Anzai invited the coach from Tsukuba University to visit Shohoku High School.
The coach of the University of Tsukuba is named Aso Kenta. He is an old man about 60 years old. Although he is similar in age to Coach Anzai, he looks much younger than Coach Anzai. He has a straight back and combed hair. Meticulous and meticulous, he feels more like a middle-aged man in his 40s.
Kenta Aso was Coach Anzai's junior when he was playing in the national team. The relationship between the two was also very good. Coach Anzai retired and went to coach at the university. Not many years later, Kenta Aso also retired due to injury and went to He became an assistant coach of the basketball team at the University of Tsukuba.
After so many years, Coach Anzai resigned from his position as a college coach because of Tanizawa and returned to his hometown to teach at Shohoku High School. Aso Kenta has already become the head coach of the University of Tsukuba.
In recent years, the University of Tsukuba team's performance has been quite outstanding. In the world of college basketball, it is also one of the best teams nationwide.
Today I agreed to coach Anxi to visit Shohoku. The main purpose is actually to see what coach Anxi said, the super first grader who returned from the United States.
By the way, let's see if there are any good prospects in Xiangbei and look for new talents for the team.
However, Kenta Aso probably did not expect that Coach Anzai used the pretense of Jinguji Martial Arts to attract him. The purpose was not to push Jinguji Martial Arts to university. The fundamental purpose was to get Kenta Aso to pay attention to their third-year student in Shohoku. !
In the stadium, a practice match for the Xiangbei High School team was taking place.
Mitsui Hisashi led a coalition of sophomores and juniors from Shohoku High School to fight against a group of juniors led by Jinguji Budo.
Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori, Kigure Kimonobu, Chiba Oishi and Miyagi Ryota formed a group of five. Fighting against them were Jinguji Budo, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Nango Koichiro, Kiyota Nobunaga and Katsumi Ichiro. .
This was a warm-up match between the main selections of Shohoku High School. Rukawa Kaede, who was very strong, did not get a chance to play.
"Senior Anzai, the members of Shohoku High School seem to be in good spirits!"
"As expected of the players you trained Anxi-senpai!"
On the side of the court, Kenta Aso and Coach Anzai sat together, holding a teacup in one hand, looking at the two players in the court, and said with a smile.
The game has been going on for 6 minutes at this time, and the team led by Hisashi Mitsui has a four-point advantage at 15:11. At the same time, the ball is still in the hands of Hisashi Mitsui and others.
"Senior Anzai, is the No. 4 who is carrying the ball the captain of your Shohoku? He is a very good player. Is he a third grader or a second grader? Or...a first grader?"
Aso Kenta's eyes fell on Mitsui Hisashi and asked seemingly casually.
In this six-minute warm-up match, Hisashi Mitsui made 3 of 4 three-pointers and also scored a mid-range shot. His personal score was a terrifying 11 points, and his opponent was Katsumi Ichiro.
His outstanding performance naturally attracted the attention of Kenta Aso.
Today, Hisashi Mitsui is 192cm tall. With his physique, he has pretty good ball-holding ability, and he also has an excellent three-point shot. He is definitely a player that all universities hope to get.
Even among the most powerful in the country, the University of Tsukuba is no exception!
Martial arts itself means that he is here to defend Hisashi Mitsui, but this kid Katsumi Ichiro wanted to fight with Hisashi Mitsui, so martial arts was given to him. Unexpectedly, he was directly defeated by Hisashi Mitsui.
"You mean Mitsui!"
"It's third grade."
"Mitsui's speed is very good. He plays in the split position and can also take on the work of a small forward. He can cut without the ball and make open shots. They are all very good!"
"Looking across the country, players who can reach Mitsui's level are very rare."
"He is our main force in Xiangbei, but unfortunately... he will enter high school next year."
Coach Anzai introduced Mitsui Hisashi to Kenta Aso, with a faint smile on his face.
"Third grade... Such a player can only play for one more year in Xiangbei. It will really trouble you, senior. After all, once he leaves, I'm afraid Xiangbei's strength will drop a lot."
As Aso Kenta spoke, his eyes fell on Jinguji Martial Arts in the field, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes.
Hisashi Mitsui really moved his heart, but at this moment in the stadium, Jinguji Budo was the player who made his eyes look hot.
In the first grade, he is a small forward who is more than two meters tall, and has terrifying ball holding and shooting. Compared to Hisashi Mitsui, this is the player that makes him hot in the eyes!
pity......
"That Jinguji martial artist has already had experience in the United States. I heard from Anzai-senpai that this kid is different from Tanizawa back then. He has already established a foothold in the United States."
"I heard that there are already invitations from some strong NCAA schools in the first grade. We at the University of Tsukuba probably have no chance of getting him!"
"However, this Mitsui Hisashi...is also a very talented and powerful player!"
"Even if you come to our university, you can immediately become a fighting force."
"It's a worthwhile trip!"
Kenta Aso chatted with Coach Anzai all the time. The content of the chat was roughly to find out about Mitsui Hisa's playing style, technical characteristics, and Mitsui Hisa's future plans.
When he started to inquire about this, Coach Anzai knew that his junior had already fallen in love with Hisashi Mitsui. As long as Hisu Mitsui worked hard, it would be a matter of course for him to enter the University of Tsukuba in the future.
However, except for Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi, Chiba and other third-year students failed to catch Aso Kenta's eye. On the contrary, Sakuragi Hanamichi, a first-year student, attracted his strong interest. During the competition, he also Find out about Sakuragi Hanamichi.
When he found out that Sakuragi Hanamichi was actually a first-year player who had just played for one year, Aso's eyes lit up and he secretly remembered Sakuragi Hanamichi in his heart.
In this team practice match, Hisashi Mitsui shined. At the end of the game, Hisashi Mitsui scored 47 points alone, leading the team to an 88:76 victory.
As for Jinguji Budo, it was Shenyin who scored an mediocre 24 points, but gave out 12 assists.
At the same time, first-year Sakuragi also performed well, with martial arts skills. Sakuragi scored 20 points and 14 rebounds in a single game. He was the best player among the first-year players.
After the practice match, Coach Anzai led Aso Kenta around the campus with a smile. At the same time, Coach Anzai specially called Hisashi Mitsui to join him.
Hisashi Mitsui was not a fool. He knew what Coach Anzai was up to. When he led Kenta Aso on a sightseeing tour, he enthusiastically introduced the school. During the chat, he revealed his longing and admiration for the University of Tsukuba, which made Kenta Aso amused. Laughed.
When Kenta Aso left Shohoku, he even patted Hisashi Mitsui on the shoulder and laughed: "Hahaha! Mitsui, I will wait for you at the University of Tsukuba!"
