"Is that person...a member of Shohoku High School?"
"Those on the sidelines...are all members of Xiangbei!"
As Hanamichi Sakuragi took off his coat and walked into the stadium, the Teiko players who had just left the field saw Sakuragi and the Shohoku people not far behind Sakuragi. The Teikou players who were still cheering for the team's victory now looked curiously at Sakuragi Hanamichi, Jinguji Budou and others.
Shohoku High School Basketball Club, Kanagawa Prefecture.
This name is quite famous in the local campus basketball circles in Kanagawa Prefecture. Every junior high school student in the prefecture who is pursuing a basketball career has heard of Shohoku High School's name.
"Shohoku High School! You look really strong!"
"Hey, supervisor, can we play with the players from Shohoku High School?"
"The match against Mingchuan was so boring!"
"Competing with high school students?"
Aomine Daiki took the towel handed over by his teammate, wiped the little sweat on his face, and said to Supervisor Sanada not far away. Aomine Daiki is a player with a typical ace personality. Whenever he meets some famous and powerful players or teams, he will want to play against them, regardless of whether they are of the same age or not.
This kind of character is a typical Mamba character.
In the match against Mingchuan Junior High School, Aomine Daiki was not having fun at all. When he saw the players from Xianghoku High School, he felt happy for a moment.
"Fight against Shohoku High School?"
Supervisor Sanada was also stunned when he suddenly heard Aomine Daiki's request. He didn't expect that Aomine Dahui would actually make such a request. Before that, he had never even thought about it.
The difference between junior high school students and high school students is not even a little bit different. Children of this age are only 3 to 4 years old, which is a huge difference.
This can be seen just by looking at the physiques of the Shohoku High School players. The red-haired player who walked into the field was visually estimated to be around 190cm tall. The players wearing team uniforms off the field were all very tall.
As for Teiko, the tallest member, Atsushi Murasakihara, is only 185cm, and the rest of the team members are far behind him.
This high degree of disadvantage cannot be made up for simply by relying on techniques and tactics. And to put it bluntly, Xiangbei High School, as a member of the top 8 in the national competition, how weak will it be in terms of technique and tactics?
Playing against high school students, especially against Shohoku, seemed a bit ridiculous to Director Sanada.
】
"Qingfeng, I know you didn't have a great time in the match with Mingchuan, but..."
"Isn't it too much to play against high school students? Besides, they may not play against us."
"Let's pack up our things and leave early so as not to affect Xiangbei's training."
Kuroko Tetsuya was speechless for a moment when he heard Aomine Daiki's words. However, he understood Aomine's character relatively well and walked to Qingfeng's side to persuade him.
“I finally had the opportunity to come to Xiangbei and meet the players from Xiangbei.”
"If we just leave like this, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?"
"Heizi, don't you want to see the strength of Shohoku High School? This is the second most powerful high school in our county!"
"As for what you said, the other party won't fight us? I don't think you need to worry about this at all!"
As Aomine Daiki spoke, he turned to look at Kuroko Tetsuya, and his words were heard by other team members around him.
Midorima pushed up his glasses, lowered his head slightly, and said nothing, but his eyes were vaguely cast towards the field, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Murasakihara Atsushi looked indifferent, slumped on the bench, neither supporting nor objecting, and just minding his own snacks.
After Kuroko was silent for a long time, he sighed softly and looked back at Akashi Seijuro. Seeing the appearance of his teammates, Akashi smiled after a brief silence:
"If you want to fight, I'll fight by your side, Aomine."
"However, I don't think Xiangbei will fight against junior high school students like us."
"Go and ask for the other person's opinion. If you don't agree, forget it."
After Akaashi finished speaking, he smiled at Aomine Daiki and expressed his support.
Director Sanada felt helpless when he saw this. Of course, his original intention was not to support it. Playing against high school students would not do any good to the team at all.
Even if the game is not played, Sanada is not optimistic about his players. Even though these players are regarded as once-in-a-decade geniuses.
However, Akashi and Aomine were the first-year players that Teikou focused on cultivating, so he couldn't dampen their enthusiasm, so he excused himself:
"Coach Anxi from Shobei hasn't come yet. When coach Anxi comes, I will ask coach Anxi for his opinion."
When Qingfeng heard the supervisor's words, his mouth cracked and he smiled: "There's no need to go to such trouble!"
After whispering, Aomine Daiki walked into the stadium and walked towards the Shohoku players in the field.
At this moment, some players from Xiangbei had changed their clothes and shoes and entered the stadium. Sakuragi Hanamichi was circling the ball while twisting his neck to stretch his muscles. Kiyota and others were also doing simple warm-up activities in the field, preparing for the next training.
Aomine Daiki's movements did not attract the attention of the players on the field, but instead attracted the attention of the audience who had not left the field.
"Huh? What is that junior high school student going to do?"
At the side of the court, Hisashi Mitsui, who had tied his shoelaces, was just about to walk into the court when he saw Aomine Daiki walking towards Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, and was immediately stunned.
Martial Arts took off half of his clothes, and when he heard this, he was stunned and looked towards the stadium.
"Aomine Daiki? What is this kid going to do?"
"Is it possible..."
Seeing this, Budao raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Aomine Daiki.
Under the gaze of everyone on the sidelines, Aomine Daiki walked to the field where the Shohoku players were warming up and said loudly:
"Hello!"
"High school students! Isn't it boring just to warm up by yourself?"
"How's it going? Do you want to warm up with us?"
Aomine Daiki's voice was very loud, and his words instantly reached the ears of Sakuragi and others.
"Um?"
"ah?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kiyota Nobunaga and others made noises from their nostrils. After hearing this, they stopped their warm-up activities in unison, turned their heads, and looked at Aomine Daiki with an unkind expression.
Seeing Aomine Daiki standing not far away, Sakuragi who was closer dropped the ball, put his hands in his shorts, stretched his neck slightly forward, looking like a bully, and slowly walked towards Aomine Daiki. forward. He bent down, put his face in front of Aomine Daiki, looked directly into Aomine Daiki's eyes, and asked in a bad tone:
"Junior high school student!"
"what did you just say?"
"I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's rogue appearance immediately startled the Teiko players on the sidelines. Kuroko looked at Aomine Daiki with a worried expression, fearing that Aomine Daiki would suffer at the hands of high school students.
Murasakihara Atsushi, who had been eating snacks, stopped chewing and looked straight at the field.
"I said, do you want to play a game with us?"
Qingfeng Dahui straightened his back unconsciously and said loudly, without the slightest fear in his voice.
As his words fell, Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression became increasingly gloomy. Qingfeng looked at the other person's face and his heart sank. Although he was not afraid of such bad guys, it was better not to be beaten by others if he could avoid being beaten.
Just when Aomine thought Sakuragi would take action, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who looked gloomy, suddenly laughed.
"Haha! Hahahaha!
! "
"Junior high school student, you actually want to compete with us in Xiangbei? Are you out of your mind?"
"You don't think that if you beat that middle school by a few points, you can compete with us in Xiangbei, right?"
"How can a junior high school student deserve to fight with us?!"
"Go, go, I don't have time to fight with junior high school students. Don't disturb our training."
Sakuragi Hanamichi's laughter subsided, and he waved his hand towards Aomine Daiki as if chasing away a puppy. He did not mean to argue with Aomine Daiki, and turned around and walked towards the team members. The rest of the Xiangbei team members didn't care about Aomine. A group of people smiled at Aomine, ignored Aomine Daiki, and continued training on their own.
"Are you afraid of Xiangbei?"
"Afraid of losing to us junior high school students?"
However, just when Sakuragi Hanamichi was about to leave, Aomine Daiki's voice came from behind Sakuragi again. And what he said this time also made Sakuragi Hanamichi stop in his tracks. The Shohoku team members who were originally focusing on their own warm-ups also turned their heads and focused their attention on Aomine Daiki again.
"Boy..."
"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said."
Sakuragi Hanamichi slowly turned his head and looked sideways at Aomine Daiki, without a trace of smile between his brows.
The simple and clumsy provoking method is very useful for adolescent high school students such as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga.
When Aomine Daiki saw Sakuragi Hanamichi's appearance, he knew that his provoking method worked, and he looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile on his face. Sakuragi Hanamichi opened his mouth and was about to agree, but suddenly closed his mouth and turned to look at Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo on the sidelines.
Behind Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kiyota Nobunaga and others, who also heard Aomine Daiki's provocation, all turned their attention to Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budou on the sidelines.
"Young, Hanamichi, Kiyota and the others are looking at you, mistress."
"I thought this boy would agree immediately, but I didn't expect that he would actually think of you, the captain, and ask for your opinion."
"You are really mature!"
Budao looked at the eyes of Sakuragi and others, suddenly smiled, and turned to look at Mitsui Shou.
Mitsui Shou pursed his lips when he heard this, and he was also a little unhappy:
"These junior high school students are really too arrogant."
"Facing high school students, he actually took the initiative to provoke them."
In this country with a strong sense of hierarchy, it was quite outrageous for Aomine Daiki, a junior high school student, to say this to a high school student.
Not to mention his respectful attitude, Aomine didn't even want to call Sakuragi senior.
impolite.
Mitsui Hisashi caught the attention of the team members, looked around but did not see Coach Anzai, and then nodded slightly towards Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Junior high school student, don't you want to compete?"
"Get ready, let's go on the field!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi received Mitsui Hisashi's approval, turned his head to look at Aomine Daiki, and agreed directly. Sakuragi did not consult Kiyota Nobunaga and others for their opinions. He knew the character of Kiyota and others. Faced with such a provocation, they would never refuse the competition.
After the words fell, Sakuragi Hanamichi walked back to his team and briefly talked about the matter with his teammates. In fact, they all heard Aomine Daiki's words.
At this time, they learned that they were going to play a practice match with junior high school students, and all the team members immediately signed up enthusiastically.
Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro are good-natured characters, so they immediately joined Sakuragi Hanamichi's team.
As they joined, Sakuragi also turned his attention to Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro.
Although Sakuragi is unwilling to admit it, there is no way around it. The strength of Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi Ichiro is indeed outstanding.
Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even think about calling the other second- and third-year players in Shohoku. It's already a shame for a group of first-year high school students to beat up junior high school students. How could the seniors in high school, second and third grade, join in the mischief with them? Although Hisashi Mitsui acquiesced, it was impossible for him to go out and compete with the junior high school students in person.
"I'm not interested in playing games against junior high school students." Rukawa Kaede looked at Sakuragi and said indifferently. He took the ball and walked off the court.
On the contrary, Katsumi Ichiro smiled and said gently: "Then let me join. It's just a warm-up anyway."
There is still one person left. Sakuragi Hanamichi ignores some first-year students who are trying to raise their hands in front of him, and looks at Oda Ryumasa of the second team.
"Xiaotian, do you want to join?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi opened his invitation, but Oda Ryumasa only hesitated for a second, and then immediately nodded heavily.
He is different from Sakuragi. He is in the second team, and his opportunities to express himself are far less than that of a main selection like Sakuragi. And he is different from Rukawa Kaede, who is also in the second team. After enrolling for so long, Oda Ryumasa has long known that Rukawa Kaede is also a special recruit. He knows that Rukawa Kaede will be promoted to the main selection sooner or later.
If Oda Ryumasa wants to be promoted to the main selection as soon as possible, instead of staying in the second team to endure qualifications, he needs to seize every opportunity to show his strength!
Five players gathered together, and the remaining players who were not selected all wailed in disappointment, followed Rukawa Kaede off the court, and stood on the sidelines to watch the game. Those Xiangbei students who had not yet left, seeing that there was still excitement, stopped one after another, turned around and surrounded the stadium.
Everyone at Mingchuan Middle School who originally packed their things and was about to leave, had no intention of leaving immediately after packing their things. They took their things and stood on the sidelines to watch the game.
"I hope these guys Sakuragi won't embarrass us in Shobei."
"If even the junior high school students can't beat them...just send them to the second team."
Mitsui Shou cast his eyes towards the stadium and murmured in his mouth.
At this time, Teikou Middle School has also sent out players to prepare for the game. They are the same people who played against Mingchuan Middle School before. Their colorful hair, even though Martial Arts has already watched a game, is still a bit awkward at this moment. Not adaptable.
"It doesn't matter if we lose. There is no way to close the gap in physical fitness."
"Whether it's a game of golf or not, it's a good time to give this guy Sakuragi a hard time. This guy has become proud since the practice match with Lingnan."
"The shooting training has improved a lot during these days, and my tail is almost reaching the sky."
Budo said with a smile, he was full of confidence in Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others.
