【Kanagawa Prefecture Shonoku High School】

"Get faster, one, one, one two..."

Although today is Saturday, the training of the Xiangbei High School basketball team is still ringing in the gymnasium of Xiangbei High School.

"Okay, let's practice passing and receiving the ball!" In the gymnasium, Takaki Akagi shouted in a thick voice, directing the team members to train.

"Yes..." "Catch the ball..."

Hearing Akagi's orders, the Xiangbei team members immediately responded weakly. Obviously, the physical training just now made them very tired.

"Oh." Seeing the team members' appearance, Akagi sighed softly.

He didn't want this, but if they didn't strengthen their training, they would never be able to become stronger. So where can we start to dominate the country?

He believed that as long as these players who are determined to stay, Xiangbei will definitely make the day to enter the national competition.

"Wow, the training is in full swing!"

Just as everyone in northern Hunan was training seriously, a young man's voice suddenly came from the entrance of the gymnasium.

"Hmm?" "Who?"

Hearing a strange voice, the people from Xiangbei who were training immediately looked up.

"Sakuragi?" Akagi said in surprise when he saw the person. Why did this kid come? Didn't he go shopping with Haruko in the morning? Why did he come to Xiangbei?

"Sakuragi, you are really, you can't be rude. Hello everyone, I'm Haruko Akagi, we're here to visit my brother." Haruko immediately stood up from behind Sakuragi and bowed seriously and greeted.

"Captain's sister?" "Really fake?" "It doesn't look like it at all..."

Haruko's words immediately stirred up a storm among the people in Xiangbei. Looking at Haruko who is well-behaved, polite, sweet and cute, and looking at Akagi, who is scary and rough and rough, the people in Xiangbei feel that they are all in a bad mood. Are these two brothers and sisters? Don't joke about how is this possible!!!

"Ah! Hello, I am Akiko Inoue, the manager of the basketball team." The first person to wake up from the shock was Akiko, the manager of the basketball team. She hurried forward to greet Sakuragi and Haruko.

"Hello, Senior Inoue, this is the condolences we bought." Haruko bowed again and gave the drinks and food she and Sakuragi bought.

"Ahaha, Haruko-chan, don't be so polite, just call me Ayako." Ayako smiled and took the bag from Haruko's hand.

"Haruko, why are you two coming?" Akagi also walked over and said.

"Haha, Senior Akagi, we just happened to visit the nearby area. Haruko said that Shokuto has training today, so I came to take a look and reward everyone by the way." Sakuragi replied with a smile. Although he knew exactly how much strength Shokuto has now, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

"Yes." Haruko nodded in agreement.

"Okay, take off your shoes." Akagi spread his hands helplessly. Then he turned around and said to everyone in the basketball team: "Okay, take a break and come and eat."

At this time, he believed that Sakuragi had already understood Shokube's strength. After all, they had a Winter Cup tour, so he didn't mind Sakuragi's arrival too much. After all, if Sakuragi didn't plan to enter Shokube, he wouldn't be able to change it.

"Yeah! I can finally rest." "Yeah, I'm so tired..." When everyone in the basketball team heard that they could rest and have something to eat, they immediately cheered. After all, no one likes to be abused.

"These guys..." Akagi suddenly had a black thread.

Soon, everyone from the basketball team and Sakuragi who came to visit the set sat around the ground and started eating.

"This is Senior Mu Mu, this is..." "Hello, seniors, I am Hanamichi Sakuragi..."

At this time, Ayako also introduced the current members of the basketball team to Sakuragi and Haruko, so the two of them also introduced themselves politely.

Everything is the same as Sakuragi imagined. The current members of the Shokube High School basketball team are Akagi, Kimu, Miyagi, Yasuda, Shirosaki and Kakuda. The third-year member of the previous Shokube Basketball Team has retired. (PS: Miyagi will appear here because I judge that he should have been hospitalized with Mitsui after the start of the next semester. After all, if you have a fight, it will be a bit too long to stay in the hospital for a few months?

Looking at the people eating, Sakuragi suddenly felt so sad. With this lineup, it would be strange if it weren't for a one-round tour! It seems that Xiangbei's journey to dominate the country is really a long way to go.

"Senior Akagi, after eating, come and play 3V3?" Although the current lineup is very painful, since Sakuragi won't do anything since he has come. He is going to show his strength directly in front of the "seniors". Then, it will be easier to integrate into Xiangbei in the future.

"3V3?" Hearing Sakuragi's proposal, Akagi had not spoken yet, Miyagi frowned and said, "We need to train later, so where can we have time to play with you, a middle school student?"

Since Sakuragi came, Miyagi saw that Sakuragi was a little disliked. This red-haired look is so cool? And if you are arrogant, you also brought a cute girl. If you are brought a cute girl, I have Acai, but you are so tall, which is really abominable! Miyagi said that his height is really a flaw!

"Haha." Sakuragi smiled. "Although I'm a junior high school student, no one here is my opponent." The young man from Miyagi is indeed not very friendly to strangers, especially those who are taller than him.

"Tsk, everyone will say that it's not that you are good at playing basketball if you are good at playing basketball. You have the aura of competing with me?" Miyagi was furious when he heard Sakuragi so arrogant. Just kidding, isn't a native of a high school just tall? How dare you say that no one here is your opponent? Not to mention Boss Akagi's strength, I can defeat you!

When he heard Miyagi's proposal, Sakuragi did not agree immediately, but looked at Akagi with his eyes.

Seeing Sakuragi's eager eyes, Akagi immediately had a headache.

After a period of contact, Akagi still knows Sakuragi better. Sakuragi's strength is indeed very powerful. If he fights one-on-one, he may not be able to win Sakuragi. If Miyagi and Sakuragi lose in one-on-one, it will be a great blow to his confidence, and Miyagi is his teammate whom he values ​​very much.

However, on the other hand, it is also beneficial to Miyagi. Fighting against a powerful opponent will definitely improve its strength.

So Akagi thought about it and said, "Okay, you think you can compare, but you have to make it to the point. And Miyagi, I would like to remind you that Sakuragi is indeed very strong, and he will also enroll in Xiangbei next year and join the basketball team, so he is actually your junior."

After saying that, Akagi glanced at Sakuragi invisibly. Seeing that Sakuragi did not refute, he felt a little relieved. It seemed that Sakuragi still planned to enter Xiangbei.

"Boss Akagi is going to join Shokube?" Miyagi was speechless when he heard Akagi say this. This little gangster-like boy really wants to join the basketball team. As for Akagi's saying that Sakuragi is very strong, he didn't care about it. He was just born in the middle school. How strong can he be?
