【Kanagawa Prefecture Liluennan High School】

In the Lingnan High School Gymnasium, because there will be practice competitions held today, many Lingnan High School students and outsiders who want to watch the competition have already come to the hall.

"Wow, there is a reporter here." Yan Yi, who was standing on the sidelines, noticed several basketball reporters standing in the stands on the second floor at a glance, and exclaimed immediately. "It must have been for Senior Xiandao!"

(PS: Let me give you some popular science. The Japanese professional basketball league was only available in 2005, so before that, basketball reporters focused on high school leagues and college leagues, and this was also mentioned in the original book.)

"Good morning!"

At this time, everyone from Xiangbei also rushed to the gymnasium and immediately asked loudly as soon as they came in.

"It's Xiangbei..."

"Wow, Akagi is so tall..."

"Which is Rukawa..."

Seeing that Xiangbei was coming, the members of Lingnan stopped what was happening.

"Wow, there are so many people in Lingnan!"

Entering the gymnasium, the first-year students in Xiangbei also sighed.

"Of course, the other party is a traditional strong school in the county. Unlike us, a large number of freshmen join each year." Ayako also explained to her juniors at the right time.

"Teacher Anxi!" Seeing Xiangbei coming, Tiangang walked to Anxi very politely, bowed and said, "I really want you to come to Lingnan. We should have visited him."

"Haha~" Anxi smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

"I am the captain of Xiangbei, Akagi, please give me some advice." Seeing that the coaches of both sides had finished their exchanges, Akagi hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Taroka.

On the other side, Yu Zhu, the captain of Lingnan, immediately greeted Anxi. After the greetings between the two sides were over, everyone in Xiangbei immediately entered the visiting team's locker room to change their clothes.

...

In the locker room, Anxi was holding a tactical board to prepare to arrange the starting players. The tactical board recorded the situation and data obtained by the Xiangbei team members during this period.

"Central, Akagi, No. 4." Of course, there was no objection to the first candidate. As the captain and soul of Shonobe, Anxi naturally reported him first.

"Yes." Akagi agreed and then took over the team uniform from Ayako.

Quiet ~

After deciding on the center, Anxi suddenly looked at the tactical board and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something. Although the people in Xiangbei were also curious about what the coach was thinking, they still remained silent and waited for Anxi's next personnel arrangements.

After thinking about it for at least two minutes, Anxi finally raised his head and looked at the Xiangbei team members and said, "Small forward, Mu Mujun, No. 5."

"yes!"

Looking at Mu Mu who was out of the lineup and holding the team uniform, Sakuragi felt as if tens of millions of mud horses were running by. It was dizzy! Mu Mu still had to think about it for so long? Dad, were you asleep just now?

However, no matter how much he complained in his heart, Sakuragi still pretended to be serious and listened to Anxi's words.

After deciding on the small forward, Anxi's eyes circulated between Rukawa and Sakuragi for a while, and finally said as if he had made up some decision: "Power forward, Rukawa, No. 11."

"Yes!" Rukawa looked at Sakuragi proudly when he heard this, and then left the line to take the team uniform from Ayako's hand.

"It's worthy of Rukawa..."

"Yes, I can be the first grader to be the regular election..."

Hearing that Rukawa is the starting player, the first-year freshman was immediately amazed, and then everyone couldn't help looking at Sakuragi. After all, coach Anxi's eyes were relatively high just now, as if he was comparing Rukawa and Sakuragi. Now Rukawa is the starting player, so doesn't it mean that Rukawa is better than Sakuragi in Anxi's heart?

When everyone noticed everyone's eyes, Sakuragi also expressed his uneasiness. Dad, you're fucking! How could Rukawa be better than me? I'm not Sakuragi, the basketball novice in the original work!!

"Scoring guard, Sakuragi Jun, No. 10." Just as Sakuragi was about to attack, Anxi spoke again. He actually arranged Sakuragi in the defender position!

When Sakuragi heard Anxi's words, she immediately relaxed her whole body, but when she thought about Anxi's words carefully, she suddenly realized that Anxi's father was really observing! He could see that even as he was playing as a defender?!

Although Sakuragi was a point guard in his previous life, because the team at that time did not have an excellent scorer, he played double-easy defenders most of the time, so he also developed a superb scoring skill.

However, after he became Sakuragi Hanamichi and had a superhuman body, he was playing in the style of a striker. Unexpectedly, Anxi could discover the secret that Sakuragi had been hidden deep.

"Sakuragi plays the defender? Uh..." As soon as Anxi finished speaking, Sakuragi didn't react at all, Akagi immediately said in confusion. But he immediately shut up because he realized that this was coach Anxi's arrangement, so there must be his reason.

"Haha" Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Anxi smiled and explained to everyone: "When Sakuragi Jun is practicing, he always looks very spiritual whenever he is in the defender position, so I think Sakuragi Jun should have been playing the defender before..."

Anxi explained at the end and looked at Sakuragi with a smile. Although he seemed to be asking Sakuragi, he had already had a positive answer in his heart.

"Uh..." Sakuragi also came back to her senses at this time. Seeing that everyone looked at Anxi again because of Anxi's words, she smiled and said, "Haha, yes, I prefer to control the ball, so I have always played as a defender before. But after entering high school, I changed my playing style. I didn't expect you to see it, dad."

I see!

Everyone could not deny Sakuragi's explanation. After all, they couldn't say much about the strong Sakuragi. And now Coach Anxi has arranged Sakuragi as the defender. Then he must recognize Sakuragi's strength as a defender. Among them, Rukawa knows Sakuragi's defender level even more. The time they played against Sakuragi was the point guard in He Hikaru.

"Okay, Sakuragi, come and get the team uniforms quickly." At this time, Ayako waved to Sakuragi and asked him to come and get the team uniforms quickly.

"Oh." Sakuragi was stunned and immediately took the team uniform from Ayako. Looking at the red No. 10 battle jersey with the words "SHOHOKU" printed in her hand, Sakuragi was really moved at this time. Because he liked SD in his previous life, he chose the same No. 10 number as Sakuragi in the original No. 10 number. Unexpectedly, he would get this No. 10 from Shokuo in this life. (PS: The number arrangement is just a coincidence, haha.)

But he just sighed for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses. He walked to a corner and put on his team uniform. After all, he couldn't take it off in front of Aiko, right?

When Sakuragi put on his team uniform, Anxi also decided to make the final point guard Yasuda, the starting player.

...

After the preparations were completed, the people from Xiangbei left the locker room and immediately came to the court to start warming up. Lingnan's players also warmed up on the other side of the court.

Ten minutes later, after the warm-up, the players on both sides entered the rest area and waited for the start of the game.

"Damn it! Isn't that boy Xiandao here yet?!" Tiangang, who was sitting in the Lingnan rest area at this time, was very uneasy because the team's ace Xiandao Aki has not come yet.

"Isn't the immortal way back?"

"Ha, if you don't come..."

“…”

On the other side, Xiangbei obviously also discovered that the immortal Tao had not come, and he immediately had some discussion.

"Hmph! Sure enough, there is a casual guy in each team." Akagi snorted coldly.

He felt that Xiandao did not take Xiangbei seriously at all. Don’t think that he won more than 100 points last year, so Xiangbei will be so weak this year! Today I will definitely defeat Lingnan!!!

Of course, Akagi did not forget to mock Sakuragi, and anyone in the Shonobei team could hear it, so Sakuragi could only helplessly spread her hands.

"Good morning!"

Suddenly, a loud greeting came from the door, and a tall figure appeared with the sunlight on his back.

When he walked into the gymnasium, everyone saw him clearly. He was a handsome boy with short hedgehog hair, and he looked lazy and casual.

"Here you come!"

"Senior..."

When the people in Lingnan saw that the person was coming, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and finally came.

But there was one person who didn't think so, that was Tiangang. When he saw Xiandao coming, he immediately walked to Xiandao and accused him: "Xiandao, you idiot, what plane are you doing! You are here until now!"

"I'm sorry, coach, haha, I've overslept." Seeing the coach coming, Xiandao immediately explained with an embarrassment.

"Uh..." After all, Sendao is the ace in the team, and Tiangang just complains to him, so he will have a long memory and don't be late next time. After Sendao honestly admits his mistake, Tiangang will not say anything.

"Senior Xiandao, this is the team uniform." At this time, Yanyi also handed the team uniform of Xiandao to him.

"3Q, Yanyi." Xiandao thanked politely, and then sat directly on the chair in the lounge area to prepare to change his clothes.

"Xiandaosang..."

"Xiandaosang..."

“…”

Seeing Xiandao changing his clothes, Lingnan's team members surrounded him and helped him block the wall of humans independently. This shows how high Xiandao's status in Lingnan's team is.

"Xiandao, I don't have time to warm up for you, the competition is about to begin." Yu Zhu also walked over and said with a serious look on his face.

"OK, I'm fine. Senior Yuzhu, I ran over." Xiandao replied casually, and changed his clothes and stood up. "Okay, let's go."

"Swish~" Seeing Sendo's confident look, Sakuragi immediately whistled frivolously and said to Rukawa: "He looks very strong, you seem to have to face him. Don't lose too badly."

"Hmph, take care of yourself." Rukawa immediately snorted coldly when he heard this, and his eyes were sharply looking at the immortal who was walking towards the field.

"Okay, let's go too." Seeing the Lingnan team going out, Akagi also said to the people of Xiangbei, and then led the crowd out first.
