Sakuragi Hanamichi is a single-celled animal. When he doesn't notice something, he really turns a blind eye.

Chen Zhao remembers that when he was a child, he didn’t even know what “closed-circuit television” was, and he always wondered why his classmates in the town could watch the NBA and the Premier League and La Liga.

So Chen Zhao briefly introduced the basketball game and talked about the benefits of basketball sparring.

After all, the job of a basketball coach is indeed much better than other jobs that Sakuragi has found. He is specifically responsible for helping pick up the ball, feeding the ball, acting as a fixed defender, cleaning up afterward, and other related matters.

Easy work, good remuneration, fun, and the best choice.

Never delay them from playing with their beloved little steel balls.

In fact, the profession of basketball sparring is very suitable for the other four members of the Sakuragi Corps.

So after hearing Chen Zhao's simple description, Mito Yohei and the four of them were immediately moved.

Although it's a bit tiring, it sounds interesting.

And there is a salary, which can be used to play pinball games.

Gao Gongwang said quickly: "It sounds good."

Mustache Noma Chuichiro: "I like the job of basketball sparring very much."

"Haha, let's take it then!" The yellow-haired Kusuoji punched his right palm with his left hand and said excitedly.

"I think it's okay, what about you Hanamichi?"

Mito Yohei also nodded, and then looked at Sakuragi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi doesn't care.

But he has difficulties.

"But I have to take care of dad."

The nursing care and services in the island hospital are excellent. No family members are required to accompany you, and three meals a day are delicious. The nursing staff are dedicated to their responsibilities, and there will be no contempt or abuse.

Of course, the higher the level of care, the more money is needed.

The island country is a place where money is paramount, and you can enjoy everything if you have money.

But it is a pity that the Sakuragi family is not a wealthy family. Medical expenses alone have taken up most of the family income, and they cannot afford to hire nursing care and services.

Therefore, Sakuragi Hanamichi could only take care of his father by himself.

Considering that the old Sakuragi would have to be hospitalized for at least a month or two, Chen Zhao could only give up the idea of ​​persuading Sakuragi to play basketball now.

It is better to wait until they enter high school and meet the person they are destined to, and let the "professional" things be taken care of by the "professionals"! For the simple and stubborn guy Sakuragi, there is a direct and effective way to prescribe the right medicine.

Why take action?

After settling the matter of basketball training, Chen Zhao notified Hisashi Mitsui and found out that he had obtained the key to the school's basketball gym from Coach Anzai. He couldn't help but feel good.

So the matter was settled like this.

Chen Zhao gets up at six o'clock every morning, washes up and has breakfast, then runs to school.

Around eight o'clock, he and Mitsui met at school.

Do physical training together.

At about half past nine, the Sakuragi Corps arrived on time.

Today we have Mito Yohei and Takamiya Nozomi.

The two of them are in a group, Yuji Ohkusu and Chuichiro Noma are in a group, and they rotate every day.

This will not delay them from playing small steel balls, but they can also earn pocket money.

So every day at this time, the beautiful sound of "bang bang bang..." would be heard in the basketball hall of Xianghoku High School.

The monotonous days passed day by day, but Chen Zhao felt extremely fulfilled and did not feel boring at all.

Looking back on my high school days, I should have fought against the problem, but I indulged in life and failed the college entrance examination.

But returning to high school again, even though it was a high school in an island country, still made him feel that he cherished time. Of course, it was his boyhood that was worth cherishing.

What makes him even more happy is that in this boyhood, he still doesn't have to be immersed in a sea of ​​topics, but can devote himself to the basketball career. It's a wonderful time!

This day was the day before the new semester started. Chen Zhao and Mitsui Hisashi did not continue training. Instead, they went to a cold drink shop, drinking cold drinks and chatting.

"Miyagi, you have made great progress. You have completely mastered the three-point shooting technique. It seems that having a senior like me as a benchmark will really help you a lot." Mitsui Hisashi said still confidently.

"My goal is to be within my shooting range after the midline. Now it's just close to the three-point line. Senior, I think you have made greater progress. Your physical strength, endurance, and shooting skills have all improved. It's gratifying.

Congratulations!" Chen Zhao smiled.

"Of course, I am the genius Mitsui, a man destined to use Makoto Shinichi and Fujima Kenji as a stepping stone!" Mitsui said proudly.

"Yes, after all, the base is low and progress will make it more obvious!" Chen Zhao said unforgivingly.

"Asshole Miyagi! You're so rude to senior!"

"How could I? I'm using myself as an example. Look, I've grown a full 4 centimeters in the past two months, while my senior has barely grown at all, but there's still a gulf-like gap in our heights!"

Chen Zhao said.

"You grow up too fast. Maybe by this time next year, you will be as tall as me." Mitsui said solemnly.

"Hey, I'll give you some good advice then."

Chen Zhao said with a smile.

Kenji Fujima is 178cm tall, Maki Nobuchi is 184cm tall, and Kazushige Fukatsu, a Sanno engineer, is 180cm tall. The three of them are relatively standard point guard heights in the high school basketball world.

Even if Chen Zhao has grown to 172cm now, he still has a long way to go.

I hope it will grow rapidly in the next few months.

Sharing the joys and sorrows of a holiday made Mitsui Hisashi full of expectations and said: 'The new semester has begun, and I can't wait to surprise the whole Kanagawa!'

…

After school the next day.

"Finally we can go to the gym!" Takenori Akagi, captain of the Shohoku High School basketball team and Class 6, Grade 3, strode out of the teaching building with arms and chest extended.

His classmate and vice-captain of the basketball team, Konobu Mugure, walked beside him, his pair of glasses radiating joy, and his face full of expectation, and said: "Akagi, I heard that Rukawa Kaede from Tomigaoka Middle School has also come to our Shohoku.

, with him joining us this year, our dream of dominating the country might really be possible!"

"He's just a first-year kid. No matter how talented he is, if he doesn't have enough perseverance, he can't be counted on." Takenori Akagi said calmly.

Mu Mu Gongyan sighed.

He knew that Akagi was speaking from his heart.

They have been on the Xiangbei High School basketball team for more than two years and have seen many guys with skills and physical fitness but no perseverance quit the basketball team, especially that person...

The two walked side by side. After a while, Akagi exhaled and said proudly: "In the final analysis, if you want to dominate the country! You can only..."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came: "Wahahahahahahaha...Akagi, you are talking nonsense again! The only one who can dominate the country is our Judo Club... Oops, it hurts me to death!" A car

The bicycle hit directly between his legs from behind, knocking the judo captain who was yelling at Akagi to the ground.
Chapter completed!
