"Wait, wait a minute." After returning from Aichi Prefecture, Sakuragi Hanamichi stopped Kamikaze Doichi before breaking up. Kamikaze Michichi turned around and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a serious expression, waiting for him to speak first.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind is now full of the collision not long ago. He was intentional or unintentional, but the result was completely different from what he thought. The moment Sakuragi came into contact with Morishigehiro, he felt as if he had collided.
Just like on a wall, his body was instantly knocked away and he fell to the ground.
During the entire return journey, Sakuragi Hanamichi could not calm down. He did not believe that he would lose. This was a complete failure and the most unacceptable to him.
"Kamikaze, I, I lost, right?" Sakuragi is a person who cares very little about victory and defeat. It is even suspected that he does not understand what the victory or defeat of a game means. But his feelings are very simple, so he
He is very persistent in his efforts and those of his friends. If he loses like this, his feelings will be the most difficult for him to accept.
"Well, I lost, very thoroughly." Kamikaze is not attacking Sakuragi Hanamichi, because Sakuragi cannot be defeated. Just like yesterday, Kamikaze just wants him to recognize the reality, otherwise today and yesterday
All the work was done in vain.
"Really?" Sakuragi Hanamichi just stood there with his head lowered. You can imagine that his expression must be very lonely and his heart must be very uncomfortable.
"Sakuragi, last night and today's game, I just want to tell you something." Kamikaze Dao waited for Sakuragi Hanamichi to raise his head before continuing: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
"There are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world?" Sakuragi Hanamichi's Chinese class must not be very good, and he doesn't seem to understand Kamikaze Daichi's words. However, Kamikaze Daichi knows that he must have understood.
"Sakuragi, let's not talk about high school basketball. Take Japan's basketball as an example. It is only second-rate in Asia. Compared with China, South Korea, and Iran, Japan is nothing. Not to mention competing with the world's basketball powers.
To put it bluntly, if compared with the United States, Japan is not even considered a Poon Choi."
"What?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was shocked. Although he had been playing basketball for a long time, this was the first time someone said these words to him. In fact, Sakuragi still couldn't even recognize the Kanagawa team.
"Sakuragi, in your eyes, Sendō, Maki Shinichi, Mori Shigehiro and even Rukawa Feng are all your strong enemies. But Sakuragi, I want to tell you, compared with those who really make a living from basketball
, they are as childish as primary school students.”
"What, how is that possible?" Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't believe what he heard. Someone like Mori Shigehiro was actually described as a primary school student by Kamikaze Daichi.
"What about you, Kamikaze? Compared with Morishigehiro..." Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Kamikaze Daichi. He noticed that Kamikaze Daichi did not mention his own name just now.
"I, I am stronger than them." Kamikaze said to Sakuragi Hanamichi: "Sakuragi, what I tell you is not what you need to consider now. I just want to tell you, Sakuragi, if you want to use basketball
There is only one way to fight better. Keep getting stronger and never stop for a moment."
Kamikaze Daichi's words were actually just words to Sakuragi Hanamichi. After all, Sakuragi was his friend. Kamikaze Daichi only hoped that Sakuragi could go further on this road. At least in college, he could still see him.
His figure. And when that time comes, I hope Sakuragi Hanamichi will no longer be a supporting role in terms of strength.
"Become stronger?" Sakuragi Hanamichi looked directly into Kamikaze Daichi's eyes, trying to get the answer from his eyes. However, that was impossible. Kamikaze Daichi could not give him anything but encouragement.
"Sakuragi, a mere Kanagawa is not our end, nor is the national competition. As I said last night, Sakuragi, I am waiting for you in the finals of the national competition. If you can get to that point, you will have
Qualify to move to a higher stage." As soon as Kamikaze finished speaking, he turned around and walked back home. At the same time, he casually stretched out his hand and waved, "Sakuragi, become stronger, there are many wonderful things in the basketball world that you don't know."
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Kamikaze Doichi's back and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.
"Sakuragi, why are you here?" After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice came to Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears.
"Haruko!" Sakuragi Hanamichi came to his senses and found that Akagi Haruko was already in front of him, staring at him with big curious eyes. Sakuragi Hanamichi's face turned red, like a shy child.
"Haha, Sakuragi, what are you doing here?" Haruko Akagi asked with a smile when she saw Sakuragi finally coming back to her senses.
"Uh, um, it's nothing." Sakuragi Hanamichi secretly glanced at Akagi Haruko with his eyes, his expression looked like a child who had done bad things.
"Really? Oh, by the way, how about letting me tell you some inside information?" Akagi Haruko suddenly said to Sakuragi Hanamichi with great interest: "I overheard it from various places."
"Gorilla? Um, Captain Akagi?" Sakuragi Hanamichi thought of Kamikaze Doichi's words again, Kanagawa is too small. Yes, if Captain Akagi and Shigehiro Mori were compared, the gorilla would definitely not be his opponent.
"Well, Sakuragi, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze again." Haruko Akagi still felt that something was wrong with Sakuragi. It was different from the usual Sakuragi. How should I put it, it seemed that she was worried and was always in a daze.
"Ah, no, it's nothing." Sakuragi touched the back of his head, looked at Haruko Akagi for a few times before seeming to make up his mind, "Haruko."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Akagi Haruko tilted her head and asked, her long hair falling down around her ears, making people feel even more excited. Of course Sakuragi was no exception, it should be said that he was more serious than anyone else.
"Ah, um, I, I just want to ask, Haruko, why do you like basketball?" Sakuragi's face was as red as an apple, and he didn't dare to look at Haruko at all, lowering his head and asked softly.
"Huh? Why, this, I just like it if I like it, if you want to talk about the reason." Haruko Akagi put her index finger to her lips and thought for a moment, "That's much better. First, my brother has been playing basketball since he was a child, and then I also started playing basketball.
I also participate in the school team. After so many years, I have long been used to it."
As Akagi Haruko and Sakuragi Hanamichi walked, Akagi Haruko told Sakuragi what she thought. Haruko put her hands behind her back, and her steps were bumpy. She turned her head and looked at Sakuragi: "To be honest, basketball
It has long been a part of my brother and I’s life, and we have never thought about life without basketball. Although basketball here is not as good as baseball and football, I still like it if I like it.”
"Yes, that's it." Hanamichi Sakuragi looked at Haruko Akagi's smiling face, and his heart was filled with waves. He seemed to think of the first game he watched; of when he just played basketball; of meeting Akagi.
When I was watching Haruko, I also remembered the first time I said, "I am a basketball player."
That's right, I just like it, and I don't need so many reasons at all. I, Sakuragi Hanamichi, am a genius and a genius basketball player.
"Sakuragi, Sakuragi! Really, why are you in a daze again?" Haruko Akagi yelled Sakuragi Hanamichi's name several times before pulling him out of his daze.
"Haha, it's okay, it's just..." Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Akagi Haruko and said: "Haruko, I also like basketball, and I will always like it. Haruko, look at me, I will become the most powerful player, for you,
No, that, for the basketball we love."
It seems that Sakuragi Hanamichi's sanity has not been lost. After saying this, Sakuragi felt that his heartbeat was a hundred times faster than before. Sakuragi didn't dare to look at Akagi Haruko, so he ran away in a hurry.
"Sakura~~~" Akagi Haruko looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi running wildly, stretched out her hand, but did not scream loudly, and just let Sakuragi run away.
"Sakura." Although Akagi Haruko is an emotional idiot, it is only at the level of consciousness. Only feelings cannot lie, although she still doesn't understand where the strange feeling comes from. However, this is not the first time.
Yes, she has gradually felt that this feeling sometimes occurs when she is with Sakuragi, but why?
