In Hainan's match against Shohoku, Xiangyang, and Lingnan, the most critical issue now is the players of the joint team. Kenji Fujima of Xiangyang and others have already agreed to participate in this game with Hisashi Mitsui and others, but the players of Lingnan
, don’t even know about it yet.
When Fujima Kenji called Reinan the first day, he was picked up by Aida Hikoichi. Aida Hikoichi was more like a manager and spy in Reinan. When he heard the content of the call, Aida Hikoichi was frightened.
One jump. I just finished a game with Xiangbei and now I’m going to Hainan again. Isn’t this a farewell party in disguise?
"Okay, I will tell Captain Xiandao about this." Yanyi's eyes lit up. He also liked this kind of competition very much. What's more important is that he has an old sister who is a reporter, and his temper is not bad.
Where to go.
"Sendō, captain, captain." Aida Hikoichi ran to announce the news to Sendō and the other team members of Lingnan. He was so excited that he was frothing at the mouth.
"What, competing against Hainan?" After hearing what Yan said one by one, the Lingnan players also became happy and shouted that they must go and see it.
"Captain, what do you think?" Hiko asked Sendō. Uozumi has left the team, so Sendō is now the captain of Lingnan.
"Ha~~~." Xiandao let out a long yawn. It seems that except for the competition, Xiandao is always in this semi-drowsy state.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"It's about going to compete with Hainan. Captain Xiandao, if you continue to be so sleepy, the coach will curse you again when he sees you." Yanyi became worried about Xiandao. Coach Tian Gang has said this many times.
.
"Ah, I'm not interested in this matter. If you hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have participated in the Xiangbei competition." Xiandao yawned and leaned on the armchair and said: "Our main task now is training, so
You guys train well, as for me, I’ll take a rest first.”
"No, I'm not going." Yan Yi was a little disappointed. Although he had no regrets about the match with Xiangbei, it was not good to lose all the time. Now there was a chance, but he didn't expect Sendou-senpai to not participate.
.
"Ah, but if you want to go and see it, it shouldn't matter." No one knew what Xiandao was thinking at this time. He had his eyes closed and there was no expression on his face.
The players in Lingnan were all staring at their captain, feeling a little uncomfortable in their hearts. The current situation in Lingnan was worrying. After captain Yuzhu left, the entire team was supported by Xiandao alone. They were in urgent need of an inspiring person.
events to consolidate the confidence of all team members.
Coach Tian Gang was watching this scene at the door. To be honest, he was very satisfied with Akira Sendō who he had worked so hard to recruit. But if he relied on him alone, Lingnan would never have a chance to enter the national competition. Hainan, Xiangbei
It's the obstacle that stands in their way.
After the day's training, coach Tian Gang left Xiandao alone. He wanted to have a good talk with Xiandao, for the sake of Lingnan and Xiandao himself.
"Xiandao, do you still remember the conditions I agreed to when I approached you?" Coach Tian Gang said straight to the point.
"Huh?" Xiandao was obviously stunned for a moment, and stopped eating oranges. After the two of them were silent for a moment, Xiandao returned to his lazy expression, continued to eat his own oranges, and said intermittently: "
I have long forgotten about that kind of thing."
"You forgot, right?" Coach Tian Gang's tone was very calm, and there was no hint of disappointment or happiness. He sat on the rest chair with his head lowered.
"But I still remember that I promised you that I would definitely let you enter the national competition and make Lingnan a strong team in the country. But now, the chances are getting smaller and smaller."
Coach Tian Gang said that Xiandao listened silently without interrupting him. The lazy expression on his face never changed.
"Xiandao, I broke the promise first. If you want to return to Tokyo, I will not keep you. After all, it is your hometown and there are many strong teams. If you join, you will definitely make it happen next year.
My own dream.”
Coach Tian Gang's words were still very calm. He was mentally prepared. At the same time, Coach Tian Gang was betting on Xiandao's feelings for Lingnan and other team members in the past two years, betting that he would not abandon Lingnan easily.
Xiandao had already finished eating the oranges. At this time, he stood up and walked out. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have to train tomorrow."
"Xian Dao..." Coach Tian Gang raised his head for the first time, his eyes full of unbelievable joy and gratitude. Xiandao did not disappoint him. As long as he stayed in Lingnan, Lingnan still had hope. As for the capable
Helper, that is my own business. I will definitely make Lingnan strong again and will not let the Immortal Dao be alone.
"etc."
"Well? Is there anything else? Ah,," Xiandao yawned greatly, making coach Tian Gang confused whether Xiandao was really tired or fake.
"Xiandao, you will also go to tomorrow's game." Coach Tian Gang clenched his fists in front of his chest, looked at him and said, "I want everyone to know that Lingnan next year will still be their biggest opponent."
"Ah?" Xiandao's face fell instantly. It's not that he doesn't want to go to tomorrow's game, but he is most afraid of trouble. Unless he can't avoid it, he won't take the initiative to find trouble. But now that it's determined
, Xiandao's face gradually became determined: "Okay, in that case, let's fight and see."
After Hiko Aida came home, he was always depressed. While eating, his sister Yayoi Aida noticed something was wrong with his brother.
"Hikoichi, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?" Yayoi Aida is very concerned about her younger brother. She is a reporter for Basketball Weekly. Her younger brother also started playing basketball under her influence. I think the relationship between them is very close.
good.
"Sister, do you think I made a mistake in choosing to play basketball? I'm so short and my skills are poor." Yan Yi has been thinking about today's events and noticed everyone's expressions. Captain Xiandao
He must be worried about the other team members, so he didn't want to delay training. But he and the other team members couldn't help at all. Captain Sendao must really want to go to the game.
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Aida Yayoi did not expect that Hikoichi would suddenly question his basketball. It seemed that the problem was serious.
"Because, because Sendō-senpai..." Aida Hikoichi explained what happened, "If we weren't a drag, I believe Sendō-senpai would definitely want to participate in the competition."
"What! The game against Hainan..." Yayoi Aida seemed not to hear the point of her brother's words. As a reporter, she easily grasped the biggest news here. The game against Shohoku
Same, this time it’s Hainan’s turn to face the strong players from other teams, if,,,,,.
"Sister, are you listening to me?" Aida Hiko knew without thinking what his sister was planning, so he clapped his hands on the table and shouted loudly.
"Ah, that, this, hehehe, Hikoichi, can you tell me who is going to participate." Hikoichi and his sister are worthy of being siblings. Miss Aida Yayoi didn't know where to pick out someone who was the same as Hikoichi.
He kept a notebook and asked questions to his younger brother Yanyi while recording.
"Sister,,," Yan Yi felt that his lungs were about to explode. Could it be that his elder sister had an occupational disease? She was still thinking about her job at this time, but she didn't care about her younger brother.
"Ah, hehehe, brother, it's not good for me to be the elder sister." Ms. Aida Yayoi also came to her senses, saying that it really wasn't the time to work. Seeing her brother frowning, Ms. Aida Yayoi explained: "
Brother, although your strength is not as good as those players, you are also working hard for your basketball. Your notebook is full of information about the players you know. They have given you and Lingnan a lot of help, haven't they? How could you
It’s useless.”
"But, but,,," Aida Hikoichi still couldn't figure it out in his heart. He saw that since Sendou-senpai started training, he didn't even go for his favorite fishing. He has been helping other team members with various trainings, and besides himself,
Doing odd jobs and not being able to do anything.
"Okay, Yanyi, speaking of which, you are just lamenting here, why not spend more time practicing, so that you can help Immortal Dao as soon as possible."
