In a quiet park, there were two high school students sitting on the swing. At first glance, they knew that they had bad hairstyles. With extremely sad expressions, the feeling of desolation in the middle of the middle school was unstoppable.

"When I first met her, I was already fascinated by her..."

"So I immediately decided to join the department and made up my mind to put all my energy on the basketball team. As long as I make the basketball team stronger, I will win the game..."

"If this makes her happy, I will be satisfied..."

A sad male voice told his companion the softest words in his heart. At the same time, the words also hit the softest parts of his companion's heart, the most tragic history in the voice of Hanamichi Sakuragi.

"I understand... Miyagi classmate... I have been rejected 50 times when I was in the process. After coming to high school, I fell in love with Miss Haruko at first sight..." The tears in Sakuragi's eyes spilled out, and he told me in detail about the day of the past with a trembling voice.

"50 times!! Huh? Miss Haruko? Could it be Boss Akagi's sister?" Miyagi was surprised. He really didn't expect that someone would be rejected 50 times. The most rare thing is that he still has expectations for love.

"Yes, it's the gorilla's sister, but there is only Rukawa in her eyes... Woo woo..." At this moment, a friendship called man was born. Two boys who were sick and adjacent to each other hugged each other and cried together, scaring away the aunt passing by.

"Sakuragi, we are all basketball left now, and our youth is all about basketball!"

"That's right, Miyagi classmate! We agreed to become stronger together! We must become stronger than Rukawa and Maeda!!"

"Hmm? Maeda? Who is he?" Miyagi asked in confusion.

"Don't you know? He seems to be Miss Aiko's boyfriend. I met them on a date yesterday..." Sakuragi said with a look of course. In his opinion, Aiko refused Miyagi because of Takuya.

"Boyfriend??Date??!" Miyagi's face at this moment had turned into a ghost. It seems that although he said he wanted to focus on basketball, he still couldn't forget Aiko.

"Hmm? You really don't know. Miss Aiko said that she and him were Qingmei's horses!" Sakuragi looked at Miyagi's face and found that it was indeed very exciting. At this moment, he understood a little why his group of bad friends liked him so much and made him look ugly.

"Which class he is from? I'm going to kill him!!" Miyagi officially lost his mind.

"He is not from our Xiangbei, but from Lingnan."

"Hmph! Lingnan? Just wait for me to come! Hehehehe~"

Days are passing day by day during training. As the national competition preliminaries are getting closer, Takuya's training in Ringnan is getting harder and harder. He doesn't have to think about taking leave. Takuya has no time to make an appointment with Aiko, and Aiko cannot pay any time to pay attention to him.

Today is the first day of the preliminary round. Since Lingnan was in the semi-finals last year, Lingnan is a seed team and is directly in the quarterfinals.

"Isn't there no competition today? Why do you want to come?" Takuya looked miserable and followed the entire Lingnan team to the city's gymnasium.

"We are here to see Xiangbei. In fact, they were not a complete lineup in the last game. Their point guard was a pretty good guy!" Off-road answered Takuya's doubts. You must know that Akagi could completely survive last year. The big reason was that there was a defender who knew how to pass the ball to him, Miyagi Liangda.

"Is that true?" Takuya's tone was still not concerned at all.

"Don't underestimate him. Our Lingnan was the semi-finals last year. Except for Sendo and Captain Yuzu, the others were seniors of third-year students. At that time, except Akagi and Muru were second-year students, the others were first-year students, and many of them were beginners. The scores that Xiangbei got at that time were actually from Akagi and the point guard, and even the deputy captain did not get more than the scores he had." Off-road face was heavy, and it seemed that Miyagi last year left him with great shock.

"Is it that strong..." Takuya always thinks that off-road is exaggerating.

"There is nothing wrong with off-road. Although Miyagi is short, his sense of ball and exercise are excellent. Before the grass joins the team, I planned to let Miyagi come to our Lingnan team. Unfortunately, he refused." Tian Gang also looked regretful, invited many times and refused many times. The most disgusting thing was that the other party went to Xiangbei.

"Well... Akagi, Rukawa, Miyagi, if Sakuragi grows slowly, he will be a good rebounder. In addition, Ki Mu who occasionally shoots cold arrows, it seems that Xiangbei cannot underestimate it. Although he lost to us more than 20 points last time." Takuya raised a little vigilant, but his tone was inevitably contemptuous.

"It's not just Sakuragi, but Rukawa, he still has a lot of room for improvement." Sendao interrupted.

"That boy's football skills are good, but if he doesn't improve at the inner level, he will never catch up with you." Takuya has been in Lingnan for a while. The training together every day not only makes everyone clearer in his strength, but also makes Takuya realize the talent in Xiandao's body, and burst out when he concentrates with him, and his terrifying scoring ability.

"Well... maybe." Xiandao chuckled softly. He still remembered that the opponent he met in junior high school had been completely invincible on the offensive end for the first time. It was from that time that he gradually tried to pass the ball.

——

Beep!!TIMESUP!

The whistle blew and Xiangbei's first game officially ended.

"That No. 14 is so amazing." Takuya's face was unnatural. This person who did not play in the last practice game made seven of 10 shots and scored 21 points with three-pointers alone. In addition, the other moves were also solid and creative.

"He used to be the MVP in junior high school. Although he disappeared for two years for some reason, if he had been on the court, he would definitely be one of the strongest people in Kanagawa." Yuzhu said seriously. If Xiangbei had shortcomings before, then Xiangbei can be said to have been completely strengthened now.

"Although I won the last practice competition, can our Lingnan win easily in Xiangbei now? Mitsui, Rukawa, Miyagi, the lineup I had in my dream at that time, Xiangbei had three, plus Akagi, who was even more powerful than Yuzhu... I'm trouble now..." Coach Tian Gang held his chin and carefully analyzed where Xiangbei had an opportunity to succeed.

"I heard from Captain Yuzuru that the strongest player in Kanagawa is Maki Shinchi, and the next one is Fujima Kenji from Shoyo. Is Mitsui Shou, who is No. 14, also one of the genius players? Indeed, his offense is more sophisticated than Rukawa..." Takuya is still very unfamiliar with Kanagawa players. Although his teammates have probably told him that his father had also said it, Takuya has a vague impression of them.

"However, Hainan and Xiangyang are both teams alone, so if you guard them, the strength of the whole team will not be able to be exerted. However, except for Sakuragi, everyone has the ability to stand alone. In addition, there is a gorilla to suppress and a high-profile coach, there will be no internal strife. Their selection team is very strong, and no weakness has been discovered yet."

"Captain Yuzuru may be slightly better against Akagi, but it is more likely that he will not be able to distinguish between high and low. Sendo is better than Rukawa, but relatively speaking, Sendo is likely to be unable to defend against Rukawa, and Rukawa has made too fast. As for Mitsui, can I defend? Let I come up with Ikeg. For Miyagi, it is more suitable to call it for Uegra or off-road. Sakuragi Hanado cannot underestimate him. His bounce can also be used as a weapon, and his rebounding feel is also very sharp. Last time, he made great progress in the game. Although he did not score points in this game, he and Akagi almost won all the rebounds. It is really difficult to deal with..." After leaving the gymnasium, Takuya's mind was still worried about what to do when facing Shohoku.

"Well...what should I do when I compete with Xiangbei?" Coach Tiangang suddenly said to himself.
