Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 128 People Who Can Influence Sakuragi!

Sunday morning.

Jinguji Budo got up early in the morning. As usual, he changed into his sports clothes after a simple wash, wrapped a sweat towel in his hand, and went out to start his morning run.

When approaching 06:30, Jinguji Budo turned around and ran towards Qibian Park.He has not forgotten the agreement with Yingmu Huadao yesterday, and is going to wait for him in Qibian Park ahead of schedule.

To be honest, Jinguji was somewhat uneasy on the way to the park. He didn't know if Sakuragi Hanadao, whom he had only met twice, would come. From Budou's point of view, Sakuragi Hanadao said yesterday that he wanted to be Athletes like Budo are more about talking.

It's just a subconscious longing for an ignorant teenager after seeing the scenery of a senior.The duration of such yearning is often very short. Many people may forget yesterday's bold words after a night of sleep.

Banner Park is a small park in the city. It covers a relatively small area. There is a basketball court in the park, but the facilities of this basketball court are really so-so. There is no line on the ground, and it is still a concrete floor. No glue was applied.There are no benches for people to rest on the side of the court.

Therefore, this course is not popular, and no one will come here to play and practice in the morning.And the reason Jinguji Budo chose this place is simply because this park is relatively close to the place where he met Yingmu Huadao back then.The home of Huadao should be near this park.

When Budo Jinguji ran to the park gate, it happened to be around 40:[-]. Yesterday Budo and Sakuragi Hanamichi came out of the noodle shop at around [-] o'clock, and the agreed time was also at that time.

Looking at the deserted open space at the entrance of the park, Wu Dao felt somewhat lost.

"It seems that it is impossible for that guy to arrive early and then wait for me."

The feeling of loss was quickly left behind by Wu Dao. It was still early and the agreed time had not yet arrived.

Wu Dao also had some time for his morning jog. Taking advantage of this time, Wu Dao also planned to take a good rest. He walked to the gate of the park, sat under the shade of a tree, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

The morning wind blew on the sweaty skin a little cool, which was indescribably comfortable.

Unknowingly, Jinguji Budao fell asleep, and a slight snore sounded, which merged with the cicadas on the tree.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Dao suddenly felt someone shaking his body, Yoyo woke up, and saw a big black face appearing in front of his eyes.

"Budo, why are you sleeping here? Wake up, Budo." Akagi Takenori shook Budo's arm and shouted with concern.Jinguji Budao opened his eyes and suddenly saw this familiar black face, his face was full of doubts.

Confused, he turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, Bu Dao came back to his senses, looked at Akagi, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"Me? My house is nearby! My sister and I passed by here for a morning jog and saw you sitting here."

"I still want to ask you, why are you here?!"

Akagi Takenori turned his body slightly, pointed to Akagi Haruko who was standing not far behind him at this time, and said to Budo.Akagi Takenori looked at Budou's face while he was talking, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Budou didn't look sick.

Akagi Takenori was wearing a red T-shirt on his upper body, black sweatpants on his lower body, running shoes on his feet, and a basketball tucked around his right waist. He looked like a sports boy.

Behind him, Akagi Haruko was also wearing a light-colored sportswear, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing a pink headband.The siblings seemed to have been running for a while, and Akagi Haruko's face was covered with crystal sweat, looking youthful and beautiful.

At this time, he was looking curiously at Jinguji Budo who was sitting on the ground.Akagi Haruko has seen Jinguji Budo, and she has also watched a few games in Shonhoku High School, and knows that Jinguji Budo is Akagi Takenori's teammate.It's just that Akagi Haruko is curious about why Jinguji Budao is sitting here.

"I, wait for someone."

"Thinking about resting for a while, I fell asleep."

"You are..." Budou scratched his hair, stood up silently, and saw a basketball sandwiched by Takenori Akagi's waist, pointed at the ball, and looked at Akagi with a questioning face.

"Just practice dribbling."

"Although we have entered the semi-finals in Xiangbei, it is far from the time to slack off."

Akagi Takenori patted the basketball, then held the ball in his hands, and said to Budo.

Budo nodded silently, and it could be seen that Akagi Takenori's love for basketball is real.People who can integrate ball training into their daily life have no problem with their attitude, and it is often only such people who can play well.

Akagi's talent is not to say how good it is, but as long as he can maintain such a training attitude, among other things, there is no problem at all in entering a better university by relying on basketball.

Just when Bu Dao was about to continue chatting with Akagi, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance.

"Hey! Brother!"

The familiar voice stunned Budou, who was just about to talk to Akagi, and then turned to look across the road.On the road at this time, Yingmu Huadao quickly ran towards Budao when he saw that there was no driving vehicle.

Sakuragi Hanamichi came to Budao, and was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed Akagi Haruko standing beside Akagi Takenori, that handsome face suddenly turned red, obviously standing in front of Budou, but Looking at Akagi Haruko blankly, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Akagi Haruko, who was stared at by Sakuragi Hanamichi, was not only not shy at all, but he also didn't notice the strangeness of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Yingmu Huadao's height and pretty face were full of surprises, and he praised:
"so high!"

Then he pinched Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm as if no one else was around, Haruko was secretly surprised by the firm arm.As for Haruko pinching her arm, Sakuragi Hanamichi stood up straight, no longer looking at Haruko, but looking forward instead, as if she was a soldier undergoing inspection by the leader.The weather in the morning is not bad, and Yingmu Hanadao should not have done any strenuous exercise, but at this moment, Huadao's face is dripping with sweat.

"The muscles are also very strong." Akagi Haruko let go of Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm, turned to look at Akagi Takenori, and asked curiously:
"Brother, is this person also from your basketball team?!"

"Such an excellent player, haven't I heard you mention it?!"

Akagi frowned slightly, shook his head, and then looked at Jinguji Budao.He just heard clearly that this red-haired delinquent boy called Jinguji Budao his big brother.

Akagi Takenori knew that Budao was the only son in the family, but he had no younger brother.Moreover, the title of big brother made Akagi feel distorted no matter how he heard it, and the way Sakuragi Hanamichi looked straight at his sister just now reminded him of his childhood friend Tatsuhiko Aota, which made Akagi extremely upset.

Combined with Yingmu Huadao's bad boy's attire, Akagi's impression of Sakuragi Huadao has become very bad.

"Hey, Budao, who is this guy?!" Akagi was in a bad mood, even talking to Budao with faint anger.

"Hehe, Sakuragi Hanamichi from Wako Middle School."

"He's a very nice kid. He wants to be an athlete. He came to me for training today."

Budo sensed Akagi's emotions, but he didn't care, and introduced to Akagi Takenori with a smile.As for why Akagi Takenori has a slight hostility towards Sakuragi Hanamichi who met for the first time, Budo is also understandable, anyone who meets a young man dressed as a bum staring at his sister on the road will be angry~
You can't say anything if you secretly look at Akagi, but it's really rude to stare.

While Budou was speaking, he patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulder with one hand. The stiff Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even look at Akagi Takenori. He mechanically turned around to face Haruko, and introduced himself:

"You... hello!"

"I am Sakuragi Flower Road."

"Please please. Please."

Budou looked at the stuttering Sakuragi Hanamichi a little speechlessly, and Akagi Takenori also looked at Sakuragi with a black line on his face, his expression becoming more and more unkind.

"Please advise!"

"My name is Akagi Haruko, I'm from No. [-] Middle School!"

Akagi Haruko generously accepted Yinggi Hanamichi's words, and even took the initiative to shake hands with Yinggi Hanamichi.At the same time, Akagi Haruko introduced her brother to Sakuragi. Facing Akagi Takenori's unkind eyes, Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't feel like saying hello.

"Senior Martial Arts said you want to become a good athlete?! Are you also good at basketball?!"

Akagi Haruko's love for basketball can be said to be unmatched by anyone. Just now, I just heard Budou mention "athletic master", and directly connected Sakuragi Hanamichi with basketball.

"Basketball?!" But Yingmu Huadao doesn't know anything about basketball, he doesn't even know what basketball is.However, in front of Akagi Haruko, Sakuragi Hanamichi said in harmony:
"Ah! Yes! Yes, basketball."

"I'm looking for Brother Wu Dao just to become a good basketball player!"

Jinguji Budou squinted his eyes and glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi, then silently glanced at Akagi Haruko, and had an idea in his mind.He didn't expect that Yu Sakuragi would meet Akagi Takenori brother and sister today.

Originally Budou only planned that if Sakuragi Hanada was interested in sports, he would take Sakuragi to exercise and exercise, not to mention how much improvement Sakuragi could make, but he only wanted Sakuragi Hanada to be interested in sports, familiar with it, and more Develop less physical talent.

But the appearance of Akagi Haruko changed Budou's mind. It seems, maybe, that Sakuragi Hanamichi, who met Akagi Haruko in advance, could get in touch with basketball in advance?
"Are you going to be a good basketball player?! Sakuragi-san, I think you can do it with your physical condition." Haruko Akagi looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi enviously, and suddenly recalled Rukawa Kaede's heroic appearance when he played basketball. After reacting, Haruko blushed a little, a little shy.

Sakuragi thought that Haruko was admiring herself a little, so her spirits perked up, and she suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Yes, I will become a good basketball player!"

Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's happy look, Budou also smiled happily.

Do you want to become a good basketball player? You said it yourself!

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is actually still a beginner in basketball, but Huadao's talent is quite good, and he will definitely become a very strong player in the future."

"Akagi, our current strength in Xiangbei is indeed not bad, and we have also won against Xiangyang at this stage, and there will be no problem in the subsequent games."

"However, if we want to attack the whole country and maintain our Xiangbei's combat effectiveness, excellent rookies are indispensable."

"To put it bluntly, the conditions of our students in northern Hunan are far inferior to schools like Hainan and Xiangyang."

"I want to find talented people who can join us in Xiangbei in the future and help us dominate the country in Xiangbei."

While Budou was speaking, he patted Yinggi Huadao on the shoulder vigorously. Although Yinggi Huadao was a little simple and would be stupid in many things, he was still very reliable sometimes.Hearing what Budao said at this moment, Yingmu Huadao took advantage of the situation and said: "Mmm, um!"

"I will help Xiangbei dominate the country!"

Even if Sakuragi Hanamichi doesn't know what basketball is now, and he doesn't know what Hainan Xiangyang is in Budo's mouth, but this does not prevent him from shouting the slogan "dominate the country" in front of Akagi Haruko.

"Innocence is so good!" Budao secretly sighed in his heart, then patted Sakuragi's shoulder vigorously, and said while the iron was hot: "Let's go, Sakuragi, let's train."

Budou glanced at the basketball in Akagi Takenori's hand, and then said with a smile: "Akagi, let's go together, just in time, let you see this guy's talent."

"This guy is really talented."

Budou said with a smile, listening to Budou's swear words, Akagi Takenori couldn't help but become a little curious.Jinguji Budo has always been a very demanding person, even he said he is very talented, and Akagi also wants to see how talented Sakuragi Hanada is.

"Okay, okay!" Akagi Haruko was obviously very curious about Sakuragi Hanamichi, and she also wanted to see what kind of performance Sakuragi Hanamichi could perform with such a physical condition.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was immersed in the wonderful scene of meeting Akagi Haruko at this time, and he didn't even realize that Jinguji Budou had already labeled him a "Shohoku High School player" in a few words.

Jinguji Budou led Sakuragi Hanamichi, Akagi, and Haruko into the park. Not long after, the four of them came to the small court in the park.

Although the facilities of this park court are simple, but there are rebounds and baskets, which is enough for Sakuragi Huadao today.

After arriving at the court, Budou silently took the basketball from Akagi Takenori, patted it casually, and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi: "Hanagi, do you see this ball in my hand?"

"This is basketball."

"You take this ball and put this ball in the basket."

"like this."

While speaking, Jinguji Budao quickly came to the basket with the ball, then jumped up suddenly, dunked directly with one hand, and poured the ball into the basket fiercely.

"That's great!" Haruko Akagi saw a slam dunk for the first time, but seeing Jinguji Budo's slam dunk up close was quite shocking.Jinguji Budao didn't use all his strength for the slam dunk this time, and the height of his take-off was only moderate.But even if it's just that, the impact of slam dunk is still very strong.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little dazed watching Jinguji Budo's dunk, and he heard Haruko's murmur, "That's amazing", and the blood in his body immediately boiled.

He also wanted to be praised by Akagi Haruko!
"It's very simple, you just jump up and put the ball in, take off with all your strength, and smash the ball into the basket with all your strength."

"Nothing is easier than basketball!"

Jinguji Budao chuckled, threw the ball to Hanamichi Sakuragi casually, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

How to make Hanamichi Sakuragi fall in love with basketball and be willing to work hard for it is very simple, as long as there is praise from Haruko Akagi.After the early stage, the charm of basketball will naturally attract Hanamichi Sakuragi firmly.

Let Sakuragi Hanamichi slam dunk, I want Sakuragi Hanamichi to feel the thrill of dunking, and then get a wave of praise from Akagi Haruko.These two things are enough to make Yingmu Huadao unforgettable forever.
