Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 130 Become a basketball player!
"This is the future of our Xiangbei!"

When Budo Jinguji said this, the hesitation on Akagi Takenori's face disappeared immediately.Today's Akagi Takenori is no longer the innocent boy who can only shout the slogan "dominate the country".The various experiences after entering high school made Akagi really see what a national team is.

He knows very well what kind of efforts Xiangbei needs to make if it wants to dominate the country. Training reserve players is very important for a team.

Akagi can imagine that if they didn't have the two first-year players Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota in Xiangbei this year, their match against Xiangyang would probably be a hard fight.Whether it can break through the blockade of the top 8 and advance to the top four is a problem.

Akagi's eyes have begun to focus on the whole country. He doesn't know what kind of opponents there are on the national stage, and he doesn't know whether the current Xiangbei can break out of the national competition.It is very important for Xiangbei to cultivate potential junior high school students in advance.

"Since this is the case, I agree!" Akagi Takenori nodded, agreeing to Budo's request.

At this time, Yingmu Huadao was still in a daze, and his head still hurt a little. When Budo was talking to Akagi just now, his attention was all on Akagi Haruko, and he didn't listen to Budo and Akagi's conversation at all.

Looking at Yingmu Hanamichi's confused face, Jinguji Budao patted Yinggi Hanamichi lightly on the shoulder and said, "Hanagi, although you didn't score a goal in the slam dunk just now, your talent has been fully utilized. show."

"Without a doubt, you are a genius!"

"I think you have the potential to be an excellent basketball player, so I decided to spend time cultivating you."

"In the future, if you don't have any important matters from Monday to Friday, you can train with me."

"Two days on Saturday and Sunday, I will train with Akagi."

Jinguji Budou and Sakuragi Hanamichi talked about the future training arrangements, and at the same time patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's flattery without a trace, and when Sakuragi Hanamichi first heard that he had to train from Monday to Friday, his face subconsciously showed a look of resistance.

train?To train for so long?Yingmu Huadao only felt that there was no more time for freedom, so he showed great resistance on his face.And when he heard that he would train with Akagi on Saturday and Sunday, his brows were already wrinkled.

Akagi Takenori's first impression of Sakuragi Flower Road was not good, and Sakuragi Flower Road's first impression of Akagi was like that.For Budo Sakuragi, there is somewhat of a "reward" element in it, but for Akagi, there is no such emotion.

Budao saw Yingmu Huadao's repulsive look.

Gently hugging Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulders, Budou took Sakuragi back a little bit, and whispered in Sakuragi Hanamichi's ear: "Hanagi, Haruko and Akagi Takenori are brothers and sisters, they live with their parents of."

"If you can train with Takenori Akagi on Saturday and Sunday, you will be able to see Haruko Akagi!"

Jinguji Budao's words brightened Yingmu Huadao's eyes. He was originally reluctant, but now he nodded wildly at Budao, looking impatient.

Seeing Huadao's expression, Jinguji Budao smiled slightly, feeling that everything was under control.

"Brother, can I also train with Brother Akagi from Monday to Friday?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi glanced at Akagi Haruko and asked in a low voice, but what Sakuragi said made Jinguji Budou's smile froze. face.

"."

"The name of Akagi has been changed to this bastard, don't you think that I let him play at Akagi's purely for him to pick up girls?!"

Jinguji Budao cursed secretly in his heart. After a brief silence, Budao showed a gentle smile again, and whispered in Yingmu Huadao's ear:

"Huadao, I understand your thoughts."

"Haruko is a very good girl. I can understand that you fell in love with her at first sight, brother."

"However, Hanamichi. Haruko likes people who are good at basketball. Although Takenori Akagi has good abilities, he is more than enough to teach you, but if I teach you, you will improve even more."

"Think about it, when you meet Qingzi every week, she sees your progress, will she have some admiration for you?"

"If you see each other every day, your growth will be easily overlooked."

Bu Dao said nonsense that even he didn't quite believe, fooling Yingmu Huadao.Fortunately, the child Yingmu Huadao is really simple, he actually thinks what Bu Dao said is right.

"I see! Brother, in order to get Qing to become a good athlete, I am willing to train."

Although Yingmu Huadao lacked a chord in his mind, he was still not stupid enough to be thorough. He more or less covered up his deepest thoughts and said something more high-sounding.

After Budo, Akagi, and Sakuragi Hanado reached a simple consensus, Budo started today's training for Sakuragi Hanadao.Since it was Hanamichi Sakuragi's first contact with basketball, Budou planned to briefly explain the rules of basketball to Hanamichi Sakuragi. Akagi Takenori and Akagi Haruko were fine, and they were tired from the morning run and simply sat in the park to rest. Lectures on martial arts.

But when Budou was explaining the rules to Sakuragi Hanamichi, he clearly noticed that the bastard Sakuragi Hanamichi was absent-minded. He peeked at Akagi Haruko with unskilled peeping skills, and he didn't pay attention to the basketball rules at all. study.

Aware of this, Budou simply stopped, walked to the sidelines, whispered a few words with Haruko and Akagi, and asked Haruko to explain the rules of basketball to Sakuragi.

Akagi Haruko used to be a member of the women's basketball team, and under the influence of Akagi Takenori, she also loves basketball very much. It is really easy for Sakuragi Hanamichi to briefly explain the popularization of some basketball rules.

"This bastard... I can't kill him when I come to Shonhoku!" Jinguji Budao sat beside Akagi Takenori, watching Sakuragi Hanamichi who was very serious in the "Haruko Class", and couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart.

The teaching effect of Akagi Haruko and the teaching effect of Jinguji Budo are really different. Before Budo, Balabala said a lot, but Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't listen to a word!Changing Haruko told Yingmu Huadao that this kid could draw inferences from one example and become smart all of a sudden, this kind of change really angered Wudao.

But seeing the effect of Haruko's lecture, Budou also thought about how to train Sakuragi Hanadao in the future.Teaching Sakuragi Hanamichi the basics of basketball?Forget it, at this stage Sakuragi Hanadao is only playing basketball to please Haruko. If the boring basic training is taught by martial arts, it will be half the effort and meaningless.

This kind of thing is still taught by Akagi Takenori on Saturdays and Sundays, with Akagi Haruko watching, the effect is hehehe.

"Akagi, Sakuragi Hanamichi will leave all the basic basketball training to you."

"But after that, we in Xiangbei will prepare for the semi-finals. After the semi-finals, there will be a national competition."

"The matter of Yingmu Huadao's training cannot be left behind. At his age, it is the most critical time to increase the ball."

"I don't think you're free during the preparations for the battle. You can ask Haruko to teach the basic training of Sakuragi flower path."

Jinguji Budao was thinking about the training of Sakuragi Flower Road in his heart, and casually talked to Akagi Takenori beside him, not noticing that Akagi's face was already quite dark.By the time Budao realized this, Akagi was already approaching the breaking point.

"Uh, I mean." Bu Dao noticed Chi Mu's face, and wanted to make amends, when he heard Chi Mu growl:

"Don't worry, I'll kiss you! Myself! Take him!" Akagi Takenori emphasized the word "personally", making Budou secretly sweat for Sakuragi.

After popularizing simple basketball knowledge to Sakuragi Hanamichi, under the "request" of Budo, Akagi Haruko began to teach Sakuragi Hanamichi how to dribble.

As for why let Haruko teach?Isn't that obvious? !The effect is good!
Sakuragi Hanadao is a genius, and things like dribbling depend on a lot of practice.Even though Sakuragi Hana learned Taoism very seriously, she was still quite unskilled in dribbling, and there were many mistakes and omissions in posture and movement.

As for Akagi Haruko, watching Sakuragi Hanamichi dribble, she just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what Sakuragi Hanamichi needed to correct. For a while, the progress of teaching slowed down.

By this time, Jinguji Budao finally slapped his thigh and stood up.He knew it was time for him to play.

"Sakuragi, don't shoot the dribble, that's wrong."

"While dribbling, your arms should rise and fall with the basketball, not wait for the ball to come up and shoot the ball down."

"Pay attention, the arm should rise and fall with the basketball, this is dribbling."

"If you are a beginner, it is normal to have poor ball feel. If you want to improve your dribbling, ball feel practice is also very important."

Jinguji Budou walked up to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko, broke off the basketball from Sakuragi's hand, and at the same time began to demonstrate Sakuragi Hanamichi's dribbling.Hanamichi was still a little annoyed when someone interrupted her "alone" time with Haruko, but seeing that it was Jinguji Budou who came, Sakuragi Hanamichi suppressed her anger in an instant.

This is the benefactor who allowed him to get to know Haruko!

In Sakuragi's mind, Budao's kindness for bringing him to know Haruko is already the same as the kindness for indirectly helping him save his father back then.

Suppressing his anger, Sakuragi Hanamichi was quickly attracted by Budo's dribble. He was keenly aware that his "dribble" just now was very different from Budo's dribble. , nor is it like martial arts is now.

How should I put it, Budo's dribbling not only looks more handsome, but also has a wonderful sense of rhythm, which firmly draws Sakuragi Hanamichi's attention.

"Sakuragi, this is how normal dribbling in place is."

"But for beginners, it's best to use a low dribble to strengthen your sense of rhythm."

"Look, this is called a ball protector, protecting the basketball from being intercepted."

While speaking, Wu Dao bent his knees, raised his ball protector, and accelerated the pace of dribbling.Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's serious expression, Budou laughed and began to change the way he dribbled.

"Look, Hanamichi, this is a low finger dribble."

"Look, Hanamichi, this is finger low dribble ring leg."

"Look, Huadao, this is a cross-leg dribble!"

"Look, Hanamichi, this is a back dribble!!!"

"Look"

Jinguji Budou didn't know why, maybe it was because of Sakuragi Hanamichi's "serious" face, the more he demonstrated, the more excited he became, and his voice became high.In just a few minutes, Yingmu Huadao showed various fancy dribbling methods in different ways.

Akagi Haruko, who was standing beside Sakuragi Hanamichi, looked at the various dribbles of Jinguji Budo, and couldn't help but whispered: "Okay, that's amazing!"

It was this praise that made Yingmu Huadao startled, and his eyes changed from serious to fiery and expectant.

"Brother! I want to learn this!"

Hearing Yingmu Huadao's urgent voice, Jinguji Budao knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Hmph, everything is under control!" Wu Dao smiled slightly, thinking to himself.

Before you know it, the time is approaching noon.

Akagi Takenori and Akagi Haruko brothers and sisters went home for lunch. Before the Akagi Takenori brothers and sisters left, Akagi Takenori and Sakuragi Hanamichi confirmed the time and place of training. Afterwards, Budo took Sakuragi Hanamichi to eat in the surrounding shops After lunch, the two returned to the park after the meal.

The training effect in the morning was very good. Ever since Budo showed Sakuragi Hanamichi various dribbles, which drew a compliment from Haruko, Sakuragi's enthusiasm for basketball has been burning quite vigorously for the time being.

After lunch, after resting for more than an hour, Hanamichi Sakuragi started his dribbling practice.Although it is a basic movement, Yingmu Huadao does not feel boring at all. On the contrary, he is full of freshness and interest in dribbling.

Budou looked at Hanako who was dribbling the ball, and after correcting his posture, he began to lie down and rest on the lawn next to him.

After an unknown amount of time, when Budou woke up, Hanamichi Sakuragi was still tirelessly practicing dribbling on the court, and at this time, the sun had already reached the top of his head.

Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi whose clothes were already soaked in sweat, Budou was a little surprised. He was about to let Hanamichi take a rest when he noticed the shadow of the basketball hoop. Akagi Haruko was leaning on the basketball hoop, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi Training, a little distracted.At Akagi Haruko's feet, there were 4 bottles of mineral water, two of which were already empty.

The boy in the center of the court was sweating, and the girl next to the basketball hoop was fascinated by watching the boy training.

The summer wind blowing on this pair of boys and girls should be hot and dry.

Jinguji Budao watched this scene quietly, and for some reason, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Huadao, I'm going back first, see you after school tomorrow!"

After staring at it for a long time, Budao shouted at Yingmu Huadao and left the stadium.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was practicing on the field, raised his eyes to look at Budou, then turned his head to look at Haruko on the sidelines, with a "happiness" smile on his face, and continued his training.

At this time, Yingmu Huadao felt that he was very "happy". He had been rejected almost thirty times, and it was the first time Yinggi Huadao felt such "happiness".

A simple boy is so easy to satisfy, even if Haruko just stands by the court and watches him train, Sakuragi Hanamichi is quite satisfied.

Moon stars are rare.

Sakuragi Hanamichi lay on the tatami in the bedroom, unable to fall asleep for a long time, his mind was full of Akagi Haruko, and the sound of the basketball hitting the ground kept coming back to his ears.

That voice seemed to be integrated with the rhythm of his heart beating, "Plop, plop".

"Haruko."

"I must become a good basketball player!"
