Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 221 Special Recruitment Quota!

On the morning of August, there was no wind, and the cool breath quietly diffused into the sleeping cabin.

Jinguji Budao tightened the quilt on his body, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the clock beside the bed.It was only 6 o'clock, and the sky outside the window was gray. If it was summer, he would have woken up by this time, but now he still needs to sleep for a while.

The trip to Tokyo left a deep impression on Budao. In the past two days since his return, his sleep quality has been significantly worse. Budao has made up his mind that he will never go to Tokyo unless necessary. Even if he does, he will definitely not go to the rice flower market.

Just as Wu Dao closed his eyes and was about to squint for a while, he heard a soft knock on the door from outside the house.

"Budao, I'm coming in!"

The door of the room was opened, Budao's father pushed the door and entered, Jinguji Budao turned his head to look at his father, rubbed his hair, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"

"Ah Shou came to see you. I just got up to go to the bathroom when I heard him knock on the door."

"Now I asked him to wait in the living room, you get up and entertain him."

Wearing gray pajamas, Wu Gong also looked sleepy. He pointed to the outside of the room, and after confirming that Wu Dao had heard it, he left the room and closed the door behind him.

"Little San? Why did this guy come to me so early?"

"Has the club planned group training? Or is there a practice match to play?"

When Bu Dao heard that it was Mitsui Hisashi who came looking for him, he immediately got up from the bed, grabbed the clothes on the side of the bedside table, quickly dressed and walked out of the room.

Sure enough, at this time Mitsui Toshisaka was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, turning his head to look at the court in the yard in a daze.

"Little San, why are you here?"

"Today the team is going to play a practice match or something."

Wearing slippers, Bu Dao stomped to the sofa, sat down on the sofa chair, picked up the kettle on the coffee table, poured a glass of water and drank it down.

"You guy, you're really lazy when you're on vacation!"

"It's already six o'clock, and you're still sleeping."

Seeing Budao coming out, Mitsui Hisashi shook his head and said, with a disappointed expression on his face, but this disappointed expression didn't hold back for too long, and he himself laughed first.

"Pretentious! What's the matter?" Bu Dao lightly hammered Mitsui Shou's arm with a punch, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, I really have something to do with you."

"I was going to look for you yesterday, but it was a bit late when I got home, and I was sorry to disturb you, so I came in the morning."

"Coach Anxi came for yesterday's training, and he is going to take me today...and you, to visit some junior high schools in the county."

Mitsui Shou suppressed his smile and said seriously.

"Go shopping? Junior high schools in the county?"

"what do you mean"

Although Mitsui Shou said it very euphemistically, Jinguji Budao caught the point of his words at once, and Budao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Ok!"

"Our Xiangbei High School entered the top 8 of the national competition this year. Although we are only a public school, the school leaders still decided to give some resources to the basketball department."

"Our basketball team got two first-class special recruits and three second-class special recruits, which can be used to strengthen the team!"

"The official notice has already been given to Coach Anxi. The special recruitment of students will be decided by Coach Anxi."

"Although it's still early for the new school year, as you know, some strong teams in the county, such as Lingnan, Hainan, and Xiangyang, have actually started preparing for enrollment after the national competition."

"Early contact, early acquisition, and veteran teams like Hainan and Xiangyang will take advantage of the holidays to let promising junior high school students join the team's training early to cultivate a tacit understanding."

"Some players look like you're only a freshman, but maybe they've been training with the team for a year!"

"This year, we in Xiangbei also have such an opportunity!"

Hisashi Mitsui said excitedly that having special recruits in the basketball department means that they can give junior high school students more benefits. Don't underestimate this so-called benefit, it is an indispensable thing for competing for excellent players.

The better the welfare, the greater the right to speak when competing for players. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are young players who do not pay attention to material things, but after all, they are only a small part.And welfare is something that can't be given away just because people don't want it. This actually shows the team's attitude.

"Ohh, unexpectedly, the leaders of this school are so generous. What does this first-class special recruit and second-class special recruit mean? Is there any difference?"

Bu Dao gave Mitsui Juya a glass of water, waiting for the other party's next words.

"It's cool and white! You are too impolite!" Mitsui Shou didn't answer Budao immediately, but pointed to the water cup with a little disgust.

"If the conditions are poor, I will resign, hehe, I will resign."

Wu Dao is a little embarrassed, who has hot water to make tea in such an early morning? !
"Of course you have to be generous. To them, this is a real achievement! A real achievement!"

"Excellent clubs can attract excellent students, and excellent students can feed back excellent clubs. For school leaders, excellent clubs mean the rate of enrollment, and the rate of enrollment means the future!"

"In the past, it was because of the poor performance of the Xiangbei basketball club. If it weren't for Coach Anxi, the basketball club in Xiangbei would have been disbanded long ago."

"Look at our judo club in northern Hunan. It needs people and funds for activities. I heard from Akagi that the judo club has entered the top four this year. Now at this moment, it has already organized outing training."

"When I first entered the school in the first grade, I also thought about using dormitory to enhance the cohesion of the team, but it was not approved!!"

Mitsui Shou seemed to be a little resentful towards the leaders of Xiangbei who treated each other more favorably than others. Recalling the difficulties he had when he first entered Xiangbei, Mitsui Shou sighed on his face.

"Talk about the special move. The focus is off, Xiaosan."

Bu Dao can’t empathize with Mitsui Shou. After he came to Xiangbei, he didn’t care whether the school’s leaders valued the basketball team. For him, as long as his own ability is still growing steadily, that’s enough. As for the others, It doesn't matter.

However, the problem of Xiangbei's weak substitutes troubled Wu Dao a little. There was no way for the team to make a breakthrough.

"Special move!"

"It's very simple, first-class special recruits, tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, and the canteen is free."

"Second-class special recruits, free tuition."

Mitsui Shou said enthusiastically that he was quite satisfied with the conditions of this special move.

"Ah?! That's it?!"

"Is that so?"

Jinguji Budao is still here waiting for Mitsui Shouwen, but Mitsui Shou said this, it's gone, which makes Budao look confused.This so-called special move, is this the condition given?

This can't help but remind Wudao of a well-known private school in China, the basketball team of that school can wrestle with Huipu. Their school recruits people, and free tuition and accommodation fees are just the most basic. That school even gives students subsidies every year. The amount of subsidies is comparable to the annual salary of a white-collar worker.

Compared with that kind of generous conditions, the so-called special move in Mitsui Shoukou now seems a bit hip.

Free tuition?Just use this kind of welfare to lure players?Which player would not be able to withstand such a temptation? !
"Ah?! Isn't that enough? Xiangbei offers the same conditions as many private schools this year, and there are still 5 places left!"

"It's already quite a breakthrough."

"Is that not enough?"

Mitsui Shou and Budo obviously have a big gap in cognition, but after hearing this, Budo also realized that Xiangbei is only a public school after all, and the school leaders may be considered dedicated to such welfare conditions.

Martial Dao was not entangled in this aspect, and quickly focused on today's itinerary.He remembered what Mitsui Shou said just now, what coach Anzai arranged today was to let him and Mitsui Shou go to recruit people together, not to visit junior high school?
Martial arts are quite interested in such things!

"I'm going to wash up and I'll be fine soon."

"Didn't you just say you were going to visit the middle school? Where should you go first?"

Seeing Budou's urgent look, Mitsui Shou smiled and replied, "Don't worry, 7.30 is the best time to be with Coach Anzai. The first stop is of course our alma mater, Wushi."

Budao turned his head and glanced at the clock in the living room. It was still early, but he still hurried back to the bedroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jinguji Budao returned to the living room wearing a tracksuit.

Suddenly, Wu Dao remembered something, and immediately picked up the landline at hand and started making calls.

"Hi! Yohei, I'm Budo Jinguji."

"Go to Yinggi, drag that kid Yinggi up from the bed, and then take him to Wushi Middle School!"

"That's right! It's that Wushi Middle School, just say I said it."

"I have to arrive before 7.30, I want to play, let him pay attention to my clothes and shoes, if I don't see him today, I will make him look good!"

After finishing speaking, Jinguji Budao hung up the phone, sat down next to Mitsui Shou, breathed a sigh of relief, and was in a good mood.

"Sakuragi Hanadao? You don't want Yinggi Huadao to be a special move, do you?"

"Budao, don't make a mistake. The recruiter is Coach Anxi. Although the two of us will go together, we just have a look. Coach Anxi is the one who decides."

"I know Yingmu Huadao. That kid looks pretty good, but he is a novice, right? Coach Anxi will definitely not choose him."

Mitsui Shou also knew Sakuragi Hanadao. After all, he had known Budo for so long. He also knew that Budo played well with a few middle school students, including Sakuragi Hanadao.Mitsui Shouya has only met Sakuragi a few times, and he doesn't know much about Sakuragi.

In northern Hunan, the person who knows Sakuragi best, besides Jinguji Budo, probably has to say Akagi Takenori.

"Of course it's not up to me to make the decision, it's just letting Sakuragi show her face."

"I think Coach Anxi will like him!"

There was a smile on Budao's face, he looked at the time, and his heart became more and more excited. He had never felt that time passed so slowly, and now he couldn't wait for Coach Anxi to see that kid Sakuragi Hanamichi. Budao believed that, As long as Yingmu Huadao shows his talent in front of Coach Anxi, not to mention the first-class special moves, the second-class special moves are absolutely fine.

The conditions of Sakuragi's family are mediocre, and free tuition is also very useful for Sakuragi. If Coach Anxi catches the eye and becomes a first-class special move, then the pressure on Sakuragi's family can be relieved a lot.

While Budo and Mitsui Shou were waiting for the time to pass, Yohei, who had received a call from Budo, had already set off from his home and rushed to Sakuragi Hanadao's house. Yohei was pulled up from the bed.

The bleary-eyed Sakuragi was like a puppet at the mercy of Yohei, and Yohei didn't explain much to Sakuragi, and hurriedly helped Sakuragi stuff the sportswear and sneakers into the bag, pulled Sakuragi up and went out.

When Yohei and Sakuragi arrive at Takeishi Middle School, let alone 7.30, it's not even 7:[-]!
"Hey, Yohei, what did you drag me here for?!"

"You bastard, I almost kissed Miss Haruko!"

There were still traces of saliva on the corner of Yingmu Huadao's mouth, and he had been dragged to Wushi Middle School by Yohei, and finally he was sober, he shook off Yohei's hand that was holding him, and said viciously.

"Hey, hey, get up and wait until later."

"Bringing you here is what Brother Wu Dao said. He said that if he can't see you, he will make you look good."

"I don't know what it is, but according to what he means, he wants to play."

Seeing Yingmu Huadao's fierce face, Yangping quickly spread his hands and explained.

"Brother Wu Dao's arrangement? Play ball!"

"Then let's go and play ball."

Yingmu Huadao's brain circuit is also quite simple. When he heard that it was Budo's arrangement, he immediately accepted it, and when he heard that he wanted to play ball, he immediately walked towards Wushi Middle School.Now that we are here, where else can we play?Of course it's in Wushi Middle School!

"Hey, Huadao, wait for Budou-san, he will be there at 7.30." Seeing that Yingmu Huadao was going to go to Wushi School, Yang Hei immediately pulled him back and said hastily.

But Sakuragi doesn't think so much, it's still early until 7.30, let him stand at the door and wait?How can this be!

"It's okay, it's okay, it's nothing to do with playing ball."

Yingmu Huadao walked directly towards the gate, but the strange thing was that the guard of Wushi Middle School had deserted, and he didn't stop Yinggi, an outsider, and just let Yinggi in.

Yingmu Huadao has long been proficient in such things as jumping into the school. After entering the campus, he pretended to be a member of the school, wandering casually in the empty campus, looking for the basketball court.

Yohei has no way to stop Sakuragi, thinking that he will go to the school gate to join Budo at 7.30, as for Sakuragi
Let it be!

"Oh! This school is really big, and the facilities are much better than Wako."

"Brother Wu Dao didn't say what you're doing here?"

After Yingmu Huadao entered Wushi, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around while looking for the basketball court.Soon, he was attracted by the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor.

"It should be there! Let's go!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said, pointing to the building where the voice came from, and then quickly ran to Wushi's arena.

Seeing this, Yangping could only hurry up and follow.Sakuragi Hanamichi ran to the edge of the arena, lay down on the edge of the window, and looked into the arena.

At this time, the basketball club of Wushi Middle School is warming up. A group of players are running around the court. The sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor is the movement of the players running.

"Hoo, Takeshi's basketball team?! Takeshi asked me to come here." Sakuragi Hanamichi looked into the arena, and suddenly found a familiar figure in the running queue.

"Rukawa Kaede! This guy is from Wushi Middle School!"

"So that's it! Brother Wu Dao asked me to come here to defeat him! I understand!"

The moment Yingmu Huadao saw Rukawa Feng, he immediately understood the meaning of Budao. Of course, it was understanding for Yingmu, but for Budao, it was called misinterpretation.Yohei didn't know about Sakuragi Hanamichi's mental activities. At this time, he was watching the training in the field and said:
"Huadao, let's watch their training right here. Brother Wudao will be here soon, wait for him to come." Before Yangping finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure appearing in his sight.

He turned his head and looked to the side, where was the figure of Yingmu Huadao.

"Hahahaha! Mortals of Wushi, I, Sakuragi Hanadao, will knock you all down!"
