Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 290 Lingnan's Strongest Fan!
One night is enough for Rukawa Feng, who is strong in heart, to walk out of the shadow of failure.

But Rukawa Feng couldn't accept his weak self, and he had an inexplicable sense of urgency to improve his strength.
The next day.

During Xiangbei's training, Rukawa Feng had already returned to his usual appearance. Although he was still taciturn, he was active and active on the training ground.

Even during the training break, Rukawa Kaede did not suspend training like other players, even if Mitsui Shou persuaded him several times, it was of no use.

Seeing that his persuasion was useless to Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Shou was very afraid that Rukawa Kaede who was training like this would cause trouble to himself, so he couldn't help but approach Jinguji Budo, hoping that Budo could persuade him. In Mitsui Shou's opinion , Rukawa Feng will become like this, all because of martial arts.

"If he trains like this, there will be problems."

"There's nothing wrong with training hard, but if you get injured, it's not worth the candle."

"Budao, let Rukawa Feng have a reasonable rest time! Are you going to persuade him?"

During the break, Mitsui Shou stood beside Jinguji Budo, looked at Rukawa Kaede who was running back and forth in the field, and said worriedly.

"Persuasion? If he listened to the persuasion, he would not be in such a state today."

"Such a guy can't be persuaded to go in!"

"Mitsui, find a way to arrange an external training match."

"Seek some external stimulation, let Rukawa Feng build up his confidence through the competition."

"I can probably understand his thoughts. After yesterday's practice match, Rukawa Feng should be eager to improve his strength."

"Young players at this age will inevitably have such a mentality."

"The more competitive a person is, the harder it is to accept his own weakness."

"Now in his mind, he should be thinking about how to defeat me."

"All the external stimuli, let him stop focusing on me all the time."

Bu Dao did not persuade Rukawa Kaede in accordance with Mitsui Shou's idea. What should be said was already said yesterday. Rukawa Kaede has also stepped out of the shadow of failure, and that is enough.As for Rukawa Kaede's current state, although it was not within Budo's expectations, it was not a difficult matter to solve.

"Little San, let's make an appointment with Lingnan High School and see if they are interested in playing a practice match."

"When the time comes, let Rukawa Feng have some time to show off."

Bu Dao patted Mitsui Shou on the shoulder and gave his own suggestion.

Hisashi Mitsui touched his chin when he heard the words, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded silently.

Their Xiangbei high school basketball club is already the top team in the country. Looking at the entire Kanagawa County, there are only a few high schools that are qualified to play against them in Xiangbei.

Lingnan High School is located on the coast of southern Shonan, very close to them in northern Hunan. At the same time, Lingnan was also the double champion of the IH and WC cups last year, so it is very suitable as an opponent for the practice match.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the practice match, Xiangbei can also know in advance what level Lingnan High School has reached.

After a brief conversation in Budo, Mitsui Shou went to see Coach Anzai to see if Coach Anzai could make corresponding arrangements.

However, it wasn't until Mitsui Shou approached Coach Anxi that Mitsui Shou knew that Coach Anxi actually received an invitation for a practice match from Lingnan High School and Coach Tian Gang this morning. Coach Anxi also readily agreed to this.

Lingnan High School is actually in a similar situation to them in Xiangbei. Lingnan, who has won two national championships in a row, has no opponents in the county. Xiangbei High School can barely become their opponent in Lingnan's practice match.

And the main reason why Coach Tian Gang invited Xiangbei to play a practice match so soon is that Coach Tian Gang also knew the news that Jinguji Budo returned from America!

As for why they received the news so quickly, it has something to do with a freshman in Lingnan.
"The practice match with Lingnan High School is scheduled for next week 5, go to their school to play."

"Mitsui, let me know when the training is over, and tell the players that those who perform well in training this week will have the opportunity to play in the practice match."

Coach Anxi told Mitsui the news of the training match, and then turned his attention to Rukawa Kaede who was training on the field, and did not look away for a long time.

After the rest time, all the players entered the court for training again.

Before, Coach Anxi divided all the players into groups. The three teams with the worst foundation were arranged in the playground, led by Mr. Koguro, to conduct some basic training, while the first-choice players and the players of the second team stayed in the arena. in training.Most of today's training subjects are physical exercises.

After a holiday, many players are slacking off. Coach Anxi plans to use a lot of physical training to get the players into the state quickly.

Physical training is boring and boring, but it is one of the indispensable training items for all players.

And the time passed bit by bit in this tedious and boring training.

In the evening, Mitsui Shou announced his disbandment after announcing the matter related to the Lingnan training match.

The team members dragged their tired bodies and left the arena one after another, but Rukawa Kaede had no intention of leaving. He sat on the sidelines to rest, and when the players were almost gone, he also had a rest. Walked into the court with a basketball, practicing layups, shooting and so on alone.

The afterglow of the setting sun crossed the window, illuminating the room in a dim yellow

The floating warm light swayed with the light swing of the curtains.

Rukawa Kaede was bathed in the setting sun, repeating layups and shots again and again.

"Tear."

After an unknown amount of time, the closed door of the basketball hall was suddenly opened, and a voice of admiration came from the door:

"Wow! Is this the basketball hall of Xiangbei High School? The light is so good in the evening, much better than that of our Lingnan High School's arena!"

Rukawa Feng heard the sound coming from the door, and after completing a shot, he walked towards the basket and turned his head to look at the entrance of the arena.

That is a new face.

Clutching a notebook in one hand, Aidahiko was wearing a black skirt jacket, and was looking curiously at the gymnasium of Xiangbei High School.Soon, Yanichi Aida noticed Rukawa Kaede in the court, and the two looked at each other.

"Ohhh!! You are the captain of Wushi Middle School, Rukawa Kaede!"

"You actually joined Xiangbei High School?!"

Aida Yanichi seemed to recognize Rukawa Kaede, and the moment he saw Rukawa Kaede, he pointed at Rukawa Kaede and exclaimed, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Rukawa Kaede silently looked at Aida Yanichi, without speaking, but his eyes were on Aida Yanichi, and he didn't know the guy in front of him.

"Oh!"

"Forgot to introduce myself."

"Hello, Rukawa Kaede, I'm Yanichi Aida, a first-year student at Lingnan High School. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

As Tian Yanyi said, he stretched out his hand and walked towards Rukawa Feng, looking like he wanted to shake hands with Rukawa Feng.But when he came to Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede glanced at him indifferently, holding the ball in one hand and drooping the other hand by his side, not intending to shake hands with Aida.

"Hahaha!"

"The players in Xiangbei built it really well!"

"I'm here in Xiangbei, I have nothing else to do, just take a look."

When Aidahiko saw Rukawa Kaede's appearance, he laughed aloud, then retracted his hand in embarrassment, and changed the subject.Hearing what the other party said, Rukawa Feng completely lost interest in Aida Yanichi, turned around and faced the basket, and continued his training.

"Is Xiangbei's training today over?"

"The training is over, and Rukawa Feng is still practicing in the arena. It's really hard work! He is worthy of being a player from the mighty Wushi Middle School. I want to learn from him!"

Aida Hikoichi did not disturb Rukawa Kaede's training, and stood silently on the sidelines, thinking in his heart while observing Rukawa Kaede's training.

There was an extra "spectator" in the basketball court, and Rukawa Kaede's training status was not affected. The two of them did not speak, practiced alone, and watched alone. Hikoichi Aida took out a small notebook from time to time to write something on it.

Of course, his actions caught Rukawa Feng's attention. After a projection, Rukawa Feng suddenly asked:
"What are you remembering?"

Rukawa Kaede's abrupt question made Aida Hikoichi, who was writing, couldn't help shaking his hands, and then he looked up at Rukawa Kaede, and replied cautiously:
"ohh"

"It's not a big deal, just count the shooting percentage you just shot."

Aida Hikoichi said with a little embarrassment, and silently closed the notebook while speaking.

Rukawafeng just nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then devoted himself to his training.

Aida Yanyi lightly saw that Rukawa Kaede didn't mean to delve into it, he took a breath, and then opened the small book in his hand.

In Yanichi Aida’s notebook, a simple half court of basketball is drawn, and on the half court on the paper, there are small black dots drawn with a pen. There are more on the right side of the court, less on the left side, and more in the middle distance. , less inside.

This is——Rukawa Kaede's shot training point map, and at the bottom of this page, there are Rukawa Kaede's shooting statistics, three-pointers, mid-range and basket position data are written separately .

Aida Yan watched the ball for a while, and in this way, recorded Rukawa Kaede's training.

"Xiangbei High School was the top eight team in IH last year, and the winter game a year ago also caused a lot of trouble for our Lingnan High School."

"The star players from Wushi Middle School have now joined Xiangbei High School. In future games, they will definitely become one of our most threatening opponents in Lingnan!"

"I have to record it properly! It's time to leave it to senior Xiandao and senior Sigong."

Aida Yanichi was thinking in his heart while recording in his notebook, but he didn't notice at all that a red-haired figure had already stood behind him at some point, poking his head out from behind Aida Yanichi, curious He looked at the notebook in Aida Yan's hand.

Just as Hikoichi Aida wrote in his notebook: "Star player, Kaede Rukawa." When these words were spoken, Hanamichi Sakuragi standing behind him suddenly said:
"Star player? Just this stinky fox?"

"He's not even in the first draft, what are you talking about a star player!"

"Hey, boy, don't write nonsense!"

"Speaking of which, who are you guy?! I don't remember that the team has you as the No. [-] person?"

The sudden appearance of Sakuragi Hanamichi startled Aida Yan, his body trembled, he quickly closed the notebook, and then slowly turned his head to look.

However, what caught his eyes was a blue training suit.

Aida Yanyi looked slightly stunned, and slowly raised his head, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi's face, felt the height of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "It's so high!"

Soon, as soon as Aida Yan came back to his senses, he immediately bowed to Sakuragi and continued:
"Hug hug...sorry!"

"Senior, I am a freshman from Lingnan High School, Yanichi Aida, and I am here to visit Xiangbei."

"I often hear the seniors in the school say that the basketball team of Xiangbei High School has the best strength in the country, so I came here specially to experience it."

As soon as Aida Yan looked at the height of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he subconsciously thought that Sakuragi Hanamichi was a member of the upper grades in Xiangbei, and greeted him politely.

"Lingnan?!"

"People from Lingnan High School, come to visit us in Xiangbei?"

"emmmmmm"

When Sakuragi Hanamichi said this, he pondered for a while, just when Aida Yanichi thought that his purpose of "investigating the military situation" would be seen through by Sakuragi Hanamichi, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

"You boy from Lingnan, you are very knowledgeable! Hahaha!"

"We in Xiangbei want to dominate the whole country! It's worth visiting, hahahaha!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi patted Aida Yanichi's shoulder while smiling, looking very happy.Aida Yan, who was still a little nervous at first, was taken aback when he saw Sakuragi's appearance, and then he was relieved, and laughed along with him.

Rukawa Feng in the field heard the conversation between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Aida Yanichi, turned his head and glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and continued his training.

After Aida Yanyi laughed a few times with Sakuragi, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Senior, you just said that Rukawa Kaede is not the right candidate for Xiangbei?"

"What's going on here? I know Rukawa Kaede's strength very well. With his fame and strength in the country, even if he can't make the starter in Xiangbei High School, he should be a substitute and enter the main election. There shouldn't be any problem, right? "

"Or is it that Xiangbei's strength is so strong that even Rukawa Kaede has been screened out of the main team?"

Hikoichi Aida keenly sensed the point of what Sakuragi said just now, and immediately asked curiously.

Rukawa Kaede couldn't even become the main player of Xiangbei High School?This is a major discovery!
"Senior is too out of touch, Yanichi!"

"My name is Yingmu Huadao, the main election of the first grade in Xiangbei, the future ace of Xiangbei! You should remember it too!"

"As for that fox, hahaha, he didn't make it to the main draft, he belonged to the second team!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi hugged Hikoichi Aida's shoulder familiarly, laughed and said, while introducing himself, he did not forget to step on Kaede Rukawa.

"Clang~"

As soon as the words fell, Rukawa Kaede missed a shot, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket with a soft sound.

And Rukawa Feng didn't go to pick up the ball for a while, turned his head to look at Yingmu Huadao, and said:

"fool!"

"Come to the bullfight!"

Rukawa Feng endured Yingmu Huadao for a long time, and this kid is still exposing his scars in front of outsiders. At this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly to Sakuragi.

"Hmph! Then come!"

Facing Rukawa Kaede's challenge, Sakuragi Hanamichi let go of Aida Hikoichi's shoulder and walked towards the court.

During the one year of training together at Xiangbei High School, the two have played bullfighting countless times. Of course, the rookie Sakuragi Hanamichi is no match for Rukawa Kaede, but with the accumulation of Sakuragi Hanamichi’s experience and the improvement of his basketball skills, His defensive ability is already quite strong.

In the bullfight with Rukawa Feng, although Yingmu Huadao does not take advantage of the offensive end, it is not easy for Rukawa Feng to take advantage of him.

Moreover, Yingmu Huadao has always regarded himself very highly, and Rukawa Kaede has always been his goal of chasing and challenging.

Rukawa Feng's invitation to a bullfight was exactly what he wanted, and it had been more than a month since the last bullfight between the two of them. Sakuragi thought he had grown up again, and planned to verify it on Rukawa Feng.

Aida Hikoichi suddenly heard that Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi were going to have a bullfight, his eyes lit up immediately, and he silently retreated behind Sakuragi Hanamichi, looking at Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede excitedly.

"Bullfight! These two are going to have a bullfight!"

"Rukawa Kaede, the star player of the junior high school era, and the future star of Xiangbei, the duel between these two must be very exciting!"

"I have to remember it, I must remember it!!"
