Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

After the national competition, the Xiangbei high school team members who won the championship did not rush back to Kanagawa Prefecture in a hurry, and successfully "dominated the country", and the long-cherished wish of the third-year team members was successfully fulfilled.

Without this pressure, Mitsui Shou and others completely let themselves go. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, they began to "shopping", "eating", "shopping" and "eating" in Hiroshima.

Mitsui Kotoshi, whose family conditions are a little bit more favorable, waved his hand, and the food, accommodation, and entertainment of the Shonhoku players during the few days in Hiroshima were all paid by Mr. Mitsui of the Mitsui Foundation.

Players with average family conditions like Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga were very excited when they heard Mitsui Shou's words, and they actually became Mitsui Shou's followers during the period after the game, eating, drinking and having fun with Mitsui Shou and the others , completely indulged himself.

But in the final analysis, the players in Xiangbei are all high school students, even if they indulged, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Several well-known restaurants near the gymnasium have left traces of players from Xiangbei High School.

After Mitsui Shou led the team members to play wildly for a few days, Xiangbei High School officially boarded the train back to Kanagawa Prefecture.

On the fast-moving train, there was silence in the carriage.

During the game stage, the Xiangbei players were actually under a lot of pressure. After the pressure was completely released after the game, the players could feel deeply tired one by one.

At this time, in the carriage where the Xiangbei team members sat, the Xiangbei team members leaned their heads on the backs of the seats and fell into a deep sleep.

Jinguji Budao sat by the window, dozing off while watching the scenery outside the window with his chin resting on his hand.

A physical monster like him can obviously feel the decline in his state after going through back-to-back national competitions. This is not physical exhaustion, but more, psychological exhaustion.

And this kind of mentality will also directly affect the performance of body functions. Wu Dao's current listless appearance is affected by this "mental fatigue".

Sitting next to Budo Jinguji was Mitsui Hisashi.Unlike the listless Jinguji Budo, the current Mitsui Shou is full of energy.

On the small table in front of him, there was a half-meter-high national competition winning trophy. Mitsui Shou held a small rag in his hand and wiped the trophy on the table carefully.

Obviously this trophy is new, and the top layer of the trophy is not stained, there is no dust at all, but Mitsui Shou wiped it non-stop, sometimes even breathing "ha" at the trophy, looking like a baby .

"Squeak."

The rag rubbed against the trophy, making a slightly sharp sound.

After going on for a long time, Jinguji Budao finally turned his head helplessly, sighed softly, and joked to Mitsui Shou:

"Little San, it's already very clean."

"Stop wiping."

"If you wipe it again, the paint will be wiped off by you."

Mitsui Shou, who was sitting next to Jinguji Budao, seemed to have not listened to Quan Budao's ridicule, and asked nervously:
"Did the paint come off?"

"Where?! Where did you erase it?!"

Mitsui Shou focused all his attention on "wiping the trophy", this guy only listened to half of Jinguji Budao's words.
"."

"I mean, if you keep rubbing it down, the paint will come off."

Jinguji Budao gave Mitsui Shou a speechless glance, held his chin, turned his head to look at Mitsui Shou who was carefully checking the trophy, and continued jokingly.

However, Mitsui Shou didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Budo's words, but instead replied solemnly:
"No, this trophy is painted with gold paint, it is very strong!"

"Without sandpaper, it won't go away at all!"

While speaking, Mitsui Shou seemed to "see" the "dirty" surface of the trophy again, picked up a rag, and wiped it carefully.

After a long time, Mitsui Shou looked at the trophy that was so bright that his face could be reflected, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Little San, is this trophy so important to you?"

"Basketball has a long way to go, but it's just a national championship. Is it necessary?"

"You will definitely be able to get a more valuable trophy than this trophy in the future."

After all, Jinguji Budo is not a native of Neon High School, although he, like Mitsui Shou and Akagi, hope to lead Xiangbei to win the championship.

But after winning the championship, Wu Dao has no so-called "obsession" with this matter.

In fact, he couldn't understand what the champion of the high school county competition was like in the eyes of high school students like Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi.

This trophy can be said to be the "witness of youth" in the whole life of Mitsui Shou and others.

The value, to them, is immeasurable.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What is 'the winner of the national competition', 'just'?"

"This is the national champion!"

"After all these years, I finally got it!"

"With this, my high school career is considered complete!"

Mitsui Shou was quite dissatisfied with Jinguji Budao's indifferent attitude, and retorted aloud.Then, holding the trophy on the small table with both hands, he sighed softly.

"Yes, after all, I have worked hard for it for so many years."

"Now there is a good result, which is not bad."

When Bu Dao heard Mitsui Shou say "so many years", he was able to empathize somewhat and nodded.Then Budo seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked Mitsui Shou:
"Speaking of which, what are your plans next?"

"You are now in the third year of high school. The University of Tsukuba should have invited you before. Are you going?"

"Or, go to another university? Back in Kanagawa Prefecture, there should be many universities looking for you, how about it, do you want the university you want?!"

The school system of Nihong is a little different from that in China. It seems that in China, at this time, the senior three students must have already filled out their volunteers, right?But in Nihong, the admission to higher education is in the beginning of spring, usually in February and March, and you will report to the school in April.

"Special students" like Mitsui Shou, can determine the school he will go to in the future as early as the first two semesters of the third year of high school.

It is foreseeable that Mitsui Shou, who helped the team win the championship and performed brilliantly in the national competition, will definitely be favored by more colleges and universities.This summer, Mitsui Shou may become very busy.

"Intend?"

"Plan!"

Hearing Budo mention this matter, Mitsui Shou raised his head with some emotion, looked at the ceiling of the train, and fell silent.

During this period of time, Mitsui Shou was actually avoiding talking about this matter. If possible, Mitsui Shou really wanted to be teammates with Budo and the others, and continued to play like this.

But the reality is always rolling forward, and Mitsui Shou could not escape by just evading. After all, he was going to leave Xiangbei High School and go to a higher place.

"Budao, I don't plan to retire this summer, I still want to continue playing and participate in the autumn and winter games with my teammates!"

"I plan to accept the invitation of the University of Tsukuba in advance and play at the University of Tsukuba in the future."

"In this way, I don't have much pressure on cultural lessons."

"Even, I want to play professional basketball!"

The professional basketball in Mitsui's context does not refer to the national team, but the NBA.

The player training system of Nihong is very different from that of Huaguo. The youth training here of Nihong is actually to call together a talented high school student and then practice together. The essence is to rely on campus basketball selection good players.

However, the player training system in Huaguo is different. In Huaguo, basketball players are specially trained, such as campus basketball. Players who play in campus basketball games will not be recognized by coaches with national prefixes at all.

All provincial teams are echelon construction, and talented children have already started professional special training when they were teenagers.

Among the players in the school, there is no such thing as someone whose talent and strength surpass the youth training system.Even if there are occasional people with outstanding talents, there is a high probability that parents will not let their children give up their studies and take the single-plank bridge of "professional basketball".

This is still the case in Huaguo, an Asian basketball powerhouse. In a place like Neon, there is very little living space for professional basketball players.

The young Mitsui opened his mouth and was about to play professional basketball. If others heard it, they might ridicule Mitsui for being overconfident.However, Bu Dao didn't mean to ridicule Mitsui Shou's thoughts. Instead, he nodded seriously and said:

"Pro basketball!"

"Little San, I suggest you go out and fight, don't stay here."

"There are no ferocious animals in the zoo."

"I plan to play for another year and go out to play. Here, there are not many things I want to pursue."

"In this year, I plan to settle again."

Jinguji Budo heard that Mitsui Shou planned to take a career path, and gave his advice seriously.The reason why he is still playing here is because there is still an opponent here that he has not been able to completely defeat.

Shinomiya Tianno of Lingnan High School, Jinguji Budo intends to completely defeat the other party, and then go to the United States to study for senior year, yes, not third year, but senior year.

Jinguji Budo intends to show his talents in a year after going there. If he can get the favor of the NBA in high school, then Budo will directly participate in the draft as a high school player.

If his talent fails to attract the attention of the NBA, Budao will go to a university in the United States safely, find a strong school to play, and see if his strength and potential can get attention.

In today's era, people of yellow race are discriminated against in the sport of basketball. Budou Jinguji knows that his path will be very difficult, but he will definitely go on this path!
As for going back to China to play youth training first, and then log in to the NBA in a detour, this plan has already been rejected by Budao itself.

He was afraid of carrying some inexplicable terms on his back.

The conditions in the martial arts school are not bad, so there is no need to take these detours.

If you don't have the talent and strength to play in the NBA, and you have thought about martial arts, then you will stop playing professionally, take over the family business well, and go back to your country to "wholesale" the land.

If there is no way to chase your dreams, then it’s okay to lie flat and be a salted fish.

"Are you going abroad to play?"

"You are right, but I have to think about this matter carefully."

"I had a trial training there for a while, and the living environment of Asians is quite harsh."

Mitsui Shou seemed to recall something, and said with a little emotion.

"On the basketball court, after all, it is the place where the ball speaks."

"As long as you are strong enough, opportunities will always come!"

Jinguji Budao tapped the table lightly and said with a smile.He is still optimistic about the future. Compared with other aspects, basketball is already a very fair thing.

"Well, I'll think about it." Mitsui Shou nodded, lowering his eyelids slightly, as if he was seriously considering Budo's words.

When the two were talking, Coach Anzai, who was dozing in the seat behind Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budo, opened his eyes, pushed his glasses, did not intervene, and only sighed invisibly.

There are players who plan to go down that path.

Whenever this happens, coach Anxi will think of the talented player he once coached.

It's just that compared to Tanizawa, the two high school students Mitsui Shou and Jinguji Budo are more mature today!
But the road is difficult, and it will not become easier because the players mature. What Budo and Mitsui Shou will face in the future will be violent storms!

Rukawa Feng, who was sitting not far away, also heard the conversation between Bu Dao and Mitsui Shou.Although Rukawa Feng has the idea of ​​playing in the United States in his mind, the idea is not so strong and urgent.

Rukawa Feng's idea is also very simple. In his opinion, even the "peak" like Jinguji Budo has to settle for a year before going abroad to play. What is a player of his level going out in such a hurry? !

He just needs to keep getting stronger until he surpasses Jinguji Budo!
The carriage fell into silence again, the players were resting, Mitsui Hisashi was contemplating, and Jinguji Budao was also tired lying on the table at this moment, intending to take a nap.

The train was running on the track at high speed, carrying the players from Shonhoku back to Kanagawa Prefecture.

After the Xiangbei players returned to Kanagawa, Coach Anzai announced their disbandment and gave the players a ten-day holiday.

After the holiday, the Xiangbei team members will end their holiday early and start training to prepare for the Autumn National Sports at the beginning of the autumn school.

During this time, Mitsui Shou also made a decision. After discussing with his family, he decided to plan to go abroad in advance.At the same time, after making up his mind, he found Coach Anxi and asked Coach Anxi for his opinion.

Facing Mitsui Shou, coach Anzai didn't say anything against him, he just let Mitsui Shou learn English well, and it would not be too late to go abroad. The implication is that coach Anzai supported Mitsui Shou's plan to travel to the United States.

A child from a family like Mitsui Shou may be in a mess in other cultural subjects, but he doesn't have to worry about his English ability at all.

Therefore, on the day when Xiangbei resumed training, Mitsui Shou appeared in the arena wearing regular clothes, and announced his plan to retire with the players.

Mitsui Hisashi, who retired as the captain, handed over the "baton" to Jinguji Budo, who was in the second grade and became the new captain of Shonhoku High School.

At the same time, at the same time as Mitsui Hisashi announced his withdrawal from the club, there were third graders Akagi Takenori, Chiba Oishi, Kigure Konobu and others.

Both Chiba and Mu Mu belong to the kind of players with average talent. Even if Xiangbei wins the championship, no university will invite them in advance. Therefore, he withdrew from the department and planned to concentrate on preparing for the entrance examination.

As for Akagi Takenori, the coach of Fukasawa Sports University had private contact with Akagi, and the two sides also reached a preliminary intention.This summer, Akagi Takenori will not train in Shonhoku, but will go to Fukasawa Sports University to participate in their team training in advance.

At the same time, first-year Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi, and second-year Miyagi Ryota all received invitations from the Neon Youth Training Team to participate in training camps.

Although Wu Dao was also invited, he refused.For him, that kind of combined training is useless at all, so what should he do? !

So when Mitsui Shou and other third-years announced their retirement, two first-years were absent from the team~
This summer, there has been a huge change in the personnel of Xiangbei High School!
