The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 28 The quiet corner of the noisy world

There is 1 and a half seconds left.

Turning back to Sichuan Feng, the next half of the court was like entering a deserted area.

One step past Mitsui Hisashi who was staggering to cover up the defense. Faced with Akagi Takenori and Sakuragi Hanamichi jumping wildly to cover the basket, Lin Dong suddenly stopped jumping and leaned back.

A huge fadeaway jumper, before the last 0.1 seconds of time on the scoreboard, the basketball was thrown steadily.

drop!
The final electronic sound sounded, and the basketball was already released.

Swish!
The basketball drew a high parabola in the air, passed over the empty hands of Takenori Akagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi, and entered the net hollowly.

The time on the electronic scoreboard ended, and the score was finally fixed at 103:82.

"Kanagawa Ankle Terminator!"

"Hahaha, No. 13 will definitely not disappoint!"

"That's awesome! That newcomer from Xiangyang!"

"Xiangyang is so strong! No. 13 is so strong! I feel like he's even more powerful than Fujima-senpai!"

"Be confident and get rid of the feeling."

"Wow! Lin Dongjun! This is so handsome!" Ishihara Yuya jumped for joy on the bench.

"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!"

dong dong dong dong!
The cheers and noise at the scene were deafening at this moment!
only……

No matter how noisy the world is, there are bound to be quiet corners.

Takenori Akagi raised his head and faced the lights projected from above the venue.

The light seemed a bit dazzling at this moment, and he closed his eyes.

...We have the super rookie Rukawa Kaede, we have the returning Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi Ryota, and we also have that guy who is still a newbie but is growing at an astonishing rate.

This Xiangbei team is very strong, stronger than ever before!

He originally thought that this summer would be the beginning of his dream, but he didn't expect that it would end ruthlessly again.

Defeat Hainan?Defeat the mountain king?Or even dominate the country?
Now it seems that it was just a ridiculous dream after all.

His eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist, but this was not in his own bed after all.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and was about to shake hands with his opponent and say thank you to complete this quarterfinal match and the last performance of his basketball career, but unexpectedly he heard a rushing voice.

"Damn Brother Takato!" Hanamichi Sakuragi cursed as he landed. He picked up the basketball from the ground without thinking and ran to the baseline to prepare to serve.

But then, he saw the dejected expressions of the entire team.

"What are you doing? Cheer up!" Sakuragi Hanadao yelled, "Just give him one back!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice was very loud, and his angry and roaring posture could not help but attract a lot of attention from the people who were cheering and talking and laughing in the audience.

Miyagi Ryota reluctantly smiled at Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mitsui Hisashi walked over and patted him on the shoulder, while Rukawa Kaede stood up from the ground and ignored him.

"Gorilla!"

Akagi Takenori sighed secretly in his heart, walked over and hooked Sakuragi Hanamichi's neck: "It's over."

"what?"

"The competition is over, and so is our trial." Takenori Akagi tried his best to keep his voice from trembling: "Go home."

Sakuragi Hanamichi came to his senses and suddenly turned his head to look at the electronic scoreboard diagonally above his back.

Time: 00:00.

Score: 103:82.

"Is there no competition later?" Sakuragi Hanamichi finally realized something and couldn't help but ask.

"No more." Takenori Akagi said: "We have been eliminated, everything is over."

Sakuragi Hanamichi finally froze, holding the basketball tightly with his two big hands.

Lost?eliminated?it's all over?
Can’t play basketball anymore?
He felt that his mind suddenly went blank and he blinked hard, but he still couldn't stop crying.

At this moment, Haruko wasn't even in his mind. He didn't know that he already liked playing basketball so much.

"Ugh..."

"Don't cry! Act like a man!" Takenori Akagi couldn't help himself, but he still pressed Sakuragi Hanamichi's head and said forcefully.

But these words made the guy's tears burst out like a dam. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was still squeezing the ball in his hand hard, but lowered his head, and his whole face was squeezed together. But even though he had closed his eyes hard and clenched his teeth, the tears still bursting from his eyes. It squeezed out crazily from the corner of the eye.

The cheers, whistles, and noises at the scene finally slowly stopped at this moment and became quiet again.

"Woooooooooo!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's cries began to echo in the arena, making the entire arena audible.

Takenori Akagi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He wiped his eyes hard, tried to adjust his emotions, and then gently patted Sakuragi Hanamichi on the head: "Go and line up."

If someone wins, someone will definitely leave.

clap clap clap...

Lin Dong clapped silently.

Clap clap clap clap!
The scene no longer had the noise and excitement just now, and applause began to erupt, including from Xiangyang's cheerleaders, and then the whole audience burst into applause.

“Xianbei is also very good!”

"Come on Shohoku No. 10! You might become Kanagawa's rebounding king in the future!"

"Both teams are very good, please work hard!"

"I didn't expect Sakuragi-san to cry too. I thought he was a bad boy." Matsui muttered in the stands, then turned his head and glanced: "Oh, Haruko, you cried too, okay, okay, let's compete... …”

"This is also the first time I've seen that guy Hanamichi cry!" That guy Takamiya Nozomi in the stands couldn't help but quietly wiped away his tears.

"This is the second time." Mito Yohei said calmly.

He met twice, and the last time was when Sakuragi's father passed away.

It seems that basketball has indeed become a very important thing to him.

However, the one-cell guy seems to have misunderstood something... He lost the game, and there is still next year, he is only in the first grade!
"Hanamichi! Come back next year! You're in the first year of high school!" Mito Yohei shouted down.

"That's it! Come back next year!"

"There are also winter trials!"

The cheers and applause from the audience finally diluted the sadness a little.

"Let's go too." Shigeichi Taoka stood up from his seat. The next step was the quarter-finals in Lingnan: "Go and prepare. The semi-finals are not until June 6th. We have a month of trouble in Xiangyang. It takes time to solve it, but at least win the game in front of you first!”

"Go!" Uozumi responded roughly.

The entire Lingnan team stood up and followed him to the players' tunnel.

Sendō Akira fell back slightly and looked at the two teams lining up on the field. He only paused for a moment when his eyes glanced at Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, who were still twitching their shoulders, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiangyang No. 13. on the body.

"...Lin Dong." He slowly spit out the name, then laughed and said to himself: "Winning or losing doesn't matter, but I really want to fight this guy."

As he spoke, he looked at the Hainan team on the other side who also stood up.

"Hi." Xiandao greeted Mu Shenyi and asked with a smile, "You are the same, right?"

"What's the same?" Mu Shen frowned.

Sendao Akira pouted at Lin Dong's position on the field: "Don't you want to fight that guy?"

"Ha..." Mu Shenyi smiled slightly and glanced at the Xiangyang team below.

"For 17 years, there has been only one king in Kanagawa." Amu said calmly: "That is the king Hainan."

"That's right, our Hainan is the king! Xiangyang is nothing! They will have something good to see next month!" Kiyota Nobunaga roared.

Sendao laughed.

An evasive answer is simply not answering the question. That guy clearly knows what he is asking.

It seems that even Amu is not so confident this time.

This year's Kanagawa Prefecture preliminaries will be a lot of fun.

He ignored Kiyota Nobunaga's shouting and turned his head to look down with interest.

At this time, the two teams have reached the court.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's mood seemed to have calmed down a lot, and the players from both sides shook hands alternately.

"Thank you for your advice!"
