People are often misled by what they are good at.
Or rather, it's a failure to understand oneself correctly.
When Sakuragi Hanamichi first used his signature "butt kill," it shocked the entire audience.
Sakuragi Hanamichi saw everyone's reactions and was naturally very pleased with himself.
Little did he know that he would gradually forget his original aspirations because of this.
The purpose of boxing out is to grab rebounds, not to win just because you've boxed out.
It's not that if you do a certain move in a flashy or eye-catching way, you're the MVP.
Sakuragi Hanamichi unknowingly fell into this trap. Every time he used his "buttock kill," he seemed to hear the gasps of the audience and see their shocked expressions.
He would feel a great sense of accomplishment because of this.
So when he used his "butt-butt kill" on Akagi Takenori, all he was thinking about was how to give Akagi Takenori a headache, how to push Akagi Takenori away, and how to shock the audience with his electric motor.
As for rebounds, he subconsciously believed that as long as he defeated Akagi Takenori with his "butt kick," the rebounds would be his for the taking without much thought.
But it was precisely this mindset that prevented him from fully concentrating on grabbing rebounds.
He even believed that his timing for jumping was correct!
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Akagi Takenori in shock.
Akagi Takenori patted the basketball and slowly said, "It seems you understand what I mean, Sakuragi Hanamichi. You must remember that in basketball, all the moves and special techniques are for getting the ball and for shooting it into the hoop. Otherwise, no matter how fancy or stylish your moves are, they are useless."
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded heavily, and he was very grateful to Akagi Takenori.
"Captain Akagi, please practice rebounding with me a little longer."
Sakuragi Hanamichi respectfully made the request.
Akagi Takenori nodded and said, "Okay."
...
"Yohei, I haven't seen Hanamichi lately. Could it be...?" At this point, Takamiya Nozomi paused, "Could it be that he's really been going on dates with Akagi Haruko every day?"
Upon hearing this, Oonan Yuji and Noma Chuichiro perked up and stared wide-eyed at Mito Yohei.
Yohei Mito smiled and said, "I don't know if he's on a date with Haruko Akagi, but I do know he's probably still training hard at the basketball gym right now."
Noma Tadashiro nodded and said, "Yes, it's possible that he's training at the basketball gym. Speaking of which, I never expected that Hanamichi would like basketball."
Takamiya Nozomi said dismissively, "Tch~ It's all because of Akagi Haruko. With Hanamichi's character, how could he genuinely like playing basketball?"
Oonan Yuji said, "No matter what, the changes in flower arrangement are indeed significant."
Yohei Mito glanced in the direction of the basketball court and then suggested, "Why don't we go find Hanamichi and cheer on this spirited basketball player?"
Takamiya Nozomi said with a smile, "Well, what can I do? I'm brothers with Hanamichi, so I'll just ignore my girlfriend for now."
girlfriend?
The brothers were all taken aback.
When did this fat guy get a girlfriend?
"You bastard, you actually found a girlfriend behind our backs?" Oonan Yuji asked incredulously.
Chuichiro Noma urged, "Quickly, tell me, which class is she in? What's her name? What does she look like?"
Gao Gongwang stood tall and proud, pushing up his glasses with his hand, looking like a composed and successful man with extraordinary demeanor.
Seeing this, Oonan Yuji laughed and scolded, "Hey, you fatso, why are you still pretending?"
Nozomi Takamiya raised an eyebrow and said, "It's the adorable Yua Mikami."
Yohei Mito, Yuji Oonan, and Tadashi Noma were instantly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the brothers burst into boos.
"Chirp..."
"cut..."
"What the heck..."
At the same time, the three brothers also understood what Takamiya Nozomi meant.
Yuji Oonan spoke first: "In that case, I'll ignore Jessica Kizaki in her school uniform for now."
Noma Chuichiro nodded solemnly and said, "Well, Iioka Kanako has already prepared dinner for me. It looks like I'll be going home a little late again."
Yohei Mito laughed and said, "Yeah, me too. Aoi Tsukasa originally wanted to come to the school to see me, but I sent her back."
moment.
The four brothers burst into laughter.
Just then, a peeking figure appeared in Mito Yohei's line of sight.
Yohei Mito's smile vanished, and he squinted at the furtive-looking guy not far away. "Hey, guys, look over there."
The three brothers, who were laughing heartily, immediately stopped and followed Mito Yohei's gaze.
"Let's go take a look." Mito Yohei led his brothers toward the man.
The school uniform worn by that suspicious person was clearly not from Shohoku High School. He was not tall, not exceeding 1.7 meters, probably around 165cm.
Takamiya Nozomi asked with a smile, "Hey, bro, you're not from Shohoku, are you?"
Suddenly surrounded by four men with ill intentions, the man was so frightened he wet himself. "I...I just wanted to see Shohoku's basketball arena..."
Basketball court?
The four brothers exchanged glances.
Now that Sakuragi Hanamichi is a member of the basketball team, they will have to get involved in anything related to the basketball team!
Yohei Mito asked, "Excuse me, which school are you from? What are you doing at the Shohoku basketball gym?"
The man said somewhat nervously, "I am Aida Hikoichi from Ryonan. My dream is to become a basketball reporter, so I wanted to see what the players of the Shohoku basketball team are like."
Lingnan?
Yohei Mito immediately narrowed his eyes.
If I remember correctly, Shohoku is going to play a practice match against Ryonan next. Why is Aida Hikoichi appearing on Shohoku's campus at this time?
Could it be that he's here to gather intelligence?
Thinking of this, Yohei Mito immediately gave his brothers a look.
Takamiya Nozomi and Oonan Yuji instantly understood and nodded slightly to Mito Yohei.
Takamiya Nozomi and Oonan Yuji walked up to Aida Hikoichi with smiles on their faces, one on each side, and put their arms around Aida Hikoichi's shoulders.
Noma Tadashi stood behind Aida Hikoichi.
Yohei Mito stood directly in front of Hikoichi Aida, looking straight at him.
Aida Hikoichi was completely dumbfounded!
He sensed danger!
Yohei Mito coldly questioned, "You wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by Ryonan, would you?"
Yohei Mito rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and clenched his fists.
Mito Yohei stared at his fist, then smiled and said, "Aida Hikoichi, is it? Are you going to confess willingly, or do you want the four of us brothers to give you a warm welcome before you do?"
"Confess...confess? Confess what? Brother, I...I didn't come here for any other reason..."
Hikoichi Aida was almost in tears!
How could Shohoku be like this?
