Right before us is the most classic and sacred location in "Slam Dunk".
The tram stop intersection by the sea!
Sakuragi Hanamichi paused and gazed into the distance.
In the distance lies the boundless sea, with blue skies and white clouds, white birds soaring in the air, and a faint salty smell in the air.
Nearby, the conspicuous yellow railings have been lowered, firmly blocking pedestrians, and the green trams are speeding by.
Several people were already standing at the intersection, one of whom was waving at Sakuragi Hanamichi.
However, the person waving was not Haruko Akagi, but Yohei Mito.
Ever since the scheming Sakuragi Hanamichi told Rukawa Kaede that Akagi Haruko was his girlfriend, Akagi Haruko has been holding a grudge about it. Although Akagi Haruko later called Sakuragi Hanamichi to the rooftop to try and clear things up, she still lost to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
But this doesn't mean that Haruko Akagi will admit to it. Although she thinks that Hanamichi Sakuragi has many good qualities, she still needs to be careful about officially establishing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and there are still many things to ask.
Especially matters concerning values and beliefs.
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Mito Yohei waving and immediately put on a bright smile.
So what if there are no women?
With my good brothers here, things are still great! I'm very happy!
However, I must win over Haruko Akagi next time.
I hope that next time I come to this intersection, I'll not only see my good buddies like Yohei Mito, but also Haruko Akagi!
Haruko Akagi is also going to bring me food and drinks, and she's going to feed me!
She had to feed me food and drink in front of my best buddies, and even thoughtfully wipe my mouth with a tissue!
She also had to wear the clothes I liked and have the hairstyle I wanted, just as I requested!
Haha, just thinking about it is so exciting!
"How's your preparation for the flower arrangement? You look great today."
Yohei Mito greeted Hanamichi Sakuragi with a smile.
Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed heartily and declared loudly, "I've been prepared for a long time!"
Takamiya Nozomi then asked in confusion, "By the way, Hanamichi, I've been wanting to ask you this since yesterday. Why did you tell Aida Hikoichi that the day you fought Akagi Takenori, it was because of Akagi Haruko that Akagi deliberately let you win? And you even talked about human relationships and all that nonsense. It's so strange."
The other three brothers also looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a puzzled expression.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance yesterday was indeed very unusual.
Sakuragi Hanamichi smiled and said, "Actually, this is a strategy between Coach Anzai and me. Coach Anzai plans to train me as a secret weapon, so in the early stages I will keep a low profile and not reveal my full strength. In the later crucial matches, I will go all out, amaze everyone, and help Shohoku win the victory."
"Wow? Is it that amazing?"
"Is this even possible?"
The brothers all gasped in surprise.
Sakuragi Hanamichi continued, "Aida Hikoichi will actually be very useful later on. He can help us gather information on other teams, which is why I revealed some exaggerated inside information to him yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Yohei Mito and the others wore strange expressions.
The gossip that Sakuragi Hanamichi revealed to Aida Hikoichi yesterday was just too explosive.
What?! Akagi Takenori kneeling on the ground begging Sakuragi Hanamichi to join the Shohoku basketball team...
There's also Haruko Akagi saying in front of everyone that she won't marry anyone but Hanamichi Sakuragi.
Moreover, it seems that the Akagi family will also provide two luxury houses and a luxury car as part of Akagi Haruko's dowry!
Sakuragi Hanamichi must accept her! Not accepting her would be disrespecting the Akagi family!
Tsk tsk tsk, how could someone say something so shameless...
The key point is that Aida Hikoichi's eyes lit up as he listened, and he kept taking notes as if he had found a treasure.
Do people in the news media really not care about the truth of the matter or the rationality of the logic, and only care about whether they can attract attention?
Seeing the strange expressions on his brothers' faces, Sakuragi Hanamichi, far from being ashamed, winked and grinned lewdly, asking, "How was it? The inside information I told Aida Hikoichi yesterday was pretty explosive, wasn't it?"
"Chirp..."
"cut..."
"What the hell? You were so shameless yesterday, how could you say something like that?"
The brothers all mocked Sakuragi Hanamichi.
However, Takamiya Nozomi's expression immediately changed, and she said with a smile, "However, I really like your shameless style~"
Suddenly, the brothers burst into laughter!
Sakuragi Hanamichi walked towards the tram station with his good friends amidst laughter and chatter.
The other members of the Shohoku team also arrived at the tram station one after another, and after everyone was there, they boarded the tram together.
On the tram, Captain Takenori Akagi led all the team members in a challenge where their buttocks were 1 centimeter away from the seat.
It's actually a movement similar to a horse stance.
But you know what, this exercise really works your waist and legs, and the effects aren't just limited to basketball; it also has powerful benefits in other areas!
However, doing this kind of exercise in public can easily attract strange looks from others.
The other passengers on the tram looked surprised and embarrassed.
However, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who will be embarrassed!
Seize every opportunity to train, no problem!
And he was just quietly lifting his butt while sitting in his own seat, without affecting anyone else.
...
Inside the Lingnan Basketball Gymnasium.
Jun Uozumi is greeting the Ryonan team members.
However, Ryonan's ace player, Akira Sendoh, was not among this group of players.
Without a doubt, Sendoh Akira either went fishing or overslept!
If one could live life like Akira Sendo, that would be true freedom!
Aida Hikoichi approached Uozumi Jun and excitedly reported, "Captain Uozumi, I forgot to mention yesterday that Sakuragi Hanamichi has another very distinctive feature: he has red hair. You'll recognize him at a glance."
Jun Uozumi nodded.
Yesterday, Aida Hiko reported the information he got from Sakuragi Hanamichi to Uozumi Jun, who was completely stunned!
What is that?
How could someone like Takenori Akagi deliberately throw the game to lose to a basketball beginner?
What the hell is this?
Is this still the man I vowed to defeat? When did he fall so low?
I absolutely do not believe that Takenori Akagi is that kind of person, and that Hanamichi Sakuragi, who actually deliberately leaked this kind of information to Hikoichi Aida, is clearly no good.
A basketball beginner? Is this a way to get noticed?
childish!
Then, Jun Uozumi said to everyone, "Listen up, everyone. Today we'll play according to Coach Taoka's plan. I'll be responsible for Takenori Akagi, Sendoh will be responsible for that super rookie Kaede Rukawa, and the rest of you can just play normal defense. As for that red-haired Hanamichi Sakuragi that Hikoichi Aida mentioned yesterday, don't worry about him too much. How much skill can a basketball beginner have?"
The team members shouted, "Go! Ryonan!"
