Sakuragi Hanamichi and others were standing at the entrance of the basketball court.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Ayako, and Miyagi Ryota all appeared at the entrance of the basketball court, followed by Mito Yohei and others.
Although Haruko Akagi's eyes were filled with Sakuragi Hanamichi at that moment, she ran towards Ayako, asking, "Ayako-neechan, what are you all doing here? Is everything alright?"
Ayako patted Haruko Akagi's head and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Miyagi Ryota secretly nudged Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm, glanced at Akagi Haruko, and then winked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, "Hey, I've heard that Akagi's sister is pretty good. This must be Akagi Haruko, right?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately revealed a smug look, and said arrogantly in a low voice, "Of course! How could my woman be anything less?"
Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi Hanamichi added with a smile, "Your Ayako is pretty good too!"
Mutual flattery in business!
Getting it right!
No wonder he's a good brother!
Immediately, Miyagi Ryota and Sakuragi Hanamichi simultaneously let out smug, excited, lewd, wicked, and cheeky laughter.
Haruko Akagi didn't hear Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota's hushed conversation, so this scene puzzled her.
Ayako rolled her eyes at Ryota Miyagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi. She knew all too well the little thoughts between men. She grabbed Haruko Akagi's hand and left, saying, "Haruko, let's go, don't mind these two idiots!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Miyagi Ryota stopped there, not daring to continue their arrogant laughter.
The next moment, Miyagi Ryota noticed Akagi Takenori's gaze. He immediately became serious, walked to Akagi Takenori's side, and then mustered up his courage to say, "Boss Akagi, I'm back!"
Akagi Takenori said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's good that you're back."
Kogure Kiminobu, standing to the side, welcomed Miyagi Ryota with a broad smile, saying, "Miyagi, welcome back to the team!"
Ryota Miyagi smiled faintly at Kiminobu Kogure, "Hello, Kogure-senpai!"
This scene surprised Sakuragi Hanamichi. It seemed that Miyagi Ryota genuinely respected Akagi Takenori, and one could even say that Miyagi Ryota was somewhat intimidated by Akagi Takenori.
After Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Akagi Takenori walk away, he whispered, "Hey bro, I didn't expect you to act like a good boy in front of Akagi-nii. This isn't like you."
Ryota Miyagi glanced around, and when no one was looking, he immediately gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a mournful look, "There's nothing I can do, I really can't beat him."
Sakuragi Hanamichi: "..."
Ryota Miyagi's arrival attracted the attention of everyone on the basketball team. The second-year students, of course, all knew Ryota Miyagi and were well aware of how terrifying his strength was!
Yasuda Yasuharu was Miyagi Ryota's classmate in junior high school, so he was the first to rush to Miyagi Ryota's side. He said happily, "Ryota, has your injury healed yet?"
Ryota Miyagi smiled, nodded, and said, "Yasuda, long time no see. Let's have a one-on-one match later and see if you've improved."
Yasuda Yasuharu awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "You rascal, you're so arrogant as soon as you get back! Although I know I'm no match for you, I still want to have a one-on-one fight with you."
Tetsuji Shiozaki and Satoru Kakuta came up to Ryota Miyagi and greeted him, to which Ryota Miyagi responded with a smile.
The first-year students all looked at Miyagi Ryota with the curiosity of curious children.
Kuwata Jiro, who was the shortest on the team, said in surprise, "That person doesn't look very tall either, but he seems to be very powerful."
Kentaro Ishii adjusted his glasses and said, "I heard from Kogure-senpai that his name is Ryota Miyagi. Don't let his height of only 168cm fool you; he's Shohoku's ace point guard."
"Ace point guard?" Kuwata Jiro was even more shocked. "No wonder even Yasuda-senpai respects him so much."
It's worth noting that before Ryota Miyagi returned to the team, Yasuharu Yasuda was the starting point guard for Shohoku!
In Kuwata Jiro's eyes, Yasuda Yasuharu was already a very good player, but he never expected that an even better point guard would come along, and that he would even dare to call him an "ace"!
Seeing that Miyagi Ryota immediately became friends with the team, Kogure Kiminobu was very happy and said to Akagi Takenori, "Akagi, I didn't expect Miyagi and Sakuragi to be so close. It seems that he and Rukawa Kaede are not bad either."
Akagi Takenori said thoughtfully, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be like this either. It was a bit of a surprise just now, but it's a good thing."
Kogure Kiminobu nodded and said, "Yes! This is certainly a good thing."
Meanwhile, the duel between Miyagi Ryota and Yasuda Yasuharu began.
Yasuda Yasuharu assumed a defensive stance and looked intently at Miyagi Ryota.
Ryota Miyagi confidently dribbled the basketball, a smile playing on his lips and a gleam in his eyes. He thought to himself, "I'm finally touching a basketball again. This familiar feeling is so good."
Bang bang bang!
Ryota Miyagi kept dribbling the basketball, savoring the long-lost atmosphere.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Miyagi Ryota.
Just how good is the legendary ace point guard of Shohoku High School?
Sudden!
Ryota Miyagi has been targeted!
Yasuda Yasuharu quickly adjusted his position to defend!
"What?!" Yasuda Yasuharu's face instantly lit up with shock. "How could this be?! His speed!!!"
With a sudden burst of speed, Miyagi Ryota easily overtook Yasuda Yasuharu!
As Yasuda Yasuharu turned around, Miyagi Ryota had already dribbled the ball to the basket.
Jump!
Layup!
Ryota Miyagi smoothly passed the basketball!
With a "whoosh" sound!
Basketball in the net!
Goal!
Everyone present stared at Ryota Miyagi in shock.
"My God! His speed is incredible!"
"Yeah! Yasuda-senpai was a starter in the game against Ryonan! He was guarding Ryonan's Tomoyuki Uekusa, and even Uekusa didn't seem to be able to shake him off so easily. I didn't expect Miyagi-senpai to be so good!"
"That's incredible! No wonder he's the legendary ace point guard of Shohoku High School."
The first-year students were discussing it animatedly.
Akagi Takenori smiled slightly, "Looks like this kid's in pretty good shape!"
Kogure Kiminobu also laughed and said, "Yes! You played very well just now!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi then approached Rukawa Kaede and excitedly said, "Rukawa, what do you think? I wasn't lying to you, was I? Miyagi is amazing! With Miyagi on the team, our Shohoku team will definitely be even stronger!"
Rukawa Kaede continued to stare intently at Miyagi Ryota, and nodded to Sakuragi Hanamichi in a good mood.
Just then, a chubby figure appeared at the entrance of the basketball court. "Oh? It's Miyagi-kun!"
Ryota Miyagi suddenly turned around and excitedly shouted, "Coach Anzai!"
At the same time, all the players greeted the coach with respect, saying, "Hello, Coach!"
Ryota Miyagi rushed to Coach Anzai's side and said nervously, "Coach Anzai, I, I'm back!"
Coach Anzai flashed his signature amiable smile and patted Miyagi Ryota's arm. "Miyagi-kun, from now on, do your best!"
Coach Anzai simply said something ordinary, but Miyagi Ryota's heart was churning like a tidal wave. He clenched his fists excitedly, "I will do my best!"
