After the first-year students finished their introductions, the second-year students took the initiative to greet the first-year students.
"Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Yasuda, a second-year student."
"I am Shiozaki, a second-year student."
"I am Kakuta, a second-year student."
All three of them had smiles on their faces and acted very friendly.
Finally, Yasuda Yasuharu added, "There is actually one more person in the second year, but he is not here today because he is still in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately knew who Yasuda Yasuharu was referring to!
It's Miyagi Ryota!
Shohoku's ace point guard!
Ryota Miyagi was hospitalized because he got into a fight with Hisashi Mitsui!
Moreover, Ryota Miyagi's weakness is Ayako, the manager and leader of the Shohoku basketball team!
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant plan: Miyagi Ryota was also a bit of a clueless romantic, and he'd be completely head over heels for Ayako. If he could just help him win Ayako over, wouldn't he be completely devoted to him as a brother?
Yes, that's a great plan.
At this moment, the vice-captain, Kiminobu Kogure, also introduced himself, saying, "I am Kogure, a third-year student, and I am currently the vice-captain of the basketball team."
Akagi Takenori concluded by saying, "Alright, now that all the team members have introduced themselves, please take good care of us from now on."
As soon as the words were spoken, the basketball team's door was opened, and a beautiful figure appeared in everyone's sight.
She was tall and slender, wearing tight-fitting sportswear that showed off her perfect figure, with long, wavy hair and a baseball cap.
At this moment, she placed the two boxes hanging on her shoulders heavily on the ground and gasped a few times.
Then, with a big smile, she greeted everyone: "Sorry I'm late. Hello everyone, I'm Ayako, the manager of the basketball team. I'm a second-year student, please take good care of me."
The first-year students had no idea that the basketball team had such a beautiful member, and their hearts were racing, leaving them at a loss.
Compared to the reserved first-year students, Ayako was very proactive.
She walked up to the first-year students, smiling and looking them in the eye one by one. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm greeting you all. Can't you even answer with a simple 'Nice to meet you'?"
Who can withstand this?
Everyone said, "Please give us your guidance."
Ayako replied with satisfaction, "Yes, very good."
Afterwards, Ayako looked at each of the first-year students, comparing their heights and touching their muscles, as if she were examining their bodies.
When Ayako arrived at Rukawa's side, she exclaimed with delight, "Wow! Rukawa, you really came!"
Rukawa Kaede simply said, "Hello."
Ayako circled around Rukawa Kaede, excitedly saying, "I graduated from Tomioka Middle School just like you! Wow, you seem to have grown taller than before! Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!"
Perhaps it was Ayako's aura that was too strong, because Rukawa Kaede subconsciously nodded and said, "I will try my best."
Ayako then patted Rukawa on the shoulder with satisfaction.
This scene left Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing nearby, completely astonished. As expected of the boss, Ayako! She could even casually manipulate Rukawa Kaede!
At that moment, Ayako came up to Sakuragi Hanamichi and said with a smile, "I know you, red-haired Sakuragi Hanamichi."
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately introduced himself loudly: "Hello, Ayako-neechan, I am Sakuragi Hanamichi from Wako Junior High School. I will train hard and please take good care of me."
elder sister?
Everyone was stunned!
Ayako is indeed the leader, but no one on the basketball team actually calls her "Ayako-neechan" directly.
Even Ayako herself was stunned and stood there for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Ayako burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you're quite something."
But then, Ayako put her hand on Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulder, squinted her eyes and asked, "Hey, Sakuragi Hanamichi, I heard you're a delinquent. Will you make a mess of this place after you join the basketball team?"
Ayako asked these questions with a smile, but to Sakuragi Hanamichi, they sounded icy cold.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's heart was racing!
They're using delinquent youths as an excuse again!
Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately and obediently assured her, "Ayako-neechan, you've misunderstood. I'm not a delinquent. I joined the basketball team to play basketball. I will train hard and help the Shohoku basketball team enter the national tournament."
Ayako looked quietly into Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes without saying a word, but she lowered her hand from his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards!
With a "smack"!
A large paper fan appeared in Ayako's hand without her noticing, and she suddenly slapped the fan against her hand.
hiss!
Everyone around was taken aback!
I gasped!
Ayako stared at Sakuragi Hanamichi, still smiling, and said, "Great! The basketball team needs someone as talented as you. I have high hopes for you. Keep it up!"
The boss's aura is just too powerful!
No wonder she could have such a good-for-nothing like Miyagi Ryota so easily, and no wonder she was able to hold onto her position as the basketball team manager.
Then, Ayako glanced at Takenori Akagi, her eyes seemingly saying, "Done!"
Akagi Takenori understood immediately and said loudly, "Before we begin training, there's something I need to make clear to everyone."
Upon hearing this, everyone listened intently to Akagi Takenori's speech.
Akagi Takenori said in a strong voice, "Our goal this year is to dominate the nation! So the training ahead will be very rigorous, so you need to be mentally prepared, understand?"
The crowd roared in unison, "Understood!!!"
Takenori Akagi shouted: "Shohoku!!!"
The crowd raised their fists and shouted, "Go for it!"
"Go Shohoku!!!"
The fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the entire basketball arena were instantly ignited.
Akagi Takenori then led everyone in warm-up exercises, starting with running laps in the basketball court.
Sakuragi Hanamichi ran with everyone. He didn't try to be the first or the last, but ran in the middle of the group.
He felt it was best to keep a low profile when he first arrived.
Especially after being reprimanded by Ayako, he felt even more determined to change the key figures' impressions of him.
He wants to become a humble, low-key person, yet full of fighting spirit and hard work.
At the same time, he was a little puzzled as to why he hadn't seen Coach Anzai yet.
He tried hard to recall the scene of Coach Anzai's first appearance in the anime, but he couldn't seem to remember the specific details.
Moreover, after arriving in this world, many things are different from those in the anime.
Wait a minute, even Ayako brought up delinquent youths just now.
Coach Anzai isn't going to bring up delinquent youths again, is he?
Oh my god! Don't do this to me!
Is it really that hard to be a good person?
