Coach Anzai, wearing glasses, with a full head of white hair, was not tall and had a rather large belly, looking even fatter than the chubby Takamiya Nozomi.
Who would believe that this mascot was actually a member of the national team when he was young!
Moreover, five years ago, he was a basketball coach at a prestigious university in China. At that time, he was known as the "white-haired devil coach" because he was very strict with the players!
How did he end up at the entrance of the judo team's stadium?
Aota Tatsuhiko was a little confused.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had been subdued by Aota Tatsuhiko, was unable to see Coach Anzai due to his limited vision, but he could tell from Aota Tatsuhiko's shocked voice that the person who had just spoken was Coach Anzai!
Coach Anzai smiled kindly and said slowly, "The student lying on the ground, did you just say you wanted to play basketball?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi roared, "That's right! I want to play basketball! Don't think you can convince me just because you're the judo coach! I will never join your judo team! Even if your judo team cripples my arm, I will not give up my dream of becoming a basketball player! I will help Shohoku basketball team make it to the national tournament!"
The cunning Sakuragi Hanamichi has arrived!
Just now, Aota Tatsuhiko only said "Coach Anzai" without specifying Coach Anzai's identity.
Sakuragi Hanamichi simply pretended that Coach Anzai was the judo team's coach!
Upon hearing this, Aota Tatsuhiko looked as if he had swallowed a fly, his expression turning strange. He then hurriedly said, "Hey! Sakuragi Hanamichi, don't talk nonsense. This is the basketball team coach, not our judo team coach!"
Coach Anzai chuckled kindly again and said, "You must be the captain of the judo team, Aota Tatsuhiko, right?"
Aota Tatsuhiko nodded respectfully to Coach Anzai, "Hello Coach Anzai, I am Aota Tatsuhiko, the captain of the judo team."
Coach Anzai nodded and said, "Could you please let go for a moment? I'd like to have a chat with this Sakuragi Hanamichi."
Aota Tatsuhiko had a bad feeling; he felt that if he let go, he might never have the chance to invite Sakuragi Hanamichi to join the judo team again.
But we still have to give Coach Anzai face!
Moreover, Sakuragi Hanamichi is completely unyielding, and continuing to restrict him like this doesn't seem like a solution.
After weighing the pros and cons, Aota Tatsuhiko loosened his grip on Sakuragi Hanamichi.
After sitting up, Sakuragi Hanamichi painfully touched his neck.
It must be said that as the captain of the judo team, Tatsuhiko Aota is indeed very strong in judo.
Surprisingly, even a monster like Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't break free from Aota Tatsuhiko's restraints.
Then, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Coach Anzai.
It really does look like the design in the anime!
They're chubby and quite comical.
Sakuragi Hanamichi continued to pretend he didn't recognize Coach Anzai, asking, "Are you really Coach Anzai from the basketball team?"
Coach Anzai nodded.
Sakuragi Hanamichi then looked at Aota Tatsuhiko and said, "Let's leave our business at that for today. I'm not joining your judo team! As for the photos you have, hmph! I don't care about them. Once Akagi Haruko becomes my woman, I'll have her change into different clothes for me every day!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi got more and more excited as he talked, "Today I'll make her wear a JK uniform, tomorrow black stockings, and red-soled black high heels... Her hairstyle will also be changed frequently, big waves, ponytails, I want to try them all!"
Aota Tatsuhiko: "..."
Coach Anzai: "..."
After a brief moment of shock, Aota Tatsuhiko roared, "Sakuragi Hanamichi! You bastard! How dare you treat Haruko like this! I won't let you get away with this!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi gave a wicked smile and said, "Tch, she'll be my woman then. I can make her cooperate however I want, and that's all I can do. You should just keep these photos hidden. Don't worry, I don't mind."
Aota Tatsuhiko felt as if he had suffered a critical hit of ten thousand points, his heart gushing blood. "Ah!!! Sakuragi Hanamichi! You bastard!"
Enraged, Aota Tatsuhiko made a move to fight Sakuragi Hanamichi for another three hundred rounds!
Sakuragi Hanamichi quickly dodged!
Sakuragi Hanamichi dodged Aota Tatsuhiko's attack!
Sakuragi Hanamichi then taunted, "Hey, Aota Tatsuhiko, our basketball coach is right here! What? You want to bully me, a newbie on the team? Aren't you afraid our Coach Anzai will tell the school about this?"
To be honest, after Sakuragi Hanamichi used Coach Anzai as a shield, Aota Tatsuhiko really didn't dare to rush up and beat up Sakuragi Hanamichi anymore.
Coach Anzai, who had been wearing a kind and gentle smile, suddenly froze.
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi excitedly ran to Coach Anzai's side and politely said, "Hello Coach Anzai! I am Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has just joined the basketball team. Please take good care of me."
Coach Anzai nodded awkwardly.
Looking at Coach Anzai beside him, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but think, "I have to say, I really have an urge to reach out and touch his chubby cheeks. They must feel really nice..."
But Sakuragi Hanamichi only thought that way in his mind. Reaching out to touch an elder's face is extremely disrespectful!
He absolutely cannot do it!
Sakuragi Hanamichi glanced back at Aota Tatsuhiko, giving him a triumphant look, before helping Coach Anzai out the door, saying as they walked, "Coach Anzai, let's go outside and talk."
Not long after leaving, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately glanced back at the judo team's direction. Seeing that Aota Tatsuhiko hadn't followed, he hurriedly explained, "Oh dear! Coach Anzai! What I said to Aota Tatsuhiko about Akagi Haruko was just me trying to annoy him. I'm not that kind of person!"
As he spoke, Sakuragi Hanamichi stretched out his arm to show Coach Anzai, "Look, just now, Aota Tatsuhiko used all sorts of despicable methods to force me to join the judo team, but even though I suffered inhumane abuse, my heart has always been with the basketball team! I will never leave the basketball team! Even if Aota Tatsuhiko uses Akagi Haruko as bait, it won't work!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi spoke eloquently and with great righteousness.
Coach Anzai asked in confusion, "Haruko Akagi? Is she Takenori Akagi's younger sister?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
But then, Sakuragi Hanamichi sighed and said, "Akagi Haruko had already agreed to be my girlfriend, but yesterday a misunderstanding occurred, causing Captain Akagi Takenori to misunderstand me. It was because of this that Aota Tatsuhiko seized the opportunity to lure me into joining the judo team in exchange for helping me win back Akagi Haruko..."
They lie without batting an eye, and they do it with great emotion.
The cunning Sakuragi Hanamichi left Coach Anzai completely bewildered.
