The news of Shohoku basketball team winning the Kanagawa championship quickly spread throughout the entire Shohoku campus.
The entire Xiangbei campus was thrilled.
Some people still can't believe it's true.
There was no way around it, because the Shohoku basketball team had been so insignificant before, they were completely a third-rate team.
The fact that the basketball team has now achieved such a remarkable leap, qualifying for the national tournament as the top team in Kanagawa Prefecture, has truly shocked many people.
Not only that, the students of Shohoku also changed their attitudes toward the delinquent gangs led by Mitsui Hisashi and Sakuragi Hanamichi.
People used to be intimidated by these delinquent youths, but now they applaud them.
This made all the delinquent youths in Shohoku feel very proud.
Full of positive energy.
It turns out that this is a way to gain the approval of classmates!
Kanagawa Shohei Prefectural High School.
Class 7, Grade 1.
Sakuragi Hanamichi rested his head on his arm on the table, gazing quietly at the sky outside, thinking to himself, "The game between Shohoku and Ryonan is over. Next up is the National Tournament. I'm really looking forward to the game against Sannoh..."
"Oh, right, Coach Anzai seems to be arranging for everyone to go to other places to play exhibition matches with other teams. He assigned me 20,000 mid-range shot drills a week, but I already have the ability to shoot mid-range shots."
Thinking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi revealed a smug smile, "Hehehe, this time I'm going to practice my three-point shot!"
"Ring ring ring"
The bell rang for the long break between classes.
Yohei Mito, Nozomi Takamiya, Yuji Oonusu, and Tadashi Noma quickly surrounded them.
Takamiya Nozomi said with a smile, "Hanamichi, do you know? People at school no longer call us delinquents, they call us athletic youths now."
Takamiya Nozomi's tone was clearly filled with pride and self-satisfaction.
However, Oonan Yuji mercilessly exposed his arrogance, saying, "Tch! With your physique? You call yourself an athletic youth? You'd rather lie down on the bottom and let the person on top do the work, right?"
These words caused the brothers to burst into laughter.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was the happiest of them all. It's so great to have such a group of brothers around!
Immediately, Sakuragi Hanamichi raised an eyebrow and began to take control of the conversation.
"You guys don't know about that match!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi began his performance with extremely exaggerated facial expressions and animated gestures.
"That guy Afu insisted on recognizing me as his older brother, but I said no way, I'm in the middle of a match! What nonsense are you spouting? Is this some kind of tactic by Fukuda Kichijou to distract me? Then Afu said he'd kowtow and become sworn brothers with me after the match... Ugh, so annoying..."
"At that moment, Uozumi was right behind me, and I yelled, 'Uozumi, you're going to die!' Uozumi was so scared that he peed his pants! Did you guys notice? Uozumi had actually already wet his pants!"
"When Sendoh went for the layup, I could have easily blocked it, but why didn't I? Hmm? Why didn't I? That's because Sendoh secretly told me he was going to take me fishing at a place with abundant resources, so I went easy on him and let him go... Otherwise, do you think he could have made that shot?"
The shameless Sakuragi Hanamichi boasted and reenacted the Shohoku vs. Ryonan match in his own unique way.
At first glance, it sounds intimidating.
However, Takamiya Nozomi and his brothers knew Sakuragi Hanamichi's character all too well.
This guy, he brags without thinking!
Extremely thick-skinned!
Therefore, at this moment, Takamiya Nozomi and the others rolled their eyes and ignored Sakuragi Hanamichi's words.
Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed completely oblivious to his brothers' reactions. In the end, he let out a long sigh, adopted a posture of seeking defeat, and said, "That day, with my hands in my pockets, I didn't know what an opponent was!"
Upon hearing this, Takamiya Nozomi could no longer hold it in and made a vomiting motion, gagging.
Sakuragi Hanamichi laughed at himself, and said with a laugh, "You fatso! What? You don't believe me?"
Takamiya Nozomi stated frankly, "That's right! I just don't believe it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sakuragi Hanamichi wrapped his arm around Takamiya Nozomi's neck.
The two immediately started playfully fighting.
Just then, three girls from other classes appeared at the classroom door.
They held beautifully folded cardstock in their hands, their pretty faces slightly flushed, seemingly quite shy.
However, they still mustered up their courage and entered the classroom together, coming to the side of Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others.
"Sakuragi-kun~"
The three girls actually shouted out Sakuragi Hanamichi's name in unison.
Mito Yohei and the others were taken aback at first, and then immediately let out a strange cry.
This made the three girls even more shy.
For Sakuragi Hanamichi, this scene was all too familiar. He didn't even need the three girls to say anything; he knew exactly what they wanted to do.
It's just helping Rukawa Kaede deliver a love letter.
Sakuragi Hanamichi carefully examined the three girls in front of him; they were all quite good-looking.
It's developed very well; it fits perfectly with one hand on it.
Hmm, not small!
Sakuragi Hanamichi glared at Takamiya Nozomi, who had a lewd smile on her face, and said, "Stop messing around, she asked me to help deliver a love letter to Rukawa Kaede!"
Then, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the three girls, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you deliver the love letters to Rukawa Kaede, but I can't guarantee whether he'll even read them."
But before he could finish speaking, Sakuragi Hanamichi noticed that the three girls' expressions had changed.
The three girls looked anxious and said, "Ah~ no, no~"
Sakuragi Hanamichi frowned.
Immediately, the three girls hurriedly placed the beautifully crafted cards in their hands on Sakuragi Hanamichi's table.
"Sakuragi-kun, I'm Ohashi Miku."
"Sakuragi-kun, I'm Ogawa Asami."
"Sakuragi-kun, I'm Shiina Yuna."
When the three girls introduced themselves, their eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.
It was an expression of adoration!
This left Sakuragi Hanamichi completely bewildered.
After introducing themselves, the three girls, their faces flushed, hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked down and saw the following words written on the card: "Genius, Sakuragi Hanamichi, recruited~"
These three love letters weren't written to Rukawa Kaede, but to Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Sakuragi Hanamichi was completely dumbfounded!
You two may have great curves in all the right places, long legs, and be very pretty, and your eyes are only for me... But I already have Haruko! I'm very loyal!
Thinking it over, Sakuragi Hanamichi quietly slipped the three love letters into his schoolbag.
Hmm, I'll secretly watch it when I get home tonight.
