With a "thump".
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was hanging on the basketball hoop, has landed.
Yohei Mito and his gang rushed forward immediately!
Yohei Mito exclaimed, "Wow! Flower arrangement! You're amazing!"
Chuichiro Noma exclaimed, "Yes! I never expected you to be able to dunk so powerfully! That's amazing!"
Takamiya Nozomi said with a smile, "Flower arrangement! You'll have to teach me sometime!"
Oonan Yuji patted Takamiya Nozomi on the shoulder and laughed, "With your height, you think you can dunk? Hahaha..."
The brothers joined in the laughter.
At that moment, Haruko Akagi walked over and said happily, "Sakuragi, congratulations! I can't believe you managed to dunk in just one day! You're amazing!"
Facing Haruko Akagi, Hanamichi Sakuragi put away his arrogant smile and said humbly, "Haruko, I have to thank you! It's because you taught me so well yesterday that I was able to learn how to dunk so smoothly."
The cunning Sakuragi Hanamichi used the most crucial move in his flirting techniques: praising her!
Make her feel that you've changed because of her!
Make her feel that she is always influencing you!
Then she will feel a great sense of accomplishment, and she will especially want to be with you because it feels very comfortable.
It's that feeling, like a gentle spring breeze!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you are strong enough!
At this moment, Haruko Akagi was overjoyed. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just shocked everyone, actually said that I taught him how to dunk.
Haruko Akagi humbly replied, "Actually, it's nothing. I only explained the most basic dunking knowledge. The key is that Sakuragi has talent, and I believe you must have done a lot of training yesterday."
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded and said, "Yesterday I saw you run out, Haruko. I thought it was because I was too stupid and Haruko disliked me, so I practiced by myself for a long time, hoping to gain your approval."
Haruko Akagi immediately felt guilty and explained, "No, no, yesterday I just couldn't help but tell my brother because I saw how good your jumping ability was. It's not your fault, it's mine. Later I realized I should have explained it to you, but I forgot. I'm sorry, Sakuragi."
Sakuragi Hanamichi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Haruko, Haruko, you don't need to apologize to me. If you hadn't taught me how to dunk yesterday, I wouldn't have improved so quickly today."
At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt incredibly satisfied. Although he acted like a sycophant, he was actually in complete control of everything.
It was so cool!
Why was I so stupid back in school?!
If such methods had existed back then, I probably would have gotten married immediately after getting into university! Before even graduating, my kids would be old enough to run errands!
Haruko Akagi felt a little guilty seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi take all the credit, but actually, she felt quite pleased with herself.
At that moment, Kiminobu Kogure walked over.
Kogure Kiminobu gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a thumbs-up and praised, "Sakuragi-kun, you're amazing!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kogure Kiminobu to change his attitude so quickly. Just now he was guarding against him and treating him differently, but now he immediately changed his attitude after seeing him dunk.
It seems that Kiminobu Kogure really cares about the basketball team in every way!
Sakuragi Hanamichi remained humble and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Kogure-senpai. I will continue to work hard."
Sakuragi Hanamichi has made up his mind to establish himself as a humble, hardworking, and highly motivated person within the basketball team!
Kogure Kiminobu was very satisfied with Sakuragi Hanamichi at this moment, and even patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's arm to show his encouragement.
Then, Kiminobu Kogure looked at Takenori Akagi and asked, "Captain Akagi, I think Sakuragi is qualified to join our basketball team. What do you think?"
To be honest, Akagi Takenori's heart had already wavered at this point, and Kogure Kiminobu had already paved the way for him; all he had to do was go along with it and nod in agreement.
However, what no one knew was that the moment Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed Akagi Haruko's hand before his dunk was witnessed by Akagi Takenori, who at that moment wished he could tear Sakuragi Hanamichi apart.
Despite Sakuragi Hanamichi's impressive dunk, Akagi Takenori snorted and said in a deep voice, "I still need to test him myself."
After saying that, Akagi Takenori walked toward Sakuragi Hanamichi with a murderous aura.
Anyone with eyes could see that Akagi Takenori was not in a good state at the moment.
Kogure Kiminobu also noticed, but he couldn't understand why Akagi Takenori would react this way, so he asked, "Akagi, you?"
Akagi Takenori waved his hand and said, "It's alright, don't worry."
Sakuragi Hanamichi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Gorilla, don't be ungrateful. If you push me too far, I'll really dunk you and the ball together on the rim!"
Takenori Akagi walked up to Hanamichi Sakuragi with a basketball in his hand.
The two burly men faced off again.
Takenori Akagi said, "Sakuragi, I'll give you 10 chances. If you can get past my defense and put the ball in the basket even once, you win, and I'll agree to let you join the basketball team."
To be honest, this challenge is very difficult!
But if Sakuragi Hanamichi in the anime can dunk on the gorilla, ball and all, in the end, I can definitely do it too!
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, ready for battle!
He planned to use his ultimate move right from the start!
Let the gorilla be completely humiliated in front of so many people!
But just then, a loud voice interrupted the battle that was about to begin.
A tall, strong man walked over, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity. He looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and said loudly, "Sakuragi! I saw everything. First, he called you a delinquent, then he made things difficult for you in every way. Now that you've shown your strength, he still wants to test you. Since the basketball team's standards are so high, why are you doing this? I don't think the basketball team is suitable for you at all! You should come to our judo team!"
It's Aota Tatsuhiko!
Captain of the Shohoku Judo Team!
Sakuragi Hanamichi recognized the muscular man, but he couldn't understand why Aota Tatsuhiko would appear at this time.
Before Sakuragi Hanamichi could answer, Akagi Takenori angrily shouted, "Aota Tatsuhiko! What do you want to do?"
Aota Tatsuhiko chuckled, looked at Akagi Takenori, and said, "What are we doing? We're here to snatch them, of course! So what if they're delinquents? So what if they fight? Our judo team fights every day! We need people who can fight!"
Then, Aota Tatsuhiko continued to stare at Sakuragi Hanamichi with fervent eyes, "Sakuragi! How about it? Come join our judo team? I've heard so much about you, you're exactly the kind of person our judo team needs!"
