The showdown between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede has lasted for a long time. Rukawa Kaede struggled to win the 10th goal. His physical fitness declined very quickly. Although he was not blocked by Sakuragi Hanamichi in the subsequent attack, he had not been able to score a goal for a long time due to physical strength and Sakuragi's defense.

Looking at the panting Rukawa Kaede and the sweaty Sakuragi Hanamichi, Tano knew that it was time to stop the duel.

"Kandao, Rukawa Kaede!" Tian Ye's shouting made the two people in the field stop at the same time, and looked at Tian Ye together.

Tian Ye walked into the venue and said to the two of them, "Let's stop here today."

"Kandao, you have to go to Ryonan with me to participate in the rest day training. Now it's over, so you can't be late." Tiano turned his head and said to Sakuragi.

"Damn it!" Hanamichi Sakuragi knew that he could not win Rukawa Kaede. Persisting for 10 minutes in his understanding could not be considered a victory. If he actually scored 13 goals, he would be a winner. With his self-esteem, he would not accept the already unequal victory conditions.

Hana Sakuragi stared at Rukawa Kaede's face and said for a long time: "Next time! I must beat you down."

After saying that, Sakuragi walked to the sidelines to sort out his backpack.

Tano noticed that Sakuragi Hanado's mentality had changed. According to his personality, he should have had a wave of trash talk. It seems that this duel made Sakuragi more mature, and Rukawa Kaede put a lot of pressure on him, and losing to people other than Tano and Sendo made Sakuragi very unhappy.

Rukawa Kaede saw Sakuragi Hanao walking to the sidelines to sort things out, wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, turned to Watano and said, "How long will it take if you want to score 13 goals on his head?"

"I?"

"It takes about seven minutes for my teammate Xiandao to say. My words..."

"I haven't beaten, I don't know~"

After Tianye smiled and answered, he stopped chatting with Rukawa Kaede anymore. He packed up his own things and walked out of the basketball court with Sakuragi Hanao. Rukawa Kaede stood there without moving. He watched Tianye and Sakuragi Hanao leave before he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he sat under the basketball rack.

"It only took 7 minutes, it's really strong!" Rukawa Kaede murmured to himself, falling into his own thinking.

…………

Tianno and Sakuragi Hanao were walking on the way to Lennan High School. The breeze blew, slightly drying the sweat from Sakuragi Hanao's clothes.

"Sakuragi, how about it? That Rukawa Kaede is okay?" Tian Ye said to him as he looked at the silent Sakuragi.

"Yes." Sakuragi just nodded, then fell into silence again.

"Kandao, I said that as long as you can score a goal on Rukawa Kaede's head and then persist in unbeaten for 10 minutes, you can challenge Oda. Now you have done it, you can find revenge on Oda." Tano saw Handao silently, so he found a topic he was interested in.

"Hmm?" Hanado suddenly looked up at Tianye.

"No, Brother Tianye. I couldn't meet the request you gave me at that time. When I can score a goal on your head and block your attack, I will go find Oda."

"I, Sakuragi Hanamichi, do what I say!"

Sakuragi thought for a moment and said to Tianye like this. The resolute expression made Tianye stunned. The normal operation should not be - "Hahaha, I can finally take revenge on Oda. I must beat him all over the ground for teeth!". Is that?

But in just a moment, Tianye laughed. He knew where the transformation of the Hanadao was. In terms of basketball, Sakuragi Hanyao already had a strong desire to win and lose. Sakuragi Hanyao, who had been accustomed to being in duel with Tianye and Sendo, actually had a very strong desire to win and lose. However, that desire to win and lose was not revealed in front of Tianye and Sendo.

"Hahaha, Sakuragi, then this road may be very difficult, you have to be prepared." Tian No was happy for the transformation of the Hanamichi.

"I will definitely do it! Because I am a genius!" Sakuragi said firmly.

"Sakuragi, you might be a fucking genius." Tian Ye laughed.

…………

Not long after, Sakuragi Hanado and Tano arrived at the basketball hall of Lennan High School. As a private school, Lennan High School also requires club activities on holidays, especially for the top four teams in the county like the basketball team. Lennan's school leaders still attach great importance to the basketball team, although they are incomparable to baseball.

"Good morning, field."

"morning."

Tianno, who came to the venue, greeted the players. Before Coach Tarooka had arrived, Tianno took a ball and took Sakuragi Hanao to the empty venue on the side. The match between Sakuragi Hanao and Rukawa Kaede in the morning made Tianno re-recognize the word "talent". He decided to speed up Sakuragi Hanao's training plan appropriately and teach him to change directions and turn around in the current gap.

"Kando, you only scored one goal in the duel with Rukawa Kaede today, and at other times you were either intercepted or blocked."

"Before Coach Taroka hasn't come yet, I'll teach you how to change direction first."

"Before this, you follow me to do a set of dribbling movements, and then start the next step of practice after you become proficient."

Tano took Sakuragi Hanada as the low left and right hand dribble in front of him. This kind of practice can exercise Sakuragi Hanada's ball nature and make his breakthrough more threatening. Sakuragi's dribble practice has never given up these times, and his foundation is still good.

Not long after Sakuragi's practice was carried out, Coach Tarooka came to the venue and gathered all the players. The guy Sendo came in with Coach Tarooka's butt, and he was almost late.

Coach Tarooka glanced at the players in the venue and smiled knowingly when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi's sweat-soaked jersey.

"Students! We are about to usher in this year's county competition!" After the team members lined up, Coach Taroka began to speak.

"Our Lingnan High School was the semi-finals of the county competition in the previous year. This year, I have more confidence in you."

"I believe that with your strength, you can definitely enter the country! Hainan, the strongest, has already lost to us during the practice competition, and Xiangyang is not afraid of it."

"This year! Our goal is a national champion!"

Coach Taoka inspired the players on the field. Even Hanamichi Sakuragi, who is not a member of Ryonan, was in a state of great excitement at this moment. He hasn't really played a game for so long. He can play a real game in a venue full of spectators!

"In order to hit the country, our training will be mainly team training for the next month."

"Independent practice will be cancelled in the next training, and the replacement of group training!"

"We will conduct targeted exercises for experts from all over the country!"

"Hainan and Xiangyang have never been the opponents that our Lingnan High School needs to face."

Next, Coach Tarooka asked Hideichi to lead the team members to warm up and prepare to start today's training. After he came back from Aichi Prefecture, Tarooka made up for the video of the number-one high school basketball team in the country. He had already focused on the whole country. In his opinion, Hainan and Xiangyang could not block the first-year combination of their team. As for Xiangbei? What is that? A team that can't even make the quarterfinals are not worthy of being taken seriously.

Hanamichi Sakuragi also followed Ryonan for group training. He is one of the team members that Tarokao focuses on training. Although he is a junior high school student, Tarokao has already regarded Sakuragi as his own.

Tagano's training arrangements are indeed very solid. By the first grade, many players have begun to not get to the training progress. The cruelty of private schools has begun to be reflected at this time. After two weeks, some players have been forced to withdraw from the basketball team because they cannot keep up with the hard training, and on the eve of the county competition.
