Akagi looked at a row of new players and said straight to the point, "I am the captain of the basketball team, Takenori Akagi. Let me start with my self-introduction."

"Class 1, Grade 1, Taro Ishii, height 172cm, weight 65kg";

"Class 5, Grade 1, Ken Suzuki, height 165cm, weight 66kg";

"Class 6, Grade 1, Masaru Ishioka, height 180cm..."

…………

"Class 10, Grade 1, Rukawa Kaede, height 187cm, weight 75kg, graduated from Fugaoka Junior High School, no specific position." Rukawa Kaede said it truthfully with a blank expression, but his "ordinary" speech instantly caused discussions among others

"That kid must be able to handle all positions..."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Akagi cleared his throat and wanted to learn more about Rukawa Kaede. If nothing unexpected happened, this man would be the new force this year and the main player of the basketball team, so he wanted to know some things in advance. However, to everyone's surprise, Akagi asked a question about Rukawa Kaede's hobbies.

After hearing this, Hanamichi couldn't hold back his laughter, and then realized that he was disrespectful to Akagi, and hurriedly explained:

"Report, I know what Rukawa's hobby is, so I couldn't help laughing for a moment, which is really rude."

Akagi didn't care, waved his hand and said: "Then tell me what Rukawa's hobby is? By the way, introduce yourself."

"Yes! I am (Sakuragi) Hanamichi who graduated from Wako Junior High School. I am 191.5cm tall and weigh 86kg. I mainly play power forward or center. As for the biggest hobby of the sleepyhead next to me, it is of course sleeping, hahahahaha."

Everyone was speechless for a while, and some thought that Hanamichi was making fun of Rukawa, the expressionless man, so the scene was awkward. Vice-captain Mumu wanted to smooth things over, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, Rukawa touched his chin and nodded in agreement, so everyone was even more speechless. I didn't expect you to be such a Rukawa!

Akagi then continued to ask Hanamichi: "Then what are your hobbies or things you hate?"

"Of course my hobby is basketball. I set my goal to be a professional basketball player. As for the things I hate," Hanamichi quietly lowered his voice and whispered: "My hair is really inherited, not dyed by a bad boy."

Akagi understood what he meant and did not continue to ask. Instead, he said loudly: "Okay, you guys are the new freshmen," and then signaled to Mumu with his eyes.

"I'm the vice-captain of the basketball team, Kogure Konobu."

"I'm Yasuda, a sophomore."

"I'm Shiozaki, a sophomore."

"I'm Kadota (Emperor)."

Yasuda then said, "There's another sophomore in the hospital, so there are four of us in total."

At this time, a curly-haired woman wearing a pink hat, a pink T-shirt, tight blue pants, and sneakers came late with a medical kit and a medicine box, saying "I'm late," but she didn't look embarrassed or apologetic. She was the famous sophomore—Ayako Inoue, the manager of the basketball team.

This enthusiastic and youthful basketball manager greeted the new basketball team members enthusiastically as soon as he came up, and he seemed to be quite familiar with them. After seeing Rukawa Kaede, he happily said, "Rukawa Kaede, you are also in Xiangbei, you have grown a lot taller!"

It was not surprising that Hanamichi looked after his younger brother. After all, Inoue Ayako also graduated from Fugaoka Junior High School, and was considered to be Rukawa Kaede's genuine senior. Especially considering her understanding of basketball, she should have been the basketball manager of Fugaoka Junior High School since junior high school, so it was not surprising that she looked at Rukawa Kaede differently.

But what was unexpected was that Hanamichi, who had been honest and dutiful since the beginning of the school year, was still named by Inoue Ayako! Even if there was no single challenge to Akagi and the incident of pulling his pants...

Inoue Ayako pointed at Hanamichi with a familiar face and said, "Sakuragi Hanamichi, you are here too!"

Although Hanamichi was surprised at Ayako's familiarity with him, he still politely said hello. Ayako patted her shoulder and said as if to clear her confusion:

"I go to watch the games of Fugaoka Junior High School every year. This year, the only teams that can play closely with Fugaoka Junior High School are you and Hikari Junior High School. You are really amazing, Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

Hanamichi felt uncomfortable with the girl's pat on his shoulder, so he politely said, "Please give me more guidance in the future."

Akagi Takenori saw that the introduction was almost done, so he concluded, "Okay, before the practice starts, I have a few words to say to everyone. Our goal this year is to dominate the country."Everyone, be prepared, the training will be very hard in the future, understand!", Akagi shouted loudly.

"Understood" × 11 (6 first-year students, 3 second-year students on the field, third-year student Mugure and basketball manager Ayako)

The next step is a simple warm-up exercise, and then the second-year players will lead the first-year players to conduct simple passing and layup training in the half court or in the empty space. As for Hanamichi, because he is not a novice and has a certain basketball foundation, he was not forced to start from the most basic dribbling exercises.

The three-point line in half of the basketball court was vacant. Mugure and Akagi, as the two strongest players in the team at this time, had very clear goals and found their respective people.

Mugure found Rukawa Kaede and had a one-on-one duel with him. Simply put, Rukawa Kaede attacked and Mugure defended. The result was obvious, Mugure was defeated by Rukawa Kaede's decisive crotch breakthrough and then the jump shot at the basket.

And Akagi Takenori found Hanamichi.

"Interesting, a duel under the basket? I also want to see my strength. ”
