Akagi opened his mouth in astonishment and stayed there for a long time. It was not until the owner of the noodle shop came in that he returned to normal.

After the owner of the face-to-face shop left, Akagi asked Mitsui eagerly: "Mitsui, is what Rukawa said true? Have you really received training from the best high school basketball coach in the United States?"

Mitsui replied affirmatively to Akagi: "Yes, what Rukawa said is true. Do you know why I never challenged you as the captain after returning to the basketball team? It's because my heart is no longer in Japan. After

Thanks to Coach Smith's training, I am confident that I have no rivals in Japan except Rukawa. When I finish high school and fulfill my promise to Coach Anzai to dominate the country, I will go to the United States to seek development. No matter how good the players in the United States are,

I would rather be at the bottom of an American university than be the king in Japan. I would rather be an ox tail than a chicken head."

Akagi originally thought that Mitsui was frustrated by that serious injury and lost his former no-nonsense temperament. Unexpectedly, Mitsui not only did not lose his fighting spirit, but instead took a longer-term view. Akagi couldn't help but feel proud of the dominance he had established over the past three years.

Doubts arose about the country's dream. After three years of hard work, the slogan of dominating the country was not realized even in the national competition. However, Rukawa and Mitsui had already set their sights on the world. The gap was indeed too big.

"Captain, you don't have to think too much. Let's eat noodles first, and then go to my house to watch American high school basketball videos." Rukawa advised Akagi.

"Yes." Chimu picked up the bowl absentmindedly.

Soon, everyone finished the first meal that Akagi invited. Then everyone came to Rukawa's house. Akagi and Mumu, who came for the first time, were shocked by the luxurious decoration of Rukawa's house. This time, Akagi no longer believed in what Rukawa said about his family background.

He had some doubts, but he was still unwilling to let Rukawa secretly abduct his precious sister.

At Rukawa's house, Akagi and Mumu watched the training video of the Oak Hill High School basketball team. They didn't speak for a long time after watching it. They were deeply shocked by the outstanding basketball skills and strong physique of American high school students in the video.

For the first time, Akagi discovered that his height, which he had always been proud of, could only be used as a shooting guard in the United States. He was too short for a small forward, let alone a power forward and a center. I originally thought that it was due to his lack of strength.

He was trapped in the prefecture because of his teammates. If he was given room to perform, even in the national competition, no one might be able to beat his Akagi. He finally discovered that the sky above his head was just the mouth of a dry well. Akagi's

The basketball world has been turned upside down.

Haruko noticed that her brother, who loved basketball, looked very depressed after watching the video, and couldn't help but pull Rukawa's hand worriedly. Rukawa tightened Haruko's hand, turned around and gave her a relieved smile, and then turned to Akagi and said

.:

"Senior Akagi, I think you should have a deeper understanding of basketball after watching the video. In fact, I used to think that I was on par with players of my age, if not the strongest, but for the first time I

After watching the video that Coach Smith brought to me, I felt like you do now that I overestimated myself."

After listening to Rukawa's words, Akagi deeply resonated in his heart. He raised his slightly depressed head and looked at Rukawa, listening to what he continued to say.

"Captain, I think it is a good thing to be able to realize our own insignificance. At least we are much stronger than before when we thought we were number one in the world. No matter how powerful others are, as long as we have a goal and keep training hard towards the goal.

, even if we cannot become the best players, at least we have worked hard, and our youth will not be wasted. What do you think?"

Rukawa's words gave Akagi a feeling of enlightenment. He who originally thought that his eyes were in a fog suddenly became enlightened. Akagi regained his composure and said to Rukawa with certainty: "You are right, I did underestimate basketball before. From now on.

I will re-train myself in a new direction, and I hope you can teach me without hesitation." After finishing speaking, he bowed to Rukawa.

Before Rukawa could react, Mu Mu bowed over there: "Please give me your advice, Rukawa-san."

"This is easy to talk about." Ruchuan quickly agreed: "No matter what, you are still my uncle."

"What?" Mumu raised his head and looked at Rukawa in surprise. Only then did he notice Akagi Haruko behind Rukawa. Mumu, who had been friends with Akagi for many years, of course knew Akagi's precious sister. Now he heard Rukawa and Haruko talking.

Mu Mu was very surprised by the relationship.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Akagi was very unhappy with Rukawa calling him uncle, and said to Rukawa directly and rudely: "In which direction do you think Mu Mu and I should develop?"

"Yeah." Rukawa pondered for a while and said: "I personally think, Captain Akagi, you should practice more body flexibility, small hooks under the basket, mid- and long-range shooting, and small forward pace training; and Kigure-senpai should practice more.

When practicing physical fitness, practice constantly changing positions and shooting immediately after catching the ball, and you can't shoot from the highest point. Well, that's all I can think of for the time being. We can ask Coach Smith for advice in the future."

"Well, okay then, Mu Mu and I will come to your place to train on weekends when the school is not training." Akagi thought for a while and said: "Also, when the school team trains in the future, what do you think is good training?

Just come up with the method, I saw your warm-up training today is obviously different from ours."

"Well, okay, although our training methods may not be able to make everyone tolerate it for a while, other players can just reduce the amount of training appropriately." Rukawa answered privately, after all, he still has to represent Shohoku.

It is obvious that he hopes to see other players improve their strength.

Sure enough, during the team training on the second day, Akagi let Rukawa come up with some training methods. Considering that many of our bodies were not suitable for some high-intensity training, Rukawa came up with several training methods to make basketball training more interesting.

.

After all, Rukawa knew that Akagi had continued Japan's traditional training model and would only use a lot of monotonous and boring basic training to select players like a wave of sand. This led to many players who were interested in basketball but lacked motivation and perseverance to be unable to stand it early.

He quit basketball due to boring training. Just like Shohoku, this year's freshmen have 7 players except Rukawa, Sakuragi and Yohei. However, Rukawa, who has read the original work, knows that in less than a month, these 7 players will be lost.

Most of the time, it seemed like there were only 4 or 3 players left on the team in the end.

Sure enough, after joining several interesting trainings proposed by Rukawa, the amount of training actually increased instead of decreasing. However, other players were very interested in practicing. After the training, their eyes no longer had the feeling of finally getting through another day.

, but although the body is very tired, the eyes are full of desire for tomorrow's training. After all, they are all young people. They are full of curiosity and yearning for new things. Being too boring and monotonous will only destroy their creativity.

and enterprising spirit.

When the weekend arrived, Akagi and Mumu came to Rukawa's private basketball gym as promised and trained with Rukawa and the others. Now Rukawa and the others' training team had reached 7 people, and they could practice a few more team training projects.

After Akagi and Mumu witnessed Rukawa and the others' full-day training for the first time, they immediately felt that it was reasonable for Rukawa and the others to be able to play such beautiful basketball.

A few days passed quickly during the hard training. It was Monday, April 26. After the first class in the afternoon, Rukawa and the others had just started their warm-up activities amidst Akagi's whistle.

Just as Rukawa and the others started training with three people alternating running positions and passing the ball, Rukawa had just finished running a group and came down, taking a breather to rest. He suddenly found that the originally closed side door of the basketball gym had been opened. Three people were wearing blue long-sleeved shirts.

A girl with a red bow tied on her chest and a light blue miniskirt, which is the Shohoku High School girls' uniform, appeared at the door.

Aren't these three girls the crazy "Rukawa Ming" trio that often appear in comics? Rukawa quickly and secretly observed the three of them (he didn't dare not to secretly, because they were looking for Rukawa everywhere), on the left

The one on the right has short, ear-length hair dyed yellow, and is slimmer; the one on the right is better looking, with long shawl hair that Rukawa prefers, but it is dyed dark red, and has a rounder face with better facial features.

She was cute, with big eyes and a plump and moderate figure; but the one in the middle made Rukawa disagree. Her hair was dyed green with yellow, and she had two small braids placed beside her ears.

She is relatively androgynous, and the string of beard under her nose is so deep that it can be seen by the river at least 20 meters away.

"Oh my god!" Rukawa thought to himself: "Could this be the legendary Rukawa Kaede's exclusive 's.h.e', mygod? When I thought about the tomboy in the middle ogling me, I got goosebumps all over my body.

Unbearable."
