Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 12 Friendship Years
Yingmuhua said: "Haha, I only said these things because the reporter induced me!"

"Boy, do you want to buy it? Today's "Basketball Weekly" is in short supply!"

The man at the newsstand was afraid that these boys would break the cover of the magazine, which was the best-selling issue since the last national competition.

Yingmuhua said: "Old man, you see that I am the future ace in the magazine. This is the first time I have appeared in a magazine. Can you give me a copy?"

Yingmu Huadao really wanted to keep a copy as a souvenir, but the price tag of 500 yuan really made him discouraged.

"If you were on the cover of "Playboy", I might give you a copy, old man.

It's a pity that you are on "Basketball Weekly", I am not interested in basketball at all. "

Looking at Yingmu Huadao, the old man looked dull.

Mito Yohei: "500 yuan, what a headache!

I have 350 yuan here, can you three make up 150 yuan?

This "Basketball Weekly" has a special meaning to Sakuragi. "

Mito Yohei asked the other three members of the Sakuragi Corps.

Yingmuhua said: "Forget it! I will definitely be a regular visitor in this magazine in the future, let's go to eat!"

Gao Gongwang: "Then how can it be done!

If Haruko rejects you, you will definitely not play basketball again.

I guess, this should be the last time you are in a magazine, so we have to buy it for you, and I have 30 yuan left! "

Noma Chuichiro: "Takamiya is right, I have 20 yuan!"

Yuji Okusu: "I have 30 yuan here! In this way, we are only 20 yuan away!

Sakuragi, do you have 20 yuan? "

Yingmu Hua said: "20 yuan. 20 yuan."

Sakuragi rummaged through his pockets and found nothing!

Mito Yohei: "Old man, do you think this little fatty Takamiya looks like the old aunt on the cover of "Playboy Older Edition"?
For his sake, can you give us 20 yuan cheaper! "

Gao Gongwang: "You should get a pair of glasses, Yohei!"

Old man: "It's really similar! It's my favorite type!

Well, I'll give you 20 yuan cheaper! "

The Sakuragi Legion took the 480 yuan they put together and gave this issue of "Basketball Weekly" to Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Yingmu Huadao was very moved, he had not experienced this kind of pure friendship for a long time.

Yingmuhua said: "Thank you so much everyone.

I invite everyone to have supper! "

Sakuragi Hanamichi wants to ask Boss Aoi, and he wants to invite Sakuragi Legion to dinner at the tavern, and he can owe Aoi the money for the meal first.

Because the 480 yuan is the money for everyone to go shopping and buy snacks together.

Mito Yohei: "I forgot, my mother will take me to visit a distinguished guest at night.

I have to go first. "

Noma Chuichiro: "Chujiro's homework is still waiting for me to tutor! I have to go too!"

Yuuji Okusu: "I don't want to go to supper with two idiots."

Gao Gongwang: "I want to audition for Playboy!"

The Sakuragi Legion knows that, how can the penniless Yingmu Huadao treat everyone to supper?

In order not to embarrass Sakuragi, they broke up.

Sakuragi thought to himself, after tomorrow's game, he can advance the endorsement fee, and then he will give back to his brothers!

Sakuragi Hanamichi went to the tavern to find Aoi for dinner, and then returned home to wait for the next day's game.

Early the next morning, the whole Xiangbei team gathered at the tram station. Sakuragi Hanamichi got rid of the lateness in the manga, and he and Akagi Takenori rushed to the meeting point first.

Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Akagi Takenori from a long distance away. Akagi Takenori was already black, but when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi, his face became even more terrifyingly black!
Akagi Takenori: "What happened to your boy's speech in "Basketball Weekly"?
Although you are a bit talented, you haven't reached the point where anyone can look down on you, you know?

How dare you even say that Xiangbei is invincible to Kanagawa! "

Sakuragi Hana said: "Every day we are shouting to dominate the country, but I am deliberately modest to say that I dominate Kanagawa.

Brother, why are you so excited? "

Akagi Takenori: "There are some things that you should not talk nonsense with outsiders, especially reporters.

Do you know that your arrogant speech will damage Xiangbei's image?

When we played against Lingnan High School today, you just said that we respect the opponent's strength, and we will definitely work hard to win, that's enough!
Also, how did Yayoi Aida find you? "

Sakuragi Hana said: "Reporter Yayoi Aida's younger brother is Hikoichi Aida who studied in Mausoleum.

The boy Aida Yanichi came to our school to spy on information the night before, but I was so full of surprises that he was interviewed by Teta's sister every time he came and went.

Who would have thought that she would put my words on the cover. "

Akagi Takenori: "I can't blame you too much, after all, you are only a freshman in high school and have never had experience in dealing with reporters.

However, the vice-principal was very angry about your matter. He felt that your speech violated the school motto of Xiangbei's humility and pragmatism.

The vice-principal specifically asked the physical education teacher to tell me that you will be banned from the competition as a punishment, but I have already interceded for you, and you can come on as a substitute today. "

The expression on Akagi Takenori's face eased a lot.

Sakuragi Hana said: "I never thought that a simple interview would cause such a big disturbance!"

Akagi Takenori: "The bigger turmoil is yet to come, and almost all high school golfers in Kanagawa will gather at the game site.

Today we have to win Lingnan, otherwise we will become the laughing stock of the whole god Nagawa and even the whole country.

You have to know that this is no longer your own business, you represent Xiangbei High School, and moreover represent Coach Anxi. "

Yingmuhua said: "If even Lingnan is afraid, why are we talking about dominating the country!"

Akagi Takenori: "The words are correct, but we should try our best to say such things in the team.

Not everyone can withstand such pressure from public opinion. "

Yingmuhua said: "Understood, I will try my best to speak with my strength in the future."

Sakuragi knew that what he said yesterday would indeed put a lot of pressure on many people, and he had to use his performance on the field to relieve his teammates.

Akagi Takenori: "Okay, that's the end of the matter.

I promised with the physical education teacher that you will be punished for playing 10 minutes late, and then you must be ready to fight the whole game.

Facing Lingnan, your burden is no lighter than mine. "

Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, and other team members came to the station one after another.

"Sakuragi, what you said yesterday offended a lot of people, and Yu Zhuchun from Lingnan has already said that he wants to tear everyone in Xiangbei to pieces.

We are miserable today! "

"That's right, Sakuragi, now we have become the target of public criticism!"

"Even my dad is going to the game today, it makes me so nervous!"

Several teammates complained to Hanamichi Sakuragi. As Takenori Akagi said, many people cannot bear such pressure.
