Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 71
Gin: "It would be great for you to be the image spokesperson of the product. As a practitioner of sports products, I have been paying attention to sports leagues at all levels.

You, a star high school student in Kanagawa Prefecture, are well-known in Tokyo. I think if people who know your name can get to know you better, they will all become your fans.

But there is one more thing. Your Sakuragi brand must be affiliated with my gin brand. If your endorsement effect is good, I can consider you as the spokesperson for the entire gin brand. "

Sakuragi said: "No problem!"

What Gin said was exactly what Yingmu Huadao thought in his heart. When the knee pads he designed solved the problems of patients with knee injuries, then he would have a rapidly growing number of fans while lying at home.

The most important thing is that Hanamichi Sakuragi wants to make people who love sports less suffering from injuries, and this knee pad is just his first step.

Gin: "I wish us a happy cooperation."

Aoi didn't expect that he would make such a big deal just by driving Sakuragi Hanamichi to Tokyo.

It seems that Yingmuhuadao is really a top-notch cash cow!

After four hours of hard work by Gin, the knee pads designed by Sakuragi Hanamichi were finally made.

After Aoi finalized the cooperation rules with Gin, the two declined Gin's invitation to have lunch together, and they immediately set off for Kanagawa.

The two ate some snacks in the car, even if they had dealt with the lunch matter, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Sakuragi Flower Road finally arrived at Mitsui Shou's house.

Aoi returned to his shop to open for business after delivering the cherry blossoms.

And Yingmu Huadao rang the doorbell of Mitsui's house.

Mitsui Shou: "Who?"

Mitsui Shou, who was not in a good mood, asked impatiently at the doorbell.

Yingmu Huadao: "I'm the baby boy Yingmu Huadao, I'm here to give you a baby!"

Mitsui Shou: "Sakuragi? Didn't you go to school?"

Mitsui Shou opened the door leaning on his crutches, and looked at Yingmu Huadao with a question mark on his face.

Yingmuhua said: "I didn't go! I went to Tokyo last night, and then I ordered a knee pad for you and brought it back. You should try it quickly."

Mitsui Shou immediately saw the knee pads that Sakuragi Hanamichi was holding. This was a knee pad he had never seen before, but it seemed to have a strong protective effect.

During the process of seeing a doctor with Mitsui, Sakuragi Hanamichi found that his and Mitsui's leg circumferences were basically the same, so he made this knee pad according to his own leg circumference.

According to the method taught by Yingmu Huadao to Mitsui, Mitsui put on this seemingly complicated knee pad.

Hisashi Mitsui: "Sakuragi! These knee pads are amazing! I don't even feel pain in my knees!

Didn't even feel the pressure from the weight! "

Mitsui Shou let go of his crutches and stood on the spot independently.

Yingmuhua said: "Of course!

The outer side of this knee pad can have a metal support bar, which will share most of the weight of your knee. "

Mitsui Hisashi: "With it I can play! Thank you so much Sakuragi!"

Mitsui Shou was a little agitated.

Yingmuhua said: "This thing is not a panacea, unless it is a last resort, you should take good care of your injuries, after all, we have already entered the national competition with one foot.

We are still counting on you to shine in the national competition, you can raise it at home first, I have to go back to school to train.

You must take a good rest these few days, and don't be naughty to make the injury worse!
It is best to wear knee pads at ordinary times. You will inevitably exert force on your left leg. Wearing them in daily life can also help protect your knees, which can effectively reduce the bending of your knee joints and allow you to recover from injuries faster. "

Mitsui Shou: "Don't worry, I am a mature and stable senior in the third grade."

Sakuragi Hanamichi bid farewell to Mitsui Shou and returned to the school's gymnasium.

Yingmu Huadao reported the good news to everyone, and the players in Xiangbei immediately showed enthusiasm for training.

The fatigue of hundreds of kilometers of boats and vehicles did not make Yingmu Huadao slack in training.

Hanamichi Sakuragi, who has improved his level of confrontation, did not choose to change his development direction, but he felt that he should still develop some skills, such as mid- and long-range shooting that can be used in games.

A week of high-intensity training has given Sakuragi Hanamichi a good start on the road to improving his shooting ability in the training state.

Although the game against Buri High School on June 6 was a good opportunity for Sakuragi Hanamichi to test his training results, but Sakuragi Hanamichi decided to play the game in the way he is best at.

Lingnan High School defeated Buri High School with a huge score difference of 117-64, 53 points. Before the competition between Hainan High School and Lingnan High School, the final qualifying situation was still very confusing.

If Lingnan High School also beats Hainan High School, then Xiangbei High School can join hands with Lingnan High School to qualify directly, and the two teams don't need to consider the final result of the match between the two.

But if Hainan High School beats Lingnan High School, then Xiangbei High School must beat Lingnan High School in the final round to ensure qualifying.

If the result is the opposite, the Kanagawa top three will end up with two wins and one loss. Then the three teams with the same record will need to check the sub-scores to determine the qualifying places. If the sub-scores are still the same, it will depend on the relationship between each other.

Therefore, there is also a great mystery in Xiangbei's match against Wuli, which is destined to win.

Xiangbei High School must try its best to win more points from Wuli High School, so as to ensure that even if it loses to Lingnan, it can have more points to win the qualifying places.

Due to Mitsui's absence, Xiangbei lost a stable three-point output point, and it was even more impossible for Sakuragi Hanamichi to test his training results in this critical game.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi's analysis of the pros and cons, all members of Xiangbei High School will never relax in this game.

Konobu Kogure replaces Hisashi Mitsui as the starter, and the game begins!
From the first minute of the game, Shohoku started the full-fire mode. Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori ravaged the inside lanes, Kigure Konobu and Rukawa Kaede frequently fired outside lanes, and Miyagi Ryota enjoyed assists.

From the beginning to the end of the game, Xiangbei High School maintained the full intensity of the game, but at the last moment of the game, something worse happened.

Akagi Takenori sprained his ankle!
Takenori Akagi missed the last offensive rebound and missed a tip-up. When he landed, he accidentally stepped on the foot of a player from Buri High School and sprained his left foot.

Akagi Takenori, who was sweating in pain, couldn't stand up at all. Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede finished the game after adding Akagi Takenori off the field.

Xiangbei High School defeated Buri High School with a score of 100-65, and the final point difference was fixed at 35 points.
