People in Xiangbei: Opening Aomine Daiki

It was a little after seven in the evening.

Sakuragi Hanamichi headed for the basketball hall.

Along the way, he was a little impatient. He had originally wanted to ask Izumi Shin for advice, but he didn't expect that he would actually succeed in becoming his apprentice.

Although he didn't know what level of Izumi Shin's strength was, no matter who his opponent was, he would be beaten without any chance to fight back.

That was an absolute domination!

As soon as he arrived outside the basketball hall.

Sakuragi Hanamichi heard the sound of dribbling from inside.

He was very surprised.

"No wonder Brother Izumi doesn't come to training during normal times. It turns out that he trains alone at night."

After saying this, he passed by the small window of the basketball hall.

He took two steps forward and frowned.

No!

That person is not Izumi Shin!

Who is that?

With a curious look, Sakuragi once again retreated to the small window and looked inside.

The next second, he opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

"Smelly......"Filthy fox? How could it be him?"

At this moment,

Rukawa Kaede put his hands on his knees, his chest rising and falling rapidly, sweat flowing from his neck and back, his clothes were soaked.

He was very tired.

But his eyes were as firm as a rock, staring straight at the basketball rolling at his feet.

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

He dragged his tired body and grabbed the basketball on the ground. He threw himself into training again.

Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the crazy Rukawa Kaede, his Adam's apple couldn't help but jump, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"What a crazy guy! Why is he fighting so hard?"

For a moment,

Sakuragi Hanamichi was actually a little emotional.

Suddenly,

Izumi Shin's voice rang out from beside Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Do you know why?"

Sakuragi was really frightened.

"Why?"

Sakuragi asked back

"Because whether it is Rukawa, Akagi, Mitsui, Miyagi, or other players in the basketball team, they all have dreams and their own pursuits. What are your dreams and your pursuits?"

Izumi Shin said lightly.

""Dream?"

He muttered to himself.

His eyes were a little dazed, as if he was recalling something.

Why did he play basketball? His purpose was simple and clear, that is, to win the heart of Haruko and to be a big star on the court.

Apart from that, he had never thought about anything else.

"If you want to learn the skills well, you must persevere and start from the basics. Success is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it is not a foolish idea to expect that you can reach the top in one step. Even the greatest player in the world started as a rookie. Why do you think you are the best?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But before he could say anything, Izumi Shin continued.

"It is unrealistic to rush for success. Just like why do you commit five fouls every time? The reasons are very simple. The first is that you are a beginner. The second is that you want to be in the spotlight. You always think about scoring to attract attention and never think about whether the team wins or loses."

"You have to remember that the team's victory is above personal success."

"Technical problems are easy to solve, just practice, but problems in thinking are not a matter of practice or not."

"Either insist or give up. If you want to complain in front of others, you must suffer behind others!"

Izumi Shin didn't care about Sakuragi and just scolded him.

He didn't care whether Sakuragi Hanamichi could bear it or not. He said so much and did his best. Whether he could understand or not depended on his own comprehension.

Although he also stole the limelight on the court, it was different from Sakuragi Hanamichi's limelight in essence. His limelight was based on the premise of the team's victory, but what about Sakuragi? To put it bluntly, it was for his own selfish interests.

Sakuragi Hanamichi stood in place and was suddenly scolded. He was a little at a loss. Although what Izumi Shin said made him want to refute, he couldn't find a reason to refute.

In fact, since he joined the basketball team, he saw that everyone on the court had a highlight moment. To be honest, he envied, but more of a jealousy. Why? Why couldn't this highlight moment be himself?

But what Izumi Shin just said, that the team's victory was above the personal limelight, made him suddenly realize that it seemed that he had never thought about this problem at any time.

Seeing the silent Sakuragi.

Izumi Shin pointed to Rukawa Kaede who was dribbling quickly

"Why does Rukawa train so hard? Because he doesn't want to lose, he wants to win, he wants to surpass everyone who walks in front of him, he has his own pursuit, and you, my friend, what is your pursuit?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi said to himself what Izumi Shin said

"Either persist or give up? Dream?"

The stupid things he did in the selection competition flashed through his mind. They were all for the sake of showing off, causing the team to miss many offensive opportunities.

Finally, Sakuragi raised his head and looked at Izumi Shin with a sharp gaze.

"I, I don't want to lose, at least I don't want to lose to that stinky fox!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's transformation made Izumi Shin a little uncomfortable.

Then he put his hand on Sakuragi's shoulder and smiled:

"Attitude determines everything. If you want to succeed, you must make corresponding efforts."

"You have to remember that no matter what a successful person says, it is true, but an unsuccessful person, even if he says something fantastic, is just a clown in front of others. Come back to me when you have made up your mind."

"Also, remember to make up for your oden!"

After saying that, Izumi Shin did not stay, but left the basketball hall.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was left standing alone outside the window, watching Rukawa Kaede sweating profusely during training.
