Chapter 49: Futian Returns
June 21, Hainan Basketball Hall.
"We lost yesterday's game, and the responsibility lies with me. I didn't pay attention to Xiangbei, and I didn't even have the most basic information. Now we are facing a situation that even if we win the remaining two games, we have to look at the results of Xiangbei and Lingnan to determine whether we can qualify. Although we seem to be passive, we must believe that Xiangbei, who can defeat our Hainan, will not lose to Lingnan. So as long as we win these two games, we will definitely be able to enter the national competition." Coach Gaotou analyzed the situation Hainan faced next to the players.
"Coach, losing the game is not your own business, it is because our strength is not as good as others. As long as we work hard, we will always have a chance to win back." Kiyoda Nobunaga said.
"Yes, we are all responsible for losing the game. But we will not lose again. We are bound to win the remaining two games." Hainan players expressed their opinions.
"I believe Lingnan is also very clear about his situation. He will do his best to fight us on Saturday's game. In this way, if they win, they can ensure that they appear. Therefore, the game against Lingnan will be a tough battle. Everyone should not be careless. One failure is enough. Hainan must not even lose the right to qualify for the national competition." Coach Gaotou is very clear about the importance of the next game.
“Yes ~~~

"I can't believe it. Even after a day, I still couldn't accept the result of Hunan's victory over Hainan." Chi Shang said while preparing for the event.
"Yes, I didn't expect Xiangbei to be so powerful. I feel a little confused when I want to compete with such a team for the right to qualify for the national competition."
"Coach, Xiangbei is very strong now. How likely will we win if we face Xiangbei?"
Tagano thought for a while: "Actually, the original plan was to fight Hainan to preserve its strength, and then defeat Xiangbei with all their strength, so that Lingnan could qualify with at least 2 wins and 1 loss. But I didn't expect that Xiangbei would defeat Hainan without Akagi. In this way, our plan would have changed and we could only open a breakthrough in Hainan. Alas!!! Xiangbei's strength has expanded too quickly. The prefecture's top center Akagi, the junior high school MVP Mitsui Shou, Miyagi Ryota, and the strength of several newcomers who have entered Xiangbei is also top-notch, especially Maekawa Mae Kazuze was able to suppress Amu in the Hainan game and score 65 points. It seems that Xiangbei's strength has surpassed us and Hainan. And the results of the game have proved this, so we can only compete with Hainan for the remaining spot."
Coach Taroka suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Xiandao for a long time before saying, "Xiandao, do you know Futian's vegetation grass... How is it happening recently? Have you given up basketball?"
Xiandao and the second-grade students of Zhicao looked at me, and I saw you, and they shook their heads. It was obvious that they didn’t know how Futian was doing recently.
However, off-road hesitated for a moment and said, "Coach, Fukuda always seems to play basketball at the basketball court near the school, but I don't know when it is exactly."
Coach Taroka nodded, as if he was thinking about something that made him very embarrassed. He waved his hand and let everyone go to train, but he became stunned.
Soon, Lennan's players began hard training, but Coach Tarooka disappeared.
~~~~~~~~
The dusk was dim and the setting sun was as bloody. At this time, the sun's face was bright red, and everything on the ground was covered in a blurred rose color.
In the outdoor basketball court, a boy sat in the middle of the basketball court and watched the sunset in a daze. Once upon a time, he could not even find a court with a basket, so he could only shoot a basketball in the sky. Who can understand the loneliness and loneliness in it? This boy is Fukuda Yoshio.
When Fukuda Yoshio joined the basketball team of Ryonan High School in the first grade, he was a beginner. He once overestimated his ability to challenge the team's center forward Jun Yusu. However, Coach Taoka saw that Fukuda was a capable material, so he was particularly strict with his training and often scolded him to the point of being cursed. However, this hurt Fukuda's self-esteem and caused the coach to hurt in a game. Therefore, Fukuda was ordered to withdraw from the team by Ryonan.
It cannot be said that during the period of Lingnan, Fukuda has always been eager to play basketball and games, even if there is a court that allows him to shoot and dunk.
Fortunately, I met a few boys who also loved basketball. I came here with me and finally felt that I could touch the basket again made Fukuda feel happy to cry.
Suddenly, Futian heard footsteps, and someone probably came here to chase his basketball dream. Futian did not look up and continued wandering around.
"Fukuta, come back to the team with me, we need you." Coach Tarooka said breathlessly.
"Coach~~~" Fukuda looked at Coach Taoka, who was sweating profusely and was surprised.
"Fukuta, I was wrong about what happened before. Now I apologize to you and hope you can return to the basketball team." Coach Taroka said sincerely.
It has to be said that Shigeichi Taoka is a serious and responsible coach who is eager to be talented. Unfortunately, he was recruiting Mitsui, Miyagi and Rukawa Kaede all returned in a defeat. However, he also got talented players like Sendo Fukuda.
It was just because of his personality that Fukuda actually attacked the head coach during the game, causing himself to be suspended and could only practice basketball on the basketball court outside.
Fukuda always wants to return to the Lingnan basketball team, but he is not having a chance. Today, Coach Taroka came to find him personally and was able to put down his identity and apologize to him. What else can hesitate to hesitate?! You must know that Fukuda's desire for games and his persistence in winning is even greater than that of the immortal. There is no reason to refuse such a good opportunity before his eyes. It can be said that Fukuda has been waiting for this day for a long time.
