Chapter 2 Joining the Team
clang!
A basketball fell into the basket and fell down.
"Oh, I made a mistake!" Takuya looked at the basketball that was missing in surprise, extremely disappointed. The young man opposite him was quick-eyed and took advantage of Takuya's loss of mind.
"This time, it's my turn to attack!" The young man who fought with Takuya one-on-one was a tall young man with a curly hedgehog head and thick lips.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed, my defense is not something you can pass!" Takuya said arrogantly. His superb defensive skills are an important weapon for him to gain a foothold in the United States.
"Come on!" The curly-haired youth's attack was extremely streamlined. He took a quick step on his left foot and wanted to force the first breakthrough with his body and fast step. However, Takuya often defended those high school students with extremely strong physical fitness in the United States. It was so easy to break through. Takuya used his body to push the curly-haired youth, and his footsteps moved horizontally, followed him closely, and gradually pushed him to the place where the principle basket was.
The curly young man tried his best and couldn't get closer to the basket. Takuya pushed to the bottom line on the left side of the court, so he had no choice but to stop.
"What? Is there no trick?" Takuya spoke provocatively, and trash talk was also a trick he was good at in the United States.
"Damn it! It's not over yet!" The curly-haired young man couldn't stand it at all. After Takuya said that, he was about to turn around and jump and shoot forcibly.
Bang!
Takuya gave him a straightforward block.
He caught up with the basketball in two or three steps, and was outside the three-point line. Takuya jumped up and shot without saying a word.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
"Ahhh, I'm so tired, I won't play anymore." After Takuya scored the goal, he sat underground and breathed loudly.
"Hey! Why didn't you beat me anymore? I just beat me for more than ten minutes," said the curly young man with great dissatisfaction.
"You have been fighting for more than ten minutes, but I have been fighting for two hours before you come!" Takuya said.
"Two hours?" The curly-haired young man opened his mouth in surprise. You know, it's only less than eight in the morning. If it's true as he said, wouldn't he come at around five o'clock?
"And I have to go back to take a shower and go to school. Today is the first day of my transfer. I don't want to be late!" After a while, Takuya stood up, picked up the basketball and was about to leave.
"Hey! What's your name?" Seeing that Takura was about to leave, the curly-haired young man asked quickly.
"My name is Takuya Maeda, where are you?" Takuya answered readily.
"I am Fukuda Yoshio."

Dingdong~ Dingdong~
"Wait a minute, there are still people!" The ringtone of Lingnan High School rang, and when Feng Ji was about to close the door, a loud shout came.
Frightened by the sound, Feng Ji stopped his hand and, with this short moment, the visitor successfully stepped into the school gate before the door was closed.
"Ah, it's just too late!" The person came was Takuya who had just finished playing the ball. He looked casual and was very unsatisfied.
"You are definitely late..." Feng Ji thought helplessly, but after looking at the height comparison of the two, he didn't dare to speak out.
"Thank you, this classmate~" Takuya said, and walked directly to the teaching building.
Not far from him, a tall man with a hedgehog head facing the sky was looking at Takuya's back in surprise. "It's amazing speed..."
"Hello everyone, I'm Maeda Takuya from Tokyo. Please give me some advice." In the class room, Takuya introduced himself to his classmates openly.
"Okay, Maeda, just sit down at that position." The head teacher pointed to one of the positions and said.
"Thanks."
"Hello, I'm Hiroki Off-Road." Seeing a transfer student who was very tall, the starting guard of the basketball team immediately greeted Takuya.
"Hello." Takuya's experience over the years has been maintaining a polite attitude towards the new environment.
"You are very tall, can you play basketball?" asked Off-Road directly.
"I used to be the main position in the school team." Takuya answered with a sunny smile.
"Is that so good? Is it great, do you want to join our Lingnan basketball team?" Lingnan's inside line had no staff except Yuzhu. At this time, a tall man came in and could be a good candidate.
"I was thinking about how to join the basketball team! So, can I ask you for help? Off-road classmate." Takuya smiled and couldn't tell what she was thinking.
After school, Takuya followed the cross-country road towards the gymnasium. Just now, Takuya had submitted the application form to join the team.
"By the way, Maeda, where do you usually play?" As he walked, off-road Kazutao asked.
"Well~ I'm used to playing small forwards, but I can also play shooting guards." Takuya thought for a while and replied.
"Huh? Are you so tall, play these positions?" Cross-country asked in surprise. You should know that in Japan, most of the teams are inside players over 1.85 meters.
"Well~ my former teammates were taller." Takuya said with a smile.
Off-road looked up at Takuya, swallowed, and asked, "Maeda, how tall are you?"
"Well... I don't know much about it, either 1.87 or 88." Takuya thought about it, and remembered that he had not measured his height for a while, so he didn't dare to be too sure.
"One meter 88..." The off-road was only one meter 74, and I was jealous.

In Lingnan's gymnasium, after briefly explaining the identity of Takuya's transfer student to coach Tian Gang, Tian Gang waved his hand and added Takuya to the training. At the beginning, it was Lingnan's terrifying hell-style basic training.
"Maeda, sorry, our Ryonan training can definitely be called the hardest in the prefecture. You must hold on until your physical strength is exhausted. This is your first training. If you perform well, you may make the coach look at you differently." Thinking of his internal training intensity, Off-Road felt that he needed to explain to Takuya.
"I'm not afraid. The training intensity of my team in the past was quite high, so I should be able to hold on." He still had a gentle smile, and there was no fear in Takuya's eyes.
After a round of basic training, even the starting players started to breathe, but Takuya only took a few breaths and didn't sweat a few times. Takuya's situation was noticed by Tian Gang, and he was already a little concerned about the transfer student. In addition, he performed better than the starting players after one round of training, so Tian Gang had to look at him differently.
"Okay, let's take a five-minute break first. By the way, this transfer student, please introduce yourself to you." Tian Gang said to Takuya.
"Uh..." Seeing that the team members focused their eyes on themselves, Takuya calmly said to others: "My name is Takuya Maeda." Then, then, there was no more.
"Maeda? Where are you good at?" Tian Gang continued to ask.
"Small forwards and shooting guards can occasionally play power forwards and point guards."
"So, can you tell me about your technical characteristics?"
"Well... defense, long shots and mid-range shots are better than **." Since in the United States, the enemies and teammates I really face are both strong men with strong physical strength, in desperation, they can only practice their shooting ability. Compared with black players who like to break through and dunk at the basket, Takuya will not lose to them by shooting, and his scoring ability will not lose to them. In addition, Takuya is not completely without breakthroughs and ball-holding offense, but relatively speaking, his shooting is relatively good.
After hearing Takuya's self-introduction, Tian Gang couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Maeda's height should be more than 1.85 meters tall, which can increase the height in the team. Moreover, in addition to Sendo, Ryunan currently lacks players who can score, and there are not many shooters. With Maeda's height and physical strength, it will not be too bad whether it is shooting on the outside or fighting in the inside... No, this is too arbitrary, you have to observe and see." In a few seconds, many thoughts flashed through Tian Gang's mind.
