"You are Mitsui Hisashi from Takeishi Junior High School, right? I know you!"
Kogure Konnosuke's words immediately stopped Akagi Takenori's movements. Before, Akagi was blinded by anger and did not notice Mitsui Shou's appearance. Now, after hearing what Kogure Konnosuke said, he immediately recognized Mitsui Shou and Chiba Oishi who was with Mitsui Shou. As for the other members of Takeishi, Akagi was a little unfamiliar.
Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Oishi were already quite famous players when they were in junior high school. Mitsui Hisashi was the captain of Takeishi and won the MVP in his second year of junior high school. Although he failed to lead the team into the national championship last year, he was also selected as one of the best 5 players in the county.
Although Chiba Oishi is slightly less famous than Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori was still recognized.
"Oh? You know us?" Mitsui Shou turned his head and looked at Mugure Gongyan, and suddenly became happy. Young people always have some vanity, and Mitsui Shou is no exception.
"Yeah yeah."
"You are Mitsui Hisashi from Takeishi Junior High School. You once won the MVP of the county tournament. In last year's summer tournament, you were in the top 5 of the county tournament."
"I never thought a player like you would come to Xiangbei."
"Hello, I'm Mugure Konobu from Kitamura Junior High School, and he's Akagi Takenori from Kitamura. We're both freshmen joining the basketball team this year."
"You guys should have joined the basketball club too, right!?"
"I actually have the opportunity to become teammates with everyone from Takeishi Junior High School. I am really looking forward to my future life on the basketball team."
"With Mitsui-san joining us, Xiangbei High School will definitely become a national-level powerhouse!"
"Mitsui-san, I'll ask you to take good care of me from now on."
Kogure Konobu has a gentle personality and is very sweet. He said a lot of things, which made Mitsui Shou and others smile. Mitsui Shou was also a little shy, and was a little embarrassed by Kogure Konobu's praise.
"Hahaha! What are you talking about taking care of?"
"From now on, we are all teammates, so let's help each other."
"Don't worry, with me here, Xiangbei High School will definitely become a national-level strong team."
"Not only that, my goal is to lead Xiangbei High School to dominate the country!"
Mitsui Hisashi has already regarded the sweet-talking Kogure Konobu as his close friend. He patted Kogure Konobu on the back and spoke confidently.
As soon as the words "dominate the country" were uttered, Akagi Takenori and Kogure Mitsunobu both looked at Mitsui Hisashi at the same time. Kogure Mitsunobu did not expect to hear such a familiar word from Mitsui Hisashi's mouth. After looking at Mitsui Hisashi, he glanced at Akagi who was standing aside.
"To dominate the country! I never thought that Mitsui Shou had the same idea as Akagi."
"These two people will become very good friends..."
Just as Mugure Kumurobu was thinking this, Akagi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Dominate the country? I should be the one saying this!"
Akagi Takenori's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and several members of Takeishi's team all turned their eyes to Akagi Takenori. Except for Mitsui, the other members of Takeishi's team looked at Akagi as if he was a psychopath.
"Dominate the country?!" Even if these words came from Mitsui's mouth, Takeishi's teammates would still make fun of it. Although they did not mean to laugh at Mitsui, none of Takeishi's teammates took Mitsui's words to heart. They simply thought that Mitsui was a little naive and that it was too difficult for Mitsui to achieve it.
This is how everyone treats Mitsui Shou. How could they possibly have a good face towards Akagi, a little-known and unknown person
Mitsui is the veteran captain who led the team to the national competition and has won many personal honors. As for Akagi... what? Can he dominate the country with just his mouth
“Tsk, hahaha!”
"Isn't this guy a fool?"
"Dominate the country? By you?!"
"You are worthy of saying that you dominate the country?"
Chiba Oishi made no secret of his thoughts at the moment and mocked directly. Akagi's previous criticism of Mitsui had already made him a little unhappy, and now he was brazenly talking about dominating the country, which made Chiba Oishi even more unhappy.
In Chiba's heart, "dominant the country" can be said to be his biggest goal. How can Chiba Daishi be happy when his ideal is so easily mentioned? Mitsui Shou is fine, after all, Mitsui Shou's strength is there, but who the hell is Akagi Takenori? How dare a small fish from Kitamura say such a shameless thing
"What did you say? Why can't I dominate the country?"
"The person who can lead Shohoku High School to dominate the country is me, Akagi Takenori!"
Akagi heard Chiba Daishi's ridicule and raised his eyebrows and said loudly. Chiba Daishi saw that the other party did not restrain himself at all, but shouted even louder, and he couldn't help but laugh. Akagi Takenori said that he wanted to dominate the country, which gave people the feeling that Indians said they wanted to join the United Nations.
Chiba Daishi was just about to have a good talk with Akagi, when Mitsui Shou quietly stood in front of Chiba Daishi, blocking Chiba and Akagi from looking at each other, and turned to Akagi with a smile, saying:
"Akagi Takenori, right? I remember watching your game."
"At first, I thought you were just a big, clumsy guy, but I didn't expect you to have the ambition to dominate the country."
"Dominating the country cannot be achieved by talking alone, Akagi, I hope you can recognize this."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't recognize yourself. As your teammate, I will help you recognize yourself!"
Mitsui Shou said with a smile, his tone was gentle but sharp.
"Qianye, stop talking nonsense and change your shoes to enter the stadium."
"New students will have the opportunity to show their abilities when they join the club."
"Akagi, see you on the court. I hope your skills are as strong as your mouth."
Mitsui turned around and said something to Chiba, suppressing Chiba's anger. Then he looked at Akagi deeply, waved to Murasakibara Konosuba, and walked to the door of the gym to change his shoes.
It was still relatively early and there weren't many people in the stadium, so no one noticed the small conflict outside the stadium.
After Mitsui Hisashi and others entered the stadium, Akagi and Kogure Mitsunobu also followed them into the stadium.
Mitsui and Akagi did not communicate after entering the stadium. However, both Mitsui and Akagi's eyes were full of expectations for the game.
The seniors of Xiangbei were quite active today. They came to the gym early and waited. When a new player came in, several seniors would whisper to each other.
When Mitsui and the others entered the gym, the discussion among the seniors of Xiangbei became much louder. After Mitsui and Akagi entered the gym, the seniors' attention was attracted to Akagi Takenori.
The 193cm tall Akagi Takenori was really eye-catching standing in the crowd, and Mitsui Hisashi was also overshadowed.
The new players began to line up under the arrangement of the seniors, and the players arrived in the stadium one after another. However, until the players arrived and lined up for more than ten minutes, Coach Anxi still did not show up.
It was not until the players were getting impatient and there was obvious chaos in the queue that a burst of laughter came from the entrance of the stadium:
“Wow…Wow…Wow…Wow!”
"Very good, you are all very energetic!"
