Aomine Daiki In Shohoku: The Beginning

As a senior of Kaede Rukawa in junior high school, she can be said to be the person who knows Kaede Rukawa's strength best in the entire Shohoku.

There are few rivals in the same grade, and her reputation is rising. I don't know how many colleges have offered her olive branches.

Today's training match also fully proved Kaede Rukawa's strength. Even facing Akagi's defense, he was able to score the basketball and led the first grade to win the senior team composed of second and third graders.

She is worthy of the name of a super rookie.

But...

She was still being watched by everyone in the previous second, and was beaten bloodily in the next second.

Such a gap is like falling from a high mountain into a deep abyss.

Ayako looked at Coach Anzai.

It seems to be seeking help.

Coach Anzai has always been shrewd. At first, he just wanted to use Kaede Rukawa to see Shin Izumi's strength from the side.

He had a general understanding in the first few balls.

Just one dribble can show that Shin Izumi is much stronger than Kaede Rukawa. The feeling is a bit like a professional player going to a high school and competing with high school students. The two are like fireflies and the bright moon, and there is no comparison.

But he knew it but still did not pause.

Only after experiencing pain and suffering can one achieve true transformation, just like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, it needs to be reborn and reborn.

But he doesn't know what Kaede Rukawa is thinking now.

"Rukawa classmate, I'm sorry!"

He walked slowly to Kaede Rukawa, paused, and continued: "I could have stopped the game earlier, but I know you wouldn't allow it if I did."

Kaede Rukawa didn't answer, but his breathing was slightly calmer.

This is indeed true. The bullfight was stopped by Coach Anzai before it was finished. That would be more painful than killing him.

"In fact, I was just curious about Izumi's strength at first. I think you have the same idea. I want to use you to see what level Izumi is at. Fortunately, my choice is right. If it were someone else in Shohoku, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see what level he is at."

"Then... did you see anything?" Kaede Rukawa asked after a long time.

"There are many benefits to fighting with strong people. If you can learn something from it, you will benefit a lot." Coach Anzai did not choose to answer Kaede Rukawa's question directly.

Then he continued: "If you know what path you want to take and what kind of path you want to take, then there will naturally be many difficulties along the way. Life is like a grindstone. Only after being sharpened can it shine. Survive it, it is the phoenix nirvana, it is the glory of rebirth, and Izumi is a big obstacle for you now and in the future. There is still a big gap between you now."

His words made Kaede Rukawa stunned again, and slowly pulled the towel off his head.

Looking at Coach Anzai in disbelief.

He knew what level Coach Anzai in front of him was in Japan, and he was definitely one of the top few.

Could it be that in Coach Anzai's eyes, there was such a big gap between him and Shin Izumi? He was a little bit unbelievable.

But thinking of the bullfight with Shin Izumi, he was like an ant in a glass bottle. No matter which way he went, he would only touch the glass in the end, and Shin Izumi was like a glass bottle, suppressing him in all aspects.

"He...what is his strength now?"

In the end, Kaede Rukawa couldn't help but asked the question he was most concerned about.

"What do you think of Kogure's strength?" Coach Anzai said slowly after a moment of silence.

Hmm?

Kaede Rukawa frowned and didn't react immediately.

After a moment, he suddenly looked at Coach Anzai.

"Do you think that the distance between him and me is the same as the distance between Kogure and me?"

Kaede Rukawa was stunned. In the Shohoku Basketball Team, he felt that the only person who was a threat was the captain Akagi. He didn't care about the others.

Coach Anzai didn't reply yes or no, just looked at Kaede Rukawa quietly.

Kaede Rukawa's heart was hit by 10,000 points of attack.

So, in Shin Izumi's eyes, there is not much difference between him and Kogure?

Or... not at all?

For a moment, his mind was blank, he opened his mouth, and then closed it.

Coach Anzai leaned over and patted Kaede Rukawa's leg with his white and fat hands.

"His way of scoring and his unconventional dribbling are worth learning from. Don't be discouraged. Only by breaking and then building can you usher in the new year."

A few seconds later, Kaede Rukawa said seriously.

"I know!"

But this time, the shock, reluctance, anger, and confusion on his face disappeared without a trace, and he returned to the cold and indifferent look at the beginning, with a little more concentration.

Coach Anzai looked at Kaede Rukawa who regained his confidence.

He smiled with some relief.

Kaede Rukawa did not become depressed because of this, and he would definitely be self-reliant and reborn.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who was concentrating on basic training.

He stood up and left the basketball hall with a smile.
