NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Spring goes and flowers bloom again. It has been more than three months since the last game. After the game, junior high school third-year students such as Hanamichi and Oda Ryumasa entered the third semester of their third year. Their attention quickly shifted from the loss on the court to the upcoming pressure of entering college.

Especially Oda Ryumasa, who has a clear goal and has not received a special invitation from the private school ~ Buyuan High School, he can only hope that he can get good grades in the entrance examination of Buyuan High School at the end of February and be admitted successfully. Fortunately, his usual grades are not bad, and if he studies step by step, he should be able to be admitted to Buyuan High School as in the original.

Hanamichi was not so lucky. He owed too much homework in his first and second year of junior high school. Although he had the experience of passing the compulsory education of a "flower grower" in his previous life and had successfully passed the test of the pressure of entering higher education in his previous life, due to the tight schedule and the fact that he immersed himself in the world of basketball in the early stage without reviewing, he was unsurprisingly ranked last in the class in the opening test of the third semester. The second to last was the fat otaku Takamiya.

After school, the Sakuragi Army and others gathered around Hanamichi's desk, chatting about the test results:

"Hey, you lose this time. I only failed two subjects!"

“I only have 1 subject!”

"Oh, that was a close call. Fortunately, I have Hanamichi to help me. This time, I am not the last in the class!"

Hearing this, the furious Hanamichi quickly retorted: "Damn it, you fat bastard, what's the difference between being the last and the second to last?"

"Of course there is a difference. I only failed in three subjects: math, music, and physical education. You failed in eight subjects besides physical education: physics, chemistry, Chinese, math, foreign language, social studies (history, civics), music, and home (cooking, sewing). Of course the gap is huge."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang." After four headbutts of different colors, Gao Gong and others fell on their chairs in a distorted manner, with smoke coming out of their heads.

At this time, classmates Oda and Shimamura Ye Zi passed by. They were already used to this scene and just kindly reminded:

"Hanamichi, with your basketball talent, you'd better try to take the entrance exam for a private school. There is only one public high school in Kanagawa Prefecture, Shohoku High School, and their basketball team is notoriously weak. They were eliminated in the first round of the county tournament this time. Joining such a high school will bury your basketball talent."

"Keep working hard until you get into high school, Hanamichi!"

Ye Zi also said something softly, then followed Oda out of the classroom.

Obviously, they didn't know that Hanamichi had received a special invitation from Ryonan basketball team's head coach, Shigekazu Tanaoka, who invited Hanamichi to join with a full scholarship and exemption from examination.

Not only Oda and Ye Zi, Hanamichi did not tell anyone else about this news because he had no intention of going to Ryonan to study. Not only because Mito Yohei and four others were preparing to go to Shohoku to study, but also because with the end of junior high school and the upcoming plot year, the basketball data panel (primary) issued a task called "Shohoku's starting five tigers", and it was in the process of upgrading after that.

The reward for the task is also very straightforward, you can choose any physical data value and add 2 attribute points.

"Sure enough, Shohoku is my destiny... But even though I am destined to join Shohoku, I cannot enter with the lowest grades. This really undermines the honor of my genius!"

After making up his mind, Hanamichi chose Kanagawa Shohoku Public Senior High School in the January application form for the entrance exam. He then retired from the basketball team like Oda and concentrated on studying for the last month or so. Finally, he achieved good but surprisingly unbalanced results in Shohoku's entrance exam.

On the other hand, after being rejected by Rukawa Kaede with the words "close to home", Coach Tanaoka found the residence of Hanamichi from the teacher of Wako Junior High School, and then asked in front of Hanamichi's house with the idea of ​​not giving up: "(Sakuragi) classmate, I'm sorry to bother you, but I still want to ask about the idea of ​​joining Ryonan, how are you thinking about it?"

Hanamichi looked at the Ryonan head coach who was working hard for the basketball career and had a frosted face. He couldn't bear to refuse but had to say, "I'm sorry, Coach Tanaoka, I don't plan to join the Ryonan basketball team."

"Why? Are you joining Shohoku High School also because of Coach Anzai?" Coach Takeo said disappointedly.

"I joined Xiangbei not because of Coach Anzai, but because there was something I needed on my basketball journey."

When Coach Tanaoka heard this, he thought that Hanamichi was talking about things that a normal Japanese chuunibyou would say, such as "tempering oneself through adversity" and "overcoming the superiors with the inferiors". After all, chuunibyou are a very common phenomenon in Japan.

However, Coach Tian Gang couldn't help but persuade him: "But the strength of the Xiangbei basketball team is at the bottom of the county. It is really difficult to break through the predicament. If our Ryonan basketball team has you join, we will definitely be able to enter the national competition in the first year."

Hanamichi was talking about the tasks released by the basketball data panel, but he didn't expect Coach Tiangang to think of "hardships" and "overcoming the strong", so he had to follow up with the conversation and said, "It's precisely because of difficulties that it's more interesting, isn't it!"

Coach Tiangang was speechless for a moment, so he had to say goodbye alone and leave in disappointment.

Hanamichi couldn't bear it, and shouted to Shigeichi Tanaka: "Uncle Tanaka, if possible, you can consider Ryumasa Oda from our school. He is also very strong."

Tian Gang Shigeichi's heart was once again filled with the intense desire to recruit him... "Oda Ryumasa! Gaotou, I will never give up!"

……

Back to the present, except for full marks in Chinese and physical education, Hanamichi also had good scores in other subjects in the entrance examination. However, he still failed the social studies (history and citizenship) subjects. There was no way. Hanamichi really couldn't study the history that he didn't acknowledge, and he was unwilling to learn it.

Just like that, with a dazzling red hair and strangely unbalanced entrance scores, Hanamichi entered Class 7 of the first grade of Xiangbei High School just like the original story, and began a new high school basketball career.

At the same time and place, with the same people, Hanamichi met Akagi Haruko again, and sparks flew.

"Ah! You are (Sakuragi) Hanamichi! You really are (Sakuragi) Hanamichi! It's great that you came to our Xiangbei High School."

"you are?"

"I'm Haruko Akagi from Class 3, Grade . I saw your junior high school semi-finals and it was amazing..." Haruko Akagi said as she touched Hanamichi all over.

"Wow, with such strong muscles, you must be 190 cm tall! You must join the basketball club, right? Brother, I finally found the savior of the basketball team."

The scene in the original work where he challenged the basketball team captain Akagi Takenori one-on-one did not happen. Under Haruko's leadership, Hanamichi returned to the classroom and honestly filled out the application for joining the club.

At night, Haruko Akagi, wearing a white shirt and knee-length shorts, was chattering in her brother Takenori Akagi's room, saying that she was the first to discover (Sakuragi) Hanamichi and asked him to write an application to join the basketball team.

"Brother, did you know? (Sakuragi) Hanamichi's hair wasn't dyed, it was inherited. I can't believe someone has inherited red hair!"

"Brother, Hanamichi is so tall, almost as tall as you when you first entered the school."

"Brother, that (Sakuragi) Hanamichi is so kind and easy to talk to, not at all as fierce as he is on the court."

……

After listening to Haruko's chatter, Akagi Takenori put down the dumbbells in his hands and said:

"The player you idolized, Rukawa Kaede from Toigaoka Junior High School, has also come to study at Shohoku. With the addition of Rukawa Kaede and (Sakuragi) Hanamichi, the strength of our Shohoku basketball team will definitely increase greatly. This year may be the most promising year for us to enter the national tournament and dominate the country."

After saying that, he looked out the window and murmured to himself: "The last year"!

At the same time, the bespectacled guy, Kogure Mitsunobu, who had just finished reviewing his admission application, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes tiredly, and also quietly looked out the dark window at the stars: This is the last year of high school!

There were more than a dozen application letters for joining the club on the table behind him, including those from Rukawa Kaede of Class 10, Grade 7, and Hanamichi (Sakuragi) of Class , Grade .
