June 22, 8 a.m.
An old but clean bus was speeding steadily towards the Kanagawa Gymnasium.
Inside the bus were the members of the Shohoku Basketball Team, on their way to participate in the competition today.
However, at this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were indescribably strange, a mix of helplessness, tension, worry, and frustration.
The oppressive atmosphere in the entire bus was like an invisible net, making it hard to breathe.
"That b*****d... he's late again... ah..."
Takenori Akagi's eyes were blazing with fire, his teeth were chattering, his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of visible black air, and veins on his forehead were bulging.
Upon closer inspection, you could see the veins jumping and wriggling.
The members of Shohoku were all silent, hiding in the corner like frightened birds, not daring to make a sound.
Yasuharu Yasuda couldn't stop shaking and muttered, "Captain Akagi seems particularly angry today!"
Tetsushi Shiozaki was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice to agree: "Qing Junce has been late before, but I've never seen Captain Akagi so angry!"
Kiminobu Kogure's mouth twitched, his face full of helplessness: "There's no other way because today's opponent is Kainan. As long as we beat Kainan, we can enter the national competition. This has always been Akagi's dream. Being late for such an important game would make Akagi angry."
When Hanamichi Sakuragi saw this, he felt that he had finally found a chance to criticize Qing Junce, so he quickly ran to Takenori Akagi and laughed, "Hahahaha...
Ouch! Gorilla, it's okay! It doesn't matter if that 'Godless Ghost' is not here, as long as I, the genius Hanamichi Sakuragi, am here.
When the time comes, it will be my turn to play, and I will definitely beat Kainan to a pulp."
Bang...
Takenori Akagi ignored the idiot and punched Hanamichi Sakuragi hard on the head.
Hanamichi Sakuragi fell to the ground instantly, and a big red bump immediately appeared on his head, steaming and shining.
Kiminobu Kogure quickly approached Hanamichi Sakuragi and gently advised: "Sakuragi! Don't provoke Akagi now."
"Damn gorilla." Hanamichi Sakuragi felt extremely aggrieved. He covered his head and hid in a corner, crying silently.
Ayako looked at the messy scene, helplessly held her forehead, and looked speechless.
At this moment, Ayako's cell phone dinged, receiving a text message.
As soon as she saw the sender, Ayako's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly shouted to everyone, "There's a message from Kara."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Ayako.
Ayako quickly opened the text message, and just as she finished scanning the content, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Kiminobu Kogure hurriedly asked, "What did Kara say? When will they arrive?"
Ayako sighed softly, but still told everyone the content of the text message truthfully. "Kara said that Jack Carter just got up and is eating now.
They will be here soon after Jack finishes eating.
It will take about an hour to leave from their place, so they should be able to catch up with the game."
When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Just woke up?
Still eating?
Ryota Miyagi was speechless and muttered, "I really envy that guy."
Hisashi Mitsui snorted coldly, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was mocking, ridiculing, or a little envious: "Young people nowadays really know how to enjoy life."
Looking at Takenori Akagi again, he looked like a volcano about to erupt. There seemed to be wisps of steam rising from his head. His originally dark face had turned black and red, and it felt like he would erupt completely in the next second.
Kiminobu Kogure quickly ran to Takenori Akagi and consoled him with a smile: "It's okay! Jack Carter is going to come anyway, just make it before the game starts. You can't let them play on an empty stomach! Right?!"
Kaede Rukawa, who had been quietly staying in the corner, couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: "That idiot."
The other side.
In front of a bus stop.
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling the hair of Jack Carter and Kara Smith who were waiting for the bus on the platform.
"It's too late! What should I do? What should I do? Why hasn't the bus arrived yet? We will definitely miss the game." Kara Smith stared at the time on her watch, stamping her feet anxiously, her eyes reddened.
Jack Carter stood aside, with a nonchalant look on his face. "It doesn't matter if we're a little late. If those guys can't even hold out for that little bit of time, they might as well just give up and admit defeat."
When Kara Smith heard this, her face turned red with anger. "You're saying that again. It's all because of you that things have become like this. Today's match is an important match that will determine whether we can enter the national competition."
"What should I do? The next bus won't arrive for another ten minutes. Captain Akagi must be furious. It's all your fault... stinky Jack... bad Jack... stupid Jack..." She felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her voice even had a hint of tears.
Jack Carter closed his eyes and slowly picked his ears, looking as if it was none of his business.
Just then, a car whizzed past the two of them, raising a large cloud of dust.
Cough cough cough...
Jack Carter and Kara Smith were choking and coughing, and tears were about to come out.
The two looked at the car with anger on their faces.
Jack Carter frowned and cursed: "What the heck is that car doing? Is it in a hurry to reincarnate?!"
Kara Smith also complained aggrievedly: "Why am I so unlucky today? Not only was Jack late, but I couldn't get a bus when I waited for it, and now I'm being bullied by a passing car."
Creak...
A sharp brake sound suddenly sounded, startling the two of them.
The car that just sped past actually reversed again.
Jack Carter and Kara Smith were stunned for a moment and looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
How could Jack Carter swallow this insult? He raised his foot and was ready to go forward to argue.
He was not a person who could suffer any loss. Although he was usually obedient in front of Kara Smith, he would not indulge others.
However, before he could get close, the door of the car was opened.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, which were thin, long, and round. Under the morning sun, they exuded a hazy sexy beauty.
Forehead...
Jack Carter was stunned for a moment.
Kara Smith's first feeling was one of alertness.
She narrowed her eyes, as if she had forgotten about the competition.
Soon, the owner of the beautiful legs came into their sight.
She was a woman with short hair and delicate features, about twenty years old, wearing a professional suit. She looked very capable and energetic.
Jack Carter was stunned when he saw this person.
She looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
The woman opposite kept her eyes on Jack Carter, which made Kara Smith feel very uncomfortable.
Kara Smith came to Jack Carter's side, grabbed Jack Carter's arm, declared her sovereignty, and stared at the woman opposite vigilantly.
The woman opposite seemed to have ignored Kara Smith and said directly to Jack Carter: "Hello, are you Jack Carter from the Shohoku Basketball Team?"
Hearing this, Jack Carter did not hide it and nodded. "It's me."
The woman opposite was delighted when she heard this. "Great, I've always wanted to interview you, but I never had the chance."
Hearing the other party say this, Jack Carter also remembered who the other party was.
At this time, Kara Smith asked: "Excuse me, who are you..."
Hearing Kara Smith's question, the woman on the other side smiled and replied: "Hello, I'm a reporter from Basketball Weekly, my name is Yayoi Aida."
It turns out to be a reporter!
Kara Smith felt a little relieved, but she still looked at the other person vigilantly, fearing that the other person would do something to Jack Carter.
Yayoi Aida asked curiously, "By the way, today should be the match between Shohoku and Kainan! Aren't you a Shohoku player? Why are you here?"
"Ah! This!" Jack Carter scratched his head and was about to speak.
Kara Smith quickly interrupted, "Because Jack slept in at home, he was late. We were about to rush over, but we couldn't wait for the bus for a long time."
"Ah? So that's how it is!" Yayoi Aida was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
How could he be late for such an important game?
This Jack Carter has a really big heart.
But thinking about the fact that Jack Carter had been late before, she didn't find it strange.
Yayoi Aida invited at this time: "In that case, take our car! We are just going to the stadium, so we can take you there."
"Huh? Is this okay?" Kara Smith showed some unusual movements.
If we take the other car, we should be able to catch the game.
Yayoi Aida nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. I'm really looking forward to the match between Shohoku and Kainan! And I also want to see the match between Jack Carter and Shinichi Maki. If Jack Carter doesn't come, then the match will always be missing something."
"Thank you so much." Kara Smith bowed politely.
Although she was wary of the woman in front of her, she still had to be polite since she was helping them.
Jack Carter didn't have to be so polite and just said, "Thank you."
Soon, Jack Carter and Kara Smith got into Yayoi Aida's car and drove towards Kanagawa Gymnasium.
