Chapter 232

The ad film with the Heavenly Dao and Satsuki landed on Tokyo TV one week later as scheduled.

In the evening, Kise was holding a ball and preparing to go out to practice; passing by the living room, he seemed to see acquaintances, and retreated a few steps to come back.

He took a closer look, and it really was the Heavenly Dao and Satsuki.

The two were playing around on TV like a couple, and then embraced together.

"Did these two really get together?"

He wanted to call the Heavenly Dao, but found that the other party was out of the service area.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao had already run to Miami to watch this year's Finals in person.

The 2012 Finals had many stories.

The most classic was naturally Ray Allen's heaven-defying three-pointer; it was he who saved the Heat's Big Three.

There was also the steady-as-a-mountain Duncan, who lost control of his emotions on the court for the first time, angrily smashing the floor to vent his unwillingness.

In short, this year's Finals had many wonderful stories.

The time was too far away; the Heavenly Dao couldn't remember the score of every game in the series.

But he remembered that in the first game, the Spurs gave the Big Three a wake-up call on the road.

The Heavenly Dao found a betting company and went all-in on the Spurs winning the first game.

The result was no surprise; as Tony Parker shook off LeBron at the last moment and scored, the San Antonio man escaped with a road win.

The Heavenly Dao left the arena feeling satisfied.

For the following time, he didn't go back, but stayed in the US until Game 6, when he went all-in on the Heat again and succeeded.

After finishing this game, the Heavenly Dao directly boarded a plane and returned to JP.

He knew when to stop and didn't dare to be flashy anymore.

After returning to JP, the Heavenly Dao gathered his troops, started arranging training, and prepared for the Winter Cup in advance.

Haizaki was also called over by him.

On Haizaki's first day joining the club, the scene was explosive.

Kirisaki Daiichi was a famous "Bad Boys Legion," and Haizaki was a top-tier troublemaker who didn't even respect Akashi; with this group together, it was impossible for nothing to happen.

"We were already champions before you came!"

"What did you say?"

Haizaki was instantly enraged when he heard Hanamiya Makoto say this.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's invitation, how could they have transferred to Kirisaki Daiichi?

And yet, you give me attitude on my first day reporting?

A mere "Uncrowned King," you think you're something?

Haizaki didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves, and went to challenge Hanamiya Makoto one-on-one.

The "Bad Boy" naturally wasn't Haizaki's match in a one-on-one, but Hanamiya Makoto never intended to play basketball properly; facing Haizaki's breakthrough, he just tripped him.

"Thump~"

Haizaki fell hard on the spot.

Haizaki had heard that the customs of Kirisaki Daiichi were "simple and honest," but this guy was too bold, daring to mess with even him.

While angry, Haizaki was also eager to move; since he was new, it was good to find someone to establish his authority.

Then the two's basketball duel suddenly turned into a brawl.

"Don't we need to stop them?" Yamazaki Hiroshi was speechless; this year, Kirisaki Daiichi had two new recruits, and both completed their joining by fighting—it was truly explosive.

"No need." The Heavenly Dao grinned, watching them fight like dogs, and said, "Men, there's nothing faster to understand each other than having a fight."

Hara Kazuya, Furuhashi Kojiro, Seto Kentaro, and others nodded one after another.

After all, they were beaten into submission by the Heavenly Dao like this...

In the end, Haizaki, who had stronger combat power, won; the "Bad Boy" was beaten black and blue again, and his front teeth seemed loose.

Of course, Haizaki didn't feel too good either; Hanamiya Makoto was best at playing dirty. Haizaki dodged his "monkey steals the peach" but couldn't dodge his kick to the chest, which was now burning with pain.

"Alright, the welcome ceremony is over."

"Give you 10 minutes to rest; after 10 minutes, everyone starts training."

The Heavenly Dao only stepped in to call a stop when the two—one civil, one martial—had decided the winner.

He clapped his hands, telling everyone to prepare.

"You call this a welcome ceremony?" Haizaki pointed to his clothes, which had a size 42 shoe print from Hanamiya Makoto.

"This is the style of Kirisaki Daiichi; if you're scared, it's not too late to leave now."

Haizaki naturally knew this was the Heavenly Dao's provocation, but he was just the type to fall for it.

"I will make that guy behave." Haizaki's expression was ferocious.

Among the people who played basketball, he only respected two people.

The first was Nijimura Shuzo, the second was the Heavenly Dao; he wasn't afraid of anyone else.

Training started soon.

The struggle between Haizaki and Hanamiya Makoto clearly wouldn't end so easily.

Not long after resting, during the team practice game, the two were tangled together again.

"Do you want to die, Uncrowned Boy!"

Haizaki was tripped again, climbed up angrily, and grabbed Hanamiya Makoto by the collar.

"It seems you not only have low IQ, but your eyes haven't fully developed either; can't you see such a big trophy?"

I am Hanamiya Makoto, the fresh-out-of-the-oven national tournament champion point guard; who are you saying has no championship?

Besides.

"Being knocked down so easily, are you a woman?"

F*** you!

Haizaki was surprised to find that he couldn't win a war of words against this jerk.

Since that was the case, if the war of words didn't work, then he would go straight to a physical fight; the two were tangled together on the court again.

"This summer shouldn't be boring."

"That's what I'm saying."

"Well fought, attack his lower body, Hanamiya!"

The rest of Kirisaki Daiichi watched aggressively.

They didn't care about the brawl between Haizaki and Hanamiya Makoto at all.

After all, the team's leader was as steady as a mountain; these two—the second and third leaders—couldn't affect the team no matter how they fought.

For the next half month, the struggle between Haizaki and Hanamiya Makoto still hadn't subsided.

Haizaki had almost forgotten why he came to Kirisaki Daiichi; every day he came to the basketball club, he just fought with Hanamiya Makoto.

He didn't quite understand the Heavenly Dao's thoughts.

He had been at Kirisaki Daiichi for half a month, and hadn't had a chance to show anything else, only proving his ability to fight.

This day.

After warming up, the Heavenly Dao continued to arrange a team practice game.

Hara Kazuya opened a betting pool on the spot, "Want to play? Who can win between Hanamiya Makoto and Haizaki? Haizaki wins 1 pays 0.9, Hanamiya wins 1 pays 3."

Several people looked and took out their pocket money to bet.

However, they didn't expect that the Heavenly Dao had arranged for Hanamiya Makoto and Haizaki to be on the same team today.

"Let's play something special today; the team that loses the game is responsible for washing the clothes of the winning team for a week, um, and socks too."

The clothes here were naturally not daily clothes, but the training uniforms worn during practice.

"Nani?"
