After shonbei, a slam dunk master, lost to Hainan, Sakuragi insisted that it was his last mistake and passing the ball to Takasa that caused Shobei to lose.
It is conceivable that that night, Sakuragi alone could not sleep, as long as he closed his eyes, he could see the picture of Takasa receiving the ball, and his ears would remember the whistle at the end of the game, because of his own mistakes, the team lost, and more importantly, because of his own mistakes, Akagi missed an opportunity.
It is undeniable that Sakuragi's attitude towards Akagi at that time was no longer that of a simple Haruko's brother, but a relative who placed Akagi on the same level as the Sakuragi Legion, or even higher, so Sakuragi could not forgive himself for a while.
During that time, Haruko and Kaede Yasukawa opened Sakuragi's heart knot, relatively speaking, Haruko's attitude greatly alleviated Sakuragi's guilt, the most important thing is that Haruko inadvertently let Sakuragi look directly into her heart, so that Sakuragi understands that any self-blame and guilt at this time is useless and cowardly.
When Haruko finds Sakuragi, who is wandering outside, and asks Sakuragi when she first dunked in an interview, seeing the gentle Haruko, Sakuragi suddenly understands that perhaps she is the only one who is so stubborn about the last misstep pass.
At the same time, Haruko said that someone would definitely ask Sakuragi this question in the future, and these words inadvertently made Sakuragi wake up, although he was still blaming himself, but there was one thing Sakuragi wanted to understand.
Do you like basketball? Absolutely. Do you want to keep fighting? Of course, we must continue to fight.
The days ahead are still long, and since this is the case, Sakuragi should understand that at this time, she is too stubborn in the loss of a game, so guilty and self-blamed, and cannot extricate herself, which can not change the outcome of losing to Hainan, and it is not conducive to the future confrontation with Buririnnan.
Fighting Hainan is one of Akagi's goals, but Akagi's bigger dream is to dominate the country, so Sakuragi realizes that what he has to do is to quickly wake up, recover his state, step up preparations, prepare for the match with Lingnan, and win these two matches, which is the right behavior to make up for his mistakes.
That night, Sakuragi went to the basketball team in heavy rain, which still shows that when Sakuragi was most depressed, the basketball hall was one of the few places where he could comfort him, just like the open-air basketball court during the day, and any place with a basketball atmosphere could make the depressed Sakuragi breathe a few more breaths.
In the end, it was Ryukawa Kaede who let Sakuragi turn the corner, although Sakuragi knew that he still had a future and should come out quickly, but Shonbei's last hope was indeed destroyed in his hands, and this obstacle stepped forward, and Sakuragi still had a psychological burden.
Liuchuan Feng originally did not intend to deliberately enlighten Sakuragi, but just happened to encounter, in fact, according to the logic of Liuchuan Feng's thinking, failure is not terrible, failure, put more time into training, make yourself stronger, in looking for an opponent to fight, the gentleman revenge for ten years is not too late, Liuchuan Feng hates failure, but is not afraid of failure.
Of course, at that time, Kaede Kawakawa's hostility towards Sakuragi was not so great, and he also saw Sakuragi's talent, so in the face of Sakuragi's question of who should be responsible for the basketball team's defeat, Kaede Yorikawa both intentionally and unintentionally told Sakuragi an objective fact.
It is sakuragi is not the key to determining the outcome of the Shonbei Hainan match, there are too many accidents in that game, Sakuragi has performed well enough, if there is no final performance of Sakuragi, Shonbei does not even have the opportunity to kill Hainan, although Mitsui's shot was interfered with by Kiyota, but it is undeniable that it was an opportunity created by Sakuragi.
In the face of Kaede Kaede who grabbed the name of "sinner" with himself, Sakuragi started to fight each other, and Kaede's words were very harsh for Sakuragi, but it also made Sakuragi understand that at that time, he was indeed not strong enough, not qualified to bear the loss of normal games, when the sinner also needs to be strong enough, on the basketball court, if you are too weak, the impact of your decision-making behavior will not be too big.
