The End of the Beginning is the End
And so the season started with Shohoku's all new line up. There was an air of excitement among the crowd as the Shohoku Team was introduced and when it was Koshino's turn, a loud cheer broke up from the stands. He could see that a whole box was cheering for him. They were all in that familiar blue uniform with Japanese characters; Ryonan High. Koshino was on the verge of tears.
Everyone except for the Ryonan crowd was wondering why Hiroaki Koshino, then of Ryonan High, was now happily playing for the Nationals bound Shohoku.
Everyone was so surprised and impressed by the performance of Shohoku's new players, especially Ron who kept doing dunk shots even if it wasn't necessary. And from the bench, Mitsui kept cheering for him, he smiled at this.
Sakuragi already had a name for himself: Rebound King. From the stands, he caught a glimpse of Takenori Akagi, who seemed to be very proud of his former team. The red-head saluted to him in return. Haruko was cheering aggressively for him and his bestfriends were no longer making fun of his wrong moves.
Rukawa's fan club was now Rukawa-Luka fan club. They showed equal energy, it was hard to tell who was more skilful. But it wasn't necessary; they were in the same team after all. Competition among team mates was not required.
Miyagi was glowing with his new uniform, jersey #4. He was more of a leader now, still, he kept looking at Ayako, apparently checking if she was impressed by his magnificent performance.
The circulation of substitutes were fair, they all got to play even for a very little time. Kirin went red when he grabbed his first rebound, the opponents were shocked by how high he could jump. Sakuragi was cheering so loud.
And when Koshino made for the court, the Ryonan crowd cheered even louder. Akira Sendoh was among them. In the midst of a hundred faces in the crowd, he spotted him.
He smiled,
He smiled back.
