Chapter 79: Chapter 49: Coach Anzai's Persuasion



Ring, ring, ring…

Just as Kara Smith walked out of the gymnasium, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone and answered it, and...

After listening for a while, Kara Smith's pupils suddenly shrank, her expression began to panic, and her tone became anxious. "What did you say? How could this happen? I know, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Kara Smith was extremely anxious. She took quick and hasty steps and trotted to catch up with Jack Carter, who was quietly waiting in front.

Jack Carter had already stopped there waiting for her.

After all, he also felt the panic that Kara Smith just felt.

Kara Smith ran to Jack Carter and said very quickly: "Jack, it's bad. Ayako just called and said that Coach Anzai suddenly fainted and is now in the hospital for treatment."

Hearing this, Jack Carter was startled, and the relevant plot in the original book flashed through his mind.

He remembered that there seemed to be such a thing in the original book.

Is it this period of time?

He still has a good impression of Coach Anzai.

Although he was a bit eccentric after joining Shohoku and could never fit in with the team.

But he still has great respect for the coach.

"Let's go to the hospital quickly!" said Kara Smith.

Jack Carter nodded.

The two went straight to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the hospital.

Inside a famous hospital in Kanagawa.

Jack Carter and Kara Smith rushed over and saw at a glance that the members of the Shohoku Basketball Team were standing quietly outside the operating room like sculptures.

Kara Smith was extremely worried. She trotted forward and asked with a trembling voice, "What's the situation? Where's Coach Anzai?"

Ayako's face was filled with worry, her brows furrowed, and she sighed and said, "It's been half an hour since the operation, and there's still no news."

"Why did it happen so suddenly? He was fine before." Kara Smith said with a panicked and confused look.

At this time, all the starting players of Shohoku gathered at the door of the operating room.

Takenori Akagi frowned and looked serious.

Hisashi Mitsui leaned against the wall, his eyes worried.

Ryota Miyagi paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

Kaede Rukawa stood quietly, expressionless.

Hanamichi Sakuragi looked annoyed and kept stamping his feet.

The substitute players were left to play the game.

Everyone was immersed in worry, with almost no communication between them, just waiting silently.

Jack Carter did the same, he found a seat in the corner and sat down quietly.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Suddenly, Hanamichi Sakuragi rushed to Jack Carter like a madman, and stared at Jack Carter with a pair of angry eyes.

Jack Carter was stunned by this sudden action, slowly raised his head, and looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi.

The two people's eyes formed a sharp contrast, one was undisguised anger and blame, the other was shabby indifference and laziness.

However, the next moment, tears suddenly welled up in Hanamichi Sakuragi's eyes, and bean-sized tears rolled down his cheeks.

This made Jack Carter look confused.

Is this guy seriously ill?

"It's all your fault. You made my dad so mad that he fainted." Hanamichi Sakuragi cried and raised his hand, pointing at Jack Carter with trembling hands, as if he was accusing an unforgivable sinner.

"Ah?" Jack Carter raised his eyebrows, looking confused at first, then he came to his senses in an instant and immediately retorted angrily. "What nonsense are you talking about? What does the coach's fainting have to do with me?"

The other people around were also stunned by this scene.

What's going on?

Why did they suddenly start arguing?

"It's you, it's you. If you hadn't left early, Dad wouldn't be angry and he wouldn't have fainted." Hanamichi Sakuragi said this with great righteousness, as if that was indeed the case.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Their brains went blank and they didn't know how to react for a moment.

Jack Carter was stunned for several seconds, then his face flushed with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted angrily: "a**hole, what are you talking about? The game was already won at that time, couldn't I leave early? The coach agreed to me leaving, why did he say it was my fault when the coach fainted?"

Hanamichi Sakuragi seemed to have become attached to Jack Carter, and continued to yell without giving a shit: "I don't care, it's all because of you, it's all your fault."

Jack Carter's face gradually twisted, and a big well-shaped "swoosh" popped out on his forehead. He jumped up and down, staring at Hanamichi Sakuragi in front of him with gritted teeth, wishing he could pull out all the teeth of this idiot in front of him.

Seeing this, Kara Smith was very unhappy and couldn't help but said to Hanamichi Sakuragi: "Sakuragi...how can you blame Jack for the coach's problems! You are obviously unreasonable!"

Ayako also hurried forward to dissuade him. "Yes! Sakuragi, you are a bit too much to say that about Jack Carter."

Hanamichi Sakuragi turned around with tears in his eyes and looked at Kara Smith and Ayako.

His expression at this moment was full of grief, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and self-blame. That look made the two girls instantly at a loss. The words they originally wanted to continue to persuade him were now swallowed back into their stomachs.

Beep...

Just then, the operating room indicator light went out.

For a moment, everyone held their breath and stared at the door of the operating room.

Soon, the door of the operating room was opened.

The doctor pushed the operating table out steadily. Everyone seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and quickly gathered around like a tide, their eyes full of anxiety and concern.

Hisashi Mitsui was anxious and rushed forward first, his voice trembling slightly due to nervousness. "Doctor, how is Coach Anzai?"

The doctor calmly glanced at everyone, then a reassuring smile appeared on his face, he nodded, and said, "Don't worry, the operation was successful, and all you have to do next is rest."

Phew...

Everyone at Shohoku seemed to have their taut strings pulled out at the same time. They all breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and the gloom on their faces instantly dissipated for the most part.

Takenori Akagi's body, which was originally as tense as a bow, completely relaxed at this moment, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a relieved smile. "That's great."

Ayako raised her hand and patted her chest, saying with lingering fear: "I was really scared. I hope you're okay. I hope you're okay."

Kara Smith patted her huge chest and smiled youthfully again.

Soon, the doctor properly arranged Coach Anzai into a private ward.

At this time, only Coach Anzai's wife was quietly by his side in the ward.

The Shohoku people were worried that they would disturb Coach Anzai's rest in the ward, so they all gathered outside the door.

Everyone wanted to wait until Coach Anzai woke up before leaving.

Time passed by every second.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was opened.

A middle-aged woman in a plain kimono walked out with soft steps.

The woman had a kind face and eyes like a clear spring, gentle and peaceful. Her black hair was neatly tied behind her head, and her every move exuded a gentle and virtuous temperament.

This woman is Coach Anzai's wife, Mrs. Anzai.

Mrs. Anzai smiled and looked at the people waiting outside the door with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Mitsuyoshi has woken up. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Very good.

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of relief.

Mrs. Anzai turned her gaze to Takenori Akagi and said gently, "Come in with me first, Akagi! He has something to tell you."

"Yes..." Takenori Akagi responded quickly.

Everyone was tactful and didn't make any noise to disturb them.

Although I am curious about what the coach will say to Takenori Akagi, now is obviously not the time to cause trouble.

Not long after, Takenori Akagi walked out of the ward.

Just as everyone was about to ask, he looked at Hisashi Mitsui and said, "Coach Anzai wants you to come in."

Hisashi Mitsui was slightly stunned, then quickly walked to the door of the ward, pushed it open, and walked in.

After a while, he also pushed open the door and walked out. For some reason, the expression on his face showed a hint of emotion, a hint of self-blame, a hint of regret, a hint of determination... In short, it was very complicated.

The rest is just like roll call.

Ryota Miyagi → Kaede Rukawa → Hanamichi Sakuragi were called into the ward one by one.

After that, it was Ayako and Kara Smith.

Coach Anzai actually called two girls at the same time.

But no one thought much about it, after all, the two women were team managers.

If Coach Anzai wants to arrange something, it is normal for both of them to notify at the same time.

In the end, Jack Carter was the only one whose name was not called by Coach Anzai.

Soon, the two women also came out of the ward.

Kara Smith said to Jack Carter, "Jack, it's your turn! Coach Anzai wants to tell you something."

Jack Carter nodded slightly, without any hesitation, raised his hand, pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in steadily.

As soon as Jack Carter stepped into the ward, he saw Coach Anzai lying on the bed, smiling at him kindly.

"Coach." Jack Carter hurried forward and greeted him respectfully.

Hohohoho…

Coach Anzai chuckled and raised his hand to signal, "Take a seat first!"

Jack Carter didn't hesitate and walked straight to the chair beside the bed and sat down.

For a moment, the ward fell into a strange silence.

Coach Anzai looked at Jack Carter with a burning gaze, and Jack Carter looked back at him without avoiding the question. The two just stared at each other, and neither of them spoke first.

This silence made Mrs. Anzai, who was standing by, curious, and she couldn't help but look closely at the young man in front of her.

Before this, she had heard her husband mention this student whom he was very optimistic about many times. Her husband always had high standards. The fact that he praised someone so highly showed that this young man must have something extraordinary.

After a long time, Coach Anzai was the first to break the silence and said softly: "Jack Carter...you must be very confused now!"

Jack Carter didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but just looked at the coach quietly, but he vaguely guessed what the other party was going to say next.

Coach Anzai continued, "You are the most talented player I have ever seen in my life. When I first saw your talent, I was really shocked. I never thought there was such a talented person like you in the world."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But because of this, your talent limits your growth. I think you should have felt it, too!"

Jack Carter remained silent.

In his heart, he couldn't help but admire the coach in front of him.

His vision is so sharp, and every word he says hits the point precisely.

He is indeed at a bottleneck now.

Just as the data provided by the system shows, once your strength reaches 99%, it will be difficult to make further progress no matter how hard you try.

Zone's state is always in a semi-awakened state.

At this time, Coach Anzai said earnestly: "You are very strong now. You may be invincible in high school. It is normal that you don't meet opponents, but basketball is not just about high school."

Coach Anzai's eyes were gentle but full of unquestionable determination.

He said with expectation: "Jack Carter...you have a talent that everyone envies.

But basketball is never a one-person sport.

You always choose to attack alone and choose the most labor-saving way to score.

This may seem effective, but it will actually make you lose your true love for basketball."

True love?

Jack Carter frowned, not quite understanding what Coach Anzai said.

Coach Anzai took a deep breath and continued, "Jack Carter, what do you enjoy most, the sport of basketball itself, or the feeling of superiority from easily defeating your opponents time and time again?"

Jack Carter was stunned.

He had never thought about this question.

Did he ever enjoy himself when he played basketball?

When I was a kid, I played basketball just for fun.

Now when I play basketball, I just want to find a decent opponent and have a good game.

Seeing Jack Carter remained silent, Coach Anzai continued, "With your ability, you are already qualified for the team to choose.

Although I really want you to integrate into the team, I will not force you.

This still requires you to make a choice.

I just hope you can remember that behind you, there are a group of teammates you can rely on."

Jack Carter's frown deepened.

Teammate?

Of course he had thought about this.

only...

It is of no use at all during competition.

The basketball is most reliable in his hands.

After a long while, Jack Carter spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of confusion. "I...I'll consider it."

Hohohoho…

Coach Anzai just smiled and did not blame Jack Carter.

He still said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, I believe you will figure it out one day."

Seeing that Coach Anzai had nothing to say, Jack Carter just stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Coach Anzai's slightly vicissitudes but powerful voice sounded behind him. "Jack Carter..."

Jack Carter paused and turned around.

Coach Anzai looked at Jack Carter with encouragement in his eyes, and said word by word: "If you find it really boring, why not try to train an opponent yourself! I once said to someone: It is not because of you that this basketball team exists.

It is because of this basketball team that you exist.

Although this sentence is not suitable for you, since you chose to join Shohoku, then think about the significance of the Shohoku team!"

Hearing this, Jack Carter's pupils trembled.

Cultivate opponents?!

What is the significance of the Shohoku team?

Isn't the purpose of a team to dominate the country?

As for cultivating opponents.

This seems possible, but who should be trained?

Kaede Rukawa?

Hanamichi Sakuragi?

Sendoh?

Shinichi Maki?

He kept chewing on these people's names in his mind, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Thinking this way, Jack Carter finally walked out of the ward.

As soon as Jack Carter came out, Kara Smith came over. "Jack...what did Coach Anzai say to you? It took so long."

Ayako also came closer, with a searching gleam in her eyes. "Yeah! You've been in there the longest."

"Nothing." Jack Carter said calmly. "Kara, let's go back!"

"Huh?" Kara Smith was slightly startled, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, and then she hurriedly said: "Jack, you can't do this!"

Jack Carter didn't care and walked straight out of the hospital.

The other members of Shohoku all had dark faces, glaring at Jack Carter as he walked away.

Takenori Akagi: "This b*****d is still the same."

Hisashi Mitsui: "I can't stand him. Does he have team spirit?"

Ryota Miyagi: "I think he can't do anything else except basketball!"

Kaede Rukawa: "..."

Hanamichi Sakuragi: "Hmph... You conceited guy, you are so arrogant... so arrogant... so arrogant..."
