The weather is about to bloom, and the real hot summer is coming.

This summer, the Xiangyang basketball team is also very busy.The training plan prepared for the national competition was no longer available, and Fujima revised the daily training content, and the training volume was twice as heavy as before.

He said, don't complain to anyone, let alone think that if you bear it, you will end up with it. Even if I graduate, you still have to see me.He decided to stay in the team as a coach after he was admitted to university, and he would be full-time by then.

The old team members of the same class think this is too stubborn, and it’s not that the university does not have a basketball team, so why only apply for the university in the county? What is the purpose of clinging to the high school team?But no one dared to ask what was in their hearts.

As soon as the long-distance warm-up run was over, Huaxing came to Fujima's side and said, "Are you a little crazy? Recently, the morale of the team has been a little loose. You are anxious, but such an important matter as the entrance examination cannot be decided casually."

"I'm serious." Fujima took a deep breath.

"I really have such an idea. I hate leaving regrets and things that can't be completed. Hey, I just can't let go. Even if I have to change the method——I still want to realize it."

"You—" Huaxing shook her head.

"Hey, we are so familiar, don't say anything if you know me."

"Ah, it's just a preliminary plan."

Huaxing took off the glasses, wiped the sweat on the lenses with the corner of the vest, and put them back on.

"After warming up, go back to the gym for warm-up activities, coach."

"Very motivated, that's right!"

"Also, the final exam...is there no problem?"

"Of course!" It was an unnecessary question, Huagata and the other old players said that they had no grades.

"I said this year's newcomers."

"Should...should have passed the test." The flower shape is not very clear, the basketball team has never had any underachievers, so don't worry.

By the way, if you want to participate in major competitions, your grades should not be too bad. After all, students still have to focus on their studies. If your grades are not good, don't just worry about doing club activities. Staying in school for tutoring during the holidays is the right way!

After coming back from Nagoya, Mu had never met Kiyota. He heard from another newcomer who was also in the first grade that he was practicing in seclusion!ah?practice?Is it not to get rid of distracting thoughts, hide in the mountains, sit under the waterfall and take a shower, in order to pursue the state of pure heart and asceticism?The newcomer explained that it was a surprise review, and next Monday is the final exam!It was then that Mu remembered that the exam dates for each grade were different, and their third grade had already passed the exam.No wonder... Why did this kid sharpen his gun again, didn't he tell him that this is not a long-term solution!

In Hainan, for students like Mu Shen, when they go to ask for leave, the class teacher can at most frown and say, "I can't help it, I'm not going to be an example" and let them go with a wave of their hands. They don't even need to fill in the leave slip. His scores are all at the top of the whole grade and he has never violated the school rules, so the teacher is naturally relieved.So Mu generally couldn't understand Kiyota.

By the way, there is one more thing.Another team that qualified as No.2 this year is facing a more serious final exam crisis——

For the first time in several years, Xiangbei won the opportunity to participate in the national competition. However, except for the top student Akagi, the first five players are all "difficult households".Akagi had a headache, so he had to bow his head to the teacher to plead for mercy and give these four people a chance to make up the exam.Well, right now they are busy with the "training camp" before the make-up exam.Let's hope they make it through collectively.

I don't know if Sakuragi returned the money to him later, maybe not yet, the two schools are not so close and it is not so easy to meet.He didn't intend to take Kiyota to Nagoya, it was Kiyota who was obsessed with following after he found out, saying that he also wanted to meet a national-level opponent, the two met Sakura waiting for the pachinko shop to open on the way to the station Mu and his group, Sakuragi was also interested in meeting national-level players, so he left his friend and took the Shinkansen with them.Not to mention that high school students shouldn't play pachinko, can you win with only 500 yuan in gambling?It wasn't even enough to buy a Shinkansen ticket. There was no other way, so Kiyota bought the ticket for him. All along the way, he was yelling at him to remember to pay back the money when he went back!Not to mention that these two "monkeys" are quite congenial, they both wear the number 10 jerseys on the court, and they got acquainted after a while, a little money, in fact, Kiyota doesn't mind that much, they are both young people—huh , I am also a young man!

Forget it, it's still the team's holiday these days, and the coach made them consciously practice and barely show up in the gym, so don't be so strict about yourself as the captain.

Mu suddenly remembered that the fireworks display would be in a few days, and he had been busy with training and studying, so he hadn't visited the temple fair and night market for several years, so why not take this opportunity——

It's no fun to go shopping alone, and he doesn't have a girlfriend.You can invite teammates or classmates, but it doesn't feel so good to go to the night market with a few big boys, not to mention that they may not have girlfriends.

He thought, if I don't ask that guy, I felt a little uncomfortable when I did it like that in the fast food restaurant last time. The atmosphere of the fireworks show is good, and I won't be embarrassed if I use the beautiful atmosphere to say what I want to say clearly!

Mu returned home, had dinner, and checked the time.It's almost eight o'clock, so I guess it's time to go home.

He picked up the receiver and dialed the number of Fuji Ma's house.

After thinking about the ringing for a few times, someone answered, "Hello!" A young female voice came from the other side of the microphone.Eh, little girl?Although Mu was strange, he politely asked her to ask Kenji Fujima to answer the phone, if he wasn't there... before he finished speaking, he heard a murmur from the opposite side.

"Sorry, my sister was making trouble just now." This time Fujima's voice came over clearly.

"Oh, oh, it's okay...you have a younger sister, I never knew about it."

"Did I not say that? Ah, forget it, that's not important. What's your business?"

"Well, let me ask you first, are there any arrangements for the night of the 25th?" Then he tactfully proposed to invite the other party.

Hearing Fujima's "hahaha" laugh.

"Hey, let me tell you, you have a really thick skin. First you embarrass others, making them unable to get off the table, and after a while, you continue to play with others like a normal person. Hey, what are you thinking in your mind?"

Mu instinctively let out an "ah".He smacked his lips, "It's fine if you don't have time, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Don't, don't get angry so quickly. A man's thick skin is not a shortcoming."

"To go or not to go, a word!"

"That's right! This is like you."

"See you at the station then. That's right, no one else is allowed. Bye."

You can tease with a playful smile when you are rejected, without any sign of embarrassment, you don't know what reserve is, and you ask to go to the appointment alone like a normal person, I don't think you have a thin skin!If you think thick skin is an advantage, then say you have no shame!Mu put down the receiver in displeasure.

But that's it.

At seven o'clock in the evening next to the 25th, Mu was already waiting in front of the appointed bus stop.

After all, it was he who proposed it, so it should have come earlier.Before going out, I struggled with the question of what to wear for a long time. It is said that I should wear a yukata, but, two big boys are shopping at the night market together... Which yukata should I wear!Dressing too neatly and formally is not suitable for the atmosphere, but you can't wear team uniforms, right?He finally got bored, so he just put on a T-shirt and sandals and went out.

Fujima didn't eat either, and came across from the opposite side of the road on time.

Seeing that the other party was dressed in shorts, a T-shirt and sneakers, Mu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two had the same opinion on this point.

There are so many people in the night market.The eyes are full of couples in bathrobes and a family of three. People like them are obviously different.

Knowing that he would not come, Mu put his hands into the pockets of his shorts, regretting a bit.Those things at the roadside stalls are nothing new, they are just old items such as fishing for goldfish and water polo, and he is not interested in snacks.Glancing at the people next to him from the corner of his eye, he seemed to be thinking the same as himself at this moment.

Fujima hardly spoke, and walked silently while looking at the stalls on both sides from time to time, without showing any interest.

"That," Mu scratched his nose, "maybe we will meet someone we know."

"Are you afraid and feel ashamed?" Teng Zhen squinted at him and raised his left eyebrow.

"You can't change your tone? I'll just say it casually. Maybe I met someone from Xiangyang."

"That's just right, it's also good to know about their private life, hehe, it's interesting."

Huh?Why is this loud voice so familiar, Mu couldn't help but look up and look around.I saw Kiyota wearing a dark blue bathrobe standing in front of the shooting booth, followed by two girls also wearing bathrobes.

Hey boy!Didn't it mean that I was bored studying at home... Ah, yes, the final exam of the first grade seems to have just ended.Are those two girls from our school?When did he make the move? Not only is this guy fast on the court, he is also not inferior in other aspects!

"Hey, who did you see?" Fuji was really curious, and followed his gaze.

"No, it's nothing, there are too many people, I was dazzled and misread it!" Mu hurriedly squeezed the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's go to the beach." If Qingtian finds out, he has to explain to him.This kid has a big mouth, he might not know what to say in the team, so let's just pretend he didn't see it.

There are also many people waiting to watch the fireworks under the night by the beach.

Mu thought about it, now let's say something!But he didn't want to be preempted by Tengzhen, he said:

"Isn't it that you are happy to bring a girl in a brightly colored yukata with you, and you can introduce it to people you know with openness and pride?"

Could it be that he discovered Qingtian just now?

"You should have said it earlier! My sister left a lot of clothes and cosmetics at home, as well as bathrobes and wigs."

"..." Mu should say what to say, where is this and where is it!This guy is twisted, go to the psychiatrist as soon as possible to see if he can be corrected as soon as possible!

"You're too tall for a woman."

"That's it, then there is no way." Fuji really shrugged. "You like petite?"

"Also, I'm not unhappy." Mu spread his hands and said, "I haven't come to play for a few days, I didn't expect it to be the same, I'm just a little disappointed."

Suddenly, a light came from above, illuminating the night sky and people's faces.

Mu couldn't help raising his head, staring at the beautiful moment in full bloom.Suddenly, he felt a heat on his back and a tightness on his waist.

"Don't, don't look back."

The night sky darkened again.

Just now... Fujima stood next to him with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened, looking up at the sky indifferently.Forget it, it's just an illusion.

"We will always be friends." Mu said seriously. "Even after graduation, I still regard you as a worthy opponent. No matter what happens in the future, I will never forget you." Oh, this wording is too rustic!As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was speechless.

Fujima's face instantly filled with anger.

A second ray of light illuminates the night sky.

He held Mu's cheek with both hands.

"Do you really understand, huh!?"

Fireworks burn out.Fujima let go of his hand, and nodded while taking a few steps back.

"Wow, your face is really big!"

"!"

He is so naive!The sadness and helplessness that this guy showed are absolutely all his own illusions!illusion!illusion!illusion!

Everything tonight was a total illusion!

At the beginning of the summer vacation, most of the sports clubs preparing to participate in the competition went to out-of-town bases for closed training, and the school's gymnasium suddenly became lonely.

Of course there are exceptions.

The rookie Sakuragi, who has become a talking point in the county, did not go to Shizuoka with the whole team, and was left alone in the gymnasium by their coach Anzai.No matter how good his potential is, no matter how amazing his growth is, he has only played basketball for three months. The coach believes that teaching him something alone is better than practicing with everyone.

- Shooting practice is so fun!

Sakuragi, who claims to be a "genius" all day long, has experienced unprecedented fun from this boring and arduous exercise.Just because he is a rookie, Akagi either let him practice basic dribbling or passing with the female manager all day long, that is really boring!Besides, such a simple thing, a genius can learn it all at once!

Thinking back to my poor shooting in the preliminaries... I couldn't make a shot at all!If, if this genius had learned this technology earlier, Xiangbei would have dominated the country long ago, at least taking the first place in the county, hahaha!Hmm, it's not too late, the national competition!Just wait and see!

Xiangyang's gymnasium is also filled with the sound of hitting the ball, the sound of basketball soles rubbing against the floor, and Fujima's scolding.

"Run, keep up, keep up!"

"Yes, that's it. When you stop in an emergency, you must stop your steps, and remember to use your waist strength well!"

"Don't be nervous when making free throws, and don't be disturbed by the noise on the court. And your posture..." He walked to the basket and instructed the group of practice shooting.

"The ball is not thrown, but thrown, don't use your arms so hard. Do you know the ancient trebuchet? Think about the throwing arm of the trebuchet, it feels like that. I don't know, never seen it? How about your history? Learned!"

He personally stepped forward to demonstrate.

"Here, practice like this."

"But...the left hand and the right hand feel different." Someone raised an objection in a low voice, but unfortunately he heard it.

"Oh? Right-handers have an absolute advantage in numbers, so it's amazing?"

"I didn't mean that, I'm sorry, Coach."

"Then what do you mean? I forced you to use your left hand? It doesn't matter which hand you are used to, the practice method is the same, stop talking nonsense!"

"Yes!"

I heard that the Hainan team went to Izu, that guy... it would be better if his blood was sucked dry by leeches and turned into a super mummy!Fuji really cursed angrily.

He was rejected one after another, for the first time in his life.It's not that he's boasting. In this boys' school, every grade and every class can find his admirers.I receive letters from female fans every now and then, many of which come with photos—what are you doing, is this a blind date?

Who is that guy, shameless?But he is not pure crooked, he knows this in his heart.Whether it's a man or a woman, if you don't like it, can you agree!In that case, is he admitting that he likes that guy?Why, no, he just likes to shame his face, okay!

Seeing that the coach seems to be lost in thought, several team members couldn't help talking, talking about the school festival in a low voice.

"Hey, hey! What are you talking about? The school festival is still early, I said, can you stop thinking about eating and playing all day long!"

Whoops, this guy has really good ears.

Of course, you have to watch all directions and listen to all directions on the court!

In early August, strong high school basketball teams from all over the country rushed to Hiroshima one after another.

Mu immediately went to check the battle table.The qualifiers adopt a round system, that is, if you lose, you will be eliminated.Hainan is lucky this year, and the first game can build momentum, but Xiangbei is unlucky!He was actually in a group with Sanno Industrial High School.The Sanno Gonggao basketball team from Akita Prefecture has a great reputation and is truly the number one team in the country. Hainan was defeated by them last year, and they are so strong.Fortunately, it wasn't the first match. Their first round match was... Fengyu High School?

He suddenly remembered that the guy who injured Fujima last year belonged to this school!The two-character name is very strange. I remember that the single surname is "Nan" or "North". What impresses me the most is his nickname of "Ace Killer".It happened that Xiangbei and Fengyu also came to watch the battle table, so he reminded Xiangbei a few words in a low voice.This can be regarded as the best of benevolence, and their winning or losing has nothing to do with themselves.

Back at the hotel where we stayed, coach Gaotou allocated a room for four people, managed his own diet and daily life, supervised each other, and did not steal snacks!

On the first day when I came to Hiroshima, there was nothing else to say in Hainan.

Woke up early the next morning and went to watch the match between Xiangbei and Fengyu.

OMG, what a rude Osaka dialect!Hearing the earth-shattering cheers from Fengyu High School in the auditorium, Mu Zhen wanted to cover his ears. Kanto people are not used to Kansai dialect, and all kinds of swear words mixed with booing whistles. The school spirit is so bad, no wonder There will be an "Ace Killer".

Sure enough, the ace killer made his move in the first half and hit Rukawa Feng in the face with an elbow, causing him to be carried down on a stretcher.

Mu couldn't help feeling tense, without Rukawa, Xiangbei would be in jeopardy.It is true that Akagi is the spiritual backbone of the whole team, but neither offense nor defense can bypass the core of Rukawa. He is indeed the ace core of the whole team.If this elbow wasn't intentional, it's not impossible to avoid it, at least it wouldn't be so powerful, it was obviously intentional, but the referee only gave an intentional foul, and didn't send the opponent off, because - there is no evidence to prove it His true thoughts!On the surface, the intentional foul is severe enough, but it is far from worth the heavy damage to the opponent team.

Rukawa Feng is back!In the second half, he insisted on playing the game with his injured left eye, but his strength was not affected much. On the contrary, the ace killer Nan Lie was shaken, and his shots frequently failed, giving Xiangbei a chance to overtake.

Fujima... If there was a chance, he would grit his teeth and return to the field. I still remember the blood on his head was left on the floor, alas!After all, basketball is still a physical confrontational sport.As a striker, Rukawa's body is a little thinner, but he is still stronger and taller than Fujima, and he can barely restrain this.In my own words... I will never let this happen!Maybe he is the kind of person who is a bit insidious. Knowing the virtues of the opponent, you don't have to be polite, and act first, drive him out of the field before he makes a move, and he has an obligation to ensure the safety of the whole team.Mu suddenly felt a fire burning in his heart. If he fights Fengyu this year, he must completely defeat them!

The final result of the competition, Xiangbei won!

Nan Lie still moved later, as if he intended to make Rukawa completely absent from the game, but for some reason—maybe his conscience discovered it, he held his knees when he jumped up, and instead let himself fall and smash his head when he landed, and he was simply bandaged After returning to the field, he suddenly came to his senses, and the whole team also restrained their previously unskilled tricks and devoted themselves to the few games left, but it was hard to save the game.

"That Rukawa, I guess his eyes won't heal in the next few days, and he met the king of the mountain, tsk tsk, they're done."

"Don't gloat." Mubai gave Qingtian a look.As far as Rukawa's level is concerned, even if the field of vision is limited, the obstruction should not be too great, and I hope that it will not affect the vision in the future.The problem is the opponent, the country's top team is really not something they can deal with, the strength is too far behind, and the one-sided atmosphere on the field alone will be very depressing.

I don't have time to think about other things. Tomorrow is the first round match in Hainan.

Fujishin, who is far away in Kanagawa, also remembers the national competition.

—Anyway, I can't do it.

Even if the opponent is a despicable villain, he can't use the same tricks. On the contrary, the more he does this, the more he has to defeat the opponent from the front, which proves that no matter how much you play a scoundrel, you can't beat me. We will always stand on different heights.

That Nan Lie... can't be judged from this to be an outright despicable villain, and he has no contact with him in normal times, so he doesn't know what he is like, but as far as his performance at the time is concerned, his means are despicable. Everyone wants to win, and it's bad to use any means!Forget it, no matter how much entanglement is in the past tense, I hope that none of them who represent Kanagawa will repeat the mistakes they made last year.

That guy is fine... right?

Cut, this worry is unnecessary.With his strong physique, he is still alive and kicking after a few elbows!Obviously not much taller than yourself, why is there such a big gap in stature?Um, but... I'm still a little... a little worried.Oh, I really want to go, I really want to fly to Hiroshima right away!

"It's not over yet! We have to run two more laps!"

Facing the scorching sun, the main players of the Xiangyang basketball team ran around the playground under the leadership of the coach.

Distraction is not an option!In order to recover in the Winter Cup...we also have our own goals, so we must concentrate! (However, I still want to go to Hiroshima.)

In the match between Hainan and Ma Gongxi High School from Iwate Prefecture, Hainan was easy and won by a big score.Kiyota got his wish and stole the limelight at his national competition debut.

After the game, they stayed to watch the next duel between Shanwang and Xiangbei, intending to study Shanwang's tactics this year.

The vast majority of the audience thought that this was just a promotional match for Shanwang, a small warm-up before the final.What is Xiangbei, thinking that winning the first game is enough to fight against the king of the mountain, it is too naive!

But the whole game surprised these people, and many of them even turned against each other to cheer for Xiangbei involuntarily.

Rukawa Kaede's left eye has recovered a lot and can be fully opened. Sakuragi's jump shooting skills are also decent. The last game surprised the audience from Kanagawa. The rest of the three are also in good condition.This guy is not bad!Overcome so quickly, the pre-match pressure is gone now.

This is really a wonderful game!It's been a long time since Mu watched the battle so ecstatically. Just watching it made his blood boil, and later he cheered Xiangbei as loudly as Kiyota.It was difficult to find a suitable wording summary for a while. In terms of objective strength, the gap between Xiangbei and Shanwang cannot be greatly reduced in a short period of time. Xiangbei relies entirely on the explosion of spiritual power to last until the last second. Beyond the body, above the skill of the game, he gave the opponent a great shock in terms of momentum. It was the almost heroic spirit shown in the previous match with Hainan. Of course, the king of the mountain is the king of the mountain, and it is impossible to be easily defeated Scared, the game was coming to an end, all the players present no longer held back and put out all their abilities to compete, but in the end, luck favored Xiangbei more, and luck is also a small part of strength... In short, it is hard to say, you must have a good time with someone when you find an opportunity Talk about the details.

It's a pity that Xiangbei lost the third game to Aihe Academy, the school where "Aichi Star" is located, but the last game was too exhausting, and Sakuragi was injured and absent, the result was expected.They have no regrets in this competition. They were able to eliminate the king of the mountain and add luster to Kanagawa County. This is something that Hainan, the king of the county, has never done.

Well, starting from the interests of Hainan right now, Shan Wang has left, and the psychological pressure of the subsequent games will be less.I really want to thank those guys from Shohoku, leave the rest to them, and work hard together for Shohoku's sake, so we won't embarrass Kanagawa!
