[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"Practice dribbling on the spot first." After warming up, I wiped my sweat and said according to the coach's arrangement.

"Wait," a first-year school girl objected, "Although I can't be promoted to the first army, I'm not a beginner, so dribbling on the spot? Isn't that too contemptuous?"

"Tsk." Mayo Harada, a student of the same grade who has been promoted from the third army to the second army, let out a faceless chuckle, and sprayed it, "Sister, where do you think our Diguang is? Save some effort." Practice."

"You are a senior, not just the Second Army!"

I clapped my hands twice and said, "Honorful language, I hope you will say respectful language to senior sister in the future, unless you still feel that we are worthless after today." I raised my hand to the manager of the second army, Nana Narita at the same level Narita Nana knowingly threw a basketball to me.I shot the ball a few times, relaxed my wrist, adjusted my breathing, and then demonstrated the more basic dribbling methods, and then mixed them, passing the ball under the crotch, changing hands behind the back, changing feet, and turning around with the ball.I passed the ball to the girl who called out with one hand, and said, "Do you want to try it?"

She blushed.Not to mention her who has just been promoted, ordinary middle schools may not be as inhumane as Diguang, stuffing everything that can be practiced into the training list.I beckoned again and asked Nana Narita to throw the ball to Mayo Harada. Mayo Harada clicked his tongue and made the same movement as me just now.

"This is the basic, and newcomers will learn it sooner or later. Are there any more objections? Dribble on the spot." In Akashi Seijuro's opening speech, there is a saying that is right, that is, there must be a convincing foundation. Otherwise everything is empty talk.It is useless for me to deny that I am a realist.

After school, I messed up my tie and walked to the student council room.I shook my head and laughed.I thought too much, I already felt like I was defeated by Akashi on the first day.

"Takahashi, good afternoon." Kaede Kawamoto, the third-year student council president, waved to me.

"Sorry." I bowed slightly and closed the door behind my back.Today is also the day when the student union recruits students, but I can't help because of the women's basketball.I turned my head and wiped away the sweat from rushing over with my sleeve.

"Don't say that, you are willing to take over the task of bringing in newcomers, and I have to thank God." He Benfeng smirked and rubbed the back of his head, "Haha, this is a lot of things, I really count on you, haha."

Don't look at his stupid look, he is very popular in the school, and he is capable enough. His academic performance is second only to the women's basketball team captain Kaori Matsumoto, and he is a well-deserved student council president.

──So Wang Dao really is pretending to be a fool?

"I should do it." I put my schoolbag on the chair and stopped pretending to be stupid with him, "So, is there anything else the president wants me to do?"

"Have you been seen through? Wow, as expected of Master Takahashi."

──You are enough.

I looked at He Benfeng expressionlessly.

Kaede Kawamoto rubbed his nose and pointed to the sofa, "I have asked other newcomers to meet you during the lunch break tomorrow, but this Akashi-san..." When talking about him, Seijuro Akashi stood up politely from the sofa, Kawamoto Feng cast an approving glance, and continued: "He was late because he went to the entrance examination for the basketball club. Ah~ It's really troublesome, and we don't have the three armies to punish people, but he is late, so don't do it." Something seems unfair to other people."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Akashi, "Go to the basketball club first, and then come to the student union. Do you have any explanation?"

"It's because the basketball club is what I want to join the most." Akashi smiled slightly, "Of course, please don't get me wrong, on the premise that the basketball club is what I want to join the most, I also sincerely want to join the student union, it's just a matter of two parties. There is a conflict in the interview time. I am very sorry, and I understand your difficulties, but I still want to fight for it, and I hope my sister can give me a chance."

"Pass. Come to the student union room tomorrow during lunch break."

"Huh? Aha?" President He Benfeng stood up from his seat and opened his mouth like a fool, "That's, that's it? Then what about my consideration just now? Is it fair? Is it? Takahashi-sama, please Explain."

I turned my face away and exhaled softly, "You wanted to accept him, Kawamoto-senpai." First in grade, confident, and not casually lying, why is he not qualified? "He didn't put the student union first. If it affects his work performance, he can not be promoted in the future depending on the situation, but I believe that Akashi has the ability to complete general affairs, so he is qualified. Also, this is also the system Please go talk to the idiot in the basketball club and adjust the admission procedure. Fight for his sister."

"No, don't swear," He Benfeng said with two tears streaming down his face, "Sister, where did my gentle and lovely junior go? Even if you are going to be broken, please don't break it on the first day. Just like this, you were exposed in front of your juniors, you persisted for a whole semester last year before you showed up! Also, the idiot of the basketball club? Is this scolding yourself? Takahashi-sama!"

I turned my head to ignore him, and looked at Akashi, "Akashi, you can think about what position you want to be in charge of first." I handed him a document, "I will assign work during lunch break tomorrow, but I will also consider it." Your own will. As a consequence of your lateness, you will not arrive until all have been chosen."

"Yes, I understand." Akashi took it with both hands, "Thank you."

"It's your first day here, so I'll say it again. That's the president of the student union, Kaede Kawamoto, a third-year student. I'm the deputy director of foreign affairs, and Sakura Takahashi, a second-year student. I'll tell you about the others later."

"Yes, I understand."

I tugged on my tie.When I was sweating, I was still tied with a bow tie and wearing a school uniform shirt, which was very uncomfortable. "There are student union materials on the bookshelf. If you are interested, you can read it yourself. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Yes, please trouble Takahashi-senpai." After thanking him, Akashi Seijuro put down his schoolbag, turned around to read the materials obediently, and stayed quietly in the corner.

I looked sideways at Akashi.I haven't finished watching "Kuroko's Basketball", and the only impression I have of Akashi is the scene where he swung the scissors at Vulcan.However, it is really hard for me to imagine that the gentle and elegant student in front of me would do this.

"Sister Takahashi," the president, Kaede Kawamoto, lay on the table, his head popping out in front of my eyes, "what's the matter? Are you interested in Akashi-san? Do you want me to lend you "The Encyclopedia of Confessions"? Do you like it?" Under the year? But Hongcun Junior will cry, right?"

I pushed back all the fallen forehead hair, pulled out the chair and sat down, "It's not a solution if you don't hear it."

"Ah, you are still talking about the admission time. There is really nothing you can do." He Benfeng slid down from the table and sat opposite me, "Although it has been agreed before the school starts, everyone needs to coordinate the time." , but as a result, many clubs violated the rules. This is basically the same as in the past. It is a big scuffle for admissions. Your women's basketball team and men's basketball team are good. I completely ignore the rules of admitting students by time. Takahashi , you have to give me an explanation."

"One, it's not feasible. The entrance test of the sports club involves physical fitness, so it's understandable that it takes the whole afternoon. I made it clear in advance that the time is for the people who come to participate to decide for themselves; the men's basketball team completely ignores it. It has nothing to do with me, don't Come and ask me. Second, the distribution is uneven. Students are admitted in different periods, but there is no classification society to divide them into the same period, and the result is still chaotic."

"I know, that's what you meant at the meeting last year, right?" He Benfeng sighed, "But everyone is disobedient, and it's very difficult to get them to agree verbally. You can't be too tough, so as not to cause a backlash .”

"So I didn't insist, and I just let them mess up again." I propped my elbows on the table and rested my chin on the palm of my hand.

"...Very insidious! It was orderly at the beginning, but when everyone couldn't restrain their chaos, chaos broke out again~" He Benfeng said with a straight face, "then they will understand The need to arrange time well! Good shot! And then," he twitched the corner of his mouth, "after all, even if it was rejected last year, you actually didn't want to give up the matter of rectifying admissions at all, did you?"

I shrugged, "Facts speak louder than words."

"No wonder you were so obedient last time, let us just veto it like this!" He Benfeng covered his head and pretended to be crazy for a while, then turned to Akashi who was sitting in the corner, "Akashi-san, come here. As a freshman, you have just experienced What do you think about the club admission? Come on, first-year brain!"

──His last sentence was about what he wanted.

Akashi Seijuro ignored the strange part of the chairman's words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know if it is possible to add another day to the admission period?"

"This Takahashi said it." He Benfeng scratched his head, "But they are not willing to increase everyone's working hours, especially the big clubs are not short of people, they are not willing to compromise? And, one, two It is said that you must have the awareness to put the club first, and you have no sincerity to solve the problem at all.”

"Senior, did you mention dividing time periods by category?" Akashi smiled, "Normally, no one should join two sports clubs at the same time, so all sports clubs can be held on the same day, while other clubs generally have fewer people. Let them open for two consecutive days, and limit large-scale sports clubs to only one day. In this way, vicious competition can also be reduced between clubs with many people and few people. Those who are still happy will be happy for one more day, and everyone’s emotions should be taken into account. What’s more, in addition to time divisions, geographical divisions can also be distinguished, and after they are divided into categories, guides will be issued to new students, and everything will be in order.”

"That's it," Kaede Hemoto rubbed his chin, "Students who register only the next day, won't they be regarded as insincere? In the long run, there will be a label effect, for example, the first day of registration will give priority to admission or something."

I glanced at Akashi.The next sentence, he just came in, so it's hard to say.I half-raised my hand and interjected: "I think this is a matter of personal choice, and it has nothing to do with the student union. We have tried to give opportunities as much as possible."

"Takahashi," He Benfeng suddenly burst into tears again, "Don't say such cold-blooded words out of your mouth."

I looked at him and said calmly, "Go to hell."

"You're getting worse and worse...Okay, that's it, it sounds good. Akashi-san, you make a plan, and we'll talk about it at the next meeting. If it works, we'll propose it to the next class when we change the term. It can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of our class. If it fails, at least we must conduct a review.”

I leaned back in the chair, turned my wrist and pointed at Akashi with my thumb, "It's his first day of school today, Kawamoto-senpai, please pay attention to the workload."

"What?" Kaede Kawamoto rubbed the back of his head, "Akashi-san's face says it's all right."

"Fuck your mother, if you can do one hundred homework without sleep for 24 hours, does that mean I can really give you one hundred?"

"...Again! Don't fuck my mother! I'm going to fight you hard!"

I turned to look at Akashi Seijuro, "Don't force yourself."

"No, thank you," Akashi still had a polite smile on his face, "but I can do it. It's just that I need to borrow materials from the meeting. I don't know when the next meeting will be?"

"Next Wednesday."

"Yes, I'm sure it can be done, don't worry."

"That's it," He Benfeng stood up and picked up his schoolbag, "Takahashi just loves to worry. Alright, I'll go if there's no problem."

I stood up, "Sorry to keep you waiting today."

"No. You will be on the spring schedule, right? Let's work hard. Your captain has great expectations for this year." He Benfeng left with a smile.

I picked up my schoolbag and looked at Akashi, "You want to stay?"

"If possible." Akashi also stood up.

I looked at him for a while, and then handed him the room key, "Don't give it to anyone else, pay attention to safety, and return it to me tomorrow."

"Yes, I understand. Goodbye, Takahashi-senpai."

I waved to him, then turned and slammed my foot on the window frame.Going out here happens to be in the direction of the school gate, but if you walk from the gate, you have to make a big detour.The first floor of the meeting room was on the ground, I jumped down and went out.Last year's homeroom teacher Kusakabe-sensei just happened to pass by, looked at me, and then continued to pass by as if he hadn't seen anything.

On the contrary, Teacher Asami, who was following behind her, walked over anxiously.

"Gao, Takahashi!" The new teacher circled around me, "Are you okay? It's too dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt!"

I looked at him and smiled, "It's okay, thank you. Goodbye." I bowed slightly to him and then turned away, crossing my fingers and raising my arms.

"Hello." As soon as I left the school gate, Hongcun who was waiting next to me put a bottle of cold drink on my face.

"Sneeze." I covered my mouth and sneezed.

"... Huh?" Hongcun quickly took back the drink, "Are you sick?" The veins on his forehead popped out, "How many times have I said, it's spring now, spring, you guys still have to be careful, put your coat on Put it on, hey."

"It's stuck on my body, I don't want to wear it." I took the drink, "Thank you."

"The lights in the gymnasium of your Second Army are still on, so you don't need to lock the door?" Hongcun took my schoolbag and walked with me to the bus stop.

"I handed the key to the manager, it's fine."

"Manager? Isn't Ichikawa here?"

"..." I turned to look at him.

Hongcun twitched the corners of his mouth, "Hey, what expression."

"Last time I handed over the key to Ichikawa Asahi, and the next day it was out of shape, and I needed another pair; I handed it to Takai Satomi, and when the key came back, there was a smell of ramen; I handed it to Mayo Harada, and I Can't see it anymore. I'd be bankrupt with a new one, I don't want to try again, so just leave it to the manager Narita."

"...Your side is really lively." Hongcun looked at me sideways, "You really mixed up people from the three armies."

"Takai has been promoted to the first army, and Harada is also in the second army." I smiled, "The third army is looking for a newcomer."

Hongcun put his broad palm on top of my head, "Take your time, this is not a basketball club after all, take it easy."

"You don't agree?"

"I mean, don't forget that the game is the job."

"Why do you always feel that I can't do my job well?" I laughed, "The roster has been set, and I'm promoted to the starting lineup. This year, I'm aiming for the national championship."

"Hey, don't get me wrong." He rubbed my head, "It's not that I don't recognize your hard work, idiot. But you should at least put on the school uniform for me. I know no one cares about you, but the school uniform represents It's an attitude. It's normal to be worried."

"You really believe this?" I raised my eyebrows.

Hongcun pointed to the crumpled school uniform on my body and the neat school uniform on his body with his eyes, "It's the truth, hey."

I froze for a moment and laughed.It really is.

"..." Hongcun pouted and looked at me for a long time before continuing: "Forget it, I don't want to say such sensible things. Hey, do you want to eat ramen together? I invite you."

I stretched out my hand and patted him on the back, "It's okay, I have a sense of proportion. Let's go." I got on the bus, "Ramen every day, it's disgusting." My neighbors like to be with me anyway Ramen?

"Damn it, I paid for it, and you still hate me." Hongcun returned the schoolbag to me, "Got it, have a good rest today. Bye."

"Goodbye."

One month after school started, the spring schedule of the women's basketball team began. Ichikawa Asahi, Ichikawa and other sophomores were officially playing for the first time wearing Teiko Zhengsen's jerseys.In the first match in Tokyo, the opponent was not strong, but the captain Kaori Matsumoto was too cruel, and only the second graders were allowed to start.

"Woo," Takai Satomi sat on the bench, shrunk his head, "I'm afraid, I've only been promoted to the first army for a month!"

"Is there any mistake!" Ichikawa Asahi patted Takai Satomi's shoulder vigorously, "You should be excited! It's the starting lineup."

I reached out to help Ichikawa Asahi tie up the bun on the back of his head, turned my head to the second-year Nakamine Minamoto Koharu and said, "Later, you will be in charge of jumping the ball, and then pass it to Ichikawa. The others will try to pass the ball to Ichikawa as well." Ichikawa is Komae, the second-year scorer.

"Ah?" Yuan Xiaochun held his head, "What if I can't grab it?"

Ichikawa Asahi choked, "I. Definitely. Gotta grab it! You idiot, are you still awake?"

"If you can't grab it, the guards will come. According to what I said earlier, Gao Jing and I defend the defense and the outside line, and Da Qianfeng defends the rebound."

Omae Mine Chiuchi Yuki nodded seriously, "Yes." There were still bread crumbs on her lips.

I turned my head and looked at Kaori Matsumoto, "Captain, do you have any instructions?"

Kaori Matsumoto crossed her arms, "The third grade will play when you are about to lose, but at that time you have to prepare yourself for being downgraded. Alright, Takahashi, you take over the command." She wrinkled Frowning, "You need to gain more experience in the competition as soon as possible. Also," she cursed loudly, "Wake up my head! Wipe off the bread crumbs!" After saying this, she turned her face away After a while, she turned back immediately, "Listen," she took a deep breath, "What is the goal?"

The remaining eleven candidates on the bench said at the same time: "National champion!"

"Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!"

With the sound of the whistle, the players on both sides took their positions, and the basketball was thrown high in the midfield.

Game start.
