[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

Chapter 11 The Footsteps of Youth

"Gaoqiao," Hongcun, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, stood in front of the gymnasium, and called, "Come to fight?" It was after another day's work.

"Well, please give me more advice." I walked towards the men's basketball team's first team gymnasium, greeted the men's basketball team's first team coach Sanada who hadn't left yet, and walked to the center of the field with the ball with Hongcun.

"Huh~huh──" The men's basketball team whistled and booed, and some women's basketball team came over, resting and watching.

Hongcun holds the ball, shoots, shoots, shoots, the basketball gradually accelerates under Hongcun's right hand, he suddenly dribbles sideways and staggers me.Want to pass me by like this?I also hurriedly chased two steps, stepped in front of him, spread my hands wide, and my body approached, so entangled that he had to turn his back to me to protect the ball, and he suddenly turned around and made a beautiful jumper and scored.This is the free-throw line, and he turned and shot from here.

Is this a joke?

Hongcun looked at me provocatively.

I wiped my sweat with my sleeve.This is just a warm up.

one-on-one.

When we fought again, the positions were adjusted, Hongcun defended, and I attacked.I bent down sharply, keeping the height of the ball at the lower half of my calf, with my back to Hongcun, and kept the ball.Hongcun came up from behind me, his physique and strength put a lot of pressure on me.I exhaled lightly, then concentrated, made a quick fake move to shake Huahongcun's sight, and then shot the ball from under the step, turned around and passed Hongcun, chased the ball again before him, and walked up basket.This kind of sudden speed, I am slightly better than Hongcun.

in.

The basketball fell with the trembling white net and fell to the ground.I exhaled again to balance my breathing rhythm, and looked towards Hongcun.He grabbed the jersey on his chest and wiped his face, pouted, bent down, put one hand on his knee, and waved at me with the other.

Come again.

I took the ball thrown by someone else, and I attacked again, trying to make a layup.I can't just play handsome and shoot long shots. Hongcun is a big front and has a strong ability to catch rebounds. If I miss, I can't compete with him.

He has the ability to make people dare not shoot from long distances.

Ten minutes later, it was six to six.We laughed and shook hands as the others clapped.The players on both sides are watching. Hongcun and I are just having fun, and we won't try our best to avoid embarrassing the other side.But when it comes to serious fights, one-on-one rather than full-court, the outcome between me and Hongcun is still hard to say; if it's a full-court, it depends on my teammates and command ability, and my physique is much worse than Hongcun's. To play the full court, I am afraid I will be beaten badly.

The spring competition is only halfway through, but others say that Diguang's Hongcun building is the number one frontier in the middle school world.

I don't know what he will become when those five "generations of miracles" and sunspots emerge.

I looked at Hongcun, who was talking to my teammates energetically, and smiled.

He looks fine now.

"Senior Takahashi," a very cute junior handed me a bottle of water, "please use it."

I glanced at her long pink hair, "Thanks. Are you?"

"Ah, I'm the new manager of the men's basketball team, and I'm born Momoi May."

I remember her, Momoi Mayzuki is the data analysis expert in "Black Basket" and the team manager of the Generation of Miracles.I looked at her, raised my head and took a sip of water, "Are you interested in coming to the women's basketball team?"

"Eh? Eh?" Momoi Wuyue waved her hands in a panic and said, "I, I, eh? That, Ah Da, ah, is my friend Aomine Daiki, he is in the men's basketball team. Sorry, really very I'm sorry, Takahashi-senpai, but I can't join the women's basketball team. Thank you very, very much for your invitation! It's my honor!"

The veins on Hongcun's face burst out suddenly, and he came over and covered my head with his towel, "I'm not dead yet, hey, is it really okay to dig people in front of me?"

"Not hygienic." I quickly removed his towel and threw it back, "It's okay, Momoi-san, don't worry about it."

"Cut." Hongcun pouted and picked up his towel, "Hey, Takahashi, do you want to play the whole game?"

I raised my eyebrows, took the towel from Momoi Itsuki, and wiped off my sweat.It seems that he also wants to have a serious fight with me.Due to the face of the other party and the gender and physical differences between the two parties, such an opportunity is really hard to find.I was still thinking, but Momoi Itsuki suddenly made a sound.

"Vice-Captain Hongcun, Senior Sister Takahashi, isn't there a promotion test after the Diguang Festival next month? Take this opportunity to let the three armies of the two teams come and see?"

The three armies are all in the same school, and whoever loses will not be too embarrassing. You can also control the playing time of Hongcun and me in the name of observing the players and maintaining the game.To eliminate the problem of physical differences as much as possible, Momoi Mayzuki has a pretty good mind.

I immediately made a decision, "I have no problem here, as long as I inform Captain Matsumoto."

"It's okay on my side. I'll tell the captain and coach Sanada that the supervisor should not object."

"Well, it's settled. One more thing, Momoi-san, if it's convenient, I would like to trouble you to ask Akashi-san to come to me, the student council needs him for something."

"Ah, yes! Got it, Takahashi-senpai!"

"Thank you." I waved to them, then walked out while drinking water.

"Hi," Hongcun called me when I walked outside the gymnasium, "do you want to go to the game center later?"

"I have an appointment with Ichikawa Kakun today, and I have to find time to see Akashi."

"Didn't you have extra training on Monday, Wednesday and Friday?"

"Increased. Newcomers from the three armies have come up, and the first army has spent too much time teaching them, but Ichikawa and I have to do our own training." There are indeed times when it is not enough just to fight the lower army.

"Then it's hard to accommodate my time, I just don't have more training today." Hongcun walked out with a displeased face, "Tch, I still want to play with you in the new game."

"Are you really free?" I laughed.

"You are too busy. Hey, Ota reads in the class every day, saying that you haven't gone out with her for a long time. Let me tell you, it's time to let the other things go first. Are you so confident in the regional competition?"

"It's okay." I smiled at him, "Let's go, goodbye."

"Ah, bye." Within two steps, Hongcun called me again, "Hello."

"what?"

Hongcun came over with strides, reached out and pressed my head and twisted it, "Idiot Liang, ahh, you are so stupid, have you become an idiot whose life is only basketball and school? You didn't even wear earphones Ah. Relax, combine work and rest, hey, do you want to die from overwork?"

I lowered my head and laughed, "Hongcun."

"what."

"Thank you."

"Although I know you won't listen to what you say, and I'm afraid of you, I'll just accept your thank you. You're welcome." Hongcun lowered his head, put one hand on my head, and looked into my eyes seriously, He looked at me and said, "Remember, run away when you're tired."

"It's the first time I've heard this kind of persuasion." It's usually called people to work hard.

"It depends on the situation, idiot, of course you should say this."

"It's okay," I said with a smile, "Although I'm much busier than last year, I'm very happy, really."

"Of course I knew it, so I didn't slap it. Cut, no matter what I say to you, I will be held back. I said, you gave me a bit of a loophole. Are you a girl or not?"

"Huh?" I punched him in the unsuspecting stomach, "Like this?"

"Hiss! Exceeding the mark! It hurts, hey!"

"Goodbye." I turned around with a smile, waved to him without looking back, and walked towards the No. [-] gymnasium of the women's basketball team.

"Takahashi!" Asahi Ichikawa yelled as soon as I stepped into the hall, "Come on, let's fight!" He didn't look like he was drilled half an hour ago by the captain.

──She can always be revived quickly and full of blood on the spot like a zombie.

"Ten minutes." I said.

"Ah? No! At least half an hour? I think I'm in good shape today! Don't say you're afraid of losing."

"Ichikawa," the manager Nana Narita walked over, "You have practiced a lot today, and you will be tired if you continue."

I didn't look at Ichikawa Asahi, and just pressed my legs, "10 minutes, one price."

"... Tsk! Got it." Ichikawa Asahi raised his head, "Come on."

"Hey, hey," Harada Mayo of the Second Army yelled, "Others let the half-court go, Takahashi and Ichikawa are coming!"

Ichikawa and I looked at each other with a smile, reached out and slapped each other, and went on stage──

"Sorry," I tied the bow on my chest with one hand, and pushed open the door of the student union room with the other, "I'm late."

Akashi Seijuro stood up from the sofa, "No, I just arrived too." He smiled understandingly.Seeing me looking at the chessboard he was playing, he gestured, "Sister, do you want a game?"

He looks very confident.I threw my schoolbag on the sofa, "I don't know how to play chess."

"Is there any other meaning?"

I sat across from him, "Chess, okay?"

"Of course." Akashi put away the shogi board and got up to get the chess pieces.

But we searched all over the meeting room, but couldn't find chess. As a result, we changed to checkers.While playing chess, my breathing and emotions gradually calmed down after exercising, and Akashi was also advancing on the chessboard step by step, seeing through almost all my dark moves, so I concentrated.

"..." I took off my shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a crystal clear glass bead, thinking about the next step.Even if I build a bridge on my side, Akashi will use it in reverse. As a result, he walks fast, but I have to slowly retract the bridge.If not, I have nowhere to go.I glanced at Akashi, and then made a move that wasn't good for him.When you are not sure in the chess game, at least you can't follow the opponent's idea, otherwise you will lose without a doubt.

Akashi smiled at me, thought for a moment and then dropped his hand.

After 15 minutes, I lost three steps to him.

It's not that my strength is only three steps behind him, but that Akashi doesn't mind big wins and small wins at all, no matter how I go, I will be forced to lose.

"I lost, thank you for your advice." I put my feet down, straightened up and said to him.

"Thank you for your advice."

I stared at the chessboard for a long time, remembering the chess game, then exhaled lightly, put on my shoes, stood up, stretched out my hand to stop Akashi from picking up the chess pieces, and did it myself, while asking: "This time I asked you to come here for About the Teiko Festival.” Let’s get down to business.Akashi chose me at the beginning of the semester, he is now the foreign affairs officer, "As for the guest list, there are some I want you to help verify..."

After talking about things, we walked out of the school gate together. A luxury car was waiting outside the school gate, and the driver in a black suit trotted over.

"Master." He reached out to Akashi.

Akashi, who has always been easy-talking, suddenly showed a little annoyed expression, "Didn't I tell you not to drive the car to the school gate?"

"Sorry, but it's getting dark..."

"It's my fault," I raised my hand, "Sorry."

"No, it's not Senpai's responsibility." Akashi didn't blame the driver anymore, but his expression was very unnatural.

I said goodbye to Akashi as if nothing had happened, then turned my back and curled the corners of my mouth.Akashi has such a childish expression, it's really... like a half-grown child being picked up by his parents to school, but being seen by his classmates in distress.

"Sister Takahashi."

"Yes?" I turned around and looked into Akashi's eyes only to realize that I forgot to hold back my smile, so I simply laughed.

"Senior," Akashi smiled softly, but it gave off a feeling that things were going to get worse, "Goodbye, please be careful on the road." But it didn't hurt his white, chubby cute cheeks, and the fact that he was angry from embarrassment.

This junior, who usually looks like a little adult, is unexpectedly cute, poof.

I turned around and waved my hand back, "Goodbye."

Passing by a beverage vending machine, I pressed a box of paper-wrapped lemon tea.Withdrawing the straw from the package, poking it in, I sucked the drink box flat in one breath, sat on the railing of the bus stop, and waited for the bus.Holding the drink tube in my mouth, I remembered Akashi's appearance in the anime Scissor Boy.At that time, I was really shocked when I saw the picture of Akashi stabbing the scissors into Vulcan as if nothing had happened, and I thought that this person was crazy.But it is true that he has a good brain.

never mind.Anyway, it's their youth drama, it's none of my business, I don't have to meddle in my own business.

I looked up at the already dark night sky, but in the urban area of ​​Tokyo, it is not easy to see the stars.The bangs that grew back slightly obscured my view, and I tossed them aside with a flick of my head.

The national champion suddenly felt that his blood was really hot.

I laughed.

When the bus arrived, I stepped on it and went home drowsily.

During class time during the day, Hongcun will concentrate on listening to the class. The man in glasses in the front seat is trying his best to copy notes as always. Yuka Ota next door is still hiding under the table and playing with his mobile phone. I am also studying by myself.When the homeroom teacher Jian Jian teacher's math class, but no one in the class is listening to the class, even the man with glasses can study by himself.The more no one listens, the more nervous Mr. Qianjian becomes, and the worse he speaks.

This year's female squad leader is a very well-behaved girl with a sense of justice. Although she is not in class, she will control her classmates anyway, and she doesn't go to the point where she is too noisy in class.But there were still whispering voices.

"That, that," Jian Jian's teacher's voice became weaker and weaker among the whispers in the class, "Please, please," he took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Is there any student who will do this on the blackboard?" Is it a question?"

I happened to be a little tired from self-study, and I turned the pen with my left hand, taking all his expressions into my eyes.I turned my face away and sighed secretly.Which headmaster is so careless and let the new teacher who just graduated be the head teacher?Even the Diguang Festival was organized by the man with glasses, and Mr. Qian Jian couldn't help at all.

The class was quiet, and no one responded to Teacher Asami.

"Please, may I ask..." Qian Jian teacher's eyes wandered, and his voice dropped again.

"Takahashi," Daichi Jincheng in the front seat said softly, "You're going."

"You won't?" I put my head in my right hand and replied in a low voice.

"Of course I will solve this problem, but this kind of role is suitable for you. I can just be in charge of fake smiles."

──Is he admitting that he smirked?

"Pfft." Hongcun who was listening on the side laughed.

"Everyone, big, everyone," Mr. Qianjian pulled out the small green handkerchief from his suit pants and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Is it not counted? Do you want me to teach it again?"

"I always feel that even Kinjo feels sorry for him," Ota Yuka also whispered, "It's very pitiful~ well, I don't know how to forget, Takahashi will tell me after school, hehehe~"

"Poor your head," Jincheng Dazhi pushed his glasses, "I think it is difficult for me to do my own thing in this environment, he might as well talk nonsense by himself. Ask questions, and the whole class will be quiet."

"Squad leader," Xiejiao and Hongcun's front-seat students covered their mouths and said, "You are very wicked. Is it a common problem for people with good grades to have a wicked mouth?"

Jincheng Dazhi said coldly: "You can understand it this way, no wonder your brain is not good."

Hongcun was already lying on the table, laughing until his shoulders trembled.

I straightened up and raised my hand, "Teacher Qianjian, I want to do this question."

"Yeah? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,'" Mr. Qian Jian was flustered for a while, and then offered me chalk with both hands, "Takahashi-san, please!"

I went out and looked at the chalk in his hands.Next, I think it’s wrong; if I don’t, it’s wrong.I raised my head, and suddenly met the tearful eyes of Sensei Shangjian.Ah fuck.I twitched the corner of my mouth invisibly, still took the pen, turned around and wrote the answer on the blackboard.

"See teacher." I said.

"Yes!"

"Is it right for me to do this here?"

"Yes, yes."

You have to explain, idiot. "Here, the brackets can be removed first, but why does the book recommend that you make an appointment for this number first? Three-quarters of this, and this."

"Ah, this is because the purpose of this lesson is to teach everyone the skills to remove brackets, so the question type is also biased..." He began to explain the question in a faltering manner.

After finishing this question, I raised my hand without hesitation when it came to the next question, and said, "Students from Hongcun will do this question."

"Huh?" Hongcun jumped up from the table, "I really don't know how to do this!"

"Hong, classmate Hongcun," Teacher Qianjian looked at Hongcun worriedly, "Is there something you don't understand? Please tell the teacher!"

The whole class turned away their faces and held back their laughter.

Asking the question again, Hongcun pointed at Jincheng Dazhi without hesitation, "The male squad leader will meet, Jincheng, you boy, don't pretend."

"..." Jincheng gritted his teeth under the watchful eyes of Teacher Qianjian, patted the table nervously, and stood up abruptly, "Who knows this kind of question! Damn it! It's not like I don't know how to do it!" Then he smirked Turning to another classmate, "The next question is you, if you don't want to be stuffed into the trash can."

──The man with glasses started to become more and more strange.

Both Hongcun and I buried our faces deeply on the table, and when we looked at each other, we found that the other party's face was flushed with suppressed laughter.

"puff."

"puff."

When seeing each other want to laugh, the feeling of wanting to laugh gets worse for some reason.

We shrank under the table, covering our mouths desperately, and the classmates in the class continued to frame each other.

"Hi, Takahashi." Hongcun whispered.

"what?"

"Skip a day of extra training after school today."

I looked at him suspiciously.

Hongcun turned his face away a little, but then turned back, looking at me fixedly, "Let's go play, I invite you."

I stared at him, stunned for a moment, Hongcun was still looking at me, stubbornly did not move my eyes away.His expression was the same as usual, slightly pouted with a little displeasure, and a little cold and cool, even when he was complaining, he always looked like this.

He has grown taller than last year, a full head taller than me.His brows and eyes have also grown wider. Hongcun's facial features are actually a bit delicate, but more of them are handsome boys in sports.

"Persistence is the most important thing in training," I said after a long time, "only this once."

Hongcun stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly on my forehead, "Got it, idiot." He laughed.
