[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

The author has something to say: double update today~~

After the morning training, I sat on the sofa in the department room and looked through the list of the three armed forces.I made an appointment to play a practice match with the three armies of the men's basketball team as a promotion match. However, there are more than 30 people in the three armies, and it is impossible to participate in all of them. We can only pick those with potential.I recalled their daily performance, ticked off the starters and bench members on the list, and handed it over to the captain.

Kaori Matsumoto, who was sitting opposite, took it and looked at it seriously.Like me, she memorized all one hundred and three members of the ministry.She nodded in approval, and asked me to go to the coach of the three services, and it will be fine when the coach nods.She put down the list and talked about another thing: "Takahashi, the Kanto competition is about to start, I want to discuss with you, who do you think can start in the second grade? The next schedule will be closer, we have to allocate well The order of appearance, to preserve the stamina of the players."

"The captain means the next game, or the one with the strongest lineup?"

"Both."

"In the end, I suggest going to Ikeda Haru-senpai, Hirokawa Rei-senpai, the captain, and second-year Minamoto Koharu and Ichikawa Asahi. In the second half, I will replace Minamoto Koharu, and Takai Satomi will replace Hirokawa-senpai. In terms of the strongest lineup, I don't think there's a second grade available right now other than me."

"reason."

"The next lineup is to counter the opponent's height. Their average height is extremely high, and the starting lineup does not lose. In terms of height, it is also to counter the opponent's defense. It is better to start with an attack-oriented start. But in the second half I guess The opponent has been worn out to the point of exhaustion, and we have nowhere to go, if we continue, the outcome will be uncertain.” I bent down a little, and made gestures on the tea table, “I will take over as the commander, and Gao Jing will help defend and strengthen the outside line , change the focus from the frontcourt to the backcourt, change the style of play, catch them by surprise, make them lose their patience in the second half of the time-crunching fight, even if I can't beat them, I will stalk them to death."

Kaori Matsumoto folded her arms, "Indeed, our starters will have an average height of over [-], so we won't lose too much to the opponent. Continue."

"In terms of the strongest lineup, I don't need to say more about the strength of the seniors. This year we still have to focus on the third-year students. Ichikawa Asahi is strong enough, but her position overlaps with the captain's. Ichikawa can't play other positions, and she I can’t match your strategic experience, you are the captain, and you will lose your morale if you don’t play, so Ichikawa can only be your substitute.”

"We've been honing the starting lineup for the third grade for a long time. I understand the general lineup, but you said just now that you're also in the starting lineup." Kaori Matsumoto looked at me, "You mean you're in charge of the starting lineup?"

"Yes. The captain is a small forward, and serving as a commander will distract your concentration and reduce your scoring ability. As long as you concentrate on scoring in the frontcourt, you will be our pillar."

"Confidence? I know you have experience in national competitions before, but you haven't played in a national league for a year, right?"

"It's not about a [-] percent sure win," I smiled, "but the goal is the national championship, that's right."

"Tell me [-] percent. That's fine, I will continue to hand over the command to you on the starting stage. Sakura," Matsumoto Kaori folded her arms and squinted her eyes, "The most important reason why I chose you, Captain Heping Mei, is to be calm .Anything can happen in the national competition, I warn you in advance, don't get hot, otherwise you will sit back on the bench."

"Yes."

"What's more," she turned her head to look out the window, "your words will definitely not be crushed."

I looked at her silently.Was she referring to someone who supervised Miyoshi?Because of our recent victories, the supervisor did not step on the field again, but none of us have forgotten that the person who gave the wonderful strategy and training methods one after another is his three good friends.Kaori Matsumoto gave us training instructions after receiving instructions from the supervisor and the coaches, after checking again and again that there would be no excessive strain, and I was in charge of the on-field command.Miyoshi's strategy is often brilliant, but I wouldn't just copy it like that -- like something that's not so cool and can hurt your opponent or your own team.

But as long as we win, the supervisor Miyoshi will not say anything, and we can do whatever we want, and we have maintained a strange balance since this semester.

I raised the corner of my mouth and said, "If we want to get rid of him, we must win; if we win, he will continue to stay in Diguang as a famous supervisor." Come out with a plan to temporarily check and balance Miyoshi.

"It's ironic," Kaori Matsumoto straightened her back. "It's your style as always. But, we must continue to win. I don't want others to be treated like that again."

"No," I also straightened up, "following the rules of the game, we will only enter a dead end. Captain Matsumoto, please leave it to me." I want to kick the supervisor away directly.

"No, you don't understand." Kaori Matsumoto shook her head, "Don't confront him, Sakura, that's fine."

"Then what will the school girl do after we leave? Basketball is basketball. If he tramples on us like this, I don't think we have to back down. Even if it's for his job, what he has done is too much. This is not an adult's world." It can be explained, but he is despicable.” I have heard of the incident where he trained the seniors to be disabled, and he made the seniors kneel on the track and field, and the seniors of the first army were wounded. I remember all the scenes, "Sister Kaori, don't let him influence your judgment."

"..." Kaori Matsumoto pursed her lips tightly, and after a long time, she loosened her tense back and sighed, "I can't compete with you."

"It's not me, what you can't argue with is the truth."

"I envy you sometimes, you always believe in what you believe."

I laughed and shook my head, "I'm just too self-centered and self-righteous." Also, thanks to Hongcun, "But everyone has their own opinions. I protect myself and don't hurt others. Then, I feel happy That's enough, I think so." I stood up, walked to Kaori Matsumoto and pressed her shoulder hard, "Sister Ikeda is right, you are too strict." Always put all the responsibilities Press yourself.

"But how do you know if you've hurt someone else?" she asked.

I can't answer.After a while, I patted her on the head, "So we still have to study, but let's do our best." She and the senior who was dismissed and dropped out of school, and I have never met, were competing for vice before I entered Diguang. Captain, probably, it will be the relationship between me and Ichikawa Asahi.

Ah fuck, that damn supervisor.

When the class bell rang, Kaori Matsumoto stood up, folded her arms, and asked, "Sakura, do you like playing basketball?"

"Yes."

"Then take a good look at it," Matsumoto Kaori laughed, with pride and confidence on her face, and regained her spirits, "Look at our 21 consecutive years of Teiko Basketball."

"Yes."

"What is the goal?"

"No. [-] in the country." I replied with a smile.Being brainwashed day and night, it doesn't matter whether you want to get the first place or not.

"I can not hear!"

I let out a little haha, and then said loudly: "No. [-] in the country!"

Bell──

Kaori Matsumoto and I looked at each other, and we ran back to the school building while the bell was ringing.As soon as I got to the second floor, I ran desperately to the classroom, and pushed open the back door of the classroom just after the bell rang.Ahhh, Ms. Matsumoto-senpai on the third floor is doomed.Seeing that the teacher was wiping sweat and looking at me, he asked me to return to my seat quickly.Hongcun, who had already arrived at the side, covered his mouth and laughed.

"Why is it so late today?" Hongcun asked.

I nodded to Ota Yuka who was seated next to me, took out my homework, and loosened my tie, "I'm talking about our practice game after school today."

"Ah, this." Hongcun leaned back on the chair back, "This year's rookies are all good, but for the three armies, that's all."

Speaking of this, I also paid attention to the "Generation of Miracles" of the men's basketball team, and finally found the protagonist Heizi.Kuroko seems to have not yet developed his unique basketball, and is struggling at the bottom of the three armed forces. For the others, Kise is still wandering in the football club, rugby club, etc., and the other four are excellent, but they have not yet Get on the bench.The only thing that is certain is that their talents are really high, and Hongcun is also paying great attention to the four people Akashi, Aomine, Midorima and Murasakihara, and their development remains to be seen.

However, this has nothing to do with the women's basketball team. I'm just worried about Hongcun.

At noon, I went to the student council room to talk with Seijuro Akashi, whom I had made an appointment with. Seeing that there was some time left, I played checkers with him and the president who came over.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" President He Benfeng was crying with his head in his hands, "We lost! Takahashi and Akashi, don't play chess with a serious face, it's so bad! I'll give you Go! This comparison handsome!"

"I'm fine. Although I didn't say there's anything I'm not good at, but what I'm best at is actually shogi." Akashi smiled and straightened up, looking away from the glass beads, and said.

──"Didn't say there's anything you're not good at"?Did I hear you right?

I twitched the corners of my mouth and said, "Smack you, son of a bitch. No, I can play chess at most."

He Benfeng stood up, clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Great! Master Takahashi finally has a flaw!"

"……"ha?I kicked off my shoes and sat cross-legged on the sofa, "Senior, don't call me an adult again."

"Does Takahashi-senpai want to learn?" Akashi asked, as if he really planned to teach me.

I glanced at him, "What's the matter with you?" It's rare for him to be enthusiastic.

Akashi said implicitly: "During the Teiko Festival, I competed with people from other chess clubs, or my senior sister can join in and try it out. I am very much looking forward to it. Of course, I still don't think I will lose."

──Are you kicking the pavilion?

"Akashi, you really deserve a beating."

"Ah, no," Akashi waved his hand, "I have no other intentions, please don't misunderstand, senior sister, really."

"That's why I deserve a beating." I stood up, put on my shoes, and said, "Let's go. Thank you for your advice, goodbye."

When school was over, the three-army joint practice match between the men's and women's basketball teams finally began──

"...This is the starting lineup. This is also a promotion test. You have to try your best to show your individual strength, but at the same time don't forget to work as a team." I stood in front of the girls and said, "Also, to win. Although it is just practice The game, but remember the goal of the game is to win, understand?"

"Yes!"

"However, Vice Captain Takahashi," said one of the girls, "the opponent is a boy..."

I put my hands on my hips and looked into her eyes, "Although most of the players on the basketball team are taller and have better physiques, they still encounter opponents with better physiques than me. I didn't say to ignore the opponent's advantages, but If you can’t even say that you want to win, I think it’s because you lack the awareness to become the main force of the Diguang women’s basketball team. Also, do you dare to say such words in front of the team before the game?” Shaking the morale of the army will be cut off [-] times.

"I, I... Vice Captain..." She was speechless.

"Do you still want to go?"

"Yes……"

I smiled, "Come on, say it again." Then I took a deep breath and said loudly, "I can't hear you!"

"Ah, yes!" The girl stood at attention reflexively.

"Very good!" I looked at the opposite field, and Hongcun, who was lecturing, also looked over. We looked at each other, and I turned around, and continued: "As I said before, first use the counterpoint defense to test the opponent's strength. Then decide the pace of the game.”

"Yes!"

I stretched out my hand, bent down, and shouted, "Di Guang!"

The starting players walked over to form a circle, and put their hands on the back of mine, "Diguang!" Everyone pressed their hands down, then raised them up and spread them out.

The manager Nana Narita handed me a bottle of water and said in a low voice, "I'm really afraid that you will scold and cry people. Please understand that she is a first-year student, Mr. Takahashi, your words will have a great impact on them. Pay attention to yourself."

"She won't." During private training, I often saw that girl in the Tri-Service Gymnasium. She didn't escape so easily.

"Forget it, I'm afraid of you, let's go play." Nana Narita patted me on the back, "It's rare that you and classmate Hongcun can match up, let's go, girl. I was with that dead bangs of the men's basketball team last month. It’s strange to break up, even if he is in the first army and not in the third army, remember to let the women’s basketball team blow them up, otherwise, he will swallow a thousand needles.”

──Did Nana Narita say something strange again?

The two sides lined up, and then Hongcun and I both retreated to the sidelines, listened to the whistle, watched the basketball being thrown high in the midfield, and the game began.I stood on the sidelines with my hips akimbo, watching with cold eyes that the women's basketball team was beaten badly by the men's basketball team from the very beginning. Take two points off.The other members of the women's basketball team were shouting for cheers, but I didn't say anything, just quietly watching the trend on the court.Until the 1th minute, the men's basketball team scored a three-pointer, and the score between the two sides was drawn to 4-[-]. I raised my hand and called the first timeout.

"Have you calmed down?" I stood in front of the bench and looked down at the players who were wiping sweat and drinking water.

"..." Morale was so low that people couldn't bear to look directly at it.

I exhaled lightly and said loudly, "What is the goal?"

"National Champion!" Everyone, including the cheering team members, shouted together.

"Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!"

"I can not hear!"

"Diguang!!"

"Very good!" I bent down, put my hands on my slightly bent knees when I was standing apart, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Later on the fast break, first get back the points and momentum. Kamijou pays attention to rebounding, Mori covers. Nagatomo and Wakayama fight for three points from the outside. Don’t worry about the problem of hitting or missing. Let them go. If they don’t succeed, there will be inside shots. Kikuchi plays guerrilla by himself. Front peak, entangle the defender, the purpose is to send the ball inside." I straightened up, stretched out a finger and said: "Remember, basketball is a sport where you lose if you don't shoot."

"Yes! Vice Captain Takahashi!"

I raised my chin, "Go and blow up those stupid cows."

"Yes!"

"Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!!!" The girl's voice shook people's eardrums with pain.

The whistle sounded to start the game again, and I waved my hand and said: "Go up!" "

"Yes!"

When playing again, the women's basketball team gradually found its own rhythm, but at any rate, it was not pulled away from the score.I walked to the sidelines, clapped my hands, and said loudly: "Very good! Give it to me!"

When the women's basketball team finally scored two rebounds, I gave the manager Nana Narita a wink, and she turned around knowingly to give instructions, and the other off-court players immediately called out to Teiko, one click, one click, orderly, and the men's basketball team The voice was suppressed.As long as you stabilize the situation, you can slowly catch up. The three armies of the men's basketball team may not be so powerful, and...

──I find them super uncomfortable sparring with girls.

I turned my face away in silence, then turned my head back blankly, and continued to give instructions on the sidelines.After the first round, I took a 2-minute break. In order to allow the main players to conserve their energy and to allow as many players as possible to have a chance to play, I replaced them with substitute players.In the second game, the inside line was watched by the men's basketball team, and even the three-pointer I just replaced was also watched to death, forcing us to face off in the middle.I looked at Hongcun, who was talking to the captain of the men's basketball team, without taking his eyes off the court.

Considering that I had already called a timeout, in order not to damage morale and to test the ability of the substitutes, I did not call a timeout except to cheer up, and let the situation develop.After halftime, the women's basketball team trailed by seven points.

After halftime, Hongcun and I entered the field amidst cheers, also adopting a man-to-man formation.

False public benefit, this game is a rare comprehensive confrontation between him and me.

"I want to win." I looked at Hongcun who was defending me.It just so happened that he defended me, and I also defended him.

His mouth was pouted, and he looked in a trance and very unhappy, and said without shame: "Ah? Just right, this will make me happy." His left hand waved towards me with the palm upward.

I curl my lips.Hongcun also deserves a beating, or is it that sports clubs are really easier to get excited about?I just warmed up, and my body is now warmed up.
