[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

I don’t know what the platinum supervisor of the men’s basketball team and the supervisor of the women’s basketball team Miyoshi Lairen said. Our players, Miyoshi Lairen and the coaching staff have returned to a strange balance. They still give us training and strategies, but in fact it is me Watching with Matsumoto Kaori, the first army will help stay for additional training. During the training period, the three armies will train separately first, and then they will join together for additional training at night.One hundred and three girls, it is really not easy to manage.

But everyone is very obedient, and the women's basketball team is the most disciplined boarding club in the school.

After taking a shower, I picked up a note with my name on it, smiled, then picked up the apple next to the note, took a bite, and wiped my hair with a large towel in the other hand.After wiping my hair, I threw the apple core into the trash can with precision. After washing my hands, I walked out of the locker room with a book in my hand. I sat cross-legged in the auditorium on the side of the track and field, and waved hello to the track and field students who left the team. Just flip through the books and study by yourself.In the evening of summer, it is actually quite comfortable to be outside.There is still an hour of free time before dinner, so I just take a break and read a book for a while.

When it got dark enough that I could no longer read clearly, my cell phone rang.

"Takahashi!" Satomi Takai's bluffing voice came from the mobile phone, "Dinner is ready, come to the dining hall quickly! Ahh, Mayo Harada! I hate it, don't grab my dumplings! Captain, hurry up and grab them, Ikeda-senpai ate your beef! I beg you not to talk about being a captain while grabbing food! You will starve to death on the street."

──Every time I know today's menu before going to the dining hall.

"Thank you, come here now." I put the phone in my trouser pocket, held the book in my right hand, stretched my hands up, stood up, and then jumped over the railing and walked to the dining hall.

"Good evening." Walking near the dining hall, I greeted Hongcunxiu who was coming.

"... Oh." Hongcun's face turned to the outside, not looking at me.

I glanced at him, "Are you going to the dining hall?"

"……what."

He's been like this since he said that day that he's going to hang out together on Sunday.I also turned away.If I had known it, I would have acted stupid. Hongcun hasn't looked at my face in the past few days.I threw away the book in my hand and turned back to look at him, just in time to see his face swished and turned outward, with his mouth still pouted, looking fierce and unhappy like a mafia boss.I stretched out a finger and poked his waist.

"Hey!" Hongcun bounced up and dodged quickly, his muscles tensed to a degree visible to the naked eye, "What are you?"

"Good evening." I said looking at him.

"……good evening."

We continued to walk towards the dining hall, and Hongcun walked at the end of the aisle, trying his best to stay away from me.I rolled my eyes.

"Gaoqiao, good evening." Liu Hai, a member of the first team of the men's basketball team in the same grade and a good friend of Hongcun, greeted me.

"Good evening. The next game is the national competition. I wish you victory."

"Thank you. Is Takahashi the starter? I also wish you well."

My classmate Chang Liuhai and I were chatting casually, and Hongcun followed us with his face turned all the time.Go to the corner and meet Ikawa Asahi.She yelled that I would leave without waiting for her.I turn my face away.Occasionally, I want to be lazy.Speaking of which, I have already trained more, but I just refused to train again with Ichikawa after the extra training and training again, which is not considered lazy.

"Takahashi!" Ichikawa Asahi put his arm on my shoulder unhappily, "You have to give me at least 10 minutes at night! It's very partial, you often go to the Second and Third Armies, but you just ignore me."

"Well." I decided not to reason with her.Half of my time is already hers every day.

Ichikawa kept yelling, and the loose bun on the back of her head kept shaking, and I stretched out my hand angrily to help her tidy it up.Classmate Chang Liuhai laughed at the side, and talked about today's dinner by the way. I casually reported the names of a few dishes that will appear tonight, and Classmate Chang Liuhai was amazed.On the way, the classmates who met at the same level all joined the topic together.I smiled and listened, but didn't speak.

Hongcun still followed behind us with his face scrunched up.

When they reached the dining hall, the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team separated, and each went to the table that had been arranged.The canteen was very lively, and other training clubs were also there, and the literature and art clubs that overslept in the morning also popped up.

──Although I don't understand why the book club has to hold a training camp.

Daichi Jinshiro, the man with glasses at the reading club, smirked at me when he saw the book in my hand, then pushed his glasses, gritted his teeth and went back to the reading club table.

──The man with glasses has really good teeth.

"Hello, senior." I greeted the seniors and sat down at the table of the First Army, nodding to the students of the same grade.For the time being, no freshman in our team has been promoted to the first team, unlike the men's basketball team.

Satomi Takai entangled, "Takahashi, do you want to eat sweet potatoes? There are roasted sweet potatoes today."

Senior sister Hirokawa Rei poked Takai Satomi with chopsticks, "Don't eat it, it will make your stomach bloated."

"..." Takai Satomi rolled his eyes away, and the word "want to eat" was written all over his face.

Captain Kaori Matsumoto crossed his arms and said, "It's not advisable to eat this kind of food while exercising. You give me the self-consciousness of an athlete, idiot."

I looked at the captain in astonishment.

──Is the captain going to call Takai Satomi an idiot?

Ichikawa, Takai, and Minamoto Koharu, who are also at the same level, went out to have dinner together. We walked, but because of our different tastes, we separated in the middle.After serving the food, when I turned around to serve the soup with a full plate in my hand, the spoon was snatched away.

"...you don't know how to ask for help, you idiot." It was Hongcun.

"Thank you." Ahhh, it popped up again.I look at him.

"..." Hongcun put the soup bowl on my tray and took the plate away.

I rolled my eyes and followed him.

"Hey."

"What?" I looked at him.

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"what?"

"..."

"..." Brother, I can't understand ventriloquist.I can't answer the phone.

"Tomorrow, wait at the entrance of the commercial street at five o'clock in the afternoon. I said don't forget, I will kill you." He said in a slightly rough voice, and for some reason, his expression was still a bit vicious.

I raised the corner of my mouth, "Yeah."

"Cut." Hongcun clicked his tongue softly, and after helping me put the plate in place, he turned around and left quickly.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and we will have a sleepover in the afternoon. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief from the high-intensity training and competition, and they all agreed to go play.Of course, some people said that they would die on the bed in the dormitory, and vowed not to go out during the holiday.In the evening, when I was studying by myself, my classmates also came to ask me to go out with me.

"Takahashi," Satomi Takai knelt by my feet and bit my sleeve, "I beg you not to study any more, your IQ will explode if you continue like this."

──Why do you believe in the theory that grades equal IQ?

To be honest, there are so many places where I am stupid.

"Let's go together, let's go together, you've been so busy recently that you seldom go out with us."

I closed the book, "I have something to do tomorrow."

Yuki Mineike, a sophomore, held a box of chocolate bars and winked, "Are you going with Hongcun?"

──Yeah.

"Wow!" The girls suddenly overwhelmed me, "Who made the appointment first? It was Hongcun? Have you guys kissed before? Is Hongcun kissing good? What, you are not dating yet? Then Tianhongcun must be I want to confess to you~ In fact, he is quite handsome~~~ Also, he loves you so much!"

Using my best breakthrough, I escaped from the encirclement of girls at the same level, broke into the room of the third-year seniors, and calmly closed and locked the door with my backhand.

──Break into Captain Matsumoto's room if you have the guts.

"...Sakura?" Captain Matsumoto Kaori, who was rarely confused, sat up from the bed, holding the rolled quilt and looking at me suspiciously.

──You went to bed too early.

"His Highness Takahashi?" Senior Ikeda Haru, who was reading manga with senior sister Rei Hirokawa, also asked.

──What is "Your Highness"?

I ignored the auditory hallucinations, walked to the corner very calmly, squatted down, and said expressionlessly, "Please leave me alone."

After training the next morning, I took a break before going to shower.Because it was a training camp, I didn't bring many clothes that could be taken on the street. I looked at the clothes in the bag and felt a little embarrassed.Well, although the clothes I have at home are not suitable for this time.I looked at my wallet, put my mind to rest, and went shopping.Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I will return it to you ten times in the future, please let me spend it carelessly now.

When the appointed time came, I tidied up my hair, put on a long dress and waited at the intersection.

I'm not insane.

Picking up the phone to check the time, I realized that I was too early.I stood leaning against the railing on the side of the road, watching the people coming and going, and suddenly remembered the running competition with Hongcun on the first day of God's light, and the corners of my mouth slightly raised.Because we have morning training every day this semester, we haven't met on that wall for a while.

The time passed minute by minute, and 15 minutes after the appointed time, Hongcun still did not appear.

I frowned and called, but no one answered.Hongcun is not someone who will be late for no reason.When No. 30 minutes passed, I called again, but no one answered.I sat on the railing and rubbed my tired feet.An hour later, I called a third number, but no one answered.

Rainbow Village?I sent an email, no response.

At the third hour, Hongcun called.

"Did something happen to you?" He wouldn't miss an appointment without a reason.

"...Sorry, I can't come tonight."

I paused, "Hongcun?" His voice was a bit strange.

He was silent for a long time, and I didn't hang up the line. It was not until a long time later that his deep voice sounded: "My father is in the hospital." He smiled wryly, "Still waiting for the test results, I have to ask for leave from the team tomorrow Yes. The doctor hasn't said anything in detail, but it seems to be a big deal."

My mouth opened, but I didn't know what to say.The words of consolation are too vague.

"Stupid—dammit," Hongcun's voice was very gentle at this time, I always felt, "At this time, there is no need to say anything."

"……Um."

"Feel sorry."

"No." I said, "No need to apologize."

After hanging up the phone, I jumped off the railing, bought a box of green tea, chewed on a straw, and went back to the school dormitory for self-study.

Hongcun came back to school the next day, but we didn't have a chance to talk about it in detail, because the first team of the women's basketball team was going to practice in the swimming pool today, and we only exchanged nods when we met him on the road.The next day, the women's basketball team and the men's basketball team were once again in the close preparations for the national competition, and neither of them was in the mood to talk about other things.

"Diguang!" Before the opening of the first game of the national competition, the team members formed a circle as usual, clasped hands and shouted slogans.

"Who is the winner?" Captain Matsumoto Kaori asked loudly.

"Diguang!" The team members including me responded loudly.

"What is the goal?"

"No. [-] in the country!"

"Are we?" I interjected.

"Diguang!" shouted the people including the captain.

"Play!" the captain said.

"Yes!"

I pulled my wristband and walked to the field.The whistle sounded, and the ball kicked off at halftime.When it comes to the national competition, the opponent school will not be an underdog, but we have never heard that this school is very strong, so the captain and I decided to make a fast break at the beginning and grab a good start.After the senior sister in charge of the jump ball, Hirokawa Rei, snatched the ball, I instructed her to make a long pass to the captain in the right front field, and at the same time ran to mark people to prevent being intercepted.After the captain received the ball, he turned around and shot. A perfect three-pointer scored the first goal of the Teiko National Competition.

I raised my hand, clenched my fist and swung my forearm violently.

Kaori Matsumoto called out, "Who is the winner?"

The other four of us looked at each other, and shouted together with the substitutes on the bench: "Di Guang!"

The first half was almost unbelievably one-sided, with Diguang leading the opponent by 32 points.I frowned and looked at my opponents. They were discussing countermeasures around the coach.If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. The captain and I looked at each other, and then brought the opponent's score record to the manager of the first army, and stood aside to avoid the team members looking at it.There is a 10-minute intermission. During this period, players can go to the lounge or outside at will, without having to stay on the field.

"Sakura?" The captain walked over with arms folded.

"I was negligent." I bowed my head to her.

"what's the situation?"

"Their whistle-off records in every game are abnormal." I said in a cold voice, "Because I underestimate the enemy, I only watched their matches after the Kanto top [-], and thought that there were so many whistle-offs because of the fierce competition. But after reading all their playing records this year," I raised the corners of my mouth, "I realized that this is their normal state." They are people who play dirty basketball.

"Didn't it show up yet? It's not too late," Kaori Matsumoto crossed her arms, "Don't blame yourself. They probably shot in the second half, right?"

"Captain," I put away the documents in my hand, "I think you should have fun playing the game, but it doesn't mean you have to lose."

"Now?"

"I still think so, but add one more." I laughed.For teammates.

"Don't give them a chance to hurt our people," Kaori Matsumoto said, "Come on, let's..."

We discussed the strategy for the second half.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the second half began. The opponent school really used some unscrupulous methods to force us to foul and whistle.According to the strategy I talked about before, I commanded the players to keep a distance from them on the field, zone defense, and did not give the opponent a chance to stick up. Focusing on the captain's three-point long-range shot, I continued to open the score.

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a loud noise in the front field.

"team leader!"

"Beep──" The referee blew to stop urgently.

"Hey, you stinky bitch!" During the dispute between the players on both sides, the senior Ikeda Haru rushed forward to grab the opponent player who intentionally injured the captain.

I was half-kneeling beside the captain to watch the emergency personnel carry the captain onto the stretcher. Hearing the commotion, I stood up and shouted, "Stop!"

"..." Ikeda Haru pursed her lips and froze for a while before letting go.

I stepped forward to separate Ikeda Haru, "I said stop." I looked at the girl who became angry and knocked the captain who was the scorer to the ground, and said, "Changyong No. [-] Middle School? Die."

"Hey," the referee came over, "don't be provocative!"

I looked at him, "No whistle?"

"This is my decision. Now, immediately! Return to your respective positions and wait for the referee's result!"

"Wait." I pulled Ikeda Haru back.

"Boom!" Li Guangchuan kicked onto the bench, and the other team members were also emotionally unstable.

I don't know what happened to the captain, he was knocked to the ground with an elbow during a jump shot, and he also passed out just now.I lowered my eyes, then raised them again, stood up from the bench, stood in front of Zhengxuan and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" I said coldly, "I said, die at Changyong No. [-] Middle School , means they are going to die." I looked at the team members, "I know the style of the chair referee, the woman was impulsive when she made the shot just now, and she didn't avoid the referee's sight at all. People, of course it is a suspension, and Diguang will qualify automatically." The coach has also gone to the referee's stand to negotiate.

"...Fuck it!" Ikeda Haru obviously held his breath.

"You can do it, but you have to be mentally prepared to be suspended and all of us to waste our efforts in vain." I put my hips on my hips, "Go, why don't you show off your feelings to me? Go! Then Go tell the captain yourself that we are suspended! If you can’t figure it out, sit back on the bench for me!”

"Hey! Takahashi Sakura!" Ikeda Haru, who has the best relationship with Matsumoto Kaori, rushed up and pulled my collar, "Fuck you! Do you know how much Kaori loves you!"

Unpleasant emotions must be vented, otherwise it will affect the subsequent games.

I pushed back straight up: "Fuck you, who can't swear!" I didn't pull her away, and I raised my hand to stop the other people who came up to persuade them to fight, and yelled back at the front of Ikeda Haru, "Forget it if you can!" How did you guys come here for the past three years, just go fight! You usually say you want to be number one in the country, so it’s just for fun? Damn! I’m telling you, I’m serious!” I stared at her and called Said: "Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!!" The Zhengxuan said.

"I can not hear!"

"Diguang!!!"

I stared closely at Ikeda Haru who was biting her lip and saying nothing, "I can't hear you!!" What is needed now is that I am more determined than her.

"Diguang!" She finally opened her mouth with everyone, and gradually loosened my collar between her fingers.

I didn't straighten my collar, and with my hips crossed, I turned my head to look at everyone, raised my chin and said loudly, "What is the goal?"

"No. [-] in the country!" together with the reserve players in the auditorium also said.

"Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!"

"Where is Changyong No. [-] Middle School?" They couldn't continue, so I said coldly, "Go to hell!"

"Die!!!!"

Ikeda Haru lay on the chair with red eyes, and I reached out to help her up, "Who is the winner?"

She responded loudly: "Diguang!!!!!!"

I stretched out my hand, overlapped with them in a circle, and pressed down hard, "Diguang!!!!!!!" Then I raised my hand and spread it high.

Teiguang successfully advanced to the next round due to the suspension of the opponent's school. Captain Kaori Matsumoto woke up and was fine and could be discharged from the hospital immediately.

In the second game, I planned to let her continue to play, but Kaori Matsumoto refused.

"Captain," I squatted in front of the bench, holding her hand, "You are fine, our team needs you."

"No, I'm not in the best shape." Kaori Matsumoto shook her head, listless.

I know.Letting her play is more for her own sake. I think Kaori Matsumoto will be destroyed if she is not allowed to play at this time.For this girl who treats herself harshly, the captain who can't play is a shame.

"Senior Kaori," I said ignoring the coach at the side, "basketball is not just basketball, we, you and the seniors, believe in this to stand up to this day against the scum, so please play. "

Other team members also joined in persuasion.

"I believe," she shook my hand backhandedly, with a rare smile, "that's why I don't go. Because, what I want is the team's victory, the victory with you, not me alone. For me , what I want is that you can show your strength and make this summer without regrets. This is my wish."

I looked at her for a while, but Kaori Matsumoto still didn't want to change her mind.

"Then I understand." I stood up, "Ichikawa Asahi entered. Then," I said loudly, "Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!"
