[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"..." The basketball was passed to me at an impossible time.I froze for a moment, then reacted immediately, turned around and made a jump shot, scoring two points.

The people on the sidelines immediately burst into cheers.

"Senior Takahashi," Qingfeng also showed his white teeth with a smile, and raised his thumb to me, "You have it!"

I tilted my head, wiped the sweat that had slid down my chin with my sleeve, and turned to look at Heizi who was passing the ball.It's no big deal, if our team also has such a passer who is out of the opponent's sight, it will be almost invincible.After playing for a while, I ended up standing aside watching Heizi and Qingfeng on the field.Although Heizi has already mastered the skill of inducing sight, he still needs to adapt to the rhythm of the court. The street basketball court proposed by Hongcun has a gentle style, which is suitable for it.

I tried my best to watch Heizi, but it was still easy to lose him, and the more I wanted to follow him, the easier it was to get rid of him. It wasn't until he used his skills for too long that the sight induction began to fail, and I couldn't see him clearly. Actions.

bad habit.

I finally understood how Heizi's bad habits that he couldn't get rid of when he was playing basketball normally came about.In order to prevent others from noticing his existence, Heizi will pass the ball with the shortest touch time, mostly just a hook, a point, and a push. Only in this way, his touch of basketball is different from that of us ordinary people. There is no way to hold the ball with the sense of a normal person.

But gaze induction is the protagonist's skill. Moreover, with Heizi's basic physical fitness and talent, he would never be able to make it to the Teiko men's basketball team in his lifetime if he used a normal style of play, so let him give up gaze induction and switch back to hand gestures. Habits are also impractical.

It's a pity, whether it's three-dimensional or two-dimensional, they all have talent.

I frowned.

"Senior Takahashi." They came back from the game.

I smiled and handed over the towel.

I'll think again.

──But Aomine, have you rolled your eyes a little more?Isn't it you who taught Heizi how to play basketball for the longest time?

"Ah~ I'm hungry!" Aomine Dahui yelled, with a white label on his forehead, "Shall we go to lunch? Ah Zhe, you should eat more this time, after all, it's the senior sister's treat, no If you eat more, I will be too sorry for the kindness of senior sister."

"Yes," Heizi nodded obediently and innocently, "I will try my best to eat more." He turned around and bowed to me, "Thank you, sister Takahashi."

"..." When did I say I would invite you to dinner?

──The label of being taken advantage of is also stuck on my forehead.

In the afternoon, I said goodbye to them and went home to study by myself.The term exam is approaching, and the practice time on weekdays is too long, even on weekends, I can't help but squander it.Go home, go to the study, and then take out the science books you are least good at and review them.I can be regarded as a good at carrying things, so I can still handle it.It wasn't like that when I was in high school.

I put down my pen and lowered my eyes.My father and mother are already discussing my high school destination, intending to send me to a foreign country.School starts in September over there. If I have to leave, I will be dissatisfied with my third grade.I picked up the pen again, put my palm flat, bent my middle finger and thumb to hold the pen, took the middle finger as the axis, pushed hard with my thumb, turned the pen, picked up the apple I bought on the road, and took a bite.

When I returned to school on Monday, I went back to the department room after finishing the morning training.The exams for the third semester are approaching, and club activities will be suspended after this week. The training intensity will be relatively low, and I will be able to free up my hands to arrange practice matches.In the past, in order to separate the contact opportunities between the school girl and the supervisor, the two armies rarely had the opportunity to participate in official competitions.I want them to gain combat experience.Currently, only the sophomores are able to play in the field. I am optimistic about a few of the first graders, but they are still ineffective.Before the freshmen enter the school, I want to choose the vice captain first.

I held my head and flipped through the documents on the table.Diguang has a great reputation, and just after the manager let out the rumor that he wanted to play a practice match, many invitations came.You can't respond to all of them, otherwise there may be a situation of unequal strength, so that the effect of training cannot be achieved, or the strength of Diguang will be exposed.Which one to choose and how to arrange the time are the things that Nana Narita, who has become the team leader of the first army, and I have to consider recently.

"Student Takahashi." The platinum supervisor of the men's basketball team knocked on the door.

"Hi, good morning, Supervisor Platinum." I stood up.Supervisor Platinum seldom goes to the men's basketball team, so I feel very surprised to appear here.

"Thinking about the practice match?"

"Yes." I came out from behind the table and asked him to sit down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Managing a large society is more work than imagined."

"Hehe, so I am paid."

──Too frank.

Supervisor Platinum said: "I actually don't mind losing. There is no team that can grow without experiencing failure, but don't forget that losing is for winning. I probably understand your idea of ​​letting the three armies separate normal training and then mix extra training. You can Try to join the first army at the right time in the next two-army practice match to ensure victory. This will neither violate your philosophy, but also build the prestige of the first army and the Teiko women's basketball team. Prestige is pressure, and it is also the self-confidence that leaders must carry, especially In your case."

"I understand, thank you." Following his gesture, I also sat down opposite.

"I came to see you today because of one thing, which is about you personally. But this is just a suggestion, and it is up to you to decide what to do." Supervisor Platinum smiled gently, "The school will not talk about it, there is no need to go through it. The school. The other party found me directly and hoped that I would hand over this document to you." He put a document on the coffee table, turned around, and pushed it to me. "It's just a suggestion. I think you can put the other documents first. extracurricular activities. I heard that you want to run for the president of the student union? I know you are a very good student, but if you want to make further progress in basketball, it would be better to concentrate first.”

I picked up the file and looked at it, stunned for a moment.

"I believe you will be able to handle it, and I just want to give you another option." Platinum Supervisor looked at me with a smile, "This is an invitation letter from the Japanese National Youth Girls Basketball Team."

national team?I didn't lead Diguang to make any dazzling achievements, and I'm not a scorer. The interior of Diguang is completely messed up. This...

"It's normal for scouts to appear in academic competitions. The final score is not everything. You have shown the possibility of becoming an excellent player. Moreover, the national runner-up is already very good, so there is no need to belittle yourself." Platinum Supervisor reassured me, "You don't have to be too surprised. I was only one or two years older than you when I joined the National Youth Men's Basketball Team. But I want to explain two points in advance. First, the training of the National Youth Women's Basketball Team is to become a professional player in the future. , has a long-term nature, and the training schedule of the players is strictly regulated. After entering, they are not allowed to participate in the activities of the intramural basketball club without authorization, so as to avoid conflicts between the two sets of training. Intra-department activities and academic competitions can only be held in the National Youth League. Participate with approval."

I nodded to show understanding.

"Second, the National Youth League is not a place where you can afford to be distracted. You will be dragged down in your studies, let alone participate in other extracurricular activities. In the National Youth League, your focus is on basketball. The National Youth League is a very strict place, but there It will be of great help to you as a professional player. Others who enter the professional world after graduating from high school or college cannot compare with those who have already received national youth training. Your next few years are the most important growth period for athletes , The future potential depends on the present, and the National Youth League will help you. Therefore, I hope you can carefully consider this invitation. You still have greater potential."

"Yes, I understand, thank you very much, please come here." I accepted the document, stood up and sent him away, and then flipped through the document.

Occupation.

Professional basketball player?

This is an option that I never thought about since I only got into basketball after high school.I practiced hard and had goals I wanted to achieve, but I never had a basketball dream.

Did Kaori-senpai and her friends have dreams about basketball?

I play professional basketball?

I was thinking about it, and I forgot to pay attention to the time for a while, and the class bell rang unexpectedly.I put away the documents, grabbed my schoolbag and ran to the teaching building. I couldn’t change my shoes in time. I took my indoor shoes and socks and ran to the second floor. I opened the door of the classroom with a bang and arrived at the end of the bell. classroom.Seeing the teacher taking out a handkerchief and wiping sweat, the homeroom teacher, Hongcun buried her head in her arms and laughed smugly.

I breathed out, hung my schoolbag on the hook beside the table, said good morning to Ota Yuka next door, asked her to borrow some hair clips, tied all the loose hair back, and fixed it with hair clips Hair that is too short.

During class, Hongcun poked me with a pen and said in a low voice, "Hey, what's the matter, my face was so scary early this morning."

"Didn't eat breakfast." I turned a page of the book.

"Huh? Stupid! You won't tell me? Tell me next time, I'll buy you bread. You just said you had a stomachache last time."

I glanced at him, "Isn't your wallet empty?"

"Anyway, I'm starving and you won't die."

"……"Hey.

"..." Hongcun, who suddenly realized what he said, froze for a moment, and then went crazy, "I, hey, I mean..."

──It doesn't look handsome at all.

I looked away and laughed.

"Gao, Takahashi, Hongcun!" Teacher Qian Jian shouted forcefully, "You, you," he took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "No, you are not allowed to fall in love in class!"

──hello.

"No, that's not right! Ahhh!" Teacher Qianjian screamed, and said weakly with a blue face, "I, can I say it again?"

Daichi Jincheng in the front seat held up his glasses and said with a smirk, "I don't think there is any need to say it again. This is already a correct answer. Teacher, they are so noisy that I will not be able to concentrate on class. Please send them out to stand." He turned around, "Takahashi, I'm not a man who's soft-hearted towards the enemy! It's fine for other teachers, but it's completely fine to report to Mr. Asami."

──You are getting more and more strange.

"That..." Teacher Qianjian raised his hand, crying, "You have to stand for punishment in class. Master Gao, Takahashi, students from Hongcun, oh, can I invite you to stand for punishment? I'm sorry!"

With a kick, I pushed back the chair, stood up, raised my hand to signal that I knew, picked up the book and pen, and walked out of the classroom briskly, standing in the corridor as punishment.Hongcun, who reacted a step late, came out in a bit of a panic amidst the laughter of his classmates, and closed the door.I stood against the wall, flipped through the book, and occasionally wrote some notes; Hongcun held the book in one hand and put the other in his trouser pocket.

I raised my eyes and he was looking sideways at me.

In Teiko during school hours, the corridors are quiet.

"Hey."

"What?" I lowered my head to study by myself.

He pulled out his hand from his trouser pocket and pressed it on my head, "You're an idiot."

"You're not much better." I reached out to him, "Book." I took Hongcun's book and circled the key points for him, "I didn't bring lunch today." So treat me to dinner.The student union has a bunch of papers waiting for me or something, go to hell.

"Ah, please."

"Filial piety."

"Be filial to your mother, be filial."

"My mother? Are you looking for her? My mother is very busy. Please make an appointment."

"cut."

I lowered my head to mark the key points and smiled, "Thank you." Yes, Hongcun's notes are getting better and better.

"What to eat?"

"Just kidding, I'll eat by myself." Hongcun has to visit his father in the hospital after work every day, and he also has to help his mother take care of his younger siblings. Lunch is his rare rest time.

"You idiot." Hongcun pushed my head once before retracting her hand, "Remember, if you want someone to eat with you, be honest."

I closed the book, turned around and looked up at him, "Then I will trouble you to accompany me, Xiu Zao."

"..."

"..." carry on.

Hongcun covered her nose and turned her back suddenly, the corners of my mouth also twitched.What is your nosebleed?What the hell are you thinking about?I slapped him hard on the back with the book, and Hongcun let out a low cry, but it was enough for me to hit him, the tall figure shrank a bit, a little pitiful.In the end, I dragged him to the medical room to stop the bleeding, and covered his face with tissues.

"Hello." Hongcun sat on the sofa in the medical room.

"What?" After I bent down and wiped his face, I turned around and went to the sink next to me to wash my hands.

"You think you're a superman." Hongcun, with a tissue stuffed in his nose, said in a nasal voice, "Stupid, it's a bit of a loophole to stop me occasionally. Tomorrow is very important, yesterday is very important, and today is not important Hello. Whose summer is only once a year, senior sister's 15-year-old only once, and your 15-year-old only once, idiot."

I stopped, the faucet was still flowing, and the water was gurgling.

"That's not necessarily true." I wiped my hands again, "If the time machine really works, we'll be 15 years old again." I turned on the faucet, wiped my hands and walked back, sitting next to him.

"Huh? What is it?" He held his head and put his elbows on his thighs. "Is it interesting to discuss this kind of thing? Do you really have time for this? Instead of thinking about it so much, just be yourself right now." I can do it. I’m not telling you not to think about other things, but there’s nothing you can do if you can’t figure it out. Anyway, you’ll know when the time comes.” He stretched out his hand and scratched my nose, “I’ll regret not having a good time now For a moment, I can’t come back. Time machine? Aha? I remember you’re not good at science, Jincheng’s words are a bit convincing, hey.”

I looked at him for a long time, "Hongcun."

"what."

I laughed, "You're pretty handsome."

"...Aha? Huh? Hey!" His nosebleed suddenly flowed out again, "Fuck! My school uniform! The blood stains are hard to wash off, hey."

"No, just soak it in water."

"You also know?"

──Are you sure you want to know why.

"Take it off." I said.

"Ha? Haha? I, I, cut." Hongcun stuffed his nose with a tissue, then took off his coat, stood up and turned his back, loosened his tie, unbuttoned it, took off his school uniform shirt and handed it to me , "Can you do it? I'm a little worried. Hey. You don't seem to be good at these things. Your family is a young lady."

Well in good shape. "If it's just soiled, it's easier to wash it right away." I took the shirt, took it to the sink and wiped the soiled area with mixed water, "Please hire an hourly servant, because no one at home is free to do housework But that doesn't mean I'm an idiot."

"It's pretty good, hey." He leaned over.

I turned around and saw that his head was next to mine, and his eyes just happened to look over.

"Hah!" Hongcun suddenly turned around and sneezed.

I laughed out loud, washed it quickly, dried it with a paper towel, and asked him to put the shirt back on.Hong Cun pouted, not knowing what he was thinking, looked at me, and suddenly covered his mouth and laughed so loudly that he slapped the wall.

"what."

"Hair," he stretched out his hand with a grin, "a pinch fell out, right in the middle, stuck to the water, stay." After smoothing my hair, his warm palm wiped my forehead a little harder , "Hello, Takahashi."

"what?"

"Take a picture with me."

"……what?"

"Come here," Hongcun grabbed my shoulders and took out his mobile phone, "Just once, don't tell me no, I'll beat you up."

"I didn't say no." I said with a smile.

"..." He glanced at me sideways, "Cut, it's super difficult."

We looked at the camera and laughed together.
