[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

The author has something to say: Please note: double update today.

"Hongcun isn't captain anymore?" I tightened the faucet of the sink beside the track and field, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Yeah? Takahashi doesn't know yet? Ah no, Hongcun," Hongcun's teammate, Liu Hai, the head of the men's basketball team, held his forehead and said helplessly, "It's normal that you don't know, especially You. This guy looks easy to talk to, but he's actually very stubborn, and he doesn't discuss his affairs with others much."

──Hongcun Shuzo doesn't seem like the type to talk.

Long Liu Hai said that Hongcun went to find the coach by himself, and recommended Akashi, a second-year student, to replace him as the captain.After the spring break training camp, the sophomore miracles have already surpassed the third-year students in individual strength. Supervisor Platinum even decided that this year's schedule will focus on the second-year first team.Hongcun didn't tell me about this, and I didn't notice it even though I was busy.This year, I and Hongcun are not in the same class, and we come and go in a hurry in the morning and after school, and we hardly have a chance to talk.

"Has his father's condition worsened?" Akashi's aptitude is very good, but the third grade has accumulated power for a long time, and the second grade is hard to convince. Even if Akashi is already better than Hongcun, it is impossible to make Akashi the captain because of this. If one fails, it will damage the morale of the team. I took over last summer because of an accident.As a traditional strong school, Teiguang always chooses its captains thousands of times. If you meet a prudent captain, there are also examples like me who have been trained by the seniors since the first grade.

"Daddy Hongcun?" Long Liu Hai was puzzled.

he does not know?Hongcun's father's illness was so serious that he would die at any time. I heard that Hongcun's father had an accident as early as spring, but he couldn't hide it until summer. Let his family know. It is already very impressive to survive until now.

He is Hongcun's good friend and important teammate.

We look at each other.Hongcun is an idiot.

Chang Liu Hai said that when Hongcun told him and other third-year teammates, he just planned to inform them before the coach made an official announcement.

"However, Akashi did a good job," Chang Liuhai smiled slightly, "this year's Teiko under the leadership of Akashi, we should not leave any regrets. Well, when we won the championship last year, the reporter came to visit Hongcun, Hongcun is still in a hurry, yelling that he doesn't want to accept any more interviews. His character is not suitable for doing these things, so there is nothing wrong with that."

The third-year students will have such a speech, which is a good testament to Akashi's excellence.I threw the towel on the edge of the sink, folded my arms and raised eyebrows at him.But it is impossible for a third-year student not to hold his breath.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not unimpressed." Chang Liuhai stretched out his hand and scratched his face, "It's fine if the captain is Hongcun, but of course he is in a bad mood when he is suppressed by his junior. If I have to choose, I still hope Hongcun will continue to be the captain."

"You also said that Hongcun has already made a decision, and he has his own considerations."

"That's what I said." He let out a breath, "If it wasn't for Akashi, I wouldn't accept it."

"That's why I said that Hongcun has considered it. Akashi's strength, his own personal situation, and the atmosphere in the team. I think he has considered all of these. Hongcun is not an irresponsible person." I glanced at his expression, then took out my phone, and in his puzzled eyes, I waved it under the setting sun, "Rainbow." The crystal on the phone strap reflected a rainbow of seven colors in the setting sun, "It's a bit stupid, But others say that if you wish on the rainbow, you can get the first place in the country.”

The classmate with long bangs froze for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Pfft, hahahaha! Does rainbow mean Hongcun? Are you also good at telling jokes? Pfft, hahahaha!"

"Spring has begun." I smiled and stretched out my hand, "Who is the winner?"

"I will recite it until you call me." Classmate Chang Liu Hai smiled and put his hand on the back of my hand, and pressed it down with me, "Diguang!" Then he raised his hand and spread it upwards.

The classmate with long bangs cheered up, and I smiled.Of course, Hongcun is not perfect, but the men's basketball team chose Hongcun not only because of his strength, but also because he is the spiritual pillar of his teammates.

I didn't ask about Hongcun, and Chang Liuhai didn't ask about Hongcun's father. We just didn't know.

The days passed day by day, and the regional competition began again──

I wore the number four jersey and led the team into the field amid cheers from the crowd.Before the start, I stood firmly in front of the bench with my feet slightly apart, straightened my back, crossed my arms and said, "This is our first game this year, we all want to win, and I think this game is absolutely It can be won, but don't be too careless. I don't think confidence is the same as arrogance."

"Yes!"

"There are some things I want to say before everything starts." I paused, looking at the eleven candidates on the bench, and glanced at the players in the auditorium, "Second and third graders still remember Captain Matsumoto Let's rely on others with Miyoshi."

The atmosphere between them froze, and the manager Narita Nana said: "Takahashi, the game is about to start, don't talk about it."

"No," I lifted my chin slightly, "it's not something that cannot be said. What I mean is, I don't want this to become something that cannot be said. Listen, first grade, and everyone else raise their heads!" I Raising the volume, their eyes fell on me, "Even today, I believe that Captain Matsumoto likes basketball." When we were talking about Miyoshi, Kaori Matsumoto still asked me if I liked basketball. Basketball, "Sisters have regrets in their summer, and I have regrets in my summer. My wish to step on the podium with Captain Matsumoto has no way to come true. However, I like basketball, because with Captain Matsumoto and you, I am even more excited. I like basketball. Each of you comes to play basketball for different reasons. I don’t want to force you to say that you like basketball, but when you finally step out of the Teiko women’s basketball team, as the captain of this class, I hope you The mood I get is not disgust." I smiled, "If it is like, it will be even better."

The three-year-old's eyes turned red, and the others didn't speak.

"Respect every piece of the past, respect what we have experienced, and then, even the last year, we must all look forward. Our summer this year is only about to start now!" I lowered my arms and said loudly, "We yes?"

"Diguang!" All the members stood up reflexively and said together.

"I can not hear!"

"Diguang!!"

"The goal is!"

"National Champion!!"

I took a breath and said louder: "We are!!"

"Diguang!!!!"

I stretched out my hand, bent down slightly, Zhengxuan walked over to form a circle, and put his hand on the back of mine.

Second-year vice-captain Owada Yuki said, "Thank you for your advice! Captain Takahashi!"

"Thank you for your advice! Captain Takahashi!" said the sophomores.

The first-year student also said afterwards: "Thank you for your advice! Captain Takahashi!"

I raised the corner of my mouth, "Thank you. Who is the winner?" We pressed our hands down together, "Diguang!" I waved my hand, "Go."

"Yes!"

Both sides lined up to salute, then we stood in the midfield, the whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown high from the referee's hands, and the moment it fell after reaching the highest point, it was immediately snatched by Yuan Xiaochun who caught the timing and passed it to the frontcourt Omae Peak's vice-captain Owada Yuki.

"Owata!" I raised my hand and made a gesture.

Owada passed the opponent with a feint and passed to the outside shooting guard Satomi Takai.Takai immediately made a jumper after receiving the ball.

"Three points!"

We raised our hands to signal each other, and at the same time ran back to the defense.

"Diguang! Diguang! Diguang! Diguang! Diguang!" In the auditorium, the cheers of the second and third armies resounded enthusiastically.

Come again.

I instructed Takai Satomi to pay attention to covering Ichikawa Asahi, then I dodged and gently poked away the opponent's ball with my fingers, hooked up the ball with my backhand, dribbled the ball high, and quickly ran to the bottom of the front court basket, with a squeak, and suddenly Stop, step down and change hands when the opponent comes to intercept to avoid stealing the ball from the opponent player, and then pass it to Ichikawa Asahi who is already waiting on the three-point line.Ichikawa made a jumper.

"Three points!"

I raised my hand and slapped Ichikawa across the air.

Come again!

With a similar strategy, I once again broke into the paint, but this time Asahi Ichikawa made a pass back after receiving the ball.I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled, and after regaining possession of the ball, I turned around, walked, jumped up and dunked, and slammed the basketball into the hoop.

"Two points!"

"Wow!!!" The audience cheered, "It's Teiko captain Takahashi Sakura!!"

I raised my hand and exchanged glances with the players on the field.Come again.I cheered up, focused on passing the ball and adjusting the rhythm on the field, and used my best skills to steal the ball and put a cold shot, and shot the ball to hit the opponent abruptly. The second-year student replaced Takai Satomi, and adjusted the focus of the game to the inside line of the front court to preserve the physical strength of the players.

──The Teiko women's basketball team broke through the first game in Tokyo with a 32-point difference.

"Ah!!" The girls on the court and on the bench hugged and cheered together.

I took the towel from the manager Nana Narita, wiped off my sweat, and looked at them with a smile.

"I was so happy when I saw someone win the first regional competition." Narita Nana said with a smile on her face.

"Teiko is the only one who is so arrogant that he doesn't care." Satomi Takai leaned over with his mouth open.

I lowered my head and laughed, then raised my hand and shouted, "What is the target?"

"No. [-] in the country!" They and the team members in the auditorium responded very quickly.

"we are?"

"Diguang!"

I reached out and overlapped them, my sweaty palms tightly overlapping each other.

"Diguang!!!!!!"

"Who is the winner?" Someone called out.

I stopped before someone answered with a blank face.Fuck, don't say that right after you win, idiot, the opponent isn't dead yet.Do you know how to be polite?

Line up, salute.

Both the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team are making breakthroughs in their respective regional competitions, and other sports clubs are also working hard to advance to the summer schedule together. The school also ushered in the Taiko Festival again.The general school festivals are held in September, but the Teiko Festival is unreasonably held in June, it seems to be to accommodate the anniversary of the school's founding.As a result, the Teiko Festival on this day unfortunately encountered heavy rain, and many activities were forced to be cancelled.It's disappointing, but as the student council president, I can breathe a sigh of relief.After arranging the rainy measures, I had some free time because I temporarily took care of some stalls. For the first time, I was able to visit the Teiko Festival with a purely playful attitude.

Because there is a man with glasses in our class, the theme is still the dessert house.I have already helped in the morning, and now I am lazy to hang out.As I walked, the corner of my mouth twitched and I saw Akashi appearing at the chess club's booth.The activities of these literary and artistic indoor clubs were not affected by the heavy rain, but the people who watched the chess club were all blue-faced, drenched in the heavy rain in a trance, and they were all shivering.

"It disappoints me." After easily killing the master general of the shogi society, Akashi Seijuro spoke indifferently, "Then, what is this year's gift?" Even the adults who came to visit were amazed at Akashi's chess power.

──He really came to kick the gym last year.

I walked in with a smile, "add me."

"Sister?" Akashi froze for a moment, then smiled, "If it's just a prize, I can give it to you."

"Not coming?" I sat down and raised my eyebrows.

The first time I played shogi with Akashi Seijuro, I failed miserably, and Akashi even showed a bored expression unconsciously.So I took the boy to play other chess, and played until noon, wasting half of my precious Diguang Festival.

Still lost.

His mind is too good to be like his peers.

──Youkai.

"...Sister?"

"No," I leaned on the wall and bent my back, "Please leave me alone." I once again understood what defeat means from the miracles, "Next time, let's play chess."

"I don't think I'll lose." Akashi smiled wryly and scratched his cheek with his fingers, "However, thank you, senior, for staying with me all morning, otherwise, it would be too boring to play with people from the Chess Club, although it is more interesting than ordinary people. Ah, senior, I have no other intentions, please don't get me wrong." Akashi's forehead was dripping with sweat, watching me become more and more stooped.

I covered my face and stood up straight again, and laughed, "Let's play with you next time." I waved to him.

"Yes, thank you for your advice, Takahashi-senpai."

After I separated from Akashi, I wandered around again, and I ran into the women's basketball team. We went to the gymnasium in a team, headed for the sports club, and kicked the gymnasium.

──Actually, kicking the gym is fun.

"Great! I feel good today!" After scoring a goal, Ichikawa Asahi raised his hand happily, and I smiled and slapped her.

Although our motor nerves are very good, what can make us play the happiest is basketball.

"Senior sister..." The second-year boy of the men's basketball team said with a youthful face, "You have already won 52 bottles of drinks from us, I beg you not to play any more... Woo...His Highness Takahashi..." He Almost kneel in front of me.

"That's not allowed," manager Narita Nana said with a smile. "There are 130 seven players in the women's basketball team. There are not enough points here. At least," she smiled softly, "Each person should get three bottles."

──Actually, I'm not the one who goes too far.

"...Senior," the junior burst into tears, "So you wanted to use our prizes like this? The men's basketball team will go bankrupt, and Hongcun senior will kill, kill me." He said He turned to the department and shouted, "Everyone in the First Army! Help! His Highness Takahashi has brought people to the pavilion!"

Hey, I didn't bring it.I turned my face away expressionlessly.

Ichikawa held the ball and hooked it in a dazzling way, "Go ahead, I'm not afraid of you, it's just right when the first army comes."

I smiled and slapped Ichikawa again.

At this time, there are only some second graders staying at the booth in the department, and the people who are dragged out to rescue are the "Generation of Miracles" who are all present.I raised my eyebrows, and looked at Seijuro Akashi who was wearing the No. [-] jersey.Finally, am I going to have a duel with the miracles?

let's go.

"Takahashi-senpai," Akashi smiled slightly, "is this your decision?"

I folded my arms and said with a smile: "If you want to fight, come." I also began to look forward to it.

"Okay, then I understand, please wait a moment." Akashi suddenly returned to the club room, and when he turned around and came out again, he was holding a super giant bear doll that was taller than a real person.

Carry on.

"Takahashi-senpai," Akashi handed it over with both hands, "please accept it."

"..." I looked at him, then took the baby bear with both hands, and hugged him.Actually, I like Axiong very much.

"Yeah... Takahashi!" Ichikawa Asahi became frantic, "How could you be bought by a little bear! What about kicking the gym we agreed on? And the drinks in the department!"

Satomi Takai screamed, "His Highness Takahashi! Cute! Ah, I can't do it!" She passed out inexplicably.

I rolled my eyes, "Go home."

Ichikawa Asahi pointed at me with veins all over his face, "You really have been bought!"

Kise Ryota was ready for a fight, but now he said with a broken face: "Akashi, did you actually solve the matter like this? Shouldn't we have a youthful duel?"

Akashi said honestly: "There are too many people here. If the captains confront each other, it will have a bad influence on the department. The purpose is to solve the problem that the seniors eat up our department fees, isn't it? The method is not important , as long as you can win."

"Then," Heizi raised his hand and asked, "Akashi-san, where did Baby Bear come from?"

Akashi smiled and said: "It's a gift from the shogi society. I knew that senpai liked it since she challenged me with shogi. This year's gift is such a tasteless thing. I was very disappointed. But I didn’t expect that there are times when waste is used.” Akashi said with a little comfort, “It’s really great, I’m very satisfied.”

Hei Zizhe also opened his eyes, "Akashi really has no love for the bear." Heizi stretched out his hand and rubbed against the bear's side, "Yes, that's great, Takahashi-senpai, the bear has found a good owner. "His clear blue eyes are facing me, his expression is very serious.

Not mocking?I nodded with a smile.

"Zhe..." Momoi Wuyue, the manager of the men's basketball team, said, "Zhe is too gentle...I can't do it!" Then he fainted with a blushing face.

"Xiao Tao!" Kise exclaimed.

"Hello!" Shintaro Midorima's face was full of veins.

"...Ah──? Stop hitting──? Then──I'm going back to bed, okay?" Atsushi Murasakibara yawned and left.

Akashi silently turned his back, not letting anyone see his expression.

"Sakura Takahashi!" Ichikawa knelt on the ground in grief and indignation, and slammed the ground with his right hand, "Don't like this kind of pink dreamy thing! You are a pretty girl of light! What about books? What about basketball? Even art Even a knife is fine! Do you think you are still a primary school student! The general is not allowed to like baby bears!"

──What exactly do you misunderstand about me?

I twitched the corner of my mouth.In fact, I am just an ordinary person with my own personality, with advantages and disadvantages, disadvantages and strengths. Why don't you worship those "generation of miracles" who are superior to common sense?

──Am I on the road of holding a little white flower and yelling that I am a passerby?

Qingfeng also covered his face, "As a result, even Takahashi-senpai will have flaws."

──So what the hell are you guys misunderstanding about me?

The miracles present and other second-year students all covered their faces.I rolled my eyes, walked out with Axiong in one hand, and waved back without looking back.

"Do you think," Ichikawa Asahi yelled behind me, "do you think you'll still be handsome doing this while hugging Bear! Fuck me!"

The rain had stopped and the Teiko Matsuri had come to an end, but the students were still playing around enthusiastically.I came to the booth of the Hongcun class and looked around.Their class is also a dessert house. The host is the female class leader who was in my class last year. She threatened to compete with the glasses man this year.I put down A Xiong, ordered a plate of strawberry cake, and stuffed the cake into my mouth amid Hongcun's muffled laughter.

After I was full, I took a box of melon milk wrapped in paper, leaned against the window while biting on a straw, and looked at the sports field not far away.

Hongcun pulled off her apron and walked over, standing next to me by the window.The background was noisy students and visitors, and Hongcun and I stood quietly together.
