[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"It's Your Highness Takahashi!" As soon as I stepped into Diguang, some students shouted.

Is a three-year student.I waved my hand to them, "Good afternoon. Long time no see, you are both three years old."

"Ah! Your Highness Takahashi!"

After chatting with them for a while, I didn't need to sign the visitor list at the school gate, so I turned to the gymnasium.My direction is not women's basketball, but men's basketball.I went directly to the gymnasium of the first team of the men's basketball team, and found Sanada, the former coach of the first team who had become the general manager.Supervisor Platinum retired early in the summer of my third year due to health reasons.

"Calm down your head! Idiot!" Coach Sanada was as strict as ever, and the boys practiced as hard as those who have worked hard here in the past.

"Excuse me." I said standing by the door.

Coach Sanada was taken aback when he saw me.I came today to find him.He and I walked to the side of the track and field and looked at Teiko's stadium area through the railing.

"...That's it, you're going to school again." Coach Sanada nodded, "Takahashi-san, you've done a great job, keep up the good work. You're absolutely fine, so keep your confidence. Don't give up on the past, don't give up on the future!"

"Yes, thank you." I looked at him, "I am studying at Luoshan High School, and I am the team manager of the men's basketball team." He was stunned again, and I added: "The captain is Akashi."

As the chief supervisor, Sanada knew the whereabouts of the team members.He was silent for a long time suddenly, so I just looked at him and waited until he spoke again.

"Student Takahashi, what is your purpose here?" His face had already turned downcast.

"Can you tell me what happened to Akashi and the others?" I don't believe he didn't know that something happened to these children.

Coach Sanada clenched his fist and thumped on the railing, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "...it's my fault. Everything is my fault! If...if it's Supervisor Platinum...it's my incompetence !"

That summer, after Aomine's first burst of potential, Coach Sanada said that Director Platinum had noticed that the five members of "Generation of Miracles" would face many difficulties, and there would be heavy pressure behind the aura, and he was ready to watch them at any time , gave them guidance, and also gave instructions to Coach Sanada.Unfortunately, Supervisor Platinum, who has always been in poor health, fell ill at this time, stepped back, and was replaced by Coach Sanada.And Coach Sanada──

"It's me! I, I actually said that!" Coach Sanada's hands showed veins, "I actually told Aomine that he can come to the club to practice if he doesn't want to, as long as he wins in the game! I actually said When I say this, obviously, obviously, what I want to do is to catch them back and beat them up, and then come back to practice obediently! Instead of giving them preferential treatment!" Coach Sanada became more and more excited, his face flushed, "I have already done it. Well, if they don't wake up, then it's no way to prepare them to drop them into the Second Army, but I...I can't bear the consequences of "Generation of Miracles" not playing, I...it's my incompetence and cowardice! I simply don't have the ability to point out the direction to them who are too good!"

I also fell silent.I turned my head to look at the sunset setting on the track and field again, exhaled lightly, folded my arms and said, "Thank you."

Coach Sanada looked up at me in astonishment, behind his glasses were eyes that were so excited that they were watery when he was talking.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that you are right." I turned to him, "Fuck you, it must be for the rate of publication, Teiko's reputation, and achievements, and you also want to keep your job. But anyway, You're taking it too far? You're their educator, you're an elder, and even you doing this will only hasten the breakdown of those kids. Fuck, I want to hit you. I say, a good coach is a good thing for kids Don’t you understand how important it is? Growth means to be more mature and tall enough to hold up the sky for those who haven’t grown up yet. Have you grown up for so many years? I don’t know if Supervisor Platinum is You can handle things better, but objectively speaking, he has more authority and seniority than you in the school board, and it is true that he does not need to be subject to the principal."

"...I know, of course I know it's my cowardice."

"And the fact that you have to raise a family and be subject to the school." I looked at him, "I'm not rationalizing your behavior, damn it, do you know what kind of pervert they have become? But you have your own reasons , What do you mean by what you are doing now? Things have happened, and after reflection, "if" is meaningless. You are still standing in the position of supervisor, and you have a new generation of children under your command, so what are you going to do next? Have you thought about becoming a performance-oriented person, or starting to find your own persistence? Platinum supervisors did not have such qualifications on the first day. What can I do? If I make a mistake, don’t I have to go on?” I paused, “Then do I want to die with Kaori-senpai?”

"...Wait, wait, Takahashi, I know I made a mistake here, but the women's basketball thing is none of your business..."

Of course it's a scumbag, and I'm not an idiot who wants to do everything, but, really, I could have done better.I gritted my teeth secretly, then looked up at Coach Sanada.

"I mean, are you going to collapse with those kids? Yes, then find a tall building and jump off by yourself, don't continue to be a supervisor while showing such a weak and incompetent expression! Fuck, you still Do you want to harm other children? As an instructor, as a person who chooses to stand in an educational position, do you guide them with this idea!" I reached out and grabbed his tie, "If the child is enlightened, you will Are you not enlightened! Who are you showing your decadence? Apart from making things worse, being decadent has no effect at all! If you don’t want to die, put you away like this! Stand up after a break! Go to death and don’t drag others to you Buried with you!" I pushed him away, and Coach Sanada took a few steps back, "I will talk nonsense with you because this is you. One thing is one thing, I personally despise what you did to Akashi and the others , but," I turned my face away and exhaled, then turned back, put down my hands, and bowed seriously to him at ninety degrees, "Thank you for the encouragement and help you have given me. No one needs to carry other people's life , as long as you are not a perverted scum, I don’t think there is any problem with ordinary commuting, as long as you understand your own position. However, for you, personally, I hope you can become a real teacher. I admire you for your ability to When a student speaks out about your shame, please realize your own excellence, Coach Sanada!"

"I, I... Takahashi..."

I raised my head and smiled, "The student thanked you, do you feel a little happy? If you have, please persevere. No problem, please remember, as long as you still have the principles of being yourself, you can , the world will not be destroyed just because of this, you are not a hero, you don’t want to be a scum who destroys others. Of course, if you have the will to become a teacher, that would be even better. But before that , I, as a former student, thank you for your guidance."

Supervisor Sanada, who was probably in his 40s, covered his face, bent down, and shed tears.

To be so excited and ashamed by past students, I think he will make a good teacher.

After I bowed to him again, I turned my back and left, not going to see Coach Sanada who was crying.Who said only teenagers need to grow up?Even adults—and I look up at the orange sky above Teiko—have things to learn and grow.I both, have learned a lot.The deepest memories are probably carved with a knife, deeply engraved in my heart, but when it is carved, it is a knife, of course it will hurt.

"Ah! Gao, Takahashi!" Teacher Asami, the class teacher in the second grade, ran over when I left the school, "You, you are back!"

"No, no." If you haven't come back, is what you see now a ghost?

"..." Teacher Qianjian was so suppressed that his face turned red.

I laughed out loud and bowed to him, "Hi, long time no see, Mr. Jianjian."

"Ah, ah, ah," Teacher Qian Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his dark green handkerchief again, "You, ah no, hello!"

"..." What on earth was he talking about.

"Gao, Takahashi-san," Teacher Qianjian said, "Your feet, ah no! Me, me, pretend I didn't say anything!"

"No, it's okay." I smiled, "That's it, I won't run into the classroom in the future. Thank you for your care before."

"No! I can't do anything! Oh, I have punished Master Takahashi."

──Do you really know what you are talking about?

I chuckled and pushed my glasses, "I'm going first, goodbye."

"Gao, Takahashi!" Mrs. Asami called me, "That...that, that, what's your answer?"

"what?"

"You, after you walked out of Teiko Middle School, what's your answer? Thank you?" Teacher Asami stared at me, "Do you hate this place? I, I want to know your answer. During the opening ceremony, you said, said passed."

I paused, then smiled and said, "Here I find my courage." Then I stepped out of Regal.

In the third year of Teiguang, everyone gave me the halo of an angel... I sat on the Shinkansen and looked away haggardly.What the hell did I do again, I don't want to go to heaven yet.I covered my face in pain, and covered the carriage under the eyes of others.But I don't want to go to hell even more. In Akashi's case, what he holds is not just scissors or knives, it is definitely a chainsaw.I hold my head.Fuck, what will happen to my Luoshan high school memories?

──As expected, I became very strange.

On Friday, I went back to school and still missed the morning training.At noon, I went outside the gymnasium, and saw Akashi from the door who didn't miss any time, practicing basketball hard.As an outsider can understand, I already understand almost, but I can't do anything.After listening to other people's words, I already understand that nothing I say that can't defeat him is useless to him now.This person has become paranoid to the point of insanity.

On the premise of taking good care of myself and not getting in the way of Akashi by being nosy, what is my way out?

I put a towel and a bottle of water by the door and turned to leave.

Fuck you bastard, only ghosts will agree with you, and my brain is not sick.

After school, I carried my schoolbag and quietly re-entered the gymnasium.Standing on the sidelines, I carefully observed Akashi playing.Needless to say, he is excellent, there is nothing he is not good at, he is good at everything, and his commanding ability is first-rate. He is the most perfect point guard I have ever seen.In the past, I was not particularly good at anything. I practiced enough to make up for it. I was best at playing skills, stealing and passing the ball, and my comprehensive ability was not as good as him.

But since there is nothing he is not good at, the way he chooses to play is only based on his character.For example, always play ANKLEBREAKER.Using fake moves to control the opponent's movements, knocking the opponent down, kneeling in front of him, and then laying up with Shi Shiran face to face, his character is so bad that it explodes.Just shake it, even if you pass it, you can use a throw, but it's so bad that everyone who stands in front of him kneels down.

Holding my schoolbag and the bear that Akashi gave me, I sat down with my back against the wall, and I simply sat on the sidelines and watched.

Run around, kneel, layup; run around, kneel, layup.

I twitched the corner of my mouth.Did everyone who fought with him today offend him?After the work was over and the others left, Akashi wiped his sweat and sat next to me, but he didn't mind sitting on the floor.I hand over the water.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." I hugged Xiong Xiong and sat with my legs spread out on the ground, "I want to apologize to you first. I went to inquire about you without your consent."

"Then?"

"you are wrong."

"Then?"

"I'm right." I'm not two. Hey, the dualism of only right and wrong is wrong, but this time I truly believe I'm right.

"……Then?"

"Thank you. Thank you for saying something no one dared to say to me, and for bringing me back to basketball. I appreciate that very much." Well, the method has changed, the occasion is different, but, I also did come back.

"No, it's your own effort, I just said it, and you are the one who did it. Then?"

"I want to apologize to you again. I'm sorry to lose my temper with you." Ever since Akashi revealed that I was having a breakdown, although I was very grateful to him and knew that I was doing something wrong, I still wanted to play pranks on Akashi childishly.

"No, I don't care, and it doesn't have any effect on me. You knew it and chose me, and you didn't lose your temper with anyone else when you didn't want to go to physical therapy. You can prove it. Frankly, I'm surprised, but I don't think it's surprising either. I don't think Saki would like to put things to rest, but things involving yourself are not difficult to understand with your simple mind."

──Is it a powerful function of "Ignore".

──And what kind of infuriating understanding did you make to me later on without authorization.

I covered my face and smiled wryly, "This is not a reason for me to do this, nor is it a reason for you to tolerate me. I'm very sorry."

"No, but if you insist, I'll take it. Then?"

"You didn't want to apologize to me? I was really angry." I was very angry with his words and actions.He is wrong.

"I'm right, I won't take back those words, I don't even intend to change my tone, although you feel uncomfortable, but in other words, you can't listen to it, Saki, you Too naive. I can't make mistakes, but," he looked at me, "if you want, I can apologize to you as long as I don't think I was wrong. I hope you will feel a little better .”

──This kind of apology is good for your sister.

"Saki, there's no need to think about unnecessary things, it's enough for you to listen to me. I'm not that person. I won't make such low-level mistakes."

I was silent for a while before saying: "You bastard, do you mean that you will play with people's hearts to the point that you won't let them do it even to death?" Is that the highest level of scum?

"In fact, they have grown and made no mistakes under my leadership, haven't they? Saki, look clearly, who do you think you are following? Put aside other things and play to your heart's content, Saki, and give your talents to Me, just follow me."

"Go to hell." I put down my hand covering my face, turned my head and looked at him, "On the premise that I don't agree with you, I thank you very much, and I don't want to give up yet. If you can still bear it, I want to stay In Luoshan. Compared with other teams, I want to be in your team." What he values ​​is my talent, but this is not the only reason why he treats me well.His time is time, and I am grateful that he would be willing to visit me during that time, and he has been very considerate to me during this time.If he only treats me as a pawn, I will let him die. I am not really Changyi, but he is not a scumbag, so I really want to stay in Luoshan.

"I need your strength. The strength of every companion is necessary. As long as you can prove to me that you have that strength, then I welcome it at any time. As for the others, Saki, you will understand later."

"Yeah." The one who will understand later is you. "But don't get me wrong, I won't give up if Luoshan doesn't want me, don't be arrogant." At worst, I can go back to the women's basketball team.

Akashi smiled, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, welcome to Luoshan, Saki."

"Don't talk to girls in this tone again, and boys don't want it, fuck."

"..."

"One last time, go to the doctor."

"..." Akashi covered his head with a towel, preventing me from seeing his expression.

There are things I can't do and things I can do.

After Akashi left, I put down my schoolbag and Xiong, stood up against the wall, walked slowly to the basketball stand, picked up a basketball, and walked slowly to the free throw line.I bent down, opened my feet and slightly bent my knees, and slapped the basketball on the ground, slap, slap, slap, and an incredibly familiar voice rang out from my hands after a long absence.When the feel is almost there, I pick up the ball, center on my left foot, raise my hand, bend my knees, push up, and throw the ball.

In fact, I can throw the ball with both left and right hands, so I can switch hands freely to play skills.The basketball with the black line on the orange background fell onto the hoop along a parabola, circling and circling, and finally fell into the basket, shook the white net, and fell to the ground again, slapping, slapping, slapping and rolling to the side.

Ah, danger, almost didn't go in.

I pulled a miniature bear out of my skirt pocket, pressed its belly, and a recording played, echoing through the empty gymnasium.

"Takahashi! Winning, I didn't want to eat, but I still invite us to eat.", "Get out of the way, I chose the bear, of course I recorded it first, don't think that the manager doesn't Combat strength, Xiaobaimu.", "Ah! You are very noisy, obviously I am the one who scored the most points this time! Here I come! Sakura, we are the champions of the Kanto Tournament, please forgive me, don't be black again ...", "Eat, Your Highness Takahashi, let's go eat! Ikeda's proposal is great!", "Yeah? Is it for Takahashi? I like bear baby, Takahashi is really a cute and gentle girl Well. Don’t be shy, you can tell, Takahashi is just too reserved.” Then there was the sound of falling down.

These teammates in the same grade saved the money that the department used to celebrate. On the day when we won the Kanto Championship in the third grade, they bought this bear for me.

I looked up at the basket high above and far away from me again. My eyes gradually became hot, so I took a deep breath, raised my head higher, closed my eyes, and after a while, opened them again to calm down. Then he turned around to get his schoolbag and left.

I turned off the lights, stepped outside, and shut the gym door firmly.

Then my right knee bent, and with a thud, I fell in front of the gymnasium with blood on my face.

I fuck.

He wiped his nosebleed casually and got up.
