[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

The author has something to say: double update today, the next chapter will be uploaded before eleven o'clock in the evening.

I went to Tokyo this afternoon, but I was forced to hang out by Nana Narita. Together with Ikawa Asahi and other former teammates, we went to play with a certain college’s men’s basketball team.On the way back, I had a gloomy face, thinking that it would be better to play as His Royal Highness.They never dared to pull me into a social relationship before.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Nana Narita grabbed my arm, "Takahashi, you are well-dressed, but you don't want to find a boyfriend?"

"Is there anything I can eat?" With all of you, I am exhausted.

Narita Nana stretched out her green index finger with nail polish, tapped it on her lips that were also shiny after school, and said with a smile, "Yes."

──hello.

"I know you're busy," Narita Nana brought her lips to my ear, "but you can't cover up your heartbeat just by being busy. For example, Hongcun?"

She means well. "You dress up to make yourself happy, not to please others." I smiled, "Thank you, but that's not the case. I really don't have the time to think about such things now. Pay attention to your studies."

"Hongcun seems to be doing well in the United States. I heard from an old classmate that his father's condition has made great progress."

"That's really great," I laughed, "Hongcun's father is a very good person."

"Your Highness!" Takai Satomi ran over and handed me a leaflet with both hands, "Didn't you say that you are learning to draw? Do you want to try this competition? It is very suitable for His Highness Takahashi."

Ichikawa Asahi walked up behind Takai Satomi, poked his head to look, his face twitched, "Fuck, what the hell, it ruins the image."

Like my mother, I straightened Ichikawa Asahi's messy bun and asked with a sigh, "What competition?"

"Bearing Summer Clothes Design Contest, yeah!" Takai Satomi raised her hand and shook it.

"Huh?" Ikeuchi Yuki came over drinking Coke, "Does Xiong still wear clothes in summer? Will it be too hot to make people lose their appetite?"

Yuan Xiaochun tilted his head and asked, "Does Xiongxiong need to wear clothes?"

I laughed, patted Ichikawa Asahi on the head and took the flyer, smiled and waved the hand holding the flyer, "No matter what kind of competition it is, it is impossible for people from Luoshan to lose."

"Ah, the Coke in this store is terrible, although I don't particularly like to drink.", "Is there a difference between whether the Coke is good or not? Ah, I'm so tired, I don't want to play.", "Of course there are I hate it, don't discriminate against Coke!", "It's the boys who are wrong, take us to a restaurant that doesn't taste good.", "Sakura is stupid, will he be picked up by bad people if he leaves it there?"

...I have fallen from the altar and been picked up by strange people.I laughed for a while, and walked slowly behind them. They sent me to the Shinkansen station, and I returned to Kyoto. Early the next morning, I went to report to the men's basketball team in the summer training camp as usual.I'm not a team member, nor a real manager, and Akashi doesn't care if I stay overnight or not.

"Saki," when I was discussing the practice match with the members of the Second Army, Akashi walked over, "Please come over for lunch."

"Okay, I got it." I responded, and then continued to send practice notes, "Xikou, I'll leave the inside call to you. Show a little bit of Daqianfeng, or wait and see. Besides..." The end of the morning Before that, I also went to the First Army to watch the training.They are all working hard, and I don't need to say anything more. I just took a look at the situation, and then turned to talk to other managers about the team's training results.

"Takahashi-san," Sota Terasawa, the manager of the first-year army in the second grade, handed me the statistical form, "This is the latest strength test form. In terms of speed, Yokokawa-san is doing it. In terms of skill test and practice competition evaluation, Fukada-senpai is doing it. Tidy up, Fukada-senpai and the coach are already having a meeting to discuss it, and I'll give it to you after finishing it tonight, is that okay?"

"OK thanks."

"Are you going to integrate them into the personal files of the players? Let me help you do it tonight?"

"Ah, that was a great help, thank you." I thanked with a smile.

"No, you still have to come up with a strategic plan. As for the opponent's information, I asked the managers of the Second Army to help collect it."

"Please. That's right. Let's arrange the training schedule according to the current table. No matter what position he plays, the bottom five in the table." I held out an index finger to him, "Send them a card for hell." Circle tickets."

"Yes." Terasawa Sota covered her mouth, smiled and turned to leave.

I also laughed.

When I came back to my senses, it was already noon.Sure enough, it's a miserable high school girl's summer vacation, but I don't even want to go to a sorority.I stood bleakly in a dark corner for 5 minutes, telling the starters to go to the cafeteria first, and then I followed them.It is Akashi's insistence that the starting players eat together, although I think it is quite unnecessary to do so in terms of his way of doing things.When I saw that the vacant seat had already been filled with my favorite food, I paused and nodded to Akashi to thank him.Fuck me, I'll just get there early next time.

Listening to the starters chatting casually, I got up to leave after eating quietly, but Akashi stopped me unexpectedly.

"Wait a minute, Saki, I called you over today because I have something to announce." He put down the tableware, wiped his lips with a tissue without haste, and then continued: "Before he officially comes to report, I hope to talk to you first." Say it."

I frowned as I looked at the members present who had lost third-year student Sho Yaguchi.Is Akashi going to change the starter?I have always been the person who edits all the information, but Akashi is the last one. He can grasp the situation of the players very well.

"This summer, our team will join a new member, the third-year student Dai Chihiro. He will succeed Yaguchi Sho as the new starting power forward."

"Have you notified Yaguchi-senpai?" I asked.

"It has been said that he will be transferred to the bench as a backup for the power forward."

I don't have to ask what the fate of the original big front peak backup will be.Akashi didn't say much, but he didn't mean to mobilize again. The original reserve was still in the first army, which was considered good.I looked at him and didn't speak again, but other people had objections.

"Although it's Xiaozheng's recommendation," Reo Mibuchi stretched out her fingers and brushed her hair, "but at least I hope it won't hold you back."

"Yeah? But Akashi said it! Yaguchi has been kicked away. Takahashi," Hayama Kotaro turned to me, "Have you heard of this person? Dai Chihiro? I have no impression that there is such a person in the team. , if it is a third-year student, it must be very powerful!"

"I didn't hear that it means weak," Reo Mibuchi said impatiently, "You idiot?"

"Hey! Are you weak?"

Nebuya Nagatani picked up the fifth bowl of rice, "Hey, I don't recognize weak guys."

"No," Akashi said with a gentle smile, "you will understand, as long as you are on the field. Saki, you also need to understand his ability, and meet him later."

"I understand." Regarding the issue of strength, I didn't say much, and those who can get on are the ones who can get on.I looked up at him, "But, Akashi, you have to tell me his ability first. Yaguchi-senpai's defensive ability is enough to stabilize the inside line, and although Dai Qianxun's basic quality is much better than ordinary people, but in Luoshan, he is only the third army. I think you have considered this issue, but if the foundation of the starting lineup is shaken, I will not agree with it." I never meant to show mercy.That's not pity, and presumptuous pity isn't real respect.

"Three armies?" Ye Shan called out, and the faces of the other two were not very good-looking.

"Yes," I saw that Akashi didn't mean to stop me, so I continued, "At the beginning of the semester, he once handed in a letter of resignation. The written reason was that he couldn't stand the high-intensity training, and then he couldn't stand it." Living in Luoshan is like being abandoned like a waste. The morale of the two armies is suppressed by the atmosphere of victory in Luoshan, and it is easy to feel frustrated.There is nothing shameful about quitting knowing your limits, although personally, I would question the definition of limits first.

"Don't worry, Saki, I'll tell you the details again. As for Chihiro, Saki, can't you think of it?"

I think of Dai Qianxun's extremely weak sense of presence...well.Kuroko?

"I hope that Qianxun can become Luoshan's sixth person. Of course, it's just an expectation. Let everyone evaluate him together."

I looked at the dissatisfaction of the other three people, and I didn't make a sound. I nodded quietly to show my understanding, then turned and left, and went back to the self-study room where there was no one.I understand what Nana Narita means, but I have no intention of being a mother.I looked at the book on the table and covered my forehead to recite the book.After high school, I chose liberal arts. There are no science subjects that I can’t understand. But reading is not only about comprehension. , but others still need work.

My time is also time, and I'm not so nosy yet.If Dai Qianxun can come up, just go up.To get the approval of his teammates, others can help, but the most important thing is himself.

"Saki." In the afternoon, Akashi walked in, "Go see Chihiro."

"Yes." I put away my things, stood up while leaning on the table, and shook off his hand to support me.

He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Are you not dissatisfied with Chihiro?"

"You have to look at his strength to make a conclusion." I took the notebook and said blankly, "I have a bad temper, but I don't remember being so boring and targeting people for no reason. Personality is another time. Things, in basketball, victory is enough.”

"If that's what you really mean, then I'll be glad."

I stopped and looked at him, "Hey, you're boring, it's none of your business what I think, just listen to me whatever I say. If you don't lose, it's okay, right? You don't care if I'm a mother in my heart You're still fucking your mother, son of a bitch, there's a lot of chatter, don't you bother me. When did I say I'm going to lose? If I'm going to lose, I won't come to Luoshan."

"I'm just making sure. That's good."

"I can still separate public and private affairs." I continued to walk to the stadium side by side with him, "Don't worry about my emotions affecting the team. What you want to say, I will talk about it when I don't do well. Since you think Victory is inevitable, so don't talk nonsense; you say victory is the only thing, then don't interfere with me." I stretched out my hand and opened the door before him.

"very good."

So, on this day, Luoshan's starting lineup changed.

Before the end of July, Luoshan won the Kansai Championship and headed for the national competition──

"Sakura, why is no one listening to the call home? It's 09:30." The mother's tired voice came from the phone, "Don't go home too late."

"No, it's okay, I'm sleeping together, I need you to worry."

"You should come back to Tokyo, the sports club is too violent and not suitable for you."

I twitched the corner of my mouth.I have already returned to Tokyo, and now the national competition schedule is in progress, and the whole team has come to Tokyo, the host city, to stay in the hotel together.In fact, I have already told my family, but they all forget it.I smiled bitterly, and continued: "Please let me handle it myself, I will take care of myself. Take care of your body, don't be too busy."

After I hung up the phone, I looked at Akashi who was sitting opposite: "Sorry, Akashi, we can continue. To Yangquan, you just said that you will not play?" Two days later, Akashi told me that he wasn't going to play.I frowned, "What do you think? I need an explanation. The supervisor will go to this game, he won't approve it."

"I'll let him approve it, don't worry. Don't play."

"Atsushi Murasakihara won't play?" I was a little surprised.

"I won't let him go. Dahui won't either, he was injured, so, this is enough." Akashi waved to me, let me sit by his side to read another pile of materials, "Even if I don't Come on, my team is good enough to win. Saki, if you want to command, I will ask the supervisor to let go."

"I hope? It's your wish." I rolled my eyes and showed him my notebook, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to convince you. Since Ziyuan won't play, we need to change our strategy in the latter part of the game. Yangquan is a defensive type , although Ziyuan is not here, we still use the first round to test, otherwise if we make a mistake and our attack is blocked by Yangquan, then..."

Talking about good things, it was already past eleven o'clock when I came to my senses.

"Akashi, you should go back to sleep first. Although you are not going to end, you are still in the final round, so you have to keep your spirits up. Sorry, it was my mistake, you should go to bed before ten o'clock."

"No, it has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault." He stood up, "I'm sorry, Saki."

"No, you are being polite."

I opened the door to send Akashi out, but I saw everyone who was about to knock on my door.

"..." I said, don't look like you're thinking about it.

"I originally wanted to ask Xiaosaki if he wanted to go eat together," Mibuchi Reo said with a smile, "but Xiaosaki and Xiaozheng are busy. Next time. Be careful and don't go to bed too late. Good night~" Then the cheerleaders turned and left.

"..." I said, don't leave room for people to make up their minds in the words.I'm the only girl in the whole team, and I have a room to myself. You two share a room. If you don't talk in my room, where do you go?Yeah, wait a minute.I raised my voice and said, "Damn it, I have to train early tomorrow, and I'm not allowed to eat at night! Go back to sleep immediately!"

Their backs disappeared even faster.

"Saki."

"What?" I stopped by and signaled him to use his skills.The majesty of the captain, let those idiots go back to sleep for me.

Akashi took out his phone, pressed the button and put it to his ear, "What we were talking about just now..." He waved his hand to signal me to pause, "Lingyang, I hope you all go back to rest immediately. Although there is no game tomorrow, I still don't want to I hope to see something that disrupts the biological clock during the game. Goodbye." He put away his phone and turned to me again, "There is one more thing I need to ask for your opinion. Did you watch the game between Dahui and Tetsuya's school earlier? ?”

Heizi's school was overwhelmed by Qingfeng, and he missed the chance to enter the national competition.I don't remember the detailed game plot, but according to the current situation, Qingfeng's school, Tonghuang, will face us in Luoshan in the final.

"Didn't watch the scene, just watched the video. You mean?"

"Although I haven't seen any evidence, I think Dahui can enter the ZONE freely."

The so-called ZONE, the scientific explanation is that the athletes have entered a state of incomparable concentration, and they can exert [-]% of their strength even in the tense arena.From an unscientific point of view, it is a skill that only selected people can explode.

I frowned, and he continued: "I already have an idea, but I need to confirm it."

"...You mean, after watching Aomine's game, you deduced that he could enter the zone, and then you figured out how to freely enter the zone?"

"It still needs a little verification, but you can say that's right. Seeing Saki's reaction, it seems that you agree with my inference. Originally, I wanted to wait and see Dahui try to enter the zone by himself, but now, I can try it as soon as possible."

──Fuck, what a genius?

"I understand, let's talk about it tomorrow. For now, it would be better for you to go to rest first." I looked at his face, "Excuse me, but your face is not very good recently." He is older than me. The heavy self-study did not stop during the competition.No matter how easy you are on weekdays, you will feel a little tired now.

"No, Saki, there's no need to worry, I just didn't sleep well, it has nothing to do with not being able to handle things."

Genius, shut up.I turned my face away haggardly, "Ah, that's it, I'm busy. Good night."

"Good night."

When he reached out to help me close the door, I reached out to close the door first.Then, I looked at the door panel and covered my face.

──Why do I suddenly feel like I am an elementary school student?

Akashi's calm expression and his usual gracious performance, it's like saying that I'm playing a child's temper, and he is a gracious adult.I turned my face away and exhaled, got up to get the walnut sesame paste that my father sent me, and then went to boil hot water. I recited "I have long wings" a thousand times silently, holding my chin and waiting for the hot water to boil.

His complexion is indeed not good, he really couldn't sleep well.

With my things in hand, I went upstairs to Akashi's room and knocked on the door.

"Akashi, it's me, Takahashi."

"Saki?" Akashi, who had already changed into his pajamas, opened the door.
