[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"Saki," Akashi took a sip of tea, "Your cooking has improved a lot. Thank you."

It was indeed a maid.I took off my apron and sat down on the chair that Akashi had pulled out, "Thank you. Anyway, this hotel has a kitchen, try it. Is it okay?"

"Well, it's perfectly fine." He sat next to me, "but will it be too hard on you?"

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "The supervisor doesn't need me to make plans at all. The manager has Terasawa to help with other things, and I can't do a lot. I am the most idle person now."

Akashi pushed the thick slice of cheese into small pieces with a knife and pushed it in front of me, "You haven't had breakfast yet."

"Thank you. You don't have to wait for me," I casually picked up a fork and put it in my mouth, "Go down first."

Akashi glanced at his watch, "No, I'll wait for you. And I hope you will continue to serve as an assistant coach," his eyes turned cold, "Judging from Platinum Supervisor's behavior, he will soon intervene. Can't live."

"You can drive him out first." I raised my head and poured the fried egg into my mouth.

"But it's too troublesome to adjust again with a new supervisor. At least after the Winter Cup, I think it's good to have no supervisor like Saki before, but I don't want to burden too much work. At this point, They are useful."

"..." Talking about conspiracy early in the morning is detrimental to physical and mental health.

"Saki, don't help me make breakfast, you're tired."

"I said I'm busy." I picked up the paper package of apple green tea, stood up while supporting the table, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Akashi rubbed my head, then took my hand and walked out of the room with our bags.

We went to the lobby to gather with the team members, and I went to the side to check supplies with Terasawa Souta, the manager of the First Army, one last time.What the fuck do they think we did?Simply having breakfast together, the one who spent the night with Akashi last night was obviously Reo Mibuchi.

Today is the semi-final of the Winter Cup, Luoshan vs. Hidetoku High School where Shintaro Midorima from Generation of Miracles is located.

Akashi and the others took the first step, and I was going to hand in the documents at the referee's desk.Before entering the arena, I saw other Generations of Miracles who came to watch the game.

"Senior Takahashi, good morning." Hei Zizhe appeared suddenly as usual.

"...Good morning." And, was scared again.

Hei Zizhe also bowed to me, "I'm sorry that I haven't visited senior sister for so long, congratulations on your recovery, and," he raised his head, looking at me seriously with big blue eyes, "I'm sorry to visit you I said that kind of thing when I saw you. I always wanted to apologize to you when I saw you again."

Heizi visited me when I was still in a wheelchair.He said at the time that he hated basketball.

I smiled, "Thank you, but you don't need to apologize to me. You should do your best too." I still like basketball.If you are the protagonist, you will have dreams, passions, and sometimes it's good.I paused, glanced at his expression, and continued: "No matter what your previous feelings were, it is enough to like basketball at this moment, and there is no need to think too much about it."

"Yes, Takahashi-san. Thank you very much all the time." He bowed to me again, "I also wish you and Akashi-san a happy marriage for a hundred years."

I fuck.

──This guy is the biggest villain in "Black Basket".

There are many former students of Diguang around, including students of the same grade and seniors, all of them glanced over from the corner of their eyes.

──Suddenly I feel super ashamed.

"Che~" Aomine Daiki also came over, with Momoi Mayzuki hanging on his arm, "It turned out that Akashi caught my senior, so he likes this kind of thing. Being caught by a junior, Takahashi-senpai, you are not good enough ah."

"Hey! How can you say that!" Momoi Wuyue slapped Aomine with her cute cheeks puffed up, "Even if senpai's breasts are not as big as mine, they have grown quite well over the years! Senpai is a good woman! Although Akashi The height of my classmate..." Her eyes shifted for a while, "But for the sake of face, it matches well with senior sister!"

──Is this the rest of the value of men and women?

Without waiting for others to come over, I raised my hand first, "Goodbye." I turned around and walked away quickly.

I handed in the documents to the referee's desk, walked to the edge of the bench, Akashi waved to me, and glanced at the supervisor.

"Didn't you say to wait?" I leaned on the chair and sat down.

"You have to watch." Akashi put his elbows on his knees and crossed his fingers, "I won't give him a chance, but be careful."

"Hmm." I crossed my arms and looked at the others, "Confidence?"

"Of course, I won't lose."

"Even the green room."

"Even Shintaro. It just makes the game more interesting." He stood up. "Everyone, let's go."

"Ah!!" Hayama Kotaro showed a big smile, "Looking at what Akashi said, this match will definitely be super fun. Hey, Takahashi, don't touch this match, we don't have to fight with you here."

"Shut up," I looked up at him, "There is no difference between listening to Ah Zheng and listening to me. If you have the ability, fight yourself."

"...I won't play games that are not full of players!" Ye Shan jumped up, "I won't fight to the death!"

I raised the corners of my mouth and turned my eyes away, "Yes, come on."

The one who kicked off first was the green room.I watched their formation and kept an eye out for supervision.We all know that Akashi is just probing and playing steadily, but what is the purpose of the supervisor's dissatisfied expression.At the end of the first game, Supervisor Platinum didn't say anything and just let Akashi continue.Supervisor Platinum is actually a very cautious style, capable and experienced at the same time, and he gets along well with Akashi, but... I glanced at the spotlight in the auditorium, and the corner of my mouth twitched.

Just look at the changes in people under the spotlight.

I looked at the field again. Didn't Midorima cooperate well with his teammates?At the end of halftime, the two sides played, and the next semi-final team, Kuroko's Seirin and Kise Ryota's Umijo came out to warm up, Akashi didn't know what to say to Seirin's Kagami Taiga, and suddenly beat him Press sit down.Supervisor Platinum frowned and didn't make a sound. I looked at the referee's platform. The referees over there seemed to have talked a few words, but they didn't intend to act.

Vulcan didn't suffer any injuries, he just sat down, let alone the opposing team, so it was right to become Akashi again.Even I can't stop this game of rules, let alone Akashi.

After they came back, Shibuchi looked at me, tilted his head, and said, "I always feel that Xiaosaki is very happy today. Is it because Xiaozheng was with me this morning?"

I stood up to help Akashi relax his arms, and said, "Which day did he not accompany me?"

"...Spray!" Everyone on the bench was spraying water.Dai Qianxun wiped the corner of her mouth expressionlessly, thinking that no one could see him.

I raised the corners of my mouth and turned my gaze back, "Ah Zheng will play more happily today." Because it was his former teammates present.

"But unfortunately," Akashi wiped his sweat, "this is not the reason for Saki to be happy."

"You don't want to try to lose?" Lvjian's team cooperated very well.

"I would be curious, but it's impossible. Shintaro has changed a lot, this is a drama that Saki likes to watch."

"Super tasteless speech." Drama or something.

At the beginning of the second half, Luoshan took the lead.I spoke to the supervisor, "Supervisor Platinum, everything is going well, are you not satisfied?"

"No, of course I'm very satisfied. This team has already achieved a high degree of completion. The only regret is that I can't teach them anything."

"But you're still not satisfied."

"No, Akashi is very calm, and now he can win by going step by step like this."

"So, why are you dissatisfied?"

Supervisor Platinum looked away from the arena and looked at me, "Takahashi, what do you want to say?"

"I'm just asking."

"It's even more regrettable that this is an unhappy game." Supervisor Platinum turned his attention back to the field again, "For us Luoshan, we can't have any option other than victory, otherwise it will destroy the past. Glorious sinners, each of them is carrying a heavy burden under the spotlight, especially Akashi."

Isn't he dissatisfied that he didn't get the honor of being a supervisor?

I bent down a little, put my elbows on my apart knees, and kept my eyes on the court.Midorima actually used an alley-oop that can only be seen in the NBA. Although he is still immature, his talent is beyond doubt, "Director Platinum, do you know why no one from "Generation of Miracles" has been invited by the national team. "

"They go in like this now, and no one can teach them anything." The platinum supervisor who is also a former member of the national team said, "Young people, let's stay on the field and run. Although they will When they fall, they will be high-spirited, but when their state stabilizes and becomes an adult, this is the real most dazzling time, rather than not knowing how to restrain the light and being destroyed by the spotlight."

This was a completely unexpected answer, and I was silent for a while.I misunderstood the supervision.If I don't ask before I do something, I'm afraid I'll do it wrong.

"Supervisor Platinum," said Akashi, who had seen through the passing route of Midorima and his teammates. But I never regarded you as my teacher."

"I know, you didn't hide it until this moment. Not only to Akashi, but I have nothing to teach you. I actually recognized you as "Sakura Takahashi" from the beginning, which is what I will approve The reason why you came in as the only female manager. Your ability did not disappoint, but I never thought that you would want to change the style of the team. The games of the second and third armies have been influenced a lot by you, and the first army has not changed. On the premise of victory, I agree with your ideas." He didn't know what to think of, his eyes softened.

Later, I probably guessed that Supervisor Platinum's attitude towards me had something to do with "Sakura Takahashi", because he valued strength so much and never underestimated my opinion from the beginning.Otherwise, why should others listen to me, a high school student?

"Should I say, because it really is "Sakura Takahashi"? You have never wavered under any circumstances and completely crushed your opponent's defenses. Teiko's captain, Takahashi Sakura. Your future is very bright. of."

"You are too much." The smile on my lips became bitter, your sister, I can't stand a word of these words, the reality is that after I came to Luoshan, the world was shaken and the earth fell apart, fuck, "It took me a long time to learn a little What is support. You didn't say it at the time, but you knew that I couldn't bear any opportunities because of "Sakura Takahashi". I need to thank you. I'm too arrogant, I'm sorry. I also have to tell you, Before you said what you said just now, I had a big prejudice against the supervisor." Fuck, I am biased, but Akashi Seijuro's push is definitely indispensable.

"I do prefer talented players. Frankly speaking, I'm not very interested in people without talent. That's what you hate. I only value you because of "Sakura Takahashi". Yes It is a good thing for the first army to seriously lose a game, but I can't let them lose because of this."

"You are a supervisor, it's only natural that you want to win, and it's not that God loves the world. I'm not so naive. I'm just not interested in playing with scum."

"Do you want to know the current situation of your former supervisor, Miyoshi Lairen?"

"Don't tell me if you're not dead."

"What do you want me to do in this game?"

"Don't interfere. Akashi's strategy is better than yours. If he fails, there is nothing you can add to it. Just let him play. If you want to win or lose this year, please let him play it thoroughly." In the end, it was time to deal with this idiot.

"It's true that I failed to do something. After this time, I will be asked by the school to pack up."

"No, you underestimate yourself too much." The field has come to the last moment.Akashi is also able to handle Kamimidorima with ease, but Xiude is fighting hard. The two teams will see each other, and the victory of Luoshan depends on it.

"In the last game, will you fill in the position of the coach?"

"It's no longer needed."

When the final whistle sounded, the audience once again cheered for the victory of Luoshan High School, but the expressions of the players were only relieved, not happy.Supervisor Platinum is right, what they want is number one, even number two loses.

Supervisor Platinum helped me stand up, "Takahashi, have you ever thought about where you will go after leaving the arena?"

I hold the water bottle, "Not yet. Do you have a proposal?"

"Go and be a pyramid scheme."

──Yeah.

Supervisor Platinum said blankly: "It will definitely be successful. I no longer intend to resign, Takahashi, and I hope we can still cooperate happily in the next two years." Then he went to encourage the players, sign documents at the referee's table and so on.

"..." The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

After the review meeting, everyone went to have lunch together, and Akashi and I went to a nearby coffee shop to relax after the meal.He was playing chess on the side, and I was reading a book with my head on my head.Those so-called domineering teenagers in Luoshan were all too noisy. Scenarios such as shouting and flying plates are definitely not uncommon. It's no wonder that Akashi has always kept quiet and calm with them.

With a bang, Akashi put down the chess piece, and it seemed that the game was over.

I picked up the pen and wrote a few notes without raising my eyes, "You are so boring." Playing with myself, I forget it, he should go back and quarrel with the teenagers.

"It's not that I hate being with everyone, it's just that I need some quiet time. In this regard, I am the same as Saki. Moreover, playing against myself is the most fun. The only one who can beat me is myself."

"Go to your mother, if you want to laugh at me if you don't win, just say it."

Akashi laughed, "What are you looking at?"

I lift the cover of the book.It's about drawing.

"Saki just wants to learn how to draw, so she doesn't even eat lunch every day, to save time to practice?"

"I'm not fucking you, more time is necessary." The good girl next to me, Asakawa Nanmi, told me that my basic skills are too weak.Speaking of which, I will buy her something as a souvenir when I go back this time, and she is the one who patiently taught me from the beginning, who has just started to learn painting.Last time I won the Bear Summer Clothes Design Contest, Nanmi Asakawa smiled happier than me.

"But you can't skip meals."

"forget."

"It's an excuse, you just deliberately pretend it doesn't exist." Akashi got up and went to the counter, and then came back with a big plate of chocolate cake, "Saki, you are not full. I don't want to stand up to get another because I am lazy, you can make a sound .”

"..." I was silent for a while, then put down the book and picked up the fork.Yes, even if I don’t exercise a lot, I can still eat a whole cake. The taste is basically unlimited, as long as it is delicious.

Akashi looked at me for a while, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief, got up, sat down by the piano in the coffee shop, and played the piano.The floor-to-ceiling glass windows let in the evening light, making Akashi's slender white fingers look more elegant, and his delicate profile was as beautiful as a person in an oil painting.

But why play Chopin's <Revolutionary> in a cozy or elegant, slow-paced coffee shop anyway?Too much rhythm is simply indigestion. Fuck.

Also, why is everyone applauding enthusiastically.Akashi also has the ability to turn everyone's minds into paste.

I leaned over the table, my shoulders shaking.

"Saki." Akashi helped me up with a blank expression, and wiped my mouth with a handkerchief.

"Boom, poof, it's very good, poof, hahahaha!" I laughed until I slapped the table.Fuck me, I'm going to explode!

"You recognize this one? I remember you only have pop songs in your phone."

"I heard it once in music class before, and it's easy to recognize." I half clenched my fists and covered my mouth, and stopped laughing, "Ah Zheng, what's going on in your head?"

"No, just play as you want."

"Really?"

"It's true, what I have to say is only because of tomorrow's final. This will be our last game of the year."

I raised my eyebrows, "Do you feel nervous?" In any case, Akashi shouldn't be standing in the position of a revolutionary.

Akashi folded his handkerchief and sat back, "I'm looking forward to it. Tetsuya's performance made me look forward to it very much. I also want to see how well he and Kagami can cooperate. You saw it just now, they took Ryota's Umi It’s a very good team that often hits this level.”

"Well." Tomorrow is the last.I tilted my head and picked up the drinking straw, "Ah Zheng, Supervisor Platinum said that I am suitable for MLM, what do you think?"

"Not suitable." Akashi asserted, "Saki's eloquence is not bad, but it's not good either. That's not what convinces people. Saki can't be outstanding in persuading people to buy things. From this point of view, Saki still has the same The supervisor talked about it."

"Well. I haven't said you yet, you must have misled me."

"I said the facts, but not the whole truth."

"Fuck, you thought you were testifying in court?"

"It's just not going to court to give evidence, so I have no problem doing it. The fact is, I do it a lot in court."

"..." I bit my drinking straw and turned my face away, not wanting to see his face.

"..." He stretched out his hand.

I rolled my eyes and handed him my hand.

Akashi held my hand, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as it has been resolved. If Saki doesn't like it, then I will make it clear to you in the future. There is no problem at all, so that's fine. "

"...Are you looking dead and I'm not angry?" I twitched the corner of my mouth, "I'm just being abused by you," I swallowed the word abuse, "I'm just used to your style, so I'm a little numb, but I'm angry. I'm an idiot if I don't see through this purposeful lie, but don't think you're right."

"Just the facts."

"Sophistry your sister. I just had a full meal and I don't have the energy to argue with you."

"Okay, I see." Akashi also stretched out his other free hand to rub my head, "I'm sorry for making you angry."

"No, forget it." I rolled my eyes haggardly, "Your apology will only make my stomach hurt even more. Ah Zheng, it's okay not to tell me, but I don't like you lying to me, you can figure it out."

"No, I can say whatever you want. But Saki doesn't say anything," he smiled, "it's okay."

"Pretend, if I don't tell you, you must be secretly unhappy."

"I'll wait until you say so."

"...I feel even more creepy. Wait for your sister, you will clearly "let" me say it."

"I'll 'wait'. Saki won't wait for me?"

"If you don't want to wait, it's a ghost to sit here. I'll go back and curl up in the bed by myself. I said you, what is the big brother mode? It's obviously because you are childish." A manipulator who controls everything in the team.

"Don't Saki like the big brother type?"

"Go to hell."

The next day, the third place and final of the Winter Cup began. After Midorima's Hidetoku defeated Kise's Kaito, it was the final between Luoshan and Seirin.

"...Yes, now it's the turn of Luoshan in white!" The sideline commentator introduced the members of the two teams at Mi Gaofeng's side. When they came to the final, the audience responded with the most excited cheers in the entire competition, "Supervisor, Shirokin Eiji." Supervisor Platinum stood up and bowed slightly, "Assistant coach, Sakura Takahashi."

"Hey! It's Takahashi!"

"That person is Takahashi from Teiko!"

I also stood up quietly amidst the noise of the audience, with my back straight.Today, my name is still filled in the position of assistant coach.

"...Then the captain of Luoshan, No. [-], Akashi Seijuro!"

The shouts of the audience reached the highest point.

"Let's go." Akashi led the other four starters, Nakamine Taketani Nagakichi, Komaemine Hayama Kotaro, shooting guard Mibuchi Reo, and Omaemine Dai Chihiro, and they stepped out to salute Kuroko sincerely.

Akashi's strength is even worse than that of Teiko, can Seirin really defeat him?I want Akashi to know what it means to lose.

But I don't want him to lose.

I don't want to lose myself.

Fuck you, of course I know why everyone doesn't want to lose. I didn't do anything in Luoshan this year!My heart is broken, you little sluts, give me a fight!

──Yeah, am I getting weird?

let's go.

Facing Seirin, who is on the dark horse lineup, and the school where the protagonist is, so far, the only possibility for Akashi to lose.

The author has something to say:
