[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

I just came out of the studio, after thinking about it, I looked up and walked to the Chess Academy department room at the end of the corridor.On the door and window, I saw Ah Zheng inside alone, without turning on the light, just playing shogi in the sunlight outside the window.I gently opened the door.

"Saki?" He said without looking back.

"En." I closed the door behind my back, walked to his side, and looked over.

"Come here." Akashi didn't take his eyes off the chessboard, but patted the chair next to him with one hand.

I rolled my eyes and sat down.Ah Zheng stepped on the chair with his left foot propped up, his left elbow resting on it, and his tie was a little loose.As soon as I sat down, his right hand wrapped around my shoulder, his fingers ran through my hair, and then stretched up to support my neck, pressing my head against his shoulder with a little force.I leaned on his shoulder and watched him play chess with himself, Ah Zheng's fingers casually scratched my face while quietly playing chess.Surrounded by silence, only the soft sound of chess pieces being placed on the board.

"Answer." After the last move, Ah Zheng's voice sounded again.

"Saki, is Mibuchi back?"

"Well, he just sent a text message back." The time came to August, and Luoshan High School had already won the Kansai Championship. Today is the day for the summer national competition group draw. Shibuchi Lingyang went on his behalf. "The first match, against Kirisaki Daiichi High School, is the school where Hanamiya Ma, one of the "Five Uncrowned Generals" is located."

"'Five generals without a crown', right?" Ah Zheng laughed, and put the pieces back into the chess box, "I don't think he has the qualifications to be tied with Shibuchi, Hayama, and Newuya. He is indeed talented. One point is even higher than that of them, but being reflexively victimized by one's own talents, this level is not qualified for me to take it seriously."

I raised my eyes and glanced at him, "Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. If you want me to say, lunatics are scary." Huagong is really a person with a super IQ, but his attitude towards basketball is very distorted. He often hurt people, and Heizi's senior, another "uncrowned five generals" Muji Teping, was also hurt by him.

"I don't mean to underestimate the enemy by saying this, but to understand the opponent's position."

"Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness. Be careful that one day it will be your turn. But you are right. The title of "five generals without a crown" is not a reason to discourage people. People who are much more powerful than them, counting Endless." I looked at him, "The same goes for 'Generation of Miracles'."

"Didn't you say that there are no worthless men under a great name?"

"I don't deny that there will be people who try to catch fame." I straightened up, "But it's true that Huagong really has strength, so prepare well."

"Of course." He didn't refute me that there are people who are more powerful than them.

I smiled.

Ah Zheng collected the good things and put them back in the cabinet. I raised my hand to help Ah Zheng fasten his tie.He reached out and stroked the side of my face gently.

"Did you have a good lunch?"

"...you must care about my food?" I'm really not a foodie.

"Of course." Ah Zheng lowered his head and touched my forehead lightly, "As long as it's about Saki, I'd like to know." Again, that gentle expression again.

I can't bear it. Fuck.I hurriedly turned around to break away from him, but Ah Zheng grabbed my waist and struggled for a while, but he turned back and hugged me face to face again.He lowered his head and pressed it against my forehead, and I raised my head to rub his nose angrily and amusedly, then he laughed, tilted his head, and kissed him.Ah Zheng slowly deepened the kiss, and when his tongue was about to stick in, his cell phone rang suddenly.We ignored it, but the phone rang again and again persistently. I stretched out my hand around his waist, patted his back, and signaled him to answer the phone.

Ah Zheng let go of one hand, reached into his trouser pocket and took out his cell phone.I opened my eyes, and while he didn't leave my lips, he glanced across the screen, and stopped it the next moment.It finally stopped, Ah Zheng hugged me tightly again, I also closed my eyes, and continued to kiss, but when our tongues were entangled, the phone rang again.

If it's urgent, Ah Zheng will not ignore it. Who the hell is this? He rarely treats calls so badly.

I opened my eyes again, only to see that Ah Zheng simply turned off the phone, threw it on the table casually, and held my face when he turned his hand to draw my attention back.

After we parted, I rested my head on Ah Zheng's shoulder, and he took a step back, half-sit on the table behind him, with his hands along my back, kissing my face every now and then, breathing calmly.After staying almost there, he turned on the phone again.Unexpectedly, just as soon as the phone was turned on, it rang again.Ah Zheng closed one eye, sighed softly, and answered.

"Good afternoon, Kise." He said.

──It turns out that Kise Ryota is really strong.

I don't know what they are talking about, but Ah Zheng glanced at me, "...I will convey it for you, and I will leave this matter to her to decide on her own."

I raised my eyebrows, Ah Zheng touched my face with his chin, I smiled and avoided, and he laughed too.After putting away the phone, he put me on the table and sat in front of him. He hugged me from behind, wrapped one arm around my waist, and put the other hand on the back of my left hand, bending down and clasping my waist. fingers.

"Huase asked me if I could let you help him as a temporary model."

"what?"

"He said it was suggested by his manager. Have you met his manager?"

"I met you once during spring break, and you were there that time."

"Just this time?"

I thought about it, "The last time I left after being friends with Haichang, I seem to have met him before. I didn't pay attention."

"Then, do you want to take it?"

I looked up at him with a smile, "Didn't Kise ask you?"

Ah Zheng raised the hand that was holding me, and kissed the ring on my middle finger, "This is your freedom, I don't mean to interfere. Of course, I won't deny that I don't like it."

I leaned back against him, "Push off."

"You don't like it?"

"I think it's nice to be considered qualified to be a model," I laughed, "but have you seen what the models have been like in recent years? Part of it is that I don't understand why they are selected at all. If it’s this level, it’s better not to accept it. Besides, I’m past the age of liking exposure.”

"Didn't you just turn 17? If you like it, don't pay attention to what I say. It's okay to play once."

I just smiled and said nothing, just turned around, raised my head and kissed the side of his face.Ah Zheng smiled and kissed back, and after a while, we kissed together again.

When he returned to the club room, Dazhi Jincheng was sitting in front of the computer wiping his glasses.The three armies of the basketball team have been laid down, and the manager team has also been reduced from more than 20 people to ten.With fewer people, each person has to take over more types of work, and there is no time to get started slowly. The man with glasses who joined this year has to be responsible for so many tasks at once, which is also embarrassing for him.I walked over, picked up half of the folders in front of his case, and sat in front of the computer next to him to sort out the materials together.

"You borrowed my money before, and calculated the interest rate for the same period as the interest." The man with glasses slipped a check to me, and went back to work in a blink of an eye.

"Going to work?" I didn't say much, just put it away.

"The dessert house on the commercial street."

"..." Why is it a dessert house again.Under Ah Zheng's arrangement, Jincheng Dazhi has already moved into the remaining dormitory arranged by the school for the basketball team. The rent pressure has been reduced a lot, but he looks like he wants to finish his work before rushing out to work, which is not what he said.I also opened the folder and pressed the computer, "Take it easy, nothing is as important as your health, don't rush to pay me back."

"Hmph, you are jealous of my interest in finding sleepless nights and meals. You are the one who takes it easy. What are you doing? I thought it would be great to have you in Luoshan. What kind of bad grades did you get in the exam last semester? Dump you thousands of miles away. Don't think that you don't have to work hard if you marry into a wealthy family, you can obviously do better."

"I have my measure. Your interests?"

"Do you think chemical materials are cheap! Profiteers! These hateful profiteers!!"

"..." What are you doing in the school dormitory?I paused, and skipped the topic expressionlessly, "There will be a practice match for the Second Army next Monday, please go with Terasawa for me. I received a notice that I will go to the awards ceremony with Asakawa that day."

"Okay." Daichi Jincheng waved his hand, then froze, and turned his neck around a few seconds later, "Wait, you? With Nanmi Asakawa? Do you have any awards ceremony that you want to go to together? Hey, no, It's not what I thought, is it?" He stood up excitedly, as if something happened that he couldn't understand.

What is he mad about, "Do you think there is anything else in the awards ceremony that Asakawa went to?" Nanmi Asakawa is a famous young painter in Kansai and even in Japan.

"You really know how to draw!"

"Fuck your mother, get the hell out of here." My subordinate kept typing on the keyboard, "During the spring break, Asakawa and I participated in an ukiyo-e competition. We won the Merit Award, and we didn't get into the top three."

"You..." The man with glasses struggled for a long time, "Fuck fuck fuck Takahashi Sakura can draw, you go to the art club, I thought you were just looking at Asakawa's face."

"... Huh? It's true that she invited me, but I was the one who bothered her all the time, saying that I only went for Asakawa's sake, and it's over."

"...You, do you really like drawing?"

"Ah."

"...You are already 17 years old, why are you so self-willed now? Do you not hesitate to pull down your grades for painting? Are you mentally ill?" Jincheng Dazhi suddenly bent down and shook my neck vigorously, " You will regret it in the future! You idiot who wasted your life, I will kill you!"

I'm fucking crazy again!I kicked him away with my left foot, "Go to hell!" I coughed, "If you touch me again, I'll kill you!" I said angrily, "Don't say it so seriously, I'm still the top ten in the whole class!" .”

Dazhi Jincheng stretched out his middle finger and pushed his glasses, adjusted his clothes, sat back and calmed down, "Hmph, I'll let you die. You will cry if you repeat a grade or fail to pass the university entrance exam."

I raised my eyebrows.I still don't know the reason why Jincheng transferred to Luoshan and repeated the grade.We were each working, and the afternoon passed quickly.

"Sister Takahashi," a first-year manager pushed the door in, "Vice Captain Mibuchi is looking for you."

"Come." I waved my hand as a gesture, and stood up after saving the computer files.As soon as he opened the door to leave, the voice of the man with glasses came from behind.

"Takahashi, what do you want to do in the future?"

after?My resume is very flashy. Finding a job or going to school is not a problem, but my disability is what I have to pay attention to.after?I crossed my arms and leaned my back against the door, and asked, "You?" He didn't mean to ask me, the answer he wanted to know was his own.

"I applied for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last year. In order to prepare for the submission of materials, I missed more than 30 days of class, received more than [-] warning letters from the school, and finally had to repeat the grade." He covered his face and fell on the table sadly, " I also failed the exam."

So I wanted to escape from reality, so I moved to Kyoto.Absent from school for more than [-] days without being expelled from school...

──How can you make people sympathize with you?

I covered my forehead, "Isn't it normal to fail the exam?"

He raised his head abruptly, staring at me with red eyes.

"It's a super prestigious school. Normally, you only apply for the exam this year. You applied a year early, so what's the problem if you fail? Besides, you're talking about your future career and even your ideals, right? That's a ten-year delay in applying for the exam. What's the problem? Whether to change the track is a realistic question for you to think about; your current emotions are a question of attitude towards ideals. The two questions are related, but different, don't make a mistake." I turned around and raised my hand , "Let's go first, goodbye."

A week before the start of the national competition, I took the Shinkansen again to Kanagawa to bring a bouquet of flowers to Kaori Matsumoto.Not surprisingly, I met many former seniors, as well as the senior Kaede Kawamoto who had always liked Matsumoto Kaori.Most of them have been promoted to university, or come out to work.

It's too unbearable to talk about reality, but it's too far away to talk about dreams.

I leaned against the white railing of the cemetery and took a deep breath towards the blue sea.

The phone in his trouser pocket vibrated.The caller ID showed a number I didn't recognize, so I raised my eyebrows and got through.

"Takahashi-senpai!!!!!! Please help me!!!!!! There will never be a three-point style ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I silently moved the phone away. After 1 minute, I pressed the shutdown button.I have just realized that it is not Kise Ryota who is strong, but the person who answers Kise Ryota's phone call.

After I ignored him N times, until Momoi Wuyue called him to intercede, I agreed to meet him when I came to Tokyo, intending to reject him face to face.

"Senior sister!" In the restaurant, Kise Ryota was lying on the table opposite.

"Why are you so active?" I rubbed my forehead and asked the waiter for a glass of mixed fruit ice. "I don't want to see you alone during the game." If everything goes well, after the third round, it will be Luoshan. Hai Chang.

"Of course it's because senior is beautiful, cute and invincible!"

"Stop it."

"Can't you..." Kise Ryota squatted on the table, "Xiao Akashi said that to convince you, you have to tell the truth, but there is no girl who doesn't like to hear others praise her for being beautiful."

Ah Zheng will help him?I raised my eyebrows, "Let's talk." That should be where my help is really needed.

"Here," he showed me a leaflet, "I want to audition for this brand, but it stipulates that I have to participate in a combination of a man and a woman, because the organizer said that the time is tight and there is no time for me to audition. Collaborators need to cultivate a tacit understanding, so it would be better to get to know each other first. Then I can’t go alone!”

──The problem is that I don't feel that you and I have any tacit understanding at all.

"It's not that I don't want to find someone else, but I don't want to be held back even more. Sister, you are very suitable for this topic, so please help me once! Yoshida, ah, it's my manager, sister Yoshida also said very Look after you!" He put his hands together and bowed his head towards me, "Please!"

"Didn't I tell you that I have several big scars on my right foot." How do you want me to be a model?

"I've already asked, all the clothes this time are long jeans, so there won't be any problem!"

"Height?" I'm only [-], not up to the standard of a model.

"Plane shooting is not so strict. Senior sister, Takahashi sister, please!"

I bite the straw, "Purpose. Do you like modeling work?"

"I didn't do it because I like it," Kise Ryota held his head, the earring on his left ear was shining brightly, and any gesture made the girls passing by pay attention to him, "but this time the reward is super Gao, I also need to eat, and playing basketball is also very expensive."

"To be honest, I really have no feelings for frivolous men. It would be nice to tell the truth earlier." I put down the glass and folded my arms, "Okay, I promise."

"As expected of Takahashi-senpai! Handsome!...Eh? Eh! I-I'm a frivolous man?"

"Just say it casually, don't care."

"...I don't care about anything! If you want to put it this way, Akashi is the most frivolous! He makes girls cry three times as many times as I do!"

──Is it necessary to count so clearly?

I supported the table and stood up, picked up the menu card on the table and slapped him on the face, "I owe you a beating. If you say a word to Ah Zheng, I'll kick you to death." I took my wallet and put down the money for the meal, then turned and left. "goodbye."

──Ah Zheng's mouth seems really flirtatious.

Back at the hotel where I stayed in Luoshan, I went to watch training at the gymnasium that had been booked out.Tomorrow is the first round, against Kirisaki.I was sitting on a chair beside me, discussing the end strategy with Director Platinum.Kirisaki's main player this year is Makoto Hanamiya, a three-year-old with an IQ of 160, and Kentaro Nakamine, a third-year student in the team. It is conceivable that their strategy will revolve around these two people.Huagong is really a point guard, good at steals, and is used to laying out the whole court from the beginning to control the rhythm of the game.He is the same type of player as me, plus he has always acted unscrupulously. To a certain extent, he is a more difficult opponent than Haichang and Xiude.

"...Azheng and Mibuchi are the main ones," I drew a strategic line on the paper with a pen, "Don't go to Hayama and Newugu, but to..."

"You want to avoid Kirisaki's hurtful methods." Director Platinum nodded, "Hayama's shortcomings are too obvious, so he is not suitable for facing Kirisaki, but if Nebuya doesn't make it, we will give up the position of Zhongfeng. The opponent's Nakamine Seto is not easy to fool around."

Ah Zheng has the ability to keep people from getting close, but he is actually a calm sharpshooter. If he wants to distance himself from his opponent, he must use the two of them.I flipped the pen casually, "It's because the opponent's Zhongfeng is Seto, and Nebuya's IQ can't catch up." The opponent is such a bad person, and he will play around with Nebuya at any time, so it's better to replace it with various abilities Balanced team members, waiting for an opportunity to assist Ah Zheng and Shibu.

"Saki's thoughts this time tend to be negative." Azheng also sat down, I handed him a glass of warm water, he took it, took a sip, and continued: "You may be too underestimating Genwugu, and you are not serious about Ha Shan. It's not just a workout, he needs a more comprehensive growth."

"Takahashi is worried that they will be injured," Supervisor Platinum held his chin, "although I agree that this is a good opportunity to exercise, but this is only the first game. I don't even want to see a sprain. I agree with Takahashi bridge."

"Kisaki is too aggressive, not a suitable opponent for training." I put down my pen and folded my arms, "Besides, I think it's enough for Luoshan to have Azheng and Mibuchi. The safety of the players is the most important thing."

"I agree with your idea of ​​taking care of the players, but I don't agree with the method of comprehensive evasion." Ah Zheng put the cup on the table, took my pen and drew on the paper, "... at this time, Gen Wugu can be replaced .If..." He pulled another piece of paper to draw another formation, Supervisor Platinum and I leaned over to watch intently, "...Ya Shan passed by this way, it would be better. On the contrary, at this time Buchi will be more dangerous, as a capable three-pointer, he will definitely be the target of Kirisaki's pursuit. I suggest constantly changing formations and substituting players," Ah Zheng put down the pen and said with a smile, "Use it well, Kirisaki Saki would be a great partner."

"Using changes to reduce their risk of injury is feasible." I leaned back in my chair, "But you can't deny that your method is much more risky than mine."

"No, I don't deny that my idea has a higher risk than yours. The risk exists, but it is not risky." A Zheng smiled, "Isn't there you and the supervisor off the court? I believe the two Luo Shan, who can grasp the timing of his substitutions and cooperate closely on and off the court, is not something that Kirisaki can fight against. Trying to use that kind of low-level tricks against us will only be like hitting a stone with an egg."

I thought for a while, looked at Supervisor Platinum, saw him nodding, I nodded too, stretched out my index finger, and said, "The supervisor and I will decide on the replacement."

"can."

"One more question." Supervisor Platinum unbuttoned his suit jacket, leaned over to draw on the white paper, "If they can't keep up with the rapid change, do you have any other alternatives? If they can't keep up In the end, Luoshan's lineup will collapse. We have never been known for detailed team tactics."

The three of us discussed it until the evening before going to dinner with everyone.After I came back, I went to the room to take a shower, and when I came out wiping my hair, the doorbell rang.Opening the door, it was Ah Zheng who had also taken a shower.

"Good evening." I opened the door and let in.

"Good evening." When he helped me close the door, he stretched out his other hand to wrap around my waist.

Both had just showered, and both were still steaming, reddening our faces.I put my arm around Ah Zheng's neck, raised my head and kissed him.His hands were groping behind my back, rubbing my waist lightly.

"Saki," after we parted, he hugged me from behind and sat on the sofa by the window together, "I received an invitation letter from the national youth team, and Hayama also received it. Just now I talked on the phone with my former teammates, "Miraculous "Generation", everyone received it, including Heizi."

I raised my eyebrows, "Is there Shibu? Is Heizi?"

"Unexpectedly, it is also reasonable. Heizi's talent cannot be measured by general standards. I guess, the national team has not yet figured out how to use him, but they are definitely interested in him. In reality, he has become a professional player. Sexual talent, unfortunately, is not high enough, and neither is Genwugu. Relatively speaking, Ye Shan still has more room for improvement. Or to put it better: the ice room in Yangquan has not received an invitation."

Yangquan's Himuro Tatsumi is also excellent in all aspects, his proficiency in skills has reached perfection, and his attitude towards basketball is serious enough, but his talent is not comparable to that of "Generation of Miracles" and Seirin's Kagami Taiga. People who have the ability to activate ZONE really make people feel pity.

──It might be better to say that the more talented children are, the more annoying they are.

"are you going?"

"How is it possible." Ah Zheng laughed, playing with my left hand, brushing my ring finger, "I can only focus on basketball and give up other things. This doesn't apply to me. I think neither does the national team." After thinking about it, I will agree." Akashi Seijuro is the only heir of the famous Akashi, and as Yu Caosi, his path has long been determined.

"Aren't you afraid of being surpassed by your teammates?" The training of the National Youth League is very famous.

Azheng bowed his head and kissed my hair, "Don't get me wrong, what doesn't apply means that I don't think I will fall behind because I didn't enter the National Youth League. On the contrary, I think the National Youth League will only drag me down. For me, it doesn't apply."

I laughed out loud.I think he is No.1 who treats Guoqing with this tone, "again." Two.

"Saki thinks I can't do it?"

"It's pointless to talk too much." See the truth on the field.

"Well, it's meaningless to say." He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against me, then kissed my lips again.

I smiled and nestled in front of him to kiss him, turned around and stretched out my arms to hug him, and kissed along the necklace I gave him around his neck.He froze for a moment, then hugged me hard, but didn't stop.

It's a bastard who doesn't take advantage of it──I seem to hear him say that.

I smiled and buried my head in his neck, he rubbed the back of my head gently, and gently pinched my earlobe with the other hand.And, playing here again!I flinched, but instead he leaned over and kissed the side of my face, his thumb brushed against my ear, and his hot palm caressed my neck.

"Saki," Ah Zheng whispered into my ear, "After the national competition, I hope you can visit my house."

"Hmm." I took out my home's backup key from my trouser pocket and stuffed it into Ah Zheng's palm.

He took it for granted without asking.

Then Ah Zheng stuck out his tongue to lick my ears.I got angry, pushed him down on the sofa, straddled him, and lowered my head to lick his lips.Ah Zheng originally let me make trouble, but later he pressed my head and kissed back, and put his other hand on my waist and pressed me to him.Ah Zheng's body has a completely different sense of touch from mine.When he let go of me to take a breath, I turned my head to lick his neck and chin, and Ah Zheng rubbed the back of my head.

Carry on.

I froze suddenly as we hugged to catch our breath.

──I am indeed a dog.
