[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"Sister Takahashi," a certain freshman in the ministry greeted me with a smirk, "Is your illness better?"

──to die.

"Hey, Takahashi," the man with glasses slammed the folder in front of me proudly, "I've done all for you, please thank me well, I'm not a man who would take advantage of the enemy's illness!"

──to die.

──Also, Dazhi Jincheng is really getting weirder.

"Xiaosaki," I picked up the phone that rang, and Reo Mibuchi's voice came from inside, "Remember to book tickets for me for the final match. Thank you. Yes, I heard that you are too sick to get out of bed, are you okay? Really Xiaozheng, did he take good care of you? Doesn’t his fiancée take good care of you? Poor man.”

──to die.

Ah Zheng asked me to take sick leave again.

I sat expressionlessly on the edge of the floor of the Second Army gymnasium, calmly doing what the manager does every day.A healthy menu is a must for every camper. I was thinking about tomorrow's list, and the team members trembled inexplicably.What are you shaking, do I look like someone who avenges himself?

──There are a hundred ways to vent your anger.

"I love you!" A female voice came from the corner.

I turned my head and looked, and it was a team member who was watching a TV series with his mobile phone while taking a break.I held my chin, turned the pen with my left hand, and said, "I. How could it be possible. Love. Such a retarded person. You."

"..." The team members turned around with tears streaming down their faces, "Sister Takahashi, please do me a favor, don't spoil the atmosphere of watching the series!"

cut.

"Saki." Ah Zheng pushed the door open, walked towards me, bent down and said softly, "Why are you up?"

I said blankly: "Damn it, I don't want to see you for a hundred days." I'm a big sister anyway, and I still know how many obstacles I had at the first time, or how many times it would take me to succeed. Yes, this guy is obviously a novice but he got it done in one go. One can imagine how miserable I was.

Ah Zheng's temper these days has been so good that I can't bear it. I treated him coldly, swearing at each other, and fisting him. He still smiled and said, "I bought strawberry cake and put it in the refrigerator in the student union room. Kagome Do you want to eat?"

I let out a laugh and sneered.

"Saki?"

"Don't read it when you're dead." I made a nasty gesture to chase the dog away.

"Tomorrow's first game, what do you think?" He just pretended he couldn't hear it.

"Fukuda Comprehensive Academy," I turned my face back, "I only care about Shougo Haizaki. I don't have any impression of him, but the information says that he was a member of the Teiko basketball team in your class, and he was also elected .”

"It's normal for you to have no impression of people of this level." Ah Zheng's tone was still unhurried, but the chilling taste suddenly emerged, "Haizaki was Kise's first choice before joining the team. , Later, he was not as good as Kise, and his self-esteem was hurt, so he quit the team. The year before last, he and Kise faced each other in the Winter Cup, and the result was that they lost. Don't worry, there is nothing to fear, of course, there is no room for loss. "

I looked up at him, "Is it that simple?"

"Well, if you want to say, Haizaki should hate me more than Kise who replaced him." He smiled, "I persuaded him to quit the team. People always have a hard time facing the truth."

I thought for a while, and suddenly remembered, "Is Haizaki the one-year-old who is often beaten into a pig's head because of being late and missing?" I twitched the corner of my mouth.In my mind, there is also a picture of a little boy who was beaten to the point where he was dragged by his collar by the smiling Hongcunxiu.

"Saki, I hope that no man other than my son and I will be called by your name."

"..." The corner of my mouth twitched again, "The grandson?"

Ah Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to hold me, "After the national competition, we need to try on the dresses."

I lowered my head and flipped through the file with my empty hand, "Haisaki played Komaemine, his style is very bad, and Fukuda's basketball team has been messed up by him in the past few years..."

At lunch, I went out on my own, crawled to the nearest cake shop, and ordered three pieces of strawberry shortcake.Not long after I sat down in the store, Ah Zheng popped up and carried me back to school after I finished eating.I lay on his back, paralyzed expressionlessly, with my hands hanging down limply like an orangutan, swaying back and forth as I walked, more like a zombie.

"Saki? Are you not full?"

"I just feel that I was betrayed because of this kind of thing, and I don't feel happy at all." Actually, I didn't want to get out of bed yet, and Ah Zheng was obedient to me because of guilt.

"Really?" Ah Zheng turned his head slightly, "Then, what does Saki think happiness is?"

"you?"

"Me? I think that living in the moment is already happiness."

"Here comes this seemingly humble, but actually greedy words." I rolled my eyes, "People either set their eyes on the untouchable future, or leave themselves in the past, how easy it is to live in the present To live in the present, "It hurts so much, fuck, "The first thing I do is to get rid of you first." Unknowingly, he and his memories are entangled with each other, and the future of each other weaves a beautiful scene. Inseparable.

"No, I don't think it's greed, of course, from another perspective, it's true." He tilted his head and touched my face, "In other words, I think happiness is when Saki is around. "

"...You can really say it."

"..." Ah Zheng turned his face away, his ears were blushing, "Saki?"

"You ask at this time, do you want me to answer any scenes without you. My IQ is not too low."

"Emotional intelligence is debatable."

"Huh? Why!" I put my hands around his neck, and leaned my head forward with my strength, "You are the one who complains more, hey."

Ah Zheng, who was pulled backward by me, stopped and stabilized his body, threw his hands up to stabilize my back, and then stepped forward again, and said with a wry smile, "For example?"

"People who are taller than you, colored contact lenses, like to put words together like philosophical sentences before saying them, wear a coat that is draped over the shoulders instead of wearing it well, the forehead hair will become young teeth if it is cut short, scissors... "This spit is endless.Ah Zheng listened to me quietly, and when I was out of breath, he just said the last sentence and continued, and then he calmed down and listened to me to continue talking. "...playing shogi by myself without turning on the light." Although it didn't take long for me to vomit that something was wrong, I still took this opportunity to vomit before speaking.

Seeing me stop, Ah Zheng asked, "Saki?"

How could he not know that he was letting me in on purpose, letting me get angry with bad words. "There must be many kinds of happiness," I rested my chin on Ah Zheng's shoulder, "Well, it's also one kind when I'm hugged by you."

Ah Zheng laughed.

I patted his head, "I tell you that I have low EQ."

"No, it's hard to say," Ah Zheng said softly, "That's me."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing. Saki, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you that night."

"Damn it," I turned my softened eyes back to cold for a moment, "it hurts to death bastard. You say sorry, but you definitely don't mean to be sorry, hey."

"I think that if you drag it on, Saki will only suffer more, and that's also true."

"Are you still right?"

"It's rare for Saki not to want to reason."

"Ah, you dare to quarrel with me."

"No, I don't mean anything else, please don't get me wrong."

"I know you've worked hard." After tossing and tossing all night, Ah Zheng actually tried his best to relax his movements. When it was finally done, both of them were sweating so much that they seemed to be fished out of the water, "But, now Don't lose your temper, I'm upset." I strangled his neck.

"Yes, I see."

"...too gentle."

"If you are not gentle now..." Ah Zheng smiled, but did not continue.

──There will be no meat to eat.

I was so cold that I slapped him on the shoulder hard.

Opening of the national competition──

In the first game, Luoshan vs. Futian.As soon as the two teams started, Haizaki's malice towards A Zheng was so full that it was hard to see.When they met outside the arena, Haizaki was the first to step forward to provoke and fight back.At the moment of the match, Ah Zheng didn't fight back in full view, but just pinched Haizaki's wrist and threw him away.What happened back then was not as light as Ah Zheng said.I didn't ask, I'm not interested.I pulled the straps of the bag on my shoulders, turned my head away, looked around the lively surroundings, and noticed whether there were people from the sports committee around.

The young man is so angry.

"Hmph, you're really good." After being thrown away by Ah Zheng, Huizaki chuckled, "Akashi, it's not enough to snatch the position of Captain Hongcun, you even snatched his woman, so you are good This mouth. Who is the villain, it's ridiculous that some people can't see clearly!"

I turned my eyes back with a whoosh, and looked at Haizaki who was so distorted that he couldn't see what he looked like back then.It's not for the sake of calling Hongcun the captain, I'm about to speak out based on his words.

"I don't intend to say something useless to you," Ah Zheng said with a cold expression on his face, "Haisaki, I'm not convinced. I'll see you later on the field, but I don't think my original judgment was wrong. You You can't compare to Huang Lai, I know from how ugly you are now." He turned around, and the coat draped over his shoulders picked up the wind, and he said, "Let's go." The people from Luoshan followed Ah Zheng left behind, and I was no exception.

After walking away, Ah Zheng stretched out his hand to hold me, caressing the back of my hand with his thumb, and said softly: "Scared you?"

"..." I twitched the corners of my mouth, "What misunderstanding do you have about me?" He looked much more terrifying when he hit someone kneeling in Luoshan in his first year of high school. Hey, the air pressure when he was angry with me was even lower Well, like today, even though he spoke harshly and his face was cold, he obviously wasn't really angry at Haizaki.He doesn't care about Haizaki at all.

"No, that's fine." He smiled and looked up into the gym.

Later I found out that my judgment was wrong——in the first game, Ah Zheng started the game steadily, and in the fourth game, when the victory was guaranteed, he led him out to play man-to-man, staring at Huizaki. He used the ANKLEBREAKER posture to kneel Akira down to the ground, and severely repaired Haizaki.

"Angry?" After the game, I handed the towel to Ah Zheng, and asked quite unexpectedly.

Ah Zheng wiped his sweat with a towel, took the water and drank it, looked at me several times before he said slowly: "I don't want you to be unhappy because of Haizaki's words."

"My heart is not too fragile." I froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "How did you become the captain at that time? The third-year freshmen of the men's basketball team knew that they had no resistance at all. It's not something you can do. Yes. That's Diguang, not Luoshan. Well, I'm not saying that you haven't put your heart into showing your ability to be the captain in front of Hongcun and the supervisor."

"Frankly speaking, it wasn't for my appearance, Senior Hongcun would reluctantly continue to be the captain because he couldn't find someone who could replace him."

"Why are you still struggling with this now?" I covered my forehead, "I'm not saying that he has no regrets at all, but because of you, Hongcun can rest assured that he will hand over the team he values ​​and concentrate on taking care of his father; on the other hand, you Seeking to usurp the throne is also based on legitimate strength." This has always been Ah Zheng's thinking, considering himself and then the other party, and finally succeeded, I am not surprised by his approach. "Don't worry, my judgment is seldom influenced by people other than you. Also," I raised my chin, "to say that I can be snatched away by others is to underestimate me."

"Look," he stretched out his hand to caress the side of my face, "don't you care? Saki, you remember what Haizaki said."

"So you're asking if you're scaring me? Are you trying to test my reaction?" I pushed him a bit, "Next time I'll just say it straight, I'm too lazy to use my brain. Haizaki's words involve Nijimura and you, so I'll pay attention. What's strange." I took the notes that Jincheng handed me, picked up the bag, and prepared to go back with the team members for a meeting.

"Well, I see." Ah Zheng smiled and turned to go to the locker room.

Waiting outside, I stood with my back against the wall, arms folded.

Did Ah Zheng think carefully, or did he care too much about my thoughts?Of course I am glad that he cares about me, but if it is too much, it means there is a problem between us. There is no reason for me to be happy alone, but I don’t care if I see him unhappy.I frowned.Am I not doing well enough.

"Jincheng," I called out to the man in glasses who was sitting next to him and reading a reference book, "What do you think of me treating Ah Zheng?"

"...don't make noise...huh?" Jincheng raised his head from the book and looked at me like a madman, "Why are you asking me this! If I don't answer well, I will die at any time! Who knows what Akashi is? It's time to listen to people again!"

──Is he complaining about something?

"Sorry for embarrassing you, just say what you see from your perspective. Please."

"..." Jin Cheng stretched out his middle finger and pushed his glasses, and said in a very calm tone, "You've already talked about this, why the hell can I not talk about it?"

──Hey, give me some demeanor of the third grader.

I laughed out loud, "Well, thanks."

"You, are you really going to marry Akashi?" He glanced up and down at me, "No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a wife. Girlfriends are considered reluctant."

"...Am I not doing enough?"

"You ask me how hairy I am," Jin Cheng spit over unceremoniously, "Ask yourself if you consider a man your husband. If you pass the test as a friend, you can get rid of your girlfriend. No one wants to die. Really. I don't know how you are so lucky, you are obviously heartless, but you have a boyfriend who loves you so much and runs after you." Jin Cheng clicked his tongue, waved at me in disgust, and lowered his head to read the book again.

I froze.

"...I really put him in my heart and worked hard." I whispered.The awareness to treat him as a husband is not enough, but I really love him.I don’t think that if I just come to someone, I’m willing to learn something I’m not interested in every day; I’m willing to make bento every day, just hope he is happy, and use my method to tell him that I haven’t forgotten him every day.

"What?" Jin Cheng didn't hear clearly.

"No, it's fine."

It turns out that not only is it difficult to be honest, but it is also not easy to fully convey one's heart to the other party.Between people, the hearts of two people are always separated by two layers of skin.

The national competition continues, Qingfeng is absent due to injury, and Tonghuang loses to Yangquan where Atsushi Ziyuan is located.In the second day's game, Luoshan broke through Yangquan's defense and won with a stalwart victory.Until the semi-finals, Luoshan faced Seirin High School again.

Squeak—the sneakers rubbed against the floor violently, Ah Zheng turned around neatly, stepped down and changed hands twice, then swung past the sunspot in front of him, made a layup, and scored.

"Supervisor." Amidst the cheers of the audience, I sat on the bench with my elbows resting on my knees and my chin resting on the back of my hand.

"That's what you said, right?" Director Platinum folded his arms and sat next to me, "Kuroko is watching Akashi's movements."

"I didn't expect him to be able to do it." One-on-one, without relying on the team members to use the sight to induce, Heizi has never been inferior to the sixth monster of the Miracle Generation.I stood up and raised my hand to gesture to Ah Zheng.Just watch, since you already know the opponent's intentions, there's no need to try it steadily, just go straight up, and before the sunspots can take effect, first widen the gap and use time to nullify the time-limited sunspots.

Ah Zheng gave me a look, it seems that he also has the same plan.

I sat back and watched Luoshan use the long pass to make fast breaks and grab points.Actively grab points, this is the greatest caution for Seirin.

"You are getting used to the position of coach." Supervisor Platinum said casually.I filled in the position of the coach on the appearance form today, and the platinum supervisor filled in the assistant coach.

"Just kidding, who wants to do such a hard work." I smiled, resting my chin on the back of my hand again, "Let me play for the last year, don't you still have many years?"

"I've been teaching for so many years, and I've never seen people like you and Akashi."

"Supervisor," I paused, "You said this because you want me to tell you that you don't know much?"

"...Why are you getting worse and worse?"

After the first game, when Ah Zheng came back, we also talked about Heizi's plan.

"No, nothing to be afraid of." Ah Zheng covered his head with a towel to keep warm, and glanced across the opposite bench, his eyes became sharper under the shadow of the towel, "Even if Heizi can use his new trick on me, I will It is expected that it will not last for a long time.”

I stood in front of him with my arms folded, "Are you saying that Seirin's competition is just for training Kuroko?"

"That's right, but," he took off the towel and stood up, "Neither Seirin nor Kuroko would go on stage with this kind of mentality. Kuroko, he is very obsessed with winning, and he won't be able to win until the end of the game." We will not give up our will to win. We are, Teiguang."

No one can get rid of the imprint of growth.Well, there's nothing wrong with that. "According to what you said, they want to use Heizi at a critical moment. Heizi is useless now, five against four, Luoshan has too much room. Ah Zheng, will you take it later or leave it to me?"

He looked at the expressions of the team members and nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

In the second game, I stood up and directed from the sidelines. Ah Zheng and the other players had fewer things to think about, and they became more agile.Seirin's coach, Reiko Aida, also stood up and ran back and forth on the sidelines, guiding the situation.Ah Zheng and I exchanged gestures, and the command on and off the court alternated, changing back to the rhythm at any time. Luo Shan still pressed Seirin to fight, and Aida Reiko could only manage to maintain it.

After halftime, the score increased due to the fast pace, 89 to 53, and Luoshan took the lead.

"Substitutions in the second half..." Director Platinum stood up and instructed in front of the bench, "You guys come in and save your energy. Akashi, reduce the chances of facing Kuroko in the third round. It's best to make him unable to use his moves before the end of the game. Jin Cheng, go over there and help, there will be a game tomorrow, you have to take care of yourself." He crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, "There is still a game tomorrow, it is Luoshan."

"Ah!" The team members responded loudly.

I thought for a while, then raised my hand to signal, "Supervisor, in the third round, let Ah Zheng face Heizi."

"I agree with Saki's idea." Ah Zheng tightened the cap of the water bottle, "Heizi is not a person who gives up halfway. It's better to detonate him first instead of risking him to fight back in the fourth round."

I interjected, "Prevent the Jedi's counterattack from boosting morale, and give Seirin a chance to stand up."

Seirin VS Naksan.

After that winter, it was rare to meet again.

Ah Zheng and I exchanged the same look again.

For those who have died once, the power of retaliation cannot be underestimated──I am talking about our Luoshan University.
