[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"hand."

hold high.

I frowned, "Are you fat in middle age?"

Kise Ryota almost jumped up, "Where am I! Sakura-senpai is too much!" He lowered his yellow head and muttered, "And I can still fight for at least five years, how can I be middle-aged."

I took back the soft ruler around his waist, hung it around his neck, and took a shorthand board to record the size, "You are now the middle-aged man of the national team," I looked at him with a smile, "that is, the main force. Come on Let’s go.” 24 years old is the golden age for athletes.I haven’t seen these Generations of Miracles for a long time. Ah Zheng only gets together with his old teammates once or twice a year. I won’t follow them, but I often watch their games on the Internet. The sunspots still contact more.

"Akashi!" A colleague called me, "There are not enough female team members, go over there!"

"Yes!" I responded loudly, picked up the measuring tool and left.

Kenji Sato was invited to help the national team's men's and women's basketball teams design uniforms for the US friendly match. I'm in charge of starting, but in the rest of the time, Sato-san will also give me the opportunity to help with the design.

"Sakura!" Asahi Ichikawa, who is also a member of the national team, called out to me, "Hey, I don't want any weird colors."

I amusingly fixed the loose bun on the back of her head, nodded and greeted other women's basketball members I had met before, and said, "What?"

"My team is on," Ichikawa Asahi said with a look of grief and indignation, "fucking fluorescent fans!" In addition to the national team, Ichikawa is a player in the Japan Women's Basketball League. He has joined professional teams and played games in private teams Uniforms...the colors may not be very particular.

──Or maybe it's too particular.

I was silent for a while, "Actually, fluorescent colors are popular recently." Hey, he is indeed a sporty person, and Ichikawa's waist is still the same 23 inches as when he was in high school.

──Killed Kasamatsu Yukio.

"Ah, then what do you mean by the fluorescent colored boxers!" I pushed Ichikawa to measure the length of his legs, "Sakura, do fashion designers always have grass in their heads! This kind of What can a person who has no brains buy it do? Hey!"

──People in Haichang are still exposed to the news even after graduation.

──And you're so embarrassed to talk about others.

After measuring everything, I turned the ballpoint pen upside down and tapped the tip on the shorthand board. 36, 23, 36, [-] legs long, [-] tall.I always knew that Ichikawa was a beautiful woman, but I didn't expect her figure to be almost perfectly proportioned.And—I glanced at her, and Ichikawa shuddered—her face is small, and her whole body is close to the proportion of eight heads.

──Let’s kill Yukio Kasamatsu.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from colleagues outside.I turned my head to look, and turned my head back calmly.It turned out that a female colleague measured Aomine Daiki.

──Knowing people, knowing the face, but not knowing the heart.

I calmly continued with my work.After the people in the design office measured the statures of all the team members, they handed them over to me for sorting.In the evening, I clipped my hair and stayed in the design studio temporarily rented by Sato Kaneji to fight the night.I am not the main designer, and it is impossible for them to fully adopt my design, but there is still a chance that some of my ideas will be adopted.Now that the opportunity is there, it depends on whether I have the ability to seize it.

I have been busy all day today, and during this period of time, I just took orders from the national team. Everyone got off work first, and there was no one in the office. The surroundings were quiet and it was dark. Only my seat had a light on it.

"I can't tell you have such a color." Kaneji Sato popped up suddenly, biting the tuna bread with one hand, and took my design drawing from the back with the other, "Turn the outer corners of the trousers upwards, especially emphasizing the long legs, you are very Like girls' long legs?" He glanced at me, "Well, this is the only outstanding advantage on your body. The face is okay, the chest is a little smaller, the waist is a little thicker, and the hips are a little wider , but with the length of the legs, the head-to-body ratio is barely more than seven. Are you fat in middle age? Little wife, your husband didn't complain?"

"..." I silently stabbed Kaneji Sato on the waist with the unopened ballpoint pen, "Shut up, if you are not my teacher, and it is also a matter of professional direction, I will open the cover and stab you to death." Sexual harassment? Hello.I rolled my eyes and worked hard.

Kaneji Sato covered his back pain until he bared his teeth, "Hiss... you bastard! Thanks to my kindness!" He put a bag of takeaway on my table, "Eat it, anyway, you have such a figure. Save it, forget it if you eat it to death!"

──Why do you use the proportions of the model to measure me.

"Thank you." I picked up the bag, took out the blueberry cheesecake in the bag, sat in the farthest corner from Sato Kaneji, and ate it expressionlessly.Since leaving Azheng, I can't eat well or sleep well.

──This is a grueling part-time job with low wages.

"..." Sato Kaneji twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mao, I just said something to you, are you angry? Is it really a woman?" He touched the back of his head uncomfortably, "I'm just telling the truth, what we do , looking at people is just a bunch of proportions, so I can't even find a wife!"

──Are you sure that's why you can't find a wife?

"No. There are only two of us in the office now, the lights are not fully turned on, and we are not talking about business, but we are still talking about this kind of topic. How can I sit close to you. Are you an idiot?"

"...Do you want to be so defensive! Besides, is it okay to say it? Damn it!" Kaneji Sato was a little crazy. "Besides, aren't you going to get a divorce?" He blurted out consciously, paused, and turned his face away, "You idiot, you won't find me if you can't find a job? Didn't you look like a big man before? Don't feel embarrassed? Divorce is not a big deal, do you need to torment yourself, cut."

"Thanks." I smiled.He means well.

Well, to be honest, if I leave Akashi and Takahashi, even if I have the ability to find my own living expenses and tuition fees, my medical expenses will be an astronomical figure that I cannot afford; Maybe in a few years I will completely lose one foot due to negligent care. At that time, it will only greatly reduce my working ability.

I did have a little heartache.

The devil doesn't know the limits of self-will. Fuck.

I worked under his tutelage for a while, and finished my schoolwork, and it was dawn.Sato Kaneji waved his hand and invited me to a nearby stall for breakfast.I poured the noodles into my mouth in one gulp, and saw Kenji Sato twitching the corner of his mouth.

"... Wow! Beautiful ANKLEBREAK!" The host's voice sounded on the TV in the store. I looked up and saw that it was showing an earlier NBA game.In that game, Kise Ryota also played as a professional player, "The timing was really accurate, no one was defending for a while, and then Kise's layup was really easy. Haha, the Bulls' faces Green."

"Since Kise Ryota joined the Rockets," another host also joined the voice, "These exciting scenes have increased all of a sudden. Now, Kise Ryota should be the best use of ANKLEBREAKER People! The flower arrangement just now is simply a classic textbook, absolutely comparable to ANKLEBREAKER Alan Iverson back then!"

"There are still many outstanding players in other areas. In terms of active Japanese players, there are Murasakihara Atsushi, Aomine Daiki and Kagami Taiga. But in terms of this skill, I don't think anyone can beat Kise Ryo. It's too left and right, and his figure is better than Allen Iverson, and his plasticity is even more... Ah, he scored again! It was a three-pointer assisted by Ryota Kise from the outside! It's so beautiful, his future It's really limitless!"

The sound of the TV kept ringing, and I looked at it with interest while holding my head in my mouth.Kise's skills are of course much better than in high school, but his performance this time was not the best. He killed the opponent before he even entered the ZONE. Or it's because the mentality is not correct, and they are used to holding back their big moves, and they refuse to enter the ZONE easily when playing in the NBA.They were in their heyday, and it was not a problem to enter the zone and play the whole game, but in this match, Kise didn't use the zone for a second, which is no longer the level of conserving energy.And with this level of ANKLEBREAK, A Zheng in college can do it, and he is even more beautiful than Kise. Ryota Kise obviously has no intention of fighting in this game.These dead boys are geniuses after all, and these rotten problems can't be changed no matter what.

Well, sooner or later it will be killed, a little problem, just let the world love it, aha.

"Speaking of this year's middle school league," the host changed the tone, "As for the men's basketball team, Teiko High School won the title again this year, but for the women's basketball team, it was unexpected. The Sakura Academy in Aichi County won [-]-[-] After scoring a lot, the Fengdiguang women's basketball team won the championship."

"It's quite surprising. Speaking of Teiko Middle School, Ryota Huang Lai, Asahi Ichikawa..."

I squinted my eyes and sucked the carton flat in one breath.Two hundred to zero?There is no mistake.

"I didn't even know you played before." Sato Kaneji, who was afraid of being hot and ate slowly, finally finished his noodles and said while drinking Coke, "I heard from people from the national team. I thought it was because of you My husband is so familiar with sports."

"It's not entirely wrong to say that." I raised my hand again and asked for a plate of fried tofu. Seeing Sato Kaneji twitching his mouth again, I shrugged. I'm the manager of Seijuro's team, if it wasn't for him, I should have never touched basketball." Three years in high school gave me a deeper understanding of basketball tactics and various off-court knowledge.I smiled, "It wasn't him, I probably wouldn't pick up basketball again."

"You two have such an old-fashioned relationship, don't let me guess. Your young master is definitely the captain of the basketball team, right? Is it true that true love only exists on campus?" Sato Kaneji snorted softly, "...yours foot?"

Damn, who is the manager who likes the captain, obviously he is just a junior of the student union, fuck it. "I was injured when I was in the third year of junior high school. I can't find the culprit until now. It must be someone from the opponent's school."

"Not innate?" Kaneji Sato's eyes widened in surprise, "After going to the national team, I thought you were the heroine of a serial drama that exploded in sports when you were a child, got sick when you grew up, and then continued to strive for self-improvement!"

"Go to hell." I said angrily, "I was born or injured, what's the difference?"

"The last one is obviously because you are hated by others..." Sato Kanesi paused, and vigorously tapped the edge of the table with his chopsticks, "Hey! It's someone else's fault! I definitely don't mean to help those people by saying this!" The chopsticks poked my cheek, "It's okay, I can't fit a girl in my design studio."

"How many times have I told you," I turned my head away with a wooden face, "I am a wife, please pay attention to me."

"...You are annoying enough, hey, I don't like your type! I want E!"

"No taste. Your behavior is too casual."

"You guys have the nerve to talk about me! Who is sleeping on the sofa in the office like a dead pig! The world is either male or female, you don't have to worry about it!"

"First, you are a person who discriminates against the third gender; second, you are not qualified to discuss with me how to maintain a marriage. If I really care about it, I won't go out for dinner with you, but the sign of principle still needs to be hung. "

"You almost have your husband's name engraved on your forehead, dog tag!" Kaneji Sato, who is 37 years old but has no marriage partner and wants to get married, turned blue, "You are getting worse and worse. !!" After a while, Sato Kaneji talked about him: "My first love girlfriend and you really have the same personality, well, you are much worse, cut, she is E anyway."

"..." I looked at him silently.

"...Wang Mao!"

"You're a bit like him too." I laughed.What ah, I'm like Mr. Sato's first love, this is what God unfolds.

"he?"

"The person I liked in middle school, he went to the United States after graduation, and there was no result."

"...Hey, didn't you say you got hurt in middle school? He left at that time? Did this man get any worse?"

It turned out that Mr. Sato was quite naive. "He is not such a person. There is something at home."

"..." Sato Kaneji fell silent.

I didn't ask him, I just poured him a cup of coffee.

After a long time, he said, "I broke up with Kyoko in order to study design in Paris." He suddenly covered his face and laughed, "When I come back five years later, she is already married." The laughter was full of bitterness, " When she talks about me, will she not blame me like you? She will scold me, but she doesn't blame me at all. "

"Whether she blames her or not, you should be a rotten person first. You have no right to care about that lady's thoughts and feelings. It is not a shame to work hard for your dreams. If you decide, you will live. Occasionally, you will spend the night with the students When having breakfast in the early morning after work, talking about her, it’s worth a wry smile. Thinking too much is an insult to her, bad guy.” I drank another cup of soy milk, “Don’t you always do this? "Recalling the past, but still marching towards the dream without hesitation, becoming a well-known fashion designer today.

Like the married lady.

In fact, everyone is very cold.

This is why you can love yourself well and love the person you really love.

"...I should still get married."

"You'd better think about it first, if you know the reason for your marriage, what will the future teacher's wife think."

When walking back to the office, Sato Kaneji looked away awkwardly, "Ah! I talked so much nonsense with you."

"It's just because I'm someone who doesn't matter." I said with a smile, "I'm not the person who lives with you, but works with you. Some things are easy to say. Why do you think it's an office affair?" I was walking slowly on the bustling street every day, and I often forgot to slow down, and Sato Kaneji, who was walking too fast, would stop and wait for me again and again, "Not everyone remembers who is together People who live, are worn out by reality together, and see each other's ugliness together."

Ah Zheng and I always have to talk once.

I want to love myself, and I want to love him more.

That night, I went back to school to attend classes, hand in my homework, and went back to Sato's office to explain the good things, and then gave Watanabe Raku a hand. I went back to the hotel exhausted, lying on the bed in large characters.There is a basket at my feet, which was delivered by the hotel room service. It is full of things I like to eat, as well as stomach medicine, refreshing ginseng tea, and clothes for changing seasons.

And a bank passbook of 100 million yen.He was afraid that I would not want to use a credit card so that people would not see my last name, so he simply used cash.

During the three months after the quarrel, Ah Zheng didn't dare to appear in front of me. He felt that I was a little angry before he started to send me things.

I picked up my phone and emailed Ah Zheng.

"Shall we meet?"

After a few seconds, the email came back: "You wait for me for 15 minutes."

"..." Ah Zheng must be typing very fast.I chuckled.I knew a long time ago that Ah Zheng had the habit of not turning off his mobile phone, because he was afraid that I might not be able to find him.

He always thinks that I have ten disasters and nine disasters every day.

I asked him to meet at a side seat in the hotel bar. The environment was quiet and quiet for people to chat.I was drinking orange juice, with a straw in my mouth, and Ah Zheng, who was still wearing a business suit, appeared in front of me soon.

"It's cold." Before Ah Zheng took off his suit jacket, he frowned and touched my cup with the back of his hand.

"...did you drink hot orange juice?"

──Next time I will order a hot cup for you to taste.

I was forced to put on hot water.Ah Zheng asked a lot of questions. He carefully interrogated me about my work, studies, and daily life. I almost couldn't help but want to run away. stopped and looked at me.

"Saki, before you speak, I must make it clear to you. I will not accept a divorce, even if it is to the point of forcing you."

"..." Well, "How did you know that I wanted to divorce you?" I made up my mind with great difficulty, but he saw through it the moment we met.

"...Saki."

"what?"

"What I said in advance is that I don't want to hear the meaning of this sentence from your mouth. In the end, do you still have to give this reaction?" Azheng said blankly, "Saki's a tendon, frankly speaking, I I think it's pretty annoying sometimes. I don't mean to say that, but it's really getting to the point where it's stupid."

"It's none of my business! And if you don't let me say it, you just don't let me say it? Hey, what robber logic."

"I just found out that it would be better for Saki if I was a bit of a bandit."

──You really admit that you are a robber!

I couldn't catch my breath, "Selfish!"

"Love is selfish. It's the same for everyone, and it should be. Saki, from my point of view, you are also quite selfish." Oops, Ah Zheng put on a face to tell you the reason and the facts His posture clearly indicated that he wanted to have a long talk with me, and the level of difficulty entered the ZONE realm.

"I'm selfish? I also want you to feel better. Hey, didn't you say that accommodating me is very tiring. I don't want to force you anymore." Well, it's okay to say I'm selfish, because when Ah Zheng is unhappy because of me, I am even more unhappy, I want to make him happy, but the ultimate goal is for myself.

I don't want to hear Ah Zheng say that he feels tired because of me.

It felt like the heart was shot by a machine gun.

"So, why don't you consider accommodating me instead?"

"That's the problem. Ah Zheng, I don't want to change my principles, and I don't want you to change yourself, so that none of us will be happy, and because of this, you who have been changing yourself will say that you are tired. We were originally No one should change. Since you can’t be as frank as you expected, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

"I'm talking about accommodating, not changing. Saki, can you not accept any accommodating based on mutual feelings? Even if the object is me?"

"You're doing it again!" I rolled my eyes angrily, "If you dare to ask this again, next time I'll answer you no, fuck you!"

"You love me."

"...You just want me to scold you for being shameless, right? Hey, you really said it without changing your face."

"Because of whom I have become so miserable, I need to ask my wife not to leave."

I was stunned, then let out a breath, and put my eyes on the water glass in front of me, "Forget it, I can't tell you. I'm not here to argue with you. No matter how you explain it, the facts are the facts. Ah Zheng, we have no It is not suitable for each other." After so many years of hard work, Ah Zheng and I are obviously too strong in character.

"That's why I said, to accommodate."

"But didn't you say you were tired?"

"Saki, you are just angry, you are angry with my words. I am not going to explain more, I admit, I am tired, but I hope you understand that even if I am not ready, I will not escape , I will try to do it, because I love you. Sakura, do you really understand? I just ask you, I ask you to stay, will you refuse?"

"..." I was discouraged, and turned my face away, "Yes, I will not refuse. You get out." I threw the passbook I brought in front of Ah Zheng.I can't apply for divorce alone regardless of Ah Zheng's ideas. "You are like this every time. You are so cunning that you are going to die. You can eat me." You poke my heart again and again, and sooner or later you will be pierced to death!

"Because that's what this is about."

"I'll say it again," I turned my face back and looked into Ah Zheng's eyes, "I think divorce is a better choice. It doesn't mean that we will be strangers after that, as long as there is space between us, we can get along Well done, we can totally…”

"It's impossible for us to be friends after breaking up." Ah Zheng interrupted me, "If we break up, the only way left is to disappear in each other's world forever. Saki, be sober, no, maybe, you should Understand that there is no room for other people around us."

"You haven't even tried." Why should I encourage my husband to find other women.I covered my face, "No, pretend I didn't say it."

"Can you watch me try it? Saki, I won't allow you to try it. Similarly, you can't do it. Even if you do, Saki, will you be happy? The reason you want to divorce me is We weren't happy, but we're still unhappy after the divorce, and I can't see the slightest reason to do it."

"That's why we said that our problem is inappropriate. Besides," I paused, "No one can say that they won't fall in love with someone else. Ah Zheng, are you sure it's not just because of your attachment?"

"So, I also said that what we have to do is to accommodate more. Besides, I don't think it's wrong to be persistent. You can call it persistence. Saki, are you trying to say that you can't hold on any longer? ?”

"What I want to ask is you, can you still stick to me? Every day when you go home, you have to put on a gentle face that is fine. Who are you lying to when you are irritated at work?"

"You can't understand why I have to persist even like this!"

"Can't you understand why I don't want you to persist like this! I can give up my job and stay at home waiting for you, and I can do whatever you want me to do," I discovered for the first time that I could actually agree to do it To this extent, "However, when I found out that I can't help you no matter what I do, what do you think of me? Change? Even if I become the most qualified wife, you will just pretend to me when you get home. It's okay. You won't feel happy with me who lost yourself, and I won't be happy with me who forced myself to give up these things! You feel tired when you force yourself to accommodate me, and I'm even more tired when you watch you do this! The fact is that neither party You should give up on yourself!"

We all fell silent.

what am i talking about.If I had to give up on myself, then what would I become? Isn’t it too ridiculous to persist and work hard all night for so many years.I took another breath and said in a slow voice, "Ah Zheng, we are really not suitable, and we should stop forcing each other."

"I don't agree."

"Are you still learning to admit failure?" I covered my face wearily.So far, we can only say that our marriage was a failure.

Ah Zheng suddenly raised his voice, "Is it so difficult to understand if I can't learn to admit that we are failures!"

We fell silent again.

Ah Zheng stood up and stretched his hand over the table. I stepped back reflexively. Ah Zheng's face darkened, and his hand froze in mid-air for a moment. He still stretched out his hand and leaned over to take out the wallet in my pocket.He deftly opened the inner grid and took out a chain with a key hanging from it.

"Saki," Ah Zheng took my hand and put the necklace on my hand, "If you still admit this promise, you should remember that we promised each other that even if we are not with each other, we will not be together." There will be someone else who can take the place. If that's the case, it doesn't make any difference whether you get divorced or not."

"Hey, there is another option, divorce and never remarry..."

"Sakura." He interrupted me again, holding my hand tightly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done anything to you."

I looked at the embarrassment on Ah Zheng's face and fell silent.

"I'm sorry." No matter how embarrassing this incident was for him, Ah Zheng still said it.

"..."

"Sorry. But I hope, you can forgive me. Or you may think this is shameless statement, but I still, hope you can forgive me. Yes, you are quite right, frankly, I am very selfish, even To force you, I have also decided from the beginning to the end that I will never let go, but I hope you understand that the purpose of this is not to make you unhappy, but, I just don't want to let go. I hope it can be done It is also true that you are happy and not forced to be with me. Of course, even if I say this, you still have the right to unilaterally decide to leave me. I understand that my gaffe this time cannot be forgiven, but I I never intended to hurt you. Saki, give me one more chance. I'm asking you."

I withdrew my hand, took my wallet and stood up, turned my face away, "Good night." I walked back to the lobby and waited for the elevator, I didn't want to see Ah Zheng's ugly appearance again.I didn't mean to embarrass him.

I understand that he doesn't want me to see his ugly mood.

His eye sockets turned red.

I messed things up again.

"You clearly said you wouldn't force me. If you like to change, you can change it. You can say everything," I gritted my teeth and cursed, "You're so cunning! Fuck you, if you knew it, you'd stab it clean." ,cut!"

The other residents who were also waiting for the lift looked at me in horror.

The author has something to say:
