[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"Gaoqiao and Ichikawa!" The coach of the first army shouted, "You two do another thirty push-ups, and those who finish slowly do ten more push-ups!"

"Yes." I tilted my head and wiped the sweat that had slipped down to my chin with my sleeve.

"Yes!" Ichikawa gasped at me.

Ichikawa and I were obviously competing in the team, and we were indeed competing fiercely with each other under the premise of not hurting our bodies.

"Thirty." As soon as I finished my palm press, I rolled over and fell to the floor.

"29, [-]." Ichikawa also fell down, covering his face on the floor, "Is there any mistake, lose one!"

I sat up and rubbed her head, and tidied up the bun at the back of her head, "Do it."

"You monster, don't you need to study and do the work of the student union?" Ichikawa gritted his teeth and propped up his arms again, "Forget it! I'm not someone who expects my opponent not to improve! 31..."

I sat casually with my legs spread out, combing back my long bangs.With Ichikawa around, I dare not be lazy even if I want to.As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Kaori Matsumoto, who had become the team leader. With a straight face and folded arms, she looked at Ichikawa and then at me, and nodded with satisfaction.

──Do you think the mode of our mutual attack is very good?

When school was over, I was wearing a loose tie and carrying a schoolbag, and I drifted to the three-service gymnasium in an extremely decadent manner.At this time, Ichikawa Asahi had already been revived, and he was playing basketball with other members of the Second Army and the Third Army.I spread out on the sidelines, thinking, let me wait for the old man to retreat.I took out my book and studied by myself on the sidelines, and I will not play today.

"Takahashi," Satomi Takai, who was still in the Second Army, ran over, "Please take a look at this place for me, I can't do it." She had a national document in her hand, and she didn't change into her sports uniform.

──The gymnasium has suddenly become an after-school social center.

Fortunately, Ms. Matsumoto seldom comes, otherwise I will definitely be scolded, because the key is in my hand.

"That..." The girl next to her in the same class, Yuka Ota, pushed the door open, "Is Takahashi there? Ahh, Takahashi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you have to save me~ There are so many Chinese characters in this homework! What the hell is that?" , I don't know~"

"Right," Satomi Takai immediately hugged the book to his chest, his eyes glowing, "Your class is also doing this, right? This classmate," Satomi Takai clenched his fists, "Let's fight against Chinese characters and fight for katakana. Make a bloody way!"

"Yeah?" Ota Yuka blinked her big eyes and tilted her head. "Although I don't quite understand what you mean," she also waved her small fist, "but let's work hard together. Ramen-kun!"

"I don't really understand Ramen-kun..." Satomi Takai was stunned, then raised her head, "But he seems to be a very good person! Come on, let's go to Ramen-kun in the sunset!"

"Ooooooooooooo~"

I silently turned my face away.

──They finally met.

Well, the Chinese characters in Japan are not exactly the same as those in China. I used to mess around for a while, but once I get familiar with it, it will be fine.I turned my pen and told them the content of this lesson, and after teaching them their homework, I stood up and waved to Ichikawa Asahi, threw the key to her, and told her to lock the door and leave first.I shrugged my tired shoulders, untied the tangled earphone cable once and for all, sat on the railing when I walked to the bus stop, stuffed the earphones into my ears, threw a candy into my mouth, and hugged Waiting for the bus with my schoolbag.

"..." Someone was patting me on the shoulder.

I turned my face blankly, staring at the person who came, like a zombie.Hongcun's face twitched.He reached out to take off my earphones and took my schoolbag.

"What are you doing? What the hell are you looking like?" Hongcun leaned against the railing angrily and stood beside me.

I looked sideways at him.Haven't run into him at the bus stop for a long time.

"Tie," a vein popped out of Hongcun's forehead, "I said, at least you should pay more attention. Girls don't just walk out dressed like this. At least tie their ties."

"……Um."

"What's the reaction, cut. Bring it."

I move my neck over.

"..." Hongcun stretched out his hands and scratched my hair, then pulled out my tie bow with two fingers, tied it on himself, and then threw it on my head, turning away his face, "Tighten yourself .”

──I seem to have done something weird to Nijimura.

I rolled my eyes and tightened my tie, but because I didn't use my hands to hold on to the railing, my feet were weak and I was about to fall. Hongcun hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hug me.Both my body and his body are full of post-exercise heat.

──I must have done something weird.

I jumped to the ground and stood up, stepped back, waved my hands, "Sorry," and then slapped my face to wake myself up, "I'm a little dizzy."

"...Cut!" He turned his face away, and after a while, he turned his face back with pouted lips and squinted at me, "Is the First Army working so hard?"

"Well, it's fine."

"You supervise, are you okay?"

"His tactics are really good," I turned my face away and covered my mouth with half-clenched fists, and yawned, "but you can't listen to him everything. He has a problem."

"Be careful yourself," Hongcun said, "but don't mess things up, hey, you have to mature for me occasionally."

"I let you finish everything." I looked at him amusedly, "Are you suggesting that I be an adult or a child?"

"Time sharing, idiot." When my bus arrived, Hongcun took my wrist to get on the bus, "Let's go." Seeing me looking at him suspiciously, Hongcun continued: "Be honest with me at this time." , I don’t want you to faint at any station. I’ll take you back.”

"It's not to this extent." I leaned my head on the car window, squinting at Hongcun who was sitting next to me, "You don't know me well, why are you talking to me?" dog bite."

"Huh?" Hong Cunban turned around, "Generally speaking, do you talk like this? Please don't wait for me to repay you. Hey, it's super—bad."

"The improvement in your grades is due to your efforts, but it also has my credit. I will not deny it."

Hongcun reached out and rubbed my head, "I know, you are too energetic. I didn't say thank you, but men don't say thank you with their mouths."

──What do you want me to say next?

"Hello, Takahashi."

"What?" I said with half-closed eyes.He suddenly took the initiative to talk to me today, he must have something to say.

"Are you hungry?"

"what?"

"I invite you to eat ramen."

I glanced at him.Hongcun can't speak? "You are very mother-in-law."

"Aha? Hey, wait a minute, I can't just leave this sentence alone, explain to me how you came to this conclusion, hey."

I half clenched my fist and put it to my mouth, then yawned again, "Okay, please."

"……what."

We got off at a stop halfway, Hongcun took me to one of the ramen shops, I glanced at the price tag outside the shop, and pulled him away with my backhand.

"It's me who invited, I choose the place."

"Don't underestimate people, do you think I'm the kind of boy who says I want to invite girls to dinner, but asks shy girls to choose some cheap shops? It's okay, you are very verbose, I can afford it. "

"Using the pocket money given by my parents to treat girls to dinner, why should I think highly of you?"

"...It's too vicious," Hongcun scratched his head, "I said you, shut up." Hongcun waved the hand holding the two of us's schoolbags, and took my wrist with the other hand and continued to the store Rizou, "At least I saved more than half a month's pocket money to invite, so it's sincere, right? This store is very good, you should like it. Ota said you like ramen."

"So, the conclusion is that you can't afford it." What is he doing?Also, does he really think that talking about food with Ota Yuka can give answers other than ramen?

"Okay, don't worry about me, old woman?"

When we came out after eating, Hongcun still didn't say anything.He was still wearing his untidy and wrinkled school uniform, with one hand holding our schoolbag over his shoulder, and the other hand took my wrist and walked in front of me, wanting to send me to the bus stop.I didn't make a sound, and I'll wait until he sorts it out by himself.

"Sakura."

I looked up at the back of his dark head.

"Am I really an idiot?"

I laughed, but tried not to laugh out loud, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, but I'm not the smartest group either."

Hongcun laughed first, "I knew you would say that."

──So you came here by yourself to ridicule me?

"Yeah, I know I'm not smart," Hongcun continued with his back turned to me, "I always like to get lost. But it's okay, after taking a long detour, I can see more scenery than other people, so it's not bad. " I listened quietly, his deep voice sounded in the night, "Although there are things I regret. Hey, Sakura, I'm sorry." He stopped, turned around and looked at him seriously. I'm sorry."

Sure enough, he still cares about getting me involved.I raised the corner of my mouth and said, "Think about it too much. It's very simple, if you don't deserve me to do this, I will leave by myself. I never said that I am a good person."

"...Hey, wait, it's too direct, won't you be embarrassed?"

"This is not the time to be tactful." I exhaled, shook off his hand, reached out to roll up his sleeve, and saw a large new bruise and scar, presumably there were many on my body, "Go fight again gone?"

"Not this time, it was my dad who hit me."

Carry on.

"My dad said those words just now." He pouted, "Hey, Takahashi."

"what?"

"Sorry, I pretended not to hear you at that time."

"No, I'm not the one who can say these things, it's normal for you not to listen." Dad?I sat sideways on the bench by the side of the road, holding my head, "I also had a ridiculous time before, referred to as the second disease." Before crossing.

"Huh? Are you?" Hongcun sat next to me, "That's right, you look like you are always a child."

"... Is there such a thing?"

"Super-obvious."

"Sorry." I frowned.I have learned a lot from them.I smiled and lowered my head, and said: "In short, I was taught by my parents, and suddenly one day I felt that I couldn't go on like this, and then, that's it. It's true that I like reading, and it's not just for responsibility. The only dissatisfaction is with the education system. Playing basketball is..."

Hongcun connected it for me, "I really like it."

After all, I laughed out loud, "No, I never thought that basketball would be able to play for the rest of my life. One day I will gradually have no time to touch basketball because of exams, work, and family. But now," I looked at myself right hand, "It's okay."

"...The one who is abnormal is you." Hongcun slapped me on the back of the head, "It's just an extracurricular activity, who would put it in the first place? Damn you? What are you trying to do? Of course, not absolutely If you want to be victorious, you won’t be able to enter the Diguang Basketball Club, but you can clearly understand the seriousness of the matter by scoring yourself. It’s silly to be tortured by the first army.”

...Why am I being taught a lesson instead? "I thought you guys were despising my lack of dedication, and I was reflecting on myself. Wait, wait," I held the back of my beaten head, straightened up and looked at Hongcun, "Your painting style is wrong. You are not passionate Boys, should you despise all those who don’t concentrate on basketball?” Hongcun is the most hard-working basketball player I have ever seen, and the seriousness even makes me feel respected.

"Aha? What are you talking about?" Hongcun stretched out his hand and flicked the center of my eyebrows, "To be honest, there are players on the team who play basketball because they are handsome and can attract girls. But they played well and worked hard, so the rest is none of my business, right? What are you thinking, it’s so simple.”

"..." I was silent for a moment, then covered my mouth, patted Hongcun's arm, and laughed out loud.

Even though this is the hot-blooded Two-dimensional "Heizi's Basketball", I'm still starting to like it here.Is it real, or, this is a very different Two-dimensional.

Anyway, it is the time and space where I am.

When does improving one's own shortcomings turn into self-doubt?

In the class, the student union, the basketball club, as well as friends, classmates, family members, and myself, I have my own pace.Not trying hard enough, trying harder, what the hell am I thinking?It's only natural that there are things more important than basketball.This is the main reason why I and the supervisor are not in the same game. He only has the basketball team in his eyes, and we are just discarded pawns; and I don't want to be a discarded chess piece, and I also want to stick to it.

"Hiss! Pain, pain, it really hurts this time. Hey, ah, Takahashi, what are you doing?"

"Sorry," I withdrew my hand, straightened up and looked at him, and said with a smile, "Hongcun, thank you."

"..." Hongcun shrank and covered his arms, pouted high, "I don't know what you're talking about, but you're welcome."

"Then do you still want to know me?" I took back my schoolbag, stood up, and looked down at him, "No, I won't care about you anymore. I'm very busy, and my time is also time .”

"Excessive." He also stood up, and reached out to take my schoolbag again, "Got it," rubbing my head again, "I won't do this again, sorry. It may take a little time, but don't worry , I will never implicate you again."

I remembered the attitude of the teacher at the level, and said with a smile: "Maybe I got you in trouble."

"That's right, even."

I laughed again, looked into his eyes and said, "Even."

The middle school leagues in spring and summer are the largest competitions in the middle school circle, and there will also be some school-to-school practice matches or regional friendship competitions on weekdays.In one of the finals of the friendship competition during the winter vacation, Ichikawa Asahi and I were assigned as the starters, serving as the point guard and the small forward respectively. Three second-year seniors served as the other three starters. Ichikawa Asahi is the same as Xiaomaefeng, this time I will sit on the bench first.

This is obviously a competition between Ichikawa Asahi and I. We plan to decide on a new vice-captain before the new students enter the school next year.In the first half of the game, Ichikawa made a major mistake that even affected her performance in the second half.

"Ichikawa," before the start of the fourth game, I looked at her hair bun that was more strictly combed than usual, and put one hand on her shoulder, and said, "Are you nervous?"

"Fuck," Ichikawa Asahi's eyes turned slightly red, "Who wants to lose to a guy like you?"

I shrugged. "I think I'm fine."

"I...Fuck!"

"I think you're fine too." I held out my other hand to her, "Anyway, we'll be teammates for the next two years, this one, and the next one, I won't want you if you're like this of."

"Bastard!" Ichikawa Asahi slapped my hand, stood up suddenly, and shook off my hand on her shoulder, "I haven't lost yet! Who do you think you are talking to? I yes……"

I, Fuya, stood up, raised my eyebrows, and said with my hips akimbo: "I am Takahashi Sakura from Teiko."

Ichikawa glanced at me, "I am Ichikawa Asahi from Teiko!"

"Assemble!" Captain Kaori Matsumoto stood in front of the bench, folded his arms and said with a straight face, "What is the goal?"

The remaining eleven candidates on our bench responded: "National Champion."

"I can't hear it!" Kaori Matsumoto's face darkened, "What is the target?"

"National Champion!"

"Who is the winner?"

"Diguang!"

After the game, supervisor Miyoshi Yorito called Ichikawa Asahi to meet him.I was worried, so I followed secretly, and Captain Matsumoto followed.We listened to the supervisor insulting Ichikawa with unbearable words outside the door, and wanted to beat him.I pushed the door open with a bang, Captain Matsumoto couldn't pull it back, so I went straight in and grabbed the supervisor's hand that was about to wave.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" I stare at him.

Supervisor Miyoshi slammed my hand away, but smiled with a stern face, "It's you, Takahashi."

"Hold back the nonsense and disgusting words. I'm asking what you're doing. I'll just say it once. I will never allow this kind of situation. Be smart about it. It's for teaching, so you should teach it seriously. If you still want to use these low-level methods, then I won't just count them as such."

The supervisor stared at me sullenly, "I understand what you mean. Sure enough, the more capable the player is, the harder it is to tame, but this is not a problem for me, as long as your talent is worthy of your arrogance. , although this seems to me to be both stupid and unnecessary, but I will tolerate it." He turned to Matsumoto Kaori, "From now on, Takahashi Sakura will be the vice-captain of the first class."

Captain Matsumoto glanced at me, "Yes!"

"I'm looking forward to your performance, Takahashi Sakura."

I pulled Ichikawa Asahi and Matsumoto Kaori and turned to leave, "Die."

"Sakura," Kaori Matsumoto frowned in the aisle, "You decided to do this?"

"It's not my decision, but in fact I must." I let go of their hands, let out a breath, and stroked all my forehead hair back, "It's impossible to let him go on like this. I have to kneel down on his own knees." To force the players in a humiliating way, I'm a fucking psychopath.

Ichikawa Asahi was a little scared just now, but now he has calmed down, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm committed to him. Sakura, I'll do it to you!"

After a long silence, Matsumoto Kaori said: "Okay, I agree. But, Sakura, listen to me, don't be too aggressive, take your time. Supervisor...he is not easy to mess with."

I glanced at Kaori Matsumoto, sighed softly, "Yeah."

At the beginning of the third semester, I became the vice captain of the women's basketball team; the election of the student union went smoothly, and I became the vice president of foreign affairs; Become the first in the class.He also got used to walking with Hongcun when going to and after school every day, and he also became the vice-captain of the men's basketball team.

When the cherry blossoms are flying again, we are promoted to the second grade.
