[SD] Logic of Wild Dogs

After winning the game against Xiangyang, the Xiangbei basketball team finally got the ticket to challenge the king Hainan.

This is destined to be a life-and-death battle. Just halfway through the first half, Akagi Takenori was injured unexpectedly.Losing the backbone of the silver-backed orangutan king, Xiangbei, which was already in a weak position, suddenly became worse.Fortunately, the two first-year freshmen rose to the challenge at this time. Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede each erupted with genius athletic ability and unpredictable offensive skills. The Xiangbei team relied on the outstanding performance of the two newcomers to catch up to the score. 49 draws——Akagi struggled to return with an injury.

In the second half, Hainan showed its housekeeping skills, the score of the two teams gradually widened, and Xiangbei fell behind.The game gradually entered a fierce moment of scrambling.

With one minute and 24 seconds counting down, Kaede Rukawa was exhausted after throwing in the last goal and retired from the field, 86 to 90, and the point difference finally narrowed to four.

In the last 30 seconds, Mitsui slanted his body and managed to break through Hainan's defense: "Sakuragi! Akagi! I'll leave it to you!" The ball was almost thrown in the direction of the backboard!

However, Sakuragi's technical skills cannot compete with the battle-tested Hainan, and Takasago grabs the rebound in one go!

Hainan's coach shouted: "We won!" However, Shohoku did not waver at all - Ryota Miyagi stole the ball and passed it to Sakuragi in an instant. rebound!

As soon as Mu Shen stood in front of the rebound, like a fortified wall, the No.1 in Kanagawa High School basketball world jumped up and intercepted!However, at this time, Yingmu Huadao can't even stop God!

"We will win—!!"

Sakuragi roared angrily and rushed forward, pouring down her arms fiercely!Mu Shen's tank-like body was sent flying horizontally!

The whistle blew suddenly - "Defensive foul! The goal is valid! Add a free throw!"

88 to 90 -- finally just two points away.

At 19 seconds to the end, Takenori Akagi dragged his injured leg and grabbed the rebound desperately, and roared to pass the ball: "This is the only chance to turn defeat into victory! Mitsui!!"

Hisashi Mitsui stood on the three-point line, and the moment he caught the ball, he made a steady shot. Nobunaga Kiyota flew up to block it—the ball passed the boy's fingertips and pointed straight at the basket!

However, the sure-fire three-pointer missed the victory at the last moment-the goal was not scored!

【rebound! 】

In the blink of an eye, the same sentence crossed everyone's mind!

With a countdown of nine seconds, Mu Shenyi's hand touched the ball.

With eight seconds to go, Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up to grab the ball.

With six seconds to go, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the rebound and passed the ball vigorously—"Gorilla!"

——The ball was passed to Kazuma Takasago.

Time seemed to stand still, the stopwatch finally reset to zero, and the game was over.

Xiangbei lost by one goal.

……

[—lost? 】

Mitsui looked at the slippery palm, and rubbed his fingers subconsciously.

[I lost. 】

【we lose. 】

Finally realizing this, his body seemed to lose all strength in an instant. He took a big mouthful of breath, so hard that his chest hurt.

It's obviously a slight difference, but it just can't reverse the world-a heavy sense of powerlessness.

I can't tell what it feels like, it's not sad, maybe a little bit lost, my mind is completely blank.Mitsui Shou unconsciously followed his teammates to the field.

"It's dangerous..." Kiyota Nobunaga smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.

Mitsui turned his head to look at the long-haired monkey, and asked slightly suspiciously: "Did you... really touch the ball...?"

Kiyota Nobunaga raised his left hand and gave a smirk: "It's just nails."

The nail on the guy's middle finger was bleeding profusely.

For a moment, Mitsui felt like a stone fell to the ground suddenly.

It was only then that Mitsui realized that he had been doubting just now... During the all-out competition, he had doubts about his skills for the first time.Doubt the feel of my own shooting, doubt the judgment of basketball for many years...

[If you can't even make a good three-point shot...] [It was my mistake and I couldn't turn the tables into victory...] He didn't even dare to think about such a thought.

[Have you shaken even the most basic self-confidence?Mitsui Shou, you really don't look like you. 】

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Mitsui lowered his head and walked towards the comrades who started to line up.

"Mitsui..." It was Konobu Kogure.

Mu Mu came forward from behind, reached out and patted Mitsui's shoulder: "Let's go."

"Um……"

Mitsui silently clenched his fists.

……

"...Mitsui-kun?" Qihai, who came back from tutoring, looked at Mitsui who was leaning against the streetlight in surprise, "Didn't Mitsui-kun just finished the game, why did you suddenly come here..."

Before the words fell, the man was already tightly hugged in the man's arms.

"Mitsui...kun?" Qihai frantically fixed the glasses that were nearly knocked off, "What happened?"

"It's okay..." Mitsui's voice was low, shaking Qihai's ears numb, "I just want to hug you suddenly."

"Eh--?"

"Shh..." Mitsui tightened his arms, silently embracing Nanami.

Feeling the strength of the man's arm and the heat of his chest, Qi Haixue blinked: 【Big Dog, I seem to be in a low mood...】

My heart softened instantly.Arms wrapped around the opponent's back, palms gently patted on the strong back, Qihai put her forehead on Mitsui's shoulder, and all her tenderness turned into a vague voice: "Mmm..."

[Come on, Mitsui-kun. 】

【come on. 】

……

On the second day of the Hainan battle, the wind was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Mitsui and the others got a full rest by taking advantage of the whole daytime class to catch up on sleep.Everyone in northern Xiangbei cheered up and came straight to the gymnasium after school, telling Caizi, who was waving a big fan to boost morale, to waste her time.Yes, now Xiangbei has reached the time of the last stand, where is the leisure time immersed in the depression of failure?Everyone was not discouraged, enthusiastic, actively preparing for the battle, shouting loudly, and training hard for the last ticket to the national competition.

Only our Sakuragi genius was missing for a whole day.

"He's probably still blaming himself for the last misrepresentation." Mitsui said to Nankai when school was over.

"Sakuragi-kun..." Qihai asked worriedly, "Is there any problem? Will you cheer yourself up?"

Mitsui smiled when he heard the words, and rubbed the girl's head with his big palm: "Don't worry. The monkey's wisdom can't remember being sad for so long, it's too hard for him! Heh... maybe tomorrow I will see that guy jumping around and talking loudly." .'I'm a genius' or something... Tsk! What an arrogant junior."

"Haha, Mitsui-kun, you..." Qihai was amused by Mitsui imitating Sakuragi, she raised her eyes and looked into the distance, "I hope so."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yingmu Huadao returned to the team as quickly as Mitsui expected, and everyone was shocked when he returned to the team.

——What a red hair ball head!

Mitsui and Miyagi were stunned by the dazzling new red in the morning light early in the morning, and then laughed like crazy when they were poked at the laughing hole.The chain reaction caused by the freshly baked monk's head quickly infected the entire basketball team and even caused a sensation in the whole school. The classroom of Grade [-] was full of visitors all day long.The Sakuragi Legion was very good at seizing business opportunities, and quickly organized a group to sell tour fees for the new image of the red-haired monkey at the door.

There are really people who are willing to pay the 50 yen ticket to see it, for example- Nanami Snow.

"Come here~ Hanako! The business is here!" Mito Yohei said with a sly smile and rubbed his hands like a pimp.

Sakuragi Huakui turned her head with a depressed face, raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah, it's Miss Qihai!"

"Good afternoon. I heard from Haruko that Sakuragi-kun has a very cute new hairstyle! You really look very handsome!" Qihai praised sincerely.

"Huh? Really?" Sakuragi blushed from the praise.

"Yeah!" Qi Hai nodded vigorously, her eyes wandered over the opponent's head, her eyes were blurred, and her face was dreamy, "Ah...it looks very easy to touch..."

Hey, Miss Qihai, your saliva is about to flow down.

"Can I touch it?"

Sakuragi was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Qihai lowered her head in embarrassment and explained: "That... I have no resistance to furry things... Well, I, I can add another hundred yen! Is it possible?"

"Of course! Please touch! Please feel free to touch!" Gao Gongwang and others sold their teammates hard.

Sakuragi struggled and resisted in vain, but was brutally suppressed by the group of four.

Qi Haixue messed up a bunch of monkey hair with both hands: "It's so soft, it's really easy to touch... um... No wonder Mitsui-kun always likes to rub my hair..." Qi Hai murmured with emotion, and then suddenly realized something As if, blushing and ran away in a panic.

"Why did you run away all of a sudden?" Yuuji Okusu asked suspiciously.

"It seems to be shy." Mito Yohei said.

"Shy?" Gao Gongwang rubbed his chin, "Miss Qihai, who will pay a high price and strongly demand to touch a man's head, is shy?"

Noma Chuichiro: "What a mysterious woman...Miss Qihai."

At this time, the "mysterious woman" Qi Haixue was covering her face while shouting in her heart: [Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Mitsui-kun likes to touch my head, and he even said it in public——I'm ashamed to see people! 】

……

After school training, Nanami, Haruko and others stood in the stands on the second floor of the gymnasium to watch the match. The Xiangbei team's group practice match seemed to be more serious and intense than usual.

The ball was passed in the air, and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor on the court was connected together.Mitsui made an emergency stop to shoot, and the three-pointer went into the basket accurately. The light shone on the man, which was extremely dazzling.

Sweat swayed and shouted loudly.Limbs colliding with limbs, running, jumping, and extraordinary feints... The scene in front of him suddenly blurred, and a large group of light jumped up, Qi Hai subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

The red light and the orange light seemed to be burning fiercely, and the tracks where the boys ran flashed white flames.Like fireworks, the golden brilliant light blooms unobstructed in this hot summer-boiling.

[Too dazzling, too far away. 】

At that moment Qihai suddenly remembered what Kobayashi said.

Ahh... So, that's how it feels.

The back of that guy running on the court seemed so far away from me.That is——a world that cannot be intervened.

"...Maybe they won't know?" Akagi Haruko suddenly said softly.

"Eh?"

"Boys... the figure of the girl who is working hard for his dream, what kind of mood the girl is watching...they probably don't know?"

Following Haruko's line of sight, Qihai couldn't help but nodded, and then shook her head with a smile: "Don't you think that such a figure makes people want to cheer for them?"

"Miss Nanami...?"

The smile on Qi Haixue's face gradually deepened: "I like the back view of persistently chasing dreams. This is what I like the most. So, I will try my best to support them! Isn't that what Haruko is doing?"

"Senior Nanami..." Haruko also smiled, "As expected of you, Senior Nanami. Unlike me, who is weak and confused, always upright like this!"

Qihai was slightly taken aback when she heard the words.

【No, I will be confused too.However, what does it matter if you are confused?It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, you will fall, you will regret it, you will cry in pain...these are all normal. 】

Her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on that person accurately.

[Just keep going forward. 】

[Just keep going forward, don't stop. 】

"Boys work hard for their dreams, and we girls also have jobs that belong to girls." Qihai turned to look at Haruko, "Let's work hard together. Don't be left behind by them."

Haruko smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Miss Nanami!"

"Why...you even call Haruko that."

"Ahaha... infected by Sakuragi-kun and the others."

On this day, the Xiangbei team's training continued until late at night.
