Song of Light and Shadow

"Qingfeng, are you okay?" The teammate walked to Qingfeng's side and extended his hand to Qingfeng. After all, being passed by Vulcan, even if it was Qingfeng, no, it should be Qingfeng, so the blow was bigger.

However, Aomine opened his teammate's hand with a snap, and stood up calmly.

"Don't touch me. It's just a little careless. Don't make trouble. The good show has just begun. The time to stir up emotions is now, right...Compared with strategy, now is a priority. When you are emotional. Huh?"

Rekindling the fighting spirit, I entered the zone again with supreme joy. I will break through all the restrictions and time for you to see!As long as I want to do it, I can do it!With a roar in his heart, Aomine took Imayoshi's pass and met the already panting Kagami.

What's that expression?Just kidding, I haven't worked hard yet.Isn't such a passionate game just right?This is the game, this is the basketball I want!

"Xiaoqingfeng is on fire." Kise wanted to smile with the corners of his mouth, but found that the muscles on his face were out of control.Can't laugh... Seeing such a game, he couldn't laugh at all... The impulse in his body was brought up by the rhythm of the field, and the blood that had never been seen before was rushing in the blood vessels, rushing against the thin blood vessel walls, as if It's like breaking through and bursting.

I want to play basketball, I really want to play basketball now...

"Kose, are you okay?" Kasamatsu saw that Kise was trembling, and didn't understand what happened to Kise.

"It's okay." Kise chuckled, "I just think it's really good to like basketball."

Kasamatsu trembled three times, rolled his eyes at Kise, sized him up suspiciously, and said, "Suddenly saying this, you don't have a fever, do you?"

"No, it's just that I suddenly felt emotional." The smile on Huang Lai's face slowly faded, leaving only an inexplicable bleakness, "I'm still far away..."

At this time, the battle between Qingfeng and Vulcan has intensified.Qingfeng has been pushed to the bottom line by Vulcan, but he still can't break into the restricted area.At this time, Muji was also defending from a position separated by a person, completely blocking the route where Qingfeng could shoot.

Qingfeng scanned the route in front of him, and when he realized that there was no usable route, he simply fell to the outside of the line, and threw the ball into the basket from behind the hoop.

"How can you lose? If you can't win a game like this, what's the fun in it!" Qingfeng was so excited that he seemed to be burning with no sign of retreating.

15 seconds left.

Compared to Tong Huang, everyone on Seirin's side seemed to be obviously exhausted.I couldn't even lift my feet to run.Even if he scored a three-pointer in the end, it was only a tie with Tonghuang, so it must not work. Seirin has no physical strength for overtime. If he does not win, the only way to go into overtime is to lose.

"Impossible..." Seeing this situation, Kise clenched his fists, he didn't want to see such an ending at all, he didn't want it at all, he hoped Seirin would win more than Tonghuang! "Win! Seirin! Don't give up!!" Following the shouts of the audience, he also shouted his own voice.

The game continued, but the two sides were still deadlocked.

9 seconds left.

"Hey, hey, time is running out... think of a way!" All the substitutes stood up, wishing they could rush to the field to help throw the ball into the basket.It's only a three-pointer, a three-pointer, but if you don't make it, you will lose to Tonghuang again.Lose again... Lose again or something, absolutely not!

Hinata gave Kuroko a signal, intending to mislead the audience for the last time, but Kuroko's knees gave way at the moment of activation, and he almost fell down.

Is it not enough?Hinata became more and more unwilling, she had reached this point, she didn't want to lose.

"Give it to me!" At this moment, Kagami appeared from behind Sakurai, and signaled to pass the ball to Hinata, who was looking for a chance to break through Sakurai.

"Please!" Hinata hooked his lower hand and threw the ball into Vulcan's hands.

Vulcan catches the ball and turns around to take off. At the same time, Qingfeng also jumps up, and the height is actually a little higher than Vulcan's jump.If it goes on like this, Aomine will definitely take it down, Vulcan has this feeling.If you are detained by Vulcan here, you will definitely lose, and there are only 6 seconds left, what should you do?Go hard, or...

"Vulcan Lord!!" At the moment when Vulcan was confused, Heizi, who had not adjusted his breathing, yelled with all his strength.

No one expected that before the sound of Heizi's tail disappeared, Vulcan gave up the duel with Aomine and passed the ball to Muji who broke through the defense and entered.

Air pass, Vulcan did it!

Muji, who received the ball, naturally knew the weight of the ball, but even if the ball was scored, it was still one point away, but the time was only five seconds...Is there any way to win?Is there another way... a way... Muji suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, but if you want to win, there is only one way to gamble. Believe in your teammates, believe in the team he formed, and believe in the strength of those two people tacit agreement……

Muji swallowed, took advantage of the right to make a last move, made a fake move in front of Ruosong, and jumped up again, this time, jumping towards Ruosong's outstretched hand.

Make a foul!

The referee's whistle sounded as expected, everyone looked at the ball bouncing on the basket, Seirin prayed to go in, while Tong Huang silently said not to go in.

The ball bounced off the edge of the hoop, rolled a few more times, and finally fell into the soft pocket of the hoop, sitting in free fall.

"The goal is valid! Add a penalty!" The referee said the penalty.

After two seconds of silence, the audience erupted into incomparably enthusiastic applause. There was only one point left. If an extra penalty was scored, it would be a tie!Seirin still has hope!

"It's ok... actually passing the ball..." Qingfeng looked at the panting Vulcan in front of him, "Is that how you want to win?"

"Ah, yes." Vulcan wiped the sweat off his face, took a deep breath and replied, "Because I don't want Heizi to cry again."

Qingfeng froze for a moment, then fell silent.

"An extra penalty." The referee handed the ball to Muji.

"If the key is in, it will be evened." Takao looked nervously at Muji getting ready, "It seems that it's time to enter overtime."

"No, it's a dead end." Midorima denied Takao's opinion, "If Seirin wants to win the game, he must reverse at this time, and there is only a dead end in overtime, so now Seirin's choice is only Give it a go."

"Seirin will win once." Imayoshi, who also guessed Seirin's battle strategy, said to everyone except Aomine, "This free throw, Muji will definitely miss it, no, it should be said that it was an intentional miss. Compared to We, the opponent, have already run out of strength to enter the overtime. Because we have a lot of substitutes, even if we enter the overtime, our main force is still very strong, so as long as the overtime starts, Seirin will lose. So in the end they chose to make a foul. In this way, they have a great chance of winning, because they have Vulcan, who has the highest jump on the court. So, the victory or defeat this time is the rebound! Then we..."

"I'll stop him." Qingfeng, who didn't join the discussion, appeared behind a group of people at some point, and said calmly, "I'll stop Vulcan."

Imayoshi was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a smile, turned to the other three team members and said, "It seems that you can rest assured."

After the referee blew his whistle, Muji stood at the free throw line.The audience fell silent, waiting for the final direction of the game.

Once, twice, the sound of the collision between the ball and the floor seemed to be slowed down, pounding on everyone's hearts, Muji raised his arms, his body went up, his bent arms bounced straight, and the ball bounced slowly. Fly to the hoop...

"Prepare for the rebound!" Imayoshi turned his head and yelled at the people preparing for the basket, but before he finished speaking, Vulcan jumped high as if he had springs under his feet, and was about to pop out of the basket. The incoming ball is caught in the hand.

"Vulcan grabbed it!" Everyone was ready to watch Vulcan score another goal to secure the victory, but when Qingfeng's hand suddenly appeared next to the basketball in Vulcan's hand, the audience gasped.

"I won't give it to you! Absolutely not!" Aomine hit the ball fiercely, and Seirin's plan fell through.

"Win!" Tonghuang's people jumped up, with only 4 seconds left, Liang Seirin couldn't do anything to fight back, especially since they had no energy.

However, only Imayoshi reacted, and began to chase after the water-blue figure that had rushed out like an arrow from the string.He had clearly reached his limit, why he was still able to run, his face was so pale as if he had become transparent, how could he react that this ball was shot from Vulcan?

"Heizi Tetsuya!" Imayoshi yelled and rushed towards Heizi, but Heizi who had rushed out much earlier had almost got the ball.

With only the basketball in his eyes, Heizi was galloping towards the orange jumping object. He felt that his legs were gone, and his hands seemed to no longer belong to him. Cutting the alveoli, the whole body was cold, but he couldn't stop.

No, you can't stop!

"Why... don't you believe that Aomine's ability is superior to Vulcan's than Vulcan's?!" Imayoshi couldn't accept such a result. Even he, who was also a teammate, felt that Vulcan had already won the game at the beginning. Locked, but Heizi thinks Qingfeng hits the ball out of Vulcan's hand.

"It's a little... a little different..." Heizi stepped on the ground and made a sudden brake, the harsh sound of the basketball shoes rubbing against the wooden floor made people tremble and goosebumps, "I have absolute confidence in them, Lord Vulcan I will definitely get the ball, but Aomine-kun will definitely save the ball from Vulcan-kun. However, as a member of Seirin, I believe that at this time, there is only one person who can kill the ball!"

Accelerate the pass, 迴!The palm of the hand collided with the basketball, and the ball, like a cannonball, rushed towards Vulcan with precision.

"Vulcan-lord, come on!"

Seeing the ball fly over, both Kagami and Aomine jumped up.But perhaps because of the belief and tacit understanding of the teammates, the ball finally reached Vulcan's hands.

At this moment, Aomine suddenly remembered what Heizi said to himself in the breeze with a smile like cherry blossoms in March on the bridge that day: People who are more powerful than Aomine-kun will definitely appear soon.If not, I'll find it for Aomine-kun.

Arms crossed, behind him came the sound of a slam dunk.

Qingfeng knew that Vulcan scored a goal...

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, after a few seconds of silence in the stadium, cheers erupted as if boiling.

"Seirin won!!!"

At the final buzzer, Seirin narrowly beat Tonghuang by one point!

"I lost..." Qingfeng stood there in a daze, looking at Heizi who was hugging and cheering with his teammates, feeling empty in his heart.In this way, all the connections between him and Heizi will be broken... Even his light can't be done... "Could it be that I lost... I..." Only when I lost for the first time did I know that I lost. It felt so uncomfortable.That day, after Heizi lost, did he feel the same way? His heart and liver were about to burst into pain...

Before laughing with his companions for too long, Heizi turned his gaze to Qingfeng standing there.After a few seconds of silence, just as he was about to step towards Qingfeng, his knees gave way and he was about to fall down.

Qingfeng subconsciously took a step forward and stretched out his hand to support Heizi, but Vulcan had already held Heizi and mixed him up.

"Do you need help to stand up... From this point of view, I can't imagine that you will win..." For the first time, Qingfeng lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly: "But, maybe this is the way to win." The best..."

Yes, because I tried my best, I won; because I didn't try my best, I lost...that's why.

"Hey, why do you put on an expression that everything is over." Vulcan clicked his tongue, looked at Qingfeng and said, "It's just each other, but this time it's your turn to avenge your shame, I will accept the challenge Oh."

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about...you're such an idiot..."

"Mr. Qingfeng..." Heizi took a few breaths and finally opened his mouth.

In an instant, Qingfeng only felt that he wanted to cry, very much, under the gaze of those water blue eyes, he wanted to hold Heizi and cry hard once.However, he no longer has the qualifications...he is no longer his light...

"You won, Zhe..."

"That, is it okay?" Heizi raised his fist towards Qingfeng, "Can the fist bump at that time be completed?"

"Huh? How long ago was that..." Qingfeng didn't expect that Heizi would still be brooding over the events at that time.

"I don't want it, because I just want to get back to the bond that I had with Qingfeng-kun again, and I have worked so hard until now. Qingfeng-kun should at least feel my feelings." Heizi said a little angrily, "Qingfeng-kun said Yes, as long as I win, promise me a request."

Qingfeng looked at Heizi, and suddenly felt that a little light was slowly radiating from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps, it was not over yet, there was still something between him and Heizi that would never be broken.

basketball.

"It will only happen this time." Qingfeng raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and lightly bumped into Heizi's fist, but it seemed as if they were stuck together, and he didn't let go for a long time, "Next time, I must win return."

"Well. I'll wait."

After the game, Tonghuang's locker room was filled with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.Imayoshi opened the door and walked in, standing in a straight line with the third graders, and calmly said to the first and second graders: "Our third graders will retire from today, thank you all. New Wakamatsu will be the team leader, so please do your best.”

"Hey?!"

"It's okay, this kind of thing requires more adaptation than learning." Seeing Wakamatsu's surprised look, Imayoshi said with a smile, as usual.

"No, it's not this... The topic has changed too quickly!" Ruo Song didn't know how to answer.

"What are you talking about? We were eliminated in the first battle. If we have time to be sad, we might as well go back and practice more." At the last moment, Imayoshi still issued an order like the captain.

Sakurai looked at Imayoshi's red eyes, and knew in his heart that Imayoshi must have been crying in some place where no one could find out. After all, this was the last word competition for the third graders, so how could they not feel anything...

"But I don't have the confidence to coexist peacefully with that kid Qingfeng." Ruosong clicked his tongue and said dissatisfied.

"Do you hate Aomine?" Imayoshi asked.

"Hate it." Wakamatsu replied without hesitation.

"So, who do you think is the most suitable to become the number one ace in this team?"

"...Qingfeng." Ruo Song gave the answer after silence.

"That's enough to know." Jinji shrugged, "I'm never worried that you two won't get along well."

Wakamatsu pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Aomine, so he asked, Sakurai said in a panic that Momoi had gone out to look for it, which made Wakamatsu's favorability for Aomine drop by another level, although it was already negative .

Er Qingfeng was lying on the steps outside the gymnasium looking up at the stars.

"Finally found you." Momoi sighed after seeing Qingfeng, "Don't just run around by yourself right away, okay, hurry back, everyone is waiting."

Qingfeng didn't move, just looked at the sky silently, and asked after a while: "Momoi, are you free tomorrow?"

"Uh? What's the matter?"

"Can you go shopping with me?"

"Hey?! But, yes, yes, why suddenly..." Momoi was taken aback by Aomine's invitation.

"I want to buy a new pair of basketball shoes, I haven't changed them for more than a year..." Qingfeng said softly, and then, as if there was a choking sound coming from deep in his throat, he whispered unwillingly, "Ah... ...I really want to play basketball..."

Momoi looked at Aomine in front of him, and slowly smiled.Heizi, you did it... Qingfeng, you're back...

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow~ But please treat me to dinner~"

"what?"

"Did you think it was free?"

"Hey, it's just to buy a pair of shoes..."

"Can you buy good shoes without my instructions?"

"……whispering sound"

Maybe losing is not a bad thing, Momoi thought so when pulling Aomine up.

On Seirin's side, the lower flags and their shoulders Reiko, who had already packed up, were still guarding the door of the locker room and did not leave, and stepped forward to ask if it hadn't been packed yet.

However, Lizi instructed to look helplessly at the situation in the dressing room with pride, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also want to go back to rest early, but let them have some time to be quiet..."

"Hey?"

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone..."

In the locker room, everyone was lying on the ground staggered, snoring loudly.

Really exhausted.

Do your best to overcome the initial difficulties, Seirin won the first round of the winter trials!
