Song of Light and Shadow

The sky outside was a little gloomy, and it was still sunny when we came here, but after two games, it was cloudy.

Vulcan was running on the open-air court with the ball, his sweat shone a little bit even under the gloomy sky.

Heizi walked aside, took off his coat, and raised his hand to signal Vulcan to pass the ball.

But Vulcan just raised his hand for a shot and threw the ball to the basket.The ball went in after rolling around the edge of the basket a few times, and then fell into the hands of Vulcan who ran to the basket.

"Hey, Heizi." Vulcan held the ball and stood there silent for a while, then suddenly said, "What do you think about my comparison with those five people?"

"Vulcan-lord is very powerful. Although it may not be able to reach their level for the time being, I believe that Vulcan-lord will succeed." Heizi said it without any hesitation, as if it was a matter of course.

"Not this one!" Vulcan suddenly raised his voice, but then there was a strange silence.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Vulcan." Heizi looked at Vulcan and asked, the current Vulcan looks very anxious, it doesn't seem like he is upset about the game, but seems to be occupied by other things In my heart, "It's better not to think too much before the game."

Vulcan almost wanted to hit the pillar.Although he has realized that he likes sunspots, and likes of the same sex are very common in the United States, but since then, he has always thought that he likes girls, although he has never had a girlfriend.But after finally trying to take advantage of the atmosphere of the competition to confess to Heizi, but being lectured like this, he was really speechless.

Vulcan sighed, threw the ball to Heizi, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and only roared "Come on!", then tried to clear his head and stop thinking about Kise and Midori Attitude towards sunspots.

What Heizi said is right, defeat them all first, and then think about other things.

Three hours later, the battle against Bailing High School.

Although the first match was not very difficult, it was played very seriously no matter what, and consumed a lot of energy, but there was another match in three hours, and the opponent was not weak. It's really not a good thing.

But fortunately, although it was very difficult, we finally won by a slight advantage of 2 points.

Seirin finally made it to the semifinals.

The first game is against Zhengbang, and Xiude will definitely enter the final, so once he wins Zhengbang, the last contest will be against Xiude when he is exhausted.

What's more, Zhengbang, as one of the king's colleges, has no real strength. Whether it can win the first game is a question mark.

The semifinals and finals are held a week later.

Even if I was still playing ball hard yesterday, I still have to go to class the next day.

During lunch, Vulcan walked in with a lot of bread under the eyes of everyone. If he didn't know that Vulcan is a foodie, he would probably think that he is a peddler who resells bread.

Heizi took a piece of sandwich and chewed it slowly, and at the same time watched Vulcan basically destroying the bread in two bites, and said in a little surprise: "Vulcan-lord eats more than usual."

Vulcan gulped down the bread that he didn't chew much, took another sip of milk, looked back at the expressionless Heizi and the food in Heizi's hands that was not enough to fit between his teeth, frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "What is it?" I said, you also eat too little. Yesterday, you competed twice in a row, and you can’t replenish your body if you only eat this little. No wonder you’re so thin, eat well.”

"I have a good meal." Heizi said and wanted to show his invisible muscles.

"Okay, you don't move. You must have been exhausted from yesterday's game. Did you go back to have a good rest at night?" Vulcan asked while chewing bread.

"Well, I soaked in hot water, and now my muscles are really hurting." Heizi took a sip of milk and pointed to his trembling legs.

"You don't even have a massage?! Are you an idiot!" Vulcan looked at the nodding Heizi and was speechless. "Come to the locker room early after class. Anyway, there is no training today. Let me give you a massage."

"Thank you very much, Lord Vulcan." Heizi said, nodding his thanks to Vulcan.

"I didn't expect to be so tired. Obviously, the opponents in the two battles yesterday were weaker than us. In the end, we were still a little nervous. The next two consecutive victories will be very difficult..." Vulcan analyzed the situation calmly. , which made Heizi a little surprised.

"Mr. Vulcan also thinks about these things."

"Do you think I'm an idiot!"

At this time, Aida Reiko happened to be walking through the corridor with two small boxes in her arms. When passing by the classes of Heizi and Vulcan, she raised her eyes and caught sight of the two who were having a lively conversation, so she called out, "Vulcan-kun, Heizi-kun , it happens that both of you are here, come over here."

As a result, the two people whose muscles were still sore after a hard fight were called directly to do coolies.

At the same time in Hidetoku, Midorima looked at the disc in Takao's hand and asked with some doubts: "DVD?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for seniors to come, Zhengbang's game video. It's okay if we are the only two who don't know Zhengbang's strength." Takao raised the dvd in his hand and said with a smile.

"I'm not interested." Midorima pushed his glasses, but he really didn't have any thoughts.

"Don't say it's because there is no Kuroko here~ I'm sorry for Seirin, but let me see that the opponent in the final should be Masamune. Besides, there is no training today, so it's too busy to go home, isn't it?"

"Won't……"

"It's decided like this!" Takao completely ignored Midorima's words and made a final decision.

"Hey!" Midorima glared at Takao, and had no choice but to agree.

Although I still believe in Heizi's strength, people like Huoshen seem to have no way to fully display Heizi's strength. Looking at Zhengbang's style of play, we can roughly estimate whether Heizi and the others have the possibility of winning .

In his opinion, if it is not to defeat the opponent with his own hands, it is meaningless.

I hope Seirin will not lose to Zhengbang.Midorima pushed his glasses, thinking in his heart.

After school, Vulcan went to the staff room first, and when he came back, he found that Kuroko was no longer there.

Reluctantly wondering if Heizi had already returned home in a daze, Vulcan picked up his schoolbag and picked up the ball, ready to continue his personal training, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the towel. The locker room is over.

When he came to the dressing room, he opened the cabinet door, took out a towel, and then closed the cabinet door. In the next second, Vulcan found Heizi quietly standing beside him with shame.

"When did you appear..." Vulcan looked at Heizi with black lines all over his face.

"He came before Vulcan-kun. Didn't Vulcan-kun say he wanted to give me a massage?" Heizi said calmly, not thinking that he had frightened Vulcan at all.

"Ah, even though this is the case, can you stop being so scary? Even if you have seen it many times, you can't get used to it..." Vulcan sighed, and Jiang was still on the side, ordering Heizi to take off his shirt and lie down on the bench.

Heizi took off his clothes obediently, and just as he was about to lay down on the bench, he found a disc with the label 'Zhengbang vs Kitahotan' lying in front of him.

"Would you like to take a look while massaging?" Heizi handed the disc to Vulcan.

Vulcan looked at it and found that it was the game video of his opponent Zhengbang in the next battle, so he nodded and said: "Well, anyway, there are DVD players and TVs here, so let's take a look. You lie down quickly, dawdling .”

Putting the disc into the machine and pressing the play button, Vulcan rolled up his sleeves and skillfully kneaded Heizi's stiff muscles.Looking at the method, it is definitely not the first time to do this kind of thing.

The TV screen appeared, so the two focused on the game.

On the second day, when the whole team gathered in the multimedia classroom to watch the videos of several other classic Zhengbang games, the whole classroom fell into silence.

"Although I knew it a long time ago, the situation is really not optimistic..." Yi Yue frowned rarely.

"By the way... I'm sorry, I want to cry..." Xiao Jinjing pinned his cat's mouth, tears of despair rolled from the corners of his eyes.

Reiko Aida sighed, supported the table and said: "Frankly speaking, when we meet Zhengbang and Xiude, we will lose in nine out of ten cases, but only one time is enough, and we will win this time."

Hyuga nodded, and then said with a hearty smile: "Zhengbang is very strong, we must not be careless. To be honest, because of last year's disastrous defeat, we all hated basketball and almost gave up." But as soon as the words came out, everyone in the second grade Immediately, his face was covered with black lines and he fell into painful memories.

"Hey, don't be gloomy! Cheer up! This year we are very different from last year, and we will definitely not be the same as last year, at least I have this confidence!" Hinata said, showing confidence slowly smiling confidently, "We've grown up."

Listening to what Hinata, the captain, said, the originally tense atmosphere eased a little.

"The rest, I just have to work hard!" Lizi clapped her hands and said loudly, "Rest these few days and conserve your strength! That's all for today, let's go."

Leaving the school, Heizi and Vulcan walked side by side on the road. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the street, dyeing their slanted figures red.

Seeing Heizi's unexpectedly depressed mood since he left the school, Vulcan finally couldn't hold back and asked.But Heizi was silent for a while, and asked, "Vulcan Lord, have you ever hated basketball?"

"Huh?" Vulcan was suddenly puzzled by Heizi's rhetorical question, "I haven't."

"I did." Heizi's eyes seemed to be full of sadness at this moment, and in the sunset, his loneliness and pain appeared even more, "Although the reasons are different, I still understand the feelings of seniors. Although I am so cheerful now, it is a very painful feeling to hate something that I like so much that I can no longer like it. When I talked with Mr. Midori, although I told him that the past and the future are different, it is not It is to cut off the two. This game is a very important game for the seniors, in order to overcome the sadness of the past, so..."

"So what?" Vulcan suddenly interrupted Heizi's words, stopped, pulled Heizi suddenly, and gently brought him into his arms, "So you want to help the captain and the others? You idiot."

"Vulcan Lord...?" Heizi was gently embraced by the Vulcan, and lowered his eyes.

"Don't always think that this is your business alone, you and me. I am your light, am I not? Before you try to be brave, at least trust me as the light." Vulcan said, He laughed proudly.

Heizi raised his head, looked at Vulcan's face, and was stunned for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, just quietly being hugged by Vulcan, in the warm sunset, slowly fading away the pain of the past.
