Song of Light and Shadow

The loss of i·h made everyone a little depressed.After the game, although the after-school training on the second day seemed to be seriously practiced, the heavy atmosphere could not be eliminated from the basketball hall.

In addition, Vulcan was absent after being injured, so even though everyone wanted to work hard, they were completely stateless.

Reiko sighed, looked at the clock, and whistled for everyone to gather.

Looking at the sweaty team members in front of her, Lizi said calmly, "By the way, when you joined the club, do you still remember what everyone did?"

The first-year freshmen looked at each other for a while before they realized that Reiko meant that if she didn't achieve the goal she swore at that time, she would have to confess to the person she likes naked.

"No, really?!" He Yuan and Jiang Qi were really frightened.

"The next time you lose, you have to execute it. Besides, it's very cold in winter, if you're naked." Lizi said with a malicious smile.

"Uh, winter?" Most of the freshmen were a little confused.

"It seems that many people don't know yet." Lizi sighed, and began to explain: "The three major high school basketball tournaments, the i·h in summer, the national sports in autumn, and the trials in winter, you should have heard of them. The national sports has nothing to do with us, because of its different nature, the competition that determines the level of each college is the summer i·h. The winter trials are a bit different. It is not the competition that determines the level of each college, but the grandest event that determines the strong teams of the year. The event is also a real duel between the powerful. The full name is the National High School Blue Flag Selection and Winning Conference, commonly known as rcup. Thanks to everyone's efforts this year, we finally have a chance to be selected. Therefore, block everything and completely compete in the wc turn over!"

After being silent for a while, everyone showed stunned expressions.

"That's it... as long as you win in wc..."

"This is the last chance." It was rare for Yi Yue not to joke.

"That's right, I've worked so hard until now. If we lose again in the winter trials, with that woman's personality, we'll really strip all of us!!" Hinata said sadly.

"So, this year isn't over yet, or in other words, what's next is the highlight." Lizi smiled brilliantly.

"Wc is full of powerful and powerful players. It will definitely not be easier than i·h, or it may be more difficult, so everyone has to work hard." Hinata said seriously.

"Ah, that's right!" Reiko looked at Hinata who was about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Didn't you say that guy was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and he should be back soon."

"No way." Hinata felt his eyelids twitch a little.

"Who is it?" Itsuki asked, looking at Hinata.

"Tieping." Hinata expressed his helplessness while holding his forehead.

"Ah, in this way, I can have a little confidence in the future. But... I always feel a bit ominous." Yi Yue also sighed helplessly.

Jiang Qi looked at all kinds of lively discussions among the seniors, left them aside for a year, and leaned forward to ask: "Senior, is that Tie Ping...?"

"Ah, by the way, you haven't seen it yet." Yi Yue turned around and said to the confused first-year student, "Our team doesn't have number seven. This is his number, our Seirin's trump card. "

"Wow! It feels like I suddenly gained confidence." The first-year students all jumped up with joy.

"Okay, okay, that's the end of today's training, let's all go back." Seeing that it was almost closing time, Lizi urged everyone to leave quickly.

After Heizi got home, he received a call from Kise, saying that he might not be able to go to Tokyo for a while, but he would send an email to greet him every day.

Heizi replied calmly, "No, thank you, Kise-kun," then closed the phone and fell down on the bed.

"Zhe Ye-kun, can you buy some soy sauce for me?" Heizi's mother called downstairs.

Heizi stayed in a daze for a while, then got up, went downstairs, put on his shoes and left the house saying "I'm going out".

Walking on the street, Heizi felt that his mind was a little blank, or that he didn't know what to think.Obviously need to think about some things, but just a little bit of thoughts can't be cleared up.

Now he doesn't know what is the meaning of his basketball anymore. After losing to Qingfeng, Vulcan seems to have shaken his faith.

Could it be that this time, he will be abandoned far away after all...

——"From today onwards, you are the shadow. You only need to strengthen your passing. Your existence is responsible for passing the ball accurately to your teammates."

Akashi's words are still in his ears, and the meaning of his existence is to pass the ball.

However, if everyone no longer needs to pass the ball, and one person can break through with the ball, then what should he do?

Give it up, he likes basketball.

Hold on, he's useless.

Heizi has never felt such a confusion in his heart. Originally, he just insisted that as long as he can find his own light, he will be trusted and needed, but it seems that in reality, maybe, he is not needed at all...

Even so, Heizi was still reluctant to part with his favorite basketball,

It has been a week since the end of the game, and he still insists on training every day and his own basketball. Even after everyone leaves, he will continue to work hard, but he begins to not understand what his hard work is for.His dribbling is terrible, he can't make shots, and now even the people who need him to pass the ball are gone... Sure enough, his basketball is really just a dream...

"By the way, I haven't seen Vulcan recently. Is he okay?" After the training, everyone gathered in the locker room to change clothes. Yi Yue remembered that he hadn't seen Vulcan recently, so he asked Hinata, "Speaking of it, Haven't seen him for almost a week."

Hinata didn't reply, and Koganei answered, "It seems that he is resting, although he said that he would come to see everyone practice..."

"Ah, Vulcan, you bastard. Although he said he was injured, he dared to make an excuse for not coming..." Hinata's personality ran out, and said with a dark face, "How courageous... If I see him, I will give him a good meal..."

Koganei looked at Hinata with shame, then suddenly remembered that Kuroko and Vulcan were in the same class, so he turned to look at Heizi who was about to leave after picking up his bag, and asked, "Kuroko, do you know what happened to Vulcan?"

"Ah?" Heizi didn't quite understand why he asked him suddenly.

"You are in the same class, aren't you still in the front and back seats?"

Heizi paused, his heart tightened, and he said softly, "But, I haven't talked to Vulcan Lord recently." To be precise, there was no chance to speak at all.For a week, Vulcan never looked at him or greeted him, even if he took the initiative to say good morning, Vulcan just sat silently on his seat without saying a word.

It seems that he is really hated.Heizi was a little sad, probably because it was too useless...

"Eh?! Didn't say a word for a week?!" Hinata was crazy, although he knew that Kuroko was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk to others, but he didn't say a word for a week because his teammates added the front and rear seats. Somewhat strange, after all Vulcan is still wounded, "I said you should show your concern more or less."

"I'm sorry." Heizi said as he walked towards the door, "But Lord Vulcan doesn't pay much attention to people recently."

Heizi's voice was very soft, and he still seemed to have no emotion.

Seeing Heizi leaving, Yi Yue asked worriedly, "Is he alright?"

"You mean Vulcan? It should be fine. It's not incomprehensible for him to feel that way." Hinata got dressed.

"No, I'm talking about Heizi. I always feel that there is something wrong with him..." Yiyue sighed and said, "I feel like he has encountered some obstacles or maybe he has encountered a bottleneck. I'm getting agitated."

"Ah?! Really?! I thought he was in good shape. How did you tell, Itsuki." Hinata expressed surprise.

"I'm not sure, it's just that Heizi's eyes are a little different from usual when he passes the ball, so I'm just guessing." Yiyue said.

"Really, whether it's Tieping or Vulcan, now even Kuroko is like this. The troubles are really one after another." Hinata passed the shoes, and went out complaining.

Heizi, who didn't leave immediately, returned to the basketball court alone after changing his clothes.

Putting the bag aside, picked up the basketball in the basket at the door, took a few shots, and ran into the penalty area with the ball.

The words that flashed through his mind made him stop.

If you don't talk about anything else, just from the perspective of basketball, Qingfeng said that he is the same as in middle school and has not changed at all. Does it mean that he has not grown at all?

It shouldn't be, since I do so much practice every day, it's not like I haven't grown at all...

Heizi looked up at the basket above his head, adjusted his posture, and threw the ball into the shooting basket, but the ball just hit the basket and bounced out.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work... Heizi was a little disappointed.

Just when he was about to pick up the ball, someone picked up the ball that fell on the ground first, and there seemed to be some crunching noises, as if he was eating.

"Haha, it's really the same as the rumors." The man swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect that you can do nothing but pass the ball. I saw you from Aida Participated in the competition, actually I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.” The visitor threw the ball to Heizi, “That’s enough, you’re just immature, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Heizi looked at the man in front of him, not knowing what to say.Suddenly a person who doesn't even know his name comes, it's really hard to say whether to talk to him or not.

"... Excuse me, who are you?" At the most basic level, Heizi still decided to ask the person's name.

"Ah, by the way, I haven't had time to say it yet. My name is Teping, Kiyoshi Teping. I should be the founder of this basketball club."
