shining moment

After the Kanagawa team won the autumn championship, these dozen super basketball stars met again on the court, which was the winter competition, WINTERCUP at the end of December.

Although the Shonhoku basketball team lost its capable center, Takenori Akagi, Sakuragi and Rukawa, who recovered from their back injuries, formed the most powerful partner in Kanagawa and shined brilliantly in the winter games.

Since many of the basketball team's juniors have dropped out, the overall strength has declined compared to the IH games in the summer.

But Xiangbei's road in the winter competition is not all smooth sailing.

After rounds of hard battles, they failed to make it to the end of the Winter Games.

The green leaves began to turn yellow, and then the dead leaves withered. The temperature also dropped slowly, and people wore more and more clothes.

Autumn and winter come.

In the morning, you can see yesterday's frost, a whitish one, with a sense of coldness.

After the winter games, the blue-haired boy no longer has to devote a lot of time and energy to basketball as before, but is preparing for the most important exam that is coming.

In the days when he was so busy preparing for the exam, the teenager had no time to play basketball until the exam was completely over.

During the holiday at home, there is no huge exam pressure in the past.

With the arrival of winter, the quilt on the bed is warmer and more comfortable. Occasionally sleeping late and enjoying the feeling of lying in a soft bed has become a habit.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the first snow in early winter has completely shrouded the entire Kanagawa in white.

The breath from Kazakhstan carried the warmth of body temperature, blending with the cold air, exuding white mist.

The biting wind, mixed with snow, howled, and blew across the faces of pedestrians. The skin exposed to the cold wind looked flushed as if it had been scraped by a cold blade.

The scarf covered half of her face, and the black-haired girl walked carefully on the snow-covered road for fear of falling, leaving a series of deep footprints on the ground.

What came from the palm of the blue-haired boy beside him was a steady and powerful warmth that made people not want to let go.

Snow crystals of various shapes condense in the clouds, and flakes of snow flutter slowly in the wind and fall with the wind.

After a short journey, the clothes and hair of the two of them were covered with white snow.

The clear and neat footprints of the two were left on the ground, extending into the distance.

The courtyard of the boy's home was also covered with snow, and a thick layer of ice covered the pool.

The outdoor tables, stools and screen walls are also covered with a thick layer of snow.

In this winter, the white camellia blooms extremely gorgeously, covered with snowflakes, it reveals the beauty of pure whiteness.

Everything here gave the girl a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it a long, long time ago, or it had existed in a dream at night, which was vaguely unreal.However, the girl turned to think about it, probably because the layout of the courtyard is slightly similar to her own home, so she had such an illusion.

"Ala, is she the youngest daughter of the Yasuda family? She has grown up so much!" The boy's mother has brown hair, and her well-maintained face looks as young as 30 or [-] years old.

The embossed blue pendant taps the flowers and wind chimes of the four seasons, like the sound of the wind, crisp and ethereal.

The heavy blanket on the floor and the white wool cushions on the sofa make people feel warmer in this heated room.

In the kitchen, the black marble floor and white tiled walls create a simple and bright feeling, and there is a sweet smell of sweet soup in the casserole of the Japanese style.

Outside the window, the falling snow turned white, quietly and silently.

The falling snowflakes accumulate layer after layer.

"I, have I been here before..." After dinner, the girl sat in the boy's room, looked at the falling snow outside the window, and asked her doubts softly.

"Well, don't you remember?" The boy propped his head on one hand, looked at the girl in front of him and said, "You were probably too young at that time, you have been here a few times."

"So I really came here, do you remember? At that time..."

"I don't remember much. At that time, I was still young, and I only remembered some after being reminded by my mother. In summer, you always like to blow dandelions in the garden."

The girl blushed a little when she heard the boy's memories, and lowered her head slightly.

In the summer many years ago, there were cicadas singing everywhere.

Summer in Kanagawa is as hot as it is now.

From a distance, it seems that the sound of the sea can still be heard, mixed with the sound of trains passing by the railroad tracks from time to time.

In such hot weather, the two families who have a good personal relationship will get together on weekends from time to time.

Yasuda Mori, who was still young, followed his parents to Mitsui's house, while the older Yasuda Keito studied at home alone.

In the afternoon, the parents drank tea comfortably, while the children played on their own in the courtyard.

The lotus leaves in the lotus pond are just green, and the lotus flowers are blooming just right, revealing a fresh beauty that attracts dragonflies to stand on the flower pond.

The flowers and plants in the garden have been carefully trimmed.

White dandelions sway in the summer wind.

The young Yasuda Mori followed behind Mitsui Shou again, looked curiously at the grass, pointed to the dandelion and asked, "This, what is it?"

The flowering period of dandelions is from April to September. At this time, the dandelions are blooming.

After receiving Yasuda's curious eyes, Mitsui knelt down and explained, "Dandelion."

Then, I picked two plants, picked up one of them, and blew gently, and the white dandelion seeds floated into the air like snowflakes and disappeared into the distance.

After handing over another intact plant, the young An Tiansen showed great interest again, as if he could never get enough of it.

The white floating clouds fluttered gently, and the sun shone through the gaps between the clouds, revealing golden brilliance, shining on the earth.

The breath of summer, with a passionate heat.

After a long time, Mitsui and Yasuda returned to the living room because of the heat outside.

Sitting on the carved sofa in the living room, Mitsui pressed a few buttons on the remote control, and after switching the channel, the popular cartoons were shown on the large screen.

After watching TV for a while, the tired two couldn't bear the drowsiness. In this drowsy afternoon, they leaned together and fell deeply asleep.

The layout of the boy's home seems to be due to the old nostalgia of the owner. Even if the furniture is replaced, it is still replaced with the same old ones. Therefore, there has not been much change in the past few years. The inside and outside of the house are just as The scenery of the past.

The hands of the clock passed by one by one, ticking and ticking circles on the clock one after another, and after turning 360 degrees, they returned to the original starting point.

In the evening, the first snowfall finally stopped, but the air became colder due to the melting snow and the gradual disappearance of light.

"Be careful." The boy took the girl's hand and walked slowly on the snow-covered road.

On the other side of the sky, the setting sun dyed half of the sky red.

The girl hesitated and wanted to speak, but became silent when she struggled to speak.

A cold wind blew through the silent street.

The short journey has become particularly long.

The imprint of the two walking side by side was left on the snow.

After hesitating again and again, the girl seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Tomorrow..."

The boy turned his head and looked at the girl beside him who spoke.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Tokyo." Because of the dryness of winter, his eyes began to turn sour, and after a few blinks, the eye sockets became moist.

"Really? How long will it take?" Melting snow made the temperature drop to below zero, and the coldness penetrated directly into the heart.

The girl lowered her head and was silent for a moment, only the sound of shoes stepping on the snow remained.

"After that, I will always be there, and the universities I applied for are all in Tokyo, so..." The girl sighed long, thinking that the boy who loves basketball might apply for the Kyoto University of Education with the ambition of being a physical education teacher , that is to cross the distance of less than half of Honshu Island. If it is in the Tokyo Sports University, it is also more than an hour away.After arriving in Tokyo, it will probably return to the previous life state, so busy that there is no time to rest. After leaving, the girl does not know how long it will be before the next meeting.

After a long time of separation, there is always some reluctance. Thinking of this, I only said half of what I said, and I couldn't continue.

A low mood is like a sub-zero temperature.

"So, if there are no accidents, shouldn't you go back to Kanagawa?" The boy took the words and continued what the girl had only said half.

"kindness."

"When will you leave tomorrow?"

"Around one o'clock in the afternoon."

"I'll come see you off tomorrow."

All the way in silence, turning the corner of the street, and after a simple farewell, they turned around and walked away from each other.

On the side of the road, I don't know when, there are a few more snowmen.

Perhaps it was piled up by the children who were very excited to see the snow in the sunny afternoon. They used branches they found randomly in the grass as the hands of the snowman, and an orange carrot was dotted between the two black buttons. Down, as a nose.

There are also some snowdrifts of various shapes, which can no longer be seen from the original builder's ideas, standing crookedly aside.

In this silent winter day, it adds a bit of vitality.

When the temperature rises, it won't be long before these snowmen piled up at the beginning will eventually turn into a puddle of snow water.

In such a season, the evaporation disappears, as if all this has never happened.

The frozen outdoor basketball court is no longer suitable for players to practice. On the empty court, there are only traces of cold wind left.

The trains in the severe winter still run on the tracks.

Drive from origin to destination.

Column after column, following the timetable, takes people to where they want to go.
