[Black Basket] Star Trail

"The atmosphere of the team has become even weirder these days." The basketball team manager standing next to Momoi smiled wryly and took out a white towel from the dryer, "Although the daily procedures have not changed, the things that should be done have not changed. Nothing is left behind, but sure enough... there is still something different, right?"

The smile between Momoi's brows darkened, obviously recalling the after-school practice that day, when Murasakibara provoked Akashi, the latter was completely out of control, and no one could stop him.Since then, the atmosphere in the basketball club has gone to the other extreme—it’s like a commercial organization, with no human touch at all. You and everyone are competitors. Don't worry about anything, including your own feelings.Maybe they don’t even remember it, but a long time ago, when the scales were not out of balance, Akashi, Aomine, and even Murasakihara, who had the least interest in basketball, had no facial expressions when playing basketball. Vicious color.

"Speaking of which... Aomine-kun and Ziyuan-kun haven't been to the basketball club for a long time, right?" Another manager said, the two people's columns on the attendance record haven't been ticked for a long time, especially Aomine's column is in the green area. Below the room, the contrast between the two is particularly obvious. "Akashi-kun still came, but he often had to be interviewed and had to leave, and the time for practice was greatly reduced..."

The pink-haired girl lowered her eyes.

How long has it been since I saw Heizi-kun's smile?

"Stronger."

The supervisor crossed his fingers and propped his elbows on his knees, and he couldn't help sighing that it was already a fierce battle on the court.With Diguang's strength, there was no need to send the entire Generation of Miracles team, but because he wanted to see how their strength changed after the state changed, the supervisor decided to send everyone to the field.In fact, the purpose of "confirmation" has also been achieved, and it can even be said to have been overfulfilled.

If the Miracle Generation before was just "the strongest among middle school students", now they have completely broken away from the boundaries that middle school students should have, and have become a group of "middle school students who are not as strong as middle school students".Although the style of play has completely changed, no one will take the initiative to pass the ball unless they are guarded to the point where they have to pass the ball. Not only scorers will do this, but even Akashi Seijuro Occasionally dribbles the ball for a layup, but abandons the organization offense.If I had to talk about the reason, it was because there was no need for an "organization".

It's nerve-wracking, the Overseer thought.

This style of play can no longer be called a team, it is just a team of a few players who happen to make up a team, there is no tacit understanding at all, because what they pay attention to is not the cooperation between teammates, but the maximum exert one's abilities.Although the situation has not deteriorated to steal the ball from teammates, it is probably only due to the similar strength of each other.If any party is dragging its feet, it will inevitably be left behind... The current generation of miracles is such an organization.

Yet even the Overseer himself had to admit this.

──Compared to the previous ones... no, these five teenagers are stronger than the starters of the Teiko Basketball Club in any period, and compared to the middle school boys' basketball team in any period.

──So strong, just watching their performance on the court is almost daunting.

Recently, Kanzawa Norisha has been getting more and more busy, although he can still come back before dinner, but when he went out, it was just dawn, and Kanzawa Norie hadn't even gotten up yet.According to him, it was because the swimming team had recently changed coaches and had to increase the number of training hours to adjust.

Counting carefully, Kanzawa Norie hasn't been home with him for nearly a week.

This year's final snow fell on February [-]th, and on Valentine's Day, the snow on the roads has been greatly reduced, but it is not enough for people to wait for the car outside, not to mention the girl is weak and can wait outside. It is easy to catch a cold for too long.With this in mind, Akashi asked Momoi to come in and wait. Kanazawa Norie accepted the proposal, but insisted that she must help the basketball club──her original words were, "It's fine if you're idle, and it's not in vain. The principle of being favored by men".

What Momoi asked her to do was just some clerical work, as for the more laborious washing and cleaning, the managers of the basketball department were still doing it.What Kanzawa Norie has to do is to record the attendance and attendance of each member of the First Army and the training situation of part of the practice. When he saw the red-haired boy, he gave a slight pause.She checked the box for "Seijuro Akashi" as Shintaro Midorima sat down on the bench next to her, holding a water bottle.Kanzawa Norie glanced at him, still focused on doing his own thing with his hands, but his footsteps turned slightly to the side, leaving enough space for each other.

There were too many people on the field, and Midorima was sitting again, his vision was restricted and he couldn't see clearly, so he asked the girl like this.

"Are Qingfeng and Ziyuan here today?"

Kanzawa Norie quickly found out the names of those two people, shook his head, "No."

The green-haired boy gave a "tsk", raised his head and took a sip of water, his agitation couldn't have been more obvious.Kanzawa Norie didn't know him well, and he didn't have the heart to appease Midorima's emotions at the moment, and he was just doing his own thing silently.

Midorima Shintaro's irritability did not seem to diminish by half over time. The handsome boy frowned and looked at the court. Since Akashi was promoted to captain, Midorima Shintaro has also become the vice-captain of the basketball club. Akashi, the boy whose motto is "Do your best and obey the destiny" is obviously even more dissatisfied with the training situation of the two of them.Kanzawa Norie saw Momoi winking at her, the girl was not sure what Momoi meant, but wanted her to ask Midorima Shintaro what he wanted?Or do you want him back on the court to practice?Or ask him what he is not satisfied with?The girl holding the pen tapped her lips with the cap, and finally chose the safe option, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Midorima Shintaro glanced at her, even though everyone could see that he was angry, the boy still did not forget his oral habit, it was almost like some kind of paranoia, "Don't worry, it's not about you."

The Shenze family's car came very slowly that day.

When the girl recovered from work, not only was the training of the basketball team coming to an end, it was also quite late.She quickly took out the phone in her pocket, and there were three unread text messages from the driver.

Kanzawa Norie opened and read them one by one. It was a traffic jam caused by a traffic accident, which happened in the heart of the business district. The last text message from the driver was half an hour ago, and he was still stuck near the company.The place where the accident happened was densely populated and it was the off-duty time. It is not difficult to understand why the car was delayed.Kanzawa Norie confirmed the time, the driver should be off work, and it wasn't his negligence, there was no reason to force him to work overtime.

The girl then asked the driver to find a suitable location and drive the car back to the company for her elder brother to use. Then he could get off work and she could go home by herself.After receiving the confirmation message from the driver, the girl closed the phone, just as the whistle sounded, and the after-school training of the basketball team was over.The red-haired boy in a T-shirt came to her side, Kanzawa Norie keenly caught the eyes of others gathering here, and moved half a step in the opposite direction of Akashi.

Of course Akashi didn't miss her little gesture.

"what happened?"

Kanzawa Norie quickly explained the incident to Akashi, the red-haired boy looked at the clock on the wall, secretly estimating how long it would take to return to Kanzawa's house from here. "It's about this time, maybe even taking the subway can't guarantee the time to go home... I don't use the family car, so it's okay, but what about your dinner?"

The girl smiled wryly and shook her head, "Brother has an appointment tonight, Ji Zheng is going to train, I don't know how long he will stay at school, if it's only me for dinner, it's fine, just find a restaurant. It's still a little too early for dinner, and a little bit bothering..."

Akashi let out a "huh" and dribbled the basketball in his hand a little absent-mindedly.

Since the time hasn't come yet, it's good to hang around until the time is up. The basketball team's training is over, and she won't stay here for a long time.Kanzawa Norie thought so, and was about to bend down to pick up the schoolbag on the ground, but heard the red-haired boy call her name.Ever since Akashi called out the girl's name that day, the red-haired boy changed her name to her, and it was quite natural. "I have the key, I can stay here with you for a while longer."

In the first building after the training, there were other people besides the girl and Akashi.

"So hardworking." Kanzawa Norie glanced blankly at Midorima Shintaro who was still practicing shooting. Although he didn't have much contact with him, the character of the opponent who was very serious about everything was perfectly reflected. "Obviously I have cast so well, but I still have to work hard. This is really..."

Hearing this, Akashi lowered his head and glanced at the girl's shoes.

Because she had to stay in the basketball hall to help, the girl didn't change into leather shoes, and she was still wearing indoor shoes—even though they were not orthodox basketball shoes, they could still be used. "Do you want to try it?"

Kanzawa Norie couldn't understand what Akashi was saying for a while, "Huh?"

"Shoot."

The brown-haired girl blinked, "I'm not from the basketball club...is it okay?"

"Theoretically, at this time, Hall [-] is no longer the court of the basketball club." Akashi patted the ball casually and explained to her, "All Teiko students can use this place as they please."

He exploded the basketball that rebounded from the ground into his palm and handed it to the girl.Kanzawa Norie thought for a while, seemed to have thought of something interesting, pursed his lips and smiled, and took the dark orange sphere with both hands.It's as if the roles of each other have been reversed. If the scene of that night is to be completely reproduced, Akashi will probably hug her next, right? "Then... please give me more advice."
