[SD] Go to college, Shou Mitsui!

, He mentioned you, he once said: 'You are a general with good qualifications. '"

"Anxi coaches him..."

"It was my former colleague," the coach said with a smile. "He came to me before the college entrance examination and recommended you. At that time, we all thought you were a good boy, but it was a pity that Xiangbei didn't make it to the quarterfinals that year, so we couldn't treat you well." Special recruitment... So in the end, it only depends on whether your homework can meet the standard. When the results came out, he and I were relieved. Well, Mitsui-kun can come to our school, it's really great."

"Yes...is it..."

"Have confidence in yourself," the coach patted him on the shoulder, and at the same time whispered playfully, "but don't tell Coach Anxi that I told you the above words, I'm afraid he will be embarrassed. Then Guy, it's easy to be shy even when you're old!"

Mitsui didn't know what to say, and his respect for Coach Anxi increased several layers.

His physical strength may only be like this all the time, but for the teaching of layout and skills, with the increase of experience, he can continue to improve.

Just like the way Kana taught him his homework, he can draw inferences from one instance and get more gains.

He didn't lose Kana's notes and materials, and kept them in a small room in the apartment.He would go to Xiangbei every month to get Kana's letter.

"To Mitsui-san," Kana wrote in the letter, "I'm fine! My body seems to be getting better and better recently, and your college entrance examination should be over now! How is it? Did you pass the exam well? Only today Under my guidance, if you are not satisfied, I will beat you!"

So Mitsui also replied according to the address: "I'm fine, kid, don't look down on me anymore! I passed the entrance examination of Hainan University, and the coaches there appreciate me very much, and I can still be with those guys from Hainan and Xiangyang. In terms of playing and studying, I keep the method you taught me, and I live a fulfilling life every day. To be honest, I can’t finish writing on a piece of paper. Have you remembered my home phone number? XXXXXXX, this number. I don’t know you It's the phone over there, so call here if you have time, isn't it more convenient to chat on the phone?"

But when it came to the next letter, Kana still started: "Brother Mitsui, I'm fine..."

I'm very good……

——That's what I always say at the beginning.

It went on for two years, but the letters sent by Kana became more and more yellow.

I'm very good……

--she says.

Me too……

— Mitsui thought.

During the cold and heat of spring and autumn, a batch of people from the basketball club in northern Hunan came and went.

Another year, a large number of junior high school students from Rukawa came to northern Hunan.

Xiangbei entered the National League and reached the top four.

Miyagi and Ayako graduated.

Rukawa became the captain.

Sakuragi protested strongly and gave him a second team...

Life is getting more and more lively.

Xiangbei is very strong!

Mitsui, who was standing in the auditorium watching the high school league, thought silently while eating potato chips: There was a year when he also stood where they were standing, and won in the end even if he was physically weak.

He would applaud every win for Shonhoku, and even shed tears after they won.

This is youth, fleeting youth, it is easy to cease to exist...

The siren of the ambulance came from far to near, Mitsui was taken aback, and returned to the present.

He was standing on the flyover two years after his memory, under the bridge, the ambulance just drove past.

The phone rang suddenly.

The name on the screen is De Nan.After graduating, De Nan stayed in his father's car repair shop to do odd jobs, and they never lost contact, occasionally calling a few friends to get together for a drink.

But what he was going to talk about on the phone today was not about the party.

"Little San, listen to me," De Nan said on the phone mysteriously, "I saw that!"

"See 'that'? What the hell are you doing?"

"No, I'm talking about Mizumi Kana... Hasn't she been writing to you? She also said that their whole family immigrated to the United States... That's a lie!"

"..."

"I saw her father! What a coincidence, I happened to take one of my injured brothers to the hospital, and I ran into him... Do you know? He is actually the doctor at the hospital where you often went to see your leg injury... ..."

Mizumi Kana, none of their family immigrated.

She is always in Japan.

And forever—all in Japan.

……

It was a cloudy day in December.The entire Kanagawa Prefecture, which has entered winter, is raining.

The cold rain fell into the collar, making people very uncomfortable.

Today, it will snow soon.

In the Xiangbei Basketball Club, there was not even a trace of cooling down.

Before I got close, I could hear loud slogans coming from the gymnasium.

"We are strong! Xiangbei is strong!"

The neat voices showed their determination.

"Even if you don't win the national competition this year, you will definitely win it next year! Don't forget these four words, the national domination!" This is Sakuragi's voice

"Do your best." The neither salty nor weak tone must be Rukawa.

"Smelly fox, don't hurt morale! If you don't want to be the captain, give me the captain's position!"

"Okay, it's not impossible to let you be the captain of Xiudou for a day."

"What did you say!!"

"Are you guys arguing again?" Suddenly appearing at the door, everyone in the gym was surprised.

"Little San!" Sakuragi yelled the loudest, his exaggerated reaction didn't look like he might become the captain at all.

Mitsui went to their game.

In the summer of the third year of high school, Sakuragi finally won the title of county high school MVP.

Xiangbei ranked among the top four in the country in the summer league and won the runner-up in the national competition in the winter game.

It was obviously only one step away, and the throne of the first place in the country was still not so easy to win.

The certificate of honor of the Xiangbei team occupies one wall of the lounge, and the juniors who joined after this will also be proud of it...

probably.

The history of having produced two show captains did not seem to be so glorious.

"Hey, did Xiao San see my heroic appearance on the court? You said you would skip class to watch it"

"Of course I watched it, and I recorded it. Congratulations, this year's MVP!" Mitsui congratulated.

"Really?! I must be very handsome in the video! And the way I receive the MVP trophy, I must be so handsome..."

"Yeah," Rukawa added behind his back, "When I was on stage, I stumbled and stumbled, and you will be the MVP who throws shit in front of the audience."

Sakuragi blushed and said loudly: "Damn fox, don't mention that!"

Everyone's laughter dissipated and they returned to reality.

Sakuragi and Rukawa, who are in the third grade, are also graduating.This is the question that every captain will eventually face.

Two years ago today and one year ago today, Akagi and Miyagi both stood at this place to bid farewell to the basketball team, and finally, their day has come.

Because Sakuragi's cultural class scores were really terrible, but his excellent performance was the focus of all parties, Hainan University and Shenzhen University almost simultaneously offered him an olive branch in the name of special recruitment.

In the end he chose Hainan University because of the many acquaintances.

But Mitsui knew that maybe it was because Haruko had revealed to Sakuragi the unfair treatment of Akagi by Shentai University, so he held his breath and would rather choose Hainan, where there are many acquaintances.

"You know? As long as you work hard, you can be like a genius, and you can go to college without the college entrance examination, so in the future, you need to practice basketball more and study less..."

Before finishing speaking, Mitsui kicked Mitsui hard on the ass: "What are you teaching my brothers! You still have to read the book carefully, don't listen to this kid's nonsense! Not everyone has his body Quality!"

Mitsui turned around and asked the cold Rukawa Kaede: "What about you? Are you still planning to go to the United States?"

"I also plan to go to Hainan." Rukawa Feng said.

Sakuragi folded her arms and said disdainfully: "Tch, anyway, your grades are not the same as mine, and you won't pass the exam."

"No," Rukawa, who is proficient in English, said in a low voice, "I have also received an invitation from Hainan."

"What a horse!" Sakuragi turned pale with shock, "I will take a fancy to you, a stinky fox, the physical education teacher in Hainan must be dazzled!"

"Big idiot! Before you think about this kind of problem, you should first think about what to do with the tuition fees of the university!"

This made Sakuragi choke.Everyone knows that Sakuragi's family has no money.It is very difficult for him to support himself alone, and the cost of college is absolutely impossible to finance by himself.

"University tuition, let me figure it out... ah...that..." Even if he stretched out ten fingers, he would not be able to figure it out until tomorrow.

"Forget it, Sakuragi," Mitsui patted Sakuragi on the head, "Don't worry, I really don't have any money that I can lend you. If it's the registration fee, the money I have with me now is enough."

As soon as he said that, the juniors in the basketball club looked at him with the meaning of "local tyrant".

"Xiao... Xiaosan... thank you so much!" Sakuragi was so grateful that she wiped her snot and tears on Mitsui's coat.

Then Mitsui yelled: "Asshole, these are new clothes, so dirty... As for the tuition fee, I can ask my family to borrow it, it will cost about 80 yen..."

"80 million!"

"Don't yell, the university in Tokyo is even more expensive, and the university in Kanagawa is cheap. You live close to your house, so you don't have to worry about food and lodging. It's already a good deal."

Mitsui thought, Sakuragi must be very glad that he chose Hainan University.

A wad of money was thrown on Sakuragi's head.

"Don't worry, Sakuragi," Mito Yohei leaned outside the door, "We found a good part-time job, come and work with us during the winter vacation, one person can earn 16 a month, five of us, 80
