[SD] Go to college, Shou Mitsui!

Mitsui Shou's man walked alone on the overpass, looking down at the passing vehicles below.Today he is alone.The former friends left one by one, and finally he was the only one left.

It's not that he didn't buy a mobile phone, he also exchanged phone numbers with Sakuragi and others before leaving.

But in the address book, there is always a place vacant. Under the name "Mizumi Kana", no phone number was left.

In the past two years, he also tried to send a reply according to the mailing address written in the letter, and the end of each time was: I bought a mobile phone, the number is XXXXXXXX, if you find it troublesome to write a letter, please call this number.

But from the next letter from Kana, there was no mention of a phone number.

That's right, for Xiangbei, apart from the basketball he loves and his buddies, this little girl is the only one left.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" She is not strong, even thinner than her peers.But it was such a little girl who couldn't help but feel reliable when she spoke with confidence.

Those eyes, which are especially big because of their thinness, seem to be able to reflect a burning look - not inferior to athletes who compete fiercely on the basketball court!

The Autumn National Sports competition will soon end.Since Zebei went to the United States, Sanno representing Akita Prefecture was like a tiger that lost a sharp tooth. Kanagawa County and Aichi County became the two seeded teams competing for the national championship without any suspense.

The strong combination of Hiroshi Mori and Morohoshi was really difficult to deal with. Mitsui supported the field until the last 8 minutes of the second half. Under the instruction of Coach Anzai, he still left the field.

"Coach Anxi..." Mitsui felt a little disappointed as he watched Ah Shen, who replaced him on the field.He sat beside Coach Anxi and remained silent.

"Look, Mitsui-kun," coach Anzai said after waiting for a long time, "the gap with Aichi County is still 6 points."

"There are two more three-pointers and it will be tied." Mitsui said.

"Yes."

"Ah-shen's defense is still a bit lacking, but as long as there is teamwork, he has nothing to say about three-pointers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Akagi made a split, and God's three-pointer went into the basket, and the score was only three points away.

"There are no shooters like me and him in Aichi County. As long as we are tied...they will probably have to fight very hard next."

"indeed so."

"And I was able to retire with success." Mitsui smiled helplessly. "Aichi County's defense is very good. To be honest, I don't even have the strength to open a soda now."

In fact, in yesterday's battle, after being followed by Sanno's defense experts, Mitsui's overdrawn physical strength since yesterday has not fully recovered until this morning.It is really a miracle to be able to run on the field until now!

A bottle of Pocari's soda can was obviously in his hand, but the trembling caused by excessive fatigue made him exhausted just holding the soda can.

"Please leave it to me." Coach Anxi said suddenly.He took the soda can from Mitsui's hand, and opened it with one click.

"Coach Anxi..."

The can returned to Mitsui's hands, and Coach Anxi said again: "Mitsui-kun, do you know why I let you play today until just now?"

"The more disadvantaged I am, the higher my shooting percentage is. The coach hopes that I can play at my true level."

Coach Anxi nodded: "Mitsui-kun, you scored a total of 26 points today, two free throws and eight three-pointers. Before you know it, your results have surpassed everyone on the court."

"But I'm still at the end..." Mitsui said sadly, "Coach Anxi, I often think that if I hadn't wasted two years, I would never be in such a mess today. In two years, I lost too many things, but this It's all because of me, my own fault...I..."

On the court, Rukawa's dunk and Ah Shen's another three-pointer, the Kanagawa team turned from a disadvantage to an advantage, and everyone cheered for them.

The atmosphere of the arena is so intense that no one will notice the corner of the rest area.Thus, the conversation between the two of them continued.

"Mitsui-kun, it's good that you think so." Amidst the cheers, coach Anxi's reflective glasses blocked his gaze, "but I don't want you to think so, especially now. The time that passes cannot be returned , time moves forward. In the future life, you will always lose more things. If you look back, you will find that what you gain and lose now is not worth mentioning.”

Mitsui couldn't see the coach's eyes.Three years ago, he came to Xiangbei because he was looking forward to coach Anxi, but the coach almost never took the initiative to chat with him as much as today.

"Thank you, Mr. Mitsui," said Coach Anxi, "You did your best. The team won because of you. This is an honor, not a regret. Don't think about yesterday's mistakes, but remember today's glory. You just have to remember that you are fine today."

The applause was overwhelming.

Everything was as Mitsui said: because there was no shooter, after the tie, the Aiwa team was a little tight on defense, Morishue Kangomitsu went off, and the Kanagawa team finally won the national sports championship with a two-point advantage.

It's a great game.Compared with Xia Tian's splendor, it is not far behind.

The players on the field were immersed in the joy of victory. Coach Anxi stood up and finally said quietly: "What you have lost will make you cherish it even more. Mr. Mitsui, you have grown more than what you lost in two years." .So many times you don’t need to stick to a certain position, think about it carefully, your true value has just been revealed..."

Mitsui wanted to ask something else, but that day, Coach Anxi's voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers.

"My...value..." On the way home late, Mitsui accidentally thought of Coach Anxi's words and couldn't help muttering to himself.

That was several days after the national sports match.

"What?" Kana, who was walking beside him, heard him muttering to himself.

"Ah... nothing, just thinking about the future," Mitsui changed the subject, "By the way, did Kana really skip class to watch my game?"

Kana shrugged and asked, "Didn't you rest before finishing the game?"

"Alas..." Mitsui sighed, "It seems that my upper limit of physical strength is over."

"I don't think so," Kana said seriously, "because the opponent is one of the best teams, and the people who come to watch Mitsui are also at the national level. If you are watched like that, no one will be able to bear it. Defensive scoring is already great, what more can you ask for?"

"But, I remember when I was in junior high school, I was stared at by four people," Mitsui said about his past, "It was still about ten seconds away, and I almost thought I was about to lose..."

Then at that time, coach Anxi appeared in front of him.

He handed the ball to Mitsui, and then told him: "You must not give up until the last moment. If you give up, the game will end early at that time."

He remembered this sentence and came to Xiangbei.However, coach Anxi never mentioned this matter again.

He remembered this sentence, but left the team on his own accord after the injury, and lost two years...

He was so bad back then.

"But then Mitsui-san won, right?" Kana suddenly interrupted Mitsui's thoughts, "I mean when I was in middle school."

"Ah, yes, it was a narrow victory..." Mitsui said shyly, "Thinking about it now, being defended by four people in junior high school would not be exhausted, but now... ah, thinking about it, I really can't be reconciled. ..."

"Mitsui-san, you seem to be a little lacking in confidence," Kana said, "Aside from physical strength, I think your performance is very good."

"really?"

"I've counted, starting from Shanwang, in the last two or three games, you have the highest score. Without you, Xiangbei and even Kanagawa will lose."

"..." Mitsui remembered that Coach Anxi probably meant the same thing.

Mitsui stopped, and Kana also stopped, and she looked at him suspiciously.

"So, what is my value?" Mitsui looked up, and the clear night sky was full of stars.Just as every star in the sky has its own place of existence, every person on the earth also has its own value of existence.

"I always thought I was going to be a basketball player and make it to the NBA -- as unrealistic a dream as that Rukawa guy."

"It's okay now, dreams are won with both hands!" Kana said.

"No, now I look at the future very realistically, Kana..." Mitsui crossed his hips, looking forward to the future with a bit of helplessness, "My technology is very good, this is what I am most proud of. But When it comes to physical fitness, there are many people with better skills than me, and their physical strength is better than mine. Athletes, in fact, the most important thing is physical strength, otherwise what are they called athletes?"

This problem is too realistic. In the past, Mitsui would not even bother to think about it.

But in the end, you still have to face it.

"And then? Are you going to give up?" Kana said disappointedly, "Then what's the point of me working so hard to give you tutoring?"

"No, I mean, I want to go to college," Mitsui said. "Even if I can't be a good athlete, I still have other ideals—maybe I'll be a very good coach!"

Coach Anxi said: Most of the time, you don’t need to stick to a certain position. Think about it carefully, your true value has just been revealed...

Well, the coach's bench is also a position.

Mitsui smiled wryly and thought: When Gao Yi first entered the Xiangbei Basketball Club, he had ambitiously said that he could take up any position.
