[Comprehensive] When the green room is crossed

Nearly a week has passed since the day when Sakuragi challenged Midorima, the basketball team was unexpectedly calm during this week, even Sakuragi, who always loves to be tossed about, suddenly restrained his temper and calmed down for some reason. Practice the ball.The only thing he did when he faced Midorima who had slapped him in the face was to declare war on Midorima with a calm face on the second day: "Midorima, you green vegetable, I, the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi, I will definitely beat you in the future! Just wait and see!" Then he went to practice regardless of Midorima's reaction.

Midorima's reaction to this was to sneer: "Heh." He neither agreed nor objected, but anyone with a discerning eye could see his dissatisfaction with Sakuragi's random nickname - green vegetables?Could he have had a worse name? !Are you planning to defeat him mentally if you can't match him in strength?He really has never encountered such a thing!

Midorima, who was nicknamed for the first time in his memory, said to Sakuragi's behavior-slightly... heartbroken.

And other members of the basketball team who were fortunate enough to hear the above content unanimously expressed that they were in a very delicate mood. They couldn't help laughing after glancing at Midorima's hair-in fact, Sakuragi's nickname is really full. Appropriate hehe~~ But because they were worried about causing Midorima's resentment, they had to try their best to keep their expressions indifferent, even if they were actually laughing in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it.

It's just that the people in the basketball department are willing to give Midorima face, but it doesn't mean that other people are also willing to give him this face, for example, some people who are watching the excitement in the auditorium now——

Gao Gong, who was wearing weird-shaped glasses, shyly laughed a few times with his big belly, "Did you hear that? Sakuragi called that Midorima Green Vegetable! It's so appropriate hahahaha~~" Not at all He didn't take into account the thoughts of the person who was listening below.

Noma and Danu also booed and said, "Yes, yes, Sakuragi's nickname has risen!" They didn't restrain their exaggerated laughter.

Mito glanced at Midorima, who had been silent for a long time, and laughed along with him, "It's a good thing he can think of such a name~~"

Their laughter was so loud that the people practicing below could hear it clearly. They all carefully paid attention to Midorima's reaction. In their opinion, Midorima's temper is not the type to be provoked. .

And Midorima naturally heard their teasing, he frowned slightly as he watched the vague gazes of the people around him.

In the end, he pushed his glasses under everyone's worried eyes, and said lightly: "It's really boring." It doesn't seem to be affected, and it's still the same as before.

Seeing his reaction, Gao Gong was amazed at his terrifyingly accurate shooting percentage and at the same time felt very bored. He complained with some dissatisfaction: "It seems that Sakuragi is not valued by others at all." You see, that green room didn’t respond at all—”

Noma also opened his dull eyes wide and muttered: "But that's true, the two of them are not on the same level at all, if that Midorima cares about Sakuragi, the million-year-old exit king, it's called a drop in price, right?" ?” After he finished speaking, he laughed foolishly, as if he had thought of something funny.

Da Nan tugged at his shoulder and also agreed meanly: "You're right, you're right, people don't care about Sakuragi, how can the other party care about him after a few blocks away from Sakuragi? Maybe it depends on Sakuragi's presence. Howling there, he is laughing in his heart~~" He taunted Sakuragi unceremoniously.

Mito laughed, and wiped away the non-existent tears at the corners of his eyes with his hands, "Yes, yes, Ikebana is still far behind!" Midorima's level is estimated to be only Rukawa's. Comparable?

Sakuragi jumped in anger at the bottom, he pointed at the four of them angrily and yelled: "Hurry up and shut up, four of you! Damn it—" How could he have such a group of spoilers who just made fun of him? friend! ?

After being yelled at so viciously by him, the four members of the Sakuragi Legion were not worried at all. Instead, they looked proud of their plot. They clapped each other and laughed, "Hahaha, Sakuragi is angry! He became angry from embarrassment. Hahaha~~" It seemed that he was very proud of the fact that he had offended the other party.

Sakuragi yelled angrily below, but there was nothing he could do about them.

Although Midorima kept his subordinates, but after listening to such a farce, his mind could not help but become active-he was very surprised that there is such a way of getting along in this world... If it is a friend, it should be more Is it more considerate to be friendly?So what's going on with these people looking like this now?

He didn't believe that Sakuragi and those people were not friends, but it was precisely because he knew they were friends that he was puzzled-this weird way of attacking each other for fun and laughing at each other's embarrassing things as excitement The thought circuit of the point... He really couldn't understand it.

If there are really people in this world who take pleasure in making fun of their friends and wanting to see them embarrassing, then such people are really rare...

Thinking of this, the movements of his subordinates suddenly paused for a second. Mitsui, who had been observing his movements not far away, also noticed that his face suddenly turned into a somewhat incomprehensible stupefaction. Did you suddenly think of something?

But it is impossible for Luma to tell him what he thinks in his heart, because his sudden loss of consciousness now is because he thinks of a person, a person who is associated with a few people in the Sakuragi Legion, a person who does not exist people in this world.

Midorima's thoughts were complicated. He pursed his lips and threw the ball into the basket without continuing to practice. Instead, he went out for a run after talking to Miyagi. Miyagi looked at his back in confusion. Ayako, "What's wrong with Midorima? She seems to be in a bad mood."

Caizi rolled her eyes unbecomingly, and said angrily, "If someone called me such an ugly nickname, I would be in a bad mood. That guy Sakuragi really dares to mess with anyone." No matter what Said should also consider the target ah!And his taste is bad enough.

Miyagi scratched his cheeks with a dry smile, "He just has this kind of personality, I guess he can't change it, Midorima is not the only one who suffered from his poisonous tongue." Even Sakuragi, who is familiar with him, dares to give others nicknames. For example, he is actually called Fujima Candidate, and he is also called Amu middle-aged man... He is really courageous.

Caizi and him looked at each other, obviously thinking of the same aspect as him, and finally they both sighed at the same time, and they didn't know why.

Midorima, who was running at a constant speed on the playground, didn't know the content of their guesses, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He wasn't the kind of person who would care about these things.All he was thinking about now was the other person, the one he didn't know whether to call his friend or not.

He took deep breaths regularly, matching the pace of his feet, but there were many things in his head.

He thought that he also seemed to have a... friend who was similar in nature to the Sakuragi Legion.

——Takao Kazunari, his partner in Xiude, often enjoys watching his jokes, and always seizes every opportunity to make fun of him, but at the same time, he is also his good partner in the game, and he often works hard in his daily life Carry his people.

——The other party should be regarded as his friend, right?Although he never admitted this, he never denied it either. Of course the servants were just joking.

Midorima recalled the way Takao called him "Xiaozhen" and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful—takao probably regarded him as a friend, right?

Although he never said it, although he always put on a disgusted face towards Takao, but in fact, every time he saw him walking beside him with a smile regardless of his sarcasm, the feeling in his heart... or not bad.

And now, to be honest, he still wants to see Takao again, after all, there is no one in this world who would call him "Xiaozhen" and dare to tease him...

The steps under Midorima's feet did not change at all, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see the expression inside, but if someone observed carefully at this time, he could find the faint The lonely breath of the appointment.

After Midorima finally sorted out the rare melancholy and returned to the gymnasium, he saw the situation on the field... something seemed wrong?

I saw that Sakuragi and Akagi were confronting each other in the arena, as if they were arguing about something, and the people around them all looked embarrassed as they wanted to stop it but didn't know how to stop it.He approached them frowning, and then felt someone tug at the hem of his clothes.

He looked to the side and found that the person pulling him was Mitsui. He frowned and asked, "Senior, what happened?" Isn't the relationship between Sakuragi and Akagi-senpai usually pretty good?Although Sakuragi always pissed off Akagi, it wouldn't cause so many people to watch, right?

Mitsui glanced at the two people in the center of the encirclement, then lowered his voice and explained to him who didn't know why: "Actually speaking, it's Sakuragi's fault. Originally, he and Akagi played well. He suddenly asked Akagi to come back and rejoin the basketball team, and Akagi naturally refused, and then they quarreled like this." He summed up the matter in a few words, and wrinkled his nose helplessly after he finished speaking, "Although I know that Akagi has retired It's normal to have a department, but without him our strength has indeed regressed a lot."

After hearing what he said, Midorima didn't have any special reaction, he just said in a light tone: "Actually, I have always been a little confused, senior."

"Oh? What is it?" Mitsui became more energetic. There are not many opportunities to guide his juniors, especially the one in front of him.

Midorima glanced at Akagi not far away, with a sullen face and obviously in a bad mood, "I remember that Akagi-senpai is the leading center in the county, and his skills are very good."

Mitsui puffed out his chest slightly as if he was honored, "Of course, Akagi is the leading center in the country, and his strength is beyond doubt!" At that time, it was only Akagi who led them to where they are today.

Midorima's expression was indifferent, "Akagi-senpai's grades are not good?"

Mitsui's eyes widened, "How is that possible?! Akagi is one of the top students!" He seemed to recall the nightmare of his previous tutoring, "But what's the problem with asking these questions?" Forgive him for his lack of IQ. Understand exactly what the other person means.

Midorima said in a neutral tone, "I'm just curious. Since Akagi-senpai isn't just unqualified in technology, or doesn't have poor grades and needs to work hard before the exam, why doesn't he stay and play in the winter competition?" At least in Xiude Well, all the main players in the third grade stayed. Even though their training time is much less than before, they didn't say they would give up the final game.

Among them, Senior Miyaji spent more practice time than the first graders... Although there is also a relationship between Senior Miyaji's good grades.

Mitsui was surprised that he could say such a thing so easily, "Midorima, why do you say that... Akagi is already in the third grade. It stands to reason that he should concentrate on preparing for the entrance exam, and he will not participate in club activities anymore. The school They will also ask us to withdraw from the club and focus on studying." It is also because of this that they will respect and understand Akagi and Mumu's choice.

Midorima gave him an inexplicable look, which almost gave him goosebumps, "But Mitsui-senpai, why are you still here?" Since Akagi with good grades didn't even stay, he didn't think Mitsui's The results will be even better than Akagi.

Mitsui's eyes flickered averted, "Well, ahem, anyway, my grades won't allow me to pass the college entrance examination, so I might as well try my best to perform well in the winter competition, and maybe I can get a recommended spot." It is also the result of his careful consideration.

Midorima was even more puzzled, "Senior, if your goal is to get a recommendation from the university, isn't the ranking you can get in the winter competition very important? How far does the senior think that Xiangbei, who lacks a powerful center, can go? What about it?" No matter how outstanding an individual's performance is, it's not as good as the top of the whole team, right?There are too many teams participating in the competition, and there will always be a shortage of talents.Besides, he is also very aware of Xiangbei's current shortcomings, so since he knew Akagi's strength, he sincerely hoped that Akagi would come back.

However, because he just joined Xiangbei, he is soft-spoken, and he is not as powerful as the old team members, so even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he can only find an opportunity to speak them out.Originally, he planned to talk to Miyagi or the coach in the next few days, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

——The words of Sakuragi Hanamichi, a beginner who was treated differently by Akagi-senpai, should be more influential than his words, right?

Mitsui stared at Midorima's flickering eyes, and suddenly felt that the other party had wanted to say these words a long time ago, so he asked uncertainly, "You, Midorima, have long wanted Akagi to come back." Really?" The reasons one after another seemed to be rehearsed!

Midorima didn't answer him directly, but asked instead: "Senpai, don't you want Akagi-senpai to come back?"

Mitsui scratched his hair irritably, and said in a dull tone, "I really think so, but it's also related to Akagi's future, we can't be too selfish, right? He also has his own freedom, so there's no need to force him. "If he is willing to give up his teammates who have fought side by side, how can he do it? !

Midorima raised the corner of his mouth and showed a weird smile, "I don't think it's forced, senior, Akagi-senpai, he should also want to come back." You can tell from the desire for basketball in the other party's eyes.

Mitsui blinked for no reason, then followed his gaze to Akagi's direction.

The dispute between the two over there has reached a heated stage——

Akagi glared at Sakuragi with a livid face, "Sakuragi! Stop messing around, I've already quit the basketball club! How can I come back again!?"

Not to be outdone, Sakuragi stared back at him, "What's wrong with this! Go back to the gorilla if you want! Who will object? You tell this genius! This genius will help you solve him!" The last sentence It's just embarrassing.

Akagi exhaled forcefully from his nose, "I'm a third grader! I'm going to go to university next year, how can I play basketball with you again!?"

Sakuragi raised his head and was not defeated by his aura at all, "Little San is also in the third grade! Why isn't he worried? Besides, isn't your study much better than Xiao San, the gorilla? What if he doesn't worry about you? Worried?"

Mitsui, who was taken as a negative example, couldn't help coughing lightly—he was really lying down while standing.

Akagi sighed heavily, not knowing how to continue communicating with him, "Mitsui...we are different, Sakuragi, we cannot be compared together." How could Mitsui and his situation be the same?He is a person who wants to take the entrance examination seriously, and Mitsui wants to use the recommended places to go to university.

Sakuragi unceremoniously revealed his shortcoming: "But I heard that after you quit the basketball team, you were distracted even in class. Do you still have the nerve to say that it is for learning? Gorillas, don't lie!"

Having been exposed, Akagi blushed in embarrassment and said gruffly, "That's none of your business, Sakuragi!" This must have been leaked by that fellow Mumu!It's disgusting!When did Mu Mu rebel! ?

Sakuragi was so dissatisfied that he almost jumped up from the ground. Regardless of the existence of the people around him, he shouted loudly: "Gorilla, you obviously want to come back to play basketball! But you keep trying to save face and refuse to come back! I really don't understand you Already!" He was so excited that he even forgot that he called himself a "genius".

"You idiot, I'm not trying to save face!" Akagi couldn't help but knocked him a chestnut.

Sakuragi let out a pain and covered the top of his head and asked him, "Then why do you say you don't want to come back? Don't you like basketball? Don't you want to play basketball with us?"

Akagi pursed his lips tightly. He glanced at the people around him who were eagerly looking forward to his answer. He suddenly became nervous and didn't know how to express his feelings.

He stared at his broad palms. Just now he used these hands to cover the Sakuragi hot pot and gave him a hard dunk. Even in the past, he had used these hands to block countless opponents from their hands. Got a lot of points back...

But now he will use these hands to hold the books and no longer have the chance to use them on the field...

Sakuragi interjected: "Gorilla, don't you want to dominate the country with us?"

Akagi stared at him blankly, and repeated in a murmur: "...to dominate the world?" Wasn't this his dream?It's just that after the summer passed, he had no chance.

Sakuragi nodded, "Yes, you said we will dominate the country together!" His eyes were full of confidence.

Akagi slowly looked around at the team members standing around, then clenched his hands tightly, feeling a sense of frustration suddenly welling up in his heart——

He is not reconciled!How could he be willing to stop touching his favorite basketball without winning a national championship? !He has not touched the national championship trophy with his hands, so why is he willing to only hold a pencil from now on! ?

He lowered his head and lowered his voice and said, "Everyone...do you all think so?"

Sakuragi nodded because he didn't know: "Of course!" He turned to look at the others.

The others also hurriedly nodded and echoed: "Yes, Akagi-senpai!" They really thought so, so Sakuragi, stop staring at them with such vicious eyes!It's so scary!

"...Then," Chi Mu took a deep breath and raised his head. He said the second half of the sentence slowly, "You don't mind me, who quit halfway, joining you again?" I found his uneasiness hidden under the calm words.

Everyone in the basketball team couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

They didn't really react until Sakuragi yelled and rushed up to pat Akagi's shoulder, and then cheered and rushed to Akagi's side to express their joy.

Mitsui looked at them huddled together dumbfoundedly, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at Midorima, "This is really a miraculous development, but generally speaking, it's just as you expected, isn't it?" This is the purpose of not forgetting the other party.

Midorima said without changing his face: "Ah, it's not bad in general." With Akagi, their goal of dominating the country is finally not so far away.

Not far away, Akagi Haruko hugged Caizi emotionally, and kept muttering, "Brother is so kind!"

Miyagi curled his lips and said, "Tsk, I should have said that a long time ago, the boss is really slow!" But the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

This day is undoubtedly a happy day for the Xiangbei basketball team, because the Xiangbei pillar they rely on will finally return to them again, and they will take another big step forward on the road to the winter championship.
