[Comprehensive] The road to becoming a king

"Xiao Zheng?"

Although the IH final is just around the corner, the basketball club of Luoshan High School did not show any sense of tension before the game, and continued to carry out the usual training step by step every day.

In the gym, sweat had already soaked Akashi's entire clothes, and his breath had become disordered, so he barely stopped. The trainee at the side saw him stop and immediately handed him a towel.

Taking the towel with a blank face, Akashi was about to leave without saying a word. Mibuchi took out his coat from behind and handed it over, "Go take a shower and change clothes first, be careful not to get sick."

Akashi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't refuse to take the jacket.

Seeing Akashi leave, the team members who were also training beside him were very puzzled, "He is already such a genius, why does he torture himself like a masochist? Is this the persistence and desire for victory?"

Shibuchi smiled and didn't speak, but heard the cold voice from Akashi who thought he was far away and couldn't hear, "No, victory is a matter of course for me, it exists like breathing."

The rest of the team members looked at each other in blank dismay, a drop of cold sweat slowly streaming down their foreheads.Mibuchi on the side patted them on the shoulders, and then chased after them in the direction Akashi left.

"Xiaozheng!" After rushing to Akashi's side, Mibuchi could still feel Akashi's slight heavy breathing, and couldn't help frowning, "Xiaozheng, are you in good health? Really, you haven't been discharged from the hospital yet." A few months, won't there be any aftereffects of such high-intensity training?"

"There won't be any problems." Akashi said lightly.

Mibuchi didn't loosen his brows, but seeing that Akashi obviously didn't want to talk more, he stopped talking and changed the subject, "The IH finals are about to start, but it's a pity this time, we don't seem to be able to meet Makoto. It's cold."

"Heh," Akashi raised his lips slightly, raised his eyebrows, and cast a meaningful glance at Mibuchi, "What makes you think I'm looking forward to a duel with Seirin?"

"Hehehe," Shibuchi curled the corners of his mouth, "that day you and Tonghuang's trump card - Aomine Daiki 1on1..."

"Ok?"

"After the match with you, Aomine's state is really not in a state where he can go on to the next match." Mibuchi said meaningfully, "Xiaozheng, I hope Seirin will win."

"It's just a pity that Seirin's strength is too weak. Even if the ace is weakened to that extent, he still can't counterattack successfully, and not only this one, but also the two consecutive games are too hard to cheer up. , and I have no chance with IH."

The arc of Akashi's mouth gradually widened, causing Mibuchi beside him to frown, "Xiaozheng?"

"No, Seirin will lose, that's what I expected."

"!" Shibuchi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but slow down a little.

Akashi didn't explain anything further, the inscrutable arc of the corner of his mouth made people tremble, and then he continued to speak, but the content of his speech was even more incomprehensible to Mibuchi, "IH, I won't play."

"!" Shibuki stopped in his tracks, with a very complicated expression on his face.

"Don't worry, 'Generation of Miracles' won't have a single player."

Seeing the back of Akashi leaving alone, Mibuchi felt inexplicably chilly.

The towel covered Akashi's head, leaving a large shadow on his face, and the icy cold light in his golden eyes could not be seen, but the ironic arc at the corner of his mouth made people shudder.

I hope Seirin wins...

No, Seirin will win, and in the end I will... crush it!

After IH's defeat, Seirin did not give up hope, but set his goal on WC, the Winter Cup.Coupled with the return of the "five generals without a crown" Muji Teping, they are even more hopeful.

After a period of rigorous training, they finally ushered in a day of vacation, but even though it was a vacation, it was still related to basketball-street basketball games.

When signing up, they accidentally met many people who also came to participate in the competition, and then they were surprised by the news that Zhengbang actually lost.When everyone in Seirin saw the match scene and saw the person who defeated Zhengbang, Kagami Taiga was stunned in shock.

"Why are you here...Ice room...Tatsuya..."

"Oh?" The boy on the field turned around, also a little surprised, "Ah, big me?"

Kagami Taiga began to recall the past and looked out of control, which reminded Heizi of the days in the Teiko period. He picked up Tetsuya No. [-] and brought him close to Kagami's face. Cai said in a flat tone, "In any case, this is the fault of Vulcan-kun's mercy in the end. Himuro-kun likes basketball very much, and he doesn't want anyone to abuse him in this regard, especially if this person is someone he values. "

As Heizi said this, he remembered the match with Emperor Tong in his mind, and his heart sank.

Akashi-kun...why did you do that?

Vulcan finally wakes up after Heizi's words, and decides to have a showdown with Himuro Tatsuya.Himuro smiled to express his acceptance, but he focused his attention on Heizi who looked a little strange.

"Um... sorry, who are you?"

Compared to other people's tangled expressions, Heizi was very calm, "I'm Tetsuya Heizi, meeting for the first time."

"Ah, you are Kuroko Tetsuya." Hearing this name, Himuro Chen also suddenly realized.

"Huh? Tatsuya, do you know Heizi?"

"Ah, because there is a guy in our team who has been talking about it for a while. Although it's a nickname, I think that person is you." Himuro Chen also explained.

The street basketball competition has also reached its final round. On one side is the Seirin team, and on the other side is a pair consisting mainly of Himuro Tatsuya. At the beginning of the game, Kagami Taiga and Himuro Tatsuya jumped for the ball. Just then, the basketball thrown high was easily intercepted by a delicious stick.

"...Long time no see, Ziyuan-kun." Heizi looked solemn.

"Ah, this is not Hei Zi, tsk, I really hate your serious face." After unhurriedly tearing apart the delicious stick, Atsushi Murasaki turned his gaze away and walked slowly in front of Hei Zi. The body formed a strong sense of oppression in front of Heizi, and he stretched out his hand, "Seriously, I want to destroy you immediately..."

"!" Seirin, who was traveling with him for a year, was startled, but the next second he went to see Murasakibara stuffing the torn delicious stick into Kuroko's mouth.

"Give it to you, Xiao Chi, give it to me."

"Cough, cough, cough." Heizi choked on the delicious stick that was suddenly stuffed into his mouth (random entry: facing the wall in random thoughts), Heizi hurriedly pushed away Ziyuan's hand, and was about to spit out the delicious stick, but when he saw Ziyuan After showing a slightly threatening expression, he swallowed it calmly, finished eating the delicious stick, and wiped his mouth seriously, before Heizi raised his head and looked at Ziyuan, "Sorry, Ziyuan-kun, I don't understand what you mean. "

Ziyuan half-closed his eyes, squatted down and put one hand on Heizi's head and rubbed it vigorously, "Heizi can't do it, you've already eaten the delicious stick, so you can't have Xiaochi, otherwise even if Xiaochi is angry, I will I'll crush you too..."

Murasakibara's tone was lazy, but what he said made Seirin Yisen tremble again.

"Mr. Ziyuan?" Heizi patted Ziyuan's hand away, frowning slightly.

"Well, anyway, you just need to lose in the end as a matter of course, but Hei Zi can't win anyway."

"..." Heizi clenched involuntarily on both sides, and Kuroko's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "No, Murasakihara-kun, I will win in the end, and I will defeat you together with Seirin and the 'Generation of Miracles'! "

Zi Yuan became even more gloomy, "No way, I am the one who will defeat Xiao Chi, the weak ones should stand aside."

Speaking of which, Kuroko finally heard the point of Murasakihara, and made a guess from it, "Did Murasakihara-kun make any agreement with Akashi-kun?"

Murasakihara turned around and walked to Himuro Tatsuya's side, "Ah-ha, I can come back if I win Xiao Chi. I want Xiao Chi to come back, so please don't get in the way."

Murasakihara and Himuro Tatsuya also said a few words before they were about to leave. Seirin, who was behind him, began to whisper: "Wait for Yangquan to enter the national competition, so is this guy going to play?"

"No, no." Heizi heard the discussion in front of him and said, "No one from 'Generation of Miracles' played."

"Eh? Why?"

Ziyuan in front of him stopped, and turned his head to look at Heizi gloomily again, "What to do, no matter how I think about it, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Seirin took a step back in shock.

"Because it was Akashi-kun's order." Heizi said flatly, "Murasakihara-kun, I'm sorry, I don't know what Akashi-kun means by doing this."

"Hey~ It's just that Xiao Chi is eccentric and wants you to win. Hmph, you are so weak that I can crush it with just one finger."

"... Murasakihara-kun..." Kuroko felt a little helpless when he said this, but at this moment he was more and more puzzled by Akashi's actions, and at the same time he was accompanied by anxiety.

Vulcan, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke at this time, facing the "Generation of Miracles", how could he be silent and let the other party leave without a duel, but the communication between the two of them once again made Seirin stunned.

"Ziyuan-kun is... not good at anything other than basketball." After hesitating for a while, Heizi said blankly, "But he is invincible in basketball, and he can't even control it."

"Huh? Isn't that scary."

"Yes, Mr. Ziyuan once set a record of one person scoring [-] points in a match."

"!" The crowd could no longer express in words, "It's really... a monster!"

"The only one who can control him is Akashi-kun, ah, Akashi-kun is the former captain of the 'Generation of Miracles'."

Kiyoshi Teppei looked sideways.

In the final game, although Zi Yuan played because of Vulcan's inferior provocation, in the end, it was still unresolved due to the weather.

When the two parties parted, Heizi finally said to Ziyuan very seriously, "Mr. Ziyuan, no matter what you say, I will stick to my beliefs and I will never lose!"

On the way back, I looked at Heizi who looked erratic and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "It's such a sinister way of greeting home. Why, do you have a bad relationship?"

"No, as a person, I still like him very much, but as a player, I don't get along with him."

"Aha?"

"Zi Yuan-kun doesn't like playing basketball, but because of his innate factors and basketball talent, even if he is not motivated, he still became a leading center."

"So he feels that as long as he has talent and talent, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. On the contrary, he will feel uncomfortable with those who obviously like basketball but have no talent. That's what he once said to me."

".. This sentence sounds very unpleasant!" The corner of Vulcan's mouth twitched.

"Murashihara didn't actually join the basketball club at the beginning, right?" Kiyoshi Teppei suddenly said, "And the captain of 'Generation of Miracles' didn't join the basketball club at first either."

"Ehhhh!!"

"Yes, I don't know the reason why Murasakihara-kun didn't join the basketball club, but, Akashi-kun..." Kuroko's eyes darkened, "It's because Akashi-kun has been in a coma before..."

"What? Is your captain in poor health?"

Thinking of those red golden eyes, Heizi felt a little heavy in his heart, "No, I don't know the specific reason, even... I only found out later that Akashi-kun was in a coma and hospitalized."

"Heizi, you really don't have a good relationship with them, but you can imagine that they are all geniuses that are rare in a century, so it's very stressful in front of them!"

"..." Heizi was silent for a while, shook his head, and looked seriously at Seirin's curious eyes one by one, "That's not the case, although they are all very talented, but..." Heizi frowned , and finally said in a low voice, "At first I was still in the Third Army, and they were all in the First Army. The first person I met was Aomine-kun, and then Akashi-kun...I joined the First Army because of Akashi-kun."

"!"

"Actually, if there was no Akashi-kun at the time, I think I would have given up on basketball. It was Akashi-kun who gave me the opportunity to enter the first team and even become a starter."

"Then...why are you..." Vulcan said hesitantly.

"After we won the second consecutive championship, I suddenly found that basketball seemed...not so enjoyable."

"What is the meaning of playing basketball? Is it to enjoy the process of fighting hard with your teammates, or is it just for the moment of glory when you win the championship?"

"Until we won the three-peat, I found that the 'Generation of Miracles' had gone farther and farther, and playing basketball was not a thing for them to enjoy or even... hate it."

"It's Akashi." Kiyoshi Teppei said flatly.

Now it was Heizi's turn to be surprised.

"I used to play against him, and I always felt that he couldn't see the slightest enthusiasm for basketball in his eyes, so I was very resistant to him at that time, ah ha ha ha." Muji Teppei scratched his head, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

"Murashihara-kun and Midorima-kun actually started playing basketball because of Akashi-kun, but for some reason, Akashi-kun who brought them into the basketball circle deeply loathes basketball."

"Isn't it weird, why play basketball if you hate it? Also, don't you think he's purposefully looking for it and forming the 'Generation of Miracles'?"

"? But Aomine-kun..." Aomine-kun joined the basketball club because... Kuroko was stunned, because he suddenly remembered that Akashi-kun challenged the captain at that time when he first entered school. The team members on Akashi-kun's side are Akashi-kun himself, Murasakihara-kun, Midorima-kun, and... Aomine-kun (passer-by:...), it's really strange, why is that?

"Hey Hey hey!"

Heizi woke up suddenly, watching Vulcan waving his big hand in front of his eyes.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Tsk, it's time to get out of the car."

"..." Heizi got out of the car with the big team in a state of anxiety, and finally he said very seriously, "I will never guess what Akashi-kun is thinking, but I still hope that Akashi-kun can experience the fun of basketball .after all...."

"Forcing yourself to do something you don't want to do is really..."

"It's so sad."
