Probably because today is the final of the Winter Cup, so many people came to watch the match. Nana sat in the auditorium and looked at Heizi who was cheered by the audience as soon as he came out. She felt something was wrong.
Isn't Heizi's characteristic that he doesn't seem to have this person even when he is playing on the field, and he is called the sixth man of phantom because of his low presence?Why is it getting so much attention now?
However, she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she could only silently watch the game below. Although she had been with Akashi for a long time, she still didn't know much about the rules of basketball, and she was a little dazed.
What foul tactics, what anklebreaker, people around have been discussing in whispers, but it sounded too professional, she didn't know what it meant.
And it seems that Luoshan has been suppressing Seirin, but the rhythm of the game is very weird. It seems that he has been dragged by Seirin since the third quarter.
...I wish someone could explain it to her.
Nana watched silently as the attacks of Reo Mibuchi and Kotaro Hayama were constantly blocked, and the situation on the field gradually became stalemate. She didn't know what happened, but it turned out that Akashi was defending at the rear alone, and the rest of the team was attacking. Condition.
Even later, even the attack became Akashi alone.
However, even so, Seirin still couldn't stop Akashi, and kept losing points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Akashi's ball was intercepted by Kagami and Kuroko. Although it was only a ball lost, after that, Akashi's state became a little strange, as if he was in a trance .
Not only can't keep up with the rhythm of the team, even the ball thrown to him will be intercepted. Akashi will lose the ball, which is simply impossible for Luoshan's players. Nana clearly heard the doubts of the people beside her The discussion became louder——
"What's wrong with Akashi? Could it be that he's not feeling well?"
"Tackled so hit?"
"Don't be kidding, it's just a steal. How can someone like the captain be hit by something like that?"
"Maybe it's because Akashi's being robbed has never happened before, so it hit him so hard?"
"Really...is Akashi's mind so fragile?"
Nana frowned slightly, and the strange feeling in her heart became more and more intense. Although what the people around her said was not unreasonable, she suddenly remembered what Akashi said to her after his personality changed——
Another He was born to win.
Judging from the current trend on the court, Seirin's aura is getting stronger and the point difference is shrinking. There is indeed a tendency that Luoshan may lose.
Could it be that the personality in the body began to change again?
Luo Shan quickly called a timeout.
"The coach will replace Akashi. Akashi like this is completely useless on the court..."
"It's so miserable...Maybe it's a disaster."
"Hey...wait a minute, Senior Dai seems to be losing his temper with the captain, that's awesome."
"...How dare you lose your temper with that Akashi, Senior Dai doesn't want to continue to be the starter?"
"After all, it's the third grade. This is his last competition."
"Ah... that's what I said."
However, unexpectedly, Akashi didn't seem to be angry because of Dai Qianxun's reprimand, but stood up and bowed to his teammates and coach, and then said something with an apologetic smile.
However, after such a distance, none of the members sitting in the auditorium knew exactly what happened, they could only look at each other blankly, and they probably had the same thought in their hearts——
...This can't be a fake Akashi.
After getting the opportunity from the coach to allow him to play again, Akashi breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head to look at the auditorium, and saw Nana who was also quite conspicuous in the crowd at a glance, and she was also looking at him in a daze.
He couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile.
Really... long time no see.
Although I don't know what happened, but after the game restarted, Luoshan seemed to have grasped the rhythm of the game again, even better than before.
Akashi has returned to his identity as a point guard, assisting his teammates with wide vision and precise passing. Although his performance is not as impressive as before, it seems that Luoshan's strength has been mobilized by him. The high-spirited Seirin suppressed it.
However, just when everyone thought that Luoshan would win the game, Seirin seemed to be on the hook all of a sudden. When both of them began to lose their energy, the smoothness of the cooperation of all the team members rose sharply. The flow of clouds and flowing water is dazzling, as if just one look can convey each other's hearts, and the score gap has been narrowed again.
The whole game was full of twists and turns, and the people who watched it were frightened, but time was running out.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Luoshan fouled and let Seirin get a free throw. Now the score on the court is that Luoshan is higher, which means that Seirin's free throw must not be scored, and then everything is bet On rebounding.
Everyone knew this very well in their hearts, and almost tensed their nerves waiting for the last ball. However, after the ball hit the basket, Kiyoshi Tehei, one of the "five generals without a crown", grabbed the ball and quickly Pass the ball to attack Luoshan, and when the ball reaches Heizi, Heizi has already run under the basket——
The entire audience held their breath at this moment. Will Heizi choose to pass the ball here, or shoot directly with the phantom?
Heizi hesitated for a moment, then raised the ball and took a shooting posture. Nana was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Akashi rushing towards him, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately stood up nervously, grabbed the railing and shouted: "No! ! It's a pass!"
However, it was too late, when Kuroko was about to steal the ball after Akashi took off, he passed the ball to Kagami on the side, and Kagami, who had jumped earlier, used an alley-oop to slam the ball into the basket .
The whistle sounded and the game was over.
The winning school of the Winter Cup is Seirin High School.
The ribbons of celebration fell in the arena, and there were cheers of Seirin's victory. Nana stared blankly at Akashi who was standing alone on the court with her back turned to her, and she still hadn't reacted.
Akashi... lost?
**
After the awards ceremony, each team returned to their lounges to change clothes. Nana waited silently against the wall outside the door, until the door clicked, and she recovered and looked up, only to find that Akashi had already stood In front of her: "...Xiao Zheng."
His strange eyes had returned to their original appearance, and then he rubbed her head with his hands with a gentle expression: "What's wrong? You look so sad."
"..." Nana lowered her eyes, then stretched out her hand and carefully grabbed the corner of his coat, "Xiao Zheng...isn't he also sad?"
Akashi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, took her hand and walked out: "Although losing feels terrible, it is precisely after tasting the taste of failure that I understand the meaning of victory better, and... and A lot more important than winning."
What is gained by victory will be lost after defeat?No, this idea is wrong, at least——
"Nai Nai, I am very happy to see you again."
"...Huh?" Nana was taken aback, and raised her head to look into his eyes, "...As expected, have you changed?"
Compared with the fierce and powerful Akashi before, the current Akashi seems to have become gentler, as if returning to... the person she first met.
"Ah, it's not so dull this time," Akashi said with a smile in his voice, "It took you a long time to realize when you changed it last time."
"No way... I feel a little too..." Nana pouted, and was led by him on the way home, but before she walked out of the gymnasium, Akashi suddenly let go of her, and then frowned slightly : "Nai Nai, cancel the magic of realization."
"Eh?" Nana was stunned. Although she didn't understand why, she canceled the magic obediently. Akashi gave her a sideways glance, then suppressed the smile on her face, and walked out of the gym expressionlessly.
After walking a few steps, a man in a black suit came out of the black car, and then quickly walked towards Akashi, stopped in front of him and nodded politely: "Master, the president is waiting for you."
"Thank you, I understand." Akashi lowered his eyes, the emotion in his eyes was a little dark, and then walked towards the car that came to pick him up.
When he lost the game, he knew that such a day would come, but he didn't expect his father to be faster than he thought.
**
After arriving at the residence in Tokyo, Akashi followed the butler into the study room, and the butler withdrew after completing the task, and then gently closed the door, leaving only Akashi Seijuro and Akashi Seishomi in the room.
And his father, Akashi Seishomi, the patriarch of the Akashi Zaibatsu, was sitting in front of the shogi board, holding a chess piece in his hand and meditating on the board.
"Seijuro, what do you think the next step in this game of chess should be?" Akashi Seitomo asked him in a low voice while staring at the chessboard without looking up.
Akashi's eyes fell on the chessboard in front of Akashi Seiyuki. Kakuyuki and Guima each threatened the king, and it seemed that it was already a dead game. He was silent for a while, then walked slowly to sit in front of Akashi Seiyuki, and then The golden general who was holding this side moved diagonally, blocking the direction of Guima's attack.
"Well, a very correct judgment," Akashi Seitomo's tone was calm and unchanged, "It seems that your chess skills have not regressed, but you lost the basketball game to a little-known school, right?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Father." Akashi replied calmly.
Even if Seirin is not well-known, he did lose to a school that had established a basketball club for only two years. There is no need to defend himself on this point.
"It seems that you have accepted the fact that you have failed," Akashi Seishomi finally lifted his eyes from the chessboard, looked sharply at Akashi who was sitting in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "You forgot that being a member of the Akashi family The heir of the industry, is defeat not allowed?"
"No, I haven't forgotten," Akashi frowned slightly, "In the past, I did regard victory as my duty and responsibility. No matter what you do, you must win. If you lose, you will lose everything, because what you get from victory , will eventually be lost because of defeat... However, this has created my weakness, and I have never understood what victory means."
He looked straight at Akashi Seiyu without evasion: "But after I have tasted the taste of defeat, I will be more eager to win. I don't have to win, but I want to win from the bottom of my heart."
"It's just a loser's sophistry," Akashi Seitomo snorted coldly, and couldn't deny his words, "Besides that, there is one more thing, there are rumors that you have a girlfriend, isn't it?"
Akashi's eyes moved, and he looked at Nana who was sitting next to him, but Akashi Masomi couldn't see her, but looked at himself with probing eyes: "Which family is it a lady? Or...an ordinary person?"
Isn't Heizi's characteristic that he doesn't seem to have this person even when he is playing on the field, and he is called the sixth man of phantom because of his low presence?Why is it getting so much attention now?
However, she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she could only silently watch the game below. Although she had been with Akashi for a long time, she still didn't know much about the rules of basketball, and she was a little dazed.
