[Black Basket] childhood sweethearts have no "friend" love

In August, the National Middle School Sports Conference, commonly known as "All Middle School" - opened.

Game 198 of Finals: 8-[-].

Such a score, in Akashi's view, is nothing surprising.

On the other hand, the crowd who started the game on the sidelines all had expressions of disbelief.

For them, this is the first time they have seen such a unilaterally crushing opponent.

In the next two games, Teiguang won overwhelmingly. In the knockout rounds that gathered strong teams representing various prefectures and prefectures, they were as easy as passing through the entrance.

The competition is still going on according to the rules of the elimination system.

Minghui Middle School is an excellent team with ace player Ogiwara as its core strength. With its excellent teamwork as a weapon, it has won the competition continuously until the semi-finals.

Teiguang easily eliminated the opponents in the semi-finals, while Mingming Middle School advanced to the finals by one point after a fierce competition.

Teiguang VS Mingming, the final competition for the championship of the middle school has officially started!

Before this match, Heizi was accidentally hit on the head by an opposing player in the semi-finals, and he fell into a coma.

"Zhengjiang, is Tetsuya alright?" Looking at Heizi lying in a coma on the bed, Yuecheng Jiuyang asked worriedly, "What did the doctor say?"

"Slight concussion, it shouldn't be a big problem." Akashi just stood quietly in front of the window, his voice didn't fluctuate too much, "I discussed it with the coach, and Tetsu won't have to play in the next game."

"But, I remember that there seems to be Tetsuya's acquaintance in the opponent's team?"

"so what?"

"I think Zhe also wants to have a good game with that friend, it's a pity..."

"It's no pity, we would have won the game without Tetsuya." Akashi's eyes didn't have any warmth, and he turned to look at Tsukishiro Kuyo, "I know you don't like me saying that, but what I said is the truth."

"Even if it's the truth, Zheng-chan shouldn't say it lightly." Yuecheng Jiuyang stood up and walked in front of Akashi, and put his arm around the other's waist, "I just want Zheng-chan to be able to face me. Return to the original Zhengjiang. That's all."

"...When facing you, I have never changed." Akashi raised his hand to cover Yuecheng Jiuyang's back, and hugged her tightly, "Now there is no opponent outside, and the distance from the 'Generation of Miracles' inside It's only a matter of time before the battle."

"Zhengjiang, what can I do?" Yuecheng Jiuyang raised his head, and put his right hand on Akashi's face, "What should I do to heal the scar in Zhengchan's heart?"

"As long as you are by my side and support me... it will be fine."

But Zhengjiang... I don't have the strength to support you by your side anymore.

"Hmm..." A groan came from the side of the bed, making both of them focus on Heizi.

"Tetsuya, how are you?" Letting go of Akashi, Yuecheng Jiuyang hurried to the bed and asked Heizi who opened his eyes, "Do you want to call the doctor to check?"

"Chisi-kun, Jiuyang-san..." Heizi subconsciously raised his hand to slap his head, but was stopped by Yuecheng Jiuyang.

"Your head is still wrapped with a bandage, don't pat it with your hands."

"What about the game?" He only remembered that he was carried off by the medical staff in the middle of the semi-finals before he fell into a coma.

"Of course we won." Akashi sat down on the stool next to the bed, "The final is about to start in 5 minutes, so I'm the only one here waiting for you to wake up."

"Five minutes left?" Heizi made a gesture to get out of bed, "I want to play too, I promised Ogiwara-kun that I will play with him..."

"No. The doctor said that in your current state, you can't play the game. You should rest here and rest." Akashi refused in a cold voice, "If you really want to compete with that Ogiwara-kun, you have to wait until your health recovers." .”

"Akashi-kun..." Kuroko's eyes dimmed on the spot, but then he said aloud, "This final... please play hard, please..."

Akashi stood up and looked down at Kuroko who was bowing his head on the bed condescendingly, "...doesn't matter how big our score difference is?"

"…Yes."

"I see. Then let them see...Teiguang's strength." Akashi nodded in agreement with Kuroko's request, and turned to look at Yuecheng Jiuyang, "You take care of Tetsuya here, I'm going to the competition."

"Okay, I see." Yuecheng Jiuyang nodded, "Zhengjiang, come on for the game..."

"Ah."

At that time, Yuecheng Jiuyang didn't know what happened next, which would bring Hei Zizhe close to collapse...

"Zhejun!!"

The door of the infirmary was slammed open, and Momoi Wuyue rushed in with a panicked expression.

"May sauce!"

Yuecheng Jiuyang, who was sitting on the stool, stood up, and hurriedly supported Momoi Wuyue, who was almost unable to stand still, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Jiuyang sauce, Qingfeng-kun and the others..." Momoi Wuyue looked at Heizi who was awakened on the bed with a painful face, and hesitated to speak.

"Momoi-san, did something happen in the game?" Heizi sat up abruptly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I'm going to check."

After finishing speaking, Heizi ran out without looking back, followed by Momoi Wuyue.

Until the end of the game, Heizi did not come back, and Yuecheng Jiuyang... never saw Heizi Tetsuya again.

Teiko Middle School Basketball Club—became the holder of the three consecutive titles in the middle school.

Yuecheng Jiuyang was called back halfway because of the phone ringing by his brother Yuecheng, so he did not participate in the celebration party of Akashi and the others.

As for what happened to Kuroko and Akashi, she didn't know anything about it.

Until the retirement ceremony of Akashi and the others, Kuroko still didn't show up.

On the way home from school, Yuecheng Jiuyang asked his doubts aloud, "Zhengjiang, it seems that I haven't seen Tetsuya recently."

"Tetsu also withdrew from the department."

"Hey...!!!" Yuecheng Jiuyang looked surprised, "Why? When did it happen?"

"last week."

"Tetsuya, why did he suddenly withdraw?"

"If you have a chance, you can ask him yourself." Obviously Akashi is unwilling to continue discussing this matter, "I will graduate in a while, have you decided which school to apply for?"

"Well...it's not decided yet. Where's Zhengjiang?"

Since Teiguang is not a school with an entrance system, before graduating from junior high school, the third graders have to decide which school to study in high school.

"If nothing else happens, it should be 'Luoshan'..."

Yuecheng Jiuyang raised his eyebrows, "Is it that strong sports school in Tokyo?"

"Ah."

"It always feels so far away!"

"Do you want to come to Luoshan too?"

"I'll go back and discuss it with my family." Yuecheng Jiuyang nodded, "If my family agrees, I will also go to Luoshan."

"Ok."

"Good morning, dear Moon..." As soon as Ziyuan put down his schoolbag behind him, he greeted Yuecheng Jiuyang at the front table.

Yuecheng Jiuyang put down the book in his hand, turned around, "Good morning, Adun. Have you had breakfast?"

"Hmm..." Zi Yuan rolled his eyes towards the sky, "But... I'm still very hungry..."

"I just happen to have a rice ball here, here." He said and handed the rice ball in the drawer to Zi Yuan, "By the way, I'm about to graduate soon, has A-Dun decided where to study in high school?"

"Hmm...it seems to be a high school called 'Yangquan'." Ziyuan stuffed the last bite of rice ball into his mouth, and licked the rice grains on his fingertips after he finished, "It doesn't matter which high school you are in..."

"That's what I said, but if the high school is still in the same school, we can take care of each other!"

"That's impossible..." Ziyuan yawned lazily, "Chizai said last time that everyone will go to different schools after high school. From the day Heizai retired from the club, everything has changed. It's doomed."

"Really……"

It turns out that all of this is preordained...

Because I can't go back to the meaningful time in the past, I continue to go further and further on different paths...

In the last semester of the third grade, everyone is busy with entrance exams, and Yuecheng Jiuyang is no exception.

Akashi went home early every day to make dinner, while Yuecheng Jiuyang spent most of his time in the school library reviewing his homework.

The same is true in recent times.

As soon as Yuecheng Jiuyang walked out of the library, he ran into Heizi walking towards him.

"Tetsuya... Long time no see."

"...Jiuyang Sang." Heizi was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yes, long time no see."

The current Heizi is no longer as radiant as he used to be when he won the competition.

Oh, right... Heizi has long since ceased to belong to the basketball club.

Yuecheng Jiuyang hadn't seen Heizi for about two months, and now that she met him, she vaguely felt that Heizi looked thinner and weaker, with a slight melancholy between his brows and eyes, and he seemed preoccupied.

"Tetsuya...do you have time to chat with me?"

Hei Zizhe subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yuecheng Jiuyang looking at him worriedly, he turned around when he reached the corner of his mouth, he pursed his lips, and finally nodded, "...I invite Jiuyang sang to drink Have a drink."

The two walked to the nearest dessert shop and sat down. Heizi ordered a cup of vanilla milkshake, while Yuecheng Jiuyang ordered a cup of matcha-flavored milk tea.

Seeing Heizi holding the cup and drinking the milkshake seriously with his head down, Yuecheng Jiuyang smiled, "Tetsuya, you really like milkshakes."

Since I met him before, I have never seen him order other drinks...

Heizi...has never changed.

What changed—they were.

"Jiuyang-sang, I actually have a lot to say."

"Me too, Tetsuya..."

Yuecheng Jiuyang understood what Heizi meant.After a long time, she asked softly.

"Tetsuya, why did you quit the basketball club?"

"In Jiuyang-san's opinion, what is more important than victory?"

"Squeeze the sauce."

"……what?"

"For me, the more important thing than victory is to win the sauce." Yuecheng Jiuyang took a sip of milk tea, "This varies from person to person. For me, winning the sauce is the most important thing. What about Tetsuya? You What is the most important thing?"

"Is the most important thing to me...? It should be the joy of playing basketball. But..." Heizi lowered his head and thought for a while, "But now I... don't want to continue playing basketball anymore."

"In my opinion, Tetsuya's idea is not wrong at all." Yuecheng Jiuyang looked out the window with his chin on his hands, "Of course...Zhengjiang is not wrong either."

"I'm sorry. I don't understand Jiuyangsang's words."

"There's nothing wrong with wanting to win, what's wrong is the way they do it. Zhengjiang's way of doing it is too arrogant. Tetsuya, you have to know that as a strong team, they are too strong, and there is a big gap in strength between them and their peers. It's a lonely thing in itself."

"Sometimes, it's not that they abandon you, it's because of their strength that they are abandoned."

"Since Zhe also likes basketball, why should he give up what he likes?" Yuecheng Jiuyang turned his head and stared seriously at Heizi's eyes, trying to see through his true thoughts.

Every word and sentence of Yuecheng Jiuyang hit Heizi's heart accurately, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Yeah... Basketball is what he likes, why should he give it up?

If possible, he is willing to use his basketball to change the minds of Akashi-kun and Aomine-kun.

His basketball -- nothing wrong.

"Can I ask, Tetsuya, which high school are you planning to go to next?"

"A new school called 'Seirin', the same high school we saw on the field before."

"Zhengjiang decided to go to 'Luoshan' in Kyoto. If there is a chance in the future, you may meet each other on the field." Yuecheng Jiuyang blinked mischievously, "Of course the premise is - Tetsuya, you haven't given up on basketball! "

"Nine Yangsang..."

"Tetsuya, use your basketball to tell Zhengchan that your idea is correct."

Heizi was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have figured something out, and the previous serious expression gradually eased.

He's kept himself on edge since the 'Generation of Miracles' change.No one agrees with his thoughts, no one is willing to listen to him talk about the troubles in his heart...

And after chatting with Yuecheng Jiuyang, Heizi felt that something that was in his heart was slowly being disintegrated.Maybe it's just like what she said, she is really not wrong, as long as she uses her basketball to tell Akashi-kun and the others, maybe everything can go back to the original state...

In the words of Yuecheng Jiuyang, people who can even deny their own ideas are not worthy of educating others.

"Okay, I'll remember." Heizi finally smiled, "...Thank you, Jiuyangsang."

"Hey, you're welcome! After all, it's Zhengjiang who made you so sad." Yuecheng Jiuyang waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "If you really want to thank me, please ask Zheye to play with basketball when he was in high school. Violently abuse Zhengjiang!"

"Jiuyang-san, right now, it's impossible for me to defeat Akashi-kun."

He is the captain of the "Generation of Miracles", and he is just a "Fantasy Sixth Man" who passes the ball. Now let go of his bold words and say that he wants to beat him, it is too presumptuous!

"Oh, Tetsuya, you can't beat it now, but it doesn't mean you can't beat it in the future!" Yuecheng Jiuyang took a sip of milk tea and patted him encouragingly

He touched Heizi's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "Eun... Zheye, I believe in you!"

"-_-|||..." But I don't believe in myself.

Heizi couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.
