[Sports] He's a little weird

The first time Kuwanoji met Hara Saori was when the new recruits were being lectured by the minister.

At that time, she was an outsider who had just been admitted to the high school affiliated to Lihai University. She was full of curiosity about everything here, carefully groping for the rhythm of integration, and eyeing the starting position of the main election.

There are very few tall girls, and even fewer tall girls want to play basketball.Although the affiliated Lihai University can be regarded as one of the strong sports schools, and the best results of the women's basketball team in the past two years are also in the top [-] in the country, the number of members in the department is still pitifully small.

Their group of freshmen who joined the club was less than ten in total.Sang Yeji was also a starting member of the school team when he was in junior high school, and he also has a little experience in judging people.

After a brief glance, she found that the only one she could see was the red-haired girl.

Her name is Hara Saori. She has long straight wine red hair and three stud earrings on her right ear. She is very conspicuous among a group of short-haired sports girls.Kuwano, who has good insight, can see the smooth muscle lines under her loose sportswear after extensive training, and can also feel some kind of power hidden in her silent words.

Yuan is not very talkative, and more often just obediently listens to his seniors to pick up balls, practice and then do hard work.Perhaps because she has the face of a bad girl, the seniors always ordered her to run around while being afraid of her.At that time, Sang Yeji felt that she was blinded by the appearance of this bad girl.

And they really started to get acquainted with each other when a certain department work ended, and the two of them were assigned to tidy up the venue as freshmen in the first grade.

Kuwanoji is in charge of tidying up the basketball court, while Hara Saori is in charge of tidying up the locker room.

She remembered that it was a certain day in May, and the summer was just beginning to show signs of dryness and heat in the air, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.

Sang Yeji felt annoyed by the scattered basketballs on the sidelines and the lack of sparkle on the court floor.

She picked up a basketball at random, stood outside the three-point line, and shot it towards the hoop.The orange-red ball bounced high off the rim and fell to the ground.

Such a result was not surprising to Sang Yeji, after all, she was not good at three-pointers.

The junior high school she attended was a giant in the women's basketball team, and the entire women's basketball team might have more people than the men's basketball team next door affiliated to Lihai University.

Kuwanoji, who also won the national championship trophy when he was in elementary school, realized that his strength was only mediocre after joining the King's Division.

In fact, it's not just a matter of strength. When the difference in strength is not particularly exaggerated, the seniors will definitely be considered first in the starting lineup. Obviously, Sang Yeji's strength is not high enough to be called "the generation of miracles". level.

Constrained by various factors, Sang Yeji sat on the bench for nearly two years, and did not gradually become a starting player until the third year of middle school.However, it seemed that the sky was against her. They didn't even make it to the finals that year, and her summer ended early.

In fact, she had a very selfish reason for choosing Lihai University as an affiliate. In this kind of school with certain strength but not a regular national competition, with her strength, she should be able to get the starting position relatively easily.

The basketball reciprocated between the fingers and the floor, making a rapid sound, and Kuwanoji practiced the fake moves that he hadn't touched for some time.

She prefers fancy and complicated feints, and is especially good at streetball-style exaggerated play. Whenever she successfully breaks through the opponent's siege, she will be so excited that every inch of her skin trembles.

But the reality is cruel. In the basketball club with too many people, no one will take the risk to train a "non-mainstream" player like her without using the ready-made players, let alone someone who will specially guide her in practice. up.

Later, when she was selected for the main selection, in order to cooperate with the team, she had to give up her hobbies and practice other routines.

She represents countless bench players who were as unplayable as she was before, so she was not allowed to think about anything other than winning.But this completely ran counter to the pure excitement and joy she had when she first joined the club.

Do you play for your own happiness or for the team's victory?

Such questions played in Sang Yeji's mind countless times, but she still didn't know the answer.

I don't know how long she practiced, but when she turned around, she saw Baoli Yuansha standing on the sidelines with her arms folded.

The embarrassing eyes met, Yuansha Baoli walked over.

"Your movements are so beautiful." Sang Yesi didn't expect Yuan and her to have such a rare conversation alone.

She was a little uncomfortable. Since she entered junior high school, there have been fewer and fewer people who praised her like this. The last time she heard positive comments was probably when she was selected as a starter.

"Thank you." Sang Yesi didn't know how to talk to her, and after thinking for a long time, he could only come up with a polite sentence that would not cause trouble.

Yuansha Baoli took the ball from her hand and easily shot a hollow three-pointer.

"Student Yuan is the one, he's very skilled." Sang Yesi sighed.

The level of Pauli Yuansa is definitely at the national level, but if she is a player with full of personality, Kuwanoji should not be unimpressed.

"Really? I think Kuwano-san's breakthrough skills are very beautiful, but you rarely saw them in your previous competitions."

"Competition?" Sang Yesi was a little surprised.She played very few games, and mostly used a conservative style of play for the sake of winning percentage. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be remembered.

Hara Saori picked up a ball and threw it into the cart a few steps away with one hand, saying: "Because of some things, I couldn't participate in the game before, but I didn't miss a game in the Kanagawa area. I remember You, you were number 13 at Santa Catalina Girls' Academy last year."

This feeling of being remembered by others made Sang Yesi a little happy, and the depression just now seemed to be swept away.At least, her past efforts didn't seem to be useless.

"In fact, my breakthrough skills are often said by the coach to be flashy. If I really want to practice them enough to be able to play, it will take a lot of time." And it will waste a lot of time for training and team building.

Yuan Sabaoli's eyes are the most vicious three-white eyes, thin and long, especially when she is expressionless, people can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Yuan tilted his head slightly, and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it good to have gorgeous movements?"

"Actually, it's not bad, it's just that my aptitude may not be suitable for this path, right?" Sang Yesi replied a little uncertainly.

Yuansha Baoli is more...cute than she imagined?This kind of contrast makes her feel very interesting. She is surrounded by some children who are as gentle and polite as formulas but very alienated. It turns out that such an existence makes her feel very fresh.

"I think that players with full of personality will gather in a team to have more interesting reactions. I prefer a team full of unknowns and possibilities for growth rather than a steady game."

"But in that case, the winning rate will become very unstable, won't it? It's a very difficult problem for the captain." Recalling the team in middle school, Kuwano couldn't help but sigh.

Yuansha Baoli blinked: "So why do we discuss this kind of issue that only the captain would consider? Aren't we still at the bottom of the team now?"

"Pfft." Sang Yesi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That's true, but one day we will stand in a position where we need to consider these issues."

"...Then let's talk about it at that time?" Yuan said uncertainly, scratching the back of his head.

"Ask you a question." Sang Yesi remembered the question that had troubled him for a long time.

"you say?"

"Student Yuan thinks, is playing for your own happiness or for the team's victory?"

Yuansha Baoli was silent for a while, frowned in confusion, walked two steps with her head buried, then raised her head and walked two steps.Finally, she walked up to Sang Yesi solemnly.

No matter what kind of answer she wants to give, Sang Yeji thinks that she is earning money just by being so serious to her, it's super fun!

"Are these two in conflict?"

"... Huh?" Sang Yesi doubted his ears a little.

"If the team wins, of course I will be happy, won't I?" Harasa Yaori said as a matter of course.

Sang Yesi ticked the corner of his mouth, and asked again: "Then what if you want to give up what you like for the sake of victory?"

"...Isn't this happening because the team isn't strong enough? So just practice."

Sang Yesi opened his mouth halfway, and was stunned for a while before he realized it.

"What you said... is also correct."

Hara Saori sighed: "You are so weird. Should I say you are thinking about the overall situation or simply thinking too much?"

Sang Yesi also sighed: "You are also very strange to each other. Should I say that you have leadership qualities or are you single-minded?"

"Hey, don't talk like me!" Yuan Sabaoli frowned, looking like she was going to fight.

"Hee hee, let's learn~" For some reason, Sang Yeji suddenly felt that Yuan was not scary at all, and it was quite fun to play tricks on.

Yuansha Baoli stared at her with big eyes and small eyes for a long time, and had no choice but to choose to raise the white flag.

"... Forget it, just learn as you learn."

Little did they know, with Yuansha Baoli's concession this time as a start, she never won back in the following three years.
