[Sports] He's a little weird

47

The girl with short red hair stood on the free throw line, slapping the orange-red ball and aiming at the basket.

Her unruly appearance and demeanor made her look completely out of tune with this court, and her quiet and extremely focused expression made people shy away subconsciously, unwilling to interrupt her meditation.

She frowned slightly. Basketball, which should have been her hobby, seemed to have changed a long time ago, and turned into a way of pure redemption.

She is not qualified to think about how to play is a happy thing. Only words such as goals, assists, and defense should be the focus of her consideration now.

The original yarn factoring with long hair is the backbone of the team, and you can freely let your own ideas build the team; the original yarn factoring with short hair can only be a brick, and you can move it wherever you need, as long as it can make Lihai big The way of subsidiary victory, she will do it no matter what.

Because of her, the originally hopeful team has become scattered and on the verge of disbanding. Yuansha Baoli must atone for her sins.

—even though that was not the intention.

When did it become like this?

Yuansha Baoli is not very clear, maybe it was the moment when the hair was cut short, or maybe it was when more and more applications for resignation were received in his hand, or maybe the companions around him gradually left, leaving only one Sang Ye Si, smiled and comforted her, "It's nothing, just go back after a year."

The team's reliable power forward is ready, squatting, arms outstretched, and throwing the ball.

The orange-red ball rolled around the edge of the basket and fell into the net reluctantly, as if it was wet and stuffy in the rainy season.

No, you have to vote more like a fish in water.

Yuansha Baoli clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, took a ball out of the cart next to him, and continued to practice.

She adjusted her posture according to the standard posture taught in the textbook in her impression, trying to make the way of exerting force more scientific.

——This time it simply failed.

Just as Yuansha Factoring was preparing for the next practice, someone spoke.

"You're in a hurry." Ryoka Uchimura, who didn't know when she was standing on the sidelines, said with her arms around her arms, like a coach inspecting the training of students, "What's the matter, the former former seniors are not like this. style of."

Yuansha Baoli's right hand, which had originally picked up the ball, dropped weakly, and the basketball dropped from his hand and rolled back into the cart.

"Haha..." Her laugh was worse than crying, and her dry fake smile was embarrassing, "I didn't expect to see you again, Uchimura."

"Why, are the members of the retired club not allowed to watch?" Although the relationship between Yu Yuansa and Pauli is a junior and senior, Uchimura Ryoka's tone does not have the sense of respect for seniors that is particularly prominent in sports clubs, more like They are peers who have personal grievances on weekdays.

"Of course." Yuan Sabaoli, who was out of the mood for training, simply picked up the ball and asked, "How are you recently?"

Uchimura Ryoka looked away unnaturally: "It was good at first, but after watching the game, I feel bad. Do you think you can beat Kaichang at this level?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies - you don't need to ask this kind of question." Yuan Saoli smiled self-deprecatingly, "Of course not. There’s no chance of winning.”

"It's good to have self-knowledge." Uchimura Ryoka paused, and then asked, "You... your knee is not moving right, have you been to the hospital for an examination?"

"I've been there, and the doctor said there's nothing serious about it."

Ryoka Uchimura was noncommittal: "If you continue to practice like this, you may have a big problem in the middle of the game."

"You saw through it." Harasa Yaori smiled, but didn't say any solution, "Uchimura, are you still playing basketball after retiring from the club?"

"Occasionally fight with my cousin, and I usually practice boxing - I have seen this kind of situation with you a lot, and I don't mind minor injuries. When something really goes wrong, it's too late to cry." Uchimura Ryoka said angrily, As if it was she who had to say goodbye to her hobbies because of the pain.

Yuansha Baoli took a deep breath: "There is no way, as soon as I retreat, Lihai's inside line collapses. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, it doesn't mean that it will definitely happen during the game."

"Idiot! Idiot! Retarded!"

Uchimura Ryoka's face turned pale, and he reprimanded loudly, even his body trembled uncontrollably.

Yuansha Baoli, who was scolded, was stunned for a while, instead of being angry because of being scolded by the younger generation, he laughed instead.

"I also know that I'm stupid, idiot, mentally retarded...but—"

The red-haired, crew-cut power forward trembled as she spoke, biting her lips desperately, trying to swallow the sobs back, but once she opened her mouth, she completely revealed: "This is me—the last summer ah!"

Yuan ace's helpless cries resounded in the empty basketball hall where there were only two people left, and the afterglow of the setting sun leaked from the high windows, reflecting the desolation like blood on the ground.

Uchimura Ryoka was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that she would be so sad when she heard Hara Saori say this. Sadness spread like a virus, and it accumulated in her throat, refusing to move. Bit, suppressing her emotions like a balloon about to explode, unable to speak.

Uchimura Ryoka, who was no longer a basketball player, raised her hand subconsciously, as if to grab her hand, or to cover her shoulder, but she just grabbed the air weakly and put it back to her side helplessly.

"What about your future? Doesn't that matter at all?!" Uchimura Ryoka only realized that the voice didn't sound like it came from his own mouth, and it wasn't as calm as it should be. look.

"The future? What future can I have? There are many more players than me—"

"But there's only one original yarn factorer!" Uchimura Ryoka snapped.

Perhaps it was because she had been away from the basketball club for so long that she didn't know that the decisive, wise and martial minister at the time, the senior she most admired, had turned into what she is now.

The heart swelled to the point of bursting, and the pain that went deep into the bone marrow seemed to penetrate into all the limbs.

"Then you want to come back?"

"……Eh?"

Yuansha Baoli said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, this is probably the fifth time I beg you, do you want to come back?"

"You!" Uchimura Ryoka didn't expect the other party to react like this, and unconsciously took a small step back, and the person in front of her suddenly became very strange.

"It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, as long as you come back, with your ability, you will definitely lead this team further—"

Uchimura Ryoka closed her eyes and gritted her teeth: "I'm back... Can't I come back!"

"...Eh?" Maybe it was because she had asked too many times, Yuan Saoli did not consider the possibility of the other party agreeing to the request at all. on the t-shirt.

"I thought I would never forgive you in my life... I thought I could watch you all struggling to enter the country and then go back to your hometown soon..." Uchimura Ryoka lowered her head to prevent Hara Saori from seeing her With an expression on his face, he said, "You wait for me, just wait to see me take your position away and let you sit on the bench until the end of the game!"

After finishing speaking, Uchimura Ryoka left, leaving only Hara Saori holding the basketball cart with one hand to listen to her heartbeat and breathing quietly in the basketball hall.

Before the women's basketball team affiliated to Lihai University was in danger of being suspended due to the violent incident of Hara Saori, Uchimura Ryoka was a leader among the first-year students, and no one would object to being called a genius, even though she was just a In the first grade, they are as eye-catching as Kuwanoji and Hara Saori a year ago.

Although her height is not outstanding, her jumping ability and physical flexibility make her shine among the members of the first and second grades.In addition, Uchimura Ryoka learned boxing from her father since she was a child, her dynamic vision is exceptionally good, and she responds quickly, and she can always make reasonable responses in the first place, which made Hara Saori, who had just taken over as the minister at that time, put her in the starting lineup. The list of members, I am willing to change positions to play center forward.

Almost everyone believed that she would become the next leading ace of the women's basketball team affiliated to Lihai University, leading the team to better results.

And because they are playing in the same position, Yuan Safactory himself also likes this smart and talented rookie very much. If there is nothing to do, he will always teach her some experience on the court that he has summed up, and what it takes to be an excellent power forward. Required skills and knowledge.And Uchimura Ryoka, who yearns for Hara Yaori wholeheartedly, also regards Hara Saori as her own sister, not only clinging to her during working hours, but also always contacting her after school, like a A child who doesn't know how to be restrained, takes it for granted that she will be self-willed because of Yuan Safactory's affection for her.

And when the incident broke out, it was like a tower built of cards that collapsed in an instant.

In just an instant, the beautiful past that was built like a garden in the sky disappeared, as if it never existed at all.

"Why... tell me, why is this, former senior?"

"Why did you do such a thing?! Say it—Senior Yuan—you say it! As long as there is a reason, I will believe you! But why don't you say anything?"

"...So, to you, I am an existence that is not even willing to lie?"

"Are you good at fighting!? With such strength, why don't you use it on the court?"

"I hate you, you clearly know that everyone is looking forward to this year's game! But all of this is gone, all of it is gone!"

Hara Saori no longer remembers how he felt when he saw the application for resignation from Uchimura Ryoka, who was handed over to him by someone else, and he doesn't even remember what it was like at that time, only remembering that at that time, even himself The shards of glass heart that had been glued together with all their might shattered and shattered again.

Yeah... why?

She couldn't tell anyone about that reason.

☆、Fanwai·She is a bit weird

The world began to collapse

Uchimura Ryoka's most admired senior is Hara Saori.

Powerful and kind, like the sea, he contains his impulsive personality, and he will not hesitate to teach himself the skills and experience he is proud of.

As a big sister, maybe I will never be able to achieve this level, right?

On an evening that was no different from usual, Ryoka Uchimura, who returned to Kanagawa from the training camp, was walking home.

The Uchimura family is not a wealthy family. They live a very peaceful life in the narrow alleys.The taciturn but reliable father, the gentle and talkative mother, and the autistic younger sister who hardly speaks are all precious family members in Ryoka Uchimura's heart.

"Ah, Liangxiang Sauce~" Passing by the grocery store where I go to buy vegetables every day, Liangxiang was stopped by the fat proprietress.

"What's the matter, Aunt Sakata?"

The kind-hearted but inevitably talkative aunt covered her mouth and talked to Liangxiang in a whisper that didn't seem like a whisper, with a beaming smile all over her face.

"I saw your sister go out today, and she looks good. Although she still didn't speak, she will respond to our words." It can be said that the proprietress who watched their sisters grow up is very enthusiastic, just like that It's the same with her own family, "Poor thing, is your sister's autism finally showing signs of getting better?"

"Really?" Liangxiang's joy was beyond words.

"However, when I just came back, my expression became the same as before, and no one paid any attention to me." The owner of the vegetable shop who unloaded the goods from the truck said, "Well...you can't force this kind of thing."

The proprietress quickly chased after her husband, and knocked a chestnut on his forehead: "If you tell me to talk too much, he won't be fat if he eats it in one bite."

Liangxiang was used to the overly honest words of the vegetable shop owner, so she didn't take it seriously.

Younger sister Ryoko’s autism has grown up with her since she was born. Both her parents and Ryoka have tried their best to make her like other girls, at least able to communicate her thoughts with others.But years of useless work has made Liangxiang used to have a more negative attitude towards her sister.

But as the proprietress said, a good change is always better than nothing, isn't it?

When I got home, my father was still teaching the students in the boxing gym.

Due to insufficient funds, the family's boxing gym is hidden in a small alley without a conspicuous storefront, and the number of students is not too many. There is no problem in maintaining the family's livelihood, but life is tight, and it has nothing to do with affluence.

The father who insists on this business out of love gives every student what he has learned, and sometimes even spends unnecessary time on small things for students who want to learn more.

In Liang Xiang's mind, the father's figure and the original senior's figure partially overlap.

Climbing the narrow stairs to the second floor where the whole family lived, my mother was sitting at the dining table doing calculations with a calculator. Seeing Liang Xiang passing by, she immediately closed the ledger that was spread out in front of her.

"Liangxiang, you're back." Mother asked with a smile, "How about the camp?"

"Well, very good, I feel that I have learned a lot of new things from the former seniors. This year's IH, I think our school will definitely achieve better results!" Liangxiang said while subconsciously waving her arms, trying her best to Deliberately described her feelings with body language, if the floor wasn't so high, maybe she would have jumped up.

"... That's good! By the way, Ryoko went out today, and although she came back soon... maybe our family is getting better and better?" Mother didn't know whether she was telling Liangxiang or herself. It's just that Liang Xiang was too innocent at that time, and didn't hear anything.

"I heard about this matter from Aunt Sakata next door. Anyway, it's a good thing that Ryoko has the idea of ​​contacting the outside world! It's all of us's persistence that finally gave us hope, right?"

Mother smiled, but she didn't quite believe it. Like Liangxiang, she was used to being disappointed.

Ryoka Uchimura and her younger sister Ryoko share a room together. The originally narrow room looks smaller when they get along together, not to mention that as they get older, the two of them have more and more sundries. The room is getting more and more crowded.Ryoko, who is two years younger than her, did not go to school because of her severe autism. She just studied at home with Ryoka's textbooks.

I don’t know if it’s because children with autism are smarter. Ryoko has been doing things very quickly since elementary school. She usually only needs half the time it takes Ryoko to finish the same exercise book.

But today, when Liangxiang returned to the room, Liangzi was nestling in the corner of the room alone, with her arms around her knees, her chin resting gently on her arms, so quiet that people would subconsciously regard her as the same body as the background Degree.This is not a rare thing, no one in the family knows what Ryoko is thinking.

"Liangzi, I heard you went out today?" Liangxiang asked.

Uchimura Ryoko nodded, and stayed there like an old monk in meditation, no longer reacting to Ryoka's words.

.

Liangxiang got used to it, and didn't care about it, she just said to herself: "Why doesn't your hair look as soft as usual today? Sure enough, it should be cut off, if you grow your hair too long, you will lose your hair." It’s nutritious, it’s like straw when it dries up. The medium length like me is the best, it’s easy to take care of and you don’t have to worry about styling, and it’s easy to move around..."

Nestled in the corner, Ryoko closed her eyes, her right arm around her legs hung down feebly, and her fingertips drew boundless circles of different sizes on the ground.I don't know how long it took, but Liangxiang has already turned on the phone to play music, lying on the bed and flipping through basketball magazines for a while, swinging her legs in the air.Liangzi stood up suddenly, took out the bag hidden behind her, handed it to Liangxiang wordlessly, and then climbed to the upper bunk where she slept.

Liang Xiang was a little surprised. After all, Liang Zi seldom reacted to the outside world. The only reaction she could give to her family's words was to nod her head, and she rarely even said a particle of tone.

"Is this for me?" The girl quickly contacted her birthday that is coming tomorrow, the corners of her lips raised uncontrollably, and even the end of the sentence had some cheerful jumps, "Is it really for me?"

There was a knock on the upper bunk, probably giving an affirmative answer.

"However, for birthday presents, it's better to give them on someone else's birthday. Generally, people think that the bigger the surprise, the better..." Liang Xiang opened the paper bag while talking, took out the inside and packed it One of the boxes, when opened, was found to be a comb.

The brown-white comb made of ox horn is polished smooth and moist, and the workmanship is very exquisite. The word ryouka is engraved on the back of the comb. The handwriting is a little crooked, and it looks like it was written by Ryoko.

"A comb? But my hair of this length is actually combed with my fingers every morning when I wake up, and I don't need a comb at all—ah, no, it's not that your gift is useless, in fact, I think it seems more It is suitable for your own use. Then I will develop the habit of using a comb to comb my hair from today, um... I also heard that combing hair is good for dredging the blood vessels in the head and massaging the nerves. Hahaha anyway, the comb sent by Liangzi must be It will work, don't worry!"

Liangxiang was so happy that she rolled around with the comb, even a carp got out of bed, and watched the sunset light coming in from the window with a light golden halo inlaid on the edge of the comb. It's like a child finally got the toy model that he would cry for every time he passed by a shopping mall window from his parents, and he was so satisfied that he wanted to tell the world.

She did, however, rushing down the stairs, showing off her early birthday present to her mother, who was cooking.

"Oh, this is great! But don't you have to go out and order this kind of customized gift in advance? Ryoko has never been out of the house except today." Mother said.

"It's such a time now, Ryoko probably made the reservation online, well, it can be done without leaving home. I thought her New Year's money could be kept until I graduated from high school and I couldn't use it. It's really surprising. gone."

Seeing Liangxiang happily wandering around in the already crowded kitchen, her mother kicked her out with some helplessness.

During the meal, the taciturn father also expressed his happiness for Ryoko's change, although it was only reflected in a slightly relaxed expression.Liang Xiang even suspects that Liang Zi's autism is entirely due to his inherited facial paralysis and reticence, but an over-developed mutation has occurred on this basis.

"... Liangxiang." The father who rarely joined the conversation at the dinner table said suddenly.

"whats the matter?"

"What are your plans after high school?"

Liangxiang paused for a moment with her right hand holding the chopsticks, and the girl looked at her father with some puzzlement: "Of course I'm continuing to study in college!"

"At home—" Father's words were interrupted by his mother before he could say much.

"Huh?" Liang Xiang didn't know what happened, but a sense of foreboding subconsciously rose in her heart.

The father comforted the uneasy mother with his eyes, and then continued: "You may not understand the situation at home, but it is already a very bad situation. There are fewer and fewer students in the boxing gym, and the price of goods has also risen recently. Terrible... If you didn't have a scholarship when you entered Lihai University, we probably wouldn't be able to afford you to continue your studies. If you want to go to university after high school, private universities will definitely not work, so you might as well go out and work by yourself. "

Liangxiang put her chopsticks on the table heavily, and frowned: "Don't talk about such things now, I'm only a freshman in high school now, what if the family situation improves when I graduate?"

"Liangxiang, life is not as simple as you think." Today's father said a lot unexpectedly, "It's not that you don't have to accept it if you don't want to. I'm just telling you this possibility, and you have no way to refuse it."

"Then I'll go play basketball. Anyway, some scouts came to me and told me to try to join the U17. If it's really possible, I don't have to pay for it from my family. Isn't that okay?"

The father's expression is not optimistic: "Don't be deceived, although your physical ability is not bad, but you think you can really play U17 with your height? Basketball is not as simple as you think. ..."

"I won't eat!" Saying that, Liang Xiangxiang ran upstairs and slammed the door of the room angrily.

At this time, she didn't know what kind of desperate things would happen the next day.

The author has something to say: Transitional chapters, stories about truth lines.
