[Black Basket] Warm Mist

As if to prove that what he said was not a lie, Heizi used the stunt "disappearing dribble" to pass Tong Huang's captain Wakamatsu in less than ten seconds after entering the court, and when the quick-reacting Wakamatsu was about to catch up to him, he passed the ball from the basket Passed back to Hinata outside the three-point line.

Seirin, the sharpshooter Captain Hinata who got the ball, made a decisive shot and successfully scored a three-pointer.

Then, Heizi seized the opportunity and perfectly delivered a heavy blow to the opponent.He deceived Aomine with misleading excesses, not only made Vulcan successfully block Aomine's indeterminate shooting, but even assisted Vulcan to avoid Aomine's marking.

Vulcan seemed to have disappeared on the court, broke into Tonghuang's restricted area unimpeded all the way, and gave the opponent a slam dunk with great force, which made the basket rattle.

Qingfeng made a defensive mistake, and glared at Heizi angrily: "It must be you who made trouble just now!"

Heizi looked back at Qingfeng blankly: "It was Qingfeng-kun who didn't defend himself, so how can you blame me?"

"Ha!" Qingfeng laughed shortly, and he ran past Heizi with his natural strength and arrogance, "Zhe, I admit that you do have a group of good teammates. However, it is absolutely impossible for you to win just because you are now." Mine! Give me a good sense!"

Heizi turned his head to look at his teammates and coach on the sidelines, and then whispered to Qingfeng's back: "Sorry, I only have this awareness, and I never want to do it."

Half a minute later, Itsuki's buzzer-beater gave Seirin a three-pointer.The whistle sounded, and with the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 61-60 in the first half, and Seirin was temporarily behind Tong Huang by one point.

Although Heizi hadn't played for a long time, sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

"Senior Kuroko has worked hard." Shiho Hasegawa handed the towel and water bottle to Kuroko casually, then turned his face and said almost the same words to Hinata, "Senior Hyuga has worked hard too."

With a towel on his head, Hyuga obviously grabbed a bottle of water with his left hand, but deliberately stretched out his right hand, and asked slightly teasingly: "Well, I really worked hard, so... Junior, where are my towels and water? ?”

Aida Reiko next to her said angrily, "What are you comparing to? Didn't Koganei-kun already give you towels and water? How many more towels and bottles of water do you want?"

Seirin and the others simply packed up their things, and walked to the lounge in a mighty manner.On the other side, Tonghuang players are also preparing to go back to their lounge to make adjustments.

Taking advantage of the intermission, Coach Tonghuang gave some pointers to the team members, asking them to use their brains well based on the experience of the last game with Seirin, and get rid of the misleading excess of Heizi's upgraded version.

Yuan Zekede warned Tonghuang players: "Don't bother to defend Heizi in the second half. From the most fundamental point of view, Heizi is only a player who exists to pass the ball. Once his passing route is cut off, he will be helpless. So, you guys The main task is to keep a close eye on the player who should be responsible, and force Heizi to place an order." After briefly arranging the tactics for the second half, he asked Momoi Wuyue to step forward again, "Momoi-san, please share the sincerity that you have just analyzed through the game. Let me explain Rin's latest information."

In Seirin's lounge, which is not too different from the tense atmosphere in Tonghuang's lounge, everyone in Seirin is having an emergency meeting.

Aida Reiko dragged out the whiteboard with a serious face, handed the marker pen to Hasegawa Shiho, and said to Seirin's players: "Tongo will definitely change his style of play in the second half, and I think we should implement another one now." Offensive tactics. Xiao Zhisui, please help me draw a schematic diagram of a transposition triangle attack—I believe you absolutely know how to draw that."

Hasegawa Shiho took the marker pen, said with a smile, "Of course I know", and after a dozen strokes, a detailed and appropriate schematic diagram of the transposition triangle offense was presented on the whiteboard.

Aida Reiko pointed to the schematic diagram and said: "Everyone understands what the triangle offensive tactic is, but... I hope you can 'change positions' in the second half of the game. That is to say, we not only need to attack internally and externally, and combine internally and externally , but also to replace the 'apex' of the triangle offense. During the replacement process, everyone's cooperation should be more flexible. Don't be distracted during the game, and concentrate on observing every move of your teammates. Once the opportunity comes, quickly fill in !"

Walking out of the lounge, Kuroko ran into Yuki Mikoto.

Yuuki Mikoto's cheeks seemed to be bloodshot. She was holding a neatly folded brand new towel in her hand. Seeing Kuroko come out, she stuffed the towel to him, then turned her face to look at the basketball hanging on the wall. Competition poster: "Your towel just dropped on the floor, is it dirty? It's clean, no one has used it yet."

Heizi thanked politely: "Thank you Yuki-san."

In fact, Yuki Mikoto would rather that he should not be so polite to her, but this is the character of Heizi itself.She masochistically recalled the scene of Kuroko sitting next to Hasegawa Shiho during the game, and remembered that Kuroko had never joked with herself once so far, and every time the two of them were stuck in the ordinary communication of intimacy.Kuroko, who guarded the line of etiquette like this, was able to show his childish side to Hasegawa Shiho, whom he had just met not long ago.

——Is it time to give up?

Kuroko, who was not even moved by a girl chasing him all the way to Seirin, is now gradually showing his trust and closeness to his new coach, Yuki Mikoto feels that she can give up.

But before bidding farewell to her first love, Yuki Mikoto, unwilling to admit defeat, wants to try one last time.

"Mr. Heizi, I have always treated you..."

Putting aside all the reservedness of women, Yuki Mikoto chose the way of direct confession.

It's a pity that Heizi already heard what she wanted to say next, so he interrupted Mikoto Yuki with a rude word once in a while: "I'm sorry, Yuuki-san. But the second half of the game will start soon, you can please end Will student Cheng talk about these things later?"

Yuki Mikoto's expression of "going all out" froze on her face.

After a while, with a trembling voice, she forced herself to say as calmly as possible: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Indeed, the competition will start soon... I'll go back and see the group of first-year clubs What happened to the players, I can't let them run around... After all, I am the manager of the basketball department, and I have the obligation to watch them... I... I'm sorry, I'll take a step first."

Heizi nodded: "Student Yucheng has worked hard."

Yuuki Mikoto turned her head and ran away covering her mouth.What she wants to hear is not the same kind words like "Thank you Yuki-san" and "Yuki-san for your hard work", but she will probably never get what she wants to hear from Heizi.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that Mikoto Yuki recovered a little.

A few minutes later, the situation on the court was still not conducive to Seirin. Although the score behind did not continue to expand, the duel between Aomine and Kagami was already at a fever pitch.There was no one on Tonghuang's side to defend Heizi - this was the worst situation, because Heizi who was in charge of passing the ball could not find a suitable passing point.

Muji, who was sitting on the sidelines, sighed: "Lizi, do you still insist on not changing?"

Aida Reiko said, "No change."

Mu Ji was so choked by her, it was not easy to ask again.

Hasegawa Shiho replied on behalf of Aida Reiko: "It's okay, Kiyoshi-senpai. We can definitely last a little longer, at least to paralyze the nerves of the enemy, so that Emperor Tong can relax his vigilance against Heizi-kun."

While speaking, Yiyue dribbled the ball straight to Tonghuang's basket, then activated Eagle's Eye when Qingfeng rushed to intercept the ball, and passed the ball to Vulcan who was running towards the bottom corner.Since then, Seirin's running position started, and Tonghuang also changed his defensive formation immediately, adopting a strategy of pressing man-marking, for fear that Vulcan would send his side a super irrigation after rushing through Qingfeng's defense line. basket.

Unexpectedly, Vulcan had no intention of shooting at all, and threw the basketball out as soon as he dribbled near the penalty area.

--Oops!

This is almost the unified voice of every Tonghuang team member at this moment.

Kuroko, who had already practiced the apparition to the extreme, instantly appeared in the defensive gap between Wakamatsu and Aomine, and slapped the basketball to the right at a speed that even Aomine couldn't react in time.

Hyuga, who had been lurking in the inside line on the right without anyone noticing, caught the ball, turned around and shot a jumper.

"Strike!" Muji couldn't help shouting.

Hasegawa Shiho said with a smile: "Hyuga-senpai's offensive threat is very strong. Even with Sakurai Ryo's defense, it is difficult for Tonghuang to resist Hinata-senpai's three-pointer. Tonghuang's biggest failure is that they only focus on defense Sticking to Kagami-senpai who also has the ability of ZONE, but forgetting that we also have Hinata-senpai, Itsuki-senpai, and Kuroko-senpai. As for the main players, we Seirin are all aces."

Muji also smiled: "Xiao Zhiho is right! Indeed, all of us Seirin deserve the title of 'ace'. It's just that Kuroko and Vulcan are the trump cards among the trump cards."

Just halfway through the third quarter, Heizi, who seemed to be cornered, made a sudden shot when he was unguarded and unable to pass the ball, and hit the basket with a big upset.

As a result, Seirin finally tied the score.

Momoi Wuzuki was taken aback: "That was a phantom shot just now? No! No... there seems to be something wrong..."

However, Seirin's two girls' high school coaches didn't give Tong Huang the beauty manager the opportunity to study Kuroko in depth, and they immediately replaced the hero who tied the score.

Hasegawa Shiho said to Kuroko who was sitting next to him: "Senior was so handsome just now! Although I guessed that the senior's shooting percentage might increase a lot, I didn't expect the senior to perform so well on the spot. !"

Heizi with a towel on his head smiled slightly: "Well, I didn't think of that either. Thanks to Mr. Yuuki for his guidance. If it wasn't for Mr. Yuuki, I wouldn't have been able to complete the task just now."

Hasegawa Shiho's eyes were full of pride: "That's right! My second brother is amazing!"

So Kuroko continued to serve as his bench player until Reiko Aida replaced him at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Compared to Kagami and Hinata who are good scorers, everyone in Tonghuang, including Momoi Itsuki, is not optimistic about Kuroko's shooting skills.They even thought that the ball that Heizi made in the third quarter was just a big coincidence.

Qingfeng, who taught Heizi how to shoot, has the most say: "Huh? That guy Zhe? That guy's shooting talent is too bad. It's impossible for him to become a sharpshooter all of a sudden!"

As a result, as Qingfeng said, Heizi, who played in the fourth quarter, really didn't show his phantom shots again.And the score between Seirin and Tonghuang did not continue to widen, and the gap between them still remained within two points.Huoshen and Qingfeng entered the ZONE state successively, and the duel between the two was hearty and hearty, making the audience outside the venue very addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Seirin's bench players clenched their fists and said "Come on" silently in their hearts.Unlike other people's nervousness, Hasegawa Shiho acted extremely relaxed this time.

Aida Reiko was still in the mood to tease her: "Why isn't Xiaoshiho nervous anymore?"

Hasegawa Shiho held the winning ticket and said: "Because Senior Kuroko is the best at stabbing people in the back. I believe he can definitely make Emperor Tong die without regret."

"...stabbed in the back... die with no regrets..." Reiko Aida was completely speechless.

As the game drew to a close, Yiyue, who continued to explode with Eagle Eye skills, was very active on the court, bringing the basketball from the backcourt to the frontcourt like a needle thread, avoiding Tonghuang players twice in a row.Hyuga, who is responsible for three-pointers, is already in place, but Ryo Sakurai has implemented an effective blocking defense against him, making it impossible for Itsuki to pass the ball to Hinata accurately.

But even that couldn't stop Seirin from moving forward.

Without looking back, Yiyue threw the basketball diagonally backwards with her backhand.Itsuki is only followed by Kagami and Mitobe, and Aomine, who is in charge of guarding Kagami, is concentrating on his one-on-one with Kagami, and Mitobe is soon stuck by Wakamatsu.

Seeing that Yiyue's pass was about to fail, Momoi Wuyue exclaimed palely: "Stop him!"

But her exclamation came too late.

By the time the Tonghuang players on the field discovered that Heizi was rushing over from an incredible angle to receive the pass, it was too late.Maybe Qingfeng can stop Heizi's shot, but Qingfeng is beyond his reach, and it is impossible to rush to save this shot.

As the final whistle sounded, Seirin's specialty - the buzzer-beater - appeared on the field again.

Momoi May was hit hard.Her legs gave way, she fell to the ground, and murmured in disbelief, "lose, lose...Zhe Jun's phantom shot...has it succeeded again..."
