[Black Basket] Warm Mist

In order to welcome the much-anticipated national competition to be held in Kanagawa in a few days, Hasegawa Shiho and Aida Reiko turned into special training maniacs, staring ferociously at the regular picks of the basketball team for intensive training every day.

From basic training to strength training, from speed training to eye training, from jumping training to explosive training, from flexibility training to flexibility training, from shooting touch training to body balance training... Every player has a special The special training menu is tailor-made for yourself, and you can't escape even if you want to.

The super-intensive special training created a heroic scene in the gymnasium.

One afternoon, the exhausted Kuroko passed out and fell asleep on the floor beside the basketball court, and was woken up miserably by Aida Reiko fanning her with a paper fan.

In addition to the special training during the day, there are also learning tasks at night.

Hasegawa Shiho hopes that everyone can analyze the intention of the opponent's subtle movements in the first time.In order to adapt to various psychological theories related to micro-expressions and micro-movements, Seirin's candidates are all eager to learn and take notes with their small notebooks, for fear of missing Teacher Shiho's mind-arming course.

Using the method of analyzing the opponent's micro-expressions and micro-movements to infer the opponent's offensive line is one of the most effective defensive strategies Hasegawa Shiho can think of at present, and supporting physical training is of course also essential.On this basis, she worked out several coordination tactics based on the overall characteristics of Seirin's team and the playing styles of different players, and asked that whenever there was a substitution on the field, the offensive or defensive methods should be slightly adjusted to avoid being caught. Opponents exploit weaknesses.

On the morning before the start of the national competition, Aida Reiko announced a good news after all members assembled: "The school attaches great importance to our basketball team this time, and specially allocated a sum of money to us! Therefore, we can find a place in Kanagawa If you stay here, you don’t have to go back and forth between the arena and Tokyo every day!”

Hinata is very satisfied with this: "It is indeed much more stable than running back and forth, and it can save energy and meet the game in the best condition."

"That's right." Aida Reiko then announced another decision, "But even so, it is unrealistic for all members to stay in a hotel during the competition. I have discussed it with the manager, and the first-year members can freely Choose whether to go to Kanagawa to watch the game. If you want to go, I can provide one round-trip travel expenses-only one time, and only provide travel expenses, regardless of food and lodging. The second and third grade candidates live in ordinary small hotels. We have a total of eleven With two boys and three girls, five triple rooms can handle it.”

Vulcan is more concerned about diet: "What about three meals a day? Do it yourself?"

Aida Reiko, who had already guessed that he would ask this question, said with a smile: "Buffet, eat your fill!"

So the foodie Vulcan has no objections.

However, Yuki Mikoto, who is the manager of the basketball department, does not want to go to Kanagawa with everyone.She approached Aida Reiko several times in private, but she didn't get a clear answer.Now when she heard that Aida Reiko counted her in the entourage, Yuki Mikoto was embarrassed.

When Hasegawa Shiho went to the other side of the basketball court to explain the team's latest tactics to Vulcan and Kuroko, Yuki Mikoto suggested to Aida Reiko: "Sister Reiko, I am just a manager. With Hasegawa here, I can't help much. The school doesn't have much funding, so why not..."

Aida Reiko interrupted her: "It is because you are the manager that you have to go! Tell me, which team's manager didn't follow during the game? Unless you have a suitable reason, I I will not let you go. Mikoto, I have emphasized many times, you are an important member of our Seirin basketball club, no matter what you think, I will not change my mind."

Yuki Mikoto could not tell Aida Reiko why she did not want to accompany her.

In fact, Yuki Mikoto, who was politely rejected by Kuroko, not only did not attend the previous celebration banquet, but even planned to resign as the manager of the basketball department.Fortunately, she persisted.Even so, it was impossible for her to fully recover in a short period of time, and it was even more impossible for her to treat Heizi as usual.

However, Yuki Mikoto is the manager of Seirin's basketball club after all, and she quickly accepted Aida Reiko's arrangement.

In the afternoon of that day, the Seirin Expeditionary Forces who arrived in Kanagawa from Tokyo by subway dragged their bags to the hotel contacted by Reiko Aida in person.

After getting off the car, Aida Reiko took Yuki Mikoto to the front desk to confirm the check-in status.

The boys filled the small suitcases packed by the girls, and Hasegawa Shiho, who had nothing but a light suit, walked slowly into the hotel with the group.

When Aida Reiko and Yuki Mikoto were receiving their room cards, Hasegawa Shiho was standing at the front desk of the hotel doing nothing, and couldn't help but look around at the layout of the hotel.

After receiving the room cards at the front desk, Aida Reiko turned to the group of boys behind and said, "You guys decide how to allocate the rooms." She handed four of the room cards to Hinata, and kept one for herself, which is located in the deepest part of the corridor. The key card of the room, "All the rooms are on the first floor. The room at the outermost part of the corridor can only accommodate two people, and the remaining space is relatively large. It is the place where we meet and hold meetings."

When she said this, the room shared by two people, which was quite popular at first, suddenly became a hot potato.

Although it is true that two people can get more control over space if they live in a triple room, everyone is unwilling to allow their room to be entered and exited by others at will.The eleven boys who almost blocked the entire corridor debated together for a long time without any result, and finally had to use the old-fashioned method of "rock-paper-scissors" to solve this big problem.

By the time the boys were divided into groups, the girls who had already moved into the room had already packed up all the clothes in their bags.

After a while, Aida Reiko came out of the room.

As soon as Aida Reiko stepped out of the room, Hasegawa Shiho felt the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.She is not very good at communicating with girls like Yuki Mikoto, so she escaped with an excuse.

Aida Reiko, who was walking in front, was studying the game schedule, and asked Hinata before she had time to enter the house: "Have you decided? Which one of you lives outside?"

Hinata said, "Kugami and Kuroko—the two of them lost in the boxing game."

Aida Reiko said to Hinata helplessly with an expression of "I don't know how to evaluate you boys", "It's a good thing you can think of a way to use finger-guessing."

Hasegawa Shiho, who followed Aida Reiko out of the room, commented on the boys' playful guessing game: "It's a bit naive for the seniors to make decisions in this way. It's just dividing the room. Is it so difficult?"

Hinata was even more helpless than Aida Reiko: "It's not me who advocates boxing guessing... It was obvious that Kuroko first said that he wanted to guess boxing, but he himself lost the worst. What can I do?"

Aida Reiko waved her hand: "It's up to you, I don't care anyway, as long as there is no shortage of people. Okay, Hinata-kun, please help me inform the boys in other rooms, let them go to the rooms of Vulcan-kun and Heizi-kun as soon as possible meeting."

One minute later, a dozen or so people sat on the floor, crowded close to each other in the room of Vulcan and Heizi, waiting for the two coaches to hold a pre-match mobilization meeting for them.

"Our first game tomorrow morning will be against Yangquan."

Aida Reiko's first sentence still adheres to her essence of being concise and to the point.

"Everyone knows that Yangquan was the third runner-up in the national competition last year. We fought hard against them in the Winter Cup. This year, Yangquan still qualified for the national competition with the first place in the region. According to the video of the final in Akita this year , their 'absolute defense' seems to be stronger than last year. And Yangquan has an excellent coach like Masako Araki to support them, it is a difficult bone, and tomorrow's game will definitely be another tough battle. Think of a countermeasure..."

Aida Reiko explained in detail the plan she and Hasegawa Shiho jointly made.After the explanation, she announced the starting team members in one breath: "Tomorrow's starting team members are Hinata-kun, Itsuki-kun, Mitobe-kun, Vulcan-kun and Kuroko-kun!"

The few boys whose names were called were full of fighting spirit: "Yes!"

Reiko Aida, as always, used the "Aida-style motivation method" to boost the morale of everyone: "You must work hard! If you are defeated by Yangquan in the first round, then you don't have to go back to Tokyo, and jump into the sea collectively." Bar!"

——I don't want to jump into the sea!So tomorrow we will definitely fight over Yangquan!

The hot-headed Captain Hyuga proudly released a declaration of dominance: "Okay! Crush Yangquan!"

Heizi calmly complained: "Is the captain possessed by Mr. Ziyuan?"

With Heizi's complaint, the pre-match meeting is over.

Aida Reiko thought it necessary to go to the stadium where the competition was held to find out, so she left the hotel.Hinata was worried that Reiko Aida was running around in Kanagawa, an unfamiliar place, and went out with her. Before leaving, she didn't forget that the captain, Fan Shiquan, told the other team members to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.

A large group of people left in an instant.Hasegawa Shiho, who voluntarily stayed, bent over and picked up the documents spread all over the floor one by one, planning to take them back to the room to continue researching.

While helping her clean up, Vulcan asked her to make more food that can quickly replenish her strength tomorrow morning, such as things like honey pickled lemons.

"The skills of the coaches and managers are very...very..." Vulcan tried hard to think of suitable adjectives, "very weird. And they especially like to stuff the things they make for us to eat. It's a nightmare..."

Hasegawa Shiho told him: "I've never made honey pickled lemons, but I know how to do it." She smiled and comforted Kagami who had fallen into dark memories, "Don't worry, senior Kagami, I won't let Li Sister Zi will come up with food that will harm everyone's stomach again."

Vulcan murmured blankly, "That's good, that's good..."

When Hasegawa Shiho was about to walk out of their room, Heizi suddenly stopped her: "Sister, wait a minute."

Hasegawa Shiho turned around: "Yes?"

"Hmm... there is a basketball hoop in the backyard of this hotel, and it looks like it is still in use." Heizi standing by the window pointed to the small basketball court outside the window, " So, Hasegawa-senpai, can you please have a one-on-one contest with me now?"

Hasegawa Shiho, who was holding a pile of documents, tilted his head: "Um...Senior Kuroko just said 'one-on-one'? Senior Kuroko means you want to have a one-on-one with me?"

"Heizi, you must be dizzy from the sun, right?"

Kagami didn't dare to imagine what would happen after Kuroko and Hasegawa Shiho faced each other—no, he could actually imagine.The final outcome was nothing more than the tough Hasegawa Shiho beating the weak Kuroko Tetsuya to nothing.

Vulcan couldn't bear to hurt Heizi's self-esteem, but it was his nature to tell the truth: "You want to have a one-on-one with Hasegawa? You can't get anything from her! Are you sure?"

Kuroko looked directly at Hasegawa Shiho with a firm expression, "That's right, it's one-on-one."
