[Black Basket] Warm Mist

For Seirin, this is not the first time he has lost at a national competition.Even so, no one is willing to fall down in the same competition over and over again. Not having a chance to compete for the championship is the biggest regret of Seirin's basketball team this summer, but if they can't even win the third place, everyone in Seirin will definitely win the championship. Unable to swallow this breath.

If anyone was in the worst mood after today's match with Luoshan, it would be Vulcan, followed by Hinata.

During dinner, Kagami blamed himself for not being able to make it to the end of the game, and Hinata was also in agony reminiscing about the buzzer-beater he didn't make.

These two people led the team's negative emotions. Everyone held their rice bowls in silence and didn't even want to move their chopsticks. They just sat at the dining table in a daze.

The furious Aida Reiko couldn't stand it any longer, so she slapped each of these two guys on the back, causing Kagami and Hinata to rush forward, almost falling into the plate in front of them.

"What are you two doing!" Aida Reiko reprimanded, "Isn't there another game tomorrow? With your current state, you will definitely lose the game tomorrow! What, do you want to continue at this time tomorrow? Are you downcast and frowning? Cheer me up! Don’t be too shameful! I’ve cried too much, and I’m not allowed to store things like regret and self-blame in my mind! If you lose, you lose, and the reason we lose is only because of our strength It’s just not achieved, what is there to regret? Our current goal is to win tomorrow’s game! Do you hear me clearly?”

Everyone cheered up: "It's clear."

Aida Reiko was dissatisfied with everyone's volume: "Ask again: Did you hear clearly?"

Everyone replied loudly: "Listen clearly!"

Aida Reiko put down her hands with some satisfaction, and stopped making teapots.

Vulcan, who had been sluggish for a long time, made up his mind, and said to Hasegawa Shiho as if death was home: "Hasegawa, my physical training menu will be doubled in the future! I must train my physical strength well!"

Hasegawa Shiho cried very sadly at the end of the game, but now she is the only one who is in the mood to eat and drink at the dinner table.

Regardless of what Reiko Aida said just now, she actually eats more than Heizi.And Hasegawa Shiho expressed her grief to the fullest by crying bitterly, so she recovered the fastest, as if there was no burden in her heart.

Hearing Vulcan's request, Hasegawa Shiho told him in a serious tone: "Vulcan-senpai's training menu is designed by me based on your physical limit. After all, Vulcan-senpai is only a high school student, and his bones and muscles are not yet fully developed. If you are mature, you can’t increase the amount of training you want. Moreover, the Vulcan-senpai’s ZONE itself consumes a lot of energy. If you compare your energy to a bucket of water, then the ZONE is the largest faucet on the bucket, and all the water gushes out Yes, it will be light soon. When ZONE is turned on, physical exhaustion is a normal phenomenon, so Vulcan senior really doesn’t need to worry about today’s game, it’s not your fault, let alone any of us.” She poked the rice in the bowl, and returned the onion that Heizi had picked up calmly, "Senior Lizi is right, it's just that our strength has not reached it, and we can overcome this with more practice in the future." The problem, there's no need for Vulcan-senpai to take the responsibility on himself—and so is Hinata-senpai, don't be sad anymore!"

That junior who was crying miserably on the sidelines could say such rational words in a blink of an eye, it really makes people feel that the world is unpredictable and life is impermanent.

Seirin's team members glanced at Hasegawa Shiho inquisitively.

That night, Vulcan, who was physically and mentally exhausted and wasted too much, fell asleep.According to the past practice, Vulcan should not be able to close his eyelids all night when there is a game the next day, but he slept soundly and calmly today, which is obviously because he can't keep up with energy.

Heizi, who lived in the same room as Vulcan, looked at him silently for a while, and then went to bed early.

The next morning, Seirin played against Shutoku.

Hasegawa Shiho, who has had enough energy, is waiting for Midorima to borrow a lucky item this time.But it's a pity that Midorima's lucky item today has nothing to do with her.

In order to ensure that he can once again win the favor of the goddess of victory from Xiude, Seirin is working hard this time.Even though they had exhausted a lot of physical strength in yesterday's match against Luoshan, this group of athletic teenagers was full of vigor after all, and they were fully recovered after only one night's rest.Besides, it wasn't just Seirin who had a match yesterday, the semi-final between Xiude and Haichang was even more intense yesterday morning, and it was even delayed until overtime to decide the winner.Therefore, Hidetoku's main team members and Seirin's team members were equally exhausted and also suffered the blow of failure.

"And we have another advantage." Hasegawa Shiho clenched the ballpoint pen tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, "We have defeated Shutoku in important matches several times, no matter what the difference is, this is always a fact. Facing us, they will more or less have some psychological burdens, especially some players with low qualifications and poor psychological quality. It is still the old saying, try to break up Midorima and Takao, and don't let them play their best. Adding one is greater than two'. At the same time, we must pay close attention to the cooperation between Vulcan senior and Heizi senior, if there is a slight move by Xiude, we will immediately prevent them from dismantling our trump card combination."

Under the siege tactics of Hasegawa Shiho and Aida Reiko, Hidetoku finally lost to Seirin by three points.

After the match with Hidetoku, Aida Reiko thought with tears in her eyes, if it wasn't for Kuroko's lack of proficiency in using the improved skills and lack of some factors that are sure to succeed, if it wasn't for the fact that Kagami was exhausted and forced to Withdrew early, if it wasn't for Muji's injury that restricted him from playing, if... Maybe he could really win the game yesterday afternoon.

——But how can there be so many "ifs" in the world?

In this year's national competition, Seirin won the third place, which ended the long journey of the whole summer.However, it is time to start the Winter Cup journey.

Once the third place competition is over, there is only one most important match left in the afternoon: the championship match between Haichang and Luoshan.

The national final was a high-profile event in itself.Out of a curiosity about who can be No.1, many students who thought the national competition was boring also came to watch the final battle. In addition, the teams of both sides in the final had good looks and talents. The high-quality boys attracted the attention of a large number of girls, so the gymnasium was overcrowded for a while, and it was almost hard to get a ticket.

In the frenzy caused by the national competition finals, there were actually two girls who sneered at this.

They are Yuki Mikoto and Hasegawa Shiho.

Obviously, the match between Luoshan and Haichang will start soon, and many school teams even made a special trip to watch this highest-level match in the high school basketball world. Even Hasegawa Renichi was studying which player is better through the live TV broadcast. It is suitable for the national team, but Hasegawa Shiho has become childish again, insisting on watching the video after returning home, and does not want to go to the gymnasium to watch the live version of the finals.

Yuki Mikoto, who always liked to compete with Hasegawa Shiho, seconded: "I don't want to watch the final either."

In order to keep out of sight, the two girls who also hated Luoshan went shopping together hand in hand.

This situation made Aida Reiko mutter: Don't the two of them have conflicts?Why did you form an alliance so quickly?When did this happen...

In the end, Luoshan won the victory and successfully defended the championship of the national competition.

This unsuspecting result was sent by Aida Reiko to the mobile phones of Shiho Hasegawa and Mikoto Yuki in the form of emails.

Seeing this email, the two girls "hummed" at the same time.

Haichang, who won the runner-up, did not feel much joy. After all, everyone is aiming at the championship, and no one wants to be a loser.Even knowing that No.2 is a rare and good result, Kise still shed a few tears because of losing to Luoshan.

After wiping away his tears, Kise packed up his things, thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that Heizi had come to watch the game, so he called Heizi and asked him if he wanted to go to the summer festival with him: "Our sea is often There is a big shrine nearby! Festivals are held in summer every year! There is a fireworks display tonight, and it is rare for Xiao Heizi to come to Kanagawa. Since everyone is here, I will be the host! Let’s go out and play together, shall we? "

Heizi thought for a while, and then said to Kise: "Please wait for a moment, I will ask other people if they want to go first." Then he hung up Kise's call unceremoniously, and said "Oh, but I I only invited you, Xiao Heizi, alone" was selectively ignored.

"Coach." Heizi walked behind Aida Reiko, "Do you know Hasegawa-san's cell phone number?"

"--Kunoko!" Aida Reiko, who was startled by Heizi again, gave him a reproachful look, "But... why do you want Xiaozhiho's cell phone number?" Although she asked like this, she The movements in his hands were not slow, and he found out Hasegawa Shiho's cell phone number in two or three clicks, and told Heizi the number.

Immediately, Kuroko dialed Hasegawa Shiho's cell phone number and politely asked her if she would like to participate in the summer festival and watch a fireworks display by the way: "Kise-kun invited the two of us to play at the shrine near his school and said yes There will be a festival today, and there will be a fireworks display tonight. Would Hasegawa-senpai be willing to go and see it? If yes, I will reply to Kise-kun, and then we will gather outside the main gate of Haichang."

Hasegawa Shiho felt that shopping was boring, so he readily agreed.

The award ceremony for the national competition was scheduled for the morning after the final.When booking a room, Aida Reiko considered that the final of the national competition would occasionally be postponed by one or two days, so she directly ticked a week in the time column.Therefore, Seirin and the others decided to stay in Kanagawa for one more night before leaving for Tokyo at noon tomorrow.

Since all the games were over and the evening time was free for everyone, Kuroko explained the situation to Reiko Aida, and then went to Kaichang with Hasegawa Shiho.

——I don’t know if the fireworks display at the Kanagawa Summer Festival is interesting?
