[Black Basket] Warm Mist

Not long after the start of the second semester, in order to welcome the upcoming autumn national sports meeting in October, all the teams that stand out in national competitions such as summer league and winter cup have received notices to recruit players.

The Autumn National Sports Conference, also known as "Autumn National Sports", consists of prefectures and counties as units to participate in the competition. There are many competitions, including basketball, tennis, baseball, etc. There are both social groups for adults and high school groups for teenagers.

The location of the Autumn National Sports Festival is different every year, but this year it will be held in Tokyo.Since it is a competitive competition between regions, all the best players in the region are selected.

There has always been a saying in the high school basketball circle that there are "three major high school basketball events".The three major events are the National High School League in summer, the National Athletic Conference in autumn, and the trials in winter.

The national high school league in summer, also known as the national competition, is the biggest event of all high school sports events, and has always been highly valued; the trials in winter are also called winter cups. Will be selected for the national team, coupled with the growing interest in this event, so it is also highly regarded.

In recent years, the number of participating teams in Autumn National Sports has decreased a lot. It is hoped that in this way, more first-class players can be gathered in the same team to make the game more interesting.However, this approach has greatly reduced the public's attention, making the Autumn National Sports gradually less famous than the National Competition and the Winter Cup.

Even so, the Autumn National University is still a contest between the strong and the strong, and the schools that can receive relevant notices must be strong schools with a good reputation in a certain field.

Although it is a new club in a newly built school, Seirin's basketball club was invited because of its outstanding performance for three consecutive years.

The Seirin school expressed strong support for this, and the principal also specifically praised the basketball team by name at the morning meeting on Monday.

During the lunch break, the retired third-year members made a special trip to call the incumbent basketball club leader to the rooftop to have a meal together.

"We have never been invited before, since we have this opportunity to exercise ourselves this year, we must fight for it!" Hinata, the former captain of Seirin's basketball team, looked very proud, "In any case, this is our sincerity. Recognition from the Rin basketball club. We third graders have retired, but we can still silently cheer for everyone behind the scenes! Anyway, cheers everyone!"

While the former captain was giving an impassioned speech, Hasegawa Shiho sat next to Aida Reiko.

The two girls chatted quietly while eating lunch.

Aida Reiko, who was unable to bring her own bento due to poor cooking skills, could only eat bread sold at the school canteen.She tore open the packaging bag and took a bite of the bread with strawberry jam inside: "Hmm... Where is Xiao Zhiho, Mikoto? I haven't seen her much recently..."

"Sister Yuki?" Hasegawa Shiho opened the lid of the bento box, held up the chopsticks and thought for a while, "Sister Yuki is not in good spirits these days. A few days ago, she said that she would help everyone wash the team uniforms, but she put A lot of clothes were stuffed into the washing machine, and I forgot to press the switch when I turned my head. I just found out after soaking in it for two days... and the last training schedule was the same. I accidentally wrote an extra zero. I really ran back and forth for [-] minutes every day according to the schedule she copied."

——At that time, everyone ran to Hasegawa Shiho in disbelief to ask if there was any problem with the training schedule, which is still fresh in her memory.

"Really..." Aida Reiko swallowed the bread in her mouth, and sighed deeply, "I guessed it would happen. Mikoto doesn't seem to care about anything, but actually has a lot of things on her mind. During the national competition... Alright, stop talking."

The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, then bowed their heads and ate their respective lunches.

After Aida Reiko finished eating the bread, she asked Hasegawa Shiho again: "The selection for the camp will start next week, what are you going to do? Did the organizer ask us to send some people to help?"

The so-called "selection dormitory" refers to a one-week dormitory where all the selected basketball team members of the school are invited to participate.During the camp period, special training will be carried out according to the characteristics of the players, and at the same time, outstanding players will be selected from them to form the strongest Tokyo representative team.Because the coach of the representative team will be determined during the camp, so some excellent coaches from well-known schools are also on the list of campers.

In addition, some people who know a little about basketball are needed to run errands to help during the camping training, so each school also sent a manager of the basketball department to accompany them.

——If it wasn’t for Hinata and the others who had already strengthened their belief in further studies and were unwilling to waste their precious study time on camp training, even if they had already retired, they could still sign up for this camp, and the chances of being selected were very high.

Even if most of the third-year players do not participate in the camp, Hasegawa Shiho still believes that there should be no representative team with a deeper bench than the Tokyo representative team.The Tokyo area has gathered powerful players such as Seirin's Kagami, Kuroko, Hidetoku's Midorima, Takao, and Tonghuang's Aomine and Sakurai. It is estimated that even the coach will have a headache at that time who should be the main starter.

As for who to send to help——

Hasegawa Shiho had already considered this issue.

"I'll just go." Hasegawa Shiho generously pushed the bento box in front of Aida Reiko, "My deep-fried shrimp balls are pretty good today, Reiko-senpai, try it?"

Aida Reiko squeezed a fried shrimp ball from Hasegawa Shiho's bento box: "...Well, it's delicious!"

She couldn't help pinching another one.

But before the second one was in her mouth, Aida Reiko remembered the things she should ask and she didn't answer: "You must not join this camp as a coach, because the coach of the regional team cannot be a high school student ...Then what are you going to do? Doing errands?"

——Xiao Zhiho is not suitable to be a manager at all, can she do these rough jobs?

Aida Reiko was worried.

Hasegawa Shiho said: "Sister Yuki can't go. The school agreed to the request to release people so that they can't delay their studies. Sister Yuki performed abnormally in the test at the beginning of school, and her grades dropped sharply. I heard that she was rejected. The teacher called to talk. Even if the other seniors can get special approval for a week-long camp, the teacher will not agree to let Yuki-senpai go."

"Do you need to sleep together for a week?" Aida Reiko pondered for a moment, "Yes. A week may not allow players from different schools to adapt to each other's playing style. After all, the regional team is composed of players who have hardly cooperated. The team, if you can't get into the game quickly because you are not used to your teammates' style of play... Thinking about it will make you feel terrible. Fortunately, the school supports you to go to the dormitory, as long as you don't delay your studies—anyway, as long as you have a small amount of learning It's fine with Shiho here!"

Hasegawa Shiho said: "So I have to go this time. Because only the selected members of each school are selected, the training of other members must be entrusted to Yuki-senpai. But I am really afraid that Yuki-senpai will... ’ she sighed.

Aida Reiko also sighed with her: "Don't worry about Mikoto, her recovery ability is much better than ours. If it doesn't work, I will go to help. You will only be away for a week at most, and I should be able to make time."

Hasegawa Shiho and Aida Reiko are worried about Yuuki Mikoto, but Seirin's main players are worried about Hasegawa Shiho.

A few days later, on the car heading to the camp, Jiang Qi was pushed out by all the people.

"...Shiho."

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth and shouted, and then there was no further text.

Hasegawa Shiho, who was in charge of distributing the dormitory notices, tilted his head: "Senior Jiangqi?"

"You...cough, do you want to sit down first and then talk?" Furuhata looked at Hasegawa Shiho staggering back and forth on the moving bus in fear, "Let everyone pass this kind of thing to each other sure!"

Hasegawa Shiho, who had just finished distributing the materials, turned his head to comfort Fuqi: "It's okay, I don't have a sense of balance..."

Before the word "wrong" could be said, Hasegawa Shiho fell backward due to the inertia brought by the sharp turn of the bus.Surprise and panic flashed across her face, and she subconsciously waved her arms to grab something.However, as the bus moved forward, the soles of her feet were unstable, and she was about to fall on the back of the chair beside her, knocking her head and bleeding.

At this critical moment, a white hand suddenly stretched out obliquely, firmly supporting Hasegawa Shiho's elbow, and took her to his side with a single lift.

"Please be careful with it."

The owner of the hand reminded Shiho Hasegawa in a low voice.Then, he let go of Hasegawa Shiho's arm, but used that force to push her into the seat.

Hasegawa Shiho stared in shock at Kuroko who had saved his life: "...Thank you, senior."

Heizi, who completed the heroic rescue of the beauty in just three seconds, told her calmly: "Sister, it's safer to sit down."

Furuhata, who was less than one step away from Hasegawa Shiho, wanted to reach out to help her, but unfortunately, when the bus turned, he also fell sideways, unable to help at all, and could only barely stabilize his body.

Fortunately, Hasegawa Shiho's crisis was resolved by Heizi, and he was finally safe and sound.

but--

My performance just now was terrible!How could it be so useless!

Fuhata was annoyed at his powerlessness, and asked Hasegawa Shiho, who was sitting next to Kuroko, with concern, "Are you all right?"

Hasegawa Shiho took a deep breath to calm her mind, then shook her head: "I'm fine, thank you, Senior Fuqi, for your concern." She turned to look at Heizi gratefully, "Thanks to Senior Heizi's timely response, otherwise I would really fall headfirst on the back of the chair , maybe the corner of the eye will be hurt by the handrail, or the head will be smashed or something..."

Heizi interrupted all her conjectures: "It's not that miserable. With me here, I won't hurt you."

Shiho Hasegawa's eyes blinked: "Wow, Senior Kuroko seems to often say such handsome-sounding remarks! Although he looks gentle and weak, he actually hides infinite positive energy. This is probably the cuteness of Senior Kuroko. one of them?"

Heizi also blinked: "Junior girl, you can't use 'cute' to describe a man."

Suddenly feeling like a superfluous person, Fuhata finally remembered the question he wanted to ask before the accident just now, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and interject again: "That... Shiho, we are all very worried about you."

"Worried?" Hasegawa Shiho was puzzled, "Why?"

Fuhata looked at her hesitantly, "You... well, I mean... Shiho, you are the coach of our Seirin basketball team, right? But once you arrive at the dojo, you..."

——Can you adapt to the transformation of identity?

Hasegawa Shiho understood: "Since I took the initiative to sign up to go, I am not afraid of hard work. The most we people are doing is helping with cooking and cleaning."

Heizi added in a flat tone: "It's more likely that other coaches will directly call out to manage the players of each school as soon as they get out of the car."

"Anyway," Hasegawa Shiho put on a pose of "resurrection with full blood on the spot", "I will definitely complete the set task and urge everyone to study hard! Before I left, I promised the teachers that I must not Let the grades of the seniors go back!"

--What?It sounds scary...

At this moment, the backs of every Seirin team member sitting in the car involuntarily felt a chill.
