I really don’t want to play basketball

After returning to Teiguang, after Shirogane Kozo instructed each player to rest and safety, he announced his disbandment.

And because it was just in time for class, Araki Hikoichi and Momoi May Aomomine Daiki decided to sit outside for a while, and then wait until the class was over before returning to the classroom.

After all, it’s not good to interrupt the teacher’s lecture!

Finding a good reason for skipping class, the three of them skipped another class together before returning to class.

By the end of the afternoon class, there were no other activities in the basketball club, so Arakihiko called Masako Araki and decided to be a rare member of the “Homecoming Club”.

The phone was picked up after a few rings, and before Araki could speak, he heard Masako Araki’s roar from inside, but it didn’t seem to be close to the phone, so although Araki Hikoichi could hear his sister Masako roaring, the voice was not too high.

“You guys continue to train me, if I dare to find that one of you is lazy, the training of all staff will be doubled!”

After these words, Masako Araki’s normal voice came out of the phone.

“Hey, little ghost, what’s the matter?”

Arakihiko came to ask Masako Araki to pick him up, and suddenly he was a little speechless.

Arakihiko hesitated for a moment before he spoke, “That… Sister Masako, are you training the seniors of Yangquan High School now? ”

“Of course, after all, the junior high school league is the end of the high school league, and there are only a few days left… Hey, clean up and run for me! As if something was happening on the other end of the phone, Arakihiko vaguely heard the sound of something flying out, followed by a scream.

Araki Hikoichi inexplicably remembered the bamboo sword that Masako Araki always liked to bring with him….

“Alas, this group of guys makes me not worry at all, although the tickets for the national competition are in hand, but with their level, they are still far away from wanting to win the national championship… If only they had talents like yours…”

Is it talent again!

Arakihiko became irritable.

He spoke again: “That Masako, our first day of competition is over, we won!” ”

Araki tried to get his tone a little excited, he hoped that Masako Araki would praise him.

But Masako Araki didn’t, “Isn’t that normal?” After all, you are trained by me, how is your strength, I naturally know, besides, the strength of Diguang Middle School is already strong, otherwise why do you think I would send you to Diguang Middle School… Forget it, don’t talk about it, I’m going to be busy with the training of that group of guys, don’t talk about it. ”

“Click”, Masako Araki hung up the phone cleanly, listening to the prompt of the call interruption on the phone, Araki Hikoichi opened his mouth a little confused, looking at his mouth shape, it seemed that he wanted to say something like “bye-bye”.

He stood in place dumbly, lowered his head a little dejectedly, and muttered in a low voice: “Champion… Talent…”

“Sister Masako knows this…”

“I just… I just want a compliment…”

Under the gradually westward sun, Arakihiko stood alone at the school gate, his mouth slightly deflated, and he felt very wronged.

Then he rubbed his face, trying to suppress the emotion he wanted to cry back, he pulled the corners of his mouth ugly, and said to himself: “Still… Forget it, it’s going to take a long time… Let’s go back to the classroom and sit for a while. ”

“Sister Masako… It’s been a long time before you pick me up…”

……

The second day of the National Junior High School League.

Teiko Middle School has already obtained information about his opponent, and likewise, Arakihiko and others who are the main players also skip class to watch the video of their opponent who is about to play today because they want to know the information of their opponent.

The council of Diguang Middle School naturally gives the greatest convenience to the basketball department of its own enrollment hall, so at this time of year, the teacher also consciously ignores the absence of the basketball team members.

And by the time Araki Hikoichi and Aomomine Daiki arrived at the basketball club, the other few people had almost arrived, and it didn’t take long to arrive, and the last one who arrived was Shogo Haizaki who dragged Hongmura with a blue nose and a swollen face.

“Ah, this ah~” Watching Arakihiko unconsciously focus his gaze on the lying corpse Shogo Haizaki, Hongmura Shuzo waved his hand with a smile, “Just now, when I was walking to the basketball department, I happened to see this guy excited to take this opportunity to sneak out of school to play games, so I educated this cute junior, and then brought him over by the way, how, do you have any opinions?” ”

Looking at Hongcun Shuzo’s smiling gaze, everyone shook their heads quickly.

“No, no, no, you did a good job, please take it out.”

Under the deterrence of their own captain, everyone wisely chose to turn a blind eye.

……

“Your opponent today may be a little tricky, and you have to take it very seriously.” In the broadcast room, the assistant coach said a word before starting, and then the video began.

The assistant coach’s attitude and advice made everyone a little puzzled, but then they understood that their opponent today must be very strong, so they all watched the video seriously.

At the beginning of the videotape, it is the jumping ball of the game.

The two sides are Teruei Middle School, wearing a white dark red patterned uniform, and Nishida Middle School, wearing a black dark pattern.

The jumping ball was won by Nishida Middle School, but then when the ball was passed, the point guard of Nishida Middle School strangely passed to his teammates who clearly had a player from Teruei Middle School nearby.

The result was obvious, the pass was broken, and Teruei Middle School scored first.

In the following time, the attack of Teruei Middle School was almost unstoppable, and Nishida Middle School was powerless to fight back, especially after halftime, Nishida Middle School’s main point guard left the field with five offenses, and the situation after that was completely directed to Teruei Middle School.

By the end of the tape, the eyes of all the selected players were full of solemnity.

Such an opponent is almost the top level in the country.

So this is the weird elimination mechanism of the national competition, if you are lucky, the weak team meets the weak team all the way, and finally the general is promoted inside, and the weak team luckily enters the championship and runner-up battle, and then is bloodied, but even so, people are still runners-up.

Therefore, in this elimination nature of the junior high school league, luck is also a very important part, such as today’s Diguang Middle School is about to face Zhaorong Middle School, they dare to pack tickets, if Diguang Middle School really defeated Zhaorong Middle School to enter the final, the final opponent may not necessarily have the strength of Zhaorong Middle School.

After watching the videotape, Bai Jingzao and these coaches did not ask the players what they thought, and the assistant coach directly closed the video, but projected a piece of information.

“Next is the introduction of the members of Teruei Middle School, first of all, the captain of Teruei Middle School: small forward, Shoichi Imayoshi.”

While speaking, a squinting boy wearing glasses with a smile on his mouth, and at the same time the same as Shirogane Cultivation appeared in front of the eyes of everyone in Diguang, but inexplicably, everyone always felt that this guy named Shoichi Imanyoshi must have a very bad personality….

“A third-year student, 180cm tall, extremely offensive ability, and a variety of playing styles, it is quite tricky.”

“Next up is their point guard, Shin Hanamiya!”

Also appearing in front of everyone in Diguang was a young man with a pair of thick eyebrows, the young man was a little too white, and there was a gloomy smile between his eyebrows.

Araki couldn’t help but frown and muttered, “It’s really uncomfortable…”

“Height 179cm, his habits you have also seen, control the overall situation, seduce broken balls, and of course, fake fouls!”

When mentioning fake fouls, the assistant coach aggravated the tone, the so-called fake fouls actually have no clear concept, in layman’s terms, it refers to the player’s initiative to touch the opponent’s body according to the rules, resulting in the referee judging the opponent’s foul behavior, such as shooting is to lure the opponent to jump, and then deliberately hit the opponent’s defensive hand to achieve the purpose of serving the ball.

“Of course, maybe it’s not obvious through the videotape, but this Hanamiya real player seems to like to engage in small movements, and needs special attention!”

“Next, there’s their center forward, Teppei Muyoshi.”

This time, he appeared in front of everyone and changed to the face of an honest man with short hair and a kind smile.

“Height 192cm, second grade, his basketball strength is particularly solid, his feet are flexible, his own strength is not weak, and he is also a top center in junior high schools in the country.”

“And their power forwards and shooting guards are also good, and overall, they are a very strong team.”

……

Just as Teiguang Middle School is watching the video of Teruei Middle School, the people of Teruhirong Middle School are also watching the video of the match between Teiguang Middle School and Uesaki Middle School.

“Eh—that’s really good…,” Hanamiya said with a seemingly harmless smile, pointing to a red-haired figure in the tape, “Is this guy the point guard at Diguang Middle School?” It looks so short, but the talent should be good… Hey. ”

Hanamiya smiled.

“Hanamiya what do you want to do again?” The honest man Muji Tieping on the side frowned, “Can’t you not take out those tricks?” Basketball should be a dignified duel with strength on the court! ”

“Eh—how does that work?” Hua Gong smiled indifferently, “They are geniuses, I heard that the Diguang Middle School appeared in the videotape except for Hongcun Xiuzao, all of them are newcomers, so many geniuses, how can they be their opponents… So, it’s better to break one or two, it’s better to deal with some, right? ”

“You…” Muji Teppei on the side wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Imayoshi Sho’s smile.

“Well, okay, stop arguing.”

“The game hasn’t started yet… Let’s start the civil war first, are you idle and have nothing to do? ”

Imayoshi Sho’s tone without any ups and downs made the two of them quiet at the same time.

Hanamiya’s real smile was still gloomy, but it was a little stiff in front of Shoichi Imayoshi.
