Chapter 387 Murasakibara Atsushi (17)
The finals have begun.
Having just listened to Kuroko Tetsuya's talk about the Teiko period not long ago, Seirin and the others were very energetic and looked full of energy.
Kagami Daigo opened fire at full force at the start of the game and entered the zone with a "meteor dunk".
In order not to waste the good opportunity created by Kagami Daiga, Aida Reiko immediately decided to replace Kuroko Tetsuya with a player who is more suitable for defense.
Seeing this, Yun Ci smiled and took out a water bottle that everyone was familiar with from her bag.
Several people on the bench couldn't help but shiver, and cast 'good luck to you' looks at the Kagami Daigo who was attacking frantically.
Vulcan gave me a start, but I was too careless to think much about it and focused on the happy game of basketball.
Yun Ci put the potion aside, and her eyes fell silently on a person in the field. The man noticed her gaze, turned his head and met Yun Ci's gaze, and was stunned for a moment.
Dai Qianxun looked at Yun Ci several times and finally confirmed that she was indeed looking at him, even if he used eye contact to induce her.
But fortunately, she is the only one who noticed me.
It’s okay for those who don’t play to be seen…right?
"Beep—"
"——It's just as Xiaoci said." Hinata Junpei wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, "But it's really hard to keep an eye on it. If you're not careful, you'll lose it."
"It takes time to adapt. After all, Zhe has only given you special training for a few days." Yun Ci handed the water to each of them and put the special drink in Kagami Daigo's hand. "He will definitely start to exert his strength next. You..."
"Beep—"
The second quarter begins.
After the small meeting, the regular players of Seirin still went on the court full of energy. Akashi Seijuro looked at their expressions and shifted his gaze to Yun Ci.
Yun Ci waved at him with a smile.
Akashi Seijuro: "..."
A bad feeling.
As expected, Dai Chihiro, who was being guarded by Kuroko Tetsuya, had almost no chance to pass the ball. But unlike Kuroko Tetsuya, Dai Chihiro could do more than just pass the ball, he could also shoot, and very accurately.
But pitching means scoring, and scoring means getting attention.
The 'new sixth phantom man' who has received much attention cannot have a weak presence...
In the previous game, the attention that was paid to Kuroko Tetsuya for scoring the winning goal gradually shifted to Dai Chihiro, and he once again returned to a state of weak presence.
The plan failed.
Immediately afterwards, Reo Mibuchi, who planned to provoke Junpei Hinata into committing a foul, also failed.
Reo Mibuchi looked at Junpei Hinata who seemed to have figured out his playing style long ago, and apologized to Seijuro Akashi helplessly.
Seirin played very smoothly in this match.
But Akashi Seijuro is not the kind of person who would sit back and wait for failure.
He watched his plans fail one after another and finally lost his patience. He decided to abandon his teammates and rely on his own fighting style.
however--
Basketball is not a game that can be played by just one person.
The blow of failure made Akashi Seijuro a little dazed, and he floated around the basketball court like a wandering soul. The coach of Rakusan High School had no choice but to exercise his right to the last timeout and try to replace Akashi Seijuro.
Dai Chihiro's sudden outburst brought back the former Akashi Seijuro.
He and Seijuro have distinct temperaments and were recognized as soon as they appeared on the stage.
It's not just Kuroko Tetsuya on the field, but also the 'Generation of Miracles' watching from the sidelines.
"That familiar way of passing the ball..."
"He was right."
Yun Ci watched and murmured softly, "Suddenly I had the illusion that the white moonlight had returned..."
Aida Reiko didn't hear clearly, so she moved a little closer: "Xiaoci, what did you say?"
"I said, this is going to be difficult." Yun Ci crossed her legs, rested her elbows on her knees, and held her chin up, looking at the figure in the field from afar. "I didn't expect him to come back at this time. The game has just begun."
"he?"
"The Akashi of the past."
Aida Reiko looked at the field in surprise. Kuroko Tetsuya was talking to Hinata Junpei at this time, obviously informing his teammates about this matter.
Akashi's return led all members of Rakuzan into the zone state. Kagami Taigo, who had been unable to completely open the door he saw in the zone state, finally saw the figure guarding the door at the moment he bumped fists with Kuroko Tetsuya.
At that moment, Aomine Daiki, who was standing on the high platform, seemed to have seen something as well, and raised his hands to cover his face, as if crying and laughing.
"turn out to be……"
"So this is ah……"
It turned out that it wasn't a gatekeeper who needed to be driven away.
But they are your companions who are waiting for you to look back.
Tao Jing Satsuki looked at Aomine Daiki with tears falling down his cheeks, and just shouted sadly:
"Ada..."
In the field.
Seirin is almost in a state of sharing a brain.
Almost with just a glance from the other person, the other person can perceive what his partner means and arrive at the place where he needs to catch the ball in advance.
Luo Shan on the other side was not to be outdone. The two sides were evenly matched until the last section, with only a few seconds left.
The basketball fell into the hands of Kuroko Tetsuya.
Akashi Seijuro remembered Kuroko Tetsuya's last shot and rushed over with all his might to try to block it.
“Kuroko——!”
The shadow of the basketball slowly moved downward, revealing the face of Kuroko Tetsuya behind it.
He had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Akashi Seijuro.
"——I am a shadow."
The basketball passed through Akashi Seijuro's arm and fell steadily into the hands of Kagami Taiga who had already jumped high in advance.
'boom--! '
"Beep—"
The digital jump on the integrator.
Seirin won by 1 point.
"lose……"
Akashi Seijuro felt that this was a truly bitter word.
He forced a smile, walked towards Kuroko Tetsuya and extended his hand.
"Congratulations, Kuroko, but we won't lose next time—"
Streamers fluttering.
Flowers are flying.
The gold medal gleamed in the light.
Yun Ci held a video recorder in one hand and a camera in the other, and kept taking pictures of the people on the podium.
Several people pressed shoulder to shoulder, squeezed together tightly, then pointed in the direction of Yun Ci, raised the trophy and gold medal, and smiled brightly.
"Xiaoci! Let's take a photo together——"
"Okay." Yun Ci stuffed the camera into Akashi Seijuro's hands without hesitation, "Akashi, hurry up, take a picture for me too!"
Akashi Seijuro was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly, a gentle smile.
"You're still the same, Xiaoci."
"You haven't changed much."
"But..." Akashi Seijuro smiled: "I really didn't expect that you would choose to join the basketball club, Xiaoci."
Yun Ci smiled embarrassedly, and just as she opened her mouth, she heard Akashi Seijuro speak again.
He looked at the others from Seirin and shook his head slightly, "Well, the atmosphere is indeed much better than it was back in Teikou."
Akashi Seijuro waved his hand at Yunci: "Go over quickly, the shooting is about to begin——"
"--eggplant!"
