[Black Basket] One day you will have the same name as me

"Haha, are you so surprised to see me?" The visitor straightened up and walked towards the Flower Palace.

"This is really a rare visitor, Imayoshi Shoichi." Hua Gong squinted.

"Ha, let's at least call him senior, at least I attended classes in the same school and played in the same team."

"Then what's the matter with this respected senior looking for me, a junior?"

"What an unlovable junior, it's rare for me to put down what I'm doing to solve your problems."

"what?"

"Shimizu Makoto, I heard you are worried about that woman?"

"What?!" Even Hua Gong, who was good at disguising, was too late to be prepared when someone suddenly pierced her mind, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

"Hahaha, you're right. Then, let's find a place to chat for a while?" Imayoshi squinted his eyes, spoke in a Kansai accent, and exuded a black-bellied aura all over his body.

Huagong was helpless, he really wanted to know how this dark-bellied senior learned about such a thing, so he had to follow along.The two randomly found a burger restaurant to sit down, ordered some food and drink, and finally settled down and started talking.

"Where did you hear the rumors?" Hua Gong asked angrily.

"Rumor? It doesn't look like it. Your expression just now has betrayed everything."

So I hate playing psychological warfare with this kind of person the most!Huagong thought angrily.When they were in junior high school, the two often discussed tactics together, and of course they also played games together. He almost never won games like card guessing.Imayoshi's intelligence is not in the same direction as him. Huamiya is better at tactical research, but he is good at guessing the opponent's mental state on the court.By the way, in a sense, this guy's personality is even worse than Huagong's.

Although Hua Gong likes to pretend to deceive people, but once the prototype is exposed, he does not hide his ridicule towards the other party, so the other party often becomes furious when he learns that he has been cheated.Imyoshi boiled a frog in warm water. Every sentence was like a set. At the beginning, I didn’t feel much. The more I found the unpleasant feeling in this person’s words. When I fully reacted, I already knew it. Juezhong has been mocked a thousand or eight hundred times by the other party.Therefore, whether it is the middle school where Huagong is located or in Tonghuang, the team members all have a consensus, that is, Mao Jinyoshi must not be messed with, or he will die ugly, and it will leave a psychological shadow.

"When it comes to bullying, no one is better than me." This sentence is one of Imayoshi's famous sayings, and Hanamiya has no doubts about its correctness.In terms of destroying the flower palace, it is well-deserved in terms of bullying Imayoshi. The opponent is played and applauded by the black-bellied glasses like a child.Even Huagong still feels a little embarrassed in front of this senior. If possible, he really doesn't want to deal with this guy with a worse personality than himself.

Hua Gong let out a "hum", expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Well, don't show such a scary expression." Imayoshi waved his hand, "I got the information from our lovely manager, Momoi, Tonghuang."

"Tonghuang?" Huagong didn't understand what this had to do with Tonghuang.

"And the earliest source of information seems to be Chengcheng High School. I heard that you played a practice match with them, and in that match, you left your teammates and went to watch Seirin's practice match?"

Depend on!Hua Gong couldn't help roaring in his heart, which instantly reminded him of the scene that day.Later, I heard from Guqiao that it was Cheng Cheng, the center named Narumi, who gave a little nudge, and they realized that Hanamiya might have taken a fancy to Seirin's manager, Shimizu.But he never thought that Chengcheng's people would gossip like this, and actually spread the matter to Tong Huang.

"Haha, it seems that's the case." Seeing the uncertain expression on Huagong's face, Imayoshi's squinted eyes became more slender, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Knowing that there is no point in pretending to be crazy in front of this black-bellied spectacles, Huagong simply said: "So, what does this have to do with you? Even if you are Tonghuang's OB (Note: Japanese club retired senior), that manager wouldn’t tell you this kind of gossip about other schools, would he?”

"Well, of course, that's what I asked myself."

"why?"

"Well... I was asked to do so." Imayoshi adjusted his glasses.

Back to the night before, Seto, who got the contact information from Asai, tried to make a call.

"Hello, this is Momoi, who is it?" A nice female voice came from the receiver.

"Hi, I'm Kentaro Seto from the Kirisaki First Basketball Club."

"Eh? Kirisaki Daiichi's Seto-senpai?" Momoi was obviously surprised.

"I want to ask, do you have the contact information of your former captain Imayoshi Shoichi?"

"Imayoshi-senpai? There are some, please wait a moment. Ah, I found it, it is XXX-XXXX-XXXX."

"thank you very much."

"Ah, wait a minute, Seto-senpai."

"Ok?"

"May I ask what you want to do with Imayoshi-senpai? Senior has retired and went to college. If it's something about our team, maybe it would be more convenient for me to ask." That's what he said, but in fact Momoi is very concerned about it in his heart, how about How can I say that gossip is a woman's nature, not to mention that she is good at collecting data, and she doesn't want to miss any troubles.

"Ah, it has nothing to do with your team. It is a private matter for me to find Imayoshi."

"That's it."

"Thank you again and goodbye."

"Huh—" Seto let out a long sigh of relief, then stared at the number on the note and became nervous. Now is the time to start.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

"Hi, this is Imayoshi, who is it?" Imayoshi answered the phone with a Kansai accent.

"Hi, I'm Seto Kentaro from the Kirisaki No. [-] Basketball Club, and I want to ask you, Imayoshi-senpai, something."

"Kirisaki Daiichi's Seto? Haha, I'm still wondering who this strange number could be. It's a completely unexpected guest. So, what do you want to ask me?"

"That..." Seto frowned. As a native of Tokyo, he was not used to listening to the Kansai dialect, but he endured it, "Actually, I'm a little worried about Hanamiya."

"Huagong? Ah, what's wrong with my lovely junior?"

"How should I put it, because something happened, I'm completely out of shape recently. I can't tell you about the specific things. In short, as the deputy minister, what should I do? Personally, it's very troublesome The thing is, even though I am the deputy minister, Huagong almost manages the team by himself. I am just a person who likes to sleep in. But recently, I feel more and more uneasy when I see Huagong's state. I just don't know what to do to let He cheered up. You also understand Huagong's character. If you really go to say something to him, if you say something wrong, it will probably get worse. His kind of self-esteem is super strong. I hide all my thoughts by myself and never tell anyone, no matter how good our relationship is, it’s not good enough to talk about it.”

"So, you want to untie his knot?"

"Not exactly. I heard that your junior high school belongs to the same school, and I'm sorry for being rude. I think you have similarities in all aspects, so I want to ask you, for a minister with this personality, as a What should we do with members and friends. He is not required to open his heart, as long as he can stabilize the state, after all, IH's trials are only a few days away."

"Hey, Seto, you are unexpectedly a very reliable friend, Hanamiya is lucky."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Understood, I'll go meet this troublesome junior."

"Eh? No, I mean, I'll..."

"As you said just now, I have similarities with him in all aspects, and maybe I can really grasp his psychology better than you, maybe I can find out what he is worried about from him?"

"Uh, can this kind of thing be done?"

"Haha, I'm the best at bullying cute juniors, so just leave it to me."

"what..."

"Then that's it, I will go to see Huagong tomorrow."

"please."

"What are you talking about, at least I had a good relationship with that guy when I was in junior high school. If the younger generation has troubles, the senior should naturally help solve the problems, haha."

Knowing that Imayoshi is a black-bellied man, Seto breaks into a cold sweat for no reason, until he hangs up the phone, he still prays silently for Hanamiya: "I seem to have made a big deal out of it?"

"Hello, this is Momoi. Is this Imayoshi-senpai?"

"Ah, long time no see, Momoi."

"Yes. Have you received a contact from Seto-senpai from Kirisaki Daiichi?"

"Well, I just talked to him on the phone, so I'm here to ask you for some information. Do you know anything about Kirisaki Daiichi's recent situation?"

"Is it Kirisaki Daiichi?" When she realized that she could have a hand in this matter, Momoi immediately became motivated, and she immediately opened the recent notes, "The most recent big event should be the one with Makoto not long ago." A practice match for Rin."

"Oh? And the result."

"We lost, and Kirisaki was first, and it was a disastrous defeat."

"Huh? Since when did the gap between Seirin and Kirisaki Daiichi become so big?"

"No, through my investigation, Seirin seems to have gone prepared and completely blocked the other party's fouls and cobwebs. What makes people concerned is that Hara Kazuya and Yamazaki Hiroshi were sent off for five offenses, and Furuhashi Kojiro It's four offences, very dangerous."

"Where are Hanamiya and Seto?"

"Kentaro Seto had only one foul, and captain Makoto Hanamiya, no foul."

"Hey, these are really two extremes."

"Yes."

"Let's talk about how Seirin managed to completely block the actions of those 'bad boys'."

"About this, our Emperor Tong also has a little headache."

"Ok?"

"He's a formidable opponent, Seirin's new manager, Makoto Shimizu."

"Seirin hired a manager? Wait, MAKOTO? A girl?" Imayoshi asked because he found that the pronunciation of "Makoto" was the same as Hanamiya Makoto's "Shin".

"Yes, girl. Konno Makoto's Makoto." (Note: Konno Makoto is the heroine of the Japanese animated film "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time")

"Haha, the name is interesting."

"In short, she is an extremely intelligent character, she..."

"Ah, wait, Momoi, let's stop this topic. The Hanamiya I know is not someone who will be devastated because of a miserly loss in a practice match, even if the opponent is Seirin or that female manager named MAKOTO. But a man who has seen hell. Something must have happened.”

"Have you ever seen hell?" Momoi was puzzled.

"What are you wondering about? As the former manager of Teiko Basketball Club, you know best, right? Huagong was once defeated by you guys."

"This..." As someone who has been there, how could Momoi not understand what Imayoshi is talking about. In those three years, she had seen countless players who were defeated by Teiko and fell into a slump. Impossible to forget.What's more, because of the abandonment of a player named Inoue, her childhood sweetheart Qingfeng lost interest in chasing victory in basketball for a long time.

"Think again, has anything else happened to Kirisaki Daiichi recently?"

"Probably not. The other practice matches seemed to be going well, and even defeated Chengcheng when Senior Huagong was away."

"Is Huagong not here?"

"I heard that I went to see Seirin's practice match on the day of the game. Later, we also played a match with Chengcheng, and they told us. By the way, the center named Narumi also said that Hanamiya-senpai seemed to like it. Shimizu-san. Ah, I'm sorry, Imayoshi-senpai probably won't be interested in this kind of gossip."

"Hahahaha, how can you not be interested. Hanamiya likes Seirin's female manager? Aren't he and Seirin dead enemies?"

"Uh, well, Narumi-san said it was his intuition."

"Puhahaha, this Narumi is really funny. I see, I understand, thank you, Momoi."

"Huh? Is that enough?"

"Ah, that's all right. Then let's go for the game——that is, your words must be fine. Goodbye."

"Uh..." Momoi looked at the phone that had been hung up, and felt that his thinking could not keep up with this senior.

"Could it be that Imayoshi-senpai came here just to inquire about the fact that Huagong-senpai might like Shimizu-san?"
