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

On the last day before the official competition, the practice was coming to an end, looking at Hanamiya who was discussing technical issues with Hara and Yamazaki, a smile appeared on Furuhashi's face.

"Although I don't know what happened, Huagong's condition seems to be back, so I don't have to worry about tomorrow's game." Guqiao said while wiping his sweat.

"Yeah, I can finally feel at ease." Seto, who understood a little bit of the inside story, interfaced, "It's just a little different. He seems to be a little too serious. He always feels as if he is immersed in some world by himself."

"Indeed, the opponent in the first game was just an ordinary school. With our strength, we will not lose. Huagong was so serious that he explained the tactics in detail twice. Well, although I understand that we suddenly want to reduce the number of fouls. Meaning, but don’t be so nervous.”

"It's not nervous. Even if we don't foul at all, we will definitely win. If I have to say it, maybe Huagong is trying something."

"try?"

"In the 3V3 practice match just now, I felt this way when I was facing him, like a prey being watched closely by Huagong. He observed my every move, more than ever before. I have to focus on every practice in the team. As a result, I failed to get rid of his defense and was intercepted by him. Then when he was holding the ball, I thought I had seen through his offense, but I was still caught by his fake action. Lied. It’s not that Huagong can’t cheat, it’s just that I should be able to see through all his possible offensive methods after being together for so long, but I’m a little surprised that I was deceived by him.”

"That's right. Just now, as a teammate, I thought he would pass a few balls to Yamazaki, but it was passed to me suddenly. Well, although I caught a glimpse of him giving me a hint for a moment, but with the previous cooperation Looking at the pattern, it is still very surprising. Is he really studying new tactics, at this point in time when the game is going to be played tomorrow."

"Who knows, Huagong has Huagong's own ideas, so let's just do our own thing well."

"That's right." Guqiao said with a relaxed smile.

Seto looked at Hanamiya's back and thought silently: "That Imayoshi really has a hand, how did he do it, and changed Hanamiya in one night."

As if sensing someone's attention, Hanamiya suddenly turned her head and cast her gaze at Seto, but it was only for a moment before she returned to the matter in front of her.Seto smiled, and decided not to worry about things that had gotten better.

After practice, the players left the arena in twos and threes.Guqiao originally wanted to invite Huagong to go home with him, but was rejected by the other party: "Sorry, you go first, I will practice for a while."

"Tomorrow is the game, so don't work too hard." Guqiao stopped the foot that had already stepped out of the gate.

"It won't be long, just adjust the state again."

"In that case, let's go back first, don't stay too long, Hanamiya." Seto helped Guqiao's shoulder, winked, and walked out of the gate together.

Watching the team members leave one by one until he was the only one left, Huagong was relieved.He picked up the basketball again, got into an offensive position, closed his eyes and began to imagine.It is very common among basketball players to imagine the opponent's defensive style in their minds during single-player practice, so as to determine their own offensive style, but at this moment, what Hua Gong thinks in his mind is a little different.

"It should be like this at this time, no, no, her words are monitoring the audience outside the field, and she will instantly understand my tactical intentions. It will not be so easy if Izuki and Hyuga are marking it.... When encountering this kind of formation I should have teamed up with Seto, wait a minute, this tactic is newly developed, if she finds out, it will be troublesome, if the opponent is only at the level of the preliminary round, there should be a way for me to solve it alone, that's right , You must not expose it until you meet Seirin... What should you do if you encounter this situation? What will you do if her team fights the opponent?..."

For an entire hour, Huagong has been in this state of mind simulation. He is not only simulating the duel with his opponent, but also imagining that Shimizu is watching him from the side.Regardless of whether the imaginary opponent is Seirin or not, Hanamiya will definitely add the mandatory "Shimizu is looking at me" in her mind.Relying on this kind of imagination, his mental power was concentrated several times than before, but it also created an inexplicable alienation for Seto unconsciously, because it was an imaginary world that only Hanamiya himself could enter.

"Mind simulation, you are very good at this, right? You can restore the whole game after watching a game in middle school." Imayoshi looked at Hanamiya with a smile

"Huh? What are you talking about now?"

"You just imagined it in your mind, how about adding that clear water?"

"..."

"Actually, it's really simple. Anyway, it's because of Shimizu that you can't concentrate now. You will unconsciously think about what happened between you and her. Although I don't know what happened to you, it's definitely not a good thing. But in this way, it is equivalent to you entering her world, and your attention will naturally be distracted. But on the other hand, if you pull her into your imaginary world, your spirit will be highly concentrated. In short, Is it similar to the feeling of "Qing Shui is looking at me, if you don't behave well, you will be looked down upon by her"? You should still care about your image in her heart, right? Instead of thinking about embarrassing things, it's better to imagine Some cool scenes? And I heard that that guy is also brainy, isn’t that just right, you might as well think of her as an opponent, for example, “If the opponent does this, how will Shimizu deal with the situation? If she can do it, I will definitely be able to.” Do it like this."

Imayoshi's idea seems ordinary, but Hanamiya really didn't think about it.What Imayoshi said is right, Hanamiya's unstable state is also because from time to time, she will think of Shimizu crying and the words she said, as long as she recalls it, it will be endless.He wanted to force himself not to think about her, but the more he didn't think about those scenes, the easier it was to get into his mind.He has thought about forgetting those things by practicing hard, but this is not a problem that can be solved by forcing his attention.Hanamiya thought about Imayoshi's proposal seriously, but found that it was unexpectedly feasible.Instead of thinking about those unpleasant scenes, he might as well just pull her into his own imaginary world, and watch Shimizu as a threat while restoring the game.The result of this is that I easily regained my state, practiced more focused, and my mind worked much faster than before.

Huagong finally understands why Imayoshi is so good at guessing people's hearts and why he always chooses the most correct words at the best time to deal psychological blows to his opponents.Presumably Imayoshi is also constantly substituting himself, constantly simulating, and putting it into practice after knowing the possible mental state of the other party.Imayoshi was indeed a terrifying man.

"Wait, Shimizu, I will lead the team to fight you again." Hua Gong muttered to himself.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the game arrived. Since it was only the preliminary round, except for the teams that needed to collect information, most of the people would not go to the first day of the game.In the waiting room before the match, Kirisaki Daiichi's players were making their final preparations.

"It's my first time participating in a competition, so I'm a little nervous." The first-year bench player couldn't help rubbing his palms.

"What are you talking about? You don't have the opportunity to appear on the stage. Just stand by and cheer us on." Gu Qiao casually glanced at the newcomer, showing disdain in his words.

"No matter who the opponent is, there is only one thing we have to do - kill them all." Hua Gong fiddled with the things at hand without raising his head.

"Hey, are you such a good man with the lines of the second year?" Yamazaki couldn't help but start his journey of complaining about Huagong.

"It's really a group of people who don't feel nervous. Anyway, it's a formal competition." Yuan changed to a different flavor of bubble gum today, and the color of the bubble gum he blew out was green.

"Could it be that you are nervous?" Yamazaki sneered, turning his head to the side.

"Just kidding, that kind of miscellaneous fish is chopped like vegetables."

Seto didn't participate in the laughter and slapstick of this group of people, he couldn't help but glance at Hanamiya, he was secretly relieved after confirming that his condition was fine.He looked at his palm, and then made a fist again.

"It's time, let's go." Hua Gong casually put on the dark green team uniform jacket, like an emperor going out, putting on a majestic look.All the team members were also infected in an instant, and the laughing expressions just now disappeared, replaced by seriousness and desire for victory.They straightened their chests and followed Huagong to stride towards the court.

"Oh, Kirisaki Daiichi has come out." Someone outside the arena began to call.Although there will not be many people on the first day, there are still people who join in the fun.

"Today's opponents are really pitiful. Do you want to guess how many people will be injured and end?"

"First of all, it must be the main general, right? I heard that they like to attack the main general. Last year, the main generals of Wangwang Quanzhen Pavilion were abolished."

"It's terrible, how can this kind of team still exist in the conference, just because there is the famous five generals without a championship, so let's make an allowance?"

"What are the five generals? The nickname is 'Bad Boy'. What else can they do except foul. It is completely incomparable with the other four."

"Hey, referee! Keep your eyes open and watch Kirisaki Daiichi's foul carefully!"

"We really have attracted much attention." Gu Qiao glanced at the audience.

"What do you care about so much, let's just do our job well." Seto didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and didn't care about all kinds of cynicism from the audience.

"Hmph." Huagong's reaction was even more concise.

"Kisaki's first match against Shinkyo Gakuen starts now!"

"Ha, just in time." Aida Reiko leaned on the railing, just in time to see the kick-off scene, "Huh? Hanamiya and their opponents in the first game happened to be Seirin's opponents in the first game last year. Look, classmate Heizi nicknamed that tall international student 'Daddy'."

"That's really a poor 'dad', this year he's going to be in the first round again."

"Ah, I'm very confident in Kirisaki Daiichi. Even we had a bit of a tough fight last year."

"What are you talking about, a school at the level of Izumi Makan is no longer a problem for Kirisaki Daiichi, let alone a school at the level of Shinkyo."

"So, what's the point of coming to watch Kirisaki Daiichi's first match, Shimizu?"

"It's just one thing to confirm." It was Makoto Shimizu who appeared on the sidelines with Aida. She folded her hands on her chest and leaned on a pillar to watch the game intently.

"Ah, why is something wrong?" Time passed by, and gradually, the two boys who were not a few meters away from them began to whisper.

"Is Kirisaki Daiichi so strong? It's like..."

"A one-sided massacre." Aida rested his chin with one hand, and began to become serious, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I watched the match between Kirisaki Daiichi and other teams live. The feeling of fighting is different."

"It's different." Shimizu said lightly, as if he was not surprised by what happened on the field, "It is a rare thing for Kirisaki Daiichi to not make foul operations and simply rely on strength. "

"It seems that the practice match had an effect. You also foresee this kind of thing in advance?"

"Heh..." Qing Shui was noncommittal.

"So strong..." As the game progressed, more and more people outside the court began to change their attitudes, from the initial cynicism to pure admiration.It was almost the first time for everyone present to see Kirisaki No. [-] crushed by pure strength. The rapid rise in the score made everyone tremble inwardly.

"The game is over! 134 vs. 22, Kirisaki wins first!"

"It's amazing. Is this the true level of Kirisaki Daiichi? Even the score on the first day of the competition is too exaggerated."

"There is no foul or anything, is this really Kirisaki number one?"

"I remembered!" Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly yelled, "I remembered! Last year, didn't Kirisaki Daiichi have a score of 180 to 45 against that Mingcheng high school!"

"180?! And that Mingcheng? That's the prestigious school that entered the IH National Competition last year!"

"But it is said that in that game, Kirisaki first fouled the opponent's player, right?"

"Even if you score 180 points like that, it's not something you can do casually, not to mention that Mingcheng's bench is not shallow. This is simply scoring points like a unilateral massacre."

"So that man really has two tricks?"

"Ah, yes, as expected of the five wizards of the generation second only to miracles, one of the five generals without a crown—"Evil Boy" Hua Gongzhen!"

"Hehe, we were really underestimated before." There were all kinds of conversations in his ears, and Guqiao rarely showed disgust.

Facing the shocked expressions of the players from the New Association, Yuan said leisurely while blowing bubble gum: "Think we only foul? Don't be kidding. Even if there is no foul, we can crush you at any time, poof~ "

"What are you talking about? I'm going back." There was no joy of victory on Huagong's face. After shaking hands with the captain of the Xinxie, he walked towards the bench in a calm voice. He looked up by chance and found that he was watching from upstairs. Aida and Shimizu.The moment the four eyes met, Hanamiya realized that Shimizu was not looking at him personally, but the group of Kirisaki Daiichi.The eyes were quickly staggered, Hua Gong didn't stay on the court for long, and led the team to leave.

"Is this the freshman Kirisaki Daiichi? Hanamiya is becoming more and more like a captain and coach. Lala, this year will be lively." Aida straightened up, ready to leave.

"New student?" Qing Shui said with a light smile, "Hehe, it's really good."
