[SD] Logic of Wild Dogs

The timeout is over, and there are still 10 minutes before the end of the game. Xiangbei is behind Xiangyang by six points.

"Mitsui." Akagi Takenori called to Mitsui Shou who was walking to the field.

Mitsui looked back, and the gorilla warned with a serious expression: "We want to disperse Xiangyang's defensive force, and all the balls will be passed to you, and then it depends on your three-pointers."

"Hmph... what a prestige of the captain, Akagi!" Mitsui smiled slightly, "Who do you think you are talking to?"

"...Just with you, bastard." Akagi Takenori snorted coldly.

·

Outside the arena, Kintaro Kwan also snorted coldly and did not speak.

Youyuan Sanji picked up a piece of honey lemon and threw it into his mouth: "Hehe, it's so sour, so sour."

"Shut up."

"I mean lemon, it's good."

"very noisy."

"Yes~ yes~" Youyuan smiled and raised his hand in surrender.

·

Turning his gaze back to the court, Akagi held the ball and was stared at by three 190-meter-long men of Nagano Kono Hanakata. He jumped up and shot with difficulty: "Mitsui——!"

The ball flew out from the gap, and Mitsui was already waiting on the three-point line, catching the ball and jumping without hesitation: "Okay!"

With a muffled sound of "touch", a pair of hands flew across the air, and the three-pointer was intercepted by Kazushi Hasegawa!

Mitsui gasped in disbelief: "Damn..."

·

"It's ONEBOX...Zone defense man marking." Youyuan said in a daze.

Guan frowned slightly: "That hedgehog head is Hasegawa...do you remember?"

Youyuan: "What?"

"He fought against each other in middle school, the captain of Umezawa Middle School." Guan looked at Hasegawa who was high-fiving his teammates.

"Really? I don't remember at all... Umezawa Middle School."

The defeated opponents in the past, the unknown pawns can easily stop your shots now... Mitsui, you...

……

Mitsui ran desperately on the field, but his opponent stuck tightly to him and couldn't shake him off.

His physical strength was rapidly draining, and Mitsui Shou secretly became anxious: "Damn it...!"

·

What a mess... Mitsui.Hasegawa looked at the opponent who was forced to be at a loss by himself, and couldn't help but recall the game three years ago.

At that time, I was also so embarrassed, right?Facing the high-spirited Mitsui Hisashi, he was completely powerless to stop him.

【ha!Come and stop me if you have the ability! 】

Even if he was provoked like that, he could only endure in silence and secretly, and ran as hard as he could, but it still didn't help...the self who had suffered a crushing defeat.

but now--

"Mitsui Hisashi..." Hasegawa suddenly said.

I am no longer the old me.

When you were idle for two years, I never let up a single day—"You can't beat me."

"What?!" Mitsui was shocked and angry, "How dare you say that I can't win!?"

Looking at Mitsui who was panting and sweating, Hasegawa felt more confident.

I insist on training hard every day, and I have participated in the national competition for two years. A guy like you who only knows how to fool around in the street and waste your youth - you can't beat me!

"Don't underestimate high school basketball, Mitsui."

"What...!?" She was really looked down upon!asshole!

Mitsui was furious, wishing to fight back immediately, he turned his head and shouted: "Sakuragi! Give me the ball!"

"You said before the game that you want to keep my score within five points!?" Mitsui sprinted to catch the ball, "Do you know how many points I scored in the first half!?"

"Only five points." Hasegawa followed up coldly, pressing close to the body, and pressed Mitsui to the corner of the court, "You will never score again."

【asshole! ! 】

Mitsui shot furiously regardless: "Don't underestimate me——!"

The orange basketball rushed straight to the backboard with the sound of the wind.

·

"The shot was too hasty!" Guan couldn't help leaning forward.

As soon as Mitsui made a shot, he screamed in his heart that it was too bad, he used too much force-the ball would not go in.

He stared at the basket and shouted: "Rebound!!"

Sakuragi desperately crossed the flower shape to grab the ball, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Miyagi shout nervously: "Be careful of sneak attacks from below! Hanako!!"

Sakuragi retreated vigorously to protect the ball with both arms, but Hanayoto who landed on the ground was just knocked to the ground by this elbow.

"Offensive foul --! White team No. [-]!!" The referee blew his whistle.

Huaxing bleeds through the forehead, and the game is suspended.

Mitsui silently turned his back.

What the hell are you doing! ?Mitsui, you bastard... put down the camera if you are in a bad mood.

Just taking a short rest, Huaxingtou took off his broken glasses and returned to the court again.Xiangyang's momentum was like a rainbow and the offensive was fierce. Xiangbei relied on Rukawa's personal skills to regain some points, but the points were still getting bigger and bigger.

There are four minutes and 56 seconds before the end of the game, Xiangyang vs. Xiangbei [58:46].

·

Feet are so heavy.

My arms are so sore that I can hardly lift them up...

Mitsui blinked, sweat dripped from his eyelashes, he gasped heavily, his chest was sore, and his vision was blurred.

"It's still twelve minutes away..." Mitsui tried hard to look at the electronic screen.Four three-pointers...he counted them in his head.

Xiangbei team serves.

Nagano: "Hasegawa, I think Mitsui Hisashi is going to die soon."

Mitsui turned his head sharply.Hasegawa just nodded slightly.

shame.

The shame of being underestimated is like a poisonous snake entrenched in Mitsui's chest.

"Hmph..." He walked towards the sidelines, but suddenly his feet softened, and his body involuntarily tilted to the left.

[Left leg. 】

"Huh...huh...damn..." Mitsui regained his composure, then took another step and ran forward slowly.

"Mitsui..." Konobu Kogure watched Mitsui's back worriedly.

A few first-year students from Xiangbei also looked over worriedly: "Senior Mitsui..."

The first grade... Heh, is this what I look like now?

Even the first-year students outside the field are worried about me... Could it be that Mitsui Shou is like this! ?

He strode forward, and the next second he had the ball in his hand.As far as the eye can see is the best shooting position on the three-point line, Mitsui tried his best to make a jump shot——!

Hasegawa flew to stop him, but Mitsui had no strength in his body, and he fell heavily backwards.

·

"I can't stand it anymore!" Guan angrily put down the camera in his hand.

"The two-year gap, how could it not affect..." Youyuan chuckled, "Have another slice of lemon, Kentaro. There is nothing to say about Qihai's craftsmanship."

He turned his head to look at Mitsui who knelt on his knees silently: "It's a waste to leave it to him."

·

"Mitsui!" Miyagi trotted over.

"Mitsui! Are you okay? Hello!" Sakuragi asked nervously standing behind Mitsui.

Mitsui just knelt dumbly and didn't respond.

"Hey...Mitsui..." Sakuragi reached out to pat Mitsui's back, but it was opened.

"Do not touch me."

"Huh?" Sakuragi froze for a moment.

"I...remember." Mitsui suddenly smiled, "It was the same way back then... when I won the MVP..."

"It's just... exactly the same." He stood up slowly, even though he was covered in sweat and embarrassed, he still smiled, with a light in his eyes, "The more I face such a disadvantage, the more my fighting spirit burns!"

"Mitsui!" Sakuragi looked at this man with a confident smile, and couldn't help poking his finger.

Mitsui Shou was on the verge of collapse: "Bastard, stop!"

Sakuragi withdrew his hands and said, "I can't even stand up and say..."

Akagi: "Stop messing around, you guys! Free throw!"

·

Yuyuan and Guan stared at the man standing in front of the free throw line.

Youyuan: "That guy... his eyes have changed."

"Yeah." Guan nodded slightly.

The too familiar eyes... are exactly the same as that time....

·

"Three free throws." The referee handed the ball to Mitsui.

"Yes." Mitsui caught the ball with both hands and looked towards the basket, as he had done thousands of times before.

The sound of breathing, the rhythm of the heartbeat is strong and slow.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, his body stretched naturally like a conditioned reflex - the ball crashed into the cup.

Then the second ball, the third ball.

All three goals were hit and the score was pulled back to nine points.

Xiangyang serves and Xiangbei returns to defense.

"Don't retreat!! Fight them with all your strength!!" Mitsui yelled and rushed over, meeting Hasegawa on the center line.

"Mitsui!" Miyagi immediately confronted Kami Fujima.

Akagi Morikagata, Rukawa Nagano, Sakuragi Fang Takano——In the last 4 minutes when his physical strength was close to exhaustion, Xiangbei began to press Xiangyang to man-mark.

"At this time, use the full-court pressing defense..." Youyuan suddenly sighed with emotion, "That guy... has no energy, and he still dares to fight..."

"Hmph... Do you want to counterattack with all your strength before your fighting spirit is exhausted?" Guan just snorted coldly.

"He still wants to win. At this moment, at this point..." Youyuan smiled.

The guy still hasn't changed... still hasn't changed at all...

·

Fujima made a high pass, and Hasegawa took advantage of his height to jump up and catch the ball.However, when he landed with the ball, it was Mitsui Shou who was full of momentum.

Mitsui's waist and legs have never been so low, he stretched his arms like a predatory beast, his eyes were fixed on Hasegawa: "Come on!"

For a moment, Hasegawa thought he was back in the Umezawa vs. Takeishi match, and the MVP Hisashi Mitsui was back.

Ryota Miyagi did not let go of Hasegawa's momentary hesitation, and the ball changed hands in the blink of an eye!

"This ball is the key." Guan clenched his fists.

Youyuan had no time to distract himself to respond, and both of them habitually fixed their eyes on Mitsui.

·

Mitsui rushed to the three-point line and suddenly showed his palm: "Miyagi!"

The ball flew in, and Mitsui made a shot in the next second!

Fujima looked at the trajectory of the parabola and shouted at the flower shape: "Rebound——!"

However, both Youyuan and Guan knew that there was absolutely no mistake in that posture - a three-pointer and a hollow shot into the basket!

With Mitsui alone, he overtook the six points in less than ten seconds—the entire gymnasium was a sensation.

"Mitsui...!" Miyagi was overjoyed, "It's really you!"

Six points, six points short.Mitsui looked at the electronic screen, there were four minutes and 27 seconds left.

"Ga...ga..." He shook his head, feeling a little dark in front of his eyes, "I will never lose...I will never lose!"

In the ears of the freshmen cheering vigorously, Akagi roared: "Let them see how good we are!!"

"Whoa whoa--!!"

Miyagi, Sakuragi, Rukawa... Kigure... Everyone in the Shohoku team...

Coach Anxi...

[How can we just lose like this... With me in Xiangbei, we must not stop at the top eight! 】

Mitsui shook, subconsciously running.

【If I don't work hard now...】

The past two years are vivid in my mind and I can't get rid of them.

【If you don't work hard now——then I'm just a big bastard who doesn't know what to say! 】

·

Fujima took off behind the three-point line to shoot, and Miyagi jumped up desperately: "Don't even think about it!"

Mitsui sprinted suddenly: "Miyagi!! Fast attack!!"

Mitsui had never run so fast before, the wind passed by his ears, the sweat from the tip of his hair flew out, and the muscles all over his body were as hot as burning!

The heartbeat is faster than the footsteps! !

"Mitsui!!" Miyagi Ryota Akira Fujima's wonderful biography!

Mitsui catches the ball two steps ahead -- two steps back to the three-point line.

"What?" Hasegawa thought he was going to rush inside, but it was too late to turn around at this time.

That ball, the posture is too perfect: perfect force, perfect rhythm, perfect shot, perfect arc - perfect hit into the bottle! !

"Heh...hehe..." You suddenly laughed, "How many years... the palms are sweating again."

Guan Momo let go of his fist, his palm was clammy and cold, and his heart was like a raging fire.

On the field.

"You don't seem to be rusted yet, Mitsui." Akagi Takenori walked over in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Mitsui raised his eyebrows and looked, "What's wrong with you, Akagi? I haven't seen you show the power of a gorilla!"

Akagi: "Nonsense!"

Mitsui: "Hmph!"

The moment they passed each other, the two men raised their arms at the same time—a high five in the air!

·

"Ah... I read it right just now, right? Akagi and Mitsui—!?" Youyuan was surprised and didn't know what to say.

"I expected this day to come..." Guan pursed his lips and swallowed the rest of the words.

I have long expected that there will be a day when Mitsui and Akagi will become the golden partners of Xiangbei.They compete with each other, but they cooperate seamlessly—together they lead the Xiangbei team to win exciting games one after another until they dominate the whole country...

Seki, Yumoto, Zheng, Kiguro, Miyagi, the new first-year students, and everyone from Shonhoku worked together to realize their dream of dominating the country...

Even if the eyes follow the figure of that person as before, there will be no more sudden balls.No matter how much you long for it, it is no longer you and me who are fighting side by side with him at this moment...

"Damn it..."

Youyuan looked at the trembling companion beside him, and just patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Let's watch the game."

Mitsui Shou once again made an emergency stop to shoot a jump.

"The balance is so messed up, and the posture is also messed up—" Guan commented indifferently.

"However, this ball..." Youyuan smiled.

"I will definitely go in." Guan said as a matter of course.

The crisp sound of scoring a goal, the audience cheered!

"As long as you let that guy succeed once... you will never miss again."

"It's still one goal away." Youyuan smiled and looked at the electronic screen, "In the last 3 minutes, do you think we should continue to eat?"

Only then did Guan turn around: "Wow, when did you eat so much!?"

"Who told Qihai to cook so delicious food... Before she knew it..." Youyuan scratched his head and pretended to be stupid, "By the way, I didn't touch the box for other people in Xiangbei."

"You...you don't want your teeth anymore!" Guan covered his face weakly.

"Ah ha ha……"

·

Takano missed two free throws, the rebound was grabbed by Kaede Rukawa, and Shohoku made a fast break!

Realizing it before anyone else, it will be sooner than anyone else, Mitsui has already crossed the center line: "Rukawa!"

Rukawa hurls the ball—Fujima cuts across—and the ball flies out.

"Ah!" Immediately after that ball, Mitsui flew forward, looking back in mid-air, he saw Rukawa who stepped forward to meet him, pass the ball!

Rukawa dribbled the ball into the penalty area and dunked hard! ! —Equally divided! !

Mitsui's back hit the head of the Xiangyang team hard!

"Mitsui—!" Guan subconsciously stood up.

"Three... ah! Camera!" You Yuan hurriedly caught the falling camera, then looked up and saw the overturned chair and Mitsui lying on the ground, "Mitsui——!"

The white team uniform, the figure slumped beside the messy folding chairs... the score that was still behind at the last moment, the guy who desperately fought for the chance of that goal and slammed into the visitor's seat with a reckless dive to save the ball... ...The guy who pursued victory until the last moment and never gave up...

Time seemed to overlap with that moment two years ago.

Although No. 14 has been changed to NO.[-], and the split has been changed to short hair, but after two years... that guy still hasn't changed.

"Mitsui...is still the same as before..." Youyuan smiled lightly, the scene in front of him was blurred and clear, clear and blurred again.

He is still so powerful, still so desperate, and still so...handsome, like an indelible light.

[Then, let's go to Xiangbei together! ——For the country's hegemony! 】

That year, that day, the high-spirited boy smiled in the snow.

So the four closest partners entered the unknown high school in Xiangbei together, and joined the basketball team together...

[We must work together to make Xiangbei dominate the country! 】

One word for you, brothers will always follow you.

[Worry!Bastard...] That person avoided his hand, 【Don't worry about my business! 】

Only the back of Jue Jue is left, and there will be no intersection from then on.

Until I heard that he was back on the basketball court again, after making a big fuss... as if possessed by a demon, Guan ran to the stadium with a camera on his back...

Every play, every action.The look in his eyes before passing the ball, the sound of his shouting, the running figure of him - he couldn't take his eyes off at all, as if, running beside him, he was the one who would give him high fives to congratulate him.

His lips trembled, and tears streamed down his face.

He's back again, completely unchanged from two years ago.

"Even so...even so..."

Two years...for two full years, the agreement made back then could no longer be fulfilled.

Even if Mitsui Shou returns to the basketball court again... the four teenagers who once wanted to dominate the country together will not be able to go back...

We agreed to work together, we agreed... we can never do it again!

"I... will never forgive..." Guan trembled and clenched his fists, "I will never forgive... I will never forgive you! Mitsui...!"

I don't forgive you for giving up, I don't forgive you for leaving, I don't forgive you for breaking off friendship for no reason, I don't forgive your depravity, I don't forgive... I don't forgive you for coming back without saying a word—as if everything has nothing to do with us!

"I will never... never forgive you! Mitsui...!"

"Kentaro..." Youyuan put his hand on Guan's head, his fingers sank into the ends of his hair, and vigorously ruffled it, "Hey, such a big boy... crying like this... it's so ugly."

"Youyuan... Woo, you bastard..." Guan Lang wiped away his tears in embarrassment, and shouted back with a blushing face, "Who is crying! You bastard!"

"Haha, good... let's watch the game." Youyuan turned his head with a chuckle, and in the Xiangbei High School spectator seat, Mitsui was wiping his sweat with a towel, "That guy is finally gone, now, you can concentrate Watching the game."

"Here." You Yuan handed the camera to Guan, "Do you still have a draft for the newspaper?"

"……Humph!"

With two minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the score was tied at [-], with five three-pointers, three free throws and one two-pointer.

————————————————————————————————————————

Ruthless Little Theater:

Mitsui was the last one to wake up among the Five Tigers of Xiangbei who were sleeping soundly in the locker room.

Mu Mu: "Ah, Mitsui, are you awake? There are honey lemon slices made by Nanami, and they were brought by Yuyuan and Guan."

"Youyuan? Off?" Mitsui rubbed his eyes, feeling sore all over.

Mu Mu came over with the box wrapped in a handkerchief: "Please Qihai made a lot of them, and divided them into two boxes and brought them here. Here, no one has touched your share. It tastes very good."

"Oh, thanks." Mitsui suddenly felt hungry, he took the handkerchief and untied the handkerchief two or three times, then froze.

In the transparent locknlock box, there are only two miserable slices of lemon left.A piece of yellow post-it note on the lid of the box left Kentaro's flamboyant handwriting: [I will never forgive you! XP Guan & Youyuan].

Mitsui: "What, what!?"

Looking at the familiar font, I can almost imagine the tone of the two people speaking.

Mitsui's eyes softened: "What...you didn't say anything when you came to my game...you bastard."

He picked up a slice of lemon and put it in his mouth: "Sneakily eat my things again... This is not a snack made by my mother. Tsk, isn't Qihai your junior... Really."

He ate another piece: "Really... bastards..."

The lemon is so sour that it makes my nose sour.

The author has something to say: I have always wanted to skip the Xiangyang battle, but when writing about Mitsui, there is no way to avoid this battle.
