[Kuroko's Basketball] The First Promise

At this second when the corners of the snow-white team uniforms fly up, the number No.15 will be engraved on the court.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ The light in the arena was divided and hit Qingfeng's running figure in fine pieces.

Heizi looked at Qingfeng from a distance, and always felt that he saw the appearance of fighting alone in junior high school, but it was different from then.Single-player blocking, precise tip-ups, and subtle connection with the ball. In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, almost no one else had a chance to touch the ball. After an explosive slam dunk, Heizi couldn't help frowning.Tsuruma's pressing defense is stronger than in the first quarter. Although he can temporarily bypass the mark and pass the ball to his teammates with his low presence, his physical strength will not work for such a long time, and the load on the eyes will be too great.

After the opponent No. 24 missed a long shot, Ziyuan grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Heizi. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Qingfeng, who was unmarked by anyone. Pass it to the green room waiting outside.The latter caught the ball and took half a step out, and decisively used the standard posture to score a three-pointer and steadily hit the basket.

Heizi lowered his head and rubbed his sore eye sockets, and when he looked up again, he saw Qingfeng's eager expression not far away.He knew that Aomine was on the verge of fury, so he couldn't run towards Aomine at will in this state, and what would happen after Tsuruma followed him.

"Actually, the sudden disappearance of yours doesn't mean you can just use it if you want." Tsuruma spread his arms to block Heizi's vision again. Restored the original appearance: "Because of the eye injury, you can't play as much as you did that time."

Heizi met Tsuruma's eyes, and Lvjian on the right slid close to the sideline and directly waved the ball over.Heizi looked at the person in front of him, raised his hand to catch it, and started dribbling.

"That's true." Heizi spoke slowly, without much fluctuation in his tone: "However, it should be enough to deal with this match."

At the same time that Hejian was still reacting to Heizi's words, the latter suddenly changed direction, switching from defense to attack and quickly broke through. Hejian snorted coldly and immediately raised his hand to block.Seemingly unable to completely restrain the previous shadow, Heizi paused for half a second and then chose to stop the breakthrough. He quickly passed a pass to Qingfeng who was close to him. The latter received the ball steadily. Before the other two defenders had time to recover When he had already broken through to the basket, with a low shout, Qingfeng dunked heavily.

At the end of halftime, the score was fixed at 49:28.

Heizi wiped the sweat off his chin by pulling his collar, and Qingfeng who was next to him came over to bump fists with him.

"Niceplay~ As expected of Xiao Heizi!" Kise who was over there had lost most of his attention by the score, and ran over happily to hug Heizi, but was kicked away by Aomine in the next second.

Heizi didn't speak, and looked down at the slightly trembling fingers.The rotating basketball hit his palm so painfully that it seemed to be burning.It's been a long time. During the game, the palms will feel aching.

"Sorry, I'm going to wash my face." Heizi walked to the bathroom alone after saying this.

He's playing with his physical instincts.He admits that he can't get rid of the shadow of the past quickly, and he is not ready to face the shadow of the past, but at this point he has no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.If it was him a year ago, he would definitely hide in the waiting room and not play, Vulcan is also very obedient, he does not want to play and Vulcan does not force him.But Akashi is different, that person will not care how much fear he has in his heart, but will only tell him that if he is his person, he must obey absolutely.

Splashing cold water on his cheeks, Heizi looked up at himself in the mirror.

He's out of loop.

What's more, he is not only for himself, but also for everyone's expectations.

At this time, I have to be stronger, and I have to grit my teeth to swallow that fear into my stomach.

After walking out of the bathroom, Heizi wiped his sore eyes with a paper towel and walked towards the lounge.Just arrived at the door and before I had time to open the door, I heard Huang Lai's voice complaining inside: "Xiao Qingfeng, you are really serious, didn't you agree to get the ball and give it to Xiao Heizi first? Why are you playing so alone? vigorously?"

Heizi froze his hand as he wanted to unscrew the doorknob.

"Play? How the hell do you want me to play?! Those people hurt Ah Zhe's eyes, and I will pay them back ten times in my way!"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Heizi looked at the door, let go of it after a while, turned and walked out of the rest passage.

He didn't want to hear any more, everyone's words.He just felt heavier on his shoulders.Everyone was silently working hard for him, and the feeling that there was nothing to repay made Heizi a little at a loss.Maybe everyone doesn't need his return, but he doesn't want to blindly accept their kindness.

After the intermission, when Qingfeng came out, he saw Heizi sitting on the coach chair, with a clean white towel covering his head, and the towel hung down to cover his cheeks, so Qingfeng couldn't see his expression.Without stopping, Qingfeng walked over and sat next to Heizi, raised his hand through the towel and rubbed his hair again.

"Relax, Ash."

Heizi opened his eyes, the pressure on his head made him slightly lower his head.The temperature of that big hand seemed to have passed through the towel and gradually transferred to his body.A drop of water fell from the bangs that were wet before, and it slid down Heizi's eyelashes.

"……Yes."

"Then, blow them up in the second half!"

"--Yes."

The whistle for the second half finally sounded.Heizi sat quietly on the chair for a few more seconds, then raised his hand and pulled off the towel. When he raised his head, his blue eyes showed sharp and explosive gazes.

Burn it up.That feeling of going retrograde but getting more and more intense.

The rhythm of the third quarter was mastered by Heizi.This caught Tsurumi by surprise.What he didn't expect was that the members of Dongda suddenly burst into a powerful attacking aura.

Let's blow them up.

Although grabbing rebounds has always been what Ziyuan is best at, but in addition to rebounds, Heizi's setter made Ziyuan try a powerful dunk again.Unable to prevent it at all, the Kyushu University team members stared blankly at the tall figure jumping up, and the basket trembled violently with the excessive force.

Let's blow them up.

The arc of Midorima's lips rose imperceptibly, and he received a spinning basketball from the outside line, raised his hand gracefully, and his glasses reflected slightly.That high-flying shot that crossed the entire court blew over everyone's heads, and under the focus of everyone's attention, it went into the basket empty-handed, without any suspense.

Let's blow them up.

Kise ran from the sideline to the center of the court and directly slanted, slapped the opponent's soft pass, leaned under the crotch to catch the ball easily, lowered the front body and dribbled the ball to the basketball quickly, and then raised his hand to shoot. Seeing that the opponent's player was desperate and wanted to step forward to obstruct him, he chuckled and withdrew his shooting right hand, turned his upper body back, bypassed the opponent's interfering arm and directly threw it behind his back and threw it into the basket.

That's it, blow them up.

Hejian raised his hand to block Heizi's long pass. The latter took a step back, bent his knees, and opened his elbows slightly outward. With the help of his fingertips, he pushed the ball straight away from his chest, but he hit Heizi again. Seconds pushed his left hand to the right suddenly, and the passing route changed directly. Before Tsuruma could react, the ball had already hit Qingfeng's palm hard without any pause. Qingfeng dribbled the ball quickly to the basket. Seeing a player trying to block a shot at the same time, Qingfeng used the time difference between the jumps to directly cause the opponent's shooting interference foul.

A two-pointer went into the basket at the buzzer and a free throw was added.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was updated to 72:28.

Kuroko followed everyone to the coach chair and followed Akashi's arrangement.

"Not bad." Akashi commented in this way, and handed over the prepared ice water one by one, and slightly tilted his head and smiled when handing it to Kise: "However, only Ryota has the lowest shooting percentage in the team. "

"Hey——!? Please spare me..." Kise looked at Akashi who was smiling horribly, and coughed a few times: "14 of 11 shots is not too low... Who made everyone's hit rate so low? High...it's okay, Akashi, I will continue to improve my shooting percentage in the fourth quarter!"

"No need." Akashi took off the coat draped over his shoulders, and slowly stood up:

"In the fourth quarter, I will replace you."

Akashi's appearance undoubtedly made no one understand.When he stepped onto the court and took Kise's original position, the person who was in charge of marking Kise couldn't help saying coldly, "Swap a guard for a small forward? Do you think you're sure to win?"

Akashi laughed lightly, adding a touch of bloodthirsty to his heterochromatic eyes: "Win is certain, but it just makes you lose even worse."

"Huh? Why are you so arrogant as a first-year dwarf?" Unable to withstand Akashi's provocation, the man was about to grab his collar when he saw a sharp cold wind blowing by his side, and regained his senses At that time, he heard a burst of exclamation from the outside of the court. He turned his head and saw that the person who was in front of him a second ago had already flashed to the basket and scored the first two points in the fourth quarter.

"Who told you that I only play guard?" As the basketball hit the ground, Akashi looked back at the sluggish players with cold eyes, and his smile did not have any warmth: "The fourth quarter is already garbage time. Then let me vent it Let's use your ridiculous faces after your fiasco."

Seeing Akashi's expression not far away, Kuroko couldn't help being shocked in his heart.On weekdays, he rarely partners with Akashi on the same stage. After all, they all play PG. It is impossible for Akashi to change his position for Kuroko.But today, Akashi has indeed changed.From the corner of his eye, he saw Kise sitting on the bench with a resigned expression on his face. Kuroko didn't understand why Akashi had to play. Even if Kise wasn't replaced, Dongda would surely win.

While thinking about it, Akashi made a long pass that went straight into Kuroko's arms, and the latter immediately stopped and made a fast break to the basket. It seemed that because the captain was on the court, he was more rigorous and efficient than before, and the basket paused for a while. Seconds later, when he was about to shoot, he saw Tsuruma rushing forward.

The tall figure blocked the basket, and Heizi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eye sockets. He paused for half a second to place the dropped basketball in the air, and then was slapped away by Tsuruma's palm.The palm wind seemed to make Heizi's back suddenly cold, and he almost couldn't help taking a half step back. He Jian laughed lowly, and after blocking the shot, he bent his forearm and chased after the ball. Heizi saw the powerful The right elbow came straight up, just like it did back then.

His throat tightened, and Heizi actually forgot to dodge.Both feet seemed to be disobedient, and they were nailed to the ground straight like this.He wanted to restrain that fear, but he found that for so long, he seemed to have gotten used to the fear, and he had instinctively accepted it when it came.

At the same moment, Midorima, who was assisting Kuroko to strengthen the outside line, directly blocked it, and the elbow that Tsuruma turned towards Kuroma's cheek slammed Midorima's shoulder hard.

Heizi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

That elbow was pulled hard, Lvma slightly tilted his body, and Heizi quickly reached out to support him.

The referee immediately called a foul.

"Mr. Lujian, do you want to go down and take a look?" Heizi took a long time to come back to his senses, and hurriedly helped him stabilize before asking eagerly.

Midorima adjusted his glasses, stood up straight, rubbed his slightly sore right shoulder, and shook his head.

Pursing his lips, Heizi looked at Tsuruma, who smiled indifferently.Licking his lip ring, Tsuruma turned and left.

"Thank you, Midori-san." Heizi turned his head, thanked in a low voice, and let go of his hand: "But I'm fine, please let me take charge of Tsuruma for the rest of the time. I will work hard."

Midorima looked at him, paused for a few seconds, turned and stood back to his position.

The blood is clamoring, biting.The trapped beast in the body is gradually waking up.

Heizi swept away the bangs that blocked his eyes, and the icy blue pupils reflected dots of light.

Memories imprison courage, and there are only two things it can do.

Tame it, be tamed by it.

He is not the type who likes to be controlled, so he will forcefully tear that scar open.

A wonderful basketball depends on the offensive line sorted out by the point guard.After Midorima made a free throw, Tsuruma immediately grabbed the ball and turned around to dribble back to the inside. He just turned around but met the marking Heizi.

Turning from defense to offense, Heizi stretched out his arms and leaned forward.

"Just because you want to guard against me!? You fucking don't get in the way!"

The nearly three-digit point difference made Tsuruma unable to keep calm. In this case, the chance of attacking with the ball was even greater. Tsuruma let out a roar from his throat, and dribbled while rotating left and right. The ball quickly bounced back into his palm The pause in the air is extremely short.Then, Tsuruma hit the ground and dribbled the ball, turning suddenly to break through.

Kuroko suddenly remembered the scene against Akashi last night.

At that time Akashi said, keep your eyes on the ball, keep your speed and balance.

"I'm not trying to guard against you."

Heizi said in a low voice, his right ankle suddenly exploded with strength and rushed forward. After controlling the rhythm of the opponent's dribble, he was directly stuck at the point where the ball flew up, and in the next second, he moved his fingers together and cut in the air——

"—I want to steal."

Tsuruma was stunned, and in the next second there was only air in front of him.The light-colored figure intercepted the ball in mid-air, then stopped, and then made a change of direction and directly hit the ball to Qingfeng outside the diagonal line inside the court.

This is Heizi's first long pass in this game.There is no deflection angle, no time difference, but the standard long pass that was once the best and most proud.Aomine hugged the basketball tightly, couldn't help laughing loudly and said nice.The person behind him who was marking Aomine immediately went up to intercept him, knowing that it was too much of a stretch to just mark Aomine alone, Tsuruma cursed in a low voice and immediately turned around and ran towards Aomine, but was blocked by Akashi the next second.

"It's not that triple-digit points make people feel hopeless."

Akashi smiled slightly, but with just that look, Tsuruma was stunned: "——but the opponent's basketball went into the basket, but you can only stand there and watch."

In the distance, Aomine behind Akashi let out a low cry, and a slam dunk seemed to vent his pent-up anger.

When the final whistle blew, sweat dripped down Heizi's chin. He looked up at the score, and the dazzling 128:28 made some emotions in his heart express.

Although the silent stadium lacked the cheers of the audience, Heizi could hear the cheers from his teammates and from the bottom of his heart.Also, the sound of blood flowing in my body.

The past has brought him too many disappointments.

Of course, the paranoia in the past was resolute and decisive.The surprises brought by the previous generation of miracles made him deeply feel the passion from the arena.

At this second when the corners of the snow-white team uniforms fly up, the number No.15 will be engraved on the court.
