[Kuroko's Basketball] The First Promise

Now, his shadow is hungry for victory.Then he will definitely do everything in his power to bring victory.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++ The last game of the divisional game was scheduled for the weekend, and it was Thammasat University, which is known for its defense.Although it was not a promotion match, there were a lot of spectators. Heizi himself wanted to go through the team passage, but he was blocked by the crowd at the entrance of the stadium and couldn't get in.If there are so many people watching the game, apart from the excellent performances of the two teams in the first few games of the divisional game, the venue of this game was arranged at the University of Political Science and Law.

The home game of the University of Political Science and Law will bring unstoppable pressure.

After finally overcoming the troubles caused by his low presence, Kuroko rushed to the locker room after he squeezed into the team passage. As soon as his front foot reached his back foot, he saw Akashi had finished changing and came out, with Murasakihara standing beside him.

"Sorry Akashi-kun...there are too many people outside."

"Let's change clothes first."

Akashi tilted his head slightly to signal Kuroko to enter the room, and after watching the latter close the door, he continued talking to Murasakihara.

The reason why Thammasat University was able to rely on a solid defensive strategy to reach the final game of the divisional game step by step is entirely based on the basic skills of steady and steady play. Sometimes success or failure does not lie in how to launch a sharp attack, but how to minimize mistakes.The game between Hosei University and Waseda University was even more admirable than Dongda University winning the game by a percentage point, because their turnovers in the whole game were only in single digits.

"They made very few mistakes."

After Akashi saw that Kuroko had come out, he stood in the passage and began to briefly explain the following game: "This is an extremely rare team, even in the NBA. At that level, you can compete in the NBA.”

The audience entered the arena one after another, and the bustling crowd below frowned Akashi slightly. He felt that it was the right decision not to go down to speak.

"However, the overly rigorous style of play exposed them to one of their biggest disadvantages."

As if he didn't want to say too much, Akashi bent down and took out a bottle of water from the box at his feet and threw it into Heizi's arms. The latter was slightly panting because of the haste of running: "—Slow heat. Grasp this question, Widen the gap for me within the first 10 minutes."

Seeing Kuroko unscrew the water bottle and take a few sips, Akashi continued to speak indifferently:

"Didn't their mistakes in the last game be single digits? You know what you are going to do this time."

Kise smiled, and continued, "Little Akashi doesn't want to force the opponent's mistakes to reach three digits, does he?"

Akashi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ryota's idea is good, I look forward to your performance."

Hoseok choked up.

The referee outside the court began to whistle to remind the players to take their positions.Heizi put away the bottle of water and followed Akashi down. Just after taking two steps, Akashi turned his head slightly and said to him, "Go up and play for 10 minutes in the first quarter, and then I will replace you."

Heizi was slightly stunned: "...Can I play?"

"I've just said it." Akashi held two pairs of wrist guards in his hand, and handed the white pair to Heizi: "We need to increase the score at the beginning."

Because the schedule is very tight, Kuroko's daily training has not been carried out much according to Akashi's requirements, so he has not changed his previous style of play in actual combat, and he has not communicated with Murasakihara about this matter, and his heart is slightly disturbed. Not sure if the next 10 minutes will go well.

"Ah, little Heizi~ the delicious corn-flavored stick that I talked about the other day~Try it~" Suddenly a delicious stick came across in front of him. Zi Yuan, who was standing next to him, smiled at him while chewing a snack: "Xiao Chi told me~ so Xiao Heizai can pass the ball to me after the opening~"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Qingfeng next to him put the towel on his shoulders, frowned slightly, and looked at Ziyuan amusedly: "Of course Ah Zhe will pass the ball to me, Ziyuan, you'd better not compete with me." .”

"Cut~Xiao Qingfeng is really stingy~" Ziyuan leaned over and put Heizi's shoulders: "Xiao Qingfeng will definitely not be able to grab mine~"

"Huh? Interesting, why don't you give it a try! And don't put your hands down on Ah Zhe's shoulders!"

The state of bickering between the two continued until the referee blew the whistle. Heizi even regretted not saying hello to Qingfeng earlier. After all, the cooperation between the two has always been a fixed style of play. Let alone Qingfeng, he temporarily changed the partner. I am very uncomfortable.

So when the ball was passed to him, Heizi subconsciously looked in Qingfeng's direction, and the latter also made a cooperative movement to catch the ball.Squinting his eyes slightly, Heizi realized that there were actually two people guarding Qingfeng beside him.

Heizi gave up passing the ball to Qingfeng, and Heizi immediately turned his eyes away without daring to look at Qingfeng's expression. He staggered his feet at a small angle, stopped directly to accumulate thrust, and made a long pass towards Ziyuan under the basket.

The straight-line pass without any error was firmly hit in Ziyuan's palm, and he raised his hand and lightly threw it without any effort at all. Ziyuan took the lead in scoring two points for the team.

"Murakahara, don't fight for the ball with me."

Aomine, who moved back to the inside line, frowned in displeasure as a warning.

"Xiao Qingfeng, you didn't see it, did Xiao Heizai pass it on to me~"

Not paying attention to Aomine's words, Murasakihara shrugged while shifting his position.Heizi, who was watching the two bickering, was a little embarrassed, and Kise, who was not knowing what to say, also interjected: "Little Heizi is so biased, pass the ball to me too~"

So this kind of thing will happen as soon as you change your style of play.It's just the first ball, and that's it.

Heizi thought about explaining it to Qingfeng for a while, but the game waited for no one, and he didn't want to think too much. When Ziyuan grabbed the rebound and passed the ball, Heizi was going to break through and continue to create opportunities for Ziyuan to attack and assist.

"A Zhe!" Qingfeng directly threw off one of the guards in front of him, creating an assist for Heizi, who glanced in his direction before looking away, and waved his hand directly to Ziyuan, not in a hurry Looking at the shot, Ziyuan quickly scanned the audience and threw the ball directly to the outside green room, who received the ball and scored a three-pointer.

The smooth team passing and cooperation made the audience sigh for a while.Qingfeng put his knees on his knees and frowned at Heizi, after a pause, he rubbed his hair irritably.

Looking up at the timing card, the first quarter started for nearly 7 minutes. Relying on Ziyuan's disguised assist, Dongda held a 13-point advantage.I have to say that Momoi's proposal is very reasonable, Kuroko even felt that his right eye didn't feel much pain in the past 7 minutes, just some soreness, because there is no need to focus on the whole scene, he only needs to focus on Murasakihara's The figure is enough.

But it will be very uncomfortable... I will always subconsciously look for Qingfeng after catching the ball.

Heizi pursed his lips and wiped his slightly sweaty forehead. From the corner of his eye, he saw Qingfeng's back turned to him, and felt a little nervous.

Feeling hot, he gradually found the feeling of cooperating with Murasakihara. The latter is also very caring on the court. Sometimes Heizi doesn't need to deliberately look for Murasakihara's position, but can see others just by looking up.

Every move of Murasakihara has taken into account whether he ran out of Heizi's field of vision, and whether it would put a burden on his eyes.On this point, Heizi felt very heartwarming.When the opposing player swooped over with the dribble, Heizi dodged behind him relying on his low presence. He threw his hands back and broke the basketball in mid-air without adjusting his body tilted due to inertia. He hooked the ball without pausing. He picked it up and threw it to Ziyuan who was directly opposite.

The ball gradually spun in the air, and when Ziyuan was about to catch the ball, Aomine's figure suddenly blocked him.The former was not prepared at all. While slightly stunned, Qingfeng directly grabbed the ball with one hand. After getting the ball, he was eager to attack. He turned around and was about to make a layup, but it seemed that his footwork was disturbed. Hosei University's No. [-] player rushed over and used his body to play the basketball. Aomine didn't completely avoid it, and directly stabbed the opponent's chest with his bent elbow.

The latter's dive was very exaggerated, and he wiped the floor for a distance before stopping.

The referee immediately called Aomine's offensive foul.

With a "tsk" unwillingly, Qingfeng smashed the ball to the ground, allowing the ball to bounce and roll to the bench area.

"Why does Xiao Qingfeng insist on grabbing the ball with me?" Ziyuan looked at Qingfeng who was obviously upset: "Look, now you have a foul, this is only the first quarter, be careful~"

"Shut up." Qingfeng interrupted Ziyuan's words irritably, and his tone gradually became blunt: "You have time to worry about me, why not be your acting point guard. It's annoying."

Heizi looked at those two people from a distance and sighed inwardly.

Didn't break his promise, Akashi called a timeout 10 minutes after the opening of the first quarter, and directly replaced Kuroko.When the latter sat back on the bench, he subconsciously called Akashi's name.Looking back at Kuroko, Akashi said directly without waiting for him to speak: "I know, I will give more balls to Dahui."

Heizi's expression finally softened a bit, but he still looked worriedly at the anxious person in the center of the field.

With Akashi on the field, the responsibility of organizing the offense has been transferred back from Murasakihara. He still sorts out the offensive route in an orderly manner, relying on his own speed advantage to constantly compete for the ball. The pressure brought by Akashi on the field is almost perfectly suppressed. The opponent's morale.But because it is an away game, every time a point is scored, the off-court attention will let go of the booing, but the strong will naturally not be disturbed by such external factors. When the halftime whistle blew, the University of Tokyo had already held the big team with 37 points. The score is poor.

When Heizi saw his companions coming to rest, he took the initiative to get out of the way, and habitually picked up water and handed it to Qingfeng who was walking at the back.

After taking the water bottle, Qingfeng didn't say anything, just turned around and went up the steps to the spare dressing room.

"What's wrong with Xiao Qingfeng?" Huang Lai took a sip of ice water and looked in the direction Qingfeng left: "I've been in a bad mood... because of that foul?"

"Don't worry about him." Akashi sat on the chair, glanced at Kuroko next to him, and then continued: "Let him calm down by himself, he is not on the field."

"Sorry, I'll take a look." Heizi whispered, turned around and followed up the steps.

When the door of the locker room was opened, Qingfeng was lying on the bench, with the back of his left hand covering his eyelids, and he didn't know what he was thinking.The air conditioner in the house made a little noise, and when he heard the door ring, Qingfeng said impatiently: "Who, don't you know how to say hello before you come in? Go out if you have nothing to do."

Heizi closed the door gently, and whispered: "I'm sorry Qingfeng-jun, it's me."

Qingfeng paused for a moment and didn't speak again, and after a while he said with some depression: "What are you doing?"

"Is Qingfeng-kun in a bad mood?" Heizi walked over, removed the water bottle and towel from the bench, and sat next to Qingfeng. Didn't you give the ball to Aomine-kun?"

"You didn't tell me beforehand." Qingfeng said heavily, and looked away impatiently: "When did you decide to change your style of play?"

Heizi smiled, took the ice water beside him and applied it to Qingfeng's cheek, the latter shivered but still turned to look at him.

"It was decided on a temporary basis the day before yesterday. This style of play puts less load on the eyes."

"...I know this. Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Sorry... I thought Akashi-kun had already told everyone in private."

Qingfeng didn't answer any more, moved his hand away and looked at Heizi above. The latter's blue eyes were still gentle, which made him unable to get angry at all.It's like this every time, and I can't bear to get angry after being glanced at by this person.

But the kind of uneasiness that he had never had before made him unable to concentrate on playing.

He couldn't accept it, and Heizi turned his eyes away from him.Even though he knew that Heizi didn't distrust him, but because he trusted him too much, he was afraid that Heizi would gradually leave him because of this style of play.

He understands that the cooperation between Heizi and Murasakihara is actually to prevent Heizi from further deteriorating his eyes when he is on the field.

So he couldn't accept it even more, why the one who could help Heizi relieve the burden was not himself.Unable to help his own shadow, how could this be a qualified light.Powerless, so it will be more disturbing.

Looking deeply at Heizi's gentle and calm eyes, after a long time, Qingfeng continued: "Azhe, what can I do for you."

The dark blue eyes were calm and almost dim, and Qingfeng laughed a little mockingly.

Also in a small space, Qingfeng's deep voice was so deep that Heizi felt a dull pain in his heart.

The light and shadow in the past are still the two with the deepest bond, and Qingfeng can't allow himself to have a gap with him.

They should enjoy the joy of victory together and help each other out.To him, Heizi is not just a shadow, nor is it just the assists that constantly create scoring opportunities for him on the court. No matter at what moment, they must walk side by side.

"Aomine-kun is a powerful light source."

After hearing the words, he didn't think much about it. Heizi smiled slightly, and said softly, "For me, this is enough. As long as Qingfeng-jun stands on the field, where I can see it."

Qingfeng was slightly moved in his heart, he even moved his shoulders a little waywardly, propped himself up slightly, and directly pillowed on Heizi's thigh, then continued to frown and said: "But it's all right to just stand there, to be able to substantively It was Murasakihara who helped you."

"No. Ziyuan-kun can indeed help me, but basketball is not a sport for two people." This time he interrupted Aomine very quickly, and Heizi's tone gradually became serious. He lowered his eyelids and looked at Aomine intently Undoubtedly, he said, "I also need Qingfeng-kun's help, so Qingfeng-jun, are you willing to help me?"

Those blue eyes were silent.It's so quiet that just looking at it makes people feel at ease.

When he personally asked for help, Qingfeng already understood the responsibility of being a shadow.His shadow has never taken the initiative to rely on a person, he needs to teach his shadow to rely on, and his shadow should also learn to accept his help.

This is the bond between light and shadow, and there will be no barriers due to the reduction in the number of passes.There are many places where he can help, not just on the field, but in life and training, he can do too much.

Therefore, it should not be limited to the subtle things of passing the ball.

Now, his shadow is hungry for victory.

Then he must do everything he can to bring victory.

——This is his shadow, the most effective way to help him.

Qingfeng stared at him blankly, and soon he laughed, adjusted the position of the wrist guard, and stretched out his fist towards Heizi.Seeing this, the latter also raised his lips, reached out and lightly fisted him.

"—Of course, it is every light's responsibility to wish Ying a helping hand."
