Double AS

Tonghuang played a dominant role in the Winter Cup and has been playing smoothly since the start.

With the double Wangzuo outsider Sakurai's Tonghuang Triangle, it is almost invincible in the world.

The momentum is like a broken bamboo, unstoppable.

"The game is over! 150 vs. 92, Tonghuang Academy wins!"

The audience cheered thunderously. The two-foot-long support flags of "Aomine Daiki" and "Kise Ryota" were eye-catchingly stretched in the stands, and the fans turned the flags over—"Tong Huang Shuangwang, the Winter Cup dominates." into such a sentence.The camera sweeps row by row.

"Is it really still the world of Tonghuang this year?" "Could it be that no one can break their triangle tactics?" The ball commentator chatted with the host with a smile. "If you add this year, Tonghuang will win the double championship of I˙H and Winter Cup for three consecutive years."

In just three short years, Tonghuang has transformed from a rookie school with relatively inexperienced basketball experience into one of the top three basketball schools in Japan──

It's only been three years.

They created legends.

The camera focused on them—the figures of Qing and Huang.

Bowing to their hard-working opponents, the Tonghuangs entered the players' lounge──sports reporters immediately flocked to them.

"Are you willing to join JBL to play for Japan? Daiki Aomine?" "I heard that the BJ League is also looking for you! Have you made a decision?"

They almost regarded him as a quasi-national player.

"Kise-kun, do you have anything to say about being selected as Japan's second striker? I heard that the photo actress Kato Kana publicly said that she is your fan in an interview. What do you think about this?"

The reporter raised the camera, Kise turned his head, and smiled almost reflexively, his eyes were electrified.

He smiled mysteriously without answering.

Compared with him, Xiao Qingfeng is much impatient when facing reporters' pestering.

"May──"

After waving their hands, the manager and coach immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Can finally get away.

"Most people will at least choose one side first, right?" Kise took off his sweaty jersey in the locker room.

He really saw with his own eyes that Xiao Qingfeng asked his juniors to lock the gate of the gymnasium, so as not to let those annoying scouts come in and pester him to practice.

They are all about to graduate.

Those scouts and team coaches waited in front of Qingfeng's classroom almost every day, just to get a chance to talk to him.

I heard that some even offered exaggerated and unimaginable conditions.

"Before the game, do you think about what to do if you lose?" Aomine threw the towel to him.

"Hmm... no." Blinking, Kise raised the corners of his mouth.

That's right, Xiao Qingfeng is definitely not the kind of person who would think of a way out for himself.

──In his mind, he didn't even think about "if" and "if".Some only have "absolutely" and "certainly".

"I want to take a shower." "Can't I just go back and take a shower?" He didn't want to wait for this guy who could fuck for half an hour even after taking a shower.

"No, I'm wet and sticky. I don't want to be written off by newspapers and magazines for my dirty appearance. Fans will be heartbroken." After speaking, he walked straight to the shower room with his ball bag in his hand.Willful model adults.

Pill bottles rustled in the ball bag.

The time, probably the day after the game.

Aomine Daiki and Seirin's captain and ace walked out of the venue of the BJ West Finals.

At the same time, they all received a public relations ticket for the game from Aomori Captain and current BJ League player Makoto Seto.

"Before going to the United States, let's see the Japanese professional basketball team first."

So here they come.

It didn't take long to see Makoto Seto who was waving hard at them from the back door of the team's entrance.It is said that the brown bear's physique is really very strong. In the game just now, he can only be described as a tank crush to describe his entire performance.

"How about it, BJ's game is very professional, right?" The uniform of the Aomori Bobcats is white, and the logo of the sponsor is sewn all over the jacket.he asked excitedly.

"Compared to the NBA, it's still a lot worse...but I'm working hard."

"That's right! So how about if Vulcan come to us after graduation──" He hooked Vulcan Taiga's shoulder.

"Excuse me, please don't mess with our family's ace player casually, okay?"

Then he was immediately stopped by Captain Seirin.

I saw Seto really clicked his tongue, but let go of his hand calmly.It seems that this guy has also entangled Seirin's trump card, and it is really good enough to be able to stalk to such an extent.Qingfeng thought to himself.

Then, a black Ford van drove up.stop.

"I brought the car here."

With the window down, it's Makoto Seto's girlfriend.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Qiu Nao." She raised her hand in greeting.

"Let me introduce. Vulcan and Kuroko, this is my girlfriend Akino Fujita, a Japanese national karate player. He helped Japan win a silver medal in the last Olympics." "Akino, this is me telling you about me The Kagami I really want to poach, next to them is their captain Tetsuya Kuroko, and Aomine, you know me very well, so I skipped it.”

Heizi bowed politely, and Vulcan followed suit when he saw this.The other party nodded slightly in response.

"Are you both big students?" Vulcan asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's still a standard national player couple. The date is either in the gym or on the playground. They are doing sit-ups and talking about love or something."

Hmm... Isn't it the same as him and Kise?The two flirt while lying on the weight machine while lifting the barbell.Then he was scolded by Wuyue who was on the side.

"Let's get to the point──Aomine and Kagami, are you really not going to study at Aomori University?"

When everyone was sitting at the sukiyaki restaurant and preparing to eat, the first sentence that Captain Aomori uttered.

"Come again, you!"

"You can't give up hope so easily! No matter how many times you reject me, Vulcan, I won't give up and pull you into Aomori University—find a chance for me to talk to your parents! Our school is really good! No cover you!"

Compared with Aomine, Vulcan feels obviously much easier to talk to (and doesn't feel like he will really beat him).So he decided to hang on.

I think that's how he dragged Wakamatsu Takasuke to Aomori University.

"My parents are in the United States, give up."

"How about a video call? I can match the time with your father Lingtang! It doesn't matter if it's midnight!"

"Hey~ that's enough! How long are you going to bother me!"

"I'm sorry, although I think you are a good person, Aomori University is indeed a very good school──But I'm sorry, Vulcan-kun has other goals." Heizi politely declined the other party, he looked at The fire god on the side is me.

"I'm going to North Carolina State University. I'm going to play in the NBA. So sorry." Vulcan's eyes were serious.

Seto really looked at Aomine.Folding his arms, Aomine nodded, his thoughts were the same as Vulcan's.

"...Oh, sure enough, both of you." He sighed greatly, "That's right, if the University of North Carolina came to see me today, I would definitely go right away without saying a word, I only hate that I was born too early! North Carolina It is unprecedented for big scouts to fly to East Asia to find someone. It seems that the market for Asians in the NBA is gradually opening up, thanks to Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin... Otherwise, we yellow races were there in the early years... No matter how hard you try, you will be labeled as "Asian is not good." Scouts will not even watch you play a quarter."

"Really? I feel okay over there." Everyone is very nice.Vulcan was puzzled.

"Children's playing ball is different from professional basketball. Once they cross that line, it's an adult's world~ full of prejudice and the smell of copper." After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands together.

"──Thank you Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin for letting them know that the market for Asians is huge and they can make a lot of money~ Let us thank them for three seconds~" Clasping hands together for three seconds.

"It really smells like copper..." Kagami couldn't help showing disgust.

"What's so shameful about making money? Brat." He poked his chopsticks in front of him. Really shameful!" BJ League player and Aomori Bobcats center Makoto Seto spoke seriously with a raised face.

Vulcan was so refuted that he couldn't speak for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded honestly.

He agrees with what he said.

"Confucianism can be taught." Seto Shin showed such an expression, and then flexibly turned the chopsticks twice, pointing to Aomine who was sitting next to Vulcan.

"You two, I am more optimistic about Qingfeng. His skill performance is very strong, and the visual effect is very good. The NBA likes his exciting style of play--fans love to watch this kind of game." He commented, "But Vulcan, your potential is also very limitless, your ability to stagnate in the air is not something everyone has."

It's almost like growing wings.

"Are you sure he's an active professional player..." His thoughts were completely different from theirs.Heizi also nodded.

Facing the respect of the juniors, the seniors on the basketball road smiled.

"The so-called career is built on the basis of commercial significance. Although there must be winning, affirmation, and love for basketball in the middle, there are more considerations of interests than pure basketball in the student days... Whether it is basketball The team's management method or the league's policy... Whether it is the NBA, BJ or other basketball leagues, it is the same. Without the smell of copper as a foundation, it is impossible to support the stage of your dreams. You will definitely be very unhappy at the beginning. Get used to it." Back then, he also couldn't accept the behavior of exchanging players between teams.There are also so-called negotiation offenses and defenses such as job-hopping and salary.

How could he color his beloved basketball with such interests?

──But later he realized the necessity of it.

"But, I'm serious..." He looked away.

The current professional player, the senior who has knocked off the NBA several times and still refuses to give up, puts his arms around his chest and sighs.

"I sincerely hope that someone in Japan can enter the NBA, no matter who it is. Then let your ball ignite the fire of basketball in Japan and drive the atmosphere, and then after football and baseball, you can also make basketball one of Japan's national sports. Today You guys also came to watch the game, obviously it was an all-star game, but the audience was not full. I also want to say, this is the game I played with the largest audience in the past six months. Basketball is not popular in Japan.” Japanese BJ professional player, Seto really sighs.

"But fortunately, the team takes good care of us. They really respect us as professional athletes. Although the salary is not much different from that of ordinary office workers, it is enough to support our dignity." In Japan, The salary of professional basketball players cannot be compared with that of baseball and football, but it is still passable.For teams and leagues that are still losing money, such a salary is really sincere.

So when they said they were going to the United States, he really had no position to ask them to stay in Japan.

"Aomine, Kagami──" Finally, he said.

"It doesn't matter who you are in the end, you are shining brightly in the United States, please remember - Japan. Please use your activeness to make the Japanese fall in love with basketball!"

BJ League player, active Japanese professional basketball player, put his hands on the table, begging solemnly and decisively──

"── Please burn their passion for basketball."

He bowed his head.

He entrusted the future of Japanese basketball to them.

"I see..." Vulcan solemnly agreed.

"Seto-senpai is really an out-and-out basketball fanatic." Aomine couldn't help but snorted.

For the future of Japanese basketball, he would not hesitate to bow his head to a kid so many years younger than him.

How much does this guy love basketball?

"Making Japanese basketball popular is my lifelong career, Makoto Seto. All the Japanese in BJ... no, all the Japanese who choose basketball as their career think so."

Please don't forget.

where you grew up.

When you are soaring, please remember to look back and pull these places that have supported you to thrive.

"Hmm... This is the first time I've seen an active professional player..." Heizi said quietly.

"He really loves basketball, works hard, and has been working hard to spread his love for basketball," Vulcan said.

"Although it's a bit annoying." I always wanted to poach him and Vulcan Taime.

The three walked to the subway station together.

In fact, watching this game today is not without any gains. At least they all know the current situation of the Japanese professional basketball team, and it can be regarded as a good homework for their basketball career.

"Zhe, you are graduating this year, will you continue playing?" Aomine Daiki asked.

The subway station is crowded with people.

"Of course I will join the basketball team after I go to college." "Advanced school? Aren't your grades average?" Professional sports agent?

"Well, let the light shine, and be the driving force behind them. I like this kind of work very much." Heizi nodded resolutely.

If you can't continue to be side by side on the field, then become the strongest support off the field.

"Where is Kise-kun?" Heizi asked the person who logically should appear today, "Isn't he going to become a full-time artist after graduation? Why do you think he has a lot less work recently?" Even the exposure rate is high. Not as good as before.

"Oh...that guy said he didn't want to be a model anymore, wanted to change directions, maybe change offices. He looked tired over there." When he called him in the morning, his voice sounded like Like just fell asleep not long ago.

"I don't know much about that aspect," Heizi said.

"I don't understand either. But judging by his expression, he looks forward to changing his employer; it should be a good thing."

To be honest, although Kise didn't reveal much, judging from a few things that happened this year, Kise's office really didn't treat him well.It's okay to change.

"I originally asked him to watch the game, but he said he was going to the office in the afternoon, so I came alone." BJ's tickets are not cheap. I originally wanted to say that since there are two free PR tickets Let's make a date, but when he called in the morning and heard the tired voice, he just let it go.

Getting him enough sleep is more important than this.

After the third grade, he almost stayed at school to keep an eye on his juniors and the team, and even the number of nights spent at Kise's house decreased.He really hopes that the two of them can spend more time together, so he wants to seize every opportunity.

When did he become such an annoying boyfriend?

"Ryo said it seemed like he was going to be rehearsing for some show... something like dancing, right? So I told him to get enough sleep at home."

"Isn't Kise-kun a bad sense of rhythm?" This is something everyone in Teiko knows.

"That's why you need to practice." Aomine shrugged.

"Uh..." Hugging his legs, Kise curled up in the quilt.

Pain deep in the knee.It was as if someone had taken a needle and poked it in and out repeatedly.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead one by one, and he couldn't get up.

In yesterday's match against Hidetoku, Midorima and Takao's combination was really tricky.It forced him to copy Xiaoqingfeng for a full 5 minutes before finally suppressing Xiude's fierce offensive.

Everyone... really... have become stronger...

Cold sweat dripped down his face. Although his face was pale from the pain, there was a smile on his lips.

Is it pain?Still hyper? ──The depths of his body trembled.

"I...can't lose..." he said to himself.
