Double AS

On the morning of the finals, they woke up in each other's arms.

Staring at each other, I don't know who reached out and embraced each other first—a deep and long kiss.No one is willing to let go of anyone first.

The two entangled their lips and teeth like this, and stroked each other for a long time.

In the end, Qingfeng felt that something bad would happen if he continued like this, so he let it go.

"If Wuyue knew that we had a first round in the morning of the finals, he would definitely kill us both." Qingfeng let go first, "My physical strength is completely fine, but you should put all your energy on the game .”

"The rest, save it for tonight to celebrate—only do what you like." Aomine deliberately lowered her voice next to his ear, and said sexyly in a hoarse magnetic voice.

The roots of the white ears turned red instantly.

"Thank you, Ryo." Then he added quickly.

Kise turned her head in surprise, just in time to meet Aomine's gaze.

"Thank you for always being by my side. Ryo." His expression was serious, "Oh... I should have said that earlier." Aomine lowered his head and scratched the back of his head vigorously.

"──However, it's still too late, right?" After finishing speaking, he took Kise's hand and gently kissed the back of his hand.

That is a sign of surrender.

He admitted that he was completely defeated by him, by the stalker of Kise Ryota.

He only loves him in his life, wholeheartedly, there will be no second.

Tears welled up in the amber eyes.

"Yeah." He answered with a choked voice.

Qingfeng's dark palms slowly met his own, and the two fingers slowly interlocked.

"Huase, come to Emperor Tong. Come to me."

"Xiao Qingfeng, let us win together for another three years."

"Let's go, let's go to the last game. Let's fulfill our first promise—the promise of winning three years in a row."

Aomine held his hand tightly and said to him firmly.

Tong Huang's third year, the last ball game.

The time has finally come.

"Doctor Narita, I'm sorry to trouble you to take a break from the clinic for half a day."

"It's nothing. Kise-kun is my patient. I think it would be best if I, the doctor in charge, stand guard on the sidelines." Then he glanced at Kise who was sitting aside to reserve his strength.

"And I really want to see with my own eyes, what kind of game can make him so persistent. Let me open my eyes, Kise-kun."

"Today, I'm going to trouble everyone." Kise stood up and bowed deeply in front of all the players. "──Please let me graduate without regret."

A deep ninety-degree bow.

This is his retirement match.

"Of course, we have to win arrogantly from the first grade to graduation. Arrogant and domineering, this is Tonghuang's true nature." The teammates in the third grade smiled.

"We will all support our seniors and Emperor Tong to the last moment!"

"Let's race to the end together."

"──" The Tonghuang Twin Kings are the strongest in the world! ""

Everyone formed a circle, put their hands on their shoulders, and shouted excitedly.Everyone is smiling.

Tonghuang's last match in three years officially started.

"Hi, it's the last moment of winning the Winter Cup again. I'm the anchor Yamashita──Although you may think I'm annoying, you still have to listen to me broadcast the Japanese Men's High School Winter Cup Championship." "I'm Kobayashi, the ball commentator. "

"Kobayashi, do you know? Today's game is really very, very special──" "Isn't this the same for championship games?"

"No, no, besides today's match is the championship match of the Winter Cup, it is also the last match of Tonghuang Shuangwang! The last match of Shuangwang's high school career!" "You still said you have no preference Emperor Tong..."

"I'm a professional person, and I've always broadcast fairly and justly──Ah! Kise has appeared and the cameraman quickly cue him!"

"..."

"Hey, isn't that football commentator really a fan of yours?" Vulcan felt that black lines were falling off his face. "Hahaha, at most he can only send flowers to the waiting room. It seems that Mr. Yamashita will order flowers every time the championship is held."

Heizi glanced at Qingfeng, Qingfeng only shrugged, he was used to it long ago.

"I didn't expect that you could come here all the way through. Little Heizi, little Vulcan." Kise hooked Aomine's shoulder with one hand.Although he was smiling, his expression was murderous.

"Ryo, you talk too much." Aomine also smoothly hooked his hands around Kise's waist.

"Do you have to deliberately hook and hug like this?" Seirin's ace finally couldn't help it.

"Of course, this is the secret of our winning streak for three years." Tonghuang's captain and ace are still imposing this year.

"Vulcan Lord, come here." Heizi opened his hand expressionlessly.

"Don't take these two idiots seriously!" Vulcan yelled.

"Players line up. Captains of both sides, please come out."

"Please teach me, Aomine-kun."

"I really didn't expect this day to come."

Game start.

"Seirin suddenly emerged as a super dark horse this summer. Although the results in the first two years were not too bad, this year's performance can only be described as "rushing". Especially the side that defeated the king Luoshan to enter the championship, must fall It broke the glasses of many people." The anchor Yamashita introduced the new faces of this year's championship.Seirin High School, which has been in the army for only a few years, is a big upset this year. No one thought that they could pass all the way, defeat Luoshan, and come to the Winter Cup Championship.

"Seirin's style of play is actually the same as Tong Huang's. They are good at attacking rather than defending. Their running and bombing tactics have added a lot of value to this year's game." Ball commentator Kobayashi analyzed. . "But Tonghuang is much stronger inside." "The attack is also much stronger." The anchor discussed with the ball commentators.

"So, the last match of this year is a match between knives and knives, swords and swords, swords and swords──" Finally, the anchor Yamashita made a conclusion. "In the end──is it the king of the basket, Tonghuang, who will continue to dominate for three consecutive years, or the challenger, Seirin, who can overthrow the "tyranny"?"

No matter which side wins, it is full of topicality.

"Stay out of the way, little Vulcan." As soon as Kise received the ball, he immediately met Seirin's trump card.Although the tone is light, but the sinking eyes are serious.No one can stop him today.

"Who will really get out of the way."

The two went back and forth like that for a while, neither giving way, and finally Kise passed the ball to Aomine—the ball was hoisted back immediately, with a time difference of less than 0.1 seconds.

──A forced layup.

Go straight to the basket in the restricted area.

Vulcan and Nakamine Fukuhara took off in real time, and saw Kise unhurriedly take back the ball that was dunked in his hand, holding the ball with both hands, swaying in the air and pretending to shoot──

"Don't let him pass the ball to Aomine!"

Before the voice finished, Kise went around the ball with a backhand and smashed it directly on the basket. Then, when everyone still didn't understand what happened, Kise immediately broke through and grabbed the basket by himself, and put The popped ball was dunked back to the basket──a series of flowing movements, like a gust of wind blowing by.

The audience was stunned for a second before bursting into cheers.

"It's too early to stop Tonghuang's queen at this level." Huang Lai turned around and ran away after leaving this sentence.

"Queen!" "Queen!" "Queen!" "Queen!" "Queen!" "Queen!" "Queen!" The wave of support was violently ups and downs.

At the beginning of the game, Tonghuang Xianchi scored.There is no point in taking it slow.

"Damn, I thought you really wanted to give me the ball!" Aomine, who thought he could make a shot, was a little upset.

"Hey, it's the best deception if you can fool your own people."

"... Forget it, I'll leave it to you today." "Thank you Xiaoqingfeng~"

"That blond doll's feints are as good as professional players'." To be able to make such a superb continuous feint, as well as that first-class body response, is indeed a good material.The North Carolina scout propped his face against the railing on the second floor.

"It's a pity he didn't take good care of himself—" he murmured, his falcon's gaze focused on the kid's lap.

His movements were not as smooth as in the previous game.

In the case of Tonghuang's continuous shots, Seirin has been unable to grasp the rhythm of the game, and he can't really display his best running and bombing, so he can only resist tenaciously.

At the end of the first quarter, Tonghuang took the lead.

Kise almost threw himself on the bench. "Please, tie my right knee again to fix it." This level of rhythm is not enough to make him breathless, but the uncontrollable feeling of his legs makes it difficult for him to fully exert his ability.

Although he just had painkillers in his knees before the game—two in his left leg and one in his right leg—but after only one session, he felt his right knee—the side where the ligament was torn—began to loosen.When I run, I feel like my legs are about to fall off.

Vulcan turned his head, only to see Tong Huang's manager desperately spraying coolant on Huang Lai's knee, and on the other side, someone who looked like an accompanying medical staff put a bandage on Huang Lai's leg again.

"──Looks like the rumors are true, Kise's knee is injured." Seirin's coach, Keita Aida, was also looking at the group of people like him.

"That kind of performance? That kind of movement? No way?" Was it actually done by a wounded soldier?Vulcan looked at the Tonghuang team resting in the field in surprise.Kise's face was covered with a towel, Aomine supported him from behind, and seemed to be saying something to him.Kise could only be seen nodding while listening.

"Did you get injured during the semifinals?" Vulcan asked.He remembered that Kise fell down on the court once, but returned to the court before the end of the game, and scored several points in a row for Yangquan.

"Partly yes, partly not." Kuroko said calmly while sipping on a sports drink, "I once said that Kise-kun put too much burden on himself in order to keep up with Aomine..."

The strength and toughness of the body cannot keep up with the speed and intensity of the movement, and the end result is to cause injury.

Seirin's captain, Kuroko Tetsuya sat quietly on the bench, clasped his hands.

"Everyone came here with their own commitments on their shoulders──We also bear our own oaths, Lord Vulcan." He said calmly, staring deeply into his heart.

The second quarter starts.

"Aomine holds the ball! Kagami is clenching his teeth! Is the king going to meet the king at the beginning?" Seirin took the initiative to confront Emperor Tong──Katami Taiga VS Aomine Daiki.

Dribbling the ball unhurriedly, Aomine stared at Kagami calmly.

"Don't make me too boring." Aomine said.There seemed to be flames flickering in the indigo eyes.

It was so powerful that it gave rise to the illusion of coercion that would be crushed, overwhelming, directly pressing down from the forehead—the coercion of Emperor Tonghuang.

Facing Aomine's provocation, Vulcan just stared at him fiercely without saying a word.

The two remained in a stalemate like that for a while, neither letting the other go.

Kise wanted to go around to support him, but was blocked—"Your opponent is me, Kise-kun." Heizi said.

"Vulcan-kun has been thinking about the old grudges all the time over the years. Let them have a good fight──Then I should also settle the old scores after the first year of high school." Although the expression was calm, but The desire to fight was also burning deep in the bottom of his eyes.

Kise showed a knowing smile.

"Once again, it's a match like this again."

It turned out to be a desperate battle between light and shadow.

Kuroko and Kise's oneonone.

"I didn't expect Xiao Heizi to be such a vengeful person."

"It's not too late to know now."

Cheng Lincai oppressed the defense all over the court, relentlessly suppressing Tong Huang, who had won the ball, on their own court, and did not give the opponent half a minute to step into Cheng Lin's territory.

──The time to hold the ball is almost up.

Aomine started to move, dribbling the ball left and right, swinging her body wildly.

I remember the last time the two sides confronted each other like this, it was in the freshman year of high school.

"I was too stupid at the time. I was always entangled in some meaningless things, so that I lost important things without realizing it." The sneakers rubbed against the floor, and he was stopped.

"Well, yes. At that time, Kise-kun said something very offensive." Heizi said calmly.

──If you can snatch a point from the double kings, the disrupted rhythm can be regained, and the morale can be improved in one go.

The two dated like that for a while.No one can really get rid of anyone.

"Haha...then I might make you feel disgusted again──" Aomine directly lobbed the ball over, taking advantage of his height, Kise jumped up and intercepted the ball.

"─No matter how many times you challenge, Tonghuang will always be the king of the basket. I will not show mercy."

Lowering his body, he accelerated past Heizi in an instant.

"Kise passed Captain Seirin! Directly dribble the ball into the half!" The anchor's excited voice came from the microphone.

"Mr. Jiangqi! Mr. Futian!" Heizi shouted.

The one-on-one full-court marking was broken.

Seirin's center and back rushed up to follow Kise.

"It's time for a change of dynasty!"

"This level! Don't even think about it!"

The challenger and the challenged.

"We have also worked hard here. We didn't come here without paying anything!" Kise's dunk was blocked, the ball was intercepted in an instant, and it was almost passed to Heizi, but the ball was about to change hands. At this time, Sakurai suddenly shot out halfway, and he just snatched the ball back──

"Nice interception! A quick layup by Tonghuang's top scorer Sakurai Ryo! Tonghuang scored first."

Sakurai turned to look at Heizi, and that look was full of oppression.

"So did we," Sakurai said. "Three years in a row. We didn't get this position for nothing."

Faced with the opponent's fierce counterattack, Heizi smiled slightly instead.

"──Don't be underestimated for nothing. Let's run, it's time to fight back! Seirin!"

Following the captain's shout, the support team on the sidelines also began to clamor—the huge black, red, white and blue school flags in the stands moved wildly.

"Seirin!" "Tonghuang!" "Seirin!" "Tonghuang!" "Seirin!" "Tonghuang!" "Seirin!"

Competing on and off the field.

The game has finally begun──

"I won't let you pass this time!" Fire God once again blocked Qingfeng's way.

"Aren't you tired of saying the same thing every year?"

The momentum collided with each other, it was like two wild beasts fighting under the basket.

"Oh, it's very good. He can bite Tonghuang's Qingfeng to such an extent. That red-haired boy... looks familiar." Leaning on the guardrail of the grandstand area on the second floor is the scout from the University of North Carolina.

"I remember him. I saw him in the student basketball camps last year and the summer of the year before. His name is Vulcan University, right?" Another scout from the University of North Carolina touched his chin.He remembers the person who was chasing after Tonghuang No. [-]──

In last year's basketball camp, he was not so good.

"I've made great progress, little tiger." The scout said with great interest.

"Of course, my big self is my cutest apprentice." Alex glanced at his old acquaintance proudly, "Whether it is talent or skill, I will never lose to Aomine Daiki."

"Really? I hope he doesn't disappoint us too much."

No matter what their purpose is, the game is always fun when you meet your opponent──

"Woooooh! Seirin's ace is grabbing points in a row! The score is catching up!" "As expected of this year's strongest challenger! The dark horse is finally running!" overshadowed.

Seirin's bombardment and fast attack responded to Tong Huang, who had been pressing them hard from the beginning to now, for several points.

Vulcan finally pulled the battle situation into a considerable situation.

"That's great, it's not in vain that we train every day until he spits it out." Alex smiled and waved to Coach Aida Jinghu who was below.After Riko graduated, his daughter-obsessed father finally couldn't stand his daughter's begging, and took over the position of Seirin's coach.

"...You are more ruthless than we imagined." The two tall scouts couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"But I'm proud of this level." Kise countered sharply, "Tong Huang encounters this level of challenge every year!"

Immediately stepped forward and quickly cut off Seirin's fast attack.

"On fast attack! Tonghuang is an expert—amateurs give me a break!"

Kise dodged several people in a row, and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area with amazing momentum. Seirin Koichi Kawahara and Nakamine Fukuda immediately blocked his way. Such a two-person defense is simply commonplace for Kise, and the situation is urgent. Stop, jump and shoot without thinking.

"Rebound!"

The ball hit the hoop and bounced out──Aomine and Kagami took off almost at the same time.

Although Vulcan's jumping ability is better, Aomine is still superior, and directly stuck him out, dunking the basket with one hand──

Facing Seirin's counterattack, Tonghuang immediately slapped him back.

"Wow! Aomine's slam dunk was really hard!" He just squeezed out from under Vulcan's basket.

Although the ball was sentenced to a foul, the significance of dismounting is far greater than scoring. The anchor Yamashita covered his face with his hands and smiled excitedly. He really sympathized with the red-haired boy who was directly kicked down.

"I seem to see two beasts locked in the penalty area fighting." The ball commentator also kept laughing.

"Is this the level of your running and bombing? I'm so bored that I'm about to fall asleep." Qingfeng snorted at Vulcan who just got up from the ground.

Facing the opponent's provocation, even though he was extremely upset, Vulcan only clicked his tongue and ran away—preparing for a free throw.

"Provocation is useless~ Xiao Qingfeng~" Kise ran past him and smiled, "We are not the only ones who grow up~"

"Ryo, you're very talkative."

Everyone lined up around the free throw line, leaving only Vulcan in the penalty area.He dribbled the ball and confirmed the touch.

"Vulcan-kun, Coach Aida said that if you miss the free throw, you will add ten sets when you go back to practice." Heizi reminded "kindly" to Vulcan who was about to make a free throw.

"I know! Don't remind me!"

Vulcan dribbled the ball a few times and took off lightly.The first goal is scored.

Then comes the second ball.

The ball deviated from the track when it left the hand and hit the basket──

"I won't go in!" The Tonghuang center who was standing under the basket immediately jumped up.

But at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, Vulcan Da I didn't know when he rushed up and grabbed it at a faster speed──directly dunking the ball back to the basket.

The fans also stood up and cheered loudly in disbelief.

"Beautiful tip-in! Beautiful free throw tip!" "He jumped from the free throw line, did he grow wings?"

The ball commentator excitedly knocked on the anchor platform.

On the screen, Seirin's ace, Kagami Taiga, was clinking fists with his teammates in excitement.

"I'm so sorry, my trump card has wings." Heizi laughed.

The gesture of jumping and dunking from the free throw line is almost like an angel.

His eyes were also very excited.

This game is evenly matched.

The fighting spirit on both sides was extremely high.

"Brue," the scout straightened up in disbelief, his eyes blazing.

"I know, and I'm thinking of him too—the most outstanding alumnus UNC has ever had."

It is the only one in the world that enjoys the reputation of "trapeze".

The only great player in the NBA.

Also God.

"Do you still want to sleep now? ──Aomine Daiki." Using a flying dunk as a challenge, he finally retaliated to the arrogant bastard.

"Hmph~ It's perfect to use as a wake-up alarm clock."

He seems to be in a good mood.

In the second quarter, Tonghuang Emperor Qingfeng and Seirin's ace Vulcan entangled each other back and forth, pouring hot pot on each other, colliding with offense and defense. Divided seesaw.Sometimes Seirin takes the lead, and sometimes Tonghuang catches up.

The situation was deadlocked, and both sides tried their best.

No one dares to really judge who can win.

"Buzzer!" Just as the buzzer sounded at halftime, Kise made a three-pointer unexpectedly.

"Good job Kise-senpai!"

Now they are leading by a small margin.

But Kise never stood up again.

"Are you okay?" Qingfeng immediately went over and whispered.

Everyone understands what happened.

"Hmm... can you give me a hand?" Kise lowered his head, sweat dripping from his expressionless face, "... the effect of the painkiller injection... is starting to fade..."

Knees are already shaking.He couldn't even get back to his feet after a jump shot.

Aomine directly wrapped Kise's arm around his shoulder, and the other hand directly clasped his waist. The junior also stepped forward to help lift Kise's other shoulder, and the two of them worked together to bring him off the stage.

Vulcan and Heizi just watched them go.

Neither spoke.

in the lounge.

"...I'm sorry...can...can you take me off?" Kise sat on the bench with his head down, sweat dripping like rain.

"I guess I'll stop here." He bowed his head.

"If things go on like this, it's not surprising that the situation will be reversed at any time. Seirin is no longer what he was back then, and they do have the strength to aspire to the championship..." No matter how hard he tried, his feet just couldn't keep up with his movements, That feeling that the heart is still eager to fight again, but the body doesn't listen to it.After two quarters in a row, his body clearly told himself that he could no longer return to the past peak moment.

"My current situation... I can't play half of my level... If I continue to stay on the court, I will only drag everyone down." Kise murmured, "I still want to see Tonghuang win the championship, so, Put me down──It hurts!"

Qingfeng directly picked up the sports water bottle and punched him on the head.

"Xiao Qingfeng, what are you doing!" Kise yelled, pressing her head and raising her face. ──Although the bottle is soft, it still hurts to hit it!

"I just want to ask what you are doing! Kise Ryota, what the hell are you doing!?" Without any intention of pity him, Tong Huang's captain directly opened his throat and cursed, "──I knew it would be like this ，那你当初还为什么执意要上场？你在体育馆打我那几拳是揍爽的吗？你让大家替你求情是求假的吗？──还有你对篮球的热爱也是假的吗？ Don't be self-willed! Since you want to do it! Don't give up halfway!"

Do you think he is the only one who has made up his mind?

Tonghuang's leader, Qingfeng Daihui stood in front of him like that.

Looking straight at him awe-inspiringly.

"I'll ask you one last time—this is the last game of your life, do you really want to sit on the bench until the end? Answer me."

"...I don't want it." Kise murmured.

"I don't want to—"

He gritted his teeth, his golden eyes were full of unwillingness.

This is the last game in his life!he does not want!He is not reconciled!He doesn't want to end up like this!He's going to run on the field until the last moment!Until I can no longer stand up!

Aomine looked at him with that look in his eyes, and nodded.

"Yukimura, come up to cool off. Sakurai started the third quarter, please run on both sides, and Ichinose too. Please support each other at the position of Komae Mine and guard." He began to mobilize the team.

"I'll give you a one-quarter break, and I'll come back in the fourth quarter—don't you want to stay on the court until the last moment? Just stand there until the whistle blows." Leave the rest to him .

Aomine Daiki did this to his trump card.said his queen.

"...Thank you, Xiaoqingfeng." The voice was almost crying.

He thanked him sincerely.

"I'm going to give you two more injections in each leg. Kise-kun." Dr. Narita came over with a medicine box on his back.It will take some time for the painkiller injection to be able to move freely, so he needs to get another injection now.

"Hmm..." Kise nodded.

The players sensibly stayed out.

The living room was quiet, only a loud noise came from inside.

──Kise couldn't help but punched the iron cabinet, her lips were bitten until bloodshot.Qingfeng hugged him from behind, stabilized and pressed his body firmly.

The supervisor and Momoi respectively held down his leg so that Dr. Narita could give another injection.

In a game, it is not a joke to get two painkillers in a row.

There were pinholes on his white knees, and every needle mark showed that his legs had reached their limit.And all he can do is to numb the pain and delay the time of the collapse—even if he dies, he must hold on until the end of this season.

"Ah..." Kise moaned hoarsely.Although he tried his best to endure it, the pain was too unbearable, it was soaked into his bones like strong acid, he couldn't help struggling, Qingfeng grabbed his body from behind and forced him to calm down.

Aomine hugged him tightly like that, and hugged the trembling Kise into his arms.He closed his eyes in pain.

Cold sweat dripped down like rain from his face covered with a towel, his face turned pale and blue.Kise panted in pain, the sound was like the sound of a seriously injured animal lingering on its last legs.

Aomine put his palms on the towel covering Kise's face, covering his expression, with the sound of tears in his trembling breath, he knew he didn't want anyone to see his current appearance.

The only thing he can do for him right now.And that's all that's left.
