Double AS

The last ball──Dedicated to Tonghuang's queen.

He Qingfeng Dahui kept his promise.

"As long as you go to play, will you really eat it for me?" "Yes, French macarons, Belgian chocolate, Austrian royal desserts, you can eat the most famous local desserts every time you go to a game. .”

European Union scouts fell in love with Yangquan's Ziyuan.

"Congratulations Xiaoliang! Aomori University's recommendation has been confirmed!? God, it's amazing──But doesn't this mean that Xiaoliang will become Wakamatsu-senpai's junior again?" "Yes , I will join the Aomori University basketball team when I go to college; after all, because I transferred to another school suddenly when I was a sophomore in high school, I didn’t have time to play the championship with my senior. So I decided to go to Aomori University.”

"Momoi-san will definitely be fine, and he will definitely be admitted to Waseda."

Ryo Sakurai was exempted from the test and sent to Aomori University.Momoi signed up for the exam at Waseda University in May, aiming at the Department of Sports Management.

And then there's...

"Mr. Cotton, Mr. Brook!" The reporters chased after the two tall black men in well-fitting suits, "Can you explain why you finally fell in love with him? ──Can you stand out from the powerhouses of the Generation of Miracles and become the North Star? Can you tell us the reason for the first Japanese to be recommended by the University of Cardiology?"

The two two-meter-tall scouts glanced at each other and smiled with abnormally white teeth.

"Because we see infinite plasticity in him."

The two scouts said in unison.

"Welcome to North Carolina University, Mr. Vulcan Taiga!"

"Hey! Why did the one in the back stop?! Continue to vote!" As usual, Daiki Aomine, who was wearing a sports uniform, crossed his arms and walked back and forth between the first and second grades while yelling.

The sound of basketball bouncing on the ground, and the sound of sneakers grinding on the bright field.The smell of sweat, and a large piece of light cast by the rising sun obliquely from the window on the third floor.

5X300, five fixed points, each throwing [-] balls. One of the secrets of NBA superstar player Kobe Bryan's ecstasy is also a daily nightmare since Tong Huang's cold training.

"Remember the lessons of this year, and take revenge at this time next year──Did you hear me?" Captain Tong Huang shouted, Qingfeng Daihui.

"yes!!!!"

"I thought you would be depressed, Oda." Momoi walked past him with a half-smile, and stuffed the front page of today's sports newspaper into Aomine's hands.

Aomine spread out, and in the middle of the front page was the expression of Vulcan Da I being overwhelmed and almost turning around to run away.

"Hmph, this guy still looks stupid." He hummed and smiled.Then he threw the newspaper back to his childhood sweetheart.

"──It's just going back to the original plan." Qingfeng said, "Go to the United States directly after graduation, play there for a year to get familiar with the style of play there, and then participate in the NBA rookie draft in June next year── My goal is still the NBA, it hasn't changed."

"It's hard to underestimate you for saying such mature words," Momoi said with a smile.

"Of course──If I'm depressed just because of this kind of thing, it also means that my persistence is nothing more than that." I stretched out my hand and caught the ball flying from behind.

Dribbled the ball a few times and took off──

"I won't stop—"

The orange ball draws a strange trajectory in the dawn.

Swish into the basket.

"The game is never over—my game is still going on."

He stared at the hoop.

This is not the end, but the beginning.

dream,

never ending──

His basketball dream.

Seeing his radiant look, Wuyue tilted her head.She was really happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

"Are your uncles and aunts supportive?" She asked the most crucial thing.

"Hmm..." He scratched the back of his neck, but didn't speak.A light-colored scar on his forehead is very conspicuous against the thoroughly dark skin.

Because of the conflict between Kise and the reporter, the championship game was postponed for a few days. This year's Winter Cup ended very late, and immediately after the end, it was New Year's Eve.

He went home to celebrate the new year, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and New Year's Day, for three whole days, the father and son stayed under the same roof, but they didn't talk to each other—almost wherever he went, his father would immediately Put down what you are doing and walk away on the spot.

Not even a word or a look.

Completely as if he didn't exist.

"But my mother is very supportive of me." Aomine Daiki said.

"Auntie!?" Momoi blinked in surprise.Aren't Uncle Taisuke the final say?

"Well, she said to me, "Just go ahead and do it, and I will support you if the sky falls"—she completely agreed with me to go to the United States."

And she told herself not to worry about what dad thought, she would handle it. "──You just need to think about how to realize your dreams."

With such backing, how could he give up easily?

"And my mother was afraid that I would starve to death in the United States, so she specially issued a credit card for me—" After speaking, she really showed an American Express card.

""When you have no money, you can just swipe, and I will pay the bill" My mother really told me that." She was serious.

"Wow..." Wu Yue took the credit card, "The limit is really not small... Auntie really dotes on you, Yea..." I couldn't help but sigh.

There are really not many who can support their son's dream to such an extent.

Qingfeng's mother's love for her son is really great, great.

"I think so too." To be honest, when his mother really pushed the card in front of him, he was stunned on the spot, "Then my sister signed up for an American conversation class for me without authorization, and also Told me to go to class──Thisisthepan~ Damn, she really thinks I can't even get out of the US airport."

"Then do you know what the English word for "out of the country" is?" "..." "You should go to class..."

The basketball hits the hoop, lands, and the sound of sneakers rubbing against each other.

They just looked at each other for a while.

"Have you talked to Xiao Huang? About going to America." May finally asked.

"said."

It's useless to hide this kind of thing, not to mention that Kise is the person who understands his dream best.

He had told him when they were hugging each other naked in his single bed where two people were squeezed together from Teiko.One day, I will leave this fish tank and swim to a wider and bigger ocean.

Huang Lai has been chasing dreams with him all the way, and he understands his desire better than anyone else.

"Xiao Huang will definitely be very lonely if you're not here." Wu Yue pursed her lips, "In his current condition, he probably won't be able to take any jobs in a short time, right? Is the operation going well?"

"The right ligament has been transplanted with a new tendon, and I can't get out of bed now, but I can be discharged from the hospital in two days, and I can use crutches in about a week."

Kise was admitted to the hospital the day before yesterday and had surgery.The anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee was completely broken, and there was no possibility of repairing it at all. It could only be reconstructed by transplantation. The posterior thigh tendon was transplanted to the knee to replace the completely broken cruciate ligament.

Although the patellar tendinitis on the left side is also very serious, it is nothing compared to the completely severed ligament.It is estimated that after the recovery of the right leg is almost complete, the operation on the left knee will be performed again.

"How long did the doctor say it would take to recover?" May asked.

"...At least two years before I can fully return to my original normal person." However, playing basketball and the like is out of the question for the rest of my life.

"Sounds...very serious..."

"I heard from the doctor that as long as you recover properly, it's not a problem to walk and live or even continue to be a model. So help me keep an eye on that guy when I'm not around." Qingfeng said seriously.

"Help me keep an eye on him, two years. I will pick him up in two years and go to America." He meant it seriously.

Give yourself two years to fight for NBA players and get a guaranteed contract.Then he returned to Japan with that paper contract, loudly said that he would take him away, and then get married in the United States.

Although he was talking about an extremely naive idea, Wu Yue didn't interrupt him.

She really hoped that the two of them could really be together and stay together like that forever.

two years...

Qingfeng rested his chin and watched the bustling people and cars passing by outside the car window.

As soon as the car drove into the downtown area, when I looked up, almost all the people on the billboard screens had changed—a year ago, this place was still ruled by supermodel Ryota Kise.

Now it is all occupied by unfamiliar faces.People are good at forgetting.

Even if you liked it so much, it will be diluted with time, and then slowly forgotten.

On the huge electronic billboard, a stylish and tall handsome man with his jeans top hooked up turned his body and looked at him with a smile from the corner of his eyes.Same blond hair, same slanted eyes.

Looking at him with a half smile.

──But if it’s not Ryo, everything is wrong.

The car stopped in front of Dadu Provincial Hospital.The place where Kise's mother worked was also where Kise was hospitalized and operated on.

"Thank you mom for driving me here." Aomine carried a bag on his back and carried a bag in his hand; all of them were things that Kise needed for hospitalization.

"Just on the way." Aomine Megumi wrote lightly.

She knew he was coming to see Kise.

Seeing his mother's expression was not very resistant, "...do you want to go up and see him?" Qingfeng said.This time he was careful.

His face was troubled.

Seeing his mother's instant silence, he understood.

"Well, there is no rush, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future."

Anyway, the days are still long, and she will be able to accept it one day; he also understands that this kind of thing needs to be done slowly, and don't force her too much to accept it all at once.

Qingfeng directly closed the car door and was about to leave.

"Wait..." Megumi Aomine suddenly stopped him.

"Um... your "friend" has a serious foot injury?" Her expression was very complicated.

"It's serious... For an athlete, it is indeed a serious injury, but for an ordinary person, it will not affect life... I have put too much pressure on him in the past three years. In order to be able to cooperate with me on the court, he has been working hard. They are all silently forcing themselves.”

But he was very happy that his mother would take the initiative to ask about Kise's injury, which was a good start.

"I'll pass on Mom's greetings to him." He smiled, looking really happy.

Megumi Aomine just looked at her son in such a good mood, with mixed feelings in her heart.
