Black Basket Ueno Juri

Looking at Midorima who had arrived late, and then at Takao who was breathing heavily behind him, Kise couldn't help but smile and waved to him.

"Little Midorima, you seem to be late."

He raised his hand to push up his glasses, looked at the basketball court below which had begun to be cleaned, glanced at the scoreboard again, frowned slightly, and then said calmly.

"You have no power to fight back?"

Hearing this, Kise couldn't help but look at the scoreboard. He was a little confused about the basketball game behind Todai.

"That's not entirely true. Okay, Xiao Midorima, I'm leaving now. Let's get together when we have time."

After saying that, Kise waved to the confused Midorima, then turned and left.

"Not all of them?"

Glancing at the ragdoll cat in his hand, Midorima pushed up his glasses. What did Kise's words mean?

Takao, who was behind him, sat down directly on the rest bench.

He hated Tonghuang High School very much.

Even though it was big, the basketball court was built at the very back, and he had to ride a tricycle to find it for most of the day.

"Let's go!"

Midorima called out to Takao who was slumped there, and turned around and left.

"Nani?"

Looking at Midorima who had turned around and left, Takao, who had just sat down and hadn't had time to breathe, couldn't help but froze.

…………

on the subway.

Looking at Kuroko who was silent beside him, Kagami couldn't help but feel concerned.

"Heizi, what's wrong with you?"

He shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine, but Heizi didn't make a sound.

Turning to look out the window, Kuroko was very curious about the No. [-] player from Dongda University.

The other person's height seemed to be shorter than him.

...............

Dongda, on the bus.

Sitting quietly in the back, Ueno glanced at the exhausted crowd, and then at Sora Kuratani, who was bowing his head and saying nothing. He didn't know how to speak.

Although today is just a friendly match.

But it was also the first basketball game since the establishment of their basketball club.

It can be said that it is still very meaningful.

However, I never expected that the loss would be so ugly.

This is definitely a big blow to them.

Looking at the situation of his team members through the rearview mirror, coach Xinhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed slightly in his heart.

Even though their school, Dongda University, has been established for more than ten years.

But it can be said that the basketball team has only been established for less than a month.

He had actually guessed the outcome of today's game.

But Ueno's strength made him a little shocked and happy.

However, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot win the championship trophy alone.

The overall level of Dongda is indeed very weak.

And based on the current strength and condition, whether you can enter the preliminary round is a question.

The most likely thing is that the summer split will be a formality.

Just as Ueno was thinking about coach Shinkawa's words, the silent Kurutani Sora next to him suddenly spoke up.

"Ueno, I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Ueno couldn't help but be startled, and then asked Sora Kuratani, who was looking down at the side, in confusion.

"Sora, what did you say? Why did you suddenly apologize to me?"

Without raising his head, Chetani Sora still lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Ueno, it's all because I held everyone back."

After replacing Ueno, Sora Kurutani faced Aomine directly.

Even if Qingfeng is in a tired state, he is no match.

As the ace, Qingfeng is naturally the main scorer.

Therefore, in the subsequent games, basically all points are lost in empty hands.

Looking at Sora who blamed himself, Ueno shook his head slightly and smiled.

"Akong, this is not your problem, but my problem."

His body trembled slightly, but Kuratani Sora didn't say a word in response to Ueno's words.

For Dongda, today's friendly match is definitely unforgettable.

Without him.

Just because they didn't have a field player on the field, they only scored three goals.

Moreover, these three goals were all made by Tonghuang High School.

Following Kurutani Sora's silence, the bus became silent again.

Even Kyoichi Kami, who was usually very active, was sitting quietly aside, wrapping himself tightly in his coat.

The bus slowly drove to the gate of Dongda University.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Coach Xinhe did not get up and get out of the car, but remained silent for a moment before speaking out.

"The real charm of basketball is not winning!"

"If you only think about winning, you will miss a lot."

After saying that, Coach Xinhe stood up and got out of the car.

Finally, he left one sentence.

"If you lose this time, it will be good if you win next time."

Hearing this, everyone in Dongzhong's eyes turned slightly red for no reason.

…………

Eastern University.

After stretching, Ueno looked carefully at the teacher who was giving a lecture, and found that the teacher had not noticed that he had secretly slept.

Kamiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but yawned loudly subconsciously.

Five days have passed since the last friendly match against Tonghuang.

The summer split is next week, less than a week away.

And during these five days.

Everyone on the Dongda basketball team seemed to have changed.

Originally, I usually arrived at the basketball court around seven o'clock, but since I lost to Tong Huang.

It's less than six o'clock in the morning, and the big lights of Dongda's basketball court are on.

And Ueno has also been training his physical fitness crazily these days.

I train with the basketball team during the day and practice on my own at night.

So he dozed off as soon as class time came. Fortunately, his grades were pretty good.

Otherwise, I would probably have to fail a lot of subjects.

As for the rest of the basketball team, except for Miya Ryoichi and Nobubu, the results of everyone else are hovering between qualified and unqualified.

Chapter 28 The Weekend

Eastern University basketball court.

When Ueno brought Kuratani Sora and Osaka to the basketball court, Miya Ryoichi and the others had already arrived.

When he saw Ueno and the others arriving, Gong Liang raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said hello with a smile.

"Ueno, you are here."

"senior."

"Senior, where is the coach?"

After looking around, he didn't find Coach Shinkawa. Looking at Ueno's curious eyes and thinking about the reason for the coach's absence, Gong Liang flashed a hint of nervousness.

"The coach went to draw lots."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being slightly stunned and fell silent.

lottery?

"Next week is the preliminary round of the summer season."

Looking at the silent crowd, Gong Liangyi explained with a wry smile.

For this summer split, it is different from the beginning. Now Miya Liangyi feels very stressed.

the other side.

After changing clothes, Ueno and the others joined in the training.

While moving his body, Ueno recalled the preliminary format of the Summer Split in his mind.

Summer basketball games.

It can be said to be the first game in the black basket.

It's just that in this competition, no one from the Age of Miracles seems to be participating.

As for the reason, it seems to be because of Akashi Seijuro.

Pressing his legs, a flash of thought flashed in Ueno's eyes.

The preliminary rounds of the summer split seem to start with the regional knockout rounds.

Thinking of this, Ueno couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Their school is located in Tokyo.

And those rising stars, King of Overlords, King of Universities, etc. are basically all in Tokyo.

It can be said that their preliminary round is the same as playing in the finals.

If you're lucky, you might be matched with another school.

Seeing Ueno and Sora Kuratani who were moving their bodies, Kyouichi suddenly came over and said with a smile.

"Ueno-kun, do you have time on the weekend?"

Hearing this, Ueno and Sora Kuratani couldn't help but glance at each other subconsciously, looking at the smiling Kyouichi with some vigilance.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

Seeing the somewhat wary looks on Ueno's and others' faces, Shangjing's face darkened for a moment and he said unhappily.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I just see that everyone is too tired recently and it's just a weekend break, so I want to organize everyone to go to a fun place together."

Hearing this, Kuratani Sora subconsciously refused and smiled a little apologetically at Kamikyoichi.

"Sorry, senior, I have to practice on the weekend!"
