Chapter 24, Chapter Return
Can a single person beat a team?Before today, Seirin would never have believed it, but now, as the score gap gradually disparities, hope has become increasingly slim.
Vulcan fights desperately, but Qingfeng can always touch the ball one step ahead of him, as if playing a game, throwing the ball within his reach again and again, and then looks at the frightened and angry expression on Vulcan's face, showing a sarcastic smile.
Qingfeng stretched out his right hand, as if kindly trying to help Vulcan up, but Vulcan didn't appreciate it, and stood up by himself.When walking back, I heard Qingfeng say, "Your leg, it's not good."
Vulcan's heart tightened, had he discovered it? He had obviously been very careful to cover it up...Not far away, Heizi cast a concerned look, which made Vulcan's heart feel like a needle prick.
"Seirin's substitution!" Kagami turned to look at the coach on the sidelines, Reiko was sullen, and beckoned him to come over.
He hurried forward to plead, "Coach, the bandage on my leg is fine, please let me continue the game!"
"Mr. Vulcan, you just put your weight on the other leg to avoid hurting your leg, right? Now your legs can't bear it anymore. The rest of this game, and the next two round-robin games... You can't get on any more."
"What—coach, I can do it!"
"Okay, change!"
Before Vulcan left the field, he looked back at Heizi for the last time. His shadow was also staring at him. The distress, comfort, and deep reluctance in those eyes were too heavy, so heavy that he couldn't look directly at him. .
If he lost on the field until the last second, he has nothing to say.However, due to a leg injury, he withdrew halfway. Such an ending is really unacceptable to Vulcan.Unwillingness, self-blame, and pain ate away at his heart bit by bit, as if a flame was burning.
On the court, Aomine intercepted Kuroko's pass with ease, "The outcome is decided, it's faster than I imagined—your stamina is exhausted, 'sight guidance' fails, Seirin and others can't catch yours Passing the ball, your 'light' is not around... You are worse than the most mediocre player now. I won, Zhe."
"It's not over yet. If I don't fight until the last moment, I won't give up. 'Light' and 'Shadow' will never be separated, nor can they be separated. Even if Lord Vulcan is not on the field at this moment, I will join him For my part, I will fight even harder, even if I use up all my strength, I will never admit defeat!"
This is the first time Aomine has seen such a strong and emotionally exposed Kuroko, there seems to be something about him that is different from the "Phantom Sixth Man" in the Teiguang era.Is it because of the new 'light' that the shadow itself is affected?
In Qingfeng's eyes, there is no longer any place for the weak, but facing the young man who lost to him by a few points and still has a firm gaze, the word "weak" came to his lips, and he couldn't say it.
The rest of Tonghuang's team members were also surprised to find that not only Heizi, but also the entire Seirin team had not been defeated, and their morale was still as high as at the beginning, and their physical exhaustion did not drag down their enthusiasm. Able to go all out and face powerful enemies without fear.
The score was finally locked at 55:112, which was also the worst defeat that Seirin's first-year team has suffered since joining the team.
After the game, Vulcan rarely waited for Heizi, and left alone.In the last two games, he watched from the bench all the time, and Heizi seemed to be a different person. He was like a wandering ghost on the court, and he no longer had the kind of wonderful pass that made the opponent unpredictable.
After losing all three rounds, Seirin finally missed the national competition.Daily training will continue, but it will be difficult to return to the high-spirited state before the game in a short period of time; what's more, there seems to be a gap between their ace combinations.
Heizi discovered that Lord Vulcan has been avoiding him recently.I stopped participating in club activities, and didn't even talk much in the classroom. My whole person seemed to have changed back to the way I was when I first entered the club, with an expression of "don't get close to strangers" on my face.
The match with Tonghuang was the knot in his heart, and it was also the knot of Lord Vulcan.It's not just about winning or losing, but in the face of absolute power, the belief that has been insisted on seems to be vulnerable. This feeling is more difficult than ever before.
He missed Lord Vulcan terribly.I miss that Hushen Lord who loves to laugh, can be silly, and has a quick temper, but he is so reassuring, as long as he stands in front of me, I will not be afraid of anything.
That was his light, his sun.Once you get used to such a bright light, you can no longer bear the loss.Where is that Vulcan-lord now?
Vulcan followed the coach's instructions and went to the hospital for a review of his leg injury.The doctor said that the current body can't bear the impact injury in the competition. In the future, it is necessary to exercise the muscles and the flexibility of the body, but before that, it is necessary to rest for two weeks.
He went downstairs with the checklist, and many images flashed in his mind.Two weeks is neither too long nor too short, and it can just be used as an excuse to let myself be alone and to sort out the past and the future.
After leaving the outpatient building, passing through a small garden, Vulcan accidentally ran into a person standing there with a smile on his face. Was it a coincidence or——
"Ah, it's Vulcan, long time no see."
"Senior Muji." Vulcan stepped forward, "Are you feeling better?"
"Well, he has recovered and will be discharged from the hospital soon." Muji was wearing a hospital gown and doing stretching exercises vigorously. "Finally, I can play with everyone again. I look forward to it when I think about it."
Vulcan cheered up and said, "That's great, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital."
Muji asked, "Why, are you not in a high mood?"
Vulcan lowered his head, "That... I failed the national competition challenge, I'm sorry."
"So you're worrying about this matter. Reiko has already told me. Speaking of which, how is your health?"
"I'm fine. The doctor said that I should rest for two weeks."
"Oh, then it's nice that we can both come back at about the same time."
Vulcan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior Muji, can I ask you a question?"
"Ok?"
"The coach once said that the style of 'team as one' was established at the beginning of the establishment of the Seirin basketball club. In other words, it is the style of play that you admire, senior."
"Ah, Reiko told you all about this."
"Yes. For a long time, all of us, me, and Heizi have taken this as the cornerstone of our progress. But now that I think about it, the cooperation of the team alone is not enough."
Muji still had a gentle and generous smile on his face, "So, Vulcan, what do you think?"
Although he has only met the senior in front of him once, Vulcan inexplicably feels that he is like a reliable brother who makes people close.Unknowingly, he confided his heart in front of Muji, "It was Heizi who saved me before, so I became more and more dependent on him. I think it's better to separate for a while, he is the kind who will never stand still. The previous person, but this time, I want to rely on my own ability to become stronger."
"Very good, isn't this a very thorough thought." Muji rubbed Vulcan's head happily, "However, you still need to communicate with your partner carefully, don't you?"
"……Yes."
Vulcan went to school the next day, and originally wanted to find a chance to talk to Heizi in the morning, but seeing that there were schoolbags and stationery in the back seat, he didn't know where he went.In the past few days, I deliberately alienated the other party, and my heart was deeply tormented.Heizi also felt uncomfortable after losing. I should have faced this feeling with him.Heizi must be very disappointed in himself now.
When going out for morning exercises, Vulcan put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, pondering in his mind, and occasionally, send him a message on his own initiative.
When he was organizing sentences in his mind, he suddenly heard a voice speaking through a loudspeaker from the roof of the nearby teaching building, "Good morning."
Vulcan was startled, it was Heizi!He hurriedly followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw Heizi standing alone on the roof, holding a tweeter, and continued to shout, "I am Heizi Tetsuya from Class B of the first grade."
He heard Jiang Qi screaming in the team of Class D next to him, "No way! That's—" Vulcan quickly slipped past the end of the team, and asked quietly, "Ah Jiang, what is that guy Heizi doing?"
Jiang Qi looked at him with a pale face, "Vulcan, you joined the team late, so you don't know the tradition of the basketball club: after losing a game, you have to confess your love to the person you like on the roof—□□!"
