Chapter 114 He is my darling

In early May, the sun was already very hot at ten o'clock.

At the request of Fujita Hiroshi and others, Nishimura Yitaka, a physical education teacher, readily agreed to be the referee for this friendly match.

5v5 naturally involves the whole game. Shiina Kiri was assigned the center position by several people because among the five players in Class C, he was the tallest.

Even if he is only 1.8 meters tall.

Compared with the regular league, this height is a bit short for a center, but as far as the class is concerned, it is still just right.

After all, Fujita and others are only a little over 1.7 meters tall. Even Hiroshi Fujita may not be 1.7 meters tall in Shiina Kiri's opinion.

Because he compared the monitor with Hiroshi Fujita, and he felt that the monitor was a bit higher...

However, Fujita Hiroshi himself insists that he is 1.72 meters tall, and Shiina Kiri is too lazy to challenge this.

The center of Class E is half a head taller than Shiina Kiri. He is about 1.9 meters tall and looks much stronger than Shiina Kiri. His name is Danno Yuryo. Shiina Kiri played against him once or twice when he was a freshman in high school.

All I can say is that I almost forgot the name.

Basketball is a sport that requires height and weight, there is no doubt about it.

But it was just for fun, and Shiina Kiri didn't intend to take it seriously.

When several people found Teacher Nishimura, the class had already been in class for nearly ten minutes. In order to avoid affecting the next class, the duration of this social match was set to thirty minutes.

Each half lasts fifteen minutes, with an intermission of ten minutes.

Teacher Nishimura is an impatient person. From the time he agreed to be the referee to the official start of the game, only two or three minutes passed.

He raised the ball above his head with both hands and threw it straight upwards. Kiri Shiina and Yuki Danno took off almost at the same time.

To Teacher Nishimura's surprise, it was Kiri Shiina who grabbed the ball instead of Yukio Danno, who was taller and stronger than him.

‘This boy has really good jumping ability.’ He couldn’t help but think to himself.

After Shiina Kiri got the ball, he threw it to point guard Hiroshi Fujita behind him and trotted to the opponent's court near the free throw line.

Not long after, Shiina Kiri received the first ball from Hiroshi. After receiving the ball, he subconsciously made a fadeaway jumper.

There was a "bang" sound, the board was broken.

Shiina Kiri was a little helpless. If it were before yesterday's extra points, he could say that he had an 80-90% hit rate on this ball, but now... the hit rate is zero.

Fortunately, Isamu Aoyama at position 4 grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Itoo who ran to the three-point line at a zero-degree angle.

As he caught the ball and jumped, the basketball hit the net.

Class c: class e scored 3:0.

There were chaotic cheers outside the stadium, including men and women, all students from three classes.

After that, Hiroshi Fujita fed Kiri Shiina the ball several times, but without exception, he missed all of them.

Shiina Kiri also felt a little embarrassed when she saw Fujita Hiroshi's look that looked like a resentful woman.

But there's nothing he can do, he really doesn't have any "touch" now.

Later, he learned the lesson and only grabbed rebounds and passed the ball, and no longer took the initiative to shoot.

As a result, his position as a center has lost its meaning, and it is more or less just filling the role.

Teacher Nishimura couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw his playing style. Sure enough, talent cannot represent everything.

He could see that Shiina Kiri's shooting and dribbling movements were very standard, but if he couldn't make the shot, it was as if he had drunk fake wine.

But if you don't score, you won't score. Because if you don't score, you just give up pitching. This kind of temperament is really not acceptable.

No matter what he does, he is most afraid of losing his energy. Shiina Kiri's behavior seems to him to be too petty.

When the game reached twelve minutes, the score between Class C and Class E had become 17:24.

Everyone on the field was sweating profusely and most of their clothes were wet, even Shiina Kiri.

too hot.

When his opponent was taking a free throw, he wiped the sweat from his face with his clothes, but suddenly he heard someone cheering him on.

He turned around and saw Aozora, who was wearing a high ponytail outside the court, making a shouting gesture with her hands and shouted loudly.

"Shiina-kun, come on!"

The group of women's "relatives and friends" beside her looked at each other in shock.

"Aozora-san, were you just cheering for the boy who didn't score a single goal?"

"Yes, Aozora-san, he...well, how should I put it?"

The girls around her spoke politely to each other.

"Actually, that classmate also grabbed a lot of rebounds..."

Some people even licked her hard, although Shiina Kiri did grab a lot of rebounds.

"Isn't Shiina-kun handsome?" Aozora turned to look at them.

"He is my darling!"

"!?"

Everyone seemed to have heard a thunderbolt from the blue, and they were all speechless.

However, Aozora ignored them and stood outside the venue and continued to shout loudly.

"Come on! Shiina-kun! I love you the most!"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

He looked around sadly, and at a glance he saw Gensei Yukari and Kobayakawa Kazuki sitting in the shade of a tree. She was holding a bottle of water and lowering her head.

Shiina Kiri looked at the supervisor, but saw that she just looked at him calmly, then turned to talk to Gensei Yuka.

In the stadium, Hiroshi Fujita looked at Shiina Kiri with an expression of envy and jealousy.

"Why is it that I have the most points but no one cheers me on? You damn boy Shiina! You can actually let Aozora-san come and cheer you on!!"

Shiina Kiri pondered for a moment and then said, "I remember Ito-san hit three three-pointers, right?"

Class C only has seventeen points so far, excluding Itoo's nine points...

Hiroshi Fujita choked. "Is this the point? Shouldn't the point be that I score more points than you?"

"Shiina, why are you such a loser now? You voted seven or eight times and none of them got in! You are not like this in your first year of high school. Are you pretending to be us on purpose?"

"No, I have agreed in advance to give the opponent a few balls at the beginning. Do you think I'm joking?"

Shiina Kiri waved her hands, looking a little embarrassed.

"I haven't played basketball properly in almost a year. Isn't it normal to be nervous?"

The good old Maeda Keiji smoothed things over. "Okay, okay, it's just a friendly match. Shiina-kun, you don't have to blame yourself."

Fujita Hiroshi was a little helpless. "Keiji, do you see that Shiina seems to blame himself a little? This guy is so thick-skinned."

"Hahaha." Shiina Wu smiled and patted his shoulder.

…

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides reached 19:27, with Class C trailing Class E by a full eight points.

In the last three minutes, the center of Class E suddenly stretched his foot towards his foothold when Shiina Kiri was grabbing a rebound. Fortunately, Shiina Kiri believed in his "subconscious mind" this time and stepped down with his left foot diagonally, at the cost of a stagger.

Escaped a sprained ankle.

He stood up and glanced at the opposing center Duan Yexiongliang, but saw that he didn't react at all, as if it was just an unintentional move.

Shiina Kiri frowned and didn't say much, but she remembered this person in her heart to avoid being tricked next time.

Intermission.

A few of them walked to the shade of a nearby tree, and as soon as they sat down, they saw Aozora walking over carrying a bag of ice water.

"Shiina-kun, here you go."

She took out a bottle of ice water and handed it to Shiina Kiri.

"Thank you, Aozora-san."

"What did you call me?"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

"Xiao Nai."

He glanced at the people around him. Except for Ito-o, the other three looked like they had seen a ghost.

"You...you..." Hiroshi Fujita stuttered.

"What happened to us?" Shiina Kiri unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

"Dear classmates, you have it too."

Aozora held the bag with both hands and handed them water one by one. Upon seeing this, Fujita Hiroshi stood up quickly, reached out and took out a bottle of ice water from the bag, looking a little inexplicably reserved.
