Chapter 25: Before the Game
In the morning, Lingnan High School gymnasium.
Hikoichi was the first to arrive, and he was overly excited.
When you open the door of the gymnasium, it is empty, and it looks particularly comfortable when you wipe the shiny wooden floor.
Come to the locker room, change clothes and shoes to get ready to warm up... Well?! What about my basketball shoes?
Hiko, who was in a daze all morning, woke up in an instant!
I'll go, how to play the game without basketball shoes! Hikoichi was in a hurry and looked up at the bell in the locker room. At half past seven, it should be too late to come back home!
"Bang!" Closing the door of the locker room, Hikoichi rushed out of the locker room.
"Huh?! Captain, early! Hikoichi rushed to the door of the gymnasium, and Yuju just walked inside.
"Huh?? Early..."Yuju looked at the fiery Hikochi, inexplicable.
"How did you come to so... Uh..."Before Yu Zhu finished speaking, Hikoichi had already run away.
"I forgot my sneakers, I'll go home!" Hikoichi didn't care what Yuzumi was asking, explained loudly, waved his hand, and ran forward without looking back.
"......" Yuzhu was speechless.
At the school gate, today is the weekend, there is no one, Hikoichi turned right and ran in the direction of home.
Ran for a few minutes.
"Didi!" A small electric donkey came from the opposite side, and the cyclist was wearing a helmet and honking his horn at Hikoichi.
What the heck? The road is so wide, why honk? No matter, you have to hurry! Hikoichi continued to run, passing by the little electric donkey.
But this battery car is a little familiar...
"Didi!" The horn sounded again, this time from behind Hikoichi.
Hikoi didn't care, keep running!
"Huh?!" Hikochi stopped, he was forced to stop!
Because the battery car that was walking in the opposite direction with Hikochi just now caught up with him from behind him and stopped directly in front of Hikoichi.
"What are you doing... Well? Sister?! Hikoichi pointed at that person, about to ask what was going on, and suddenly found this car, this figure, this is not Aida Yayoi!
Sure enough, the person in the car took off the helmet, and it was Yayoi Aida.
"Stinky boy, I don't even recognize it, do you?" Yayoi said politely.
"Sister! You're just in time, quick! Lend me the car. "It's just in time, it's so much easier to ride! Hikochi reached straight out and grabbed the handlebars.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!" Yayoi didn't let him, "What do you want a car for?" “
"I forgot my basketball shoes! Oops, stop being verbose! Get me the car home and get my shoes! "Hikoichi died in a hurry.
"Humph! Look at how anxious you are, remember to bring all your things next time, don't lose them! Seeing that Hikoichi was in such a hurry, Yayoi didn't tease him anymore, "Oh, my mother found out that you didn't bring it, so I brought it to you!" “
Yayoi gestured to a bag hanging from the front of the car.
Hikoichi hurriedly took down the bag and opened it, and sure enough, it was the new pair of Asics basketball shoes that he went to buy with Yayoi last time.
"Whew..."Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, his hanging heart finally let go, and his mood improved, "Ah, I was really anxious just now!" Haha, thank you, sis! “
"Don't forget next time, it's a coincidence today, I'm going to come over to watch the game, and I'm going out behind you. Otherwise, depending on how you play, do you still have the strength to play after running back and forth? "Yayoi taught her younger brother.
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, sister! "I'm in a good mood, help bring the sneakers, and say anything.
"Come on, go back to the gym, the game will start in a moment!" Yayoi motioned for Hikoichi to get into the car.
"Hmm!"
Yayoi carried Hikochi to the gymnasium.
Outside the gymnasium, Yayoi's car had just stopped.
"Hikoichi?! You and this big sister?! Suddenly, there was an exclamation.
“?!“ Who? It was too loud and attracted a large area of eyes around the garage.
Hikoichi looked back and saw that it was Hideko, and he pointed at the Aita sisters and brothers in surprise, as if he had found something amazing!
Embarrassed, I had to explain for a long time. Hikochi is helpless.
"Big sister?!" Yayoi's focus is different from Hikoichi's, "What do you mean by eldest sister?!" Am I that old!! “
It's going to run wild!
It turned out that Yayoi came to see Sendo play today, and he dressed up specially. Short hair with a blow-styled style, crimson lipstick, a pair of large round earrings, and the most popular striped shirt with high-waisted wide-leg jeans, it does look more mature.
"Sister!" Hikoichi hurriedly stopped Yayoi, but he couldn't let her really break out, otherwise it would be a big deal.
"Hideko! This is my sister, my own sister, who has just started working and is a sports magazine editor. Not much bigger than us. “
Hideko also realized that she was making a little fuss, "Uh, Miss Aida, I'm really sorry, just now I... Ahem..."
"Sister, this is the manager of our basketball team, Hideko, she is also a big fan of Sendo." Hikoichi introduced Yayoi again.
"Hmph, Xiandao is so handsome, it is inevitable that there will be many little girls who like it." It means that these girls don't know basketball, just look at their faces.
Hideko was still a little embarrassed and didn't reply.
The three of them entered the gymnasium together, the people of the Xiangyang team had already arrived, and the Lingnan team had also arrived, and Xiandao was not late today.
The two sides warmed up separately, and Hikoichi walked straight to the place where the Lingnan team warmed up, and Yayoi and Hideko were with her.
No one in the Shoyang team noticed Hikoichi.
In addition to the flower shape. He was practicing shooting, and when he saw Hikoichi walk in, he stopped his movements and stared at Hikoichi silently.
"Hanagata, what's wrong?" A soft voice rang out, interrupting Hanagata's thoughts.
Hanagata turned her head, "Fujima... It's nothing. “
is a handsome boy of about 1.8 meters, with a fair complexion, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and some people believe that he is a star.
This is the absolute core of the Shoyo team, Kenji Fujima.
"Who's that guy?" Fujima noticed Hanagata's gaze.
"Hmph... An arrogant boy, leave him alone. Hanagata said, no longer explaining, and continued to train.
Fujima looked at Hikoko again or twice, and didn't ask more.
Lingnan team's side.
"Hikochi, why are you here?" Coach Taoka looked at Hikoichi and asked. He didn't want Hikoichi to be as late as Sendo all the time, and the team's discipline would be gone.
"Coach, I arrived early, I found that I forgot to bring my sneakers, and I was about to go back to get them, and I happened to meet my sister to send them to me." Hikoichi smiled embarrassedly and said.
"Hello Coach Taoka, I'm Yayoi Aida from the editorial department of Basketball Weekly, it's a pleasure to meet you, my brother is taking care of you and causing you trouble." Yayoi took the initiative to come up and shake hands with Coach Taoka, not shy.
"Hello, where, where, Hikoichi is a good boy." Coach Taoka was a little embarrassed, such a down-and-out and generous little girl.
Good boy... Hikochi was embarrassed.
"Although I am resting today, I don't know if I can interview your players after the game, and if I have the opportunity, I will recommend to the editorial department to report on today's training match. This is my personal request, trouble! Yayoi continued.
Abuse of power for personal gain is definitely the use of power for personal gain! I definitely want to interview Xiandao! Hikochi complained silently.
"Yes, yes, no trouble!" This kind of good thing to promote the team, Taoka will refuse it so well.
Hikoichi changed into his sneakers and joined the warm-up team.
"Both sides are ready, and in a minute the game starts." After a while, the referee came to warn.
The race is about to begin!
