Chapter 432 A simple basketball match, but an undercurrent surges~
What Fujino said was "no chance", Raku Sakakihara didn't understand what was going on until the last physical education class in the afternoon.
Several people from the basketball club came over and saw that among the people who needed to accompany them for training were Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue, they said they were unwilling to train with them.
"Sakakibara-senpai...it's not that the senior doesn't want to help, but hey, how should I say this?"
Sakakihara looked at their faces and roughly understood what they were worried about.
Because of Tianhai's family, classmates in school subconsciously keep a distance from them.
"There's no need to be so taboo, Tianhai is nothing, and they don't know how to eat people."
After hearing this, Makino Yang shook his head, "No, no, it's easy to get injured when playing basketball. I'm afraid I might accidentally offend the two eldest ladies."
"Why do you think this will offend them? Isn't it a good opportunity to get to know each other? It will also be good for the family behind Makino-senpai, right?"
Makino-senpai’s father is the president of an electrical and mechanical company.
The Tianhai Group has a wide range of businesses and branches. If you say that there is no chance to contact it in Tokyo, Sakakibara Raku doesn't believe it.
Above, Makino-senpai knows Qijiu, which is definitely not a bad thing for him.
"What if I said that my dad just robbed a business of Tianhai Electrical and Mechanical last month?"
"."
Sakakihara Raku thinks there is nothing wrong with it, "It can only be said that the people in the subordinate companies are not doing things well. I can't blame others."
"And I accidentally offended the Tianhai family."
"."
Sakakihara Raku was silent now, "We can't blame our elders for what happened."
"It just doesn't work anyway."
After repeated dissuasion, the minister finally reluctantly agreed.
Of course, the actual situation is because Jiuliuli took the initiative to come over and say hello to everyone one by one.
When she came, she also brought a bottle of drink for everyone in the club.
Although it is a small favor, for teenage students, it is a great blessing to have a girl give them a bottle of water.
The minister could not resist the opinions of the members, and was unwilling to put aside Tianhai Jiuliuli's kindness in coming to say hello. Moreover, they could not refuse the beautiful girl's request at all, so in the end they could only agree.
"Will Raku-kun be on the stage?" Tianhai Jiureli blinked at Sakakihara Raku and asked curiously.
Before Sakakihara Raku could answer, Makino Yang replied enthusiastically from the side:
"That's for sure. Sakakibara is now considered the main player of our team. If we want to accompany him in practice, he is one of the most suitable candidates."
Not to mention the relationship between myself and Jiuliuli as boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
Hearing this, Sakakihara Raku looked at Jiuriuri in front of him. She had tied up her hair in a high ponytail, looking very delicate and energetic. He asked for no reason:
"Is this what you want to do, Liuli?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli blinked, not showing timidity in front of outsiders, but still a little regretful in his eyes, "Lejun, you won't be angry, right?"
Sakakibara shook his head, "I know Liuli how hard you have worked, but it's not me who has the final say on whether to reconcile or not."
The Seven Bright Moons in the Sky and the Sea are not far away, and you can definitely hear what he said.
But Qi Mingyue obviously doesn't want to think that he existed, and just treats him as air.
Tianhai Jiuliuli noticed this and seemed very embarrassed.
"look."
"Ahem. There's no need to say so much. Why don't we start the competition directly? Before we start, how about we all get to know each other formally?"
Makino Yang immediately smiled and replied: "No problem, I'll go and pull them over."
Five minutes later, the two teams stood together.
On the left are the male members of the basketball club.
On the right side, there are young girls who can all be said to be beautiful.
Just standing face to face with several beautiful girls, several members of the basketball club became very awkward in front of them.
'What is this?'
Suzu Sakakibara, who was wearing the No. 1 jersey vest, couldn't help but curl her lips subconsciously after seeing their expressions.
She doesn't doubt the basketball abilities of the boys in the basketball department.
She just felt that they were so embarrassed just standing in front of her, so how could they be embarrassed to show their strength in a competition later.
Don’t be soft-hearted and look down on her just because she’s a beautiful girl!
We have been practicing very hard under the sun every day for these days, okay!
While random thoughts emerged in Suzu Sakakihara's mind, she looked at her teammates.
——The snow of Tianhai is particularly serious.
——Chiteno Sakai, who is a bit timid.
——Tianhai Qimingyue, who had a poker face throughout the whole process.
——And the very enthusiastic Tianhai Jiuliuli.
There is nothing else to say. Tianhai Zhixue looks very serious, as if he is preparing for the battle.
Seeing that little expression, Sakakihara Suzu was a little moved.
Why is she so serious?
"Hello, I am the director of the basketball club, Makino Yang. I serve as the center in the team. Nice to meet you."
"Hello. Sakai Chitianno."
The self-introduction session was ordinary, and everyone just got to know each other’s names.
In fact, Jiuliuli and the others don't need to introduce themselves, as long as they are boys from Mingde Elementary School, they all know them.
And when it’s the last couple’s turn to introduce themselves, it’s a bit interesting.
——At least that’s what Suzu Sakakihara thinks.
She saw her brother and sister Qiyue standing face to face.
Both of them were looking at each other.
They all had no expression.
Their calm eyes revealed their dislike and disdain for each other.
The two faced each other.
Time passed slowly, and everyone's eyes focused on the two of them. They were still staring at each other.
"Who did I think it was? Why, you can't even introduce yourself?"
"Before asking others to introduce themselves, it is basic etiquette to introduce 'self' first."
"If someone still has his own self, there is no harm in doing this. But it is obvious that someone now is worse than a zombie exuding a putrid smell."
"If you can even deny your own emotional foundation, how can you talk about me being a walking zombie?"
"If you can't even complete what you promised, how can you say that you are not a walking zombie?"
"Are there any conflicts between these two people?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Makino Yang lowered his voice and asked in a low voice to the captain of the girls team, Tianhai Jiureli.
Tianhai Jiuliuli responded helplessly:
"Makino-san, don't worry too much. This situation has been going on for a long time."
"It looks like that. Just looking at this momentum, I wonder if Sakakibara will target Amami Nanamigetsu-san later. Uh, don't look at me like that, I'm just talking nonsense."
*
Even regardless of gender, there is a huge gap between the two teams.
On one side are the boys who have been immersed in basketball for several years.
On one side is a girl who has just started playing basketball.
The basketball club's team is still well-trained, but the girls' team can only be described as chicks who have just debuted.
Although the boys were already very aggressive, they still had a huge score difference.
Two quarters, that is, the entire first half, led to a total of 33 points.
A full thirty-three points!
When the minister saw this situation, he became very anxious. He kept secretly shouting to his teammates, "Be gentle, be gentle!"
Intermission.
Although this is not an official open competition.
But there was a gap of more than 30 points in one half, and anyone who saw it would be in a bad mood.
In other words, Tianhai Jiuliuli was still optimistic, comforting, and encouraging everyone.
Raku Sakakihara held the basketball and watched them gathering together to discuss strategies from a distance, feeling that they were pure novices now.
The point guard in July is barely adequate and has an overall view, but his physical strength is too low and he has more ambition than strength.
Yuki is a shooting guard, but to be honest, his shooting percentage is not that good and he needs to practice more.
Chiteno Sakai plays really well. She is a bit weak in personality, but she makes decisive decisions on the court.
Liuli.
Liuli needs no introduction.
If they hadn't been restricting Liuli's performance throughout the game, and they all tried their best to pass the ball to Liuli, there really wouldn't be such a big score gap.
Well, let’s look at it in general.
The thirty-three-point gap was definitely a bit cold in the first half, but it still couldn't extinguish their confidence in participating in the game.
Fujino Yoshiyuki, sweating a little, brought a bottle of drink that Ruri had just given him, and came to sit down next to Sakakibara Raku.
He talked about the football match just now, and he couldn't help but complained in a low voice:
"Sakakihara, you really don't let yourself go at all."
"That's not necessary." Sakakihara shook his head.
"A person as powerful as Jiu Liuli has been restricted to death by you. He can't get past you, and every time he shoots, you have to buckle him."
"With their strength, they may have a strategy to pass the ball to Liuli desperately. Since I can think of it, why can't their opponents think of it? It's good to take advantage of this, but if they are targeted, they will lose miserably.
"
"That's what I say, but I feel that not many girls can restrain Jiuri. I feel like you are targeting them, Sakakihara."
Sakakihara smiled, but did not deny it:
"This is called necessary growth. They want to win the championship among girls, and they have to train in such a short period of just over a month. How can they not put some pressure on them? If they can't bear it, it can only mean that they are not suitable.
"
Fujino Yoshiyuki then thought about it carefully, "That's right, after all, they have only just started playing basketball. But tell me the truth, did you have a fight with Nanami Mingyue, and that's why you targeted her so deliberately?"
"This is nonsense."
Sakakibara looked at the time, put down the half-drunk drink in his hand, and suddenly stood up.
"The break is about to end. Let's get ready to continue the second half and see if there are any changes in their policy, or if they need to play a few more rounds to wake up."
"OK."
Fujino Yoshiyuki looked at the back of Raku Sakakibara walking forward, patted his butt and sat up.
The second round is the second half.
Sure enough, their team relaxed their strategy a little, and Liuli gave more and more scoring opportunities to Zhixue.
Coupled with the fact that the pressure from other basketball club members was not as strong as Raku Sakakibara's, the score narrowed the gap slightly.
Even if it is still a drop in the bucket.
However, this is just a practice match, and the score is not particularly important.
The important thing is that every time Zhixue scores a goal, Liuli and the others will praise her, which inadvertently put a smile on her face.
The same goes for other people after scoring, and they even high-five each other with joy.
Sakakihara Raku saw it.
I thought to myself, this is the fun in suffering, right?
Even if the score is insurmountable, you will still be happy because of a goal scored.
After thinking about it for a while, Sakakihara shook his head decisively.
He felt that maybe he was thinking too much. Maybe they would just shoot a ball in the second half and treat it as a target for training?
This is not a formal game, it's not that heavy.
However, no matter what, the smile on the face of Tianhai Zhixue, who made the goal while being chased and intercepted, is indeed the result of sweat and hard work.

"Really, I don't know how to give in to us."
After school, in the locker room.
Suzu Sakakihara dissatisfiedly took off her sweatshirt and No. 1 jersey back clip. She turned over her arm and stared at the bruise on it where her brother had hit her with a ball.
"Suzuki-chan, are you okay?" Chitano Sakai asked with concern after seeing it.
"How can it be okay?" Sakakihara Suzu pouted and gently touched the black and blue lump on her arm, "It hurts so much, okay?"
"let me see."
"Well, it hurts all the time."
Tianhai Jiuliuli took a closer look and said seriously, "Go back and apply ointment. It's just a slight bruise. Lejun probably didn't do it on purpose."
"I think he did it on purpose! Not only against me, but also against sister Liuli, you and yuki! Especially yuki! I feel like I'm almost overwhelmed by him, but sister Qiyue didn't take much aim at him."
Suzu Sakakibara intentionally approached Amami Nanamigetsu who had just taken off her sweatshirt, hugged her thin white arms, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Sister Qiyue, my brother is the only one who didn't target you! Tell me, is it because he still cares about his feelings and feels sorry for you, so he deliberately treats you well?"
"Ling, bell, come here quickly"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What's wrong?"
Amami Nana Mingzuki didn't respond, but Amami Kuruuri was so anxious that she pulled Sakakibara Suzu to the corner of the locker room. The smile on Sakakibara Suzu's face has not disappeared yet.
In Tianhai Jiuliuli's view, although Suzu-chan is sincere, her smile and what she is saying are indeed heartless.
"Why did Sister Liuli drag me away?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he couldn't explain what he said. He just tried his best to squeeze out a smile:
"Suzuki-chan, please stop talking for now."
"Why?"
".What you said will make Qiyue look more and more like—"
"No need."
Tianhai Qi Mingyue's plain voice interrupted the exchange between the two. She put on her school uniform and tied a bow on her collar.
His expression didn't change at all.
The action is decisive and quick.
"He did this to make me feel comfortable. I don't need or need any special attention from this guy."
After Tianhai Qimingyue said these words, she put on her clothes, picked up her schoolbag, and walked out of the locker room resolutely.
"Sister July."
Although Tianhai Zhixue didn't quite understand it, she still saw that the figure of Qi Mingyue leaving alone had some different meanings, and wanted to call her to stop her.
"fine."
Tianhai Jiululi put her hand on Tianhai Zhixue's shoulder, pulled her in, and said comfortingly, "It's just that Qi Qi likes to be independent these days. Going to see her too much will disturb her."
"Did sister Qiyue go back to the hotel?" Tianhai Zhixue turned around and asked.
"Um."
Tianhai Zhixue was still looking at the place where Tianhai Qimingyue disappeared, and murmured: "I have always wanted to talk to Sister Qiyue alone."
"There will be opportunities."
Amami Kuruuri saw the big white flower on the back of Amami Noyuki's head, and knew that it was made by Sakakibara Raku himself to cover her ugliness.
She doesn't quite understand what kind of mentality she is in right now.
I just feel that Sakakibara Raku can take care of the people he also wants to take care of, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
At least, Zhixue really likes her sister, and she wants her to be happy, right?
Of course, she didn't ignore Qi Qi's position.
It's only natural that she should be angry.
Sakakihara Suzu was chatting with Sakai Chitianno for a while, and suddenly asked this side:
"By the way, sister Liuli. How will you arrange your future practice?"
"From now on," Tianhai Jiuliuli carefully recalled the matters discussed this afternoon, "there will be competitions every two days, and we will arrange practice on our own the rest of the time."
"Two days apart? That's not bad, that's not bad," Sakakihara Suzu breathed a sigh of relief, "If I had to fight with that guy every day, he could beat me to death."
"He feels sorry for you, A-Ling."
Tianhai Jiuliuli turned back to Tianhai Zhixue and said:
"I will practice every day from now on, and there will be many opportunities for contact. Zhixue wants to talk to Qiyue alone, how about I help arrange the arrangements?"
".Then, thank you Sister Liuli."
"You're welcome."
Zhixue has long wanted to communicate with Qiyue alone.
Tianhai Jiuliuli is also willing to help her. After all, the conflict between Qiyue and Lejun is largely due to Zhixue. Properly resolving the current relationship between Zhixue and Qiyue can also help the two of them.
Nothing else, just today’s Lejun
Tianhai Jiuliuli always feels like he is intentionally motivating everyone to move forward.
why is that?
And should I say that I don’t like July or am I deliberately neglecting him?
