Chapter 4: Team Training Match
The presence of so many geniuses in a team will always lead to conflicts and frictions, even for Akashi Seijuro and Mitsui Daichi who are usually smiling in front of everyone. This is the mutual attraction and mutual appreciation between the geniuses. However, it was not these two people who first created the conflict.
At this time, on the training court of the Teiko basketball team, two figures were playing one-on-one. One of the boys with blue hair and blue eyes was using his special basketball skills to tease the other boy with gray hair and black eyes. No matter how the blue-haired boy attacks, the basketball will enter the basket at a special angle and in a special way.
This is a style of play that is completely a fusion of the casual style of street ball, and the gray-haired boy cannot completely defend against the opponent's attack even if he tries his best. In his opinion, these actions of the opponent are a provocation and a clear view of himself. After getting the ball back, he looked at the boy in front of him who was acting casually and said, "Be serious!"
After saying that, he dribbled the ball and attacked the opponent, but the boy in front of him just yawned, and then instantly intercepted the basketball in his hand, and even played with it in his hand and said: "Shogo, I really took it very seriously, but you just couldn't score."
Haizaki Shogo was looking at Aomine Daiki in front of him with an angry face, his chest rising and falling like a barrel of explosives that could explode at any time. On another court, Mitsui Daichi and Midorima Shintaro were practicing pitching seriously, and they were also shooting baskets and talking to each other.
"Two fools!"
"That's true, but Shintaro, please keep your voice down!"
"Why should we keep our voices down? We are just two hot-blooded idiots. Basketball is just like life. We should do our best and leave the rest to fate."
As he spoke, Midorima Shintaro shot another hollow three-pointer that didn't touch the rim, and Mitsui Daichi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and at the same time, he quickly threw the basketball in his hand. Similarly, the basketball also went into the net without touching the rim.
"As expected, Shintaro, your ability is really not to be underestimated. That's a lot of empty three-pointers!"
When Midorima Shintaro heard this, he held the basketball in his hand, raised his hand to push up his glasses, looked at Mitsui Daichi beside him, and said, "Mitsui, are you kidding me?" But Mitsui Daichi just continued to shoot the ball, then smiled at him and said, "Okay, you continue, I'll take a break and watch them play one-on-one."
After saying that, Mitsui Daichi threw the last ball in his hand, and the ball once again went into the basket with a beautiful arc. Then Mitsui Daichi left the training court and came to Akashi Seijuro and Shion Atsushi who were watching the one-on-one duel between Aomine Daiki and Haizaki Shogo.
At this time, Shion Atsushi was eating the snacks in his hand, looking at the two people on the basketball court with a bored face. When he saw Mitsui Daichi coming over, he stretched out the snacks in his hand and gestured to Mitsui Daichi: "Daichi, do you want to eat some?" Mitsui Daichi pushed his hand back and said to him: "Atsushi, eat it yourself!"
Seeing that Mitsui Daichi didn't want his snacks, Shion Atsushi took the snacks back at an extremely fast speed and looked at Mitsui Daichi cautiously and said, "Daichi, it's you who don't want them!" Mitsui Daichi was amused by his actions and nodded at him.
Then, Mitsui Daichi asked Akashi Seijuro who was recording something beside him, "Akashi, how did the duel between the two of them go?" Akashi, who was holding a pen and a notebook, looked at the two people who were playing the last ball on the court and said to Mitsui Daichi beside him, "Aomine-kun has now defeated Haizaki-kun 199 times. If he wins again this time, it will be 200 times."
Hearing this, Mitsui Daichi's eyes rolled around, then he put his hands to his mouth to make a trumpet shape and said to the two people on the field: "Oi, if you can beat Shogo this time, I will pay for your entertainment expenses for the whole year!" And those who heard his words looked at him one after another.
Even Aomine Daiki, who was dribbling the ball on the court, said to Mitsui Daichi with a frown on his face: "Daichi, what about me? If I win this time, it will mean I have won 200 times. What about me?" Mitsui Daichi smiled and made a gesture to Aomine Daiki, and then Aomine Daiki's whole appearance changed.
Haizaki Shogo, who originally wanted to take the ball from Aomine Daiki's hand when he was distracted, suddenly found that the ball, which was so close to him, suddenly returned to Aomine Daiki at a very strange angle, and then he was passed by Aomine Daiki at an astonishing speed.
Akashi Seijuro, who was recording information on the sidelines, watched this scene and kept writing something in his notebook. He even said to Mitsui Daichi at the end: "Mitsui-kun, what do you mean by what you said to Aomine-kun just now?" But at this time, Mitsui Daichi was watching the wonderful offense and defense of the two people on the court seriously and did not answer Akashi's words.
Seeing that Mitsui Daichi did not answer him, Akashi Seijuro kept writing and drawing something on the notebook and even drew a question mark in the column of Aomine Daiki's weaknesses, but then he thought about it and crossed out the question mark, put the question mark on hobbies, and then closed the notebook.
Just as he closed the notebook, the situation on the court changed. After Aomine Daiki blocked Haizaki Shogo's attack again, the offensive right returned to Aomine Daiki. He dribbled the ball very seriously, looking seriously at Haizaki Shogo who was in a defensive posture in front of him.
Then he was heard saying to Haizaki Shogo, "Shogo, you can't defend against me!" Haizaki Shogo did not answer after hearing his words but just watched Aomine Daiki's movements seriously. However, Aomine Daiki at this moment was like a cheetah, looking at his prey with cold eyes.

So, Aomine Daiki started to move, and his speed was so fast that the people watching the game around could not see him clearly, but Haizaki Shogo still caught up with Aomine Daiki. Midorima Shintaro, who came over to rest after throwing the ball, looked at Aomine Daiki on the court and frowned slightly.
Akashi Seijuro seemed to have discovered something. He reopened the notebook in his hand and scribbled on it again. It was unknown what he was recording.
Finally, just when Haizaki Shogo thought he could defend against Aomine Daiki, Aomine Daiki who was already in the air did a move that shocked everyone. As his body fell, Aomine Daiki retracted the hand that had stretched out into the air holding the ball, then put the ball behind him and tossed it lightly.
Then the ball passed Haizaki Shogo's block at a magical angle, lightly touched the backboard and bounced into the basket. Even Haizaki Shogo, who thought he was about to block the shot successfully in the air, was hit by the ball and fell to the ground, staring at the ball in a daze.
Everyone standing outside the court began to exclaim, even Akashi Seijuro and Midorima Shintaro's expressions became serious, while Mitsui Daichi on the side was still spinning the basketball on his waist, as if he was not surprised by the actions on the court. Aomine Daiki smiled with his fangs showing when he saw his goal, "Yeah! I won! Wuhu!"
As he said that, he left Haizaki Shogo who was still standing there and ran towards Mitsui Daichi, even shouting to him while running: "Daichi! Remember to give me the things you promised!" Mitsui Daichi, who was spinning the ball, smiled and nodded at him. At this time, Akashi Seijuro on the side seemed to have thought of something and also came to Mitsui Daichi.
"Mitsui-kun, are you interested in a one-on-one duel with me?"
The declaration of war from Akashi surprised everyone present. You know, usually Akashi is the one who plans and strategizes in front of them, and his playing style on the field is mainly organization. Now he suddenly declares a duel with people. Even Nijimura Shuzo who is training at the same time is attracted by the two of them.
He came up to the two of them and said, "If you are going to have a one-on-one duel, then let me be the referee!" Mitsui Daichi stopped spinning the basketball in his hand, looked at Akashi who was looking at him seriously, and smiled at him, "Then please give me your guidance, Akashi!" Then he threw the ball in his hand to Aomine and took off his training suit.
The two people standing on the field looked at each other silently. Nijimura Shuzo stood in the middle of the two and said to them: "Heads or tails? The winner attacks first!" But Akashi Seijuro said decisively: "No need, Captain, just start directly. The first attack will be left to Mitsui-kun." And Mitsui Daichi nodded indifferently.
When the game started, Akashi Seijuro passed the ball to Mitsui Daichi. As soon as he took a defensive stance, Mitsui Daichi in front of him jumped up and shot, without even leaving Akashi any time. The basketball went straight into the basket with a graceful arc. Midorima Shintaro frowned when he saw Mitsui Daichi's shooting action.
Aomine Daiki on the side cheered when he saw Mitsui Daichi score a goal, and Akashi on the field saw Mitsui Daichi score a goal, turned his head to look at Mitsui Daichi and said, "It's a beautiful posture, but I remember that Mitsui-kun didn't do this posture before, right?" Akashi's doubts were indeed correct.
At first, Mitsui Daichi's shooting action was just a simulation of Mitsui Hisashi's shooting, but since he unlocked Mitsui Hisashi's information, the shooting force method, hand movements, jumping movements, etc. have all been corrected by the system. Now Mitsui Daichi's shooting posture is exactly the same as Mitsui Hisashi's shooting posture.
After hearing what Akashi said, Mitsui Daichi did not answer. He just looked at Akashi with a smile and said, "It's 1:0. Akashi, don't be absent-minded." Akashi also became serious. After throwing the ball to Mitsui Daichi, he directly defended him, which directly blocked the possibility of Mitsui Daichi catching the ball and shooting.
But how could Mitsui Daichi, who had already acquired Mitsui Hisashi's low-level abilities, be easily stopped? He had been doing basic training since he was a child, so he directly posed a standard three-threat posture. Although he had no teammates now, because of the threat of shooting, his breakthrough was also threatening.
This made Akashi, who was originally close to Mitsui Daichi, take a small step back to prevent himself from being broken through. Looking at the two people in a stalemate on the sidelines, Aomine Daiki scratched his head and said, "What are Daichi and Akashi doing? Why haven't they started yet?" But Midorima Shintaro beside him was looking at the two people on the field with a serious face.
Unlike Aomine Daiki who is still rough, Midorima Shintaro can easily see the situation on the court. Although Akashi left space for Mitsui Daichi to shoot, this space is not very large and can also prevent Mitsui Daichi from breaking through.
Just when everyone thought that Mitsui Daichi had no way to continue attacking, Akashi on the field felt a little depressed because of Mitsui Daichi's actions, because Mitsui Daichi's triple threat action was perfect, without even a single flaw revealed, and then Mitsui Daichi finally moved.
He dribbled the ball and rushed towards Akashi's left side. Just when Akashi was about to step back to block him, Mitsui Daichi followed with a step back and returned to his original position, then shot a three-pointer, and the basketball went straight into the basket in a perfect arc.
Akashi, who was retreating to defend, looked at Mitsui's actions and his expression became serious. You know, this move that Mitsui Daichi just used was never seen before. When they were training together before, Mitsui Daichi was more likely to use normal catch-and-shoot moves, jump shots after breakthroughs, and layups after turning around.
Such a large step back that is difficult to defend has never been used by Mitsui Daichi before. Akashi took the basketball again and looked at Mitsui Daichi in front of him and said, "I didn't expect Mitsui-kun to hold back during training." But Mitsui Daichi still didn't say anything. He just thought that there was nothing wrong with his action just now. You know, he still has weight on his legs, waist and hands.
The attack started again, and this time Akashi still maintained his original defensive posture, but his eyes were extremely serious, and he even kept analyzing in his mind how Mitsui Daichi would attack this time. Mitsui Daichi took the ball and once again struck the familiar triple threat posture.
Mitsui Daichi raised his hand and made a shooting motion, causing Akashi to come close to him. However, this was just a fake move. When Mitsui Daichi saw Akashi coming close to him, he turned sideways to the other side and made another open shot. This time, Akashi didn't even have a chance to catch up.
The basketball once again went into the net with a perfect arc, but after this shot, Akashi's expression became cold. If someone could see Akashi's expression at this moment, they would definitely be scared.
After another serve, after Mitsui Daichi received the ball, before he could even make the three threat moves, Akashi started pressing directly. But just when Mitsui Daichi thought he could break through, a hand suddenly appeared on his breakthrough route, and Akashi directly took the ball from Mitsui Daichi's hand. This time, Akashi's defense was flawless.
