Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 332 The Basketball Game

As June approached, the sun at noon was already a little scorching, and most of the students who chose to eat bento in the atrium hid under the shade of the trees.

The outdoor sun was blazing, but the enthusiasm on and off the field in the stadium was no less than the scorching sun outside.

boom!boom!
After successfully snatching the basketball from a class A player, He Xi from class B charged forward with the ball, actively seeking a breakthrough, trying to change the situation where his side was nearly [-] points behind.

The defenders of class A had already surrounded him, and he quickly glanced at it, and another teammate had already broken through to the empty right wing.

Pretending to attack, he turned around with the ball, used a fake move to deceive the passive defense of several people in class A, and then immediately passed the ball to that teammate.

Snapped.

As soon as the outgoing basketball flew halfway, it was stopped by someone raising his hand, and Hexi was so angry that he died.

Isn't there two people staring at him, why did he let him out again!

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.

"Narase! Naruse!"

"..."

He Xi had no time to be distracted, but the sound of cheers continued to drill into his ears, making him upset.

boom!boom!
And Naruse, who got the ball, dribbled the ball in big strides and ran towards the basket of Class B.

Several players from class B were about to stop him, but he suddenly stopped and jumped on the spot.

The thrown basketball drew an arc in mid-air and made a precise hit, scoring another three points for Class A.

"Ahh! Naruse! Naruse——"

A group of girls on the sidelines were boiling again.

"I can't stand it..."

Seeing that his ears were itchy from being called out, Sen leaned to the side and bumped into Hai Xing who was standing on the other side. He turned his head and found that she was also clenching her fists, with uncontrollable excitement on her face.

"Haixing might as well shout out like those girls, her face is blushing."

"..."

She came back to her senses, realized her excitement, blushed even more, and quickly changed the subject.

"Which group of girls next to me are who? Why are they so excited?"

Mori sighed.

"Most of them are from Class A. They came to support the players of Class A or Naruse. The rest... seem to be from Class B."

"Eh……"

Hai Xing turned his head to look again, and only then noticed that the audience of this basketball game was several times that of other games, and the surroundings were already full of people.

"A lot of people."

"This is the first game of the second-year boys' basketball game. It already attracted a lot of people, not to mention he's here... Look carefully, all the girls crowded in front."

Starfish looked around the basketball court and found that it was indeed the case, and all three colors of ties could be seen.

Next to him came the conversation of several girls with strange faces.

"That No. 9 is Naruse who is number one in the second grade? It turns out that he is so good at sports."

"So handsome~"

"He scored a lot of goals by himself."

"Yeah yeah."

"I have no resistance to handsome boys who can play basketball."

"Ah, he seemed to be looking this way just now!"

"..."

Hai Xing turned his head to look at the field, and briefly exchanged glances with player No. 9.

He seemed to just glance at it casually, and quickly returned to the game, saying something to his teammates.

Around basketball, a new round of fierce competition began again.

boom!boom!
On the court, the sound of basketball hitting the floor and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the ground were mixed together. Off the court, there were endless cheers and inexplicable sighs, and the atmosphere in the stadium became more and more enthusiastic.

"Is Class A sure to win?" Hai Xing asked Takikawa Hikari who was standing next to Morimi.

She smiled, "Two or ten minutes ago, you could have said that."

"Is it really impossible to catch up?"

"If you stay like this, you have no chance."

Starfish smiled reassuringly.

The fierce competition on the field continued, and from a certain moment, the gap in the score suddenly began to narrow.

Class B scored one after another, while the players in Class A seemed to suddenly lose their motivation and spent most of their time defending, rarely attacking unless there was an excellent opportunity.

"What's the matter..." Hai Xing didn't understand basketball, and looked at Hikari Takikawa again.

And she frowned slightly, then shook her head quickly.

"It's okay, the people in Class A are starting to conserve their energy."

"It must be Naruse's idea." Morimi said, "Seeing that Class B couldn't catch up with the score, I started to relax. It's too contemptuous."

Takikawa smiled.

"Chunhai wants to win the championship... It makes my hands a little itchy."

"It's too late to regret now."

"There is no women's basketball event in the second grade competition."

Several people were chatting on the sidelines, and the game on the field finally came to an end.

Class B chased hard and caught up by more than ten points, but the gap of twenty points in the end couldn't be filled no matter what.

call out--

With a whistle, the game between the two teams came to an end.

Although Class A tended to be defensive in the last ten minutes, Class B's offense was equally exciting. At the end, the atmosphere on the court was still enthusiastic.

The players from both sides lined up on both sides, staggered and bumped their fists one by one.

"It's too early to start conserving your energy now." Kasai said, glaring at Naruse.

Maybe some spectators couldn't see the change of the situation on the field, but as the opponent who trained the most with Class A, he understood their intentions almost instantly.

Naruse smiled, and touched his fist, "What if we draw Class E in the next round."

"It's best to draw Class E... But, you have to win."

"Do your best."

After bumping fists with several players from Class B, Naruse and his teammates bowed slightly, receiving warm applause from outside the court.

The next round of competition was about to start, and the players left the field quickly. Naruse went straight to Shangzi and took the water cup from her hand.

Shangzi could clearly feel that countless eyes were coming towards her, but she didn't care, and moved closer.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's okay." Naruse drank his saliva, "It's just Class B."

"..."

Looking at the Class B players who were looking towards him, Shangzi smiled in a low voice and said nothing.

"The first half was really exciting." Hikaru Takikawa said beside him.

"I think the defense in the second half was also pretty good."

"Too bullying."

"The gap lies here."

"Who is against whom next?"

"Class C against your class."

Naruse took a few sips of water, then looked at Shangzi again, "Your competition is about to start."

"Yes."

Shangzi looked at the volleyball field on the other side. Most people in the gymnasium were focused on the basketball game just now, but in fact, the second round of the women's volleyball knockout round was also underway.

"The next round will be us."

"Come on." He held her hand and squeezed it, then looked at Hai Xing again, "You too."

"Um……"

His eyes drifted, and they met with Senjian again.

"You too...you don't seem to have a game?"

"..."

She squinted at him and ignored him.

"Shangzi, starfish—"

Just as they were talking, the women's volleyball team of Class C also began to assemble.

Shangzi held his hand, not wanting to let go, "We've passed."

"Go."

Naruse glanced back, there was still space for the high platform above, so he pointed.

"I'm up there cheering you on."

"uh-huh."

Separated from Naoko and Haixing, Naruse went up the stairs next to him, followed by Hikari Takikawa and Morimi, and stood by the guardrail of the high platform together.

Standing at this height, the games on the basketball and volleyball courts can be seen.

"There are still four games for the second graders, so Chunhai can rest for a while."

"Ah."

"Do you want to see all of them?"

"Just look at your class."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned aside, "Today's game was a little more intense than I imagined."

"After all, if you don't show your full strength today, you won't have a chance."

"Haha, that's right."

"The men's basketball team in your class doesn't have any hidden tactics?"

"Hey, can I still ask about this kind of thing?"

"Well, it seems that you don't know either."

"Who said that, last time I saw them training..."

Sen Jian bumped her arm suddenly, "He's trying to trick you."

"……what!"

Naruse was dissatisfied, "Which class are you in?"

She just snorted.

"Harukai is really getting more and more cunning." Takikawa Hikaru also bumped him with his arm.

On the volleyball court, after a few minutes of preparation, the match between class C of the second year and class F of the second year is about to begin.

The number of people on the high platform gradually increased.

"I can't see clearly from here..."

Morimi muttered in a low voice, walked away from Hikaru Takikawa, and squeezed to the other side of Naruse.

"Is there a difference?" He looked down and said.

Her arms were stuck together, and she didn't look at him, "I can see it more clearly from here."

He didn't say much.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the two, then looked at the field, raised his arm and waved it.

"Shangzi, starfish—come on—"
