early morning!

Tian Ye hangs a towel around his neck and runs out. In the morning, he made an appointment with Sendo to meet at the basketball court in the park. The basketball thing is just to play with brothers. If you are alone, you can do basic training.

Tianye came to the park and heard the sound of "bang bang" smashing baskets in the park.

"Did Xiandao arrive so early?"

The curious Tianye looked inside through the barbed wire and saw boys with a faint indifference all over his body standing behind his back.

Rukawa Kaede lowered her head, covering her shattered bangs, covering her eyebrows and eyes. Under the sunlight, the sweat on the boy's skin reflected a halo of halo. His cold eyes, thin and long phoenix eyes, and under his high nose were two thin lips with pride.

"interesting!"

Tian Ye recognized Rukawa Kaede who was practicing football in the field at a glance, and smiled at the corner of her mouth. Tian Ye pushed open the fence door and walked inside.

The movement of pushing the door attracted Rukawa Kaede who was practicing football. There was usually no one coming to this venue. Rukawa Kaede's eyes looked at the door, and a familiar face reflected in Rukawa Kaede's eyes.

"Shimiya Tianno!"

Rukawa Kaede whispered in surprise. He hadn't seen this person for a long time. He didn't see him in the winter match of the second semester of his second grade in junior high school. I heard from the seniors in the school that this person went to Lingnan High School.

"Yo!"

“Do you play together?”

Tano raised his hand and greeted Rukawa Kaede.

"don't want!"

Rukawa Kaede's answer was beyond Tian Ye's expectations. Shouldn't normal people say it?

"Ha...ha...ha! The young man has personality!"

"Okay, I'll go to another half."

Tian Ye touched the back of his head awkwardly, held the ball and prepared to go to the other half to play first, and then wait for Xiandao.

"Wait!"

"If you are willing to be one-on-one with me!"

Rukawa Kaede called out to Tano. He knew that Tano was very strong and wanted to take this opportunity to compete with this man.

"One-on-one? Don't regret it!"

Tano turned his head and smiled at Rukawa Kaede.

"Play 13 goals with you, and I have a teammate coming later."

"Use your ball."

Tano said this to Rukawa Kaede. Anyway, the Sendao has not arrived yet, so I will play a few balls with Rukawa Kaede to get familiar with the feel. After running, I have already done my warm-up. Tiano stood outside the three-point line and wanted to attack first.

"mora!"

Rukawa Kaede rarely speaks, but the meaning is expressed very clearly.

"It's really not adorable~"

Tano had no choice but to decide to serve first with Rukawa Kaedaki.

"Ahhh! I'll attack first, it's not!"

"whispering sound!"

Tano obtained the first ball, threw the ball he brought to the side, stood near the center circle and signaled Rukawa Kaede to give the ball. Rukawa Kaede stood outside the three-point line, gave the ball to Tiano, and put it in a defensive position about 2m away from Tano.

On the next open court, Tianno used enough firepower to attack. Rukawa Kaede's defense was indeed good, but the difference in physical fitness was too big. Tianno scored frequently on Rukawa Kaede's head. Faced with Tianno's full firepower, Rukawa Kaede could only do his best to interfere with the defense.

…………

“dang!”

Tano shook Rukawa Kaede away at the basket and then dunked it. This was the 13th goal that Tano won.

"I won, Rukawa Kaede."

Tanye loosened his hands that were grabbing the basket, picked up the basketball from the ground and threw it to Rukawa Kaede and said to him.

"hateful!"

Large beads of sweat slid down Rukawa Kaede's face, and Rukawa Kaede's hair also accumulated a lot of sweat. The blue veins on his calves were revealed one by one. Although Rukawa Kaede only defended 13 goals, the physical strength consumed was extremely huge.

"Come again!"

Rukawa Kaede gasped, 13 goals, 13 goals, Rukawa Kaede failed to defend against any of the balls. He was arrogant and did not allow himself to fail. Rukawa Kaede's eyes showed firmness, and his eyes were staring at Tianye.

"call……"

Tanye breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Rukawa Kaede's eyes, he knew that he might not be able to get out today, and Rukawa Kaede's desire to win and lose had been completely aroused. And Tanye knew that Rukawa Kaede was the kind of person who would never give up until he achieved his goal.

"If you are a top basketball player and after so many rounds of battle, you should know the gap in strength between us."

Rukawa Kaede obviously lost his coldness. He no longer looked at the strength gap between himself and Tian Ye. He was so angry that he just wanted to find the place on Tian Ye's head.

"Please come again 5 goals, Senior Tianno!"

Rukawa Kaede said his request and brought honorifics when speaking to Tiano. Rukawa Kaede did not lose his calmness as Tiano thought. On the contrary, Rukawa Kaede is now very clear about the gap between himself and Tiano, but because he knows the gap, he has to fight even more.

Rukawa Kaede wants to treat Tianye as his whetstone to sharpen his abilities. Nowadays, the people who can threaten Rukawa Kaede have only Yokota's center in Kanagawa. People from other schools cannot be called opponents at all. Rukawa Kaede once lost his goal and motivation to move forward.

"Just 5 goals!"

Tian Ye spread his hands helplessly and agreed to Rukawa Kaede's request. Anyway, the Sendao has not arrived yet. Rukawa Kaede's little brother is also very skilled. Although he is a little tender as a sparring training, he is still quite interesting.

The five-ball Tianye still plans to attack with his physical advantage, so that the little brother Rukawa Kaede will recognize his shortcomings at one time!

…………

When Sendo arrived at the basketball court, he only saw two people playing a fierce game. One was Shimiya Tano, whom he was familiar with, and the other handsome guy didn't know who he was, his defensive movements were very clean and neat, and his reading of Tianye's offensive position was quite accurate. If he hadn't been unable to withstand Tianye's advancement, this game might have been even more exciting.

Xiandao did not make a sound to bother the two people who were fighting fiercely, but sat directly on the sidelines with the ball in his arms to watch the game between the two people.

Tano no longer knows which ball this ball is. His game with Rukawa Kaede no longer counts how many balls he played. As long as he doesn't call a stop, Tano will take the ball and attack infinitely.

Tian Ye succeeded in the inside line by emergency stop.

Because of his high speed and fatigue during defense, Rukawa Kaede fell to the ground by Tian Ye's sudden stop.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

Rukawa Kaede supported the bottom with both hands, trying to get himself up, but the fatigue on his legs and the pain of falling to the ground made him unable to stand up immediately.

"Let's stop here, Rukawa Kaede."

After wiping the sweat from his head, Tian Ye said to Rukawa Kaede from a high place.

Rukawa Kaede didn't answer. He tried hard to stand up, and he wanted to continue fighting against Tiano. Although he knew that he had lost a long time ago, he didn't want to give up just like that. He wanted to become stronger, and he wanted to continue fighting.

Ignoring Rukawa Kaede who was still struggling on the ground, Tianno walked straight towards Sendao. It was already 10 o'clock now, and Sendao has just arrived, so I can't do anything to practice in the morning.

"Give me the ball, I'm going home!"

Xiandao also realized that he was coming a little late, so he threw the ball around him to Tianye and leaned on Tianye with a smile on his face.

"Sorry, I've overslept~"

Xiandao apologized repeatedly. Seeing that Tianye ignored him, he walked out with the ball and hurriedly followed Tianye.

Sendo and Tano walked out of the court one after another, leaving Rukawa Kaede sitting alone on the court in a daze. His clenched fists explained his state of mind at this moment.
Chapter completed!
