Akashi Asuka came to the stadium in a dusty manner carrying a black shoulder bag.
"Too late!"
"You guys are late!"
"It's obviously the gymnasium closest to your home, but why are you the slowest to arrive?"
Asuka Akashi had just arrived at the stadium when he saw Tomoki Tsugawa and several freshmen who usually played better came over and started teasing him with a smile.
Kasuga Ryuhei, who was not far away, saw this scene and immediately became furious again.
"By the way, what are you carrying on your back?"
Tsugawa Tomoki and Akashi Asuka chatted for a while, and soon his attention was attracted by the black shoulder bag behind Akashi Asuka, and he spoke.
Akashi Asuka opened the zipper of his backpack and showed a mysterious smile: "This! You are all familiar with it too..."
As he spoke, he took out the contents of his backpack.
And when this thing was taken out, not only Tsukawa Tomoki, but also the eyes of Tsutomu Iwamura and Kasuga Ryuhei from a distance were instantly attracted.
"Akashi, you...why did you bring our team's championship trophy?"
Tsukawa Tomoki said with wide eyes.
That's right.
What Akashi Asuka took out from his backpack was the championship trophy that Masabon won in this summer's national competition.
At this time, Kasuga Ryuhei couldn't sit still at all. He hurriedly walked over and frowned: "Akashi, why did you bring the championship trophy here? Are you planning to show it off?"
"Calm down, senior!"
Akashi Asuka was very calm and said: "Although I think it's okay to show off if we win a championship. But this time I'm not doing it for that, but to let our team members feel the feel of the championship trophy.
After all, the last awards ceremony was too busy, and it seems that many people haven’t even touched the trophy!”
Having said this, Akashi Asuka smiled and looked at the many first- and second-year players not far away.
Hearing his words, the faces of these first- and second-year substitute players also showed expressions of anticipation. Speaking of which, they seemed to have never had the chance to touch the championship trophy after the award ceremony before!
A surge of anger surged into his heart, and an [anger] symbol suddenly burst out from Kasuga Takahei's forehead.
"You're just doing it for this little thing..."
"etc!"
Kasuga Ryuhei was about to step forward to have a good argument with Akashi Asuka, but before he could start, Iwamura Tsutomu suddenly spoke and called him.
"Let him be! Haruhi!"
Compared to Kasuga Ryuhei's anger at the moment, Iwamura Tsutomu touched his chin, looking at Akashi Asuka's behavior, a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.
······
"Can we... really touch the trophy?"
Some people looked at Akashi Asuka expectantly, and then looked at Iwamura Tsutomu and Kasuga Ryuhei. There was no response from Kasuga Ryuhei and Iwamura Tsutomu, but Akashi Asuka nodded with a smile.
"Of course there is no problem. After all, this is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team. It won't be damaged if you touch it."
"Very good!"
"After the competition, I have only seen the trophy at the club counter, but I have never touched it with my own hands!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! It's time to change people after touching them!"
Everyone immediately moved closer excitedly, while Akashi Asuka stood there, watching everyone's actions with a smile.
After a while.
When everyone gradually calmed down, Akashi Asuka spoke again.
"Have you touched them all?"
"Touched!"
"Okay, now can any of you tell me how you felt when you touched the trophy just now?" Akashi Asuka glanced at everyone with a smile and said slowly.
The first and second grade players from Zhengbang looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what Akashi Asuka meant for a while.
After all, aren’t trophies just trophies?
After a while.
Only then did I hear someone scratching his hair and saying sheepishly: "Well~~ I feel quite proud!"
Akashi Asuka nodded and said, "That's true. After all, no matter which team wins the national championship, they should be proud."
At this point, Asuka Akashi suddenly changed the topic, and then continued: "But, do you know how I feel when I hold this trophy now?"
"You should be very proud!"
Akashi Asuka shook his head and sighed: "No, I feel that this trophy is very heavy now, so heavy that I can hardly hold it with one hand."
As he said that, Akashi Asuka suddenly took out a document from his black shoulder bag and said: "This is the latest information that Yuzuki and I have collected in the past few days. It mainly records several of our Zhengbang's main opponents.
The training situation during this period.”
"Huh? Training? But it's summer vacation now!"
Hearing this sentence, some people were stunned and couldn't help but be surprised.
Akashi Asuka looked up at the man and said, "What you said is absolutely right, but summer vacation is the best time to widen the gap, isn't it?"
"This information first starts from Tokyo District. After being eliminated in the qualifiers, Shutoku High School in Tokyo, which has the 'Generation of Miracles' - Shintaro Midorima, has been training until now, and held a sleepover in the middle.
"
"I think you all know about this."
Everyone nodded. After all, Zhengbang and Xiude met unexpectedly when they stayed together.
Then Akashi Asuka did another calculation and said: "Counting from the time we officially participated in the national competition, as of today, Xiudoku has had a full 8 days more training time than Zhengbang."
Speaking of which.
Akashi Asuka suddenly reached out from his backpack and took out eight lead weights and threw them into the trophy, and then continued: "Then there are the three opponents, Jorin, Izumikan, and Kiriou, who met in the Tokyo District final round."
"Sumikan, like Masakuni, is one of the 'three kings' in Tokyo. It belongs to a long-established and wealthy university. Needless to say, its strength is natural. After being eliminated from the preliminaries, they, like Xiude, also spent a day training.
decline·····"
"Although Jorin is a new school, the sixth member of Miracle Generation has joined, and Kagami Taiga, a seed player whose potential is not inferior to that of Generation Miracles, cannot be underestimated.
"
"In addition, according to the latest information, Kagami Daiga has already gone abroad to find his former basketball master for special training at the beginning of this summer vacation. It is estimated that by the time he returns, his strength will have improved to a new level."
"So there is no problem at all for these two teams to add eight lead weights each."
Saying that, Akashi Asuka threw eight more lead blocks into the trophy...
Then he continued to calculate: "Next is Tong Huang..."
