Full-time cartoonist

Higashino Hibiki watched Yamamura Morimichi panting as he climbed up to the second floor. He was a little surprised, but also worried that he was out of breath.

Seeing him walking towards him, Higashikata wanted to say hello, but when he saw a girl next to him, he pressed his hat and said nothing.

The game begins.

Hibiki Higashino holds a gr-dv1 camera to record. A game lasts forty minutes, plus the time for timeouts and free throws. I don’t know if I can last that long.

Memory is also a big test.

Five minutes into the game, Meiji trailed by 10 points.

Hibiki Higashino was a little surprised. Firstly, he did not expect the strength of Tunghai University. Secondly, he did not expect that the level of college students was so high. These college students could also use the skills in "Slam Dunk".

Slam dunks, blocks, and three-pointers are all at your fingertips.

The entire audience cheered in shock, and Hibiki felt like the roof of the basketball stadium could be blown off.

Hua Chao's performance also surprised him.

After entering college, Hua Chao's level improved by leaps and bounds.

The level of Yanyan's basketball team is very low, just playing house. Not to mention the national competition, he did not even participate in the Tokyo competition.

Hua Chao did not join.

In the early days, he was accompanied by Hibiki Higashino, but later he played alone or played wild ball. After entering college, with systematic study, his performance really made Hibiki Higashi shine.

Hana Miyao is a center. On the basis of his amazing height and jumping ability, his ball skills have also improved greatly. He blocked Meiji University's rim-rushing offense.

It's quite a bit like the level of fish pillars at the beginning of the "Lingnan vs. Xiangbei" friendly match.

"East China Sea!"

"East China Sea!"

It was obviously an away game, but Tokai University stole the spotlight from Meiji University's home game.

Passers-by and spectators cheered and cheered for Tunghai University's wonderful expression.

"It's really great! I've been looking forward to this kind of atmosphere for a long time!" Yamamura Morichi listened to the female college student next to him shouting loudly.

He sighed, "You really like watching basketball games!"

"Yeah! It's very exciting, isn't it?" She faced the mountain village with one hand and pointed at the basketball court, her body trembling with excitement.

Her ponytail was raised up, her face was red, and her eyes were shining with stars.

"Hmm... um." Yamamura lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

The scene was indeed very enthusiastic. More than a thousand people watched such a friendly match. In addition to students, there were also many adults.

He asked angrily: "Isn't it like this before?"

"No," the girl shook her head, "one or two hundred people is considered too many."

She didn't want to talk about it, she was very excited watching the game on the court.

Yamamura looked up in confusion and glanced at the competition scene.

Since not many people watched basketball before, why are there so many spectators suddenly interested in basketball games?

When he was confused, the girl asked: "Uncle, do you also like watching basketball games?"

"No," Yamamura shook his head, "In my memory, this is probably the first time I have taken the initiative to watch a football match."

"Then you must also like to read "Slam Dunk"!" the girl said happily: "Recently, people around me suddenly became interested in basketball, all because of this comic! I have also read it, it is very real and exciting. , we are so lucky to see comics like "Slam Dunk"!"

"……yes……"

Yamamura suddenly lost interest.

I don’t know how to defeat such a powerful bird Akino Mirai.

The girl watched the game and said enthusiastically: "The basketball game between Xiangbei and Lingnan was drawn so well! So everyone is interested in basketball."

"Ah! This pass is so exciting! Donghai's No. 10 player dunked! It was like a gorilla dunk!"

The crowd cheered.

"East China Sea!", "East China Sea!"

This sound made the girls around Shancun dance.

"The painting is indeed very good, but it's just a little too good..." Yamamura said in frustration.

Tori Akino's comics have had a positive impact on society.

It is enough to make readers obsessed with Go and basketball because of the work.

Such a strong sense of involvement made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Why do you think so?" the girl asked strangely: "The better the painting, the more interesting it is, isn't it? You are such a strange person."

Yamamura shook his head, "You don't understand."

"What do we need to know about this? Unless we have bad intentions, then the works we like are getting better and better. This is what we should think."

"Evil-minded..." Yamamura muttered to himself.

He is a very proud person, and his pride is unexpected in the country of Japan.

Never look down on your peers.

How can you think now that "Tori Akino's works would be better if they were worse"?

It's so embarrassing.

"You're right," Yamamura Shoudao nodded.

The Meiji basketball team scored a three-pointer. Amid the enthusiastic cheers at the scene, Yamamura took the opportunity to vent loudly: "Draw better, Tori Akino!"

Higashi Hibiki, who was standing next to him, looked at him with a strange expression. Teacher Yamamura, what happened suddenly?

Is he dating his girlfriend? Why did you mention your name?

Higashino Hibiki heard that "The Sun Murder Incident" was cut in half, and originally wanted to comfort him, but now he decided not to disturb them.

He looked at the camera and saw that it was almost out of battery, so he put it away in his pocket and concentrated on watching the basketball game.

20 minutes are up, half time.

The players were sweating profusely, and some were sitting on the floor panting heavily.

Higashino Hibiki looked at this scene with a sigh, this is the fighting spirit of sports.

"Slam Dunk" probably depicts this point, which is why it is so popular.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Dong Yexiang walked downstairs and came to Donghai's rest area.

Akagi Xiangzi was wiping Hua Chao's sweat. She looked at Higashino Hibiki coming over with a somewhat resistant expression.

"Huh?" Dongye Xiang was greatly confused.

"Dong Ye." Hua Chao grinned, "How was it? My performance."

"That's awesome." Higashino gave a thumbs up, "The future version of Sakuragi Hanamichi."

"What a great review." Hua Chao said happily: "Drawing comics or basketball, you will be very happy when you are doing what you like."

Higashino Hibiki: "As long as you are happy."

Everyone else looked at Higashino Hibiki curiously. Akagi Kyouko looked at Higashikata and blinked, Hibiki shook his head.

In such a basketball stadium, he felt that half of the people had watched "Slam Dunk".

If the identity is exposed, the game may be affected.

He suddenly felt like the "Dragon King" in urban online articles.

Hibiki Higashino introduced himself, "Hello everyone, I am Hana Chao's high school classmate, Hibiki Higashino."

Then the Donghai basketball team players said their names.

Ba Chang, Xiao Lin, Ya Shen, Tian Bei...

"I saw Hua Chao practicing basketball when he was in high school. Now he can finally officially experience the fun of basketball games. Thank you very much."

Higashikata bowed.

Then, in order not to disturb their rest, Higashino Hibiki left.

Watching his leaving figure, Ba Chang said with emotion, "He is a very good friend. Don't lose the friendship between you."

Hua Chao nodded.

…

The second half begins.

Higashino Hibiki returned to Shancun's side again, curious about the relationship between the two people.

He saw that Shan Cun's expression was a little shy and said to the girl next to him: "I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name."

Higashikata was stunned. Didn't he even know his name?

"Didn't you say that?" The girl was stunned, "Sorry, my name is Hidemi Kikuchi. Where are you, uncle?"

"Mountain villages, mountain villages keep the road."

After saying his name in a deep voice, Yamamura Morichi was looking forward to it, hoping that she would recognize him.

But Hidemi Kikuchi just nodded, "What a strange name."

I don’t care anymore.

Yamamura asked: "Don't you usually read comics?"

"Look," Kiku nodded, "I especially like Sailor Moon and The Rose of Versailles."

Yamamura was anxious, "Don't you read shounen comics?"

"I'm not very interested. But I like "Slam Dunk" the most!" she said excitedly.

Yamamura was discouraged.

This is the first time Higashino Hibiki has seen Yamamura Shodo who is so worried about gains and losses.

It’s almost unbearable.

He simply turned around and left, going to another place to watch a basketball game.

Leave some space for this fragile man.

Another twenty minutes passed and the game was over.

It turned out to be Meiji University's victory by more than 5 points.

In the second half, they fought back and reversed the point difference. It turned out that several main players came on the field...

It's just like the sports works in comics.

After working hard to defeat the substitute opponent, the main force finally appeared to reverse the situation.

The only difference is that the protagonist team in sports comics will explode, but unfortunately it does not in reality.

Hibiki Higashino watched the Tokai basketball team shed tears and felt that the next time he watched their game, he would definitely see a brand new version of them.
