Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 119 Everyone's Thoughts

The gymnasium after school was busier than ever before.

The women's basketball team has temporarily gone outside to practice in an open field, but the proportion of girls in the gym has actually increased.

Jun Matsueda walked into the stadium. Members of the wind band were sitting in the stands, and cheerleaders in short skirts were standing in the field.

The girls in the stands greeted Jun Matsueda and he waved back.

"Matsueda! Aren't you going to participate in the winter selection? Why don't you need to train?" The outgoing chief trumpeter stood up from the stands and shouted at him.

Jun Matsueda glanced at her, walked to the edge of the court, patted the bench, and sat down next to Natsumi Imokawa.

"Matsueda-san is just a substitute." Tomatsu Tomoka explained for him.

As for how she knew, all we can say is that Jun Matsueda’s friends knew, and the girl would know.

The girls in the wind band looked at Tomatsu Tomoka with a strange look in their eyes. Their principal saxophone player had once pursued Matsueda Jun with all possible means, and since the person involved had never denied the rumor, it had become a tacit fact.

Because of this incident, the girls in the wind band were a little afraid of Tomatsu Tomoka and kept their distance from her at first, but as time went by, their attitudes began to return to normal.

After all, how Tomatsu Tomoka pursues the person she likes has no effect on girls at all. They just need to know that the girl’s view on love is not normal.

"Okay, after the cheerleading team gathers, we will start playing." Yamami Moki stood in the front row of the stands and clapped her hands, reminding everyone to concentrate.

Natsumi Imokawa sat between Jun Matsueda and Yumi Senshita and fiddled with the camera. The filming of the women's basketball team was over, and the three freshmen from the news club gathered again.

After the cheerleaders lined up in the field next to them, the boys also put down their basketballs and stood along the midfield line.

Yamami Maki said to the members, "First, we will simulate the entrance and prepare the school song." She turned to face the basketball court and prepared to lead the performance.

The melodious and delicate oboe sounded first, and soon turned into an ensemble. With the accompaniment of the school song, the cheerleaders entered the field and stood around half of the field.

Both the basketball team and the cheerleading team only occupied half of the court because the other half was reserved for the opponents in the official game.

After the school song, the girls in short skirts left the stage, and the boys began training. After the break and after training, there were simulated halftime cheers and victory cheers.

Of course, when the basketball team is training, the cheerleaders and the brass band will not be idle either. They will practice in the nearby fields and stands, which also allows the players to adapt to the noisy audience seats during the actual game.

"It's such a big scale!" Natsumi Imokawa said excitedly. She had just taken pictures of the cheerleading team and the basketball team, and then turned around to take pictures of the brass band. She was busy like a top.

"This is also a national-level competition. Fuji TV and J-SPORTS will broadcast it live." Jun Matsueda explained to the two girls.

Fuji is one of the five major private TV stations in Japan, and J-SPORTS is also a well-known sports TV station. The girls in the news department showed wow expressions.

"Hey, look, isn't Songzhi a substitute? Why is he training on the court now?" a girl in the stands suddenly said.

The girls in free practice stopped and watched Jun Matsueda take off his jacket and walk into the venue in his shirt.

"Sorry Songeda, your jersey isn't ready yet."

"It's okay, Arai-senpai." He walked towards the dark-skinned minister.

The current model of the basketball team is to divide the non-participating third-year students into one team and the participating first- and second-year students into another team to conduct confrontational training, which is also to allow the players to adapt to the formal competition environment in the absence of the main third-year students.

But today there are not enough third-year students as some have gone to private school, so the director asked Jun Matsueda to come on and practice with them.

"Matsueda doesn't look very talented, so why did the basketball club insist on inviting him?"

The sophomore in the stands asked, she watched the September ball game but didn't watch the freshmen's game.

A puzzled look was cast at Tomatsu Tomoka, but the girl did not intend to explain. She continued to play her saxophone and follow the white shirt on the field with her peripheral vision.

It was enough for her to know Matsueda-san's shining appearance alone.

Jun Matsueda passed the ball to his teammate and watched him catch and shoot. He and the third-year student worked well together; all he had to do was pass, grab the ball, defend, and provide assists.

A defensive foul occurred, and during free throw time, Jun Matsueda walked towards the three-point line. Someone walked towards him and bumped right into his shoulder. "Sorry, I didn't notice you," the person wearing jersey number 36 said with a smile.

Jun Matsueda looked at the minister. After the free throws, Minister Arai walked towards him.

"Some of the players have never seen you play, and they're not happy about someone from outside the basketball team being included in the roster."

"So did a senior really go to the private school today?" Matsueda Jun became suspicious. He now felt that these ministers had a lot on their minds.

Except for Yamami Moki.

"I gave him the day off today, and he went out with his girlfriend."

While talking, the two ran back to their team's three-point line, ready to defend.

"So Senior wants me to not let you win?"

The minister smiled and nodded. "Some people become complacent after making the roster. This mentality is too dangerous in an official match. Please curb their enthusiasm."

As expected, Jun Matsueda now understands why the minister is optimistic about Ken Sakamuro as his successor.

He made an OK gesture and rushed out under the surprised gaze of his senior.

No. 36 had just dribbled the ball to midfield when he saw the man he had just provoked running up to him. Before he could even get into a defensive stance, Matsueda Jun stole the ball.

While he was still in a daze, his teammate Ken Sakamuro had already shouted to return to defense and turned around to try to catch up with the accelerating Jun Matsueda.

The girls in the stands exclaimed as they watched the boy in a shirt, who was chatting with his teammates, suddenly rush forward to grab the ball, leaving the opponents who were returning to defend behind him, and finally jump high in the penalty area to dunk.

Tomatsu Tomoka sat among the girls who were talking. She squinted her eyes with pleasure and increased the volume of her saxophone.

"Matsueda, are you ready to use force in the first formal training?" Sakamuro Ken walked to Jun Matsueda, took the basketball that fell to the ground, and watched the boy pull up the sleeve of his shirt that was rolled up to his forearm, revealing the muscular lines of his upper arm.

"I don't want to either. I'm wearing a shirt, and it would be embarrassing if I sweat too much." Matsueda Jun looked at No. 36 who had arrived late. "But Minister Arai gave a death order, telling me to fight freely. What else can I do but agree?"

He imitated what Ken Sakamuro had said before, and the person involved could only wipe the sweat from his forehead and sigh.

"Kamimura, pay more attention during training. Don't you even know to return to defense when the ball is intercepted?" As the captain, Sakamuro Ken turned around and vented his anger on his teammates.

No. 36 nodded with an embarrassed look on his face, and the hostility in his eyes as he looked at Matsueda Jun remained unchanged.

Half an hour later, Jun Matsueda shot from outside the three-point line and the ball went into the net.

No. 36, who jumped up to try to block him, fell back to the ground. His heavy breathing and sweat on his forehead revealed his unconcealable fatigue.

"Kamimura, you can't defend him, let me do it." His teammate said bluntly.

The boy was unable to refute and could only watch the shirt go away in frustration and exchange places with his teammates.

Ten minutes later, No. 36 felt a little better because his teammates were unable to defend Jun Matsueda. Only double defense could interfere with this physical monster.

"Matsueda is too strong. Is there anyone of the same level in the basketball team who can defeat him?" Seshita Yumi said to her best friend.

Natsumi Imokawa was busy taking pictures of the muscular outlines under Jun Matsueda's sweat-soaked shirt and had no time to pay attention to her.

During their breaks, the girls from the wind band and cheerleading team leaned on the railings of the stands, watching the boys dribbling past players, shooting, and dunking on the court, their white shirts becoming more and more transparent.

When Jun Matsueda walked to the sidelines to drink water, he heard the sounds of mobile phones taking pictures and the continuous shutter sounds of a camera. He looked up outside the field and saw the girls waving at him excitedly.

Yamami Maki looked at the girl beside her, and the pride on Tomatsu Tomoka's face was mixed with a bit of jealousy.

"If Matsueda-san takes the stage at that time, the number of people paying attention to him will definitely increase dramatically." She reminded her juniors.

Yamamiya Moki didn't want to delve into what kind of mentality she had when she said this.
