Teiko Tennis Club...
Midorima was sitting alone on a chair, staring at the picture playing on the big screen in front of him.
The picture shows players wearing uniforms from other schools fighting against each other.
That's last year's national competition tape...
It was a match between a group of No. 2 doubles players, one of which was the Mutsu brothers, who are known as the No. 1 doubles players in the country.
The white air flow wrapped around the two of them, as brilliant as a gorgeous stream of light.
It looks a bit like the "state of no-self", but its brilliance is deeper and purer.
homology...
Known as the "miracle" in doubles.
It is said that only two players who have a perfect understanding of each other can do it.
"Is it overwhelmingly powerful..."
Midorima put his chin on the table with his hands crossed, and murmured while watching the invincible battle situation on the videotape.
(If you feel troubled, you can go and watch last year’s national competition.)
(There are many capable seniors there.)
Haruka's desire to be seen through by Akashi was of course verbally rejected by Midorima.
But unable to hold back what he was about to face next, he still chose to look for the video tape left by Akashi.
"This kind of thing, no matter how much I think about it, I don't think it can be achieved."
To synchronize with another player in doubles or something...
After thinking about Aomine's situation, Midorima felt that it was too difficult.
Of course, he only limited this statement to himself.
If it were Kuroko, he might be able to accomplish this "miracle".
Because I play doubles with Kuroko, I can perfectly feel the comfortable rhythm of the game.
But it is not that simple for Shintaro Midorima to control that feeling and achieve a tacit understanding with his teammates.
He is self-aware.
Turning off the videotape, Midorima felt somewhat impetuous.
Because of Di Guang's special relationship, it is basically impossible for him to appear in the singles position.
The doubles player in the other group with him was either Murasakihara or Kise.
Kagami, Aomine, and Shirazu would more or less tear one apart for Kuroko to use.
Occasionally he would throw singles to Kise for practice.
I can't get into the singles position.
No matter in terms of strength or team configuration, if there is someone more suitable than him to play singles, it is destined that he can only succumb to doubles.
The things to consider in doubles are not as simple as singles.
After all, doubles is 2V2, and there are too many factors involved.
The reason why Midorima had a headache was that he found that he seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
Unlike Kise and the others, the Miracles who can grow extremely are progressing without any limits.
He is the only one who has nothing special except for practicing the most solid "basic" skills.
He is not as quick as Aomine, nor as explosive as Kagami, nor as defensive as Murasakibara, nor does he have Shirazu's "moves", Akashi's skills, or Kise's "imitation" talent.
He seemed so ordinary among the crowd.
But when it comes to the basics of tennis, he is better than anyone else.
Precise ball control, perfect strength and speed, and free control of movement.
But even like this, he fell into "confusion".
Will he be able to keep up with Akaashi and the others after practicing the "basics" without any restrictions?
This was something he hadn't considered before.
But since witnessing the confrontation between Akashi and Kise some time ago, Midorima felt the urgency.
There is a fierce monster chasing behind him.
He doesn't want to just let it pass, at least not now...
I finally watched last year's national competition with an inquiring mind, but the "synchronization" I was looking forward to turned out to be such a difficult move to achieve.
Midorima was somewhat disappointed.
The three gates of selflessness...
Perhaps, he can only hope for the legendary "selfless state".
It is also a move to increase one's own strength.
………
"Akaashi-kun, didn't the videotape you asked Midorima-kun only have videos of doubles?"
In the classroom, Kuroko stood aside and asked Akashi who was changing his watch.
"Shintaro has been a little anxious recently. Maybe Ryota has irritated him."
Akashi stared at the battle list arranged by Momoi on the table without changing his expression and replied, while reaching out to correct it with a pen.
"Synchronic,...?"
"Midorima-kun, if..."
"Well, to be honest, there's nothing he can do at this stage, Kuroko."
Just when Kuroko was pondering what to say, Bai Jin, who was lying on the spliced table, suddenly stood up and spoke.
"Eh?"
"That video tape was given to Akashi by me."
"But I don't think Midorima can synchronize with any of us right now."
"That guy has such an awkward personality..."
With Kuroko's confusion, Shirazu explained frankly.
"In that case, why do you still want Midorima-kun to watch that kind of video?"
Kuroko didn't quite understand this. If it was a move that was destined to be impossible to learn, then why should Midorima watch it?
Isn't this a waste of time?
"Tetsuya, there is no need to have such a narrow vision."
With a chuckle, Akashi crossed out the name on the form and said, if it was really a waste of time, he would not agree to this.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Kuroko didn't know what Akashi meant at first, but when he caught a glimpse of Shirazu scratching his head, he seemed to understand a little bit.
"In the beginning, I didn't let Midorima watch it because I wanted him to try to learn the same tune."
"He himself is still confused about how to enhance his doubles strength."
"After reading it, he will know where he should work hard."
That was just a warning, telling Midorima that the strongest path for doubles is to "synchronize", but you can't learn it now.
Let's try to find another way first...
Put him in front of him in advance on the road where he may hit a wall, and the rest depends on how he studies on his own.
"And the world is not that stubborn."
"In addition to synchronization, maybe there are other "miracles" of doubles?"
Raising his hands and spreading them out, Bai Jin lay down, looked at the ceiling, and said.
"Other doubles 'miracles'?"
"What an incredible idea, Shirazu-kun."
"But if it were you, this might be a possible future."
After repeating it in a low voice, Kuroko understood what the two people's purpose was, but Bai Jin's words still inspired him a lot.
Is the only miracle of doubles "synchronicity"?
Wasn’t synchrony also invented by the players?
If synchronization is not suitable for you, then you can develop a move suitable for doubles.
Although the possibility is slim, it is better than sitting still and waiting for death.
"Any other future for doubles?"
"If there really is such a future, I really want to see it."
"Maybe it will be more interesting than expected."
Hearing Kuroko's words, a long-standing memory came to Bai Jin's mind. It was a card that he would never forget.
Purple... white... black... bicolor... cyan...
(If there is synchrony, why can’t there be “fusion” and “transcendence”, “pendulum”, and “link”?)
