Chapter Eighty-Nine: Competing for a place in the quarterfinals

――Ah, it turns out that yesterday was the Lantern Festival, I forgot to drink and drink, and I was a day late, but I still wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival, good health, and all the best~~~ In addition, thank you to the book friends who voted for the recommendation, evaluation votes and rewards, I will not name them one by one, especially yesterday's rewards and rice balls, and try to change them tomorrow.

At dawn, Coach Tian Gang woke up the Lingnan players early, and then started basic training with a serious face.

Due to the proximity of the game, the training intensity is not large, and it is not much different from the warm-up, the purpose is to ensure the condition of the players.

When the Lingnan team came to the gymnasium, they found that the gymnasium was already overcrowded, and it was much more lively than the previous two days.

After all, today is the third round of the national competition, and the teams that can enter the third round have already won the top 16 rankings, so the intensity and level of competition can be imagined.

Due to the defeat of Ma Gongxi by Ikegami with the general substitute yesterday, the fame of the Lingnan team has increased greatly, and it is no longer as unfamous as it was at the beginning.

It is precisely because of the great increase in fame that the Lingnan team has also begun to have some support, although it is far inferior to Fengyu in this regard, but it is also a big progress.

On this day, the match between Lingnan and Fengyu can be said to be the most exciting game in this group.

Maybe the Lingnan team has currently won the top 16 seats, in short, Lingnan University is also a hemorrhage this time, the Lingnan Board of Directors paid out of their own pockets to organize a group of students to come to Tokyo to form the Lingnan cheerleading team, hoping to improve the morale of the team at the same time, by the way to start the fame of Lingnan University in the country.

Private schools are like this, they need to find ways to raise their value, expand their influence and reputation, and sports competition is a very important aspect for private schools. If Lingnan gets good enough results in this national competition, it will be able to raise the influence of Lingnan colleges and universities to a high level!

Of course, although Lingnan University is rich and rich, Fengyu University is not bad, because it has entered the national competition all the year round, and in this year's county competition, it has beaten Daei College to become the champion of Osaka, Fengyu University has spontaneously organized many students to come to Tokyo to cheer for the team this year, coupled with the charm of the previous heritage and bombardment tactics, it can be said that in terms of the number of cheerleaders, Fengyu has completely exploded Lingnan.

As soon as he entered the gymnasium, his ears were full of noisy sounds, and Ikegami's expression was calm, and he was not affected in the slightest, but his eyes fell on the other teammates.

He had seen a lot of cheering at this level in his previous life, so he would naturally not be affected.

Glancing at his teammates, Chishang's brows furrowed slightly, after all, this is the first time for the Lingnan team to participate in the national competition, although it has been bombarded by the Xiangyang cheerleaders in the county competition, but at this time and then, the tension in everyone's hearts can be imagined.

Among the many players, the best mentality is Yusaku Ozawa and Asahi Ken Matsushita, the former is the captain of the team, even if he is nervous, he will not show it, and the latter is completely too optimistic and likes to be lively, so he will remain normal on this occasion, but he often looks left and right, observing the beauties in the gym.

The rest of the Lingnan players were more or less nervous, and the senior seniors were okay and were not greatly affected. But the younger grades are different, including the fish living inside, the muscles become stiff and appear extremely nervous.

The reason why I am so nervous, in addition to the factors of my own experience and insight, is the relationship between my mentality and my own heritage. Just like the Fengyu basketball team that just came on the other side, even the newcomers in the first year this year didn't show much nervousness. The comparison between the two is clear at a glance in terms of mentality.

As a coach, Shigeichi Taoka also sees it clearly, and he also has some gains and losses in his heart. It's just that he is very pleased that the team's ace mentality is still stable, which makes him add a lot of confidence out of thin air. As long as Chishang remains normal, Lingnan will be a strong team in the country, not to mention Fengyu's top eight team, even compared to Hainan High School and Aihe College, it is difficult to say whether the winner or loser.

Due to the relationship between only four teams in each group, there are only two games in this stadium today, namely Aihe Academy vs Luo'an, and Lingnan vs Fengyu!

Luoan is also a traditional powerhouse in the national competition, having won the round of 16 in the national competition last year, and judging from the current situation and score, Luoan may still have to stop in the round of 16 this year, because they met the seeded team Aihe Academy.

It's just that Luoan is a strong team after all, and Aihe Academy is not careless to hide its strength, and it is naturally the starting lineup that is sent.

Among them, the most outstanding are undoubtedly the captain of Aihe Academy, Hirogen Takeshita and Zhuxingda, among which Hirogen Takeshita can be described as taking and grabbing in the inner line, using superb physical fitness to wreak havoc on the inner line of Luoan. As for the stars, they use the superb skills of combining speed and flexibility to easily cut points.

As for the rest of the Aiwa Academy players, although they are not bad, they are also role players in Ikegami's opinion.

In fact, it can be seen from the famous friends VS Love and Academy in SD that after Zhu Xingda was injured, it is not an exaggeration to say that Love and Academy were killed and lost their armor, and after Zhu Xingda returned in the second half, the score difference between the two sides was crazy to chase back. From this point, it can be seen that except for the aces, the rest of the players in Aihe Academy are relatively ordinary.

Although the Luoan players worked very hard to extinguish these two points, whether it was single defense, assisted defense or even multi-person packing, they could not curb the play of the two. As a result, under the overall trend, the difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, and less than ten minutes have passed in the second half, and the coach of the Luoan team has no choice but to let the starters go off the field in order to train the substitute players.

Although the coach of Aihe Academy is ordinary, it is not NC, and now the situation is completely clear, if he continues to fight and kill, he will offend the team of Luoan, so he will also send a substitute.

Of course, there is also a relationship between the frequent competitions of the national competition, one game a day, if the starters are allowed to play the whole game every day, even if everyone except those iron men can hold on, their strength will be weakened to a certain extent.

The substitutes on both sides rarely had the opportunity to play, but at this time they played extremely fiercely, trying their best to show themselves in this game that was already doomed, hoping to win the favor of the coach.

It didn't take long for the dust to settle in this game that decided the quarterfinals, and Aihe Academy defeated Luo An and advanced to the quarterfinals, and the next match between Lingnan and Fengyu began.

When entering the special passage, the players of the Aihe Academy just came out of this passage.

"I hope to see you in the next game!" Zhuxing, who had just won the game, was full of confidence, full of arrogance for a while, and as soon as he saw the Lingnan team, he came to Chishang, and his eyes were full of war.

Ikegami shrugged his shoulders in reply, and followed the team through the special passage into the arena.

"Really!" Zhuxingda touched his nose, and Ikegami's reaction was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Zhuxing, I'd rather be Fengyu who will play with us at that time than Lingnan! Of course, it is best for both teams to do their best, and we will have a great chance of winning when the time comes!"

Hirogen Takeshita patted Zhuxing's head at this time and said to himself.

"Cut!" Zhu Xingda obviously had a good relationship with Takeshita Guangyuan, and at this time, he directly broke free from Takeshita Guangyuan's rubbing and despised it.

After the two teams of Lingnan and Toyotama entered the arena, Coach Kitano and Coach Tagang took their players to start preparing after a friendly conversation.

Ikegami took off his coat and began a simple warm-up with the other four starters. The same is true of Fengyu on the other side, but their warm-up is provocative.
