Chapter Eighty-Six: Knock Him Up
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the whole Lingnan team, led by Shigeichi Taoka, went to the gymnasium designated by the organizing committee, where they will hold their first national competition.
The 59 teams participating in the national competition were arranged to be held in several stadiums. By the time the Lingnan team arrived, there were already two basketball teams in the game.
The match was not spectacular, but it was intense enough, mainly because the strength of the two sides was not much different, probably only at the level of the quarterfinals in Kanagawa Prefecture.
At the time of the arrival of the Lingnan team, the team affiliated with the Shenbao University arrived almost at the same time.
The two sides just glanced at each other from a distance and did not mean to greet each other. As a capital team, Jimboo has its own pride. And the Lingnan team mainly doesn't look down on the strength of the opponent and thinks that there is no need for that.
Of course, it can't be said that the Shenbao Great Affiliate has no strength, but it is much worse than Lingnan. College teams with the word "big affiliate" in the name of this kind of school are often more powerful, mainly because they have the talent reserve and training conditions of the integration of universities and high schools, among which the typical representatives are the affiliated high school of Boduo Business University and Hainan High School!
Of all the regions, only Tokyo has three national tournaments. It's not just the fact that Tokyo is the capital, but also the fact that there are many schools in Tokyo, so the strength of the schools that can stand out from them is not bad.
It's just that in this year's ranking of the Tokyo Prefecture Competition, the Jinbo Daisuchi is only ranked third, and Shigeichi Taoka is notoriously cautious, and he has watched the video of the Jimbo Daidai before the game, and finally thinks that the strength of the Jimboho Daisuke is slightly inferior to Tsuhisatake.
In the field of competition, only strength can make oneself respected, otherwise everything is empty talk, this is not just talk.
While the two teams watched the game, to Ikegami's surprise but still being cleaned up, several players from Aiwa Academy from Aichi Prefecture also came to the gymnasium.
"It's strange, the seeded team had a bye in the first round, what are they doing here?" Coach Yamamoto, who was affiliated with Jimboo Dai, looked at the players of Aiwa Academy with doubts in his eyes.
"What else can it be, it must be a recognition of the strength of our Shenbao Great Affiliate, so let's take a closer look!"
As soon as Coach Yamamoto's words fell, the main center of Jimbo's major affiliated with the center shouted loudly, his words full of the arrogance of a metropolitan team.
It's a pity that at this moment, the players of Aihe Academy didn't bother to pay attention to the Shenbao Major, but walked straight towards the phalanx of the Lingnan team.
"You are Coach Tian Gang of the Lingnan team, I am Hirogen Takeshita, the captain of the basketball team of Aihe Academy!"
Hirogen Takeshita is a tall, thin man with an honest face, and as soon as he came to Coach Tiangang, he stretched out his hand with a friendly face.
"It turned out to be Takeshita-san, but I don't know what Takeshita-chan has to say?" Although Coach Tian Gang was a little puzzled in his heart, he still stretched out his hand and shook Takeshita Guangyuan.
"We're just bored to watch the game, so it shouldn't get in the way!"
"Naturally, it's out of the way!"
While the two were talking, the big eyes of the stars who were following Takeshita Guangyuan directly skimmed over the other Lingnan players, and landed directly on Chishang, his eyes were bright and full of belligerence.
"Look at Mao, I don't do it!" Chi Shang was hairy by Zhu Xingda's gaze, and secretly said in his heart, he and Zhu Xingda should have met for the first time, why did he stare at himself as soon as he came, shouldn't he!
"All the stars are great!" the stars went straight to the pond and stretched out their right hand.
"Ryoji Ikegami!" Ikegami was slightly surprised, and then stretched out his right hand as well.
It's just that as soon as the two of them shook each other, Chishang's face was a little strange, but it was fleeting, and he showed a smile instead.
The time for the two to shake hands was significantly longer than normal, and judging from the bruised arms of the two, the two were obviously wrestling in secret.
It's just that compared to the light breeze of the clouds on the pond, Zhu Xingda's face became ugly, except for the fact that he took advantage of a little sneak attack at the beginning, the right hand of the pond was like an iron tong, holding him tightly, and a ** pain came from his right hand, which made him have the urge to withdraw his hand. However, for the sake of face, Zhuxingda still clings to it.
Hirogen Takeshita, who was talking to Coach Tagao, immediately saw that something was wrong, came to Ikegami, and said with a smile: "I think this is Ikegami-san!"
"Takeshita-senpai, what's the matter?"
With Takeshita Guangyuan's insertion, Ikegami is no longer able to wrestle with the stars, so he can only let go of the stars.
"It's nothing, you can snatch the MVP of Kanagawa Prefecture from Takanomiya Motoyu, I admire it!"
Hirogen Takeshita played haha and chatted casually with Ikegami.
On the other side, Zhu Xingda put his hands behind his back, kept rubbing his right hand with his left hand, and shouted in his heart: "This kid's strength is so great, it's almost the same as Ah Mu!
It turned out that although Zhuxing Da and Mu Shenyi were opponents in the middle school period, the two were still a pair of good friends in addition to their opponents, and they chatted with Mu Shenyi yesterday.
The chatter between the two is naturally inseparable from basketball, and Mu Shen is open-minded, so he said some powerful people in Kanagawa Prefecture, which emphasized the strength of Ikegami. At present, the unstoppable stars in Aichi Prefecture were not convinced, so they had a meeting like the one just now.
Ikegami and Hirogen Takeshita chatted casually, all of which were polite words. Immediately, Takeshita Guangyuan took a few people from Zhuxing and sat down in a few seats in the front row.
After all, this is the first round of the national competition, and there are not many spectators who have come here to watch the competition. It is only after the second round of the tournament that the atmosphere off the field grows stronger.
It didn't take long for the two teams on the field to finally decide the winner, and the staff of several gymnasiums cleaned the field with tools such as mops to avoid accidents on the field.
Coach Tian Gang took the Lingnan players into the game venue from the special passage and came to the bench belonging to Lingnan.
"Chishang, the opponent in this game is not strong, you watch from the field first, if the situation is not right, I will naturally send you to the field, what do you think?"
When Ikegami was about to take off his coat, Coach Takaka's words made him stop the move immediately, thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, perhaps due to the contempt of the Aihe Academy players, the players affiliated with the Shenbao University can be described as excited, and they all want to make the Lingnan team look good in the game.
After the two sides warmed up on the sidelines, the reasoning on the field had ended, but when the players attached to the Shenbao University saw that the ace player of the Lingnan team was sitting on the bench, a feeling of contempt came to mind, and the anger in his heart boiled in an instant.
"Knock him up and let him know the consequences of despising our Divine Protector!"
