Kazuko won the prefectural tournament championship, and captain Ryuzheng won the prefectural tournament MVP with an all-around performance.
It was expected that Ryu Jung won the MVP, but when it came time to select the five hard-working players, the organizing committee was caught up in a heated debate.
The Basketball Association has reached an agreement with the Kanagawa Prefecture High School Quarterfinals that all five hard-working players can be sent to any of the top eight schools, and the Basketball Association will be responsible for all the tuition and fees of these five students for three years of high school.
Hard-working players are just external terms, the basketball association essentially wants to select the five most talented basketball players, and only the most talented players are worthy of the basketball association's three-year tuition and fees.
In addition to Toru Hanagata and Mitsui Shou, the other three candidates have not been decided, and seeing that the award ceremony is about to start, the organizing committee can only push this problem to Yataro Ando.
In a conference room, Ando was dragged here by the organizing committee as soon as he got off the live broadcast.
Looking at the shortlist of hard-working players, Ando had a headache. You must know that the award ceremony of the prefectural competition was also broadcast live on TV and was seen by the people of the Kanto region. Therefore, the selection of hard-working players must be well-deserved, and no one can find fault with them.
Seeing that the minutes were ticking, Ando proposed that everyone vote by secret ballot to select five players who worked hard.
"Toru Hanagatata, Kotoshi Mitsui, Hirotai Suzuki, Ryosuke Kojima" Ando took the list, "and Sakuragi Hanamichi." ā
"My name is Hanamichi Sakuragi, and I'm the future No. 1 striker in Japan."
Thinking of the first meeting with Sakuragi, Ando sighed.
Sakuragi's nomination was both unexpected and reasonable, because as a beginner, Sakuragi improved so fast!
In the finals of this prefectural competition, in the face of the three elders of Hirotai Suzuki, Kazuma Takasago, and Toru Hanagata, Sakuragi was not frightened, and supported Wako's inner line with his own strength. After Hirotai Suzuki and Toru Hanagata came off the court, they suppressed Takasago and almost won all the rebounds on the court. The future of this country's life is truly limitless!
............
No champagne and no flowers. The award ceremony of the prefectural competition is very simple.
First of all, there is the award of awards to the champion team.
The staff led the way, and the Heguang players walked into the basketball court in turn, stood in the middle circle of the court, faced the audience, and bowed down.
As the captain, Long Zheng received the championship certificate and took a group photo, and the award ceremony of the champion team was over.
When the Wako players retreated, the radio began to broadcast the MVP and the list of five hard-working players.
Yataro Ando personally came on the field and presented awards to the six people.
Long Zheng brought the MVP medal with the highest gold content, and the five hard-working players also held their respective medals and were excited.
After the award ceremony, Long Zheng was about to leave with everyone, and a scene that frightened him appeared.
Sixty percent of the 5,000 spectators at the scene did not leave the basketball hall, but got out of the audience and surrounded themselves.
In a moment, Long Zheng was surrounded by a crowd of people, some asked for autographs, some asked for a group photo, and more asked for autographs and group photos. The enthusiasm of the audience sent chills down Long Zheng's spine, if he signed a group photo for the 3,000 audience, I am afraid that less than half of him would collapse and fall on the basketball court.
Worried that the scene would get out of control, Ando led the staff to run over quickly to escort Long Zheng.
"Everyone!"
Ando raised the horn and said loudly: "Oda-san has just experienced a fierce competition and is now exhausted, but everyone's enthusiasm is seen by Oda-san and Oda-san will meet everyone's requirements one by one." Now, everyone follows the arrangement of the staff, lines up, and comes one by one. ā
"Ando senior" Hearing Ando's words, Long Zheng's face turned pale, and his legs were a little weak, "I really want to be satisfied one by one, there are three thousand people here!" ā
"Long Zheng!"
Looking at Long Zheng, Ando's voice was a little flattering, "Over the years, the Basketball Association has been committed to promoting basketball and popularizing basketball. The shaping of a national star will get twice the result with half the effort for the promotion of basketball. You see, I have just taken office as the propaganda minister of the Basketball Association, and the burden of promoting basketball falls on me alone. But my ability is limited, so you should help me. ā
"You said in front of everyone that I would meet everyone's requests one by one."
Long Zheng complained infinitely in his heart, "Do I still have the right to refuse?" ā
Signature, group photo, signature and group photo............
After a long, long time, Long Zheng finally finished dealing with all the audience, by this time, his face was already stiff with laughter, and his right hand was numb from signing the pen.
Finally, the audience left satisfied, looking at the empty basketball hall, Long Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a smile.
"Oda-kun, can you sign for me?"
Just as he was about to leave, a girl's crisp voice came from behind Long Zheng.
How can there still be people? Didn't they all leave just now? Long Zheng's smile froze on his face, and his body froze in place.
Turning his head slowly, Ryuzheng looked back.
"Haruko, it's you." Seeing the girl's face, Long Zheng was extremely excited, and immediately resurrected with full blood, the small universe exploded, and the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "After the award ceremony, didn't Haruko leave you?"
"Actually, I'm here to thank you."
Looking at Ryumasa, Haruko's cheeks flushed,
"Yesterday, you gave me the ticket and left immediately, and I didn't even have time to thank you. Moreover, I heard my brother say that you are going to report to the national youth team and will not return to Kanagawa for a long time. Speaking of which, Haruko couldn't go on.
"Hmm. Later, I'm going to leave for Tokyo with Ando-senpai, and this is my chance. ā
Ryuzheng took off the MVP medal around his neck and put it in Haruko's hand, looking into Haruko's eyes, Ryumasa said sincerely,
"Haruko and I are good friends, and we can't just sign names. This is the MVP medal of my county competition, and I give it to you. Haruko-san, are you willing to accept it? ā
"Give it to me"
Looking at the MVP words on the medal, Haruko's face flushed and her head lowered, "You gave me the ticket, and now you give me this, I haven't given you a gift." However, I will take this thing. Haruko said, grabbing the medal and running out with a red face.
Haruko took it. Standing in place, looking at Haruko's back, Ryumasa clenched his fists and was extremely excited.
