Before coming to the United States, Kazuo Domoto repeatedly watched the footage of the Oak Hill basketball team in the hope of finding the weaknesses of his opponents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The trouble is that all the previous main players of Oak Hill have left, and the current nine players have all been substitutes and rarely get the opportunity to play, and Kazuo Domoto is blind and ignorant of them.

Nine Oak Hill players, two over 200 cm tall, five 195-199 cm tall, and two 190 cm tall.

Kazuo Domoto empathized and thought that if he had this good deck, he would definitely use tall players to attack the inside, and at the very least, build a no-fly zone in the penalty area, so that the opponent would lose the courage to break into the penalty area.

In order to play against the Oak Hill High School basketball team, Kazuo Domoto can only rely on players like Ryumasa who have both height and skill.

In the eyes of Domoto Kazukuma, the four players in the team who are more than 190 cm tall are only Ryumasa, Akagi Goken, and Kawada Masashi.

Among them, Long Zheng belongs to the panacea, and all five positions can be competent; Tsuyoshi Akagi, who has healed from his feet, is skilled on the inside and can be used as a power forward; Masashi Kawada was originally a guard, but because his height grew by 25cm in a year, his position became a small forward, and then a center, and the change of position made him a big weight in Kazuo Domoto's heart.

As for Mori Shigekuan, he is an absolute potential star in Japan, but in the face of the more physical Oak Hill players, his rough skills have become his dead end, not only can not help on the field, but will also cause chaos.

After a brief warm-up, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the match. The starting lineups of the two teams couldn't help but be exposed in front of everyone.

Japanese High School Team, Starting List:

Oak Hill High School Basketball Team, Starting List:

Center forward and captain on the field: No. 5 Kevin Garnett, 209 cm tall and 109 kg in weight;

Power forward: No. 9 Paul Pearce, 198 cm tall and 103 kg in weight;

In the center circle, Ryuzheng and Kevin Garnett stood in position and prepared to scramble for the ball.

"Kevin, I heard you're the captain?" Looking at Kevin Garnett, who was half a head taller than himself, Long Zheng took the initiative to talk.

Hearing Ryuzheng's words, Kevin Garnett's body seemed to tremble.

"Old captain, my captain deserves a lot of suffering!"

Speaking of which, Kevin Garnett was aggrieved.

A few months ago, with the departure of the six main players of Long Zheng one after another, the position of captain was vacant. The Oak Hill basketball team believes in the survival of the fittest, the captain's position, and the capable live in it.

In the process of competing for the captain, even Jermaine O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, two first-year students, jumped out.

One vs one singles, warm-up matches, shooting competitions, nine players have used various methods of competition, but because they belong to different positions, there has been no conclusion, and no one is convinced.

There was really no way, and head coach Steve Smith had no choice but to make the most mature Kevin Garnett captain.

Who knows, head coach Steve Smith's move directly stabbed the hornet's nest. For a player like Kobe Bryant, who is talented and rebellious, you can't beat him head-on, he won't accept your leadership at all. Three years ago, when Long Zheng took over the position of captain of the Oak Hill High School basketball team, it also took a lot of effort to defeat all the players who were competing for the captain's position one by one before conquering the whole team and finally sitting on the captain's position.

The head coach didn't dare to resist, but Kevin Garnett, the captain who didn't live up to his name, everyone had a way. Thus, Kevin Garnett's sad days began.

In the usual training, Kobe Bryant and others would not obey his orders, and what made him dumbfounded was that Kobe Bryant's eight people blatantly formed an alliance to exclude him.

Fortunately, until now, the five graduates of Alan Iverson are still in Oak Hill, and they will still shine on him when they see his tragic situation, but when he thinks of the tragic situation of himself after the five Alan Iverson left, Kevin Garnett wants to cry without tears.

Without giving Long Zheng and Kevin Garnett much time to talk, the referee threw the ball high and the two jumped up at the same time.

Long Zheng and Kevin Garnett, neither of them are orthodox centers, and the reason why they are placed in the center position is due to their height and bounce.

In mid-air, Kevin Garnett was slightly taller than Ryuzheng and racked the ball back to his own half, and the height difference of 10 centimeters was not an ornament.

After possession, Stephen Marbury pushed forward quickly and Oak Hill launched a fast attack.

Getting rid of Kaede Rukawa, who tried to steal, Marbury burst into the three-point line. In the face of Masashi Kawada's supplementary defense, Marbury faked a real pass, and a return pass directly tore apart the defense of the representative team.

At the three-point line, Kobe Bryant received Marbury's return pass and hit an easy three-point shot when no one was guarded.

(The three-point line for high schools and colleges in the U.S. is the same as the three-point line distance for FIBA and shorter than the three-point line distance for the NBA.) ）

3:0, in the first game of the warm-up game, Oak Hill Middle School took the lead in scoring, and only seven seconds passed from Kevin Garnett's scrum to Kobe Bryant's three-point shot.

Looking at the timer on the sidelines, Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others knew that the strength of Oak Mountain had just been revealed, and greater difficulties were yet to come. (To be continued.) )
