Chapter 293: Sweet Four
With Lingnan's victory over Daei, the semi-finals of the Winter Tournament were all confirmed.
Ryonan from Kanagawa, Sanno from Shohoku and Akita, and famous friends from the host Aichi have jointly built the Sweet Quadruple!
Doesn't it sound familiar?
That's right, it's all four teams in the summer tournament, after all, it's only been a few months, and there are very few teams that shake the top four positions except for the retirement of the third year.
However, although the team is familiar, the process is very different.
Among them, the changes in Sanno's industry are the most obvious, the collapse of the summer competition, and the collective retirement of the third grade have dealt a blow to the strength of Sanno!
This led to the former ruler, who was under great pressure to qualify among the four teams, and only with Zebei's play, he stumbled to defeat his opponent!
The mountain king has a rich talent pool, and it is easy to configure a set of powerful starting combinations for Zebei, but there are also drawbacks, that is, as soon as the newcomers accept the identity of the starter, they often behave a little restrained.
At the time of the prefectural competition, this situation was not obvious, after all, the mountain king was the only overlord in Akita Prefecture, but when it came to the national competition, the strength of the opponent jumped, and the mountain king encountered some unexpected challenges!
Fortunately, with the improvement of adaptability, the newcomers of the Mountain King are gradually coming out.
Shigeo Haruyama is the main point guard in the second year, only 172cm tall, and his speed is not very outstanding, but he is skillful in ball control and has excellent shooting skills.
Hachiro Izawa is the main power forward in the second year, with a height of 190cm, who is good at defense and rebounding, and has quite good footwork on the back offense under the basket.
The two of them are new stars, and they form a new era of the mountain king with Zebei and Kokawada!
The change of the king of the mountain is the most common among the top four, and the retirement of the third grade naturally brings about a decrease in strength.
Like Lingnan, he also suffered this change, and the departure of Uozi and Ikegami once made Coach Taoka scratch his head, but fortunately, Naito's timely filling allowed Lingnan to continue to maintain the advantage of the inside line.
Otherwise, Wang Zhengyang will be as leisurely and leisurely as he is now, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that he will take the initiative to serve as the insider!
And Xiangbei and Mingpeng are much more stable, although Xiangbei's deputy captain Mu Du has retired, but the existence of Daisuke Hirakawa has weakened the role of Brother Glasses infinitely.
And Mingpeng has preserved the main lineup, and the growth of Sen Pang will be the key to their victory.
At the draw ceremony that night, representatives of each team gathered to prepare for the draw of the final four matchups.
The thoughts of each family are also very simple, the other three families are not to touch Lingnan, and Lingnan is not to be the last to appear!
Xiangbei was drawn by Sakuragi, who cried, made trouble and hanged himself, and under the aura of Sakuragi's protagonist, they drew the No. 1 lot.
The next draw was Zebei of the King of the Mountain, and the new captain of the King of the Mountain reached out to stir up the lottery box, and finally got the No. 4 lot.
According to the pre-rules, No. 1 will play No. 3 and No. 2 will play No. 4!
Therefore, the draw will continue, and the third person to appear will determine the final matchup!
I saw Sen's big hand grabbing around in the box, and it took thirty seconds to take out the ball with the number written on it.
"Fatty, you'd better hurry up!" When Sakuragi on the side was already starting to get impatient, Mori Fat rolled his eyes and finally showed the number in his hand!
"It's number three!"
"Good!" The famous players off the field have already cheered, and in their opinion, it is the best choice against Xiangbei!
After all, both teams have stopped in the semi-finals in the summer tournament, which is considered to be the same level of team.
"It's a pity! Let Lingnan escape! Although the Xiangbei players also had joy in their eyes, they pretended to shake their heads.
"Good luck, Lingnan!" Akagi even complained to the Lingnan players on the side.
Because of the retirement of the third grade, Lingnan has no peers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Akagi in terms of seniority, and the captain Xiandao is not the kind of player who is very aggressive.
This gave Akagi a chance to be reckless, but Wang Zhengyang in the Lingnan lineup was not used to him, and stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Senior Akagi, I look forward to you beating Mori Chongkuan!" ”
It was obviously a tone of praise, but Akagi's heart suddenly sudden, and he suddenly felt that it was better to fight against famous friends than against the king of the mountain!
It's not right, the mountain king's Kokawada is not much weaker than Mori Fat, and it is still Lingnan's inner line......
Wait a while, although Lingnan is gone, Naito is also a trouble!
In this way, in terms of tonnage, Kogawada, Mori Fat, and Bald are all types that Akagi doesn't like!
"It's annoying!" The more Akagi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but look at Daisuke Hiragawa, the "ball" of his team!
"Maybe it's a good idea to stop meat with meat!" Of course, Akagi just thinks about this thought, after all, "pork belly" Daisuke Hirakawa and the above three are completely different types.
He belongs to the players with both skills, and the above three are more inclined to physical confrontation!
"Alas, it's still up to me to chisel the inside line!"
Compared with Akagi's gains and losses, Zebei's expression is very exciting, depressed with a little expectation!
If he meets Lingnan too early, it is likely to stop here, but as a basketball player, Zebei is a little excited, and his personal success or failure will not affect the team's victory or defeat!
"Great, do Lingnan!"
"That's right, let them see the strength of the newborn mountain king!"
"Where you fall, you get up!"
The players of the Mountain King are united, and the degree of confidence of the fans surprised Zebei.
"What do you mean, weren't you present when Lingnan overturned the Mountain King?"
Looking at a group of teammates who are not afraid of tigers with newborn calves, Zebei has a black line in his head.
He was considering whether to tell them the story of Wang Zhengyang's smashing of the rebound.
The lottery process was also recorded and broadcast throughout the process, and it had to be cut into the DVD as a tidbit!
And when it came to the semifinals, the paid channel finally stopped recording and broadcasting, but broadcast the whole process live.
The four teams will fight each other on the same day, and Xiangbei and Mingpeng will be the first to appear.
And when their game is over, the duel between Lingnan and the Mountain King will follow!
Zebei is a person who is not willing to be lonely, he thought about finding Lingnan to say something cruel before the game, but a person is not very imposing, and the most important thing is that he is easy to be beaten, so he pulled Xiaohetian and went to Lingnan together.
It's not that Xiaoheda has any threat, the main thing is that he is wide and slow, and once there is a problem, he can buy precious time for Zebei's escape!
Sure enough, "pit juniors" is the tradition of the mountain king, but Zebei keeps making psychological hints in his heart.
"It's all your brother's fault, you're just paying off the debt!"
Zebei, who had no worries, came to Lingnan with great dignity.
"Hey, Kitazawa!" Xiandao greeted warmly.
However, Zebei didn't pay attention to this man who liked to call his wrong name, but pointed at Wang Zhengyang and shouted: "The surname Wang, don't think that if I lose to you, it means that the King of the Mountain cannot defeat Lingnan!" Teams and individuals are different! ”
Regarding Zebei's sudden provocation, Wang Zhengyang nodded very calmly: "Well said, he is worthy of being the captain of the Mountain King, he is really imposing!" good! ”
Zebei: .........
If Zebei came from the next generation, he would definitely understand that he was poured a cup of poisoned milk by Wang Zhengyang just now!
Which one is still the freshest!
