Chapter 168: The Top Eight in the Country
Fuji and Nanlie were carried off the field together, and Fengyu's Nanlie thought that he could replace the two generals of Xiangbei in a game, so that he could bring victory to Fengyu, and even the rest of Fengyu had such thoughts.
But first, Xiangbei stabilized first through Akagi and Miyagi, and in addition, Yukimura in the second half was also very good, and Fujiwara, the captain of Toyotama under his defense, the second scoring champion of Toyotama only scored 5 points in the entire second half! In Fuji's absence, his importance to Fujiwara's defensive blockade is even more important.
Secondly, Fuji, who was slightly injured, simply treated the wound and returned to the game. The match, which had been delayed by an injury pause, had three minutes to go, and a minute later, Toyoyu's Nam Yeol was back in action.
Although Fuji has pain, he does not change his fierce style of play, and the tiger launches a wave of attacks like a mountain, his eyes seem to be holding fire, whether it is his eyes or his attack, it makes people perceive that this player is full of suppressed anger.
When Nan Lie returned to the field, Feng Yu was already 10 points behind Xiangbei, and the return of this ace failed to turn the tide for Feng Yu, his godless gaze and helpless expression revealed his inner vulnerability, especially when he saw Fuji still running on the court, still proud and wanton.
Nan Lie is deeply trapped in his negative emotions, after all, the trump card is just a mortal! He instinctively competed with skill and indictment, but he lost his strength after the sword went off the rails, failed to keep his heart, and was finally beaten by Fuji on the court.
The match was over the moment Fuji returned to the game, but the final outcome was still waiting for the remaining time to run out.
In the end, Xiangbei won the game with 88 points and Fengyu with 76 points, and successfully entered the next round of the game. In this game, Fuji, who only scored 9 points in the first half, exploded in the second half and scored 21 points, and a total of 30 points became the top scorer in the game.
In addition, Xiangbei center Akagi Gangxian followed with 22 points, and the scores of Akagi and Fuji alone exceeded 50 points. In addition to scoring, Akagi and Miyagi are also the rebounding and assist kings of this game, respectively.
The process of this game is bumpy for Xiangbei, the accident that can not be encountered once in the past three months is stunned in a game twice in a row, not to mention that each accident may affect the team and the result of the game, but Xiangbei still survived, with the excellent performance of all the players, and also by virtue of the coach's sitting, this group of young people who entered the national competition stage for the first time successfully entered the national quarterfinals!
The team of Fengyu and Xiangyang in Kanagawa Prefecture are really two impressive and similar teams, one does not listen to the coach and the other does not have a coach.
In the afternoon, the last four matches of the third round of the national competition also came to an end. The top eight teams of the national competition were also announced.
The king from Akita, Sanwang Industries, crushed his opponent with his hegemonic posture and advanced without surprise. The other four seeded teams also advanced to the quarterfinals, without losing their face as seeded teams, which means that none of the five seeded teams in the national top eight will be left behind.
In addition to the five seeded teams, Shizuoka Prefecture's Tsunekoto and Fukui Prefecture's Horigaka each defeated their opponents to victory, while Kanagawa Prefecture's Xiangbei occupied the last unseeded place in the quarterfinals.
This result shocked many sports media, of course, except for the other seven teams in Xiangbei, it should be reasonable. Hori, Pufa, Tsunekoto and Toyotama are the teams recognized by all media colleagues as being able to make it to the top four, first of all, all four of them are regulars in national competitions, and most of them are also well-known teams with consistent results in the top eight.
But in terms of strength, even if these teams upset the seeded team Luoan or individual teams in the top four in the first two rounds, it is a possible situation. Therefore, all four teams have the potential to make it to the quarterfinals. But what about Xiangbei? Most of the people of this team that was rated as C before the game were not optimistic about them, but they successfully upset an old strong team with stable results in the quarterfinals all year round.
At the same time, two of the eight teams in the top eight are from the same county-level qualifiers, which is the first time in recent years.
Many writers looked at Xiangbei and Hainan on the list, as well as Kanagawa in parentheses after their names, and smiled meaningfully, "This year's national competition is very interesting!" ”
Of course, it's interesting to see the next round of the eight-in-four match, in which two teams from Kanagawa will face last year's national top four Aiwa Gakuin and fifth-seeded Luoan High School, respectively.
Not to mention the previous game, just talking about the match between the latter Hainan University and the fifth seed Luoan High School, it is full of highlights.
Luoan from Kyoto Prefecture and Toyotama and Daiei from Osaka Prefecture (this year's Daiei, who had not yet risen and lost in the first three rounds) are all teams from the Regional Division. Luoan was seeded fifth because they defeated Osaka Prefecture's Toyotama in the Regional Qualifiers in April, and then won the Kyoto Qualifiers in June to secure their fifth seeding for Kyoto.
Many media people, especially those from Kyoto, believe that this year's Luoan is fully capable of the top four. Luo An unsurprisingly made it to the quarter-finals and will first challenge last year's semi-finalists, Hainan University, for a place in the semi-finals with just four.
This will probably be the most exciting and intense game in the eight-in-four competition, and everyone thinks that the two teams should be evenly matched, and it should be compared to the other three games.
The other three eight-in-four matches are Hakata Business University Affiliated and Changcheng, Sanno Industry and Hori, and Xiangbei and Aihe!
Mountain King and Hakata were last year's champion and Asian teams, although Chang Cheng and Hori are more brilliant national teams, but the core players in the team remain the same, the lineup and style have not been greatly changed, in the eyes of the media, such a configuration and intensity, may be able to challenge Aihe and Hainan University, in the face of Mountain King and Hakata, there is a chance but the chance to win is not big.
In the same way, everyone's views on Xiangbei are quite similar, although Xiangbei can overturn Fengyu to surprise everyone and impress it, but this does not mean that Xiangbei will have a greater chance of winning in the face of love and peace.
What kind of team is Fengyu, don't these old fritters-like reporters have a B number in their hearts? The RUN&GUN tactics that have lasted for many years, but their own configuration is unreasonable, and they can't find a center who can dominate the national competition stage, which will put their shooter lineup in a very embarrassing situation! I heard that there is an extremely good center forward in Xiangbei, so it is no wonder that Fengyu will lose.
What's more, the contradictions within the Fengyu team are also very serious, after the change of coach, not only did not change the team's tactical style, but also became more extreme than before, unable to recognize the situation of the game in time is their biggest problem, and it is also the biggest impact of the players not listening to the coach.
