Suzuki has heard of the Kanayama business in Niigata Prefecture. This team is a well-deserved dominator in the county, and has also achieved good results in national competitions and the Winter Cup. However, in the past two years, they have taken the Huagai luck, and every year they have met a strong team at the beginning and were eliminated early.

In the second round of the national competition the year before, they met Hori, the seeded team who was waiting for work, and after a fierce battle, they were eliminated. After that, Hori became more and more courageous, eliminating Hainan and Sanwang in a row, and finally won the national championship that year.

Last summer, Jinshan Commercial made a comeback, but in the second round, they met Xiangyang, who was in full swing, and once again went home early, and defeated their Xiangyang, and finally won the championship.

Jinshan Commercial had even worse luck in the Winter Cup than in the Summer Tournament, and for two consecutive years, they met the top four teams in the first round, Hakata the year before and the King of the Mountains last year.

It can be said that the current group of people in Jinshan Business have been gearing up to seek revenge from the king of the mountain all the time for more than half a year. The organizing committee of the event asked them to be responsible for stopping the king of the mountain, which can be regarded as finding the right person.

Thinking of this, Suzuki shook his head self-deprecatingly. Thinking about what to do so much, even if he made targeted arrangements, whether he could defeat the Mountain King or not, he still had no bottom in his heart.

The mountain king he is targeting is the mountain king two months ago, in these two months, the strength of the Xiangbei players has made great progress, so the strength of the mountain king players, has it stopped?

Suzuki is not willing to make a fool of himself.

It is the one who pins the hope of victory on the weakness and mistakes of the opponent that is truly cowardly and stupid.

Now there is only one way to do our best, and to obey the destiny of heaven.

With this thought in mind, Suzuki fell into a deep sleep.

It's finally August 1st.

Early in the morning, when Suzuki knocked on the door of the room and called for people to get up, he still saw many sleepy faces with dark circles under his eyes.

There's no way, it's the first time to come to this level of big scenes, even if you have already targeted prevention and warning, it is inevitable that some people can't sleep with excitement.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the five starting players, Miyagawa, Yoshino, Maki, Endo and Oga, were well rested and did not go wrong.

Suzuki drove Aoki, Imai, and Yanagisawa back to the room to continue to catch up on sleep, and then took the rest of the people to the reserved restaurant to eat.

When they came back, the three of them who had an extra hour of sleep seemed to be much more energetic.

After a short rest, the Xiangbei basketball team set off to the Yoyogi Gymnasium, where the opening ceremony was held.

This stadium is full of tension on the outside, and was designed and built by Kenzo Tange, the first person in the architectural field of the island nation, for the 1964 Olympic Games. Since its inception, it has become a landmark in Tokyo.

The Yoyogi Gymnasium is divided into the main hall and the secondary hall, the main hall is the swimming pool, and the secondary hall is the ball hall, which is also the place where the opening ceremony of today's conference, the oath-taking ceremony, and the subsequent promotion additional games are held.

Upon arrival, the team was separated from their fellow supporters and was first introduced to the venue by the staff.

When he arrived at the scene, he stood still, and Minami Tara Kan Cod came over with Mr. Nishizawa, the real boss of Kanagawa Prefecture, who was rumored to be going to be promoted, to cheer for Xiangbei.

Not long after, the two teams of Xiangyang and Lingnan also arrived, and Mr. Nishizawa naturally turned there to offer condolences, while Minami Tara remained here in Xiangbei and continued to talk with Suzuki.

Suzuki smiled, "Can the ancestors not follow along?" I understand exactly what you mean. We won't give up until the last second. Actually, I would like to ask more, why don't you have more expectations for Xiangbei? ”

Nan Tara's expression was no longer calm, and his unchanged smile changed to a wild laugh, and he pointed at Suzuki to see that he was still full of confidence, and the doubts in his laughter gradually disappeared, replaced by anticipation and heartfelt joy.

He patted Suzuki on the shoulder and said loudly, "Good! I'm waiting for your performance! With that, Minami Tara turned around and walked towards Xiangyang's team.

The speeches at the opening ceremony are always stinky and long, without any new ideas. Looking back on the past, looking to the present, looking forward to the future. Underneath the flowery article are rows of sleepy contestants.

Just when some guys with poor physical strength were a little unsteady on their feet and were about to stagger, the speech finally came to an end, and it was time to take the oath.

The players on the field were shocked and shouted in their loudest voices: I will wait for the participating players to ......

In previous years, after the oath was taken, the participating teams would have to leave the stadium one by one, return to their accommodation to rest, and wait for tomorrow's game.

However, this year, thanks to the addition of a play-off link, two teams stayed on the pitch to make a final push for their place in the game.

Before leaving, Suzuki had already asked the players to change their game clothes and put on their jackets and trousers, so that everyone could warm up as soon as they took off their clothes and pants.

There were many female fans in the stands on the sidelines, and when they saw the Xiangbei team changing their clothes in public, they first let out a burst of screams, and then saw that it was actually the clothing of the game, and the screams turned into a sigh.

Nishizawa and Minami Taliang were sitting in the stands, and when they heard the screams, Nishizawa pointed to the players in Xiangbei and said, "This junior in Xiangbei you said is really not particular about doing things. ”

Nan Duoliang smiled: "It seems to be immoral, but in this way, they can get more practical benefits than their opponents." ”

Because the time for the leader to speak was extended as always, the little warm-up time was taken up, and now there are less than ten minutes before the start of the game.

The players and coaches of the King of the Mountain looked at the Xiangbei basketball team that started to warm up first, and smiled bitterly at each other, they didn't expect this trick, so they had to trot to the locker room to change their clothes. By the time they returned, there were only three minutes left to warm up, and each of the five starters had missed two shots, and the game was about to begin.

Suzuki had everyone sit in a circle and said, "No one is optimistic about us, everyone thinks we're going to lose to Sanno." I ask one last time, what do you guys think? ”

Dahe said in a deep voice: "I want to win!" ”

Yoshino said at the same time: "I don't want to lose!" ”

Miyagawa let out an "um" in agreement.

Endo and Maki went on to say, "Me too." ”

Suzuki said, "Yo Xi! That's what I thought, too. Just now, I said the same thing to Minami Tara-san. Think about what we've been training so hard for these two months? We're not here to lose! Now, shout our slogans! ”

"Don't! Mr. Suzuki! ”

"What a shame!"

"Isn't that okay?"

Suzuki asked rhetorically, "Can shouting a slogan be more humiliating than losing?" If you win this one, everyone will recognize our slogan! Three, two, one, shout now! ”
