Suzuki had heard of the mountain king's strength in Akita Prefecture for a long time, but it wasn't until he heard the words of the white-haired old man that he really felt the so-called unbeatable powerhouse.

This is something that cannot be felt in Kanagawa.

Kanagawa is a fierce battle zone.

The so-called Guild War Zone is a team with multiple teams of similar level, and no matter which opponent they face, they need to go all out to win.

Don't look at the past three years, Xiangyang is a standout, dominating the country, but before Atsushi Ziyuan and others joined, Xiangyang was just a common county-level strong team, although it can often appear in the national competition, but that is only thanks to the blessing of Kanagawa with two qualifying places, and the overall results are inferior to Hainan University that failed to qualify this year.

With a group of talented players, it is easy to dominate for a while, but talented players are not available every year, and they cannot be gathered in a team every time, which shows the preciousness of the honor of the mountain king.

In the first year of Coach Anzai's tenure, Shoyang got Atsushi Shihara, Shogo Ashizaki and Osamu Igarashi, and the following year he joined Okazaki Hama and Miura Ranmaru, but this year, for the time being, only Shoichiro Roubayashi can see it.

If there are no more talented players to join, then even Coach Anxi will be difficult to cook without rice, seeing Xiangyang weaken year by year, turning back into an ordinary county-level strong team, and it will be difficult to have a chance to reach the top of the country.

Only Suzuki knows that this common reincarnation fate will not appear immediately, but will uncharacteristically continue the prosperity of Xiangyang and become a dynasty that is enough to be praised for many years.

It's been a long time since Suzuki couldn't remember who Shoyo would join next year, but he clearly remembered that when this group of people was in the third grade, they would make it to the national tournament again under the leadership of sophomore Fuji Shin, and finally fell to Toyotama in the national quarterfinals under the unsportsmanlike killing tactics of Toyotama in the national quarterfinals.

Even if Atsushi Ziyuan leaves, it is still extremely difficult for Xiangbei to obtain the right to qualify for the national competition.

Suzuki, who was very emotional in his heart, saw that the next game was about to start, so he cleaned up his mood, turned on the camera, and concentrated on filming this game. The winner of this game is basically Xiangbei's opponent in the play-offs.

The two sides in the second match were Yosen, who won Odate International in the first round, and Kitaka, who lost to Sanno.

Long before coming to Akita, Suzuki already knew the results of the first round.

Odam International lost most of its first game to Yosen, which was ruled out early among Suzuki's possible opponents. Their performance against the Mountain King just now also confirmed this. There is no fighting spirit, and the skills and tactics are inferior to others, this kind of opponent, not to mention Xiangbei, pull out the top eight and sixteen teams in Kanagawa County, and there are many people who can win.

Suzuki's focus is on Yangquan, which has already won one.

"Hiss," Momoi exclaimed in surprise as he took a breath of relief, "this center is so tall." ”

Momoi was talking about Yangquan's center who was jumping the ball with the North Eagle.

Yangquan center's hand is 20 centimeters higher than the opponent's, and he easily controls the ball.

"yes, this is their captain, Okamura." Suzuki recalled the little information about Yangquan University in his mind and said, "There is also a player on their team who is more than 2 meters tall, and he is an international student from China. The name seems to be Liu Wei. ”

Before Suzuki's words fell, the basketball had already passed a few times and came to the basket of the North Hawk. Another giant of Yangquan, No. 11 Liu Wei, turned around after receiving the ball, and threw the basketball into the basket with a slight tiptoe.

"This style of play is too bullying!" Momoi said.

In stark contrast to Yangquan, who has two giants, although the height of the players of the North Eagle is not bad in the eyes of ordinary people, generally above 175cm, but none of them exceed 190cm, and even the center has to jump up in order to interfere with Yangquan's inside score.

"The game seems to be one-sided again." Momoi said with some boredom.

"Not necessarily." Suzuki said, "Basketball is a sport for tall people, but you don't have to be tall to play basketball well. ”

Seeing that the North Eagle immediately launched a follow-up counterattack after conceding the goal, Suzuki praised: "The North Eagle's tactics are very right. If you can't fight at the height, it's faster than the speed. ”

However, after a few rounds, Suzuki shook his head and said, "I take back what I just said, this game is indeed no more suspenseful." ”

The twin towers of Yangquan may look terrifying, but they are actually not invulnerable. Compared with the combination of Shoyang's Atsushi Shihara and Shogo Ashizaki, they are much inferior in all aspects, especially in athleticism, at most they can catch up with Shoichiro Hirobayashi.

The Northern Eagles play fast offense, and tactically they are completely opposed. Okamura and Liu Wei, the two big and tall men, simply had no ability to quickly run back to their baskets to defend after the North Hawk scored under the basket.

"Yangquan has a good commander!" Suzuki was amazed, "I don't see anything special about my physique, but this defense is really good." Could it be that this Akita is rich in commanding defensive outside lines? ”

The old man in the front row came to help Suzuki answer questions in a timely manner and said: "This Fukui, who used to play for a year at the King of the Mountain, never played, and then transferred to another school somehow." ”

Under Fukui's command, the remaining three of Yangquan returned to defense quickly, and their running position made it difficult for the point guard of the North Hawk to send the ball out smoothly, and the fast attack of the North Hawk was not smooth.

After all, the field of the basketball court is not big, and after a delay of two or three seconds, Okamura and Liu Wei came back no matter how slow they were.

Fukui controlled the tempo of the court well, and the attack was slow, which fully wore down the patience of the Northern Hawks players.

Because of the disadvantage of height, the North Hawk couldn't get the rebound at all, and after Yangquan's two tall men took the rebound, if they couldn't score directly, they continued to pass out, and they didn't shoot until ten or twenty seconds later.

"It's too ugly." Momoi is used to the fast-paced offense and defense of the Kanagawa team, and now he is very uncomfortable when he sees Yangquan's warm style of play.

"It's too utilitarian." Suzuki expressed his opinion, "They only care about winning with the most effective means, they don't care if they play well or not, whether they play happily or not." ”

"In order to win, will you make Xiangbei like this?" Momoi asked.

"I was tempted to say, 'Of course not,' but not so long ago, I almost made the same mistake as them. In order to retain the strength to fight Lingnan, I once signaled Dahe to retain his strength in the battle against Xiangyang. Suzuki thought for a moment and replied, "But from now on, I'll try my best to avoid this kind of mistake." For college basketball, it's more important to have fun. In the end, only one team can win the championship, but the joy is something that can be gained by both sides in the competition. Unless one day I'm not in this position, I won't allow Xiangbei to play like this. ”

Momoi smiled and said, "I'll keep watching from the sidelines." ”
