Chapter 3: Journey to Tokyo (1)

Before leading the team to set off, Suzuki took a leave of absence and came to Tokyo alone, arranging accommodation was only secondary, his main purpose was to arrange his own industry, as well as the layout of overseas investment in the coming year.

In his previous life, he was just an otaku, even if he trained in general education for twelve years and was finally admitted to university, Suzuki still has no professional skills, and his understanding of world events is limited to the part he is interested in.

When the news of Lithuania's declaration of independence spread, Suzuki remembered that the day when the polar bear would fall was not far off.

Fortunately, despite his sluggishness, no one else in the world could have predicted that a polar bear would fall and fall so neatly, and Suzuki still had plenty of time to prepare. This ticket was good, and it was almost changed at the rabbit's house. Suzuki had always wanted to go back to his hometown in his previous life.

Once a rabbit, a rabbit for life.

Huaxia is identity, not bloodline.

There was a joke in later generations that the three East Asian countries did not like each other, and the only time they united was when they were against each other.

Actually, it's the same for polar bears. Anyone who stands up to such an arrogant, greedy and powerful neighbor will be deeply jealous.

Calculating the polar bear, Suzuki does not have a little burden in his heart.

After finishing the business, Suzuki was waiting for the team to arrive.

Akagi is old, Mizuno is smart, and he also has the experience of participating in competitions with the team in other places, so this time it should be a test for them. If you behave well, Suzuki can save a lot of worry when you go to Hiroshima in the summer.

As for the possibility of not going to Hiroshima, Suzuki completely ignored it, he is going to compete with Shoyang this year!

The next day, the bus that the team was traveling in arrived without incident. After all, the distance is very close, and if the road is blocked, it will only take more than an hour.

As a perk, non-regular basketball players can also accompany the team, and Suzuki likes the feeling of having people cheering on the sidelines.

After settling down for a while, Suzuki took the team to Chengcheng High School non-stop, and if the game went well, he would be able to catch dinner after the game.

Sato, the superintendent of Seisei High School, is a middle-aged man who looks very anxious, but is actually only a few years older than Suzuki. The two of them met in the Autumn Country of the year before. That year, Suzuki basically ignored the team's affairs, and took the opportunity to make friends with insiders and expand his network, which was not worth the trip.

Sato shook hands with Suzuki, took the captain Yohei Kawase, and enthusiastically introduced Suzuki and the entire Xiangbei team into the school's basketball hall.

Seonari is a top-ranked team in Tokyo, but it has never been able to appear on the stage of national competitions, and the school has increased its investment while putting a lot of pressure on Sato. Sato welcomed the visit of a strong team like Xiangbei, which had twice qualified from Kanagawa, and he wanted to take this opportunity to measure the strength of his team.

Sato didn't expect that Xiangbei, which failed to qualify in the summer and winter last year, has climbed to the peak in strength this year, and it is not an object that can be referenced.

Suzuki didn't go all the way up and continued to mix. Although it was an encounter, no one knew the details of the opponent, but Sakuragi was on the team, and Suzuki had the confidence to win against any opponent.

That is to say, Sakuragi, the child, was once again pressed on the bench by Suzuki and used as a backhand.

The starters in Xiangbei are center Akagi, power forward Maori, small forward Shakura, point guard Mito and scoring guard Mu Dui. The combination of three third-graders, one second-year and one first-year not only ensured the strength, but also did not let the opponent perceive that Xiangbei had too many leftovers.

Seeing the two giants of Akagi and Maori on the field, there is nothing on the Xiangbei side, and Chengcheng has already begun to talk about it.

Some people said: "It's worthy of a team from Kanagawa, these two inside lines are really high!" ”

The person on the side responded: "Yes." Originally, there was Narumi-kun joining this year, and I think the team's interior height is good, and there is capital to compete with the three kings. But now that I see Xiangbei, I can't compare. ”

Another person pointed to Hotta, Sakuragi and Rukawa on the Xiangbei bench and said, "Look, there are a few tall men sitting down there!" Are Kanagawa's players all monsters? ”

In all fairness, Cheng Cheng's current inside line on the field is already very good, both of them are more than 1.9 meters, which is on par with Maori, but under the backdrop of the tower-like red wood, it does not seem to be a level.

The result of the jump ball also shows the gap between Akagi and the opponent.

In terms of height, speed and strength, Akagi was superior to the opponent's No. 9 center, Narumi, and under Narumi's interference, he also firmly controlled the direction of the ball and passed it to Mito's side.

Mito observed his teammates' movements, took the first step, temporarily avoided the defense of the No. 6 Toyama next to him, and immediately changed hands after receiving the ball, sending the ball to Mori's running route.

Maori strode away, touched the shoulder of the big forward who was following the defense, and continued to cut into the half of the court as if he was not disturbed at all. And Jinbujiu was in shape, his hands raised, barely steady, and he couldn't catch up for the time being.

The two are of similar height, but the gap in confrontation ability is quite large, and the winner is separated in an instant.

got rid of Tsubuku, but Josei's defense didn't end there, and small forward Sakuma let go of the sand warehouse, sprinted towards Maori, and gradually chased closer.

When Mori stepped into the three-point line, Sakuma chased after him, and by the time he reached the free throw line, Sakuma was already half a body ahead of Mori and had time to interfere with Mori's layup.

It's just that Sakuma relied on experience to judge, but he misestimated the means of Maori.

Maori suddenly stopped and jumped into the middle of the shot.

"Won't go in! Grab a rebound! Sakuma saw that Mori's jumping body was a little tilted, and shouted at Tsubuku.

Zibujiu followed up quickly, and instead of going directly to the basket, he stopped in front of Maori and stuck the position first.

Maori didn't fight with him, looked at the basketball that was about to fall, and walked back directly, he was very confident in his shooting skills.

Basketball goes through the basket and scores.

Perhaps because of his previous tennis play, Maori's shooting posture always looks a little awkward, but his hand is also very delicate, and his mid-range shooting rate is very high, not under the old captain Maki.

Listening to the beautiful sound of the basketball wiping the net, Maori smiled, but he was greeted not only by the high-fives of his teammates, but also by the iron fist of the captain Akagi!

Boom!

Akagi punched Maori in half, and reprimanded sharply: "No matter how high your hit rate is, there will inevitably be times when you can't enter." After every shot, you have to go to the basket for me to grab a rebound, and you can't come back until you confirm that the ball is in! The stadium is the battlefield, not the place where you are in the limelight! Do you understand? ”

Why, Maori covered his head and said yes.

After the whip is struck, the sugar cube comes out.

Mu Du stepped forward and explained, "Akagi, it's just a training match, don't be so serious." Mori-kun just scored a beautiful ball. ”

Akagi said: "Even if it's a training match, you can't relax!" ”

After this episode, the players in Xiangbei have lifted their spirits a lot, and the fatigue from afar is suddenly left behind.
