Chapter Seventy-Nine: Miyagi Isn't Coming

As Sakuragi's body grows, the weight on his wrists has little effect on him, but when facing an opponent of Hiiragi's level, his movements will still be slower, and he will have to rely on strength, prediction and other aspects to make up for it.

Suzuki asked, "What do you think of this Rukawa Kaede?" ”

Sakuragi smiled, "It's a good opponent." ”

Suzuki said: "Then find a way to pull him to Xiangbei." ”

Sakuragi let out an "oh" and suddenly said, "Uncle Suzuki, there is something I want to tell you." He's embarrassed to tell you in person. ”

Suzuki was a little puzzled and asked, "Who?" What's up? ”

Sakuragi replied, "It's Miyagi." He said he didn't want to come to Xiangbei next year. ”

Suzuki was a little strange and asked, "Did anyone tell him anything?" ”

Sakuragi nodded, "Yes." Coach Taoka approached him and persuaded him to go to Lingnan. ”

Suzuki said, "How is that possible? ”

When Ooka went to find Miyagi, Suzuki was not surprised. However, according to Suzuki's memory, Miyagi rejected Taoka in the original world line, so Suzuki never took Taoka to heart.

Sakuragi didn't know the basis for Suzuki not to believe Miyagi's decision to go to Lingnan, and he replied, "How is it impossible?" In our team, Endo is in the second grade, Mizuno is only in the first grade, and Miyagi is only playing as a substitute when he comes. Having played each other, I don't think Miyagi can take a starting point from either of them, including Miyagi himself. Looking at the other high school teams in the county now, there are only five or six that can be put on the table. The strongest Xiangyang has Fuji Zhen, and Hainan has Akaji and Mu Shenyi, all of which are in short demand. Then there are Wuyuan and Lingnan, both of which are not good point guards. As the MVP of this year's junior high school, Miyagi naturally wants to go to a team that is not bad and can play the main team. Everyone can see what Wuyuan looks like, but I'm afraid that if Hayama Kotaro leaves next year, this team may not even be able to get the quarterfinals. In this way, Lingnan is naturally the best choice. With Yuzhu and Kakumatsu here, even if Lingnan is not strengthened, it will still be very competitive next year. Moreover, if you don't choose Lingnan, the strength of Sunrise West, Buri, and Miuradae will be lowered by another notch. ”

After listening to Sakuragi's tirade, Suzuki was silent for a while, and sighed: "Okay, let him go, Xiangbei is indeed not the best choice for him." However, I'm curious, Sakuragi, you didn't come up with such a big paragraph of words, did you? Did Miyagi teach you? ”

Sakuragi shook his head and said, "No, these are what I discussed with him. Miyagi has been playing in junior high school, and he is not at all more familiar with the high school team than me. In fact, he originally wanted to tell you that there was only one reason why he couldn't come to Xiangbei. ”

Suzuki asked curiously, "Which one?" ”

Sakuragi seemed to remember something funny, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he spoke: "The reason Miyagi originally thought of was that it was close to home!" ”

Suzuki was dizzy, isn't this the reason Rukawa said when he rejected Taoka!

Sakuragi laughed, "It's ridiculous, isn't it?" That's why I discussed the previous passage with him. However, this reason is not entirely nonsense. Miyagi's home is on Enoshima, and the distance from Xiangbei to Lingnan is actually about the same, and it is really closer to Lingnan. ”

Suzuki waved his hand and said, "That's it." You can take advantage of that Rukawa Kaede. If you let it go again, you will be tired by then. ”

The match against Hainan was imminent, and Suzuki did not have the energy to focus on the formation of the team in the next two years, so he hastily cooked dinner and returned to the study to continue studying the video.

Nothing was said all night.

In the end, the match with Hainan was still placed in the Fujisawa City Gymnasium, which is the home of Xiangbei.

Given that it is almost impossible for Xiangyang to lose to Wuyuan, the players of the two teams of Xiangbei and Hainan, who have already qualified from Kanagawa Prefecture, look relatively easy. The outcome of this game is just to determine who will directly participate in the main match and who will play one more play-off.

At 10 o'clock, the game officially started.

Hainan really sent Liang Chuan, Daimun, Ohara, Akaji and Mu, the five strongest people, but whether they will play double point guards or single point guards is still unknown.

However, Suzuki's lineup that started Mu Du has achieved at least half of the purpose, and the players in Xiangbei can start the game directly according to the established policy.

In the opening jump ball, Akagi challenged Liang Chuan, the second center in the county, with great momentum.

The official evaluation in the prefecture has always been only BEST5 and MVP, but in private, there has always been no shortage of N big centers, forwards, and guards such as position-based selections.

In the position of center, Akagi, who has always been the starting center in Xiangbei, has been rated as one of the four centers in the county, and in terms of ranking, it is second only to Honglin in Xiangyang and Liangchuan in Hainan.

When Akagi and Ryokawa stood together in the center circle, many spectators were shouting, "This is a clash between the second-ranked center in the prefecture and the third-ranked center"!

But Akagi's brain is not stupid, he is a very smart and rational person. He clearly knew that his strength had not reached the level where he could compete with Honglin and Liang Chuan. To be ranked among the four major center forwards, he relies more on the team's results than his own strength.

Not to mention the distance, it's just that the captain of Xiangbei, who is close at hand, is Maki, and Akagi knows that he is not an opponent yet. This year, he was able to play the main team as soon as he came up, on the one hand, because of Coach Suzuki's support for cultivating reserve strength, and on the other hand, it was also due to the fact that Maki was left in the center position, which limited his strength.

In a similar situation to Zhenmu, there are also the two main strikers of Xiangyang and Hainan, Tuqiao and Damen. These two people are placed in other teams, and they must be the main centers that cannot be beaten, that is, in the two giants, they were squeezed into the position of big forward.

In addition to these three people, Nakahara also has a strong strength, and Akagi is not an opponent yet.

In addition, along the way, Lingnan's Yuju, Xiangyang's Hanagata, and Buri's Midorikawa are also very good opponents, and the victory and defeat with Akagi are also on the line.

Therefore, Akagi did not really think of himself as the third in the prefecture, but played very smart in the tough, just like this first jump ball.

From the initial tactics, Akagi was not ready to beat Liang Chuan on the jump ball, but he just didn't let Liang Chuan take the ball calmly.

Akagi's bouncing ability and ability to stay in the air are very good, and when Liang Chuan grabbed the ball in his hand with his height advantage and was about to pass it to Akaji, Akagi's hand arrived, hit the ball hard, and flew the racket out.
