Chapter 140: Lingnan Grouping
"Hikoichi?!" Hikoichi's junior high school classmate called out.
Is it called Phaeton? Hikoichi had forgotten his name, but he grinned politely at him.
"It's you?!" Kishimoto also recognized Hikochi.
"Bastard, are you looking for death!" The player with Fengyu shouted and scolded, and was about to rush up.
Everyone on the Lingnan team also stood up, seeing that the scene was about to become more and more chaotic.
"What happened? What are you doing! "The police came, and the two sides did not dare to make any more noise, and the scene was finally controlled, and the conflict did not escalate again.
In fact, don't look at Fengyu's fierce people, they are caught between Lingnan and Xiangbei at this time, and they don't have a bottom in their hearts.
"Hmph, a bunch of fools who don't think about it, take a good look at this book." Seeing that he couldn't fight, Kishimoto could only spray two sentences, "I see that you Kanagawa are already lonely, and you are still talking about the king of the mountain?" Wake up! β
After Kishimoto finished speaking, he turned around and left, and everyone in Kanagawa was inexplicable.
Finally, Xiangbei found something in the magazine in his hand.
"Xiangbei: Comprehensive Evaluation, c. No. 4 Akagi is a good center forward and the backbone of the team. Let's see if they can have an unexpected performance! The goal is to break through in the first battle!! β
Look at the top and bottom, Sanno Industry, comprehensive evaluation AA; Fengyu, comprehensive evaluation a!
Everyone in Xiangbei was silent for a while, they didn't expect to be so unfavorable!
Hikoyi also came over, crowded into the Xiangbei team, and looked for Lingnan High School in that magazine.
Finally, it was found in the bottom left corner.
"Lingnan High School: Comprehensive Evaluation, B. The strength of the team is relatively average, and it is a team with good coordination, and it is worth mentioning that the center Yuzhu has a height of more than two meters. Replace Hainan to become the top four seeds, I don't know how far I can go? β
It's just a B? Just a good fit? It's worth mentioning that only Yuzumi's height is ?! These reporters don't do investigations, and Hainan has been eliminated. Hikoichi thought it was at least an A, but it seems that he was thinking too much.
Hikoichi looked for Daei again, and sure enough, it was A-grade.
"By the way," Kishimoto, who had already walked to the door, stopped again, as if thinking of something funny, turned his head and said, "There are still magazines that say that the goal of the Lingnan team is to win the championship?" Take a look at this official magazine and recognize the reality, hahahaha! β
"He's talking about the article that Yayoi published. However, Hikoichi felt that although the article was a bit arrogant, it was not funny at all.
--------------------------------------------------
There are three major events in Japanese high school basketball, namely the summer national competition, the autumn national sports and the winter selection.
Among them, the national competition is the one with the most attention, and it is the highest stage for high school basketball.
Autumn is based on the county, each county selects strong players to form a team, and each county competes for the championship. The team formed in this way is strong in all positions, but the coordination is relatively poor. In previous years, Kanagawa selected players from Hainan University and Xiangyang, and it had nothing to do with Lingnan.
The Winter Trials can be regarded as a low-profile version of the national competition, and it is also participated in by schools, but only one team from each county can fight their way out of the encirclement and enter the national stage. The Winter Trials have fewer teams and shorter schedules.
In short, the summer national tournament is the biggest high school basketball carnival in Japan, and the whole of Hiroshima is bustling with people attending and watching the games everywhere.
In the morning, the teams gathered in the gymnasium for the opening ceremony of the national competition and the oath of the players.
After the ceremony, Yayoi ran to find Hikoichi and told him to pay attention to his diet for the past two days and try not to go out at night. After all, she still cares about Hikoichi very much. Also, she didn't stay in a hostel with the Lingnan team in the end, and the editorial department arranged accommodation in advance.
At noon, the hostel where the Lingnan team stayed.
This hostel is like a homestay, the space is much larger than the last time I lived in the training, and the Lingnan team is not crowded when everyone gathers in Coach Taoka's room, and this room is also equipped with a TV, which is unique.
Coach Taoka summoned everyone over to discuss the schedule, and he laid out the schedule on the bed for everyone to look at.
"We're the 29th."
"Huh? The seeding team in Aichi Prefecture has also changed this year? It's not love and academy anymore! β
"Wow, Xiangbei and the king of the mountainγLove and in a group! What bad luck! β
"Are there any other strong teams in our group? I don't even know it! β
Everyone talked about it, but in fact, they didn't know much about the situation of the national teams, and only knew some well-known strong teams.
A total of 59 teams from 47 prefectures across the country participated in the National High School Basketball Tournament in Japan. Most prefectures have only one qualifying spot, and only those with strong strength or a large number of schools have more places, such as Kanagawa, Aichi, Osaka and other prefectures, while Tokyo belongs to the latter, it has three places due to too many schools, and it is also the only region in Japan with three teams participating in the national tournament.
The teams that enter the national competition are divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D, and teams from the same prefecture will not meet in the group.
At the same time, the county that won the semi-finals last year has seeded qualifications, and the first place in the county will be seeded as the team next year and enjoy a bye in the first round. Since there are 59 teams, an additional team is drawn to get a bye in the first round.
The Lingnan team qualified with Kanagawa this time, and last year Hainan University was the third, so the Lingnan team occupied a seeded team and had a bye in the first round.
Specifically, the Lingnan team, with a draw number of 29, is in Group B, and due to a bye in the first round, their first match will face the winner between Ma Miyani High School from Iwate and Seiho High School from Miyazaki.
The match between these two teams will be played tomorrow afternoon.
"Okay, everyone has seen the schedule too," Coach Taoka began to speak, and everyone immediately stopped talking, "I didn't let you watch it before, I wanted you to concentrate on training, this kind of thing that can't be changed, what's the use of spending too much energy on it?" And, even if we meet a strong team, won't we play the game? β
"Of course, it is also necessary to understand the opponent early and respond well, and I am ready for this process of 'knowing myself and knowing the enemy'. Here I have collected some information and game videos of strong teams, and there will be no training in the last two days, so in addition to playing and watching games during the day, everyone should study these materials in the hotel at night. Remember, we can't be careless, even if I don't have a team that collects information, it doesn't mean it's not strong! There are no weak teams in the national competition, and the opponent must not be taken lightly. β
It turns out that Coach Ooka has been prepared for a long time, and too, it is impossible for so many teams to pay attention to each team. If the Lingnan team goes all the way to the finals, they will only encounter 5 different opponents, and studying the opponents too early will only waste time.
"Finally, I want to stress again that the national competition is a knockout round, so we have to treat every game as if it were the last game!"
