Like last time, the Xiangbei team stayed to see the final after being eliminated.

As Suzuki expected, this year's champion is still Xiangyang High School led by Coach Anzai.

Mitsui Shou and Kenji Fujima got a lot of opportunities to play in consecutive games, and grew rapidly, almost squeezing the high-level Tono to the point where there was no position, and they had to return to the point where the front line shared the position with Tsuchihashi.

Especially in the final against the mountain king, Mitsui Shou showed more explosiveness in the face of the already famous ice room, and scored 11 three-pointers in the first half, so that Xiangyang led 52-36 in the first half and established an early victory.

And Fujima's performance was also quite good, scoring 20 points and 21 assists in the game, and winning a big double-double, which made Hamada, who is known for his defense, disgraced.

The joining of these two talented defenders has made up for Xiangyang's consistent shortcomings in relatively weak outside strength, and people began to call them Xiangyang's twin stars.

These two people, together with the first small forward Yoshisei Hiiragi, who has excellent teammates and plays to the next level, form a strong outside combination of Xiangyang, which makes all the heroes in the country helpless.

In contrast, Xiangyang's internal performance in this IH is somewhat dwarfed.

Although the center forward position in BEST5 was finally given to Honglin, to be honest, Honglin won this honor this year, which was not convincing, and it was somewhat based on the team's results.

In several tough battles, Honglin and Tsuchihashi only achieved a clear advantage in the confrontation with the Mountain King, and in the semifinals against Narita Central and the quarterfinals against Kade Naxi, they fell behind from the scene to the final statistics.

Junichi Takeuchi and Atsushi Moriyama of Narita Chuo, Yota Sugiyama and Oshiro of Kade Nasai have all successfully smashed the legend of Xiangyang's invincibility in the past four years in the game against Xiangyang, but Xiangyang's luxurious configuration of all positions can be called trump cards, and finally their dream of overthrowing the Xiangyang Dynasty came to naught.

In addition to Honglin, only the small forward position in BETS5 is still in Xiangyang, and the remaining three positions are divided by the other three teams in the top four, namely the runner-up Tatsuya Himomuro (shooting guard), the semi-final Narita's Atsuji Moriyama (power forward), and the semi-final Hainan's Seijuro Akaji (point guard).

The scoring title was won by Ice Room with a terrifying average of 38.25 points per game, which is the main reason why he beat Mitsui Shou to get the top five. Mitsui, on the other hand, was named the best rookie of the tournament with an average of 33.5 points per game.

Back in Shohoku, Kanagawa, at the beginning of the second semester, a retirement ceremony was held to bid farewell to Maki, Yanagisawa and Kuroda, who had contributed to the team's success in the national tournament again.

After more than a month, the sadness of everyone being eliminated has long faded, and when they talk about it, they can face it very rationally. And more than that, there is a touch of pride.

The strength of the generals in Xiangbei is not the top in the county, and they can go further than the predecessors of Dahe, and the three of them have no regrets, and the rest of the road will be handed over to the latecomers to open up.

Yuji Endo took over the captaincy, and Ami Mizuno took over as the team's manager.

Like the three of them, Momoi also has to put on glasses and devote himself to the sea of questions in order to go to school, and the time he spends with Suzuki is also slightly shortened.

This was requested by Suzuki, and as soon as the two got together, they inevitably had to talk about the team, and in order not to distract Momoi from being distracted in the revision exam, he made great efforts to reduce the number of meetings with Momoi.

However, after school every day, Suzuki still found time to hand over the basic training to Endo and Mizuno, and sent Momoi home, and then returned to school to take care of the basketball team's training.

In the fall, Minami Tara called Suzuki and invited him to participate in the Autumn National Sport as an assistant coach of the Kanagawa Prefecture team.

This was supposed to be an errand for Mr. Anzai, Coach Takaotou, and Coach Taka. However, this year, Mr. Anzai has already said that due to physical reasons, he will gradually fade out of this event, and because there are no players from Lingnan, the county has not invited Taoka.

Suzuki couldn't save face and agreed to Minami Tara, but after arriving at the county team, he was just a clay sculpture, a little bit of a hand, and handed over all the power to the high.

Gao Tou has his own selfishness, and in the national sports competition, he gave Liang Chuan, Damen and Akaji a lot of opportunities to exercise, and Suzuki never hindered this.

There is only one retired Maki in the Xiangbei team, and looking at Suzuki's face from above also gives him a lot of opportunities to appear, so Suzuki doesn't say much.

The selfishness of the high head was not done unscrupulously, and the overall strength of the team was placed here, and the Kanagawa team finally won the championship of this event.

Another two months passed, and the Winter Cup came to the knockout round in the prefecture.

The departure of the three absolute main players, because of the reserves of Chimu, Shacang and Wu Dai and others, did not lead to a major injury to Xiangbei's vitality, but in the Winter Cup, Xiangbei still lost to Xiangyang, succumbed to the top four, and sat back to watch Xiangyang defeat Hainan, go to the competition and return with honors.

Akagi strongly suppressed Hanagata, who replaced Mangrove as the center forward in the game, and even though Coach Anzai used the experienced Tsuchihashi to match, he could not beat Akagi.

It's just that the individual victory can't hide the overall decline, and compared with Mitsui and Fuji Zhen, the two star players who have emerged in the national competition, Mizuno, Wu Dai and others in Xiangbei seem to be a little overshadowed.

Another defeat to Xiangyang did not hit the confidence of the generals in Xiangbei. After all, even if Xiangyang went to the whole country, he moved the Winter Cup trophy back to Kanagawa in the encirclement and suppression of many strong players who retained third-year players.

Endo and others, in the hard training day after day, are gearing up to look forward to the competition next year.

However, reality has given them a blow to the head when they are ambitious.

In this year's summer and winter competitions, Xiangbei failed to appear on the national stage.

In the summer tournament, Xiangbei easily defeated the quarter-final challenger Minowa, but like Wuyuan the previous year, he failed to win even one game in the round-robin.

Whether it was against Xiangyang, Hainan, or Lingnan, Xiangbei lost cleanly and had no power to fight back.

For the first time, Xiangyang did not appear dazzling newcomers who could fight, but their foundation was too good, and the same group of people were still very strong in the summer of this year after winning the Winter Cup, and won all the way to the end.

Hainan and Xiangyang were in a similar situation, but they brought in a very strong rookie player named Nagayoshi Netakeya from another county as a replacement for Liang Chuan. At the moment, he looks empty and strong, and his skills are still very crude, but his future is worth looking forward to.

Lingnan is the one with the biggest change in strength.

After the graduation of Yuito Hoshina, Coach Taoka invited the previous year's junior high school MVP Akira Sendo from Tokyo as the team's arrowhead, and it was this Xiandao, with the assistance of Kanagawa junior high school MVP Miyagi, who defeated Xiangbei and ruined the last hope of Xiangbei to qualify.
