Chapter 155: Xiangyang Lianhe, the river has an appointment
The game of the Xiangbei team was over, but they did not leave Tokyo immediately, but stayed to watch all the games, and finally returned to Kanagawa with Xiangyang, who won the championship, and Lingnan, who won the semifinals.
Defeated Xiangbei's Jinshan Commercial,In the third round, they met the defensive team Darong School Parkใ After the conflict, it was Jinshan who had more attack points and won the victory. Kazuhiko Aikawa, who rested for half the court, performed amazingly, using his all-around ability to tear holes in Daiei's defense again and again, and scored a double-double of points and assists.
After two consecutive wins, Kanayama didn't go far, losing in the third round to the division's seeded team Hakata Business University.
In this battle, Hakata's two major inside lines, Daiki Aomine and Nikaido Hang, teamed up to score 34 points in the first half, and exploded the inside line that Kanayama was proud of. Ruyuecai didn't even hit a single ball in Aomine's hands, and Jian Musashi's mid-to-long-range shot pulled to the outside line was not a scoring weapon for Kanayama because of its average accuracy.
In the second half, Coach Aikawa sent Kamakura, Honda, and Zeden three three-point shooters on the court together, and once narrowed the difference to less than 5 points, but after all, it still couldn't stop Nikaido and Aomine's scoring efficiency, and Kanayama finally lost by 3 points.
After crossing Kanayama Commercial, Hakata made persistent efforts to repel the team that qualified from the third division, Luoan from Kyoto, and got his wish to meet Xiangyang in the final.
Once again, Lingnan stopped its progress in front of the overlord of the same county, like a winter cup. But this time, their excellence has been known to all the heroes in the country, and even Hakata is glad that he met Luo'an, not Lingnan.
The heroes who fell to Lingnan all the way include Toyotama of Osaka, the king of Shizuoka Tsuneko, and Hori, who won the national championship two years ago.
The gold content of this series of opponents is even higher than that of the opponents that Xiangyang swept all the way, and at the same time, it once again showed the strength of Kanagawa Prefecture high school basketball to colleges and universities across the country.
Even if Shoyo loses to Hakata in the final, Kanagawa's play-off place next year will not be lost.
It's just that, how could Xiangyang lose to Hakata?
Gray Saki, who was suffocated because he often had to give up time for the red forest, was like a hungry lone wolf in the final, and for the entire thirty-two minutes, he actually maintained 100% concentration, and it was inseparable from Aomine, who was one line higher than him.
The result of the confrontation between the two was beyond the reach of many people, and it ended with Ash Saki dragging down Aomine. Ashisaki, who lost his opponent, uncharacteristically chose to take a break and left performance time for Kondo Yuji.
The strongest has no advantage at all, not to mention the rest of Hakata's players.
It only took half a time for Atsushi Shihara to beat Nikaido Hang, who had been smooth sailing before, to lose confidence.
In addition to her absolute height, Shihara is more than a step ahead of Nikaido in terms of bounce, speed, strength, and agility. Nikaido tried all kinds of methods, even if it was a foul, it couldn't stop Ziyuan from scoring on the inside. On the other hand, he didn't score a point in front of Ziyuan, and even in a fast break, unguarded, his layup passed over the basket without even touching the hoop.
After Honglin came off the bench in the second half, he faced the stateless Nikaido, and he also played with momentum, laying the foundation for himself to win the honor of the best newcomer.
Bodo's rout in the final made their players, in the final selection of the top five players of the competition, nothing, but in the semi-finals, facing Xiangyang and Lingnan, who also played well, became the big winners.
The duo of Shoichi Iyoshi and Tetsuya Kuroko occupied two of the top five players after Shihara and Ashizaki.
In terms of strength and performance, Kuroko may not be stronger than Xiangyang's captain Osamu Igarashi, but perhaps because the votes are scattered, or it may be the reason why the judges deliberately did not let the selected personnel come from the same team, and Kuroko was selected.
In the same way, the small forward position among the top five players was awarded to Hori's ace Hisunari Hiiragi.
For this result, Xiangyang's Okazakihama and Lingnan's Yuito Baoke were very unconvinced, but their tactical role in their respective teams was not as good as Hiiragi, so their performance was naturally not so bright, and under the persuasion of their teammates, there was no discordant voice. Fortunately, one of them is in the second grade, the other is in the first grade, and there is time and opportunity.
In addition to various selections, when looking at these sixty games, there is a statistic that, inadvertently, stung the eyes of many people.
He scored 59 points and had 15 assists in a single game.
That's right, this is the data that Dahe played in the battle with Jinshan Commercial.
The top five players have always been selected from the top eight and above.
Even if it is a seeded team and reaches the quarterfinals, it will have at least three match statistics. For selections without awards, such as scoring champions, rebounding champions, and assist champions, more than three games are usually counted.
As a result, the data for Dahe was not included in the calculations at first.
However, gold will always shine, and this single game of nearly 60 points will always be noticed.
Someone with a heart counted the mat game between Xiangbei and the King of the Mountain, and calculated the average data of the two games for Dahe, and found that Dahe's average data per game was actually 48.5 points and 14 assists.
This statistic is nearly half higher than the average of 33.6 points per game of scoring champion Shoichi Imyoshi, and it is also one line higher than the average of 12.8 assists per game of assist king Tetsuya Kuroko.
You must know that Dahe's opponents in these two games, one is the runner-up of last year's Winter Cup, and the other is the quarterfinals of this year's national competition, which is not a weak team. His stats in these two games are golden.
Suddenly, everyone discovered that in addition to the star-studded Xiangyang and Lingnan, there was such a hidden star in Kanagawa Prefecture.
For a while, the coaches of the three major sports universities of Kaya, Osaka, and Fukasawa heard the news, and inquired about the contact information of Xiangbei through various means, and rushed to Kanagawa to recruit Dahe.
However, they were all one step late, and on the train back to Kanagawa, Taiga had already found a home.
Coach Hasegawa of Keio University, after hearing about Taiga's performance in the competition at the school, immediately launched an investigation and contact with Oga, and persuaded the school board of trustees to make an offer for Oga before Xiangbei returned. As long as Dahe successfully graduates from Xiangbei, he will be admitted to Kyungdae.
Kyungdae's sincerity touched Dahe, and the two sides signed a contract on Enoden's train.
Knowing that Dahe could go to school without studying hard, everyone congratulated him, and this happy event also diluted Dahe's regret for a round of tours in northern Xiangbei.
As an overseer, Suzuki can also proudly say to himself: This year, well done!
