Suzuki, who returned home, immediately left Hiiragi Yoshinari behind about to join Shoyang.

On the way, he had already figured it out, no matter whether Xiangyang had one more trump card or not, his Xiangbei would always be unable to beat. If you add a boss to a copy of hellish difficulty, it will still be hellish difficulty, and there will be no difference. As long as he doesn't join several other strong teams such as Hainan and Lingnan.

A few days later, Xiangbei, which was preparing for the competition, ushered in the first warm-up opponent of the year, Oda Kiri.

The two schools are only separated by a river, and the people from Oda Che came directly after school in the afternoon, but they didn't let Xiangbei wait long.

Suzuki greeted the door and saluted an old man with white hair: "Mr. Shimohira, it's been a long time, and I'm really sorry to bother you to lead the team in person." ”

The Odakiri basketball team has no coach, only a club instructor with the same identity as Suzuki's original, Takayuki Shimohira.

Xia Ping returned the salute and said, "Where, where." Instead, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Suzuki. Thanks to your care for these children, otherwise, this basketball team might have been disbanded a long time ago. ”

The Odakiri basketball team does not have a basketball hall for independent use, but shares the gymnasium with other clubs. Because of the team's poor performance, they were not valued in the school, and they had little time to use the gymnasium, so they had to run outside to play on the public basketball court. In this way, it caused conflicts with some people in society, led to several violent incidents, and almost disbanded the association.

Later, Suzuki heard the news, and often asked the team captain Nagado and Maki to invite Oda Kiri to play, and it was also open to them during training on weekends, which partially solved their field problems and alleviated the conflict, which kept the basketball team.

Suzuki didn't take credit, but said, "It's nothing, it's good for everyone, so what's the reason not to do it?" The guys of Oda Che also helped us in Xiangbei, so that we don't have to worry about finding an opponent. ”

Teacher Xia Ping knows in his heart that even though Xiangbei's strength has declined greatly in the past two years, it has not yet fallen to the point where it cannot find an opponent for the warm-up game. Even though Xiangbei, the three kings of Xiangyang, Hainan and Lingnan, could not be invited, most of the remaining teams would not refuse to play warm-up matches with Xiangbei.

Everyone is mixed in a circle, looking up and not looking down, giving each other face, and it is best to be harmonious.

Besides, except for those famous teams, the strength of the rest of the teams is not much different, and the warm-up games can come and go, not one-sided, but can play more wonderful games.

Sometimes, once in a while, one or two teams will become strong due to the gathering of outstanding players, but often they will soon fall silent with the graduation of these players, as is the case in Xiangbei now.

When Shimohira heard Suzuki say this, he accepted his kindness, and he was no longer polite, and said directly: "Everyone warm up, let's start early." ”

"Okay." Suzuki agreed.

Back in his side's rest area, Suzuki looked at the players who were staring at him eagerly, smiled and said, "I know every one of you wants to play, but there are only five of you who can play. Therefore, it is destined that some people will not be chosen. But don't worry, there is still a month to go before the county competition, and we still have a lot of warm-up games, and those who are not selected will still have the opportunity to impress me with their attitude and performance in training and get a chance to play. ”

After saying all the good things, Suzuki said with a cold face and a cold face, "However, I have one more sentence here." The person who is selected today does not mean that he will definitely be included in the list when he registers. You are not safe enough to relax. If you think so, when the time comes to the official game, you can only watch from the sidelines, then don't blame me! ”

Kuroda shrank his head when he heard this, and nodded tremblingly. He's already feeling the pressure in these days of training. Originally, he thought that there was only one opponent for Wu Dai, but he didn't expect that there are actually a large number of people who practice scoring guards now, among which such as Mu Du and Ino also seem to have good potential, which makes him really feel that his position is already quite unstable.

After waving the carrot and stick, Suzuki began to announce the roster for today's game, and nodded one by one: "Center, real wood; power forward, Hotta; Small forward, sand barn; point guard, Endo; Shooting guard, Kuroda. The above are the starting candidates for today's warm-up game. I know that several of you really want to show what you can do, to conquer me, and to add your name to the plan, but I want to tell you that when you get on the field, you must first do your job in your place. Otherwise, I'd consider someone else. ”

Suzuki's later words were not untargeted, and after he named them, the two first-year students, Hotta and Shakura, were very surprised, one pointed at himself blankly, still not believing that he had been chosen, while the other was obviously excited and a little carried away.

After being reminded by Suzuki's stern words, all five calmed down, at least on the surface, and then went to the basket twice one by one, tried their touch, and waited for Oda Kiri's warm-up to be completed.

Oda Kiri's current main general is named Kazuya Tanaka, and he is one of the people who came to Xiangbei with Mayu that year.

At that time, Tanaka was just a nobody who could only cheer on the sidelines, but now, he has taken over the position of captain of Odakiri from Takashi Kawai and has become the pillar of the current Odakiri.

Tanaka walked up to Maki and greeted with a smile, "We're ready." Why didn't Yanagisawa-kun get on? I still want to have a good deal with him! ”

Maki replied seriously: "First, this is the lineup arranged by Suzuki's supervision, you can ask what the specific reason is." Second, don't underestimate our newcomers this year, their strength is very good, you have to be careful. ”

Because of frequent contact, Tanaka is very respectful and familiar with Suzuki, knowing that he is very good at tactics, and when he heard Maki say this, he no longer questioned Xiangbei's lineup. However, for Maki's second sentence, he smiled and said, "Congratulations." Actually, we also have good newcomers in the team this year. ”

Maki looked at the strange big man in the Oda Cutting Formation and replied, "I saw it." ”

Oda Kiri's lineup is captain Tanaka, small forward; Team deputy Katsuhei Nakai, point guard; Kazuki Okamura, the three third-graders at power forward, with the second-year scoring guard Ikue Yamaguchi, and the first-year center.

Among them, only the freshman Maki didn't know, so Tanaka introduced: "He is Takenaka, who has played basketball since he was a child, Maki-kun, you really have to be careful!" ”
