Chapter 32: The Battle Before the Game
Chapter 32: The Battle Before the Game
Two buses drove to the competition arena at the same time, carrying the Hainan basketball team and the Lingnan basketball team, most of the players of both teams closed their eyes to recuperate, and Nanxiang, who had big nerves, could also feel the tense atmosphere of the imminent battle on the Hainan team's car, and they could only close their eyes and recuperate and dare not talk nonsense.
Contrary to the tense atmosphere of the two teams, the stadium scene can be completely explained by the popularity, fortunately, Xiangbei and Buri have county conventions for viewing seats, otherwise it seems that today's tickets are really difficult to buy.
As a member of the Xiangbei team, Sakuragi did not come to the stadium with the Xiangbei team today, but came to watch the game with Ye Zi and Yohei, of course, Yohei came to cheer for Kenjiro, and Sakuragi went on a date while cheering while observing the enemy's situation.
The Xiangbei team gathered relatively early, Mitsui already has a very thorough understanding of Sakuragi's character, and knows that Sakuragi is a person who does what he says, so he is not in a hurry, but Akagi does not have such a good patience for Sakuragi, and in the morning I heard Kentaro Ishii ask Sakuragi for leave, and the angry Akagi yelled directly at Ishii. "Who told you to come and ask him for leave, that damn unorganized, undisciplined guy."
Mitsui waved his hand to let Ishii return to the team, knowing that it had nothing to do with Ishii, and it was not that Ishii was willing to come to help Sakuragi ask for leave, it was obvious that Ishii had no chance to refuse Sakuragi at all, and Akagi was angry that Sakuragi had nothing to do with Ishii.
"Don't be angry, that kid from Sakuragi will appear in a while, and today is the match between Hainan and Lingnan, you are too excited, too loose." Akagi also knows where his nervousness comes from, but this is not controlled at all, he can only try to relax himself, Akagi sighed, and listened to a familiar voice from behind the audience in Xiangbei, and immediately provoked Akagi s blood pressure to jump high again, Akagi looked back at Ye Zi and Yang Ping in anger, and Sakuragi seemed to know that he would face Akagi, so he hid far away.
"Thank you, Mitsui-senpai and Akagi-senpai, for letting Sakuragi pick us up, this is the water I bought for you." Ye handed the water that Sakuragi had specially bought to Mitsui and Akagi.
Who said that Sakuragi is simple, you see that there is still growth after being taught (fat) by Akagi (fat) and educated (beaten), Akagi looked at Sakuragi's friends, and Ye Zi is there, several people are very supportive of the basketball team, so Akagi is not good at getting angry in front of a few people, mainly because Akagi is embarrassed to lose Sakuragi's face too much in front of Ye.
Sakuragi squeezed around Oda and watched Akagi turn his head again, Sakuragi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he didn't have to be beaten today.
Although there is no game in Xiangbei but in the audience, it still attracts a lot of onlookers from teams from other counties, and the team from Kanagawa Prefecture is also watching.
"That red-haired one is also from the Xiangbei team? There are so many weirdos in the Xiangbei team! Do you see that the one who turned his head just now was the gorilla Akagi Gangxian in northern Xiangbei? It's so dark, it's so strong, it's scary to stare at it. Hearing the previous sentence, Sakuragi was very annoyed and wanted to get up to find trouble with a few people, but fortunately, Oda and Yohei were pulling.
There was no accident, but when he heard it, Sakuragi immediately became cautious, looked at Akagi, and thought to himself. Che is really an orangutan, no wonder it hurts so much to hit someone!
As the two teams arrived at the scene, the staff took the two teams to their locker rooms, and Takatou and Taoka also came to the game management, which was originally a very ordinary game, but at the suggestion of the coach of the Japanese youth team, the coach of the Japanese national team, Nanzo, also came to the game venue to take a look at the demeanor of the first young person, and at the same time happened to visit Nanzo's office, followed by the minister of the slam dunk project.
So Takatou and Taoka had to come to say hello in advance, and everyone exchanged a few words, although they were not very familiar with each other, but they had heard of each other directly, after all, the basketball circle in Japan is very small.
However, in the exchange between the two sides, it made Ooka very jealous, although it was said that he was watching the game between the two teams, but the focus of these people was still on Kenjiro, so compared to Gao Tou, he was a little cold to Taoka, which made Ooka very unhappy.
Originally, Taoka, who was well prepared, wanted to break the sixteen-year history of Hainan's domination of Kanagawa today, but because of these unnecessary socializing before the game, I felt as if I was weaker, although I have to admit that Takatou has a good son, but I, Shigeichi Taoka, must be high-headed and want to win three consecutive national championships.
After saying goodbye to several senior Japanese basketball management, the atmosphere between the two was awkward and frozen, both Taoka and Gao Tou were silent, did not turn their heads back to say hello or hit, turned around and left, saying that there is no need between the two of them, and they can not know each other's thoughts after fighting for a lifetime, and that sentence understands that you are not the person who likes and loves you at most, but the person who wants to kill you.
Although Tian Oka held his breath, he still adjusted his condition before returning to the locker room before pushing the door in, and found that the Lingnan players had all been prepared, just sitting in their seats and waiting for Tian Oka to return, and the moment Tian Oka entered the door, everyone's eyes were on Tian Oka.
Tian Oka could read from everyone's eyes that the desire of these children in front of him to defeat Hainan, and Tian Oka had already prepared words of encouragement just now, but Tian Oka was suddenly a little speechless.
"Japan's Minister of Sports and Basketball, the head coach of the Japanese national team, and some of the head coaches of the Japanese youth team that you have met are here, and they are waiting to watch this game in the special guest seats outside." Many Lingnan players looked very excited, if it was really as the coach said, maybe it was an opportunity for everyone to step up to the sky.
"But they are talking more about the Hainan team, talking about the person who pressed on the head of the Japanese high school, Kenjiro Takato, these people didn't come to see our Lingnan win, but just wanted to see Hainan's performance in defeating Lingnan Kenjiro." Taoka's words are a little stinging for these young people who love basketball, right? How can you come to see yourself if you are unknown.
"Lingnan has grasped the initiative to challenge Hainan this year, no matter who can shake it, I want to defeat Hainan's determination, no one can't, do you have such determination?"
"Yes." "The voice is too quiet, haven't you eaten today?" "Yes." Xiandao, who didn't care about any national team and any minister, also felt the excitement and unwillingness of his teammates, and stared at the shoelaces in front of him.
"Okay, that's it, we're going to let them down, let's go." As if they were about to go to the battlefield, the Lingnan players followed Tian Oka and left, and Xiandao followed behind and took a deep breath. It's all like this, only to fight
The Lingnan team exudes a fighting spirit that suffocates the staff who lead the way, but in the eyes of the staff, these children who are full of fighting spirit can say anything as long as they don't come up and beat themselves, and the current children are too precocious, and while thinking about it, they glanced at Yu Suzumi, who was following behind Tianoka.
