CHAPTER XVI

The time soon came to the national convention.

Although it is the first place in Kanagawa Prefecture, Xiangbei's rating is only B, which is lower than the rating of the second-place Hainan team.

Xiangbei, as a little-known team, is not favored by the organization of this rating.

A total of 59 teams participated in the national competition, and 5 teams got byes in the first round, among which Xiangbei won the first place in the Kanagawa Prefecture competition attached to Hainan University and got the first bye.

The second round of the match came from Qinghuang High School in Miyazaki Prefecture.

It is not easy for schools to enter the national competition and break through the second round, and Qinghuang High School is good at positional warfare.

The captain of Qinghuang High School, a center forward in the third grade, is 205cm tall, taller than Uzumi, and his dominance on the inside line is not inferior to Akagi at all.

The team that is good at positional warfare is most afraid of a team like Xiangbei that is good at playing fast offensive and defensive conversions.

Relying on the Run and Gun tactics, Xiangbei defeated Qinghuang lightly and defeated the opponent 103-67.

The next round of the competition is against Kanayama Commercial High School from Niigata Prefecture.

The ace of Gold Mountain Business High School is a foreigner, a 17-year-old white American.

Rukawa Kaede had a slight advantage in the American ace duel, and Xiangbei won the opponent with a score of 90-60.

In the quarterfinals, Xiangbei faced Luo'an High School from Kyoto.

In a metropolis like Kyoto, he entered the national competition with a first place, and you can imagine how terrifying Luoan's strength is.

Luo'an High School has the goal of defeating the King of the Mountain and dominating the country, except for the King of the Mountain, every team does not pay attention to it.

This team is destined to pay for its hubris.

Before the game started, Luoan was full of disdain and contempt for Xiangbei, after all, Xiangbei was only a team rated B.

Luo An's attitude directly blew up the generals in northern Xiangbei.

At the beginning of the game, Xiangbei was full of firepower, suppressed the whole court, and finally defeated the Luoan team 137-78, shocking the whole country.

6 members of the Xiangbei team scored double-doubles, of which 4 scored 20+, and Mitsui and Rukawa both scored 40+, becoming the first team in the history of the national competition to score 40+ with two players in the team.

......

......

In the semifinals of the next round of the competition, Xiangbei is about to face Sanno Industry.

Sanno is the champion of last year, the year before and the year before last, and the only double-A team in the country, with Japan's No. 1 point guard Kazunari Fukatsu, Japan's No. 1 center Masashi Kawada, and Japan's No. 1 high school basketball player and the strongest ace Eiji Sawakita! This year's lineup was even rated as the strongest lineup in the history of the Mountain King.

In the original book, Xiangbei experienced a hard battle and killed the Mountain King by 1 point, but for this victory, Xiangbei tried everything and was loved and eliminated in the next game.

On the eve of the game, the king of the mountains studied the video of the match between Xiangbei and Luo'an.

In this game, the whole team in Xiangbei had an excellent performance.

Miyagi's excellent ball control and speed, Wang Guang's calmness and amazing reflexes, Mitsui's precision, Rukawa Kaede's kaleidoscope of attacking singles, Sakuragi's amazing bursts and bounces, and Akagi's dominance on the inside.

It's not enough to just watch the video, the king of the mountain also had a practice match with the lineup composed of previous players, with Xiangbei as an imaginary enemy.

The former Mountain Kings players are now star players in the college league.

However, such a team still lost to the current Sanno Industry.

On the side of Xiangbei, due to the big victory in the three games, the whole team was not nervous like in the original book.

Coach Anxi showed everyone the video of last year's King of the Mountain to Hainan.

Miyagi saw the opponent he was about to face, Fukatsu Issei, and felt pressure, saying that he was going out to blow the wind, and Wang Guang chased after him.

Sakuragi pondered in the hallway a feint combined with a new skill in special training shooting, Rukawa Kaede was sleeping with headphones on, and Mitsui Shou and Akagi and others were discussing countermeasures with Coach Anzai.

.......

One night passed, the next day, came the day of the competition.

The stadium was full, but the mountains were full of fans who supported the Mountain King, and it could almost be said that they were all coming for the Mountain King.

In the pre-game warm-up, Sakuragi grabbed the ball, jumped from the free throw line, and smashed the ball into the frame, and the whole court was as silent as death.

"Listen to me, this game, we Xiangbei will win! This is the victory preview of my genius Sakuragi Hanamichi! ”

......

......

At the beginning of the game, Akagi jumped the ball and lost to Kawada, Fukatsu just received the ball, and a person suddenly appeared in front of him and directly copied the ball away, this person was Ryota Miyagi.

Miyagi is like a phantom, and before the king of the mountains has time to return to defense, Miyagi has already completed the layup and scored.

"Oh my God, what kind of speed is this!" Fukatsu Kazunari's face turned white, covered in cold sweat.

"It must have been too late to watch the video yesterday, and the spirit is not too good!" Fukatsu slapped his face and forced himself to calm down.

The king of the mountain serves, Fukatsu receives the ball, and as soon as he dribbles, the ball is gone.

A gust of wind blew from the right, Fukatsu's eyes widened, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, he didn't see Miyagi's movements at all, and turned around, the ball had fallen into the net.

Miyagi smiled coldly, ran back to the backcourt, passed by the bench, and slapped Wang Guang who was standing on the sidelines.

The king of the mountain served, Fukatsu got the ball and held it very cautiously first, and saw that Miyagi was in the opposite half, so he was a little relieved and pushed the ball to the front court.

Zebei card position to the ball, Fukatsu passed Zebei, the ball to the halfway, Miyagi's figure swayed, stealing the ball, launching a fast attack, Fukatsu quickly returned to defense, desperately chasing after him, but he could only look at Miyagi's back, Miyagi scored a layup, Xiangbei 6-0 Mountain King.

.....

.....

.....

After playing with Luo An, Wang Guang pondered the strategy for dealing with the Mountain King.

Compared with the players in each position of the two sides, the Mountain King is slightly larger than Xiangbei as a whole.

In the center position, the king of the mountain is greater than Xiangbei!

Masashi Kawada of the Mountain King, who was evaluated by the captain of Fukasawa University and the main center of the Japanese team, can be ranked in the top three positions of the center when he enters the college basketball world at this time, and Akagi in the original book was suppressed by the whole game.

The position of the big forward, Xiangbei is greater than the king of the mountain!

The mediocre-looking Nobe Shohiro is a rebounding master, suppressing Sakuragi for nearly ten minutes, and was defeated by Sakuragi's small movements and strong explosiveness, resulting in psychological loss of control.

Small forward position, the king of the mountain is greater than Xiangbei!

Eiji Zebei, the trump card of aces, Rukawa Kaede can be said to have no power to fight back in the face of Zebei, until the end of the game, Rukawa Kaede awakened and understood the true meaning of team basketball, and the situation was reversed.

Scoring guard, Xiangbei is better than the king of the mountain!

Yano Matsumoto Nau was evaluated by Aiwa Coach as an absolute trump card to go to any team other than Sanno.

However, at this time, Mitsui returned half a year early, and he had already overcome the problem of physical shortcomings, and he reached the absolute peak state of high school.

How terrible is Mitsui at the pinnacle? You must know that Mitsui in the junior high school period was the one who was able to beat the MVP of the junior high school league won by Amu, Fuji Zhen and others, and Matsumoto Nen at this time was completely unable to compete with Mitsui.

As for the position of point guard, whether it is Miyagi or Wang Guang, it is impossible to beat Captain Sanno, Fukatsu, who is known as Japan's No. 1 point guard, and Sanwang is greater than Xiangbei.

3:2, the overall strength of the Mountain King is greater than that of Xiangbei.

Wang Guang wanted to reverse the situation, so he lent the Boots of Agility to Miyagi.

If Wang Guang wears the agility boots, the agility attribute is 15 points, then Miyagi wears the agility boots, and the agility attribute is 20 points.

These shoes can play a bigger role than you can at the foot of Miyagi.

The strengthened Miyagi completely crushed Shenjin, and Xiangbei as a whole was 3:2, which was greater than that of the Mountain King.
