Chapter 84: Reaching the Final Four

"Amu, let's meet in the semifinals!" Outside the court, Xiangbei met Hainan, and Amu's complexion was already dark, and now he is even darker when he sees the grouping situation.

"It's much easier for you than we are!" In the second game, he will face the king of the mountain, and the shadow of last year's game is still hanging over Mu Shen's heart, and he really does not have much confidence to defeat his opponent.

The schedule of the national tournament is tight, with 59 teams having to decide the final champion in six days, which means that there is one game almost every day, and only five seeded teams can be better, with a first-round bye and one less game.

In the first round, Xiangbei collectively watched the game between Hainan and Fengyu, Amu is not Fuji Zhen, Rukawa Kaede, he has long known the name of the ace killer Nan Lie, Nan Lie's killing trick failed, and he injured himself, after Nan Lie withdrew, Mu Shen repeatedly had no one to restrict, and led Hainan to easily defeat the opponent into the second round.

The next day, it was Xiangbei's turn to appear, and their first battle against Ma Gongxi was not an opponent at all, and Xiangbei took a 30-point lead in the first half, Shen Long replaced the four main forces as usual to save physical strength, leaving only Sakuragi Hanamichi with Mu Dui, Yasuda and other substitutes to compete with the opponent, so that Sakuragi Hanamichi could take advantage of this opportunity to brush up experience.

"What are you doing, I feel that the opponents of the national competition are not as good as Buri, Lingnan and Xiangyang, it's a pity." Mitsui Shou sat on the bench with a depressed expression.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of the team that defeated Hainan, Xiangbei is very strong!" The players of the Mountain King said after learning the news, but they didn't talk much about it because their match with Hainan had already begun.

In the past year, Makishiichi has always kept in mind Fukatsu's defense, and has carried out special exercises for this purpose, and this year he will not be so passive when he plays with Fukatsu, but unfortunately Kiyota Nobunaga can't stop Eiji Zebei at all, and Takasago is not Kawada Masashi's opponent at all, and he can't beat the Mountain King just by relying on Makishiichi's breakthrough and Ashen's three points.

In the end, the king of the mountain won by 20 points and successfully advanced to the next round, Amu regretfully bid farewell to the national competition, he set his sights on the field in northern Xiangbei, it seems that he can only wait until the country of autumn is in the decisive battle with the king of the mountain, Hainan, Xiangbei, Lingnan, Xiangyang four strong teams out of the star players, should not be weaker than the king of the mountain, right?

"The King of the Mountains is really terrifyingly strong! We only won Hainan by eight points, right? "Akagi looked at Masashi Kawada with sweat on his head, can I defeat such an opponent?

"Akagi, don't be intimidated by Kawada, he has his strengths, and you have your strengths." Shen Long remembered that Akagi had fallen into the shadow of Kawada in the Battle of the Mountain King until Yuzhu woke him up, so he reminded him.

However, when Xiangbei meets the King of the Mountains, it will be time for the semifinals, and at that time, Akagi has already completed the requirements for Coach Tang Ze to lead the team to the quarterfinals, and his mentality will be more relaxed, right?

In the third round, Xiangbei also easily defeated Jinshan Commercial, and then divided into two groups, one group went to watch the next opponent Luoan's game, and the other group continued to observe the King of the Mountain.

The king of the mountains met the challenge of Aiwa Academy in this game, Zhuxingda led the team to attack the Sanoh, but unfortunately the strongest point of his team happened to meet Eiji Zebei, the first high school student in Japan, the strength of Zhuxingda was greatly weakened, and the defensive expert Satoshi Ichikura also limited the other scorer of Aiwa Academy very well, and Kawada was unstoppable on the inside.

After holding out for half the court, Aihe Academy was still defeated by the mountain king's full-court pressing, and Zhu Xingda left the national competition with Mu Shenyi.

In the fourth round, Xiangbei finally ushered in the first test of the national competition, they met the seed team Luo'an Middle School from Kyoto, Luo'an has good strength, and does have the ability to be the top eight in the country, but it is not too high, and it is weaker than Hainan on the whole.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Shen Long replaced the main force, at this time Xiangbei had established enough advantages, Luoan then launched a counterattack, but Xiangbei was not in a hurry, Yasuda controlled the rhythm well with the ball, used time to kill Luoan, and finally won by nine points to enter the semifinals.

"Xiangbei doesn't look like the new army at all." This kind of old-fashioned approach amazed Fukatsu.

"After all, it's Coach Anthy's team! If Xiangbei has any advantage over the King of Mountains, it is probably that Mr. Anxi is stronger than me! The Mountain King's coach Domoto said.

"Alright, our game is about to start, let's defeat Urayasu Business first!" Masashi Kawada got up and started his game with the players of the Mountain King.

The strength of Urayasu business is not as good as Hainan, Aihe College, the king of the mountain won easily, and then, the second half of the game also came to an end, the semi-finals of Daiei College and Mingpeng Industrial Division, the talented center Mori Shigekuan advanced after defeating Daiei College's Tsuchiya Jun, and led the team to the national semi-finals in the first year, and Mori Shigekuan shook the country.

"That guy!" Sakuragi Hanamichi remembered the scene when he went to Aichi to watch the game and was knocked down by Mori Shigekuan, "Coach, if we defeat the Sanno, the final will be played by Mingtomo Industries, right?" ”

"I'm afraid not, Hakata Commercial's style just restrains Mingpeng Industry, their defense is very tight, and the experience of small actions and fouls is so old, Mori Shigekuan is only a first year after all, I'm afraid I will fall into their trap." Shen Long shook his head and said, Inoue said that the champion of the national competition is a team that he did not draw.

Therefore, Mingpeng Industry definitely does not meet this goal, and Hainan won the runner-up, so the champion can only be produced in the second half of the region, which means that Mingpeng Industry is destined to be eliminated by Hakata Commerce, perhaps Hakata Business is the champion of this competition.

"Huh? No way? "Sakuragi has always wanted to seek revenge on Mori Shigekuan.

"Don't worry, you still have a chance to meet him when you wait for the Autumn Country Sports or Winter Trials, by the way, the Mountain King's Nobian General Guangka is very powerful, if you can't grab him, you can consider using some small moves, but be careful not to be discovered by the referee." Shen Long reminded.

Back at the hotel, everyone crowded into Shen Long's room to discuss the tactics of facing the Mountain King tomorrow, "Rukawa Kaede, I'll give you three minutes and Zebei to fight each other tomorrow, if you can't win, use other methods to help the team!" ”

Liuchuan Feng opened his eyes slightly, Shen Long knew that he would definitely not be able to resist encountering an opponent like Zebei, Liuchuan Feng, rather than forbidding him, it was better to let him understand Zebei's strength first.

"Akagi, tomorrow you put your main energy on defense first, and the offense will be handed over to Mitsui first, Mitsui, it's up to you in the first half!" Like the original book, Mitsui became the key to the victory or defeat of this game.

"And Sakuragi, tomorrow you can use your secret weapon!"
