Chapter 22 Lingnan VS Xiangbei (I)

After the chairman of the organizing committee spoke on the stage, the host of the competition took the stage again. In the last event of the opening ceremony of the competition, one player representative from each of the previous champion and runner-up teams took the oath on stage.

This time, the host invited the player representatives of the champion and runner-up teams of the previous competition to take the oath on behalf of all the participating players. The representative player of the champion team Hainan High School who took the oath on stage is Mu Shenyi, and the representative player of the runner-up Xiangyang University is Kenji Fujima.

"Naito, do you think that guy is really old, like a high school student?" Xiandao, who was standing under the stage, looked at the representative of Hainan High School who walked up to the stage, Mu Shenyi, and whispered to Naito behind him.

"Hehe, people call this maturity, how can you be like a little Zhengtai, you look like a little kid. Naito, who was behind him, made fun of Akira Sendo again.

"You.... You're a little brat. Kosho Tai Xian Dao glanced at Naito.

"This one looks so delicate, it looks like a pseudo-girl, Xiao Zhengtai, do you say?" Naito looked at Kenji Fujima, who was wearing a green team uniform No. 9 team uniform, and said to Sendo.

"You're so handsome, but you don't know how to play, can you?" asked Xiandao rhetorically.

"Nonsense, people can't be good-looking, just take you kid as an example, you look like a small Zhengtai, you are very good at playing ball, and people may be as powerful as you. Besides, if he can take the oath on behalf of the entire Xiangyang, he must be the most powerful in Xiangyang University. The middle-aged man wearing the No. 8 golden uniform who went up in front of him may be the strongest one in Hainan High School or the entire Kanagawa. Naito said with a serious expression.

"The most powerful one, the strongest one in Kanagawa. Naito and Sendo both thought silently in their hearts at the same time.

The two of them took the stage to speak no more than 10 sentences in total, and they read out the prepared draft according to the script, and ended their speeches in a few sentences.

Taking advantage of the time when the player representatives took the oath on stage, the organizing committee soon sorted out the schedule and matchup table of the county competition.

After the two stepped down, the host of the contest took the stage again with the schedule of the county competition.

When the host came to the stage, under the arrangement of the organizing committee, the staff worked very efficiently to send the schedule of the games set by the organizing committee to the coaches of the participating teams one by one.

Standing in front of the microphone, the host took the competition schedule and match table prepared by the organizing committee, and simply read it out, and then mentioned that the first game of the first round was Xiangbei High School vs. Guigong High School, and the teams of Xiangbei and Guigong were invited to prepare for the meeting, and the game would start in fifteen minutes. Finally, the entrance ceremony was announced.

After hearing the ceremony, the players in the audience returned to the locker room from the players' tunnel in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the organizing committee staff.

Since the semi-finals and quarter-finals of the last tournament did not need to play in the first round, and the teams that could participate in the first round were all weak teams, and there was no viewing value, the players of the semi-finals and quarter-finals went directly to the parking lot to take the school bus to prepare for returning to school under the leadership of the team manager.

In addition to the semi-finals, the players of the quarter-finals team are gone, and some players who did not play today have also begun to leave one after another.

Even the sports officials in charge of the leaders, and the president of the organizing committee, who were sitting in the front row of the rostrum, began to leave the venue one after another. Some of the coaches of the top eight teams sitting in the second row of the rostrum also chose to leave. In the surrounding audience, in addition to the school cheering group that will play next, there are still some people who like basketball, and most of the rest are up and ready to leave.

Originally, Lingnan's players were also about to leave, but team manager Sakura Hoshino asked Coach Shigeichi Taoka, who was sitting in the second row of the rostrum, and then took all the players of Lingnan to the audience according to Coach Taoka's request, intending to watch the first game.

"Teacher Anxi, the first game is the competition between your Xiangbei High School and Guigong High School. I hope you win a big victory!" Shigeru Taoka, who was in the second row of the rostrum, looked at the schedule in his hand and said respectfully to Mitsuyoshi Anzai, who got up and left the rostrum.

"Hehe" Xiangbei High School basketball team coach Anzai Guangyi turned around and nodded with a smile.

Watching Mr. Mitsuyoshi Anzai twist his fat body, slowly walk off the rostrum, and walk to the coach's seat where the Xiangbei basketball team is located, Shigeru Taoka glanced at the schedule of the big competition in his hand, and shook his head helplessly, because the opponent in the second round of Lingnan in this competition will definitely be Xiangbei.

In just ten minutes, the audience seats in the prefectural public gymnasium, which were originally full, are now only a small number of spectators scattered around the seats. The people who should have left are almost gone, and now the remaining people are left in addition to a small number of cheering group members from Xiangbei and Guigong, and there are some people in the society who like basketball and the Lingnan players who stayed to watch the game.

Shigeichi Taoka took the schedule and table, left the seat on the rostrum, and went to the spectator seat where the Lingnan players were.

"Coach," all the players in Lingnan saw Shigeichi Taoka coming, and everyone got up and shouted together.

Shigeru Taoka waved his hand to signal the players to sit down, and handed the schedule in his hand to the captain Matsushita Kenxu.

"You look at the schedule and then sit down and watch, our first opponent, the winner of the two teams that are warming up below. Shigeichi Taoka pointed to the players who were warming up in red uniforms on the court under the audience, and the players warming up in white uniforms on the other side of the court, and said to the players in Lingnan.

The schedule of this tournament is obviously the best for the Lingnan team, although they have to play against Jinjiuwu, who is also in the quarterfinals last year, before entering the quarterfinals, but once they enter the quarterfinals, their opponent in the joint final is undoubtedly the weakest existence in the semi-finals - Sunrise West!

In other words, before entering the joint finals, the Lingnan team will not meet Hainan, Xiangyang and Buri, the three strong teams that have advanced to the joint finals all year round.

"It's still the organizing committee's strength, this year's Lingnan can at least reach the joint finals! With our current strength, we also have a chance to enter the national competition! But I hope everyone will guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't despise any opponent. ”

Looking at the battle table passed in the hands of the players, Shigeichi Taoka's face was slightly excited.

"Yes, Coach!" replied in unison.

"Wearing the red team uniform is the Xiangbei High School basketball team, their coach is Anzai Guangyi, this team is relatively strong, especially the center in their team and the small point guard, the strength is very good. Wearing a white team uniform is the Guigong University basketball team, and their coach is Fujisawa Hideyuki, this team is much worse than Xiangbei. If nothing else, our first opponent will be Xiangbei," Shigeichi Taoka then introduced some simple situations of the two teams to the players.

"Bulls jerseys, like, this is a god horse situation?" Naito, who looked at the red jersey and warmed up, said silently in his heart.

Just as all the players in Lingnan were looking at the players who were warming up under the stands, the two referees of the first game of the first round came out, followed by the members of the arbitration team and the technical statistics team.

Before the arbitrators and technicians entered the stadium, the organizing committee staff moved the chairs of the coaches and substitutes to both sides of the court, and all the tables, chairs and other supplies needed by the arbitrators and technicians were moved to the place where they should be placed.

When the staff of the organizing committee put away all the necessary supplies for the competition, the arbitration and technical statisticians began to prepare for the competition. The list of players from both sides will also be collected by the staff of the organizing committee from the coaches of the two teams and handed over directly to the technical statistics desk.

After about fifteen minutes of warm-up time, the official competition of the first round of the first county tournament will begin soon.

Under the announcement of the on-site narrator, the game officially began. First, the two referees enter the center of the pitch, and then the commentator broadcasts the starting lineups of both sides in order.

The first to enter the court were the players of Xiangbei High School: center Akagi Goken, power forward Satoru Tsunoda, small forward Konobu Mu, Tetsushi Shiozaki, and point guard Ryota Miyagi.

Then the players from Katsura University entered the stadium: center Yukihiro Taya, power forward Masao Sato, small forward Hideyoshi Kazama, scoring guard Uesugi Rain, and point guard Sakata Eio.

After the referee's whistle, the game officially began. As Shigeichi Kooka said, Xiangbei's center is very strong, taking the lead in winning the ball for Xiangbei, and the basketball fell into the hands of Xiangbei's small point guard Miyagi Ryota.

Miyagi, who got the basketball, did not stop and directly controlled the ball and quickly killed the opponent's basketball, and before the opposing defender could react, he rushed into the restricted area and made a three-step layup to pick the ball into the basket for two points.

In less than 3 seconds of the opening, Miyagi took the lead in scoring the first point for Xiangbei, 2:0

"Wow, it's so fast!" Seeing the speed of Miyagi's ball control, Kenxu Matsushita, who is also a point guard, was taken aback.

"That's right, this little point guard is named Ryota Miyagi, and when he was in junior high school, he was known as 'Electric Flint 'because of his speed, you must pay attention to it when you play against us next week, especially Panasonic, you are in the opposite position with him. Coach Taoka reminded Kenxu Matsushita and the other team members who were sitting next to him.

"Hmm!" Matsushita Kenxu nodded in understanding.

The ball is converted, and it is the turn of Guigong University to attack. Gui Gong's point guard, under the interference of Miyagi, slowly dribbled the ball across the half court and threw the ball directly into the hands of the small forward standing on the outside.

Gui Gong's small forward broke through Xiangbei's No. 9 small forward Mu Du Gongyan and went directly to the basket. Xiangbei's center No. 8 Akagi Gangxian, abandoning his defensive object, moved in a big horizontal step, and stood in a good position to block the way to the basket before Gui Gong's small forward entered the penalty area.

Gui Gong's small forward didn't have time to brake, and he made a layup directly against Xiangbei's center Akagi Gangxian.

"Smack"

A big hat, the basketball that had just left Gui Gong's small forward hand was directly shot out, the basketball was picked up by Miyagi outside the three-point line, and immediately launched a fast attack, followed by the Gui Gong point guard, who could only stand outside the three-point line and watch Miyagi score a layup.

4：0

"Yuzhu, this is a strong opponent, Xiangbei's powerful center Akagi Gangxian, known as Kanagawa's first center. It's up to you next week, and I'm sure you can outperform him on the inside. Looking at the sparkling eyes of Yuzhujun, staring straight at Akagi Tsuyoken who had just been blocked on the court, Shigeichi Taoka fanned the flames on the side.

"Hmph, the first center, in front of me, he is not qualified enough, coach, don't worry, I will make him look good on the inside, you just wait and see next week, I will, hit, explode, him!" Yu Zhu stared at Xiangbei's No. 8 Akagi Gangxian, who was playing on the field, and said through gritted teeth.

"Well, I will, I believe in you. Shigeichi Taoka encouraged.

From the beginning of the competition, Guigong University fell behind. The opening two fast attacks plus a big hat knocked out Gui Gong's morale at once. After halftime, Lingnan and the others who sat in the audience knew that there was no suspense in the game.

Under the attack of Xiangbei High School, the following games showed a one-sided trend.

When the game ended, the score shown on the scoreboard was: 70:40, Xiangbei University defeated Guigong University.

Seeing the final score, the players in Lingnan did not stay to watch the players in Xiangbei cheer for the victory, and turned around and left under the leadership of Shigeichi Taoka.

I believe that next week, the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan will come soon.
