Chapter 31 The County Contest Begins

Time passed slowly, and soon came to the 17th.

This day is also the day when the schedule of the prefectural competition is announced, and the official competition is held on the 19th, that is, the day after tomorrow.

That is to say, from the beginning of the school year to the present, each team only has more than half a month to prepare.

This is also the reason why very few high school players become the team's starters, in such a short period of time, the high school players have not been able to integrate into the team for the time being, and they are unfamiliar with the cooperation of their teammates.

Unless the individual is very strong, it is difficult for a high school player to get a start.

During this period of time, the Lingnan team has always maintained high-intensity training, and Coach Taoka's reprimands have been heard endlessly, making the players miserable.

This directly led to many first-year freshmen who had just joined the team and couldn't stand the hard and boring training and quit the team one after another.

Coach Taoka didn't keep it, and it had to do with their talent and strength.

In Coach Taoka's view, among this batch of new students, there is only Uozi and Ikegami who have the value of training.

Yuzhu's training is still very hard, not only his personal ability has been improved to a certain extent, but his internal skills have been further improved.

In more than half a month, Yuzhu's strength has been greatly improved.

The current Uozumi can be said to be in the ranks of the top centers, and already has the strength to compete for the first center in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Under the infection of Yuzhu, many main players have also joined the training team.

This also made Coach Taoka feel very relieved, and thought that as long as he was not too unlucky, he had a good chance of winning the top four spots in Kanagawa Prefecture and hopefully getting a ticket to the national competition.

In order to improve teamwork, every two days, there will be an intra-team match, and occasionally use your network to play a friendly match with other universities.

This also makes the Lingnan players more compatible!

On this day, the schedule of the county competition was officially released.

Looking at the schedule in his hand, Coach Taoka didn't know what to say.

Judging from the schedule, before entering the semi-finals, the Lingnan team did not need to face off against Hainan and Xiangyang, but it did not encounter Jinjiuwu, the weakest existence in the semi-finals last year.

Tsukutake is a traditional strong team, but his strength is much inferior to the other three teams.

If it was Tsukutake, Coach Taoka would probably wake up laughing from his dreams, because it meant that Lingnan had a great hope of winning the semi-finals.

It's a pity that if the Lingnan team wants to enter the joint finals, they must pass the hurdle of Buri University.

This year's Buri is at its peak, not as weak as it was two years later.

Led by the Watanabe brothers, Buri High School is recognized as the strongest team in Kanagawa Prefecture, not much inferior to Hainan and Xiangyang.

In last year's county competition, Buri High School almost defeated Xiangyang, but unfortunately, in the end, it was a bad move.

This year, the Watanabe brothers have become more mature and more prominent than last year.

Of course, Shoyo was also strengthened, that is, they got Kenji Fujima, one of the two heroes of Kanagawa in the future!

For Lingnan, this schedule can only be regarded as neither good nor bad.

"I didn't expect our first opponent to be Miuradai, which was the top 16 team in last year's prefectural tournament, and Miuradai is not weak, and it is our traditional strong team in Kanagawa. Everyone must pay attention to this opponent and never underestimate the enemy. ”

Coach Taoka couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Lingnan's first opponent to meet Miuradai.

Coach Taoka has a certain understanding of Miuradai, and at the same time has a grudge against Miuradai.

Because, Coach Taoka tried to recruit Kengo Murayu during spring break, but unfortunately he was taken first by Miuradai.

"Yes, Coach!"

The players shouted one after another, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Coach Taoka began to analyze the information about Miuradai and said to Uozumi, "The core of Miuradai is Shinichi Yano, a third-year student, who is a center forward. Yuzumi, do you have the confidence to defeat him? ”

"Yes!"

Uzumi is full of confidence, and now he has the qualifications to compete for the first center in Kanagawa Prefecture, how can he not have confidence.

In the rest of the day, Coach Taoka continued to analyze Miuradai.

However, most of the information he collected came from last year's county competition.

"It would be nice if there was a professional intelligence collector!"

When analyzing, Coach Taoka couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.

There is no doubt about the importance of data, and the more complete the information about the opponent team, the better it can be targeted.

In order to better prepare for the game after tomorrow, Coach Taoka greatly reduced the intensity of training, and at the same time tried his best to investigate Miuradai's information and set up tactics.

As the top eight teams in last year's county competition, the Lingnan team is no different from ordinary teams in terms of competition system, unlike the top four teams with three byes and directly competing for a place in the joint finals.

Soon, the time came two days later.

This day is also the time when the first round of the prefectural competition begins.

Among them, the game of the Lingnan team was scheduled for 9 o'clock in the morning.

Under the leadership of Coach Taoka, the Lingnan team walked into the basketball hall early.

It's a small basketball hall with not a lot of seats.

Maybe it's the relationship between the first round, or maybe it's not a lot of relationship between Lingnan and Miuradae, but in short, there are not many audiences who come to the scene, and the students from the two schools account for a large proportion.

Coach Taoka did not dare to take Miuratai lightly, so he sent out what he considered to be the strongest starting lineup, namely Uozumi, Inoue Toyosu, Sasaki Oribe, Yusaku Ozawa and Asahi Matsushita.

On the other side, Miuradai also sent a starting lineup.

Uzumi's eyes are mainly focused on the tallest player in Miuradai, who is the core of Miuradai - Shinichi Yano.

Shinichi Yano has a weight of 193 cm and 84 kilograms, and is a traditional center like Uozi and Akagi.

In addition, first-year Kengo Murayu is also in the starting lineup, and his position is small forward.

The height of the starting players in Miuratai is not low, except for the point guard, the other four positions are all over 180 cm, and the comprehensive height is not much different from Lingnan.

"It's so high!"

"I'm afraid it's not two meters!"

……

During the warm-up of Yuzumi, whether it was the audience or the Miuratai players and coaches, their eyes were subconsciously focused on Yuzumi.

唰~唰~唰~

In the warm-up stage, Yuzhu did not dunk, and began to use hook hands in various positions, and his hand was relatively hot, constantly throwing the ball into the basket.

The hook hand has become a regular weapon for Yuzumi, which can effectively reduce his physical attrition.
