Chapter 101 The Grouping Situation of the National Competition (Fourth Update, Seeking the First Order)
After Shota Sugiyama accompanied Kazuo Karasawa to Akita Prefecture, Uozumi's life became monotonous again, and it seemed very boring.
It's like this for others, but it's sweet for Yuju.
Whoever sees that their continuous efforts can be rewarded, and it is estimated that it will be the same as Yuzhu.
Many people are not born lazy, but they will slowly become slack after working hard but not seeing the return for a long time.
Just as the Lingnan team was training hard, time began to pass slowly, and soon, more than half a month passed.
During this period, an interesting incident related to Hainan happened.
Originally, Hainan was trying to apply for the play-offs, and with the heritage of the king Hainan, it stands to reason that there is a great chance of getting the play-offs.
It's a pity, I don't know who exposed the fact that the Hainan team replaced the official players with substitute players at the closing ceremony of the county competition.
As the saying goes, it is far easier to destroy than to create, and many members of the county competition organizing committee think that the Hainan team does not respect them.
Of course, there are some colleges and universities behind it, and they are also secretly making contributions.
For the monopoly of the king Hainan on the championship and the quota of the national competition, the rest of the colleges and universities are naturally dissatisfied.
Fortunately, there are two places in Kanagawa Prefecture for the national competition, and there is still hope after all. Winter is different, unless you are the host country or the winner or runner-up of the national competition, there is only one spot.
The world has been suffering for a long time, and after these schools see the opportunity, how can they let go of the idea of making things worse.
In this case, the Hainan team's play-off application has been stuck by the organizing committee, and there is no chance to pass it on at all.
By the time the head coach finds out that something is wrong, it will be too late, and the play-off places have already been decided.
As a result, the Hainan team lost the opportunity to apply for the play-offs.
After more than ten years, Hainan enjoyed the "fun" of "fishing home" for the first time.
The significance of this incident to the Hainan team is absolutely far-reaching, not to mention the mood of the Hainan players, but it has also affected the foundation.
After learning that the Hainan team had lost the qualification to participate in the play-offs, many teams spontaneously celebrated.
After the Hainan team lost the play-offs, it also means that this national competition is about to begin.
This year's national competition will be held in Kyoto.
Due to the distance, the Lingnan team did not take the school bus again this time, and their means of transportation was the Shinkansen.
Under the leadership of Coach Taoka, the people of Lingnan entered the Shinkansen en masse.
The people in the carriage couldn't help but look over, and then, their attention was drawn to the fish.
"Wow, that's so high!"
"I'm afraid it's two meters!"
"I seem to have seen him somewhere!"
"Stupid, he's a 'monster'!"
……
It has to be said that the popularity of Uozumi has initially spread in Kanagawa Prefecture.
"Coach, here's the list of groups for this year's national competition!"
Retini Harugami handed the latest issue of Basketball Weekly to Coach Kooka.
After hearing the list of groups in the national competition, everyone in Lingnan surrounded Coach Tian Gang, wanting to know the grouping situation in Lingnan as soon as possible.
"Don't be in a group with the King of the Mountain, there is also a Hakata Business University attached."
The people of Lingnan prayed silently, they knew very well in their hearts that although Lingnan was strong, it was difficult to defeat them.
Needless to say, Sanno Industry has won the national championship for a second time.
The Hakata Business University is also very strong, well, it has won the runner-up in a row!
Although the affiliated Hakata University of Commerce is certainly not as good as Sanno Industry, it is stronger than Hainan and Aihe College.
At the same time, the Hakata Business University is also the most difficult team.
These two teams can be said to be the 'traditional giants' of the national competition, with a glorious history.
In this case, the people of Lingnan naturally do not want to be in the same group as these two teams.
Coach Taoka was also nervous, but on the surface, he quietly opened "Basketball Weekly" and quickly found the page where the list of groups in the national tournament was located.
With apprehension, Coach Taoka began to watch.
A total of 59 teams participated in the national competition, which was divided into four groups.
Since last year's Hainan team only won the national quarterfinals, the four seeded teams have not changed, they are Sanno Industry, Hakata Business University Affiliate, Aihe College and Jimboo University Affiliate.
The first three are good to say, as for the Jimbo University Affiliated School, it is from Kyoto, and it is similar to the Hainan University Affiliated High School.
The top four teams in the last national competition will automatically become the seeded teams of this year.
Seeded teams naturally have preferential treatment, such as direct byes in the first round, and it is impossible to meet them before reaching the semi-finals.
"Found it, we're in the third group!"
After seeing the grouping situation, Coach Taoka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As we all know, the last champion and runner-up were definitely the seeded teams in the first and second groups.
"The third group, the seeded team in this group is Aiwa Academy in Aichi Prefecture!"
After learning that it was Aihe Academy, everyone in Lingnan was obviously relieved.
The strength of Aihe Academy is similar to that of Hainan, and it also has ace players and a large number of excellent role players.
In addition, like the Hainan team, this year's Aihe Academy has also recruited a strong freshman, that is, Zhuxingda, which will be known as the 'Aichi Star' in the future.
By the way, judging from Makigo's familiarity with Aichi Prefecture, it seems that he is also from Aichi Prefecture.
"By the way, which group is Xiangyang in?"
The same Kanagawa Prefecture team, plus playing several friendly matches, the relationship between the two teams has improved a lot.
"It's in the fourth group, and the seeded player in that group is a member of the Jimbo Daidai!"
"Xiangyang is lucky, I heard that the Shenbao University is not as good as before, with the strength of the Xiangyang team, there is a good chance to win the national top four."
At this time, the people of Lingnan began to observe the battle situation of the third group.
Lingnan's first opponent was Iwashimizu High School from Hokkaido, a team with a low profile.
Although Iwashimesy High School has played many national competitions, its best result is the top 32 in the national competition, which is either a round or a second round.
However, Lingnan will not despise any opponent, after all, no one can be sure that Yan Qingshui will be as blockbuster as Lingnan this year or the original Zhongxiangbei.
"I didn't expect Fengyu to be in our group! If nothing else, we will face Fengyu in the second round. ”
Yuzhu couldn't help but shake his head, no matter how you look at it, Fengyu is a strong team, especially Coach Kitano has not been dismissed by Fengyu.
Lingnan may be a little stronger, but the gap is not very big, and Fengyu also has the possibility of defeating Lingnan.
This is definitely a fierce rival!
At this time, Harugami Liting handed a notebook to Yuzhu.
"Fish live, give, this page is the national competition record!"
