Chapter 209: The Winter Tournament Begins

Before you know it, it's December.

On this day, it is also the start time of the Kanagawa Division of the Winter Tryouts.

The full name of the Winter Tournament is the National High School Basketball Selection, also known as the Winter Cup, which can be said to be the most popular high school basketball event in the island country.

The tournament is contested by teams from 47 regions, the winners and runners-up of the previous edition, and an additional quota for a total of 50 teams.

This additional place is basically given to the host.

What has to be said here is that with the concerted efforts of Hainan University, the Kanagawa Organizing Committee and many influential universities in the country, the Winter Organizing Committee was successfully persuaded to agree to hold this year's Winter Tournament in Kanagawa.

As a result, Kanagawa, who became the host, secured an additional place in the Winter Tournament.

This is also linked to Kanagawa's performance this year, in the summer national competition, Kanagawa two teams both became the top four in the country; At the Autumn National Sports Competition, Kanagawa made history and won the championship.

It can be said that Kanagawa is the most outstanding region in college basketball in the country this year.

A few days ago, the schedule of the Winter Division was announced, and the official competition was scheduled for this day.

In the past two months, the Lingnan team has been training according to the previous rhythm, and occasionally secretly training various tactics to further improve the tacit understanding of the players.

In this way, the strength of the Lingnan team has been enhanced to a certain extent.

Among them, the fish dwelling and the pond have made the greatest progress.

Ikegami's three-point shot has been further improved, and even with defenders, there is still a certain degree of certainty.

At the same time, Chishang's defensive level has also been enhanced, and he has officially become the core of the Lingnan team's outside defense.

Not to mention Yuzhu, he has been training very hard, his personal ability has been improved to a certain extent, and his internal skills have been trained more and more solidly.

He has already combined his technique and body to bring out more strength.

Strength evaluation: core players in the lower leagues

Potential points: 0

In two months, Yuzhu's strength has been greatly improved, which can be seen from his strength evaluation, and the main players in the lower league have been promoted to core players.

I'm afraid that even if it is placed in an American high school, Yuzhu has definitely reached the level of a five-star high school student.

As for whether it is beyond the ruling level, it is difficult to say.

After the opening ceremony, the Winter Kanagawa Division competition officially began.

Lingnan also secured a place in the quarterfinals in last year's Winter Tournament in Kanagawa.

In this regard, as in the prefectural competition, as the quarterfinals team in the Kanagawa division last year, Lingnan automatically had a bye in the first round.

As for last year's semi-final teams, they automatically qualified for the quarter-finals, and only need one game to advance to the semi-finals.

From the perspective of the competition system, before entering the semi-finals, it is not much different from the county competition.

The difference is that after entering the semi-finals, there will not be a joint final like the county competition, but a catch-and-fight, win the continuation and lose the fishing.

The main reason for this is that there is only one place in most areas, so it is naturally how simple it is.

Judging from the matchup, before entering the semi-finals, the Lingnan team will not meet Hainan, Xiangyang, Buri or even Xiangbei.

Perhaps because Lingnan was too strong, the Kanagawa Winter Organizing Committee divided Lingnan into the fourth group, and the seeded team in this group was the weakest Tsuhisa Takeshi.

As for Lingnan's first, second and even third opponents, these are not important, and they are no different from passers-by A, B and C.

However, Uozumi is still ready to play as he wants to break the record.

In addition to Lingnan, Yuzhu paid attention to Xiangbei by the way.

Xiangbei's luck is not bad, they are in a group with Hainan.

Compared with the county competition, Xiangbei must be a lot stronger.

Hainan High School did not increase but declined, for the simple reason that Kazuhiro Ikeda unexpectedly gave up participating in the Winter Games.

Between one increase and one decrease, the gap between Xiangbei and Hainan has narrowed a lot, and Xiangbei has no hope of winning.

This is also the main reason why the evaluation of Yuzhu is not good or bad.

Of course, even if Xiangbei wins, I'm afraid it will be unsustainable.

There is no way, this Xiangbei team is the same as the plot year, the bench thickness is too poor, and there are few qualified players.

Once encountering a strong enemy, even if Xiangbei defeats Hainan, it will inevitably be a big injury, and the competition system of the key regional competition is as hurried as the national competition and the autumn national sports, one game a day.

This is undoubtedly very unfair to a team like Xiangbei.

After participating in the opening ceremony, due to the first-round bye, most of the players in Lingnan did a bird and beast scatter.

In addition to attaching importance to Xiangbei, it is also related to Akagi Gangxian and Mitsui Shou are their friends, and Yuzhu and Ikegami are ready to cheer for them on the spot.

"It's so high!"

"Wow, it's a monster fish to live!"

"The No. 1 high school student center in the country?"

……

Living at the first altitude of Kanagawa with a fish, no matter where he goes, he always attracts a lot of attention.

No way, the average altitude of the island country in this era is not very high, and two-meter giants are very rare, not to mention that the current Yuzhu has a full 206 cm.

Yuzhu ignored the audience, he had long been accustomed to being the center of attention.

Instead of standing in the stands, the two walked straight to the spectators, as Haruko Akagi and her two best friends, Matsui and Fujii, had already secured their seats.

This is also the first game of the divisional competition, and there are not many spectators stranded at the scene, otherwise if it is an important game, don't expect to help others occupy a place.

"Look, the Hainan team is here!"

"Shoyang and Buri are also here!"

……

At this time, the audience present exclaimed.

In the stands, representatives of the three teams emerged.

At this time, the four strongest teams in Kanagawa came, and only two or three people came to each team, which shows the importance they attach to Xiangbei.

Even if the thickness of the bench in Xiangbei is poor, Xiangbei has two top players, Akagi and Mitsui, which are almost not inferior to them.

On the surface, Lingnan is not even as good as Xiangbei in this regard, after all, Lingnan does not have two top players.

Yuzhu couldn't help but turn his head and found that the people who were 'observing the enemy' were all familiar faces.

Hainan came Takanomiya Motoyu and Makishiichi, Buri came the Watanabe brothers, and Shoyang was Aso Taro, Fuji Ma, and ......
