Monday, Kanagawa Center Gymnasium.

Whoa~

Before entering the stadium, you can hear the enthusiastic cheers of the spectators outside.

At this moment, the Winter National Championship has begun, and many teams have gathered in the stadium.

Unlike the Summer National Tournament, the Winter National Tournament is contested by 50 teams from 47 regions, the winner and runner-up from the previous edition, and an additional quota place (the host country).

In addition, there are only two seeded teams in the Winter National Championship, which is the champion and runner-up of the previous edition, unlike the four seeded teams in the Summer National Championship.

This means that the Winter National Tournament is divided into two groups of 25 teams each, with seeded teams having byes in the first two rounds.

In the last winter national competition, Sanno Industry won the championship, and the runner-up was another "giant" team, Hakata Commercial University.

Before the start of the pledge meeting, Lingnan had already received the winter competition group table.

Among them, Lingnan was placed in the first group, and the seeded team in the first group was Sanno Industries.

It may be that considering the strength of Lingnan, the organizing committee of the Winter Race did not let Lingnan and Sanno Industry meet in advance.

Only when Lingnan becomes the top two in the group will it be time to compete with Sanno Industries.

In addition to Lingnan and Sanno Industries, the first group also has Lingnan's old rival Aihe Academy.

As for the other old opponent Toyotama, it's a pity that they didn't win the winter national tournament, but the Daiei Gakuen led by Jun Tsuchiya.

Since Coach Kitano was dismissed, the Toyotama basketball club has been in turmoil.

Not surprisingly, it was still Coach Jinping who took over.

Coach Jinping is miserable, Coach Kitano has a great influence in Fengyu, but the Fengyu players took out the anger of Coach Kitano's dismissal on Coach Jinping's head, which made Coach Jinping bitter.

The Fengyu players led by Nam Yeol and Kishimoto not only disrespected Coach Jinping, but also disobeyed him and did not take him seriously at all.

As a result, Fengyu inevitably fell into 'turmoil'.

When Fengyu was in turmoil, Daei School Park took this opportunity to defeat Fengyu and successfully won the winter tournament.

This is also the main reason why Fengyu did not make it to the winter national competition.

Daiei Gakuen was assigned to the second group, and Kanagawa runner-up Buri High School was also in this group.

In the gymnasium, 50 teams were assembled.

Even though Lingnan is participating in the Winter National Championship for the first time, as one of the best teams this year, the location is very close to the center.

To the left of Lingnan is Sanno Industries, and to the left is Hakata Shodai, the only two seeded teams, and they are the team in the center.

It has to be said here that, as in the summer national tournament, Basketball Weekly evaluated the 50 teams that were selected.

Among them, Sanno Industries, which has the highest rating, is also the only team rated AA.

As for Lingnan, it is evaluated as an A+ team, and it is also an A+ team.

Compared with the summer national competition, Lingnan's evaluation can be said to be a step further, which is not only related to Lingnan's performance in the summer national competition, but also closely related to Yuzumi's personal ability.

If it weren't for the general weakness of Lingnan players, maybe Lingnan would also be rated as an AA-level team.

According to Basketball Weekly, Lingnan and Hakata are also the only two teams that pose a huge threat to Sanno Industries.

As for the A and A-level teams, there are teams such as Daei Gakuen, Aihe Academy, Luoan, Buri, and Shinbo University, which are stepping on the top of Fengyu.

As the first time to enter the country, Buri is also the runner-up of Kanagawa, and their experience with Xiangbei can be said to be completely different.

This is related to the heritage of Buri, and it is also related to stepping on the upper position of Hainan High School.

Although it was Xiangbei that defeated Hainan High School, Xiangbei was defeated by Buri, in a sense, it was not Buri > Hainan High School.

In addition, unlike Shohoku, although Buri has never played in a national competition, the Watanabe brothers in Buri have been selected for the Autumn National Sports Competition for three consecutive years.

Regarding the strength of the Watanabe brothers, "Basketball Weekly" has a high evaluation, believing that whether it is Masao Watanabe or Masaysu Watanabe, even if you look at the whole country, they are the top five or even the top three in their respective positions.

In Uzumi's view, this evaluation is not overestimated, all over the country, the strength can be compared to the Watanabe brothers' inner line can be described as very small, and there are only Uozumi, Sakurai Kentaro, Suzuki Nobisuke, Aso Taro and Takeshita Hirogen.

As for Akagi, Ikeda and Hiroshi, etc., they are not as good as the Watanabe brothers for the time being.

At this time, the basketball manager Harugami Liting stood in front with a wooden card, and the rest of the Lingnan players lined up according to the status of the team, and the reserved position was still behind the captain Yusaku Ozawa.

Yuzhu and Kaede were very close to each other, and the two of them looked at each other in unison, and they could see a strong battle intent in each other's eyes.

"Yuzhu, I'm looking forward to being able to compete with you Lingnan again!"

Kashima Kaede subconsciously wanted to shake hands with Yuzhu, but when she thought of the scene where she was pinched and hurt last time, she retracted her hand again.

"Each other, each other!"

"Yuzhu, before you fight our mountain king, you Lingnan don't want to capsize in the gutter."

This time it was Kentaro Sakurai, who was parallel to Uozumi, who spoke with anger in his eyes as he looked at Uozumi.

Whether it is the summer national competition or the autumn national sports, he has suffered a big loss in the hands of Yuzhu, and he has been crushed at both offensive and defensive ends.

Uzumi looked down at Kentaro Sakurai and said with contempt: "Each other! Kentaro Sakurai, I'm looking forward to facing you again! ”

"Damn!"

Kentaro Sakurai looked unwilling, but he didn't say anything cruel this time.

To put it simply, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Yuzumi.

In order to defeat Uozumi, Kentaro Sakurai has been training hard for the past two months, but due to his talent, his progress is not very great.

He is not a fish, and he can also use his potential points to improve his talents in all aspects.

The improvement of his strength was limited, which led to a serious lack of confidence.

Uzumi was too lazy to look at Kentaro Sakurai, and then looked at the other players of Sanno Industries.

"This guy is getting taller again!"

Yuzumi's eyes were focused on Masashi Kawada, and from a visual point of view, even if Masashi Kawada didn't reach 185 cm, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much different.

As for the other players of Sanno Industries, there is not much change in appearance.

Soon, the assembly time was over, and the chairman of the Winter Competition Organizing Committee began to speak on stage.

It's still the same official dialect and clichés, and Yuzhu listens to it boringly until the moment he finishes speaking.

As the champion of the last winter national competition, Kaede Kaede delivered a speech on behalf of Sanno Industries.

He took the stage to speak completely routinely, and then stepped down directly, a move that once again won the cheers of the players and the audience.

Soon, the pledge meeting of the Winter Tournament ended.

The first round of matches will also be played later, and in addition to the two byes of the last champion and runner-up teams, the remaining 48 teams will be assigned to play in different venues, including the Lingnan team.
