Before you know it, it's April 24th!

This year's Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament is a few days later than last year's, while the rest of the prefecture tournaments have already started almost one step ahead.

A few days ago, the schedule of the county competition was announced.

Among them, since Lingnan was the champion of last year's county competition, it naturally became one of the four seeded teams, and only one eight-in-four game was needed to directly advance to the joint finals, which is also the preferential treatment of the seeded teams in the county competition.

In addition to Lingnan, the other three seeded teams are Hainan High School, Xiangyang and Jinjiuwu.

To reiterate, in last year's county tournament, Buri was not seeded because he was eliminated by Lingnan in the eight-in-four match.

Xiangbei is the same, it was eliminated by Xiangyang last year and also stopped in the quarterfinals.

For the four seeded teams, they all don't want to run into Xiangbei, Buri, and especially Jinjiuwu.

The reason why Lingnan didn't want it was mainly because Yuzhu 'blew up' the king of the mountain at last year's national competition and was banned for two games.

In other words, Lingnan eight into four and the first joint final, Yuzhu can only sit in the audience and watch.

For a variety of reasons, it is natural for the organizing committee to want stronger teams to advance to the joint finals, as can be seen from the arrangement of the county competition schedule.

Among them, Lingnan is the face of Kanagawa, and the organizing committee naturally does not want Lingnan to be accidentally eliminated in the eight-in-four, so the two strong teams of Xiangbei and Buri were arranged in other groups.

Due to Xiangbei's upset defeat to Hainan High School in last winter's divisional competition, coupled with the graduation of Buri's Watanabe brothers, the organizing committee is more optimistic about the Xiangbei team among these two strong teams.

As a result, the organizing committee arranged Xiangbei in the Jinjiuwu group, and Buri in the Hainan High School group.

I heard that the high-head coach of Hainan High School angrily broke a few folding fans after learning about the schedule, because in the opinion of the high-headed coach, Hainan High School has to fight a hard battle more than Xiangyang and Lingnan.

You must know that the schedule of the county competition is also relatively intensive, and it is easy for other opponents to further understand Hainan, so as to make targeted deployments.

This is not a good thing for teams that are not much different in quality.

After the county competition schedule came out on the surface, the Xiangbei team was naturally ecstatic, because their opponent in the eight and four was Jinjiuwu, who was obviously weaker by one gear.

The Buri team had mixed feelings, that is, they were disappointed that they were not assigned to the Jinjiuwu group, and they were glad that their opponents were not Lingnan and Xiangyang.

In Buri's view, Lingnan and Xiangyang are stronger than Hainan High School.

Buri's Watanabe brothers have indeed graduated, but Hainan has also graduated Takanomiya Motoyu and Kazuhiro Ikeda, and the eldest brother does not say the second brother, and Buri has no hope of winning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the teams from Kanagawa gathered at the central gymnasium.

Before the start of the first round of the county competition, it was naturally the opening ceremony.

Since it was the first round, there weren't many spectators, and most of them were die-hard loyalists of the teams.

The teams stood in a row, and as the champions of last year's county competition, Lingnan was located in the center of the area, lined by Xiangyang and Hainan.

"Yuzhu has grown taller again!"

This is the unanimous thinking of all the players and coaches present.

Height is a very important talent in basketball.

210 cm, which is very advantageous in the high school league, is definitely a phenomenon.

At this time, while Makishiichi and Fujima were jealous, their eyes were full of warlike intent when they looked at Yuzumi.

Like Uozumi and Mitsui, they also became the captains of each team in their second year.

Although the island nation is a country that pays great attention to seniority, in sports competition, strength is more convincing than seniority.

There is a very strange phenomenon in Kanagawa's strong ball this year, that is, the captains of several other strong teams except Buri are all second-year players.

Many people present noticed this sign, which represents the blowout of Kanagawa's second-year top players, and it also means that the third-year players are not strong enough.

Truth be told, among the third-year players, Koichiro Nohara in Buri seems to be the strongest among them, which is embarrassing.

Don't talk about Uzumi, even compared to Makishiichi, Fujima, Mitsui and others, Koichiro Nohara is dwarfed.

I don't know if Koichiro Nohara has become a top player after the accumulation of these months.

Soon, the opening ceremony began.

The opening ceremony is still a cliché, but the difference is that this time the player representative is Yuzhu.

By the time Yuzhu came to the stage to speak, the players in the audience were already looking forward to it, looking at Yuzhu with their eyes, because they had been standing for more than half an hour.

"Last year, we in Kanagawa had great results in the whole country, and I hope to continue to do so this year. By the way, because of my father's request, a round of advertisements will be inserted here, if you have time in the future, remember to go to the Yuzhu restaurant, there is a 20% discount, thank you! ”

Yuzhu said a few words casually, as for the advertisements inserted later, it was completely the request of Yuzhu's father.

Since Yuzumi's father learned that Yuzhu became the representative of the players in the county competition, he hit the idea on Yuzhu, and under his 'words and deeds', Yuzhu had to agree.

In fact, it is also a good thing that the family business is good, not only can Yuzhu buy better sports goods, but also have enough money to study in the United States in two years, why not.

As soon as Yuzhu's voice fell, the players in the audience began to coax, saying that they would go over when they had time, and they only hoped that Yuzhu would raise his mouth and come down quickly.

"At the strong request of everyone, I will not say more, and I declare the opening ceremony officially closed."

Amid strong applause, Yuzhu immediately ended his speech.

With the opening ceremony over, most of the teams did not leave, and they still have to go through the first round of matches.

Only last year's quarter-finals and semi-final teams have the right to have byes.

Since it was Saturday, the Lingnan players did not have to return to school to study, and Coach Taoka did not force it, so he gave the order to dismiss at the entrance of the gymnasium.

The Lingnan players did a bird and beast scatter, and Uozumi stood with Naito, Ikegami, Akagi, and Mitsui, and they were going to go to the nearby basketball court to play a lap.

At the same time, Uzumi instilled the characteristics of Tsukutake to Mitsui and Akagi by the way, so that they could understand Tsukutake better, lest they capsize in the gutter.

No matter what, Tsukutake is not a weak team, not to mention that they have a lot of players who can shoot in the long range, once they are thrown away, the outcome is unpredictable.

Although Mitsui and others have also watched a few matches of Tsukutake, they have not played after all, and they don't know much about the details.

Just when Yuzhu and the others passed through an alley, suddenly, Yuzhu's ears moved slightly, and he faintly heard a scream, which seemed to be a little familiar.
