Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Middle-Aged Man Is Young!

The hotel where Takeshi Middle School rests is only a dozen minutes away from the Tokyo Gymnasium, and early in the morning, the players of Takeshi Middle School boarded the bus to the gymnasium.

There are a total of 59 teams participating in the national competition, divided into four major groups of ABCD, while each large group is divided into two groups to compete, and each group has 7-8 teams.

Generally speaking, there will be two seeded teams in a large group, and the top eight teams of previous editions are generally the seeded teams of this year, and often in the first round of the competition, these teams have byes. If the draw is unlucky, the average team will meet the seeded team after passing the first round.

However, Takeshi Middle School had the better fortune to face another team that had participated in the first round instead of facing the seeded team in the second round.

In the second game, Takeshi Middle School played against a team from Kagawa Prefecture, and the opponent also entered the national competition for the first time, and it was not very famous.

However, when the players from Wushi High School arrived at the stadium, the stands were still full of spectators. However, most of these spectators are not here to watch a school game like Takeshi Middle School. Today is the second day of the National Tournament and all the seeded teams have played today, most of them have come to see those teams play.

The match of Takeshi is the second game of the day, and before them, they will play a game in the group, and the winning team will face the team that has qualified from the group in the 16-8 match.

So after arriving at the venue, Masayoshi Anzai led the players to find a place in the stands and sat down. In the middle of the stadium, two teams are warming up.

Soon, Wu Dao was caught by a handsome young man who was making a layup in the middle of the court. Without him, just because in the vast crowd, Wu Dao glanced at each other more.

It was a handsome teenager wearing a white No. 12 jersey, the teenager had small broken hair, fair skin, and stood under the basket after the layup, passing the ball to his teammates.

Because of the distance from the distance, Wu Dao does not estimate the height of the opponent, but when you look at the height of the basket after the opponent makes a layup, the height of the opponent is around 175cm, which is considered a medium level in the middle school team.

And the reason why Martial Arts noticed the other party in so many people was mainly because of the other party's solid muscles.

It's obviously a game of junior high school, but the No. 12 on the court has muscles far beyond his peers, and the loose jersey can't cover the opponent's figure at all, and that kind of physical condition makes Martial Arts subconsciously think of Shinomiya Field.

In Kunichu, most of the players are in the shape of Takemichi and Mitsui Shou, thin, muscular but not noticeable. There are only a few strikers who will have exaggerated tendon meat, but they are also very rare, so when Martial Arts saw the No. 12 of the white team, he immediately fell in love with that person.

"Hey, Martial Dao, what are you looking at?" Mitsui Shou was sitting next to Martial Arts in Jinguji Temple, he noticed that Martial Arts was staring at a person in the court, and following Martial Arts' gaze, he didn't notice anything abnormal, so he asked puzzled.

"Little San, have you seen the No. 12 of the white team, that muscle, that figure, it seems to be the No. 1 smaller Sinomiya Field."

"Do you know who that person is?"

Jinguji Takemichi pointed to the number 12 of the white team on the court and asked Mitsui Shou beside him.

"Hehe, did you notice?"

"The white team is the seeded team in our group, Hokkaido Iwaisui Middle School."

"Yanshui Middle School was the fourth in the country last year, and the twelfth, called Mu Shenyi, was the starting guard of Yanshui."

"Last year he was only a first-year and averaged 16 points and seven assists per game, so he was a tough opponent to be reckoned with."

It was not Mitsui Shou who answered the question of martial arts, but the instructor who sat on the other side of the martial arts, Masayoshi Anzai. Studying opponents is his job as a coach, and he has studied all the noteworthy opponents in Group C where their Wushi Middle School is located, and he was fourth in the country last year, how could he not study it.

"Shepherd's One? That fair-skinned kid is called Mu Shenyi? ”

Jinguji Martial Arts asked in surprise, the expression on his face was a little surprised. The name Mu Shenyi was too familiar to him, but now the young man who was passing the ball to his teammates under the basket really couldn't overlap with the figure of the middle-aged man in Wu Dao's mind.

The difference is too great.

"What's wrong? What the fuss? Do you know? Anzai Masayo glanced at Martial Arts, a little puzzled.

"Uh... I've heard of it before, it's the first time I've seen it, but I didn't expect it to look like this. Wu Dao hurriedly shook his head and said a perfunctory sentence, then leaned forward slightly, and carefully looked at the boy of the No. 12 white team.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

"This little pretty boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually the first repeater of SD, and his skin is so white, he shouldn't have started surfing yet."

"I don't know how the ball is.... If you are in the opposite position with the junior....."

Jinguji Martial Arts looked at it for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mitsui Shou, and a strong curiosity suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the past, when he visited SD's post bar, he would always see people discussing whether Wu Kongsan could fight against Mu Shenyi. In the third year of high school, Wu Dao didn't know what kind of situation the two would be opposed, but now, Wu Dao had the opportunity to see Mitsui Shou and Mu Shen in pair.

Of course, the premise is that Yanshui Middle School can win this game, and Wushi Middle School can also win the waiting game, and only in this way can Wushi have a chance to fight Yanshui.

"See what?" Mitsui Shou felt Martial Dao's gaze, turned his head and asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, just want to see who can win if you play against that number 12."

Wu Dao grinned, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Do you even need to think about it? How could Uncle Ben lose? Mitsui Shou pursed his lips and said disdainfully. However, although he said this with his mouth, his eyes looked solemnly at the young man in the stadium, and he sat up slightly straight.

Mitsui Shou said that he couldn't lose, but in his heart, he was obsessed with the gentry.

In the middle of the pitch, the referee had already walked to the center of the pitch and blew the whistle. The two teams returned to the lounge area to make the final adjustments, and then began to settle in the center circle at the referee's signal.

Facing off against Iwaisui Junior High School is Seei Junior High School in Tottori Prefecture, which, like Takeshi, made it to the national tournament for the first time this year and made it past the first round.

Generally speaking, in addition to the traditional basketball strong schools will consolidate the position of their teams through the means of recruitment, the general schools are strong and weak for a year, so every year, there will be fresh faces to break into the national competition.

Although there are many new teams that have broken into the country, in the past, the top eight teams in the country have rarely changed, and the old strong teams are strong every year.

In the middle of the court, the players of Yanshui Middle School and Shirong Middle School were seated in the middle circle, and at a glance, the average height of the players of Yanshui Middle School was much higher than that of the Shirong players.

The two center forwards in the middle circle of the jump ball, the one in Yanshui is already 190cm tall, and the boy who is opposite the player is only in his early 180s, which is obviously half a head shorter.

Before the game started, the morale of Shirong Middle School had already been suppressed.

"I couldn't see it when I was warming up, but it was obvious when the two teams stood in the middle circle."

"The average height of Seyoung is too short, and if there are no particularly strong players, this game will actually be over before it starts."

Anzai Zhengyi clasped his hands in front of his chest and whispered, his expression full of sorrow.

He's not worried about Seyoung Middle School, he's worried about his Takeshi Middle School. They didn't play against a strong opponent today, and Anzai has confidence in his team. However, after the victory, there is a high probability that you will encounter Rock Water Middle School.

In terms of average height, their martial arts are actually not as good as Yanshui, at least in the two positions of center and power forward, their martial arts are definitely not dominant.
