Chapter 176: The Third Match Day!
In the stadium, as the game progressed, the situation became clearer and clearer, Xiangbei under the leadership of Mitsui Shou, Akagi and Chiba were both well mobilized, and the effect of internal and external connections was very good.
On the other hand, Chang Cheng, the opponent's outside attack point was directly strangled by Jinguji Martial Arts, in this case, Chang Cheng can only rely on the play of the inside players.
But although Yuzichai is said to be their trump card of Chang Cheng, his strength and Akagi Gangxian are only between them.
The opposition of the two did not have much advantage, and the scoring efficiency was not as easy as Coach Chang Cheng thought.
At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School was already nearly 20 points ahead of Chang Cheng. After the halftime break, Chang Cheng adjusted the offensive formation, and the ball on the outside was concentrated on Chang Cheng's No. 8, which was defended by Miyagi Ryota.
The other party seems to think that Miyagi's height will be a defensive hole in Xiangbei, so he intends to break through this point.
At the beginning, the opponent did succeed in scoring two goals, but later, Miyagi seemed to have adapted to the opponent's style of play, and with his agile skills and rich experience, he staged a wave of classic steals with small fights and big ones.
After a few times, Chang Cheng returned to the dead-end style of play, and this kind of play will only be a slow death in front of Xiangbei.
Halfway through the second half, the difference between the two teams reached 30 points, and Coach Anzai replaced Mitsui Shou and Chiba Daishi at this time, and replaced Konobu Ki and Satoru Tsunoda.
After the substitution, the defensive strength and offensive strength of Xiangbei High School immediately lacked a lot. However, Wu Dao on the field did not take over the offensive task, but only took over the ball in the front court.
However, he passed the ball more to Akagi and Konobu Ki, allowing them to attack from the main side. Koyan Mudu's projection has been practiced for a while, and this match has also given him the opportunity to fight.
Although his shooting accuracy is far inferior to Mitsui Shou and Jinguji Takemichi, in this game, it is enough.
With the cooperation of him and Akagi Gangxian, although the difference between the two teams of Xiangbei and Chang Cheng is shrinking a little, the speed of shrinking is very slow.
Until the end of the game, Chang Cheng still failed to seize the opportunity of Xiangbei's substitution and overtook the score.
In the end, Xiangbei High School defeated Changcheng High School 84-66 and won the first victory of the national competition.
The Xiangbei players who won the game were very excited, but the audience on the field was a little disappointed.
On the first day of the National Championship, many of the spectators were teams from all over the country who participated in the tournament, and before the game, they got to know all the opponents.
And Jinguji Takemichi, as one of the five AA-rated players selected by basketball magazines, is the first person to appear on the court in this highest-rated sequence, so it naturally attracts a lot of attention.
It's just that Xiangbei's game Jinguji martial arts did not play anything, although Xiangbei won, but the performance of Jinguji martial arts disappointed these people.
"The gap between the strength of Changcheng High School and Xiangbei is not small, and that Jinguji Martial Arts is not a passing ball except for defense, and it can't be seen at all." In the stands, the players of Aihe Academy couldn't help but say with some disappointment when they saw that the game was over and the two teams began to pack up their things in the rest area.
"It's okay, I've already found a friend in Kanagawa, and he can help us get the video of Xiangbei's game in the county competition, and we can watch it tonight." Aihe's coach Ming Yamamura said, although he said so, but as a coach, he was actually a little disappointed, after all, the video tape is a videotape, far less intuitive and shocking than watching the game on the spot.
Jinguji martial arts, if your own team members just watch the videotape, they can't feel the strength and horror of the other party at all.
On the contrary, it was the Lingnan High School that played against Xiangbei during the county competition, and there was a player in their team, even if he was not watching the game on the spot, he could feel the strength of the other party.
Soon, Xiangbei, who ended the game, began to leave. In today's game, the physical consumption of everyone in Xiangbei is actually okay.
Mitsui Shou and Chiba Oishi only played for thirty minutes, and the intensity was average, which was not much different from playing a training match.
Although Jinguji Martial Arts and Miyagi fought all over the field, the two were also fishing and paddling. Although Wu Dao recognized it a little bit when he was defending, but to that extent, it was only a warm-up at best.
Kogen Ki and Tsunoda only came on as a substitute in the second half and played for ten minutes, and there was not much consumption.
Although Akagi Goken fought with Miko Shiba for the whole time, Akagi, who helped the team win the first victory, is now in an unusually good mental state and does not feel any fatigue at all.
Coach Anzai saw that the players were in good condition, so he did not rush to take the players back to rest, but walked along the corridor and took the players to the stands to watch the next game.
A total of 59 teams participated in this year's national competition, including Sanno from Akita Prefecture, Aiwa from Aichi Prefecture, Rakuan from Kyoto, Hakata Shodai from Fukuoka and Reinan from Kanagawa, and five teams had byes in the first round.
So there are a total of 27 matches in the first round, and today alone, there will be 13 matches on this back, starting at 7.40 in the morning and going on until the evening.
By the second day, there were 14 games left in the first round. On the third matchday, the second round of the national competition will be held, and the second round will have a total of 16 matches, which will also be played on two matchdays, with eight matches a day.
After the second round, only 16 teams remained, and all the games after that will be truly back-to-back.
Such a tight format is a great test of the players' will and physical fitness, and the order of the draw will often determine to a certain extent how far the team will go in this field.
The draw for Xiangbei High School is not bad, at least, after today's game, tomorrow will be a day off, followed by the game with Fengyu High School.
There were no strong seeded teams participating in the first day's competition, and the five AA players selected by the magazine were also scattered among the five teams of Xiangbei, Lingnan, Shanwang, Aihe and Luo'an.
The first day's game can also be called rookie pecking each other. The people in Xiangbei only did it in the stands for less than an hour, and the enthusiasm of the players to watch the game was gone, and the martial arts had already lacked interest, and they kept playing Hache.
Coach Anzay also noticed the state of the players after watching a game and a half, and left the stadium early with the players.
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Coach Anzai led the players to watch today's game, the strength of the team participating in the first round of the game was indeed very average, Wu Dao took a leave of absence with Coach Anzai after watching two games, and returned to the hotel by himself, and began to exercise.
He has daily tasks~ Not long after Martial Arts returned to the hotel, Miyagi also returned to the hotel, and when he went to the room, he didn't see the figure of Martial Arts, so he came to the hotel's gym and found Jinguji Martial Arts who was running.
"Martial arts, tomorrow is the match with Fengyu, are you still exercising today?"
"Ever since I knew you, I didn't seem to see you stop for a day." Ryota Miyagi came to the gym, casually found a stool not far from Martial Arts, and sat down.
"I'm used to it, I feel stiff when I don't run."
"How did you get back? What about the others? Don't you see it yet? Wu Dao slowed down the speed of the treadmill and asked casually.
"No, they're still watching, I can't stand it, so I'll come back first."
"To be honest, before the competition, I really had great expectations for the teams participating in the national competition, but the competition in these two days really opened my eyes."
"It turns out that even in the national competition, there are paddling teams."
"There are many teams, none of which are Xiangyangqiang, how did they get into the country?" Ryota Miyagi spread his hands and placed them on the back of his chair, his tone full of disappointment.
"It's just the first round and it's normal for the team to be poor. And you've only watched a few games, huh? You don't see the games of the strong teams. ”
"And not all regions are Kanagawa, although Xiangyang lost to us, but their strength, looking at the whole country, can also rank in the top 16."
"Of course, that was Shoyang before, and now...," Takemichi said to Miyagi while jogging.
"Our next opponent is Fengyu High School, this high school is very powerful, good at running and bombing tactics, and the best result is the top 8."
"How are we going to fight tomorrow? Are you still not involved in the offense? Miyagi Ryota thought about it, and also felt that martial arts was right, thinking that there were strong teams among the teams participating in the national competition, he immediately thought of Xiangbei's next opponent, Fengyu High School.
"Feng Yu's ability is not bad, and the run-and-bomb tactics may be a bit troublesome for other teams, but for us, it is not so useful."
"After all, the speed of our Xiangbei is not slow."
"Tomorrow's main attack will be handed over to Xiao San and Akagi, I am still in charge of defense, they just won a game, it is the time when the fighting spirit is high, let them play well again."
"Fengyu's inner line height is only 190cm, and you can focus on the inner line tomorrow."
"As for defense, I'll keep an eye on their trump card, Nam Yeol."
"Tomorrow's game, we can easily win." Wu Dao said, slightly speeding up the speed of the treadmill.
Miyagi could feel the confidence of the martial arts in the tone of the martial arts, and nodded without saying anything more.
Sitting in the gym and watching martial arts exercises is a little boring, and Miyagi also drove a treadmill next to Martial arts, intending to move his body.
At this time, there was a competition between Toyotama High School and Saitama Prefecture Umezawa High School in the venue. Not long after the start of the second half, Fengyu had already stretched the difference to 15 points, and the balance of victory was already tilted in Fengyu's favor.
"Nan Lie's three-point shot is very accurate! The defense is also very oppressive, and it's not easy to deal with! As Fengyu's Nanlie scored again on a solo fast down, Mu Du in the stands let out a sigh of emotion.
The second-year Nan Lie is 181cm tall and weighs 72kg, and he is vigorous on the court, fast, and his three-point shot is also very sharp.
"It's very similar to my playing style, but if Fengyu is only at this level, we will be able to win nine out of ten in tomorrow's game!" Mitsui Shou looked at Nan Lie, who was crisscrossing freely on the court, without any sense of crisis.
When the players in Xiangbei heard Mitsui Shou say this, they all glanced at him, and they didn't refute it, and silently watched the game in the field.
More than 20 minutes later, the game was over, and Fengyu won the match with a 96-74 victory.
And after this game, Coach Anthy also left the stadium with everyone. This opponent did not bring a lot of pressure to Xiangbei, not to mention that the players were very relaxed, Coach Anxi's own mentality was also very relaxed, of course, Coach Anxi's relaxation, the players could not see it.
... Day 3 of the National Competition. The time was only seven o'clock, and the team members in Xiangbei finished washing up early and left the hotel.
Their Xiangbei match today is the first game of the morning, and for them, this signing is quite good.
If they can win against Fengyu, it means that Xiangbei will have more time to rest and prepare for the next matches.
Everyone in Xiangbei arrived at the stadium and did not go to the locker room to rest. After communicating with the organizers, Coach Anzay was allowed to bring the players into the field in advance for warm-up.
The format of the national competition is very tight, so the management of the team's warm-up time is relatively relaxed.
When Xiangbei entered the venue, there were few spectators in the stands, and some, only a small number of fans, and even the participating teams came with a few teams.
Just as the Xiangbei players began to warm up, the people from Fengyu High School also walked into the court along the players' tunnel.
It seems that their plans are the same as Xiangbei, they plan to come early and start warming up in advance. The players of the two teams looked at each other from a distance across the field for a moment, and then threw themselves into their warm-up.
"Nam Yeol, were you tired from yesterday's game? Do you need to adjust your rhythm today? When Fengyu was warming up, a player wearing a blue No. 4 jersey walked up to Nam Yeol and asked.
Obviously, the person wearing No. 4 should be the captain, but he asked Nam Yeol about today's play. On the sidelines of the court, Fengyu's coach sat on the bench in a white suit, his face full of displeasure.
"No, just keep the previous way of attacking, sleep a little, I'll be well a long time ago!" Nan Lie turned his head and glanced at the coach off the field, and replied with a surge.
Fengyu's coach is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who has a little hair, but his hair is meticulously combed, and it can be seen that he should be a rigorous person.
Fengyu's original coach was at the same time when Anzai coached the national team, Coach Kitano, but because Fengyu's high school grades have not improved in the quarterfinals, in the spring of this year, Coach Kitano was fired by the school, and now this middle-aged man in his forties is Fengyu's new coach.
However, the new coach has only been in the team for a few months, and his prestige has not yet been established. On the court, the words of the ace Nan Lie are much more useful than his Ke.
Feng Yu and the others all smiled and nodded when they heard Nan Lie's words, and then began to warm up. As the days wore on, the stands began to fill up, and there were several heavyweight bouts in today's bout, with Sanno Industries making their debut at this year's national competition.
At the same time, Lingnan, as well as Aihe, both have games today.
"Eh, it hasn't started yet, Xiangbei's opponent today is Fengyu, who was rated as A-level, this team is not easy to deal with!" Cross-country Hongming followed his teammates to the seat and sat down, and when he saw that the two teams were still warming up, he whistled and teased.
"What's so hard to deal with, Fengyu has no one to guard against the martial arts of the Lower Jingu Temple, and it is very difficult to deal with Mitsui Shou."
"The game between Xiangbei and Fengyu is not suspenseful." Shinomiya Tianye looked sideways at the court slightly, said surging words, and then found a place to sit down.
Beside him, Xiandao and Fuji Zhen sat beside him, one left and one right, and the eyes of the three of them were all on the court.
"Fujima, today's match between us and Ma Gongxi, you and Hanagata will lead the team."
"Let Guan Ping, Futian, and Zhicao assist you." After taking his seat, Shinomiya Tianye suddenly said to Fuji Zhen beside him, he actually arranged the players for today's game.
Fujima was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Coach Taoka behind him, with an inquiry in his eyes.
Coach Taoka saw Fujima looking at him, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "For a team like Ma Gongxi, you just need to watch and fight." ”
"The game with the King of the Mountain the day after tomorrow is what we should pay attention to."
"Hehe, the day after tomorrow, it is the time when we Lingnan will be famous all over the country!" Coach Taoka's eyes were full of enthusiasm when he talked about the mountain king, and when he said this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, and the excitement on his face was not hidden at all.
If the coaches of other teams knew that their team was against the king of the mountain, they would have been discouraged and ready to get a ticket for the return trip, but Coach Taoka looked excited and looking forward to it.
