Time flies, and at the end of December, high school students in Japan officially welcome their winter vacation.

When most of the students were immersed in the joy of the holiday, the winter tryouts and winter cup also officially kicked off.

The Winter Trials is a national event for schools to participate in, and in terms of the weight of honors, it is not very different from IH in summer, but the intensity of the competition is lower than that of IH.

Because after IH, the vast majority of senior players will retire and concentrate on preparing for the exam. Therefore, in terms of the level of competition, the winter competition is not as good as IH, but the cruelty of the competition is also higher than that of IH.

In the entire Kanagawa Prefecture, there is only one team that is eligible to participate in the national competition. The first thing the players have to do before they go national is to stand out from the county competition.

Kanagawa Prefecture still holds prefectural trials at the prefectural gymnasium.

As the top four teams of IH, Xiangbei, which has broken into the top eight in the country, has byes in the first few rounds of the selection competition and does not need to participate in the competition.

Therefore, a few days before the start of the winter trials, in addition to taking the players to attend the opening ceremony on the first day, Coach Anzai did not take the players to the stadium to watch the football for the next few days, but let the players practice in their own stadium to maintain their competitive state.

It wasn't until 5 days later, when the first few rounds of the game were played and the 8-in-4 game began, that Coach Anzai rushed to the stadium with the players.

The county competition of the winter selection tournament is still divided into 4 large groups for competition, and the teams that have achieved the top four results in IH are scattered among the four major groups as seeded players, such as Lingnan, which is in Group A, and Xiangbei High School, which is in Group B, before the 8-in-4 game, the four seeded teams cannot meet each other.

In the first 8-in-4 game of Xiangbei High School, I met the old county-level strong team, Miuratai High School, of course, this strong team is also relative to other teams, in fact, in front of Xiangbei High School, Miuratai is somewhat not enough.

The result of the game did not surprise the audience, even if Xiangbei High School lacked Jinguji martial arts, it was still not a team that Miuradai High School could touch porcelain.

At the end of the game, Xiangbei defeated the opponent with an overwhelming advantage of 103:67 and advanced to the top 4.

The results of several other competition groups are also within the range of everyone's expectations, Lingnan High School in Group A, Hainan in Group C, and Group D, Xiangyang High School actually stood up a little this winter, knocking over the top four of IH and Buri High School to the ground and winning the last top 4 places.

However, unlike IH's round-robin of the semi-finals, the winter tournament is still a knockout format, and the four teams in the semi-finals draw lots to determine their opponents, and the winner will advance to the finals.

The draw of Xiangbei High School was lucky, and it met the soft persimmon among the top four teams, Xiangyang High School.

Today's Xiangyang High School is not worthy of being called Haoqiang, since the two rookies Fujima Kenji and Hanagata Toru left Lingnan, Xiangyang's strength has been greatly reduced, and there is no spring yet, and Xiangyang High School, which has no fresh blood, can maintain his "Haoqiang" dignity in the face of a team like Buri.

But against Xiangbei High School, which is in the top eight in the country, it is still almost meaningless.

The game with Xiangyang, Xiangbei High School played very easily, and now this Xiangyang is a long-term system, but in terms of height, Xiangbei High School actually doesn't need too much of the other party, Mitsui Shou's height is now close to 190cm, Chiba Oshi and Akagi Gangxian, both exceed 190cm, of which Akagi is even 195cm.

Although the guard line is a little shorter, relying on the three of them, it is enough to support the inside line of Xiangbei High School.

However, what Xiangbei High School is best at is the run-and-bomb tactics, and Xiangyang's long-term system can't keep up with the offensive rhythm of Xiangbei at all.

At the same time, relying on Mitsui Shou's unsolvable singles that can be thrown suddenly, Xiangbei firmly grasped the initiative throughout the game and pressed Xiangyang to play.

It was only at this time that the audience in Kanagawa Prefecture finally came back to the taste, it turned out that Mitsui Shou of Xiangbei High School has always been the Mitsui Shou, and after the loss of Jinguji martial arts, Mitsui Shou, who played with the ball, became the focus of the whole game.

In the end, Xiangbei defeated Xiangyang 97:77 and entered the final. And Mitsui Shou successfully attracted the attention of many college scouts and coaches who came to see the game with 46 points in a single game.

Kanagawa's competition is quite attractive, after all, IH's national overlord, Lingnan High School, is in Kanagawa Prefecture.

In this year's national team youth training, Lingnan High School's Xiandao Akira and Shinomiya Tianye both shined in the youth training, which has attracted the attention of many university coaches and scouts.

Today, in fact, many people came to see these two people from Lingnan High School, and at the same time, they also held another player who took a look at the "Kanagawa Twins" by the way. But what people didn't expect was that Jinguji Martial Arts didn't see it, but instead found a player like Mitsui Shou, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

And it was after today's game that Mitsui Shou was really noticed by the university's basketball coaches and scouts.

Not long after the competition between Xiangbei High School and Xiangyang came to an end, it was followed by the competition between Lingnan High School and Hainan.

In the face of Hainan, Coach Taoka had no intention of keeping his hands at all, and directly sent the Shinomiya Tanno and Sendo offensive duo, and at the same time sent Hanagata, Uzumi and Fujima Kenji to escort the two.

Lingnan adopted a double-split style of play, and under the firepower of Lingnan High School, Hainan gradually couldn't support it and began to show defeat.

In the 13th minute of the first half of the game, Hainan completely collapsed, and the difference between the two teams quickly widened.

By halftime, the difference between the two teams had reached 16 points.

At the beginning of the second half, Sinomiya Field was full of firepower, quickly stretching the difference to 20 points, and the next 20 minutes of the game, for Hainan, it was torment.

In the end, Lingnan High School defeated Hainan 113-68, and this huge gap made Coach Tianoka smile.

And the high-headed coach who lost the game has a gloomy face that can drip water. While he was annoyed by the lack of strength of the team, he was also annoyed that this bastard had no face at all, and he had clearly established the victory, and he still had Shinomiya Tianye and Sendo on the field.

And these two bastards don't talk about martial arts at all, their Hainan team members obviously have no ability to resist, and these two guys still look like they are "working hard" and scoring crazy points.

This huge disparity in points made the former Kanagawa overlord have a dull face. At the same time, it also makes the idea of the high-head coach to strengthen in the coming year more and more firm.

"It's not enough to invite tough freshmen! We in Hainan also need to supplement the strong senior players! ”

"Bastard Taoka, I'll make you pay!"

The high-headed coach angrily broke the folding fan in his hand, and he didn't know why he brought a folding fan in the winter....

After leaving the court, Coach Gao seemed to have thought of something, and did not stay to watch the next game with the players, but left the stadium in a hurry after a few words of advice.

I got on the train to Aichi Prefecture right away.

Some time ago, Coach Gao Tou heard from a friend that there is a very potential junior high school student in Aichi Prefecture, although he has not been playing for a long time, but his physical talent is really good. Originally, the high-headed coach still had his own arrogance, thinking about them in Hainan, where will there be a shortage of potential freshmen in the coming year?

But today's game hit him too hard, the high-headed coach has already caught fire, thrown away all his arrogance and reserve, and is about to dig people with a hoe, he can't wait to form his ideal Hainan High School and complete revenge!

The next day, Xiangbei High School faced the national overlord Lingnan High School in the county gymnasium.

Before the game, all the spectators did not see Xiangbei High School, which was missing the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and after the game officially started, the direction was as expected by the audience, Sinomiya Tianye and Xiandao cooperated with each other, and no one could stop them on the court.

It was already very troublesome for these two people to meet one, and in the face of the two joining forces, Xiangbei had no power to change hands at all.

And Coach Tian Gang is also quite aware of the attributes of the team of Xiangbei High School, as soon as he came up, he sent Shinomiya Tianye to keep an eye on Mitsui Shou with all his might, and at the same time, he also asked Xiandao to fill in the position at any time to assist in the defense, and when the time is right, he can let go of Mu Du Gongyan.

Lingnan High School's defensive strategy is quite successful, and the already excellent single defense ability of the Shinomiya Field has a good impact on Mitsui Shou's outside shooting rate, and at the same time, Mitsui Shou has no way to rely on his own ability to break through the Shinomiya Field, even if he completes the breakthrough with his teammates' blocking and dismantling cover, Xiandao will also fill in the position as soon as possible.

The strongest firepower point in Xiangbei was forcibly suppressed by Lingnan High School, but it was Mu Dui Gongyan, who would get the opportunity to shoot from time to time, and scored a few goals to keep Xiangbei from being dumb.

In this game, Coach Anzai didn't think about the inside attack, relying on the strength of Akagi Goken and Chiba Oishi, it was impossible to gain an advantage in the combination of Uozumi and Hanagata.

As the game progressed, Xiangbei High School also showed its decline, and in the face of the bag of Shinomiya Field and Sendo, Mitsui Shou was not often able to complete the ball from between the two.

When basketball is blocked, it is self-evident what the result will be.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School was 16 points behind, and at the beginning of the second half, although Mitsui Shou broke out, he was quickly pressed.

In the end, Lingnan High School defeated Xiangbei with a score of 103:74 and won the only national ticket in Kanagawa Prefecture.

...

On the day that Lingnan High School advanced to the national competition, it happened to be Christmas.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, Jinguji Martial Arts is participating in a "Christmas War" held by the main school of Oak Hill Academy. Their opponents are outstanding graduates from Oak Mountain, some have played in the NBA, and some have been active in the NCAA.

Although it was a performance competition, the students of Oak Hill Academy played very seriously. And those seniors of Oak Hill Academy, seeing that the juniors were fighting seriously, unconsciously adjusted their mentality and began to deal with these young juniors well.

As a result, of course, there was no suspense, and the seniors won the game with 97:81, although there was also a release, but the seniors spoke very highly of the juniors.

Especially the yellow man in the team, played 31 minutes, scored 33 points in the whole game, the outside projection is accurate, and the strength is very amazing, it is hard to imagine that such a kid is actually a yellow race, and he is only a freshman in high school.

After the exhibition match, the United States also began to have a winter vacation, and Wu Dao had no idea of going back, so he applied to stay in school. There was nothing else to do during the holidays, except for being invited to play at a teammate's house, and staying in the school's playground to play.

Some students who have nothing to do during the holidays will also rub the gym when they are training in martial arts, and the coach has no opinion on this, and martial arts is also happy to have someone to accompany him, although playing wild ball does not necessarily have much effect on the improvement of strength, but martial arts is still very happy to play with these students.

And after the holidays, Oak Hill Academy began to play and train intensively.

Wu Dao also fought with the team in half a year, such as many colleges and universities in Indiana and Kentucky, and he has left his figure to fight.

It's just a pity that the little blacksmith he has been thinking about has no chance to fight with the other party.

With the increase in Jinguji martial arts, his average score per game has stabilized at around 34 per game, and at the same time, he has officially climbed the top 100 high school students in the United States, ranking 27th.

...

The Winter Trials in Japan officially came to an end in January.

Lingnan High School has completed two consecutive championships of IH and Winter Cup with a strong attitude. Shinomiya Tianye won the MVP of the competition for a second time, and in the first year of high school, he has already received the favor of countless universities in China, and he sent out invitations early. But at this time, the four palaces also set their sights on the outside.

After consulting with Coach Taoka, it was decided that after the end of the third year of high school, he went to the United States through the recommendation of Coach Taoka.

And since knowing Shinomiya's thoughts and plans, Coach Taoka and Shinomiya Tianye's family have both made great efforts, not only inviting professional trainers and nutritionists to Shinomiya Tianye, but also catching up with the school leaders of Duke University. Promised to give Shinomiya Tana a chance to try out in the future.

Although it was only a chance to tryout, it was enough for Shinomiya Tianye!

After the end of the winter season, all the teams began to gather their strength and prepare for the summer IH.

...

April in Kanagawa is pink and blue.

The cherry blossoms and the sea are the most beautiful scenery of the season.

The breeze blew and brought off the petals on the tree, and the light pink petals fell with the wind, surrounded by bright red hair in the middle....

"Hahaha!"

"Xiangbei! Today is coming! ”

On the path in front of the campus of Xiangbei High School, Sakuragi Hanamichi put his hands in his pockets and laughed wildly.

The long-awaited enrollment has finally arrived! Of course, Sakuragi Hanamichi is not looking forward to enrolling in basketball for anything, but ......

When I arrived at the cherry tree flower road at the gate of the Xiangbei campus, I looked around, and sure enough, at the school gate! When he saw the figure in his heart, he immediately looked overjoyed and shouted:

"Haruko ~~~~~"

And Sakuragi's voice instantly attracted the attention of many students around him.

Just as Sakuragi was happily running towards Haruko, a tall figure suddenly walked out of the school gate and stopped in front of Haruko, glaring at Sakuragi.

"Ah~gorilla!" Sakuragi couldn't brake and crashed headlong into Akagi's arms. At this time, Haruko also poked her head out from behind Akagi and asked with concern, "Sakuragi, are you okay?" ”

"Huh... Haha......"

"It's fine."

Sakuragi smiled awkwardly, and was about to say hello and chat with Haruko, when Akagi grabbed him by the collar.

"It's just right, let's go, let's go and fill out the application first."
