Chapter 311: Even a Talent, but also a Fool...
Xiangbei High School won Miuratai with a score of 121:57 and advanced to the top four of the county competition.
Moreover, the local sports media in Kanagawa Prefecture also paid considerable attention to Xiangbei High School, and on the second day of the game, the newspaper reported on the front page of the headline, but this front page headline was not exclusive to Xiangbei High School.
Lingnan High School, which also easily advanced to the top four, also shared part of the layout.
However, there is one point that Xiangbei has an advantage, that is, the photo on the front page of the newspaper, which uses the photo of Sakuragi Hanamichi slamming a dunk in the game at that time.
Early in the morning, when Sakuragi Hanamichi came to school, he heard about his newspaper appearance, and directly "borrowed" a sum of money from Yopei, went to buy a lot of newspapers outside the school, and became a free "newsboy" in the school, promoting his "glorious deeds".
"Sakuragi, this kid, is really in the newspaper....."
When Jinguji Martial Arts came to school early in the morning, he was also stuffed with a newspaper by the "newsboy" Sakuragi Hanamichi. When I returned to the classroom, I really saw a report about Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Shocked, Xiangbei rookie, Red Devil Sakuragi Flower Road!"
Looking at the exaggerated titles with different fonts on the photos, Wu Dao couldn't help but laugh. After a brief glance, I put it in the drawer of the seat.
Kanagawa Prefecture's prefectural selection system is different from the national competition, and the prefectural competition is much more user-friendly than the back-to-back death competition system of the national competition.
After entering the semi-finals, Xiangbei High School officially ushered in the semi-finals round-robin three days later.
The four teams that entered the round-robin this year are Lingnan High School, Hainan University Affiliated High School, Xiangbei High School, and Xiangyang High School, a strong local school in Kanagawa Prefecture.
And the first game of Xiangbei High School in the semi-finals round-robin was against Xiangyang High School.
When he was in the first year of martial arts high school, Kenji Fuji and Toru Hanagata, the second-year students of Shoyang at that time, had a conflict with the coach of the team, and both left Shoyang High School. And after the two of them left Xiangyang High School and entered Lingnan, they helped Lingnan High School win the championship of the national competition.
The senior management of Xiangyang High School naturally noticed that the two second-year students who ran away from Xiangyang High School who played brilliantly in the national competition. was directly furious, and blamed the then head coach of Xiangyang and forced him to resign.
Until the start of this year's county competition, Xiangyang High School was unable to find a coach for the right team, and the seat of Xiangyang head coach has always been replaced by a manager who does not know how to play.
Although there is no coach, Xiangyang High School is an old and strong school after all, and the source of students every year is not bad. Even without a coach, Xiangyang still maintains a considerable degree of combat effectiveness.
Relying on the solid heritage, this year's Xiangyang still broke into the top four of the county competition.
This kind of strength also makes many fans sigh, and it is really surprising that Xiangyang still has such a performance without a coach.
Merely.... Xiangyang's good fortune will come to an end today.
...
"I really didn't expect it! Even without a coach, Xiangyang High School still reached the semifinals this year. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? However, Fujima and Hanagata's choice was really wise, and they went to Lingnan and won the national championship. ”
"On the other hand, today's Xiangyang, it is already thankful that it can reach the top four."
In the Kanagawa Prefectural Stadium, the semi-final round-robin tournament is about to begin, and the match between Xiangbei High School and Xiangyang High School will begin. The players of the two teams are still making final preparations on the sidelines, and the spectators watching the game are looking at the current Xiangyang High School and whispering.
Most of the viewers who came to see the game today have some understanding of local high school basketball. Although they are both in the top four, Xiangyang High School and Xiangbei High School are now completely two-level schools. Not to mention that Xiangbei High School has the top scorer in the country like Jinguji Martial Arts, even if there is no Jinguji Martial Arts, the strength of Xiangbei High School is far from being comparable to Xiangyang.
In the rest area of Xiangbei High School, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede and others gathered in front of Coach Anzai and listened to Coach Anzai make the final arrangements before going on the field.
That's right, in the face of Xiangyang High School, Xiangbei High School still plans to use the group of freshmen in the first grade, but the lineup has changed slightly, and Oda Ryumasa was replaced by Kami Ichiro.
"The opponent in today's game is different from the Miura Dai you met in the last game."
"Although Xiangyang has no coach now, their strength is still not to be underestimated."
"Of course, you don't have to be too nervous, just play according to the training, today's pizza, use the triangle attack."
"Nanxiang, Kemei, and Ruchuan, the three of you must cooperate well."
Coach Anthy glanced at the timer on the sidelines and made the final arrangements for the players. At this time in the original time and space, Coach Anxi should have had a heart attack and went to the hospital to be hospitalized, and missed the game between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan. In today's world, nothing like that is happening.
Under the reminder and attention of Wu Dao, Coach Anzai found out that he had heart problems as early as a year ago, and through diet control and drug treatment, his condition has been alleviated. There were no heart attacks in the middle of the coaching process.
"Yes, Coach!" Rukawa Kaede and the others listened to Coach Anzai's arrangement, and nodded in unison, but when they came to Sakuragi Hanamichi, there was another trouble.
"Daddy.... Do you want to play a triangle offense?! ”
"Don't, I think my attack is also very strong! Or, I'm playing with the ball? ”
Hearing that today's game was going to play a triangle attack, Sakuragi immediately had an opinion. In the triangle offensive system of the first grade of Xiangbei, Sakuragi is a weak triangle and a marginal person. Sakuragi, who had just made a splash in the competition against Miuradai, was no longer willing to be a green leaf, and he felt that he could take on the role of Rukawa Kaede.
"Hey! Red-haired monkey, what stupid thing are you talking about?! ”
"Just you, you can play with the ball?!"
Nango Zoichiro immediately quit when he heard this, he is the inside core of the first-year triangle offense, and Sakuragi wants to play with the ball? Isn't this just stealing the ball from him?!
"Bleached monkeys, shut up!" Sakuragi glared back at Nango, not giving in.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Coach Anzai silently turned his head and glanced at Akagi Goken, who was sitting on the bench. The latter stood up silently, and came behind Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango silently, and smashed a fist on the top of the two of them, which immediately quieted the two of them.
"Haha.... Two idiots! ”
Kiyota Nobunaga saw that Sakuragi and Nango were being taught a lesson, and immediately laughed gloatingly.
Seeing that Sakuragi and Nango were quiet, Coach Anzai paused and continued:
"Sakuragi, in the second half, you can try to do Nango's work."
"Remember, second half."
Coach Anzai has a very accurate grasp of Sakuragi's Hanamichi character, and he knows that if Sakuragi is not allowed to see hope, this kid may not know how long he will make trouble. After asking Akagi to give him a big stick, he fed a sweet date.
While exercising Sakuragi, Coach Anzai also hopes to give Nango a sense of urgency, so that Sakuragi and Nango can form a good competition.
“ohhhh!
!
”
"Daddy, you agreed! What a wisdom! ”
"Hahaha!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who heard Coach Anzai's words, immediately became active, and Nango also pouted disdainfully, he was different from Sakuragi, although he was also a noisy character, but in front of Coach Anzai, he was still quite polite and would not openly refute Coach Anzai's meaning.
"Huh... Do you think the interior pillar of the triangle offense is that easy to play? ”
"Coach Anthy will see your performance later, and you will know how good I really am."
Nango thought to himself as he walked onto the court with his teammates.
Not long after the people in Xiangbei entered the stadium, Xiangyang's starters also appeared.
“oh... The people in Xiangyang are very tall..."
Nango Koichiro and his teammates walked to the middle circle and took their respective positions. After seeing Xiangyang's team members appear, Nango Yuichiro also sighed lightly in some surprise.
Several of Xiangyang's starters are quite good in height. Hasegawa, Nagano and several others are all over 190cm tall, and the shortest point guard in the team is also 180cm tall, which is obviously a lot taller than the Miuradai he met yesterday. At the same time, the average height of this group of people in Xiangbei in front of the Xiangyang team members also suffered a small loss.
Today, Shoyo's captain is Hasegawa, who wears the No. 4 jersey. This infamous Xiangyang third grade sits firmly in the position of Xiangyang's captain.
When Jinguji Martial Arts saw that it was Hasegawa who was wearing a 4 good jersey, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "There are no tigers in the mountains." ”
Glancing at the team members in Xiangyang, Wu Dao couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Today's Xiangyang can't even beat our substitute in Xiangbei." ”
"It seems that there are a few of us, and there is no chance to play in today's game."
...
In the stadium, Xiangbei and Xiangyang, who were in the middle circle, looked at each other.
The referee walked into the pitch with the ball after the players of both teams were in position, and after a whistle, threw the ball directly into the air to announce the start of the game.
"Smack!
”
There was a soft sound in the center of the court, and Nango Koichiro pressed Shoichi Takano of Xiangyang and grabbed the jump ball first. The basketball was held by Nobunaga Kiyota in the backcourt.
"Well done, bleached monkeys!"
Kiyota Nobunaga praised Nango Koichiro with a rare word, and then raised a finger and confidently shouted to the team members:
"Come on! Offensive! ”
"Win the ball steadily!"
Although the words in Kiyota Nobunaga's mouth are relatively calm, the movements of his feet and hands are not as calm as his mouth.
After getting the jump ball and greeting the players, Kiyota Nobunaga quickly rushed to the front court with the ball, looking like he was planning to play a fast attack.
"Back to the defense! Hurry up and get back to defense! ”
Hasegawa shouted to his teammates as he reached out to interfere as Kiyota Nobunaga burst forward. It's just that his interference was easily dodged by Kiyota's bad luck, and Kiyota also successfully approached the three-point line.
"Hey, hey, Xiangyang High School."
"The speed is average, too."
It didn't take a few seconds for Nobunaga Kiyota to go from receiving the ball in the backcourt to bringing it up to the frontcourt, and when he approached the three-point line, Shoyo's players had just finished their positions. The speed of the return defense can only be regarded as so-so, which may have something to do with the height of the Xiangyang players.
But not all elders have terrifying speed like Jinguji Martial Arts and Sakuragi.
Kiyota Nobunaga, who was aware of this, did not hesitate at all, and shot directly into the empty three-point shot.
After entering Xiangbei High School, Kiyota Nobunaga was trained by Coach Anzai in the direction of guards, in addition to requiring Kiyota to have an excellent dribble, Coach Anzai also practiced Kiyota's projection.
Although Kiyota Nobunaga's three-point shot is immature, it is not at all, and in today's situation, Kiyota also dares to shoot.
"Bell~~"
The basketball flew over the crowd of players and landed towards the basket. However, Kiyota's strength seemed to be too small, and the basketball smashed into the front of the basket, making a crisp iron sound.
"Ahhh
”
"Idiot wild monkey, what the hell shooting?!"
At the moment when Kiyota shot, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango were just entering the inside line, and they didn't occupy the favorable terrain at all, so Kiyota shot directly.
With the appearance of rebounding, the two were also quickly stuck by Xiangyang's inside line and lost the best position to grab the board.
If it is against an ordinary team, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango can still snatch rebounds with their height and bounce even if they have no position, after all, the center of the average high school team is only about 185cm tall.
However, the height of Xiangyang's interior line is more than 190cm, and it is no problem to control the backcourt rebounds in the case of occupying a favorable location.
"Smack!"
Shoichi Takano stuck Nango's position, jumped up and grabbed the ball in his hand, and after landing on the ground, he directly held the ball in his arms, and waited for Sakuragi and Nango to realize that there was no chance to start retreating, and then gave the ball to the point guard of their own team.
The ball was easily turned, and Xiangyang launched a counterattack.
"Qingtian, this kid, is it floating?!"
Mitsui Shou couldn't help frowning when he saw Kiyota Nobunaga handle the jump ball like this.
"Don't care, it's normal for him to behave like this with such a character."
"Young man, when he is beaten, he will naturally put away his contempt."
"Although Xiangyang has no coach, he can reach the top four, and his strength is not weak."
"Those players are tall and not too slow, and even if there are no star players to dominate the offense, the defensive end is definitely enough for these first-year drinkers."
"Look, if this kid Qingtian is such a wave, he will soon suffer."
Jinguji Martial Arts looked at the two teams in the field that were easy to turn off, his eyes fell on Kiyota Nobunaga, and said with a smile. In fact, not only Kiyota Nobunaga has the mentality of underestimating opponents, but Sakuragi Hanamichi, Nango and others also have it. The previous big victory against Miuradai made these first-year students float, thinking that high school basketball, but that's it.
As soon as the words of the martial arts side fell, Xiangyang had already entered the front court. Although there is no coach, Shoyang's basic cooperation is still there, Yin Tengzhuo with the help of Shoichi Takano's high blocking, easily past Kiyota's defense, after the breakthrough to attract Sakuragi's supplementary defense, the ball to the mid-distance vacant Nagano Man.
And Nango, at this time, Shoichi Takano, who went down after being blocked and dismantled, attracted attention, and did not pay attention to Sakuragi's missed Nagano Man, who took the ball and shot directly in the middle distance, and the basketball went directly into the net.
"Huh!" With a soft sound, the match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, Xiangyang High School took the lead in scoring.
"These guys are both talented and stupid.....
"But wake up quickly....."
Seeing that Xiangyang scored easily, Wu Dao couldn't help but murmur.
Xiangyang High School,It's really not weak.,Xiangbei was able to win in the original time and space.,The main reason is just because Fuji Zhen underestimated Xiangbei's plot kill.,In the last few minutes,Fuji Zhen, the super ace card who played Miyagi in a misplaced position.,Actually didn't get a point.,Not to mention the whole half of the water release in front.。
The long man system led by the flower shape once collapsed Xiangbei, and after Fuji Zhen came up, the offensive end was not strengthened to any extent, which can be seen from the final score of 60+ between the two teams.
Although today's Xiangyang has no flower shape and Fujima, the height of the other players is the same, and the style of play has continued.
What's more, at this time, the Xiangbei team on the field did not have Akagi Gangxian and Miyagi Ryota. Nango's dominance under the basket is not as good as Akagi's, and Kiyota is not necessarily stronger than Miyagi in terms of small fights, and Rukawa Kaede's offensive firepower may not be able to explode perfectly. This can be seen from the score in the original book.
In the eyes of martial arts, the strength of this group of first-year students in Xiangbei is only one line higher than that of Xiangyang, if they don't fight seriously, these boys may overturn.
