Chapter 354: Can Even Four Stars Blow?
The practice match date agreed upon by Coach Anzai and Coach Greenwind's big boat was soon approaching. For the people in Xiangbei who are focused on preparing for the national competition, time flies really fast.
As the bus in Xiangbei stopped at the gate of Green Wind, everyone in Xiangbei also got off the bus under the leadership of Coach Anxi.
Around the time of the prefectural competition, Japanese colleges and universities are actually entering the summer vacation. Green Wind, a private school, is actually no exception.
Arriving at the campus gate of Lufeng High School, the Xiangbei team members had to sigh with emotion
"It deserves to be a private aristocratic school". But you can tell the school from the gate
"Hao", looking to the left and right, you can't see the head of this school at all, and the area is so large that the Xiangbei team members have never seen it before.
"Huh~~ It's really rich, this Green Wind High School."
"It turns out that this is what private schools look like, so if you look at it, the basketball hall of this school must be very large." Miyagi Ryota looked around, his expression full of emotion.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga, a few guys who had jumped out of the team at this moment, had already run out of the team on their own and looked towards the green wind campus.
Even a person with a cold personality like Rukawa Kaede showed a little curiosity in his eyes at this moment, and he raised his eyes to look.
"Hmph, no matter how well the school is built, what is the use of the facilities?"
"We're here to play practice matches, not to visit."
"One by one, give me some restraint." Mitsui Shou is a face-saving person, and his family conditions are very good, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, so he is not surprised that Green Wind High School has such a campus environment.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and others who have never seen the world make Mitsui Shou, as the captain, feel embarrassed.
"Ho ho ho
"Let's go inside, Coach Big Boat, already waiting for us." Coach Anzai smiled and said to the players, and then walked towards the campus.
Although the school is big, the people in Xiangbei who come to this school for the first time will not get lost, and the reason is very simple, because there are many road signs on the roads in the campus, and these road signs can guide everyone in Xiangbei to find the gymnasium.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was amazed by this, it was the first time he had seen such a thing as a road sign in the school, and he had never seen the world, which made Mitsui Shou frown frequently.
It didn't take long for everyone in Xiangbei to come to the door of the gymnasium of Lufeng High School, and there was no need for anyone to lead them, Coach Anzai stepped forward and gently opened the door of the gymnasium.
"Wow!!" At the moment when the door opened, amazing cheers came out of the stadium, and looking at the stadium, everyone in Xiangbei found that the basketball hall of Lufeng was actually full of spectators.
It seems that it should be the students of Green Wind High School, obviously it is a holiday, and these students of Green Wind actually came to support their school's basketball team.
When the Xiangbei players entered the stadium, everyone looked around in surprise, and the four-sided platform full of people made the Xiangbei players seem to have returned to the time of the county competition.
No one thought that the basketball hall of a high school was still surrounded by four platforms, and looking at the capacity, I am afraid that it could easily accommodate one or two thousand people to watch the game at the same time.
This kind of generosity made the Xiangbei players who were used to playing in the Xiangbei Stadium dumbfounded.
"Oh!"
"It's like a game, a lot of spectators!" Entering the stadium, even Mitsui Shou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, such a lively scene was like the pomp of a practice match.
Mitsui Shou, who was still a little lacking in interest, also raised some enthusiasm for the sake of the audience.
When the Xiangbei players entered the arena, the players of the basketball club of Green Wind High School were still moving freely on the sidelines, and several players were still carrying the ball and doing simple warm-up activities on the sidelines.
However, when the Xiangbei players entered the court, these green wind players looked at the Xiangbei players one after another.
"Oh! Mike, look, the team from Xiangbei has arrived. ”
"Look at it, the tallest one who follows the old man is the martial arts of the Jingu Temple in Xiangbei."
"The person you want to challenge, it's him, right?!" Seeing the entrance of everyone in Xiangbei, Hai Laoming of Green Wind High School immediately pulled the blonde boy next to him and said excitedly.
"Jinguji Martial Arts?! He's coming?! Mike Okita also raised his head when he heard this, and turned his head to look in the direction where everyone in Xiangbei was.
And just as the Green Wind everyone was looking at the Xiangbei players, Sakuragi and the others were also looking at the Green Wind players.
"Foreigner!"
"Is that person a four-star high school student?" Although everyone in Xiangbei had only heard of Mike Okita's name, when they saw the blonde boy sitting on the Green Wind rest area, the Xiangbei team members instantly determined that the other party was the one who had returned from the United States
"Four-star high school student". Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even call his name, and directly called the other party's four-star master.
At this time, Coach Green Wind's big boat also saw the people from Xiangbei who arrived at the stadium, and quickly stood up from his seat and greeted Coach Anxi.
Martial Arts didn't listen to the greetings between Coach Anzai and Coach Ofune for a while, but looked at Mike Okita.
Although he had never heard of the other party when he was in the United States, Takeshi also had some curiosity about Mike Okita.
After all, it was the first time he had heard that the NBA was watching a four-star high school student. You know, when he was playing with Oak Hill Academy, he also made some waves in the American high school basketball world.
But even then, I haven't heard of an NBA team favoring him. When it comes to paying attention to something, at most, someone on the university team has had some contact with martial arts.
But even those college teams that have come into contact with martial arts are very few. Martial arts can't think that a four-star high school student can be better than himself, he can't get the attention of the NBA, and the other party can get it?
However, Takedo himself seems to have forgotten that Mike Okita is not the same as him, although everyone plays the small forward position, and Martial Arts ranks much higher than Mike Okita among high school students in the United States.
But Mike Okita is white-skinned, and although he is mixed-race, his blonde appearance is also a distinctly white characteristic.
In this era, there is no precedent for the success of the yellow race in the NBA, and in the 90s, the achievements of Jinguji martial arts today have not been surpassed by anyone for the time being.
The reason why Jinguji Martial Arts has not received enough attention is that, on the one hand, there are still too few competitions that can be referenced, and on the other hand, the reason is the skin color of Jinguji Martial Arts!
"The 'Yellow Storm' of Oak Mountain!"
"I've only seen him in magazines before, but it's the first time I've seen him in person."
"The aura is so powerful!" Mike Okita looked at the Jinguji martial arts in the Xiangbei team from afar, feeling the aura emanating from the Jinguji martial arts, and couldn't help muttering.
The Ebina beside him was also surprised when he heard Mike Okita's words, and asked strangely, "Yellow Storm?" It's the first time I've heard it. ”
"Is that the nickname of the Jinguji martial arts? Is he famous in high school basketball in the United States? ”
"No, didn't he just go to the United States and fight for half a year and then couldn't get back?" Ebina's words also made Mike Okita stunned, he had just come back, and it was the first time he knew that Jinguji Martial Arts' reputation here turned out to be like this.
He then grabbed his hair and explained, "It's very famous, he's the ace of Oak Hill High School, and he played an amazing performance just after he entered the team. ”
"As for Oak Hill .... EMMM, to put it simply, is the No. 1 high school in the United States. In terms of strength, it is far from being comparable to the high schools here. Mike Okita's words also surprised Ebina, and it was the first time he knew that Jinguji Martial Arts still had such a name in the American high school basketball world.
Looking at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple in the queue in northern Xiangbei, Ebina couldn't help but ask: "Na, Mike, how are you comparing with Jinguji martial arts?" When Mike Okita heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he shook his head first, then nodded again, and said confidently: "My school is not as powerful as Oak Mountain, but if you want to talk about ability, I shouldn't be too bad for him!" ”
"After all...."Mike Okita still has half a sentence to say, he wants to say, he is white, his talent is better than that of the yellow race, and the ceiling is higher than that of the yellow race.
But Mike Okita is not a fool, it is impossible for him to say such brainless things in front of Ebina and his teammates at Midorifeng High School.
Ebina didn't care about Mike's words, he had already been suppressed by the name of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple for a while.
The Green Wind players around the two of them also heard these words, and everyone's eyes focused on the body of the Martial Arts of Jingu Temple.
And at this time, the manager of the green wind, Huili, came to Xiangbei and greeted everyone in Xiangbei.
"Welcome all of you from Xiangbei to our Green Wind High School."
"It is really an honor for us to be able to play a practice match with the nationally famous Xiangbei High School." In the first two sentences, Huili said that it was quite decent, giving everyone in Xiangbei High School enough face, but the latter sentence made the faces of the Xiangbei team members change slightly.
"But it's a real pity, our Green Wind High School basketball team has just been formed this year, and we can't participate in the summer game yet."
"Otherwise, we can also go to the national competition and see the strong teams in the country!"
"After all, public high schools like Xiangbei can enter the national competition, and if we can participate in the IH qualifiers, we will definitely be able to qualify." Keiri's words can be reacted even by the most sluggish people.
Even Caiko, who has always had a good temper, snorted coldly twice when she heard this: "Heh... Huh.."
"Then we really want to see the strength of your green wind in Xiangbei!" When Huili heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed, glanced at Ayako contemptuously, and said surgingly, "Ah! You'll see it! ”
"Mike of our team is a high school student who came back from the United States."
"In the United States, he is also a famous four-star high school student!"
"Do you know the gold content of a four-star high school student? Only five-star high school students can be stronger than four-star high school students, and among so many high school students who play basketball in the United States, only more than 20 people can be rated as five-star! ”
"You know, the United States and Kanagawa are not the same!"
"Even Kanagawa is not the strongest Xiangbei High School, and in the face of our green wind, there is no possibility of victory at all!" After speaking, Huili covered his mouth and chuckled, glanced at everyone in Xiangbei with contempt, and turned his head and walked towards the rest area of his team.
Her purpose of inviting Xiangbei to play a practice match has been achieved, and at this time, there is no need to pretend to be anything.
After hitting Xiangbei, her goal was achieved. Stepping on Xiangbei High School to make their reputation for green wind is the purpose of Huili's organization of today's practice match!
"What... What! ”
"That woman dares to underestimate us!" Keiri's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi angry, looked at the departing Kei angrily, and said through gritted teeth.
Huiri's attack was too wide, not only Sakuragi Hanamichi's face was angry, but the rest of the team members also looked indignant.
And the most surviving are the two of Jinguji Martial Arts and Mitsui Shou.
"Four-star high school student...."
"It's kind of fun to play in that way." Mitsui Shou said with a smile, he didn't care, and while speaking, he turned his head to look at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and saw that the martial arts were holding his hands behind his head, with an indifferent expression, and he laughed at the moment.
"Hey, Martial Arts, are you going to play in today's game?!" Mitsui Shou asked with a smile, waiting for Takemichi's answer.
"Come on, after all, he's a four-star high school student, and I haven't beaten a few, let's see his strength."
"Yes, it's going to be interesting." Jinguji Takedo looked at Mike Okita from afar and said with a smile. To be honest, in this year's county competition, he didn't play well at all, either because the opponent's strength was too weak, or he didn't have enough playing time.
Being able to fight against Green Wind, Martial Arts is also looking forward to it. When the players in Xiangbei were communicating, Coach Anzai had also discussed matters related to the warm-up match with Coach Green Wind's big boat.
After returning to the team, Coach Anthy led the players to the rest area, and asked the players to change their clothes and start warming up.
Before the warm-up, Coach Anthy made personnel arrangements.
"Everyone must pay attention to this practice match."
"Although Green Wind High School is a new team formed this year, their team members are all good players from all over the country."
"Ace Mike Okita is a player who has returned from the United States!"
"This is a rare opportunity, and you should cherish it."
"Today's starters, Nango Koichiro, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mitsui Kotobuki, Jinguji Martial Arts, Rukawa Kaede."
"The five of you, as starters."
"Miyagi, you get ready, I will send you to play at any time." Hearing Coach Anthy's arrangement, the players who were named as starters became excited one by one.
The players who were not called were a little disappointed, and Akagi Gangxian didn't care when he heard that he didn't have a chance to play, and patted the backs of several starters with a smile and encouragement.
His foot injury hasn't healed yet, and before the national competition, it was good for him to play less!
"Sa, let's go warm up after changing your clothes."
"We see today, the strength of four-star high school students!" Mitsui Shou clapped his hands and shouted at his teammates, looking at Jinguji Martial Arts intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
He really wanted to know what kind of situation a four-star high school student had against the five-star martial arts of Shangu Temple.
This kind of duel can also help Mitsui Shou find his own strength positioning. His ambition is not limited to Kanagawa, but also to Asia!
The players entered to warm up, and Jinguji Takedo and his teammates were doing warm-up exercises, and their eyes glanced at Mike Okita opposite from time to time.
"Can four stars be blown too? If I defeat him, will the NBA be able to pay attention to me?! ”.........................
