"It's... What's going on with this grouping?! ”

On the train, Mitsui Shou held the magazine and exhaled in a low voice, and his words immediately ushered in the curiosity of the surrounding Xiangbei team members, and they all gathered around.

Previously, Coach Anzai, who had already learned about the grouping of the national competition, did not tell the players about it.

It wasn't until today that Mitsui Shou, who was looking through the magazine, learned about the specific situation of the grouping in Xiangbei of the national competition.

Seeing the opponent in the second game, even Mitsui Shou couldn't help but whisper.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?!"

"What's wrong with the grouping?"

"Huh? Fengyu High School, Junior, is this opponent very powerful? So surprised you? ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi pounced excitedly, with his chin against Mitsui Shou's head, and looked at the magazine in Mitsui Shou's hand from behind Mitsui Shou. After seeing the first opponent of Xiangbei's group, Fengyu High School, he asked suspiciously.

Sakuragi really doesn't pay more attention to high school basketball, and his eyes are currently limited to Kanagawa Prefecture.

"What a stupid thing."

"Look at our opponent in the second game."

Mitsui Shou pointed to the magazine, and when he saw the name of Sanno Industries, Sakuragi Hanamichi still had no idea, and he had a puzzled expression.

On the contrary, Akagi and Mu Dui Gongyan, who were sitting opposite, were shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously whispered in unison:

"What?! Sanno Industries! ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi has no concept of Sanno Industries, but Akagi Goken and Kishu Konobu are all too familiar with the name "Sanno Industries".

Before Lingnan High School, Sanno Kogyo in Akita Prefecture was undoubtedly the strongest high school in the country, and there was no one!

The dominant Sanno Industries, which has been in the basketball world of King's Landing High School for decades, is the common goal of all players who are aiming for a national championship.

In last year's Autumn Sports, Akagi Tsuyoshi also played against players from Akita Prefecture, although during the Autumn Championship, their Kanagawa Prefecture team defeated Akita Prefecture and won the championship.

But in that game, the Akita Prefecture team still showed good strength.

Unlike the Kanagawa Prefecture team, most of the players on the Akita Prefecture team were selected from the Sanno Kogyo team.

In other words, Kanagawa Prefecture gathered the elite of the whole prefecture to win the championship from Akita Prefecture.

Last year, Sanno Kogyo and Lingnan High School watched the game between Akagi and Konobu Kishi, and it can be said that under Yeongnam High School, Sanno Kogyo is definitely the team with the most hope of winning the national championship.

may be in the eyes of most audiences across the country, the popularity and strength of the Mountain King are even stronger than those of Lingnan and Xiangbei. Even though Lingnan High School has won the national championship, the deep-rooted ideas in the hearts of the audience cannot be completely reversed by relying on one IH.

The King of the Mountain is definitely a first-class hero in the high school basketball world! It's an opponent that all teams don't want to meet too soon.

But now, Xiangbei High School is about to meet the king of the mountain in the second game of the national competition, which is not good news for Xiangbei.

It is precisely because of this that Mitsui Shou's reaction is so big.

"Sanno Industry, it's really Sanno Industry!"

"We are so unlucky that we met the Mountain King so early, this is a tough battle!"

Akagi Tsuyoken regained his composure after a brief moment of surprise, but looking at the magazine in Mitsui Shou's hand, Akagi couldn't help but sigh that bad luck was good.

In the corner of the carriage, Ayako also heard the discussion of the players, looking at the Xiangbei players who had gathered together, Coloro couldn't help but ask Coach Anzai beside her:

"Coach, is it really good not to tell the players about the grouping before?"

"Today we are going to Hiroshima, after the opening ceremony this afternoon, tomorrow is against Toyotama, if we win Toyotama smoothly, the day after tomorrow, we will meet Sanno Industries back-to-back."

"Although Shanwang Industry lost the title of national hegemon last year, there is no doubt that for us in Xiangbei, Shanwang is definitely an opponent that should not be underestimated."

"Wouldn't it be good to tell the players about the grouping as early as possible so that the players have plenty of time for mental construction?"

The Xiangbei team members who got the grouping situation gathered together, discussing the situation of the grouping gossip, and in the words of Akagi and Mu Dui, they could also hear their worried emotions, and such emotions quickly spread among the players.

The famous Shanwang Industry has given huge psychological pressure to the Xiangbei players.

Ayako is also a little worried about this, for fear that because of the grouping, it will affect the mentality of the players. It's a good thing that the game is approaching.

"I don't want to put some unnecessary pressure on them."

"And, Ayako."

"Don't take our players too lightly."

"As long as that guy is mentally stable, the rest of the team will soon calm down."

"The role of the ace can not only be reflected on the field!"

Coach Anzai heard this, turned his head and glanced at the players, then turned his head and said with a smile, not caring at all.

"I'm going to meet the King of the Mountain for the second time! We're out of luck! ”

"Yes, yes, they still have a bye in the first round, we have to face the King of the Mountain directly after playing Fengyu, this back-to-back, there is no time to rest at all."

"Eh, I heard that this year's team members of the Mountain King basically maintain last year's configuration. I remember that in last year's IH, the three centers, guards, and small forwards of the Mountain King were all in the first and second grades. ”

"In other words, this year's strength of the Mountain King will not be much worse than last year!"

"Not necessarily, maybe the King of the Mountains doesn't have a good substitute this year? In this way, isn't the strength worse? ”

The players in Xiangbei were talking about the team and players of the Mountain King, and they were a little jealous of the strength of the Mountain King. Even Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango, who are usually the most unattended, are full of worries for a while.

They weren't rookies like Sakuragi Hanamichi, and to be honest, if they had the chance, they would have wanted to go to Sanno Industries....

"Okay, don't be the king of the mountain, the king of the mountain."

"Now that the grouping has been decided, it's useless to say anything else!"

"The strength of Sanwang Industry, I have expectations, their main players are still there this year, and their strength is only stronger than last year, you don't have to have illusions about this."

"However, for us in Xiangbei, it doesn't matter whether the king of the mountain is strong or weak."

"These are all opponents we need to beat!"

Mitsui Shou also seemed to sense that there was something wrong with the emotions of the team members, and some of the young first and second year team members were actually timid before fighting, and hurriedly clapped their hands and calmed down.

Mitsui Shou's words had some effect, and the simple Sakuragi nodded emphatically and shouted directly:

"That's right! It's the same in the morning and in the evening! ”

"Since our goal is the national championship, then whether it is the king of the mountain or the mountain people, it is good to defeat it together!"

Sakuragi's response made Mitsui Shou very satisfied, and Kiyota and Nango couldn't help but complain about Sakuragi's fearless appearance, "What a rookie says".

But after Sakuragi Hanamichi's words, the mood of the Xiangbei team members obviously stabilized.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice rang out.

"It's always been the king of the mountain, I'm very unhappy to hear it!"

"Down with the Mountain King?!"

"You guys, didn't you see that the opponent of your first game was our Fengyu High School?"

"We, Fengyu, are we some kind of team that doesn't enter the stream?"

"What do you say now to bring down the King of the Mountain? It's too early to say big, hey! ”

As he spoke, someone hooked Kiyota Nobunaga's shoulder from behind, and turned his head to look, Kiyota saw a young man, who was looking at him squintly for a while.

"Fengyu's team members." Akagi Tsuyoshi heard the words and turned his head to look, only then did he suddenly realize that the train seemed to have arrived at Osaka Station.

"Hey! What are you doing! Don't hurry up and let go, Kishimoto! ”

"Sorry, sorry, didn't get hurt, right?"

At this moment, the coach of Fengyu High School hurriedly ran over and scolded Minori Kishimoto.

"Whew-"

"Coach, why apologize, they ignored us Fengyu first, this is an insult!"

Although Kishimoto Minori let go of Kiyota Nobunaga, he still looked unhappy and complained.

"Fengyu, we really didn't take you seriously!"

"What are you going to do?"

At this moment, the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, who had been sitting and pretending to sleep and had not participated in the previous discussion in Xiangbei, suddenly straightened his waist, leaned on the back of the chair, and asked with a smile towards Kishimoto Minori.

Kishimoto Shiri moved his gaze and saw the moment he saw the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink.

"Xiangbei High School's Jinguji Martial Arts, one of the rumored Kanagawa twin stars!"

"Last year, we lost to him!"

After carefully looking at the martial arts of Jingu Temple for a while, Kishimoto's strength suddenly chuckled, and said stiffly:

"The name is quite loud, but it's just a name."

"Look at the book you have in your hand!"

"It's an A-level Xiangbei High School like our Fengyu, why do you underestimate our Fengyu?!"

While speaking, Fengyu's coach saw that the train was about to depart, and the team members had not yet taken their seats, so he couldn't help but urge: "Let's go, Kishimoto, go to our own carriage." ”

Hearing this, Kishimoto waved his hand casually, and said with a thorn in his words:

"Jinguji Martial Arts, see you on the field, I will let you and your Xiangbei, definitely not the first round!"

"Still trying to fight with the King of the Mountain? Frog at the bottom of the well! ”

As he spoke, Kishimoto followed the coach and the rest of the team to their own car. Jinguji Martial Arts subsided for a while, and looked at the back of Kishimoto Minori leaving, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he looked down at the magazine in Mitsui's hand.

Sure enough, the magazine not only posted the team's matchtable, but also marked the word "A" next to the team's signature, which is undoubtedly the magazine's rating of the participating teams.

The rating of Xiangbei High School is A-grade, and similarly, the rating of Fengyu High School is only A-grade.

Looking away, Wu Dao took a rough look at the ratings of all the other teams, and the comprehensive evaluation surpassed the A level and reached the AA level, there were only two teams, one was last year's national overlord, Lingnan High School, and the other was their opponent in the second game in Xiangbei, Sanwang Industry!

As for the third opponent of Xiangbei High School, it is Meitomo Industry of Aichi Prefecture, which also has an A rating.

Of the dozens of teams participating in the competition, only a dozen of them have reached the A level, and the opponents faced in a series of knockout matches in Xiangbei are either A-level or AA-level, not to mention C-level teams, and even B-level teams can't be encountered, and luck can be said to be quite "wow".

However, what Wudao cares about the most is not the schedule that Xiangbei is about to face, but the rating of Xiangbei's A.

It's really .....

"It's actually just an A, not an AA level like Lingnan and Shanwang, is our Xiangbei underestimated? Or does the editor-in-chief of the magazine think that I, the ace card of Xiangbei, is not as strong as Zebei of the Mountain King or the Four Palaces of Lingnan? ”

Wu Dao was a little unhappy, although he didn't care about these vain.... Name.....

But then again, if the old folks at Oak Hill saw him mixed up like this, would they laugh at him?

Those universities that were originally interested in him, seeing that Xiangbei led by him could not reach the top here, would they have other ideas? Martial arts had to consider these.

"Hey, Martial Arts, here's your player profile."

"I didn't expect that your personal evaluation actually reached the AA level."

Not long after the sight of martial arts fell on the magazine, Mitsui Shou, who noticed the sight of martial arts, began to turn the page, and just behind the national competition table, the magazine published some players who had a certain reputation throughout the country, and the thin two-page paper introduced more than 40 players.

Jinguji Martial Arts is at the beginning of one of the pages, alongside Shinomiya Field.

Looking at it, it is not only Jinguji Martial Arts who have received AA level evaluations for individual players, but also Shinomiya Field, Sendo Akira and Fuji Zhen of Lingnan High School have all received this evaluation, and they Xiangbei, in addition to Jinguji Martial Arts on the list, there is also Mitsui Shou who has also received AA level evaluations.

There are many on the side of Sanno Industries, and Eiji Sawakita, Masashi Kawada, Kazunari Fukatsu, and Minoru Matsumoto are all AA-level evaluations. Aichi Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and so on and so forth.

There are nearly 20 people who have reached the AA level evaluation.

At a glance, Wu Dao was not only not happy that he had received an AA rating, but he only felt that the rating of this magazine was really not golden.

Wu Dao admitted that the ability of some AA-level players he knew published in the magazine was indeed good, but he had to compare it with whom.

Is the AA grade of Eiji Zebei the same as the AA grade of Nanlie?

And Zebei's AA level, compared with the martial arts of Jingu Temple, there is a big gap in strength between the two.

"It seems that the results of last year's IH and the results of this year's county competition have made Xiangbei underestimated."

"Little San, I have decided, in the game with Fengyu, Shanwang and other teams, we in Xiangbei must show overwhelming strength!"

"You, Akagi, and Chiba are all in their last year, and we need to make Xiangbei's big victory and open up a path for your future!"

"I'm not worried about you here, the University of Tsukuba has promised you before, but Akagi and Chiba, I heard that no university has thrown an olive branch yet."

"I think a simple victory is not enough!"

...

The train roared and sped towards Hiroshima.

At noon, the train finally stopped at Hiroshima Station, and under the leadership of Coach Anzai, the Xiangbei players officially checked into the hotel where the team was entertained.

In the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the national competition was held at the Hiroshima Center Arena.

Heroes from all over the country gathered together to welcome the upcoming national competition!
