The first game of Xiangbei High School's national competition can be regarded as no thrill and no danger. Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi and others led the team to play unexpectedly well, even if it was Toyotama High School, which was rated as an A-level team, they were easily defeated by them.

And the strong candidate strength of Xiangbei has also made Shanwang Industry and others interested. On the night of the first day of the game, Goro Domoto, who returned to the hotel, began to review and study the playing style of these first-year players in Xiangbei.

The senior players in Xiangbei have played a lot of games, and the video book of the game that can be used for reference is also very comprehensive, and he has made full preparations before the national competition.

However, the sudden rise of the first-year students in Xiangbei was beyond the expectations of Goro Domoto, and he vaguely felt that these first-year students would be the biggest variable that their mountain king would face, so he wanted to clear this variable as soon as possible.

At night, the moon hangs high. In the common room of Sanno Industries, the team members gathered behind Goro Domoto and watched the TV.

At this time, what was playing on the TV was the match between Xiangbei High School and Fengyu High School in the morning.

"That red-haired player, it's called Hanamichi Sakuragi."

"In the first year of Xiangbei High School, I found out that this kid has only been playing for a little more than a year."

"At 192cm tall and with a very good jump, Toyoyu has 60% credit for losing the game so easily."

"Tell me, what do you think?" Goro Domoto pressed the remote control, and the camera was frozen at the moment when Hanamichi Sakuragi jumped up to grab the rebound.

Pointing to the Sakuragi Hanamichi in the picture, Goro Domoto turned his head and asked.

"Nobe, you are also in the power forward position, you talk about it first." For a long time, the members of the Mountain King team all looked at the picture and didn't speak for a long time, and Goro Domoto directly ordered Nobe Shohiro and asked him to say his opinion.

These players of Sanno Industries, each position is the top player in the country, and the wild side of the big forward position will be widely placed in any other team, and it will also be the cornerstone of the team, and the existence of an absolute ace!

"He's got a great bounce and I think the best thing to do is to pull him out of the line."

"I've got mid-range and I think I can get him out of the line." Nobe replied in a deep voice, he also recognized Sakuragi Hanamichi's ability.

In the morning, when he was competing in Xiangbei, he found Sakuragi's amazing bounce and foot strength, so he also formulated some countermeasures in his heart.

"Hmm... Does anyone else have anything to add? Goro Domoto nodded noncommittally and continued to ask.

"I think you can use the way of stuck to prevent this kid from jumping."

"Nobe's approach is good, of course, but it can only be on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, how do you pull the opponent out?"

"My advice is to create physical duels and grab rebounds with position and height and reach."

"Not to mention 100% control of rebounding, at least, it can infinitely weaken the opponent's advantage."

"This kid's card position skills are average, Fengyu's rookie power forward often has an advantage, if you are on the wild side, it's no problem!" Toyotama High School's Minori Kishimoto has become a rookie in the mouth of Masashi Kawada, but if this is said by someone else, it is still a little controversial, but when Masashi Kawada says it, everyone will not be surprised.

Masashi Kawada of Sanno Industries, who can be called the strongest center today, can be called the strongest center today, and with Masashi Kawada's ability, even if he directly enters college basketball, he can still mix and become a player that all colleges and universities are vying for.

"Hear it, Nobian, both offensive and defensive ends, just play like this, mainly limiting his rebounding ability."

"As for his offense, proper vigilance is enough, and the offensive focus of Xiangbei will not be on the first grade." While speaking, Goro Domoto switched the picture, and the picture of the TV was fixed on Rukawa Kaede, who was shooting, and Domoto's eyes were also on Minoru Matsumoto and Eiji Zebei.

"What about him?" Hearing Coach Domoto's inquiry, Eiji Sawakita looked at Rukawa Kaede and shook his head, and said, "It's outstanding, there is a shadow of me in the first grade." ”

"But I don't think there's anything to be wary of."

"His scorer, if Xiangbei is against our mountain king, Jinguji Martial Arts and Mitsui Shou will definitely play, these two are the points we should pay attention to."

"If those two people didn't threaten him, Matsumoto and I would have been able to defend against him."

"His mid-range shooting is very good, and his offensive skills are also well-rounded, but his body is relatively thin, and he can play against it." Zebei Eiji's face was a little unsightly when he said this, and when he said that he was physically confrontational, he seemed to remember some bad memories in his mind, and he had a bitter look on his face.

"Is it a physical confrontation.... You're right. ”

"After all, when you were in first grade, you suffered a lot in this regard. Last year, when I was IH, I was educated by Shinomiya Field, and when I arrived at the Autumn Country, both Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Field, both took turns to grasp your weaknesses and attack. ”

"Although your confrontation has come up this year, if you meet Jinguji martial arts during the game, you still have to have other team members to support you."

"We all went to watch the finals of the Kanagawa Prefecture Competition, and although Jinguji Martial Arts has not been on the field for a long time, I can see that his strength is more than one step stronger than last year." Hearing this, Goro Domoto nodded, and the topic also moved from Rukawa Kaede to Jinguji Martial Arts.

He recognized Zebei's words, if Xiangbei met their mountain king, the main attack would definitely be the ace Jinguji Martial Arts.

After a brief analysis, Domoto pressed the remote control in his hand, and the screen jumped to Nango, Kami Ichiro, Kiyota Nobunaga and others in turn.

As the picture jumped, the members of the Mountain King also said the corresponding coping methods, compared to the seriousness when they treated Sakuragi and Rukawa, they said that the rest of the team members in the first grade of Xiangbei were relaxed.

It can be seen that in the first grade of Xiangbei, the only ones who can really make them interested are Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.

After reviewing the first-grade competition in Xiangbei, Goro Domoto did not waste time, and emphasized the key points to be paid attention to when playing against Xiangbei to the players.

Goro Domoto attaches great importance to the competition the day after tomorrow, he knows very well that Xiangbei High School, which has a lower rating than their mountain king, is a sleeping Menghu, and when their Sanwang Industrial stands in front of Xiangbei, this Menghu will definitely wake up.

... At night, the moon hangs high. Under the same night sky, the players of Xiangbei are also gathering in the common room at this time, reviewing the game of Sanno Industries, and the video of the game is the final of Akita Prefecture.

However, this video does not have much reference value, because the difference in strength between the mountain king and their opponents is too great, and the difference between the two teams once reached 40 points.

However, this kind of crushing game can also see some things, and judging from the video of the Mountain King last year, you can also get a lot of useful information.

"Sanno Industry lost to Lingnan last year."

"I've already analysed the characteristics of their team before, and if Eiji Sawakita gets rid of his bad habit of playing, Sanno will be one of the strongest challengers we will face."

"To be honest, our internal strength is not as good as the other party."

"Martial arts, Mitsui, if you don't feel good in the game the day after tomorrow, you should reduce the projection on the outside and use more breakthroughs to pull their defense." Coach Anthy looked at the video on the TV and emphasized again.

However, as soon as his words fell, Sakuragi Hanamichi flashed directly to Coach Anzai's side, hugging Coach Anzai's shoulders and dragging Coach Anzai's chin with his palm.

"Now, Daddy, how can you say that?"

"How can the strength of our inside line not be as good as the King of the Mountain? With the existence of me, the genius rebounding king, we have a big advantage on the inside! "Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is tall and tall, the name of Coach Anzai is the name that kindergarten children are used to.

"Hey, bastard, don't be rude to Mr. Anzai!" Seeing this, Mitsui Shou's head suddenly jumped, and he quickly came behind Sakuragi, hugged Sakuragi Hanamichi from behind, and dragged him away from Coach Anzai's side.

"Ho ho ho Coach Anzai didn't care about Sakuragi's actions at all, and said with a smile: "Oh! In that case, the basket of Xiangbei will be entrusted to you then, Sakuragi. Coach Anzai's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi's confidence skyrocket, and he stood up, directly got rid of Mitsui Shou's clamps, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Dad, I will never lose!" ”

"I'm the king of rebounds, Hanamichi Sakuragi!" Sakuragi's sworn appearance made Martial Arts feel a big headache when he looked at it, this single cell, was pinched to death by Coach Anzai.

It's not that it's bad, but Sakuragi is so easy to guess, and if the mountain king knows Sakuragi, it's really good to target.

Inspired by Sakuragi, Coach Anzai's eyes still looked at Jinguji Martial Arts, pushed his glasses, and continued: "Martial arts, in this game, your task is still the most important. ”

"Destroy the Mountain King's offensive weapon, this, that's what you're going to do!" While Coach Anzai was talking, the camera on the TV happened to be on the screen of Eiji Zebei scoring a slam dunk.

This ace of Sanno Industries, although he has been trained by the martial arts army, there is no doubt that he is a super ace in the first echelon under the martial arts of Jinguji Temple.

Personal strength, mother is in doubt.

"Okay, I'm actually hoping to meet some interesting opponents."

"Zebei is actually very good." ... As the night wore on, the lights in the Xiangbei common room went out. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the competition on the second day of the national competition was in full swing.

In the knockout stage, the first round of the competition is divided into two days, and there are many teams participating in the competition, but there are not many venues for the competition.

In consideration of allowing more spectators to watch more games, the conference has only one venue.

The same stadium, starting from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., does not stop for a moment. Normally, the teams in the first round of the national competition will not be very strong, the seeded teams are basically byes, and some A-level teams match opponents who are generally C-level and B-level, and there are not many cases where two A-level teams collide.

I have to say that the rating of the magazine still has a certain reference value, and the first round of two-day games was played, and the weak defeated the strong, and there were few successful teams in the following grams.

After watching the day's games, Takeshi didn't think which teams were worth noting, so in the afternoon, he left the stadium without interest.

Coach Anzai didn't say anything about Martial Arts' behavior, he knew that Jinguji Martial Arts' vision was no longer looking down on this kind of low-level fighting.

Back at the hotel, Jinguji Martial Arts was not idle, and did some training in the hotel's gym so that the body was not stiff.

A person like him who exercises all year round, as long as he doesn't exercise for a day, he will feel that something is wrong all over his body, just like a person who stays at home all the year round, and if he suddenly goes to the playground to run a few laps, he will also be all over

"Something is wrong".

"This year's biggest opponent is probably Lingnan."

"Most of the contestants in the national competition are not a threat to me."

"After IH, you still have to focus on training, and it doesn't matter if you play a low-intensity game or not." In the United States, martial arts are played 365 days a year, possibly 300 days a year, and even in-team practice matches are more intense than most competitions in national competitions.

But after all, the competition is a test of the results of training

"Exam", if you want to increase your strength, training is the most important. At this stage of martial arts, the accumulation of competition experience is very important, but the most important thing is the development of physical talent.

In the evening, the Xiangbei players who watched the game also returned to the hotel one after another, and a group of people saw martial arts training in the gym, and they also joined one after another, in order to let themselves cope with tomorrow's game in the best condition.

Following. [Now please, Group A, Xiangbei High School. Players of Sanno Industries enter! As soon as the host's words fell, the Hiroshima Central Arena erupted in amazing cheers.

"Wow-" Amid the cheers of the audience, the players' tunnels at both ends of the basketball court were opened. Day 3 of the National Championship Competition.

In the second round of the knockout round, in the first game of Group A, Xiangbei High School, which crushed Fengyu High School, and played against Shanwang Industry, which had a bye in the first round.

This game attracted much attention, with a sea of people in the stands, and a circle outside the stadium was full of reporters and media people who came to watch the game.

And with the opening of the players' tunnel, the cheers of the audience were even more enthusiastic.

"Xiangbei! Xiangbei! Xiangbei! "Xiangbei High School has long accumulated a lot of popularity, as the Xiangbei players entered the stadium through the players' tunnel, the audience shouted the name of Xiangbei in unison under the leadership of De Nan and others.

Bright red

The "Man of Fire" flag fluttered in the stands, even attracting the attention of a kind of media, and the flash lights flashed, filming this scene.

When the Xiangbei players entered the stadium, the reporters' camera lenses focused on the people in Xiangbei, and the reporters introduced the Xiangbei players one by one in front of the camera.

"It's coming, Xiangbei."

"We're going to definitely win, and then, go challenge Lingnan High School on the throne!" Not long after the players entered the stadium in Xiangbei, the players of Sanno Industry also entered the stadium through the players' tunnel.

Zebei Rongzhi in the team glanced at the people in Xiangbei from afar, and his eyes were full of war. Rest area to change clothes and warm up.

Thirty minutes after the players of both teams entered, the starting 10 men stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.

This time, Xiangbei no longer hides its strength, the starting five are center Akagi, big forward Sakuragi Hanamichi, small forward Jinguji Takemichi, and Mitsui Shou, and the role of point guard is Rukawa Kaede!

On the other hand, the players on the court are center Masashi Kawada, big forward Shohiro Nobe, small forward Eiji Sawakita, subdivision Minoru Matsumoto, and point guard Kazunari Fukatsu.

When the Xiangbei group came on the court, Goro Domoto was stunned, he didn't expect that Rukawa Kaede actually fell into the backcourt, like a point guard role.

"Xiangbei.... Here's what's to do?! ”

"Kaede Rukawa is very good, but he never seems to have played point guard, right? And... This guy played a practice game with us before and came as a lone wolf, and he can also play point guard? In the stands, Aida Hiko, who saw Xiangbei in place, exclaimed in confusion.

"Hehe... Inferior imitation. ”

"I'm afraid that Xiangbei thinks that Miyagi and Kiyota are not enough to deal with Fukatsu Iksei, but..."

"Rukawa Kaede is not an immortal Dao, he is very talented, but there is still a gap between him and the immortal Dao!" Coach Taoka commented with a smile that he didn't see this played by Xiangbei

"Gimmicks". ................
