- Anzai-senpai, do you really not care about Japanese basketball? Have you really lost your former glory? Or is the loss to the Dragon Kingdom at the Asian Championships in '75 still your nightmare? As soon as he faced the problem of the Dragon Kingdom, he was confused!

- Don't mention your theory of sending local players out, we want a faster way! As long as you can get results, you can go any way!

- Forget it, you are long gone, your heart is dead, you just have the name of your predecessors, and you are no longer the Anzai Guangyi in my heart...... Go back to your Kanagawa and retire, Japanese basketball will no longer need you!

Anzai Mitsuyi sat on the sofa in the hotel bedroom, holding today's newspaper in his chubby hand, but he couldn't read a word.

Before Nishimura Kamiji and Ozaki Masatoshi left the hotel, the voices of the group running to lobby him still echoed in his head.

That guy was his junior, who was a substitute for the Japanese national team at the World Championships in '75 and was his most fanatical follower, but now he ......

Anzai Guangyi sighed slightly and put the newspaper down.

Naturalized Lin Dong? If Lin Dong himself is willing, then of course he can, but since Lin Dong has refused, then he should not let those messy means interfere with a child.

Japanese Basketball ...... Of course he cares, and it's not hopeless, it's just that these guys who are eager for quick success can't see it.

Anzai Mitsuyoshi thought about it and dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Earl, it's me." Coach Anzai smiled and said, "How is Rukawa-san's performance these days?" ”

"Hahaha, the progress is very fast, this kid is too biased in the past, they are all wild roads, he has not undergone real systematic training, nor has he gone through a really high-level confrontation, and the style of play is not practical, but he is indeed very talented, has a strong comprehension, and his physical condition is excellent enough, which is the best I have seen in Japan over the years! Now give him some real confrontation, and then give him a systematic training method...... Tsk, it's really not me bragging here, one-on-one top-level teaching, and psychological counseling, isn't this 10,000 times stronger than you sending the United States to directly accept the destruction? ”

“…… Don't worry, although Stephen is from a street ball background, I know him too well, his basketball skills are quite solid, his breakthroughs and changes of direction are a must, and the champion members of Rock Park! Definitely the ...... in our school No, it's probably the best trainer in all of Japan! I've also warned him not to teach Liuchuan those street tricks, hahaha, if you pay for it, I'll do it, and I promise not to deviate your baby bump. ”

"By the way, didn't you say there was a better talent? When to come? I'll give you a 10% discount! ”

Coach Anthy said with a smile: "School is about to start, his foundation is not enough, and it is useless to go to you...... Let's wait until the winter holidays. ”

"Okay, okay, then you can give him a good grasp of the foundation first, but the fee for this kind of blank paper will have to be discussed separately......"

As he spoke, he seemed to be distracted by something, and then suddenly scolded from a long distance from the microphone: "Oh, Shet! Stephen, bastard! This is Japan, this is a basketball school! Don't bring your unruly women here! I'm going to be complained, I'm going to shut down, you goddamn teddy! ”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember that he hadn't hung up Anzai Guangyi's phone yet, and hurriedly said into the microphone: "Okay, okay, I still have something to do, hang up first." ”

Doodoo Doodoo......

You can roughly guess what's going on on the other side.

Black ......

Anzai Mitsuyoshi smiled and shook his head.

After thinking about it, he dialed another number.

"Coach Anthy? Sakuragi went to Hiroshima to watch the game, yes, yes, yes, it seems that a classmate from Shoyang High School gave him a ticket, and then followed the classmate's father over...... Ah, that gentleman's phone? I've got it here, I'll find you ......."

Sakuragi-san came to Hiroshima?

Classmates from Xiangyang High School? Classmate's dad?

Anzai Guangyi was slightly stunned, and dialed the number given by the woman on the phone.

"Looking for Sakuragi-san? Okay, wait a minute, Sakuragi-san, Sakuragi-san! ”

"Hello?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice soon came from the phone, and when he heard that it was Coach Anzai, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly laughed: "Dad! Don't worry, the basic training you assigned to me is trivial, all of them have been completed, and I have also practiced with my master! It's a hundred times harder than you set it up! ”

"Hahaha! Dad, you don't know how good I am now, that day I was singled out with my master, and I blocked him by a ball! Really, really, Brother Gao definitely didn't release water! He was super serious at that time, and he played absolutely 120% of the time, and I stopped him! ”

"Oh, Daddy, why don't you believe me? By the way, don't you just stay in Brother Gao's hotel? You hurry up and ask him to go, you must ask! It's really true, it's not easy for people to prevent one from saying! No one has completed the achievements of Nagawa in the whole of Kami, and neither can Rukawa Kaede! I can now say that I am already the highest in Kanagawa...... No, the second master! ”

"Hehehehehe!" Anzai Mitsuyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

This guy ......

Frankly speaking, compared to Rukawa Kaede, whether it is talent or emotion, he prefers Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Sakuragi-san not only has a rare basketball talent, but also has a unique passion that can infect the people around you anytime and anywhere, making you feel that the world is full of positive vitality and hope.

No matter how boring the mood is, as long as you chat with him for a few words, it will disappear.

Anzai Guangyi, who hung up the phone, has completely calmed down in his heart.

Does Ueji Nishimura think the future of Japanese basketball lies in Lin Dong?

No.

The future of Japanese basketball cannot be counted on by a dragon country, nor is it Sanno Industries, where the technology has basically been finalized and the ceiling has been seen.

The future of Japanese basketball is in Xiangbei, and it is by your side!

Mitsuyoshi Anzai smiled, put back on his reading glasses, and picked up the newspaper on the table.

Only this time, the heart is no longer restless.

The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he looked very attentively, peacefully, and seriously.

……………………

With the national tournament in full swing, NHK has changed its normal way of promoting basketball on television, and the topic of the recent summer basketball national tournament has become very popular in Japan.

For NHK, this is just a foreshadowing for the NBA preseason to land in Japan, after all, the money has already been spent, and there must be ratings.

For high schools all over Japan, this unprecedented level of attention has made all the participating teams feel like they are paying attention.

Yesterday's round of 32 has decided this year's top 16 teams, except for Kanagawa, Aichi, and Hiroshima, the three prefectures of two teams each passed, and the other teams that reached the top 16 have only one county and one team left.

And the reports of several key games also quickly grabbed various front pages on the morning of the 4th.

With the biggest point difference of the season of 66 points, and the super gorgeous data of 28 points, 5 steals, 6 assists and 3 blocks in a single quarter, Lin Dong of Xiangyang covered the demeanor of Sanno Industry and all the players who participated that day with his own strength.

- Sanno Industries' biggest opponent is coming!

——Hainan defeated last year's semi-finals in the county competition by 58 points!

——A basketball god with 28 points, 5 steals, 6 assists and 3 blocks in a single quarter!

- The peak of Kanagawa, the lonely king above the clouds!

The reporters of the media finally broke through the blockade that once restricted the 'traffic', and constantly touted the newcomer of Xiangyang with unhesitant praise, and also touted the team that only had the hope of defeating Sanno Industry, and even did not hesitate to pull out Hainan, which was in the top four last year, as a background board.

Of course, since Xiangyang is reported, the topic of Fengyu is naturally indispensable.

was blown out of the eyeballs, playing the missing Nan Lie, who was so angry that he left the game in the middle of the game, but after the game, he led Fengyu's whole team to attend the press conference, and blamed most of the responsibility for the whole incident on his own negligence and so on......

Of course, this inevitably led to another topic, Fengyu only played less than 3 minutes at the beginning, and the two absolute core main forces had already left.

Therefore, although it is the top eight team last year, although the main force of Xiangyang only played the first quarter, but the substitute to the substitute, the 66-point point difference, will it be a little watery?

August 4......

Xiangyang's round of matches is scheduled in the morning, against Changcheng High School, which was in the quarterfinals last year.

Before the game, all parties analyzed that this would be the best touchstone for Xiangyang.

Changcheng High School, who has Miko Chai, can also be regarded as a winning general in the national competition, and his strength and Fengyu should be between him.

Although Fengyu was defeated, there was a relationship between the two main forces who only played for a few minutes and left the game early, so in the face of Chang Cheng, can Xiangyang still have a performance against the sky?

Touchstones, touchstones, touchstones are used to do this.

It's a pity...... Both the course and the result of the game surprised all the media.

125:82, although the score difference of 43 points did not refresh yesterday's score difference record, but the process is different after all.

Xiangyang's five main lineups only played the first half.

Lin Dong only spent half of the time, and in the presence of Chang Cheng's main forces such as Yu Zichai, he scored 43 points, 7 steals, 5 blocks, and 12 assists.

The five main players once stretched the difference to as many as 70 points in the first half.

By the second half, Xiangyang's five main forces were all down, and Chang Cheng High School used the full main lineup to deal with Xiangyang's substitute lineup with a face problem, and finally chased the 70-point difference to 43 points, so as not to lose so ugly.

In the afternoon game of the same day, the five main forces of Sanno Industry played the whole game, with an exaggerated 144:30, a full 114-point gap, won the top 16 of last year's Momokura Industry, locked this huge score difference on the record of the national competition, and finally snatched back the limelight that was overshadowed by Xiangyang yesterday.

114 points...... Although Taocang Industry is not at the level of Fengyu, it is also the top 16 last year, but it was beaten to the point that it doubted life.

- The strongest mountain king in history! Rising stars and redeemers of Japanese basketball!

- The two rising stars handpicked by Stern, Eiji Sawakita and Masashi Kawada.

- Xiangyang's Imperial Destruction Dragon! Super Hexagon Warriors!

- The strongest king in history is about to usher in the strongest challenger in history......

Under the deliberate driving of the media, coupled with NHK's reports from time to time, as well as the early warm-up hype for the live broadcast of the semi-finals.

As a result, public opinion in Japan has begun to look forward to the semi-final between Shoyo and Sanno Industries, although the quarterfinals have just been decided......

"That guy Xiangyang is not Japanese......"

"Dragon Country's basketball is very good, and it's our old enemy of Japan."

"I've only recently started to pay attention to basketball, is Dragon Country basketball so good?"

"Come on, what kind of old enemy, it's not a level at all. From the Dragon Country basketball team entering the Asian Championships in 75 years to the present, a total of 13 Asian Championships, they have won two 5 consecutive championships...... Last year, they were their champions again, and we never lost in the Asian Games or anything, and our Japanese national players were all retired by them......"

"Nani! Is the gap so big? ”

"The King of the Mountains isn't really going to lose, is he? The national team can't beat it, and a high school student can't beat it, is that like a word? ”

"Sanno Industry must come on!"

Similar reports elicit similar reactions.

does not discredit Lin Dong, it is still a big praise, but it unconsciously creates a fairly clear boundary for the Japanese people: the king of the mountain represents our Japan! Prepare to take on the most powerful and almost invincible opponent of all time!

The storm is brewing, and everyone is looking forward to it.
