A light rain began to fall in the sky, and it fell on the ground. The heat of summer was dispelled by this little bit of coolness.
But on such a rainy day, the road in front of the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium was full of people, making it a lively scene. These people are basically the spectators who come to the arena to watch the game. Today's game can be said to have attracted much attention.
In the morning, there was a match between two teams, Shohoku High School and Hainan High School. One team, Shohoku, defeated the old strong team Xiangyang High School with a big score in the 8-4 match. The other team is Hainan High School, which has dominated Kanagawa Prefecture for more than ten years. Although Hainan's undefeated myth was ended by Lingnan High School a few days ago.
But no one doubted the strength of Hainan High School.
Shohoku, a team that had little success in prefectural competitions in previous years, is now one of the most watched teams in Kanagawa Prefecture. Before the match between Lingnan High School and Hainan High School, Shohoku High School was regarded as the team most likely to defeat Hainan.
"Today is the match between Xiangbei and Hainan. I don't know who can win!"
"No matter who wins, Lingnan High School, which defeated Hainan, has already occupied a spot."
"Haha, yes! Wuyuan's strength is too different, there is no way he can be Lingnan's opponent."
"If there is really a winner in this morning's game, it should be Hainan High School."
"Huh? Why? Xiangbei isn't weak either."
"If I had to say why, it would be that there are no players like one-on-three in Shobei. There are players like Shinomiya Nojo in Lingnan who played very hard in the first half. If Hainan had not given up in the second half, the outcome would not have been certain. .”
"Eh~ Really? I feel that Shohoku is also very powerful, Mitsui Hisashi, and the No. 15 rookie Jinguji Budo. So far in the competition, Shohoku has won easily."
At the entrance of the arena, there were spectators walking towards the stadium, talking to each other. Everyone is predicting the result of the game between Xiangbei and Hainan. Some people support Hainan High School and some support Xiangbei. The number of supporters of the two teams is quite different.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the door of the arena.
"The bet has been placed, the bet has been placed! Whether you support Xiangbei or Hainan, talking with your mouth does not count!"
"Little gambling pleasure~ Come and place your bets, everyone!"
Next to the gate of the gymnasium, Gao Gongwang stood in front of a small table, waving a small red flag in his hand and shouting, trying to attract the attention of passers-by. Beside him, Yanghei, Da Kusu and others were standing or squatting, leaning against the edge of the door and looking at Takamiya with funny faces.
It has been almost half an hour since they came to the arena. Takamiya Wang has been shouting, and no one has gone to his place to place a bet. Audiences in the past went to see Gao Gongwang as if they were crazy. Obviously, Gao Gongwang's plan to make a fortune has been declared bankrupt.
"Hey, Takamiya, close the stall, no one will come to place bets." Mito Yohei squatted in the corner, suppressing his smile, and shouted towards Takamiya.
"Yes, yes, close the stall, close the stall. How can anyone come to place bets on a pheasant table like yours?"
"No one will believe you. Who knows if you will take the money and run away! Hahaha!"
Ohkusu Yuuji followed Mito Yohei's words and mocked loudly.
"What do you bastards know?"
"With such a large audience, there are always some who are willing to gamble! My pocket money for next month depends on today!"
Gao Gongwang heard his friends making fun of him, turned his head and refuted loudly.
"Hahaha, you're dreaming!" Danan sneered. His sarcasm made Takamiya's face blush slightly, and he felt a little ashamed even though he was thick-skinned.
At this moment, a voice that Takamiya wanted to hear in his dreams came to his mind.
"Hey, boss, I want to bet 10,000 on Hainan!"
Gao Gongwang turned his head when he heard the voice. At this time, standing in front of his desk, was a young man. His height was estimated to be over 180cm. His hair was parted in the middle. He looked to be about twenty years old.
"Hey hey hey, hello, you want to place a bet, right?"
"The odds between Xiangbei and Hainan are..."
Gao Gongwang said, pointing to the odds on the table. Just as he was about to explain, the young man stopped him with his hand.
"It goes without saying, I know."
As the young man spoke, he took out the banknotes from his wallet and placed them on Gao Gongwang's desk.
"Hey, Zhuxing, let's go." While the young man was communicating with Takamiya, a middle-aged man in a suit from a distance urged the young man. Hearing someone urging him, the young man slapped the table and said to Gao Gongwang: "After the game, I'll come here to get the money!"
It can be heard that the youth team Hainan High School is full of confidence in winning.
After the young man left, everyone gathered around, looking down at the money on the table in a daze.
"Where did this idiot come from?! He actually made a bet?" Yangping looked at the money on the table and murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Hahahaha! Let me just say, with so many people, there must be someone with a gambling bent!"
"Let's go! I'll buy you a drink!"
Gao Gongwang happily put away the table stall. Judging from his appearance, he was already very satisfied with the order. Okusuji and Noma both cheered happily when they heard Takamiya's invitation for drinks. Only Mito Yohei looked worried, as if he was a little worried.
"Hey, Takamiya, do you want to spend it? If you lose then, do you have the money to compensate?"
Mito knew it was impossible to stop Takamiya Wang, so he scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Huh? Don't worry, Yangping, he has no chance to get the money back."
"Because of Hainan, it is impossible to win Xiangbei!"
Gao Gongwang waved his hands repeatedly, looking unconcerned. It's not that Takamiya really has much confidence in Shohoku. He just simply doesn't want to give the money back, so he is full of confidence in Shohoku.
This is just like some people buying stocks. He thinks a certain stock will rise, just because he bought it and doesn't want to lose money.
Seeing Takamiya's happy look, Yohei didn't try to dissuade him any more. It was only ten thousand, so at worst he would step in and wipe his ass. After thinking about it, the group happily walked into the arena.
Shortly after Mito Yohei and others left, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko also appeared at the entrance of the arena. After Sakuragi looked around and could not see Mito Yohei and others, his face was filled with anger, and then he joined Haruko. Went into the arena.
...
"It's almost time, Mitsui-senpai, let's enter."
In the lounge in Xiangbei, Miyagi Ryota looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and then said to everyone. As a participating team in today's game, Xiangbei had already arrived in the locker room waiting to enter.
"Coach Anxi hasn't come back yet, let's wait."
As soon as Mitsui Hisashi finished speaking, the door to the lounge was opened. Coach Anzai and Ayako pushed the door in and looked at the players in the room.
"Hoo ho ho, very energetic."
"Let's go, I've been notified, let's enter."
Coach Anxi's eyes swept over the players one by one, and then he showed a satisfied smile and said to everyone. Facing a strong school like Hainan, the players in Xiangbei had not completely adjusted their condition in the past few days, but as of today, there is no such problem.
The group of people walked along the players' tunnel toward the arena. The slightly dim passage was not long, and the light at the end of the passage became closer and closer with the footsteps of a few people.
Vaguely, the players could still hear the noise in the stadium.
After walking out of the light and arriving at the entrance of the passage, the noisy voices in the stands suddenly turned into uniform cheers, causing everyone in Xiangbei who had just walked out of the passage to pause in their steps.
"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"
"Jinguji! Jinguji! Jinguji"
Uniform cheers surged towards the crowd like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Seeing the dense crowd of people cheering for Xiangbei in the stands, for a moment, these young players felt their blood surge and they wanted to play right away.
Coach Anxi was also a little surprised. He had not heard such cheers for many years since he left the university campus. In the past, the Xiangbei High School he was in charge of did not have such popularity. Seeing this similar scene again, Coach Anxi couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
"so good!"
"Such cheers will be the norm for us in Shohoku in the next few years." Coach Anzai pushed up his glasses, thinking silently in his heart, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Jinguji Martial Arts at the back of the team.
At this time, Wu Dao was also immersed in such cheers and was a little intoxicated.
He had seen such scenes when he was in junior high school, but the cheers were for Mitsui Hisashi, not him. Although he also played basketball on campus before he came to this world, campus basketball in that era and place did not have such an atmosphere.
After that, he gave up his dream and became a referee. Although he had seen such scenes, what the audience gave him was not cheers. Sometimes there are more boos than cheers~
Strictly speaking, it is the first time for a player to stand on the court and receive cheers from so many spectators.
"I'm somewhat famous in the county." Wu Dao murmured, with a smile unconsciously showing on his face.
"Of course, who doesn't know now that you are the ace of our Xiangbei High School!"
Miyagi Ryota, who was standing in front of Martial Arts, said with some amusement. The audience shouted for Shohoku and Jinguji Martial Arts, but they did not take him with them. Although Miyagi is also proud that Shohoku can get so many supporters, he is still a little unhappy because he personally has no fans.
"Haha, when we become national champions, everyone's names will be known."
Budao understood Miyagi's state of mind and expressed relief.
"Hehe, that's right!" Miyagi Ryota is not the kind of person who is obsessed with things. He will not be depressed because of such things. After listening to Budo's words, his mentality immediately adjusted.
Everyone in Xiangbei stopped for a while, and then entered the rest area under the leadership of coach Anxi. Without explaining anything to the players, Mitsui Hisashi led the players in to warm up.
On the other side of the court, everyone from Hainan came much earlier than Xiangbei. When Xiangbei came in to warm up, Hainan's players seemed to have been warming up for a while.
The atmosphere on Hainan's side was a bit solemn, and it could be seen that Hainan attached great importance to this game. The players warming up on the court didn't seem to see the Xiangbei players entering the stadium, and they still maintained their own rhythm and warmed up.
"These people in Hainan..." Mu Mu Gongyan noticed that the atmosphere on the Hainan court was a bit solemn, and the other party's serious and dedicated look made him feel uneasy.
"It really looks like it's a last-ditch fight."
"These people in Hainan have very... attitudes."
Mitsui Shou walked to Mumu Gongyan and said softly. He also noticed the state of those people in Hainan, and his expression became serious.
In the stands, everyone in Lingnan sat down in their own viewing area. They also noticed that Hainan seemed to be a little different. First-year cross-country Hongming pointed at the Hainan people who were warming up and said to his teammates: "It seems like today Hainan is going to fight tooth and nail!"
"This is really a good thing for us. Xiangbei and Hainan are fighting to the death. When they encounter us, they may not be able to recover."
"It's best for Hainan to defeat Xiangbei today. If so, Xiangbei may not even have the confidence to compete with us!"
Although he is a first-year cross-country player and a substitute, Coach Tianoka pays close attention to him during team training. If nothing else happens, after this summer, after the third-year players retire from the team, he, a first-year player, will be promoted. Starting position. Therefore, his status in the team is not low, and his words attracted the support of many first-year students.
"Hainan can't defeat Xiangbei." Shinomiya Tano shook his head and said softly. As soon as he spoke, almost all the Lingnan players looked at him. Although Shinomiya Tano and Cross Country Hiroaki were both in the first grade, their team status was completely different.
Even if he is a third grader, he will listen attentively when Shinomiya Tōno speaks.
"Huh? Why?" Cross Country was a little surprised. He felt that Hainan was very strong. Although Xiangbei was strong, Xiangbei might not necessarily be able to beat Hainan.
"Because I haven't defeated Xiangbei before, Hainan is even more impossible!" Shinomiya Tano said.
The surrounding Lingnan team members were all stunned when they heard this "explanation". Coach Taoka was also a little surprised, but then he laughed. Although Shinomiya's words were a bit of a sedan move for Shohoku, the absolute confidence revealed in his words was something that Coach Taoka liked very much.
As a player, strength is of course the first priority. After you have strength, you have to be a little crazier. In competitive sports, humility cannot inspire the emotions of teammates.
"Hahahahaha! Tian Ye, that was you before, and you are absolutely invincible now!"
Coach Tagoka smiled as he patted Shinomiya on the back. Afterwards, Coach Taoka began to analyze the playing characteristics of the two teams, and roughly predicted the possible playing styles and possible lineup arrangements of the two teams. He hopes that through his explanation, the players will learn how to judge the strength of the two teams before the game.
While everyone in Lingnan was talking and chatting, the warm-up time on the field was almost over.
Mitsui Hisashi gathered the players and led them back to the rest area. On the other side of the court, Hainan's Dazheng Sifu also led the players back to the rest area. When Coach Gao Tou saw the players coming back, he immediately stood up and began to give the players Make arrangements.
The rest areas of the two teams are some distance apart, so they can't hear each other's arrangements.
Coach Anxi didn't care at all about Hainan's arrangements and named the starting players.
"Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi, Mumu Gongen, Miyagi Ryota, and Budo."
"You five are the starters. Chiba, you should have a good rest first. I need you to play at critical times. You must be ready to play at any time!"
Coach Anzai made the player arrangement, which was a little different from usual. Chiba Oishi was actually demoted to the bench, and his replacement was Kimitsu Kimibu.
Chiba Oishi had no objection to Coach Anzai's arrangements. He knew that Coach Anzai had his own arrangements.
After Coach Anxi confirmed the list of starting players, he did not arrange any tactics. He encouraged the players with a few words and it was done. Compared with him, in the rest area on the other side, the tall coach who was drawing crazily on a tactical board looked so serious.
"Beep!"
After the whistle blew, the players from both teams finally walked onto the court.
Takenori Akagi and Hainan's Daiki Maekawa stood on the midline, preparing to jump the ball. Martial arts was in position, and standing in front of him was Hainan's No. 4, Dazheng Sifu. As soon as Mu Shen went to mark Mitsui Hisashi, the rest of the team members stood in front of their respective opponents.
"What a tall guy." Dazheng Sifu stood in front of Jinguji Martial Arts, slightly raising his head and looking at Jinguji Martial Arts, feeling a little surprised. The first-year Jinguji Budo is already 195cm tall, which is the standard height for a center in this country's high school basketball world.
"Beep!" There was no time for Dazheng Sifu's family to sigh. As the referee's sharp whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown high into the air. A loud shout erupted from the center line, and the next second, a red light flew towards this side quickly.
Before Omasa Shifu could make any move, Jinguji Budo appeared directly in front of him and quickly grabbed the basketball. After receiving the basketball, Jinguji Budo directly dribbled the ball down without any intention of waiting for his teammates.
"This guy is so tall and so fast?!" When Dazheng Sifu was chasing him, he suddenly found that he couldn't catch up with Jinguji Martial Arts at the first time. He was surprised and at the same time accelerated his pace.
But even if he quickened his pace, Jinguji Budo still took the lead and quickly approached the three-point line.
And at the same time that Jinguji Martial Arts approached the three-point line, the other Hainan players' defense arrived.
Just when Dasheng Shifu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw Jinguji Budo actually joining the ball in that position, and his knees were slightly bent, and he actually wanted to shoot.
"This... my teammates haven't even gone over yet, and this guy is going to shoot a three-pointer?!"
Da Zheng Sifu was greatly surprised. The next second, he saw the basketball fly out of Jinguji Budo's hands. The No. 15 from Xiangbei jumped very high, and the man who was defending was Akun, who couldn't reach it at all!
The basketball flew towards the basket under the surprised eyes of everyone. Not only the people in Hainan were surprised, not only the audience was surprised, but even the players in Xiangbei were surprised to see Jinguji Budo's shot choice.
