Shohoku High School, rated B, defeated Toyotama High School, rated A, which was a complete upset in the eyes of the Everbright audience. Jinguji Budo scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals in the entire game.
However, he is not the highest scoring player at Shohoku High School. Mitsui Hisashi scored 36 points. Although he only had two rebounds, he had 4 assists and 2 steals.
Jinguji Budo and Hisashi Mitsui scored most of Shohoku High School's points, and center Takenori Akagi also performed very well in this game, scoring 24 points and 14 rebounds.
The personal performance and statistics of the Big Three in northern Hunan are quite good, but the audience who watched the game did not feel much about it. The statistics of the three of them are all good, but the audience does not think that these players from Xiangbei are very good. They also don't know what the level of Nan Lie, who was banned by martial arts and only scored 12 points, is.
A score of more than 30 and a score of more than 20 are only good in their eyes.
Although Jinguji Budo performed breakthrough dunks on the court and attracted some admiration, he only performed a few goals in total. Most of the scores were simple pull-up jumpers and pull-ups. Mitsui Hisashi's side mostly used jump shots after pick-and-rolls, and there were no too gorgeous goals.
On the contrary, Takenori Akagi, who completely crushed his opponent, attracted some people's attention.
"Shohoku High School actually defeated Toyotama High School, which is rated A-level, so easily, thanks to the contribution of that center."
"My name is Takenori Akagi, right? He's a pretty good player."
"Coach, what do you think of Akagi? Is he suitable for our Fukasawa Sports University?"
In a corner of the auditorium, Shota Sugiyama of Neon Fukasawa Sports University pointed at Takenori Akagi who was packing his things in the lounge area and preparing to return to the lounge, and asked the middle-aged man next to him.
"Akagi Takenori..."
"He is a good player. With him guarding the basket in Xiangbei, he has the strength to compete in the top eight in the country."
"But my interest in Akagi is not that strong. Do you have any information about No. 4 in Xiangbei?"
Fukasawa's coach clasped his hands on his chest, raised his chin slightly, and suddenly asked.
"No. 4? That captain from Shohoku, Hisashi Mitsui? I just say he is a pretty good shooter. He relies on his teammates to make pick-and-roll shots."
"Although the data performance is pretty good, in terms of personal ability, it is not much different from that No. 15. I heard that the No. 15 Jinguji Martial Arts is only a first-year student."
"Besides, your physical fitness should be better with Jinguji Martial Arts. Instead of looking for that Mitsui Hisashi, it's better to find Jinguji Martial Arts."
"We in Fukasawa do not lack outstanding backline talents. What we lack are forwards, especially centers who can replace me in the future. Do we need to find those two high school students?"
Sugiyama Shota looked puzzled and asked doubtfully.
"Haha, Sugiyama, you don't understand this."
"Our school also needs to configure a talent echelon. The students we are looking at now are all sophomores or freshmen in high school, and they can all succeed your players in the future."
"Contacting in advance can leave enough good impressions in their hearts, and at the same time, it can urge them to continue working hard."
"Hisashi Mitsui is a very good player. As for his ability to shoot, that's just what you saw in this game."
"As for the first-year Jinguji Martial Arts, if everything goes well, that boy's future will not be here!"
"I have watched the previous games in Xiangbei. The abilities of those two children are far beyond what you have seen."
"It won't take long, you should be able to see it!"
The coach of Fukasawa Sports University pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said to Shota Sugiyama with a smile.
In the stadium, the two teams of Xiangbei High School and Toyotama High School had packed up and left the stadium. The victorious Shohoku team members appeared in the stands not long after, but the defeated Fengyu did not appear in the stands again. They were probably on their way home at this moment.
The national competition began to advance in an orderly manner. There were several strong teams competing today, but overall the competition was not intense. In the morning, Sanno Industries finally showed their terrifying strength in this national competition. With the help of Eiji Sawabita and others outstanding performance.
Sanno Industries finally defeated Shirakatsu High School from Fukushima with 97:42, and then teams like Aiwa and Reinan also won the game easily. There is no suspense in every game here, and the score difference between the two sides is very large.
However, it is worth mentioning that Eiji Zebita, who is also rated AA, contributed 54 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals in a single game. He comes from Aihe Academy, rated AA, and is known as He scored 47 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals in a single game for Aichi Stars' Morohoshi.
Shinomiya Tanano, who came from Kanagawa Prefecture with Budo and is one of the two stars of Kanagawa, scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals in this game.
Coincidentally, Shinomiya's field statistics are exactly the same as those of Jinguji Martial Arts.
Is it a coincidence?
After watching the whole game, Budo would not think so. He could see that this guy Shinomiya Tano was deliberately controlling the data!
Not surprisingly, after today's game, Eiji Sawabita's outstanding performance instantly became everyone's focus. Scoring 50+ points in a single game is still on the national stage. Such a strong player has not appeared for a long time. After Eiji Sawabita, the one who attracted the most attention is Morohoshi from Aiwa Prefecture. .
47 points in a single game, this kind of scoring data is only lower than Eiji Zebei.
It is also rated AA, and everyone feels that Eiji Sawabita and Dai Morohoshi are worthy of this rating. As for the so-called Kanagawa Twin Stars, they have become an existence that others scorn. It's not that people think these two are poor in strength. In the audience's senses, the abilities of Budo and Shinomiya are not bad, but they are not worthy of the AA rating.
Today's game is connected to the games of the past few days. Not only are there many players who average 30+ per game, but there are also a lot of them. Most people only rate them as A-level, and even B-level players can perform at this level.
Everyone watching the game felt that the so-called Kanagawa Twin Stars were overrated!
As the national competition enters its fourth match day, the second round of knockout rounds is coming to an end. There are more and more teams qualifying, and more and more outstanding players.
Inevitably, there has been more discussion about Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tōno.
"In today's game, Hakata Shang's ace scored 51 points in a single game, almost breaking the current record of Eiji Sawabita."
"Such a player is actually only rated as an A-level player. In my opinion, his ability is much better than the so-called Kanagawa Double Star."
"The magazine's rating work is not good! Two B-level players were mixed into the AA-level evaluation."
In the stadium, the match between Toying High School and Kazami High School is going on. Less than a minute into the second half, Toying's ace player has already scored 21 points individually. As long as he performs stably, he will score more in this game. It's not impossible to reach 40 points.
"Yes, this Dongying player has already scored 21 points. It is easy for him to score more than 30 points in the whole game, but for a player like this, his rating is only B."
"Those two from Kanagawa are more famous than powerful."
In the stands, two spectators were talking loudly while watching the game on the field. Their words also attracted the attention of some surrounding spectators and started a discussion.
In front of these people, a group of players from Lingnan High School were sitting on their seats, watching the game quietly. The comments of the people around him were heard by the Lingnan team members as a matter of course.
Jun Uozumi had a hot temper, and when he heard the chatter around him, his anger gradually rose.
"Those fat guys who don't understand football actually said that Tianye is not worthy of the AA rating. Those guys know nothing about basketball?!"
"It's true, Tian Ye, you played too reservedly in yesterday's game. With your ability and that level of confrontation, can't you score as many points as you want?"
"If you gave your best, why would those bastards be chattering there?!"
Uozumi said angrily to Shinomiya Tano next to him. Uozumi is a person with a strong sense of collective honor. Shinomiya Tano was looked down upon, which even made him feel a little embarrassed. Now he really wants to rush over and have a good fight with those people. However, reason still controlled him.
"Haha, Yuzhu, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
"Let them say whatever they want. We can't let our Lingnan strength decline if they just say a few words, right?"
"At the end of the day, sports competitions are all about performance. I'm not as good as Eiji Sawabita from Sanno, and I'm not as big as Morohoshi from Aiwa. Isn't it normal?"
Although Shinomiyano said this, his face was full of smiles and he didn't care at all about the comments of the people around him.
"Besides, isn't martial arts guy not in a hurry either?"
As Shinomiya Tōno spoke, he looked towards the boy sitting in front of him.
"Hey, hey, hey, I heard it. Talking about me behind my back is not what a serious person should do!"
Jinguji Budo suddenly turned around and looked at Shinomiya Tanoh and Uozumi Jun. Neither Lingnan nor Shohoku are competing today. Since they are both from Kanagawa, the two teams sit in the front and back rows. Xiangbei sat in the first two rows, while Lingnan sat in the three or four rows behind Xiangbei.
Not only the people in Lingnan can hear the comments of the surrounding audience, but also the people in Xiangbei. Although Mitsui Shou and others felt equally uncomfortable when they heard those words, the city was deeper than Uozumi, so they did not show it and held the breath in their throats.
"Haha~" Shinomiya Tōno laughed and looked sideways at Uozumi. The latter scratched his face anxiously and said impatiently: "Although our two teams are rivals, on the national stage, we are both Kanagawa's teams."
"Not to mention this guy Tian Tian, Jinguji Martial Arts, why didn't you give your best in yesterday's game?"
"Now that you two are being looked down upon, it will not only embarrass us Lingnan and you Shohoku, Kanagawa will also be embarrassed!"
Uozumi Jun said earnestly. He was really anxious, and he was indeed afraid that Kanagawa's reputation would be damaged. This young man was burdened with unwarranted pressure.
"Yeah, I gave it my all."
"The fourth house is different. He is controlling points and demonstrating~"
Martial Arts narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Shinomiya Fields, and said softly. Although the volume of Budo's words was not high, the surrounding Xiangbei team members and Lingnan team members could hear him clearly, and everyone's eyes turned to Shinomiya Tano.
"Give it your best...it's a shame you can say that."
"Tomorrow morning, we will compete with the Mountain King."
"Jinguji Martial Arts, I hope to defeat you again on the stage of the national competition."
"Before you meet us, Lingnan, don't lose to that kind of bastard like Aihe!"
Shinomiya clasped his hands on his chest, looked at the other side of the stand, and said.
"Love and that kind of bastard...you have such a loud voice."
"You'd better defeat the Mountain King, which can be regarded as removing an obstacle for us."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't sweep them away. When the time comes, we will take revenge on you."
"They have Zebei Eiji, who is known as 'Neon's No. 1 High School Student'. Lingnan is no match for them, so that's normal."
Budao could feel the strong confidence from Shinomiya Tōno’s words. Ai and the top four in previous years were like trash in his mouth. This was something Budao did not expect, and listening to the other party’s tone, Sanno’s This kind of national hegemon has turned into a weak team that can be easily defeated in his mouth.
"The number one high school student in Neon?"
"Ho!"
Shinomiya Tōno snorted softly, raised his head slightly, and looked sternly.
"This guy looks so arrogant when he looks at people sideways!"
Wu Dao thought to himself, turned his head back, no longer looked at the opponent, but focused on the court.
The team members around Lingnan all heard the conversation between Shinomiya Tano and Budao. At this moment, Yuzhu was no longer angry. He suddenly realized that what he had just shown was a bit naive.
There will be a match against Sanno tomorrow. On the field, Shinomiya will face off against Japan's No. 1 high school. By then, the talking audience will naturally shut up.
As for whether Shinomiya Tano will suffer in the hands of Sawabita Eiji? Sorry, Jun Uozumi really hasn't thought about this level. With the ability that Eiji Sawabita has shown on the court before, how can he be Shinomiya's opponent? With his small body, can he block Shinomiya Tōno?
The two teams, Xiangbei and Lingnan, left the auditorium without watching a few games. It was not because the game was not exciting enough, but mainly because the people around them were talking more and more unscrupulously. No matter how good-tempered they were, it was annoying to hear them too much.
After the two teams left, these people who were talking seemed to feel that they had won. The discussion became louder and louder, and they began to comment on the players who performed well in this competition. The one who is most respected by the audience is of course Sanno's Sawehita Eiji. After all, he is the first-year ace who dominates the country.
Zebita Eiji has too much aura!
As the last game of the day ended, all 16 teams that entered the third round were announced.
The fifth day of the national competition.
Today is the third round of the knockout rounds. After today, the top 8 players in the country will be determined. For ordinary teams, achieving such results is already quite good, but Xiangbei High School obviously will not set its goals so low.
Today's game between Xiangbei and Aihe was in the afternoon, but early in the morning, the Xiangbei players who did not have a game rushed to the venue early.
There is no other reason. Today's first game of 16 to 8 is between Lingnan High School and Sanno Industrial. The players in Xiangbei attach great importance to this game. They want to see how the national hegemon defeated them. Lingnan, what kind of game is it?
The outcome of today's game is very important to Xiangbei, because if they can defeat Aihe, they will face one of the teams from Sanno and Lingnan.
Early in the morning, the arena was already filled with spectators watching the game. There are many fans of Sanno Industries, and the enthusiasm of those champion fans for Sanno is difficult for ordinary people to understand. When Xiangbei took his seat in the auditorium, people from Lingnan High School and Sanno people were already doing warm-up activities.
"Hmm hum hum hum!"
"I'm so excited! I've been dreaming about this day for a long time!"
"Sanwang, I will let you understand how terrifying Lingnan High School led by me, Shigeichi Taoka, is!"
"After today, audiences across the country will know the name of our Lingnan High School!"
On one side of the court, in the rest area of Lingnan High School, coach Tian Gang clasped his hands on his chest and murmured. His body was trembling slightly, and his face looked excited. His leather shoes kept making a "ta-da-da" sound on the floor. If he was stepping on a sewing machine, he would definitely have a good pair of "feet."
On the court, Lingnan's players were conducting warm-up exercises of passing and layups in an orderly manner without any sense of tension.
In the rest area on the other side of the stadium, Goro Domoto sat on a chair, tapping his fingers on the small table, looking at the Lingnan players who were warming up with interest.
"It's rare! A team that doesn't show any timidity when facing our mountain king!"
