The practice date agreed by Coach Anxi and Coach Dafeng of Lvfeng arrived soon. For everyone in Xiangbei who is focused on preparing for the national competition, time flies really fast.
As the Xiangbei bus stopped at the entrance of Lvfeng, everyone in Xiangbei also walked off the bus under the leadership of Coach Anxi.
Before and after the county competition, Japanese universities have actually entered the summer vacation. Green Wind, a private school, is actually no exception.
Arriving at the gate of Green Wind High School, the Xiangbei team members had to sigh.
"As expected of a private aristocratic school." But you can tell from the gate that this school is
"Hao", looking to the left and right, you can't see the head of this school at all. The area is so large that the Xiangbei team members have never seen it before.
"Huh~~You are really rich, this Green Wind High School."
"It turns out that private schools look like this. Looking at it this way, the basketball gym in this school must be very big." Miyagi Ryota looked around, his expression full of emotion.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga, who had escaped, had already run out of the team and looked towards the Green Wind Campus.
Even Rukawa Kaede, a person with a cold personality, showed a little curiosity in his eyes at this moment, looking up.
"Huh, no matter how well-built the school is, what's the use of having great facilities?"
"We are here to play practice matches, not to visit."
"Everyone of you, please restrain yourself." Mitsui Hisashi is a person who cares about face, and his family background is very good. He is also a person who has seen the world. He is not surprised that Green Wind High School has such a campus environment. .
The appearance of Sakuragi Hanamichi and others who had never seen the world made Hisashi Mitsui, the captain, feel embarrassed.
"Hoo ho ho."
"Let's go in, Coach Ofuna, he's already waiting for us." Coach Anxi smiled and said to the team members, and then walked towards the campus.
Although Green Wind is a big school, people in Xiangbei who come to this school for the first time will not get lost. The reason is also very simple, because there are many road signs on the roads in the campus. Each of these road signs can guide everyone in Xiangbei to find the way. stadium.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was still amazed at this. It was the first time that he saw such a thing as a road sign in the school. It looked like he had never seen the world before, which made Mitsui Hisashi frown frequently.
Not long after, everyone in Xiangbei arrived at the door of the gymnasium of Green Wind High School. No one needed to guide them. Coach Anxi stepped forward and gently opened the door of the gymnasium.
"Wow!!" The moment the door opened, astonishing cheers came from the arena. Looking intently towards the arena, everyone in Xiangbei discovered that the basketball arena in Lufeng was actually full of spectators. .
It seems that they should be the students of Green Wind High School. It is obviously a holiday, but these students of Green Wind actually came to support their school's basketball team.
When the Xiangbei players entered the gym, everyone looked around in surprise. The four-sided table full of people made the Xiangbei players feel like they were back in the county competition.
No one would have thought that a high school basketball gym would actually have four sides. Depending on the capacity, it could easily accommodate one or two thousand people watching the game at the same time.
This kind of generosity shocked the Xiangbei players who were used to playing in the Xiangbei Arena.
"oh!"
"It's like playing a game, there are so many spectators!" After entering the arena, even Hisashi Mitsui couldn't help but sigh. Such a lively scene was just like the scene of a practice match.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was originally a little uninterested, gained some enthusiasm because of the large number of viewers.
When the Xiangbei players entered the arena, the members of the Green Wind High School Basketball Department were still moving freely on the sidelines. Several players were still carrying the ball and doing simple warm-up activities on the sidelines.
But when the Xiangbei players entered the court, these Green Wind players all looked at the Xiangbei players.
"Oh! Mike, look, the team from Shohoku has arrived."
"Look, the tallest one following the old man is the Jinguji Martial Arts Master in Shobei."
"The person you want to challenge is him, right?!" Ebina from Green Wind High School saw everyone in Xiangbei entering, and immediately pulled the blond boy beside him and said excitedly.
"Jinguji Martial Arts?! He's here?!" Mike Okita also raised his head when he heard this, and turned to look in the direction of the people in Xiangbei.
While the Green Wind players were looking at the Xiangbei players, Sakuragi and others were also looking at the Green Wind players.
"Foreigner!"
"Is that person a four-star high school student?" Although everyone in Shohoku had only heard of Mike Okita's name, when they saw the blond boy sitting in the green wind rest area, the Shohoku team members immediately identified him. It's the one who came back from the United States.
"Four-star high school student." Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even call him by his name and directly called him a four-star master student.
At this time, Lvfeng's coach Dafune also saw everyone from Xiangbei arriving at the arena. He quickly stood up from his seat and walked towards coach Anxi.
Budo did not listen to the greetings of Coach Anzai and Coach Ofune at this moment, but looked at Mike Okita.
Although he had never heard of the other person when he was in the United States, Budo was also somewhat curious about Mike Okita.
After all, this was the first time he heard that the NBA was paying attention to a four-star high school student. You know, when he was playing with Oak Hill College, he also caused some waves in the American high school basketball world.
But even then, I haven't heard of any NBA team favoring him. When it comes to paying attention to something, at most it means someone on the university team has had some contact with martial arts.
But even those college teams that have contact with martial arts are very few. Shouldn't martial arts think that a four-star high school student can be better than him? If he doesn't get the attention of the NBA, the other party can get it?
But Budo himself seems to have forgotten that Mike Okita is different from him, although everyone plays the small forward position, and Budo ranks much higher than Mike Okita among high school students in the United States.
But Mike Okita has white skin. Although he is of mixed race, his blond hair and blue eyes are also obviously Caucasian features.
In this era, there is no precedent for a yellow man to succeed in the NBA. In the 1990s, no one can surpass the current achievements of Jinguji Martial Arts.
The reason why Jinguji Martial Arts has not received enough attention is that on the one hand, there are too few competitions to refer to, and on the other hand, it is the skin color of Jinguji Martial Arts!
"The 'Yellow Storm' in Oak Hill!"
"I've only seen him in magazines before, but this is the first time I've seen him in person."
"The aura is so strong!" Mike Okita looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in the Shohoku team from a distance, feeling the aura emanating from Jinguji Martial Arts, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Ebina next to him was also surprised when he heard Mike Okita's words, and asked strangely: "Yellow storm? This is the first time I heard it."
"Is that the nickname of Jinguji Martial Arts? Is he famous in the American high school basketball world?"
"No way, didn't he just go to the United States to fight for half a year and then come back because he couldn't survive?" Ebina's words also stunned Mike Okita. He had just come back, and this was the first time he knew the reputation of Jinguji Martial Arts here. Is such that.
Then he scratched his hair and explained: "He is very famous. He is the ace of Oak Hill High School. He performed amazingly just after joining the team."
"As for Oak Hill...emmm, to put it simply, it is the number one high school in the United States. In terms of strength, it is far from what the high schools here can compare with." Mike Okita's words also surprised Ebina. This was his first time. Did you know that Jinguji Martial Arts still has such a reputation in the American high school basketball world?
Looking at Jinguji Martial Arts in the queue in Shohoku, Ebina couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Mike, how do you compare with Jinguji Martial Arts?" When Mike Okita heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, He shook his head first, then nodded again, and said confidently: "My school is not as good as Oak Hill, but in terms of ability, I shouldn't be too far behind him!"
"After all..." Mike Okita still has half a sentence left to say. He wants to say that he is a white man, has better talent than the yellow race, and has a higher upper limit than the yellow race.
But Mike Okita is not a fool, and there is no way he would say such mindless words in front of Ebina and his teammates at Green Wind High School.
Ebina didn't care about what Mike was saying. He was already swayed by the name of Jinguji Martial Arts.
The Green Wind players around the two of them also heard these words, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jinguji Martial Arts.
At this time, Green Wind Manager Huili came to Xiangbei and greeted everyone in Xiangbei familiarly.
"Welcome everyone from Xiangbei to our Green Wind High School."
"It is really an honor for us, Green Wind High School, to play a practice match with the nationally famous Xiangbei High School." In the first two sentences, Hui Li said it quite decently, giving everyone at Xiangbei High School face, but in the last sentence, But it made the faces of the Xiangbei players change slightly.
"But it's really a pity that our Green Wind High School basketball team has just been formed this year and is not yet able to participate in the summer season."
"Otherwise, we can also go to the national competition and see the strong teams across the country!"
"After all, public high schools like Xiangbei can enter the national competition. If we, a private powerhouse like Green Wind, can participate in the IH qualifiers, we will definitely be able to qualify." Huili's words will make even the dullest person understand. Able to react.
Even Caizi, who has always had a good temper, snorted twice with a smile when he heard this: "Heh...heh..."
"Then we in Xiangbei really want to see the strength of your Green Wind!" Hearing this, Hui Li covered his mouth and laughed, glanced at Cai Zi with contempt, and said indifferently: " Ah! I’ll let you see it!”
"Mike on our team is a high school student who returned from the United States."
"He is also a famous four-star high school student in the United States!"
"Do you know the value of four-star high school students? Only five-star high school students can be better than four-star high school students. Among the many high school students playing basketball in the United States, only more than 20 people can be rated as five-star!"
"You have to know that America and Kanagawa are different!"
"Even Shohoku High School in Kanagawa is not the strongest. Facing our Green Wind, there is no possibility of victory at all!" After saying that, Eri covered her mouth and chuckled, looked at everyone in Shohoku with contempt, and turned towards Walk to your team's rest area.
Her purpose of inviting Xiangbei to play a practice match has been achieved. At this time, there is no need to pretend anymore.
After reaching Xiangbei, her goal was achieved. Building on the reputation of Xiangbei High School and their green style is the purpose of Huili's organization of today's practice match!
"Wha...what!"
"That woman dared to look down on us!" Eri's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi furious. He looked at Eri leaving angrily and said through gritted teeth.
Eri's attack was too broad. Not only Sakuragi Hanamichi looked angry, but the rest of the team members also looked aggrieved.
The most indifferent ones are Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi.
"Four-star high school student..."
"In this case, the competition is quite interesting." Mitsui Shou said with a smile. He didn't care. As he spoke, he turned to look at Jinguji Martial Arts. When he saw Martial Arts holding his hands behind his head, with an indifferent expression on his face, he also smiled at the moment. got up.
"Hey, Budo, are you going to play in today's game?!" Mitsui Hisashi asked with a smile, waiting for Budo's answer.
"Come on, he is a four-star high school student after all, and I haven't beaten many of them. Let's see how strong he is."
"It should be a bit interesting." Jinguji Budo looked at Mike Okita from a distance and said with a smile. To be honest, in this year's county competition, I didn't play hard at all. Either the opponent was too weak, or he didn't have enough playing time.
Martial Arts is also looking forward to being able to fight against Lu Feng. While the players in Xiangbei were communicating, coach Anxi had also discussed matters related to the warm-up match with Lvfeng's coach Dafune.
After returning to the team, Coach Anxi led the players to the rest area and asked the players to change clothes and start warming up.
Before the warm-up, coach Anxi made personnel arrangements.
"Everyone must pay attention to this practice match."
"Although Green Wind High School is a newly formed team this year, their players are all talented players from all over the country."
"Ace Mike Okita is a player who has returned from the United States!"
"This is a rare opportunity, you should cherish it."
"Today's starters are Nango Koichiro, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mitsui Hisashi, Jinguji Budo, and Rukawa Kaede."
"The five of you will appear as starters."
"Miyagi, be prepared, I will send you on the field at any time." After hearing Coach Anzai's arrangement, the players who were selected as the starters all became excited.
The players who were not called were a little disappointed. Takenori Akagi didn't care when he heard that he didn't have a chance to play. He smiled and patted the backs of several starting players to encourage them.
His foot injury has not healed yet, so it will be good for him to play less games before the national competition!
"Sa, change your clothes and go warm up."
"We have seen today, the strength of four-star high school students!" Hisashi Mitsui clapped his hands and shouted to his teammates, looking at Jinguji Martial Arts intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
He really wanted to know what it would be like for a four-star high school student to face a five-star Jinguji Martial Arts student.
This kind of duel can also help Mitsui Hisashi find his own strength positioning. His ambitions, Mitsui Hisashi's, are not limited to Kanagawa, but also to Asia!
The players came in to warm up. Jinguji Budo and his teammates were doing warm-up exercises together, glancing at Mike Okita on the opposite side from time to time.
"Is it possible to boast four stars? If I defeat him, will the NBA also pay attention to me?!"...................... ..
