After the competition between Hakata Shoda High School and Aiwa Academy, the finalists of this national competition have been determined.
After the competition between Hakata Shoda Affiliated High School and Aiwa Academy came to an end, the call for Shohoku to win the championship became stronger than ever.
The vast majority of the audience watching the game in the venue today watched two games. Almost everyone witnessed Shohoku's victory and Hakata's victory before their eyes. The audience had their own expectations for the strength of these two teams. Most people believed that the strength of Shohoku High School was far better than that of the Hakata Commerce University.
The reason is also very simple. Compared with the competition between Shohoku High School and Lingnan High School, the competition between Hakata University of Commerce and Aiwa Academy does not actually transcend the category of "high school" basketball.
Whether it was Morohoshi, the ace of Aiwa Academy, or Hamady Jonsson, who later came on the scene to lead the team to win, neither of them showed the same "unsolvable performance" as Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano. ” offensive posture.
Therefore, in the audience's senses, Shohoku High School is naturally much stronger than Hakata Shang University Affiliated School.
However, there are not only ordinary fans watching the game at the scene, but also many high school or college players and coaches.
When these people watch the game, they will not simply focus on the performance of the team's ace, but more often they will also look at the overall strength of the entire team.
Although the affiliated school of Hakata Shougang University only beat Aiwa Academy by a few points, these people could see that the match between Hakata and Aiwa did not actually use their full strength.
This can be seen from the fact that Hamadi Jonsson only came on the field at the beginning of the second half.
Therefore, these people still feel that the Hakata Shang University affiliates should not be underestimated. Even if there is a gap in hard power with Shohoku, through the team, they may be able to compete with Shohoku.
I don’t know since when, Xianghoku High School has become a “big mountain” in the eyes of fans. When other teams are compared with Xianghoku High School, fans will not discuss who is stronger and who is weaker, but who is stronger and who is weaker. We only discuss whether this opponent has the capital to fight with Xiangbei.
Obviously, Hakata Shangda Affiliated has the capital to fight.
After all the games in the semifinals were over, coach Anxi took the players back to the hotel.
After a period of rest, Jinguji Budo became energetic after returning to the hotel. Coach Anzai saw that Budo seemed to be energetic, so he didn't waste time. While there was still time in the afternoon, he immediately called all the players into the common room, preparing to review the performance of Hakata and Aiwa for the Shohoku players. Contest.
Let’s focus on analyzing the technical characteristics of the player Hamadi Jonsson.
Although the national competition has been held for several rounds so far, Xiangbei High School does not know much about the player Hamadi Jonson.
Everyone in Xiangbei paid more attention to Lingnan High School in the early stages of the national competition.
They regard Lingnan as the most difficult opponent to overcome, so except for Lingnan, when Xiangbei faces other opponents, they often only know about it the day before the encounter.
My understanding of the mixed-race player from Hakata Shoudai was limited to the afternoon game.
A few days ago, Xiangbei also watched Hamady Jonsson's matches, but in those games, Hamady Jonsson's ability was somewhat satisfactory.
But in the afternoon match against Aihe, Hamadi Jonsson directly crushed Zhu Xingda and helped the team win.
It was precisely because of Hamadi Jonson's outstanding performance in the afternoon that everyone in northern Hunan fell in love with this mixed-race boy.
In the common room, Coach Anxi took out a video tape from his bag, put it in the video, and turned on the TV.
Everyone in Xiangbei gathered behind Coach Anxi, waiting for Coach Anxi to play the videotape.
Before the video started, Mitsui Hisashi put his hands behind his head and said to Jinguji Budo next to him:
"If you take a rough look at the match between Martial Arts, Hakata Shoga University Affiliated and Aiwa Academy, there is basically nothing special in the first half of the match."
"But in the second half of the game, you have to pay attention to one person."
"The backup point guard affiliated with Hakata Shang University is very strong."
"On both offense and defense, he suppressed the performance of Morohoshida very well."
"You should know something about it, Morohoshida. If he can do something like that, this guy is not an ordinary character."
While Mitsui Hisashi was talking, Coach Anzai had already turned on the TV, and the afternoon game had begun to play on the TV.
The other members of the Xiangbei team seemed to be in a lack of interest and did not pay attention to the video tape at all. Firstly, they had watched each other's game in the afternoon, and secondly, everyone in Xiangbei had relaxed to varying degrees after defeating Lingnan.
I already looked down upon a team with the strength of Hakata Shoda High School.
As for Jinguji Martial Arts, since I was "resting" in the afternoon, I didn't know much about the player Mitsui Hisukou, so I was somewhat serious when watching the game.
Coach Anxi deliberately speeded up the video playback. As the screen played on the TV, the first half of the game passed quickly. Budo didn't have much interest in the first half of the game on the video screen.
Although the two teams, Hakata and Aiwa, are both good in strength, they cannot threaten Shohoku at all with the strength they have shown so far.
However, as the substitute defender affiliated with Hakata Shoudai came on in the video, the game started to become interesting.
Under the coordination of Hamadi Jonsson, Hakata Shang University's attack was obviously much smoother. Compared with the first half, the strength of the entire team has been improved by a whole level.
On the defensive end of Bodo, Hamadi Jonson also made outstanding contributions.
Aiwa Academy is a standard star basketball. Morohoshi is not only the team's ace, but also the team's point guard, enjoying the most ball rights and offensive opportunities.
However, under the supervision of Hamady Jonsson, Morohoshi's offensive efficiency obviously dropped off a cliff, and the situation on the court began to tilt significantly.
Less than 5 minutes into the second half, Aihe Academy's decline was already evident. As the game progressed, Bodo's advantage grew larger and larger, so much so that Aihe completely lost the chance to make a comeback.
After watching for a long time, Mitsui Hisashi asked Jinguji Martial Arts: "Martial Arts, how do you feel?"
"How do you feel? Not very good."
"The strength is pretty good, a little stronger than Zhuxingda, but that's all."
"I'm probably on par with you. I think the match against Hakata will be decided in the first half."
Jinguji Budo heard Mitsui Shou's question and answered casually, looking unconcerned.
Mitsui Hisashi saw Jinguji Martial Arts looking full of confidence. At first he nodded solemnly, expressing his approval of Jinguji Martial Arts' judgment, but later he came to his senses and rushed directly to Jinguji Temple. Behind Jinguji Budo, his arms directly wrapped around Jinguji Budo's neck, and said angrily:
"What does it mean to be with me?! What does it mean to be just like that?!"
"ah!?"
"You guy, you are getting more and more carried away!"
Seeing that Xiangbei High School is getting closer and closer to the goal of "domesticating the whole country", Hisashi Mitsui, who has always been nervous, is particularly relaxed today, and his personality is much more cheerful than before.
"Hahaha!" Martial Arts put a hand on his throat and laughed without struggling. Seeing the relaxed looks of Jinguji Budo and Hisashi Mitsui, the other members of the Shohoku team are also full of confidence in tomorrow's finals.
These two people are the backbone of Shohoku. As long as Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budō are emotionally stable, there is no chance that the Shohoku team will lose morale.
Coach Anxi watched the scene happening around him silently, with a gentle smile on his face.
The eyes under the glasses were full of fire.
At night.
There were stars in the clear night sky.
In the bedroom of the Shohoku players, Hisashi Mitsui was lying on the tatami by the window, looking out the window with his head sideways.
The hands of the clock on the wall of the room have reached 12 midnight. But Mitsui Hisashi was not sleepy at all at this time. As the finals approached, Mitsui Hisashi felt a surge in his chest and could not sleep at all.
In fact, Mitsui Hisashi was not the only one who couldn't sleep in this room.
The bedrooms in Xiangbei are distributed according to grade. The people who share the same dormitory with Hisashi Mitsui are all third-year team members, Takenori Akagi, Konobu Kingure, Oishi Chiba, and Miyagi, who is in the lower grade.
Miyagi Ryota was in a good mood and had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly.
Akagi and Mumu were just like Mitsui Hisashi. They tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Hearing the frequent turning movements behind him, Mitsui Hisashi couldn't help but turn around and saw Takenori Akagi, who was tossing and turning. He couldn't help but said softly:
"What's the matter, gorilla, it's not a full moon today, I guess you don't need to transform, right?"
There was a smile in Mitsui Hisashi's tone, and he also used a "pet name" for Akagi Gokengo.
"."
"I don't want to transform and I won't transform."
"I just can't sleep."
As he spoke, Takenori Akagi lay on the tatami, looking at the ceiling, and said.
"Can't you sleep?" Mitsui Shou pondered for a few seconds and did not continue to answer.
"I just feel a little unreal, but I didn't expect that the championship of the national competition is really close before my eyes!"
In the darkness, Takenori Akagi raised his hands and put them in front of his eyes. Looking at his palms, Akagi said slowly.
He is different from Hisashi Mitsui. Although Hisashi Mitsui's physical condition is not that "explosive", he is talented. His shooting and golf intelligence cannot be learned by others.
The only thing Takenori Akagi has is his height, and even with his height, he is not one of the top. The simple and steady style of play is synonymous with Akagi today.
The year Takenori Akagi entered Shohoku High School, he and Hisashi Mitsui wanted to lead Shohoku to the national competition, but the result...
In Akagi's sophomore year of high school, Jinguji Martial Arts and Miyagi Ryota entered Shohoku, but that year, Shohoku encountered the dominant Lingnan on the national competition stage and lost.
From that day on, although Akagi shouted the slogan of "dominating the country", he was actually a little disappointed with Shohoku in his heart.
But he didn't expect that by the time he became a third-year player, the team would have experienced explosive growth.
Today, their Xiangbei team has even successfully surpassed Lingnan High School, seeing that the obstacles on the road to the national championship have been cleared away!
There has never been a moment when Akagi was as sure as he is now, convinced that Xiangbei can dominate the country!
"Isn't it true?"
"But that's what it is."
"You will be happy when you get the winning trophy tomorrow."
Mitsui Shou said and closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but in the Xiangbei dormitory, a few more even breathing sounds were heard amidst the loud snoring.
The next day.
The dim light of the morning sun shines on the earth through the layers of fog.
Early in the morning, Jinguji Martial Arts got up early to wash up. After cleaning myself up briefly, I went directly to the gym to do some simple stretching activities before the other team members got up.
In yesterday's match with Lingnan, Jinguji Martial Arts consumed a lot of energy. Normally, it would be impossible to fully recover from such fatigue after a night's rest.
Appropriate stretching activities can help martial arts recover as much as possible.
But Jinguji martial arts is different. His usual physical training is already very strict, and don't forget, he also has potions specially provided by the "system".
At this moment, Jinguji martial arts has returned to its peak state.
"Feels good!"
"Today's game against Hakata Shoga University, try to seal the victory in the first half!"
It was just after 7 o'clock in the morning, and the Xiangbei players who were ready to go boarded the bus heading back to the game.
Half an hour later, the bus stopped at the entrance of Hiroshima Stadium.
Under the gaze of a group of passers-by, everyone in Xiangbei climbed up the steps and walked towards the venue.
Xiangbei arrived very early, but there were already many spectators watching the game in the stands.
After a period of adjustment in the lounge, at nearly eight o'clock, the Xiangbei players passed through the player tunnel and arrived at the stadium.
When the Xiangbei players walked out of the tunnel, the audience in the stands suddenly burst into amazing cheers.
After nearly 30 minutes of adjustment and warm-up time, with the referee's whistle, the finals of the national competition officially began!
"Let's go!"
Hisashi Mitsui, who had already changed his jersey, heard the whistle, clapped his hands, shouted loudly, and then walked into the stadium first.
Behind him were Takenori Akagi, Oishi Chiba, Konobu Mugure, and four other martial artists from Jinguji Temple.
In today's game, these four people, together with Hisashi Mitsui, will be the starting players for Shohoku.
In the Xiangbei rest area, the first-year team members gave their warmest cheers when they saw the seniors entering the court.
"Come on! Brother Glasses~~"
"Brother Shitou, work hard! Don't let anyone beat you up!"
"Gorilla, pass the ball more! Don't force yourself~"
The cheers of Sakuragi and others were really "enthusiastic". Several third-year players who walked into the stadium had black lines on their heads and turned back to glare at Sakuragi and others.
Martial Arts smiled and looked relaxed.
Mitsui Hisashi's face was full of determination.
