The sudden appearance of Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango Koichiro and other players who had been eliminated before suddenly appeared at the seaside stadium really surprised Sakuragi Hanamichi.
He originally thought that these guys had packed up and gone home, but to his surprise, none of them actually left.
And unlike Sakuragi Hanamichi and the other players training here at the beachfront hotel, Kiyota Nobunaga and others who appeared here at this time were actually wearing uniform black quick-drying jerseys.
On the left chest, there is actually the word Kanagawa Prefecture printed on it.
"These guys." It must be said that Sakuragi Hanamichi's sense of smell is really very sensitive sometimes. After seeing the clothes of Kiyota Nobunaga and others, Sakuragi quickly fell silent.
“I didn’t expect there were so many people.”
"It is not an easy task to select players for our Kanagawa Prefecture representative team from so many people!"
Jinguji Budo roughly observed the players walking into the stadium at this time and said with a smile.
The pressure of competition suddenly increased, but Wu Dao did not feel any pressure.
Although the number of people has increased, it is still unrealistic to threaten his status. It is true that some players have pretty good abilities, but compared with him, they are not even the slightest bit worse.
Martial Arts does not think that these people can be trained in less than three months under the leadership of Coach Gao Tou.
but
Although it cannot affect his status, it is hard to say about others!
And what worries Budo even more is what method the members of the coaching staff will use to select players.
There are more than two hundred players here, and it is not an easy task to select 12 players.
Just as Jinguji Budo was thinking about this matter, Coach Taoka clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the players, and then announced to the players:
"All team members, pay attention!"
"Next, I will announce the selection rules for the Autumn National Sports Team. Everyone should listen carefully."
"You have a total of 215 players here."
"The players of the Autumn National Sports Team are numbered from 4 to 15, a total of 12 players."
"Haha, our selection method is also very simple. You players can form teams freely. Each team requires 6 people."
"The final team has five players."
"In other words, you guys can form a total of 36 teams!"
"The selection method of our coaching staff is also very simple. 36 teams will compete in a round-robin competition!"
"Oh, by the way, we have another special rule here!"
"Then the winning team will be eligible to add players."
"The winning side can steal a player from the losing side! Increase the number of players in their team, thereby enhancing the depth of the bench, thereby strengthening the entire team."
"The initial team size is 6 or 5 people. The final expanded team can have up to 12 people!"
"There is one thing I have to tell you first. Once your team has less than 5 people, haha, you will lose the qualification to participate!"
"Need to find players to fill the team from the free market."
"This so-called free market is also easy to understand. All teams with less than 5 players are considered free markets."
"These players can form teams freely."
When Coach Tagang said this, there was a burst of discussion in the team. Everyone was discussing the selection method that Coach Tagang mentioned. Many people could not immediately understand the game format that Coach Tagang mentioned at this time. .
Xiandao was a little confused and raised his hand.
Coach Tian Gang saw that some players had doubts in their minds, and nodded towards Sendao, signaling Sendao to speak.
"Coach, I probably have the ability to understand the way of playing you are talking about."
"But there's one thing I don't quite understand."
"Then according to the way you mentioned this game, will there be many 12-man teams formed in the end?"
"Those who organize these teams include winners and losers. So who will become the members of the Autumn National Sports Team in the end?!"
Sendao's question at this time is also the question in the minds of other players. They still don't know what coach Tianoka's final selection criteria will be.
"Well, don't worry yet!"
"There is still one most important thing that has not been announced yet."
"There will also be games between 12-man teams and 12-man teams."
"The team that loses will be disbanded and all players will become free agents!"
"That is to say, in the end, there will only be one 12-man team left on this court, and all the members of that team will become members of our Kanagawa Prefecture Aki no Sports representative team!"
"Attention, the selection period is seven days."
"During this time, you are free to form teams and challenge other teams."
"Oh, by the way, because our venues are limited, teams with a large number of players will give priority to using the stadium for challenges."
"And players with a small number of players are not allowed to challenge the team with a larger number of players!"
"Hehehe, then now you are free to form a team."
"Be careful. Don't talk about the friendship between players on the court."
"Selection is cruel. Weak teammates cannot help you become a representative team player."
"The only thing you can rely on is your own strength, and a strong and suitable partner!"
When Coach Tianoka said this, most of the players also knew what his selection mechanism meant.
To put it simply, it is raising Gu.
Let all the players fight against each other, and the 12 players who finally stand above all the players will be the players of the Autumn National Sports Team.
Although it sounds complicated, when it is actually implemented, it is also an easy thing.
As soon as Coach Tianoka finished speaking, some players who were familiar with each other began to form small groups, looking for suitable teammates.
Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango and others who were originally members of Shohoku High School also immediately found Jinguji Martial Arts.
Including Akagi, Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota, Nango, Budo, Kurutani Sora, Miyagi, Katsumi, all players from Shohoku, a total of 9 people.
"Brother Martial Arts, let's form a team!"
"We are Shohoku High School that just won the national championship. As long as we come together, no one can defeat us."
"Although the initial team size can only be 6, with our strength, we will soon be able to crush our opponents and snatch our teammates from others!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi stood next to Jinguji Martial Arts and said excitedly.
"Yes! Jinguji-senpai, we must form a team!"
"It doesn't matter whether the red-haired monkey joins or not, the most important thing is that we must be together!"
Kiyota glanced sideways at Sakuragi Hanamichi and said to Jinguji Budo, his face was also full of excitement.
Unexpectedly, such a selection method was adopted. In this way, these Xiangbei players would be very advantageous compared to other players.
With Jinguji Martial Arts on the team, no matter what kind of opponent they are, they can easily defeat them!
"Oh? Martial arts, do you plan to form a group within Xiangbei?"
"I don't think this is a wise thing to do!"
"This is the selection of Qiu Zhiguo Sports, not a competition between schools. If it is limited to your own team, you will lose miserably!"
At this moment, Shinomiya Tōno and Sendō walked towards Jinguji Martial Arts and said to Jinguji Martial Arts.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, everyone in Xiangbei turned to look. Kiyota Nobunaga couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw Shinomiya Tōno and Sendō. When other Xiangbei players saw these players, their faces became serious.
"."
"Are you two alone?"
"In other words, have you formed a tacit understanding within Lingnan?"
It seemed that the only players looking for him were Shinomiya Tōno and Sendō. He thought of something and asked with a smile.
"ah!"
"Uozumi and Fujima are not my top priorities for teaming up."
"Martial arts, let's come together!"
"Don't be limited by school."
"Only by joining forces can we become the strongest team!"
Shinomiya Tano nodded when he heard what Budo said and did not deny it. Fujima and Uozumi were actually forgotten by him.
"What?!"
Hearing Shinomiya Tōno's words, everyone in Shohoku was shocked. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had such an out-of-the-box temperament, let out a low cry and looked at Shinomiya Tōno with a look of disbelief.
He is a loyal person. If he chooses, he will never abandon his teammates from the same school, except of course the stinky fox!
"Is it."
"Hehehe, so have you chosen the interior players and defenders?"
"The upper limit of the number of people in the first stage is 6 people. Who did you find?"
"The three of us formed a team that is still short of a few positions!"
As soon as Martial Arts finished speaking, Mu Shenyi and Mori Shigehiro from Hainan High School walked over.
Shinomiya Tano heard the movement, turned his head slightly, looked at Mu Shenyi and Mori Shigehiro who were approaching, and replied with a smile:
"It seems that I have thought about it."
"Look, those two are the center and defender I'm looking for!"
"Xian Dao and I, plus the two of them, and you."
"The five of us are the core of the team."
"As for there being a quota?"
While Shinomiya was talking, his eyes fell on Sakuragi Hanamichi. Shinomiya grinned and asked Sakuragi:
"That red-haired brat, why don't you come along? Join us?"
Shinomiya's invitation was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Shohoku team members all focused their attention on Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Shinomiya Tanos came back and invited Jinguji Martial Arts to form a team. Although it was unexpected by them, after a little thought, they could figure it out. It is not difficult to understand that powerful forces join forces for victory.
However, no one expected that Shinomiya would invite Sakuragi Hanamichi. Since it was a strong alliance, even if Shinomiya was called Akagi or Rukawa Kaede, the Shohoku team members would still be able to understand it more or less.
But Sakuragi Hanamichi
In the perception of most people in Shobei, Sakuragi Hanamichi's strength is a "mystery".
The upper limit is very high, and the lower limit is also very high. As teammates, Kiyota Nobunaga and others are more likely to remember Sakuragi Hanamichi's lower limit, and often ignore Sakuragi's upper limit.
Take a certain Polish center as an example. In this year's game, everyone will probably be impressed by the two baskets he made while crossing the bridge, but they will also ignore his other performances on the court.
"Ask me to team up with you?!"
"How is it possible? I want it with our own."
Before Sakuragi Hanamichi could finish what he said, Jinguji Martial Arts interrupted directly: "Haha, interesting!"
"I'm joining!"
The martial arts words made Sakuragi Hanadao swallow them hard.
"Sakuragi, don't have your childish thoughts."
"As Coach Taoka said, basketball is a very cruel sport."
"If you want to stay on the court and play, it's unrealistic to rely on personal relationships!"
"You have to rely on strength!"
"Opportunities don't come often. When the opportunity comes, seize it!"
"Friendship and loyalty can't help you move to a bigger stage!"
While Jinguji Budo was speaking, he had already walked out of the queue and walked in front of Shinomiya Tōno and Sendō. Then he turned back and said to Sakuragi Hanamichi and the other Shohoku team members.
One person, one city may really be the romance of this era, but winning as a team is not incomprehensible.
Friendship is so worthless on the court. During the years that Yao was stationed in the Rockets, the Rockets didn't find any strong players for him just for the sake of friendship!
Not going to Los Angeles to join forces with the Little Prince has to be said to be a major regret in Dayao's NBA career.
For professional athletes, championships are much more useful than friendship!
"What?!" Jinguji Martial Arts walked out of the queue, and the team members in Xiangbei were also shocked.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's pupils suddenly trembled, and he looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in disbelief.
Facing the invitation of Jinguji martial arts, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had always obeyed martial arts, hesitated at this moment.
Turning his head and looking at Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga, Akagi Takenori and others who were watching him, Sakuragi Hanamichi actually lowered his head, shook his head towards Martial Arts, and said:
"Although these guys are all idiots who are holding us back."
"But this genius will bring these bastards to the arena!"
"Brother Martial Arts"
"."
"Jinguji Martial Arts!"
"Since you abandoned Xiangbei High School, I will personally lead Xiangbei to defeat you, defeat you!"
"Then, I'll take you back from these guys!"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Sakuragi Hanamichi flatly rejected the martial arts invitation, and instead shouted aggressively towards the Jinguji martial arts.
"Hey" Hearing what Sakuragi said, Rukawa Kaede's stern face showed a soft look, but he made a disdainful sneer in his mouth, walked to Sakuragi's side, and said:
"We're going to challenge you."
"Then become the top team!"
When Rukawa Kaede was talking, Akagi Takenori, Miyagi Ryota, Nango and others also walked behind Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, and a group of people formed a faint confrontation with Budao and others.
Shinomiya and others saw the two first-year students Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede looking high on fighting spirit, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"good!"
"Then we'll wait for you!"
Budao looked at Sakuragi and Rukawa with firm faces, nodded slightly, and took the lead to turn around and leave. Since Sakuragi has no idea of joining, Budao also plans to find someone else, and he has already thought of the candidate!
As Jinguji Budo, Shinomiya Tanano and others left, Sakuragi Hanadao and several members of Shohoku quickly started a discussion. They plan to use their own strength to form a team of 12 people to defeat Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano!
But Budo and others who left also directly approached Mike Okita and added this blond mixed-race to the team!
