For the first time, Coach Taoka shook hands with Coach Domoto with a smile on his face.
“Coach Domoto, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon!
"
"If nothing else, there will definitely be many opportunities for us to meet in the future!"
Coach Domoto told the truth. He believes that as long as Yuzhu is still in Lingnan, Lingnan can win the top four in the country and have many opportunities to join forces with the Sanwang.
There is also the Autumn National Sports Competition. As long as Lingnan's performance is not bad, coach Tian Gang is likely to continue to be the coach of the Autumn National Sports Competition.
Coach Domoto has fully recognized Coach Taoka’s coaching ability and regards Coach Taoka as one of his main competitors in the next three years.
"Coach Domoto, please continue to give me guidance in this game!"
"Coach Taoka, you are the senior, it is only me who should say this."
Coach Domoto was smiling, but he was sighing in his heart, because if nothing unexpected happened, Lingnan's rise would be unstoppable.
If Lingnan's grades are good, he can attract more outstanding freshmen. Over time, it will be a virtuous circle. At least until Yuzhu graduates, Lingnan's grades will not be bad, and he is destined to be one of the best in the country.
The two did not separate immediately and began to discuss some topics about basketball.
As they chatted, the players had finished warming up.
Soon, the game officially started.
Lingnan's starting lineup is still the same, with Uozumi, Ikegami, Zuo Zuoki Oribe, Ozawa Yusaku and Matsushita Asahi Ken.
The Akita team's starting lineup is also very similar. At this point, both coaches chose to focus on stability.
Of course, this is also related to the strength of the players.
Center: Kentaro Sakurai, 201cm, 96kg, third grade
Power Forward: Kashima Maple Smooth, 189cm, 84kg, third grade
Small forward: Minoru Matsumoto, 183 cm, 78 kg, first grade
Shooting Guard: Masashi Kawada, 184cm, 82kg, first grade
Point guard: Kazunari Fukatsu, 179cm, 75kg, first grade
Compared with more than two months ago, many Sanwang players have increased in height and weight to varying degrees.
Among them, Kentaro Sakurai has gained 3 kilograms, and I don’t know if it will affect his sensitivity.
Kentaro Sakurai chose to gain weight, obviously to cope with Uozumi.
Unfortunately, Uozumi still weighs more than him.
After the game started, the noise in the stadium became louder and louder.
Judging from the momentum, Lingnan, who takes advantage of the home court, is still ahead of the Mountain King.
At the referee's signal, the two stood in the center circle and started jumping the ball.
"Asshole, this guy seems to be taller and stronger!"
Kentaro Sakurai felt jealous. Since his third year in high school, his height had not increased. On the other hand, Uozumi had grown several centimeters in just six months.
For a center, height is important.
At this time, the referee threw the ball into the sky.
Kentaro Sakurai beat the ball slowly, allowing Uozumi to pass the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita with half an arm's length.
Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Asahi Ken Matsushita held the ball calmly through the half, ready to wait for his teammates to get into position.
During this process, Fukatsu took the initiative to harass Matsushita Asahi Ken, trying to make the opponent make mistakes.
Matsushita Asahi Ken was already prepared, immediately lowered his center of gravity, raised his buttocks and dribbled sideways, not giving Fukatsu a chance.
In this regard, Panasonic Asahi Sword can be considered 'experienced'.
Judging from his feeling, Fukatsu Kazunari's confrontation ability is not as good as Buri's Nohara Koichiro, but the former's overall strength is stronger.
Soon, Uozumi was in the low position and easily trapped Kentaro Sakurai behind him.
Lingnan's attack launch point has always been Yuzhu. As long as Yuzhu attracts double-teams, other teammates will easily have opportunities.
Matsushita Asahi Ken immediately passed the ball steadily, but Fukatsu expressed his inability to do anything about it.
Being short also has its advantages, not to mention that Panasonic Xujian's movements are fast and flexible, making it very difficult to steal.
Uozumi caught the ball with both hands, and he first observed his surroundings.
As before, teammates pulled their respective players away to give him a better singles environment.
Seeing that no players were double-teaming him, Uozumi began to play singles against Kentaro Sakurai with confidence.
Peng ~
"His power seems to be greater!"
Kentaro Sakurai felt a huge surge of force, pushing the center of gravity of his upper body to move backward.
The key is that this is just a test by Uozumi, which makes Kentaro Sakurai feel even more uncomfortable.
Regardless of tonnage or strength, Kentaro Sakurai was at a disadvantage, and the gap between the two was wider than in the Autumn National Sports Competition.
Without hesitation, Yuzhu once again chose to hit from behind.
Peng ~
Kentaro Sakurai couldn't help but groaned, feeling a more powerful force coming.
Unable to hold on any longer, he couldn't help but take a step back.
The moment he retreated, Uozumi quickly turned around and charged forward. When Kentaro Sakurai wanted to defend, the two were almost parallel.
This retreat caused him to directly lose his defensive position.
Yuzhu strode into the penalty area with no one to defend him, so he took advantage of the situation and made a standard Monkey King dunk.
Bang~
With the strong sound of the basket being smashed, the atmosphere in the gymnasium became more and more heated, and voices of support for Lingnan and Yuzhu were everywhere.
Sanno's offense, Fukatsu held the ball past halftime, and then passed the ball to Sanno's ace Kashima Mapleshuang.
The first goal, not surprisingly, was played by the team's ace.
Ikegami stared closely at Kashima Maple Shuang and said in a low voice: "Kashima-senpai, I am afraid that the title of the number one high school student in the country will be given up to someone else today."
Kashima Fengshuang's eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked directly at Ikegami and couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's impossible with your material, Ikegami!"
"Kashima-senpai, you know that I am talking about Uozumi, but you still need to involve me. However, I will try my best in this game, come on!"
Ikegami's eyes were solemn as never before. No matter what, he must contain Kashima Maple Shuang's performance in this game.
"Yozumi, he's not qualified yet!"
The moment he finished speaking, Kashima MapleShuang broke through with the ball.
His first step was too fast. Even if Chishang was prepared, he still took advantage of him.
The moment Ikegami retreated subconsciously, Kashima Maple Shuang seemed to predict his thoughts. He quickly took a step back and hit a three-pointer.
Huh~
The basketball went straight into the net.
"Ikegami, I will give this title to him after I graduate."
After saying this, Kashima Fengshuang turned around and returned to defense.
Not far away, Uozumi more or less overheard the conversation between the two. Naturally, he wanted to win back the favor for his friend, not to mention that he was very interested in the title of the No. 1 high school student in the country.
No matter what, he is better than the center who is the No. 1 high school student in the country. After all, in terms of position, there are five similar titles, but there is only one No. 1 high school student in the country.
