June 1st, Children’s Day!
Fukuoka Dome is also the largest and most luxurious stadium in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This day is also the swearing-in meeting for the summer national competition.
The Lingnan team and the Xiangbei team met at the door and greeted each other.
Uozumi subconsciously looked at Akagi's right foot and asked: "Akagi, is your foot healed?"
"It's completely healed. Fortunately, I caught up."
Akagi breathed a sigh of relief. His foot was completely healed just a few days ago. If he was unable to participate in the national competition due to a foot injury, he would probably regret it to death.
It must be said here that Akagi did not play in the play-offs. Even so, with Mitsui's strength, Shohoku still won the national competition spot.
Generally speaking, although there are several teams in the play-offs, there are basically no top eight teams in the country.
"That's good, but your grouping situation is a bit bad."
Uozumi raised the "Basketball Weekly" in Yang's hand, which naturally contained the evaluations of each team and the grouping situation.
Since the Lingnan team won the semi-finals last year, the Lingnan team automatically became the third group seed team this year.
As for the other three seeded teams in the group, they are Hakata Shougang University Affiliated in the first group, Sanno Industrial in the second group and Shoyang team in the fourth group. They are all arranged based on last year's results.
The Xiangbei team was placed in the second group. If nothing else happens, they may have to face Sanno Industries.
"It doesn't matter to us. After all, your four seeded teams are all so perverted. No matter which seeded team we meet, there is almost no hope of winning."
Akagi looked a little depressed, as he said, unless a miracle occurs, no matter whether he meets Lingnan, Sanno, Hakata or Xiangyang,
The Xiangbei team is probably destined to be eliminated.
At this time, Mitsui suddenly interjected: "By the way, our Lingnan team has reached a new level this year, and it can be compared with Sanno Industries."
In the national competition last summer, the Lingnan team was selected as a Class A team by Basketball Weekly.
This year is different. Lingnan, Sanno, and Hakata are all rated AA teams.
After all, Hakata was the double champion last year, and with Nobite's improved strength, it makes sense to be rated as an AA team.
As for the Xiangbei team that entered the national competition for the first time, it was not rated as a C-level team like the original book. Instead, it was rated as an A-level team like the Lingnan team last year.
Hainan, the mighty king, was continuously stepped on by Xiangbei, which added a lot of points for the Xiangbei team.
Stepping on the king's back and ascending to the throne is naturally not an ordinary scenery.
As we all know, the civil war in Kanagawa Prefecture was so fierce that it was nicknamed a mini-national competition.
And the strength of the team that can stand out from Kanagawa Prefecture can be imagined.
Soon, everyone arrived at the stadium.
The area of the Fukuoka Dome is not small, at least it is much larger than the Kanagawa Center Gymnasium.
At this time, there are 59 teams from all over the country.
Due to the relationship with the host, Fukuoka Prefecture has one more place than before and has three places, namely Hakata Shokan University Affiliated, Hojo No. 4 Shojo and Maizuru High School.
Unlike Kanagawa Prefecture, the competition in Fukuoka Prefecture is not fierce, because Hakata and the four Hojo merchants have occupied Fukuoka Prefecture's quota all year round, and Hakata is far stronger than the four Hojo merchants.
Thanks to the advantages of the host country, Maizuru High School stood out.
The reason why the national competition is located in Fukuoka Prefecture is also related to Hakata winning the national competition last summer.
This means that if the championship of this summer’s national competition is won by a team from Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture may be chosen as the host for the next summer national competition. By that time, Kanagawa Prefecture will have three national competitions and A play-off spot.
Of course, this is possible, and it mainly depends on the choice of the National Competition Organizing Committee.
The Lingnan team quickly formed a queue. Their position was in the center. On the left were Sanno Industrial, Hakata and Shoyo, and on the right were Aiwa Academy and Daiei Academy.
As the captain of the team, Uozumi had to stand in front holding a wooden sign. Compared with his huge body, the wooden sign looked very small.
The positions of the remaining Lingnan players are mainly determined based on their status and seniority in the team.
As the Lingnan team lined up, nearby players always subconsciously set their eyes on Yuzhu.
There is no way, Yuzhu is too high, obviously higher than last year, and he is definitely the player with the highest altitude this year.
In the Aiwa Academy Array, since Hiroyuki Takeshita has graduated, like Uozumi and others, second-year Morohoshi makes an exception and becomes the captain of the team.
"Uozumi, how tall are you now?"
"202 centimeters!"
Yuzumi answered subconsciously.
Hearing these words, many Sanno players rolled their eyes wildly, and Nobe Masahiro said speechlessly: "Uozumi, there is trust between people.
Last winter competition, you reported a height of 202 centimeters, but you deceived Sakurai-senpai. This year, you are obviously taller than last year. No one will believe that you are only 202 centimeters. "
Last winter, Kentaro Sakurai was the victim.
Masahiro Nobe was nearly two meters tall. He only needed to look at it to know that Uozumi was higher than it was during last winter competition, which also made him despair.
There was no way, who let Shohiro Nobe play center.
Seeing Masahiro Nobe's depressed face, Masashi Kawada smiled evilly. Only fools play center. Isn't power forward good?
"Sorry, sorry, it was just a completely subconscious behavior."
Uozumi is also very puzzled. Whenever someone asks him about his height, his mind always subconsciously thinks of 202 centimeters, which is Uozumi's height in the original work.
"I'm 211 centimeters now!"
In nearly a month, the altitude where the fish lives has grown by another 1 centimeter.
As soon as Yuzhu finished speaking, the sounds of gasping for air could be heard one after another.
So scary!
The center players of each team all showed expressions of fear.
Suddenly, Uozumi's eyes fell on Kawada Masashi and asked: "Kawada, you seem to have grown taller again. How tall are you now?"
"190 centimeters, what's wrong?"
Kawada Masashi looked puzzled.
In just one year, Masashi Kawada grew from 165 centimeters to 190 centimeters, a full 25 centimeters in one year. This also resulted in him possessing the skills of a defender, the scoring ability of a forward, and the dominance of a center. He is known for his all-around.
Of course, the current Kawada Masashi, like the future Duncan, has no desire to play center at all.
"I think you will continue to grow taller next year, and maybe you will become the starting center of Sanwang!"
Masashi Kawada cursed and said: "Asshole, don't curse me!"
When did growing taller become the last thing Masashi Kawada wanted to do?
Masashi Kawada really didn't want to continue to grow taller. He couldn't help but think of the various tragic scenes of Kentaro Sakurai being beaten. The key was that his relationship with Uozumi was not good, and he was afraid of being retaliated against when he faced off against Uozumi.
