June 3, Kanagawa Center Gymnasium!
Today is also the day when the summer national competition meets.
When it was almost nine o'clock, the Lingnan team finally entered the stage.
At this time, all the other teams had entered the stadium and lined up on the field.
As the champions of last summer's national competition, the Lingnan team was naturally the winner.
Hua Hua Hua~
As the Lingnan team entered the stadium, the cheers in the stadium obviously increased. Many players couldn't help but cover their ears. The loudness was a bit exaggerated. This shows the popularity of the Lingnan team in Kanagawa.
In less than three years, the Lingnan team has won the county championship for three consecutive years. Last year, it won the national double championship. The team also has popular players such as Uozumi, Sendō, and Naito.
The most important thing is that this is Kanagawa Prefecture, and the Lingnan team has an absolute home field advantage.
As usual, Shimamura Yoko, the team manager, stood at the front with a sign, followed by Uozumi, Ikegami and other players.
As for Coach Taoka, he stood at the back and walked towards the pot-bellied Coach Anzai.
Coach Anzai is also surrounded by coaches Domoto and Kitano.
As soon as he saw Coach Anzai, Coach Taoka quickly asked with concern: "Coach Anxi, how is your recovery going?"
"Oh haha, much better! Coach Tian Gang, you are too polite!"
Coach Anxi let out his trademark hearty laugh. He recognized the etiquette of this 'junior', but he was too strict.
There is no way, who makes him the "serious" Taoka Shigeichi.
Soon, Coach Tianoka started chatting and chatting with several coaches.
While the coaches were having friendly discussions, the players were not idle either.
"That guy is so tall! I didn't expect Sanno to have such a tall player!"
"I feel about the same height as Captain Uozumi!"
…
For the first time, most of the Lingnan players' eyes fell on the mountain king queue, and their eyes were mainly focused on a giant.
He is of course Kawada Masashi's younger brother - Kawada Mikio!
Uozumi was also looking at Mikio Kawada, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Compared with the original work, Ogawada is obviously leaner and no longer as chubby as the original work.
Although the tonnage has dropped, his athletic ability must have improved to a higher level.
In addition, his eyes are no longer timid, and he seems to be more confident.
Xiaohetian gave him a feeling of being reborn, and he didn't know what he had experienced.
When Uozumi looked at Ogada, Ogada was also looking at him.
"He is exactly what my brother calls Uozumi Jun. He is really tall and strong!"
Xiaohetian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and his whole body suddenly became nervous.
Although he accepted Xiaozao from coach Domoto a year in advance, human nature is difficult to change, and Ogawada is no exception.
The key is that Yuzumi looks fierce and his body shape is too exaggerated.
In terms of height and weight, Uozumi and Ogawada think they are not much different, but in fact they are quite different. Uozumi has muscles all over his body, while Ogawada has no muscle outline, giving people the feeling of killing a chicken in vain.
This is completely the feeling of déjà vu between a macho man and an otaku!
Pa~
Suddenly, a heavy slap hit Xiaohetian's shoulder, but it was Dahada.
"Brother, you are no longer what you used to be. You must give me a voice!"
"I'm sorry, brother!"
Ogata apologized subconsciously.
Ogata felt helpless as Ogata apologized at every turn.
"You didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize at every turn! In short, if you encounter that guy in the future, you must try your best to stop him. Do you understand?"
"Um!"
Xiaohetian nodded vigorously. In the past year, he had heard so many similar words that his ears were almost calloused.
"With your words, I feel relieved!"
Okawada showed a ferocious smile. In fact, he had no confidence in his brother at all.
However, as long as he doesn't have to face Uozumi himself.
As the saying goes, if the younger brother dies, the elder brother will die!
While the two brothers were talking, Zebei Eiji was also staring at Yuzumi closely.
"Uozumi, I must win the title of the top high school student in the country before you graduate!"
Zebei clenched his hands and spoke firmly.
"Zebei, everyone can tell lies. In the end, it's up to your subordinates to see the truth. However, your opponent is not weak. Maybe we won't have a chance to meet."
When Uozumi spoke, he raised the "Basketball Weekly" in his hand.
As before, "Basketball Weekly" has evaluations of each team and the national competition grouping situation.
】
Since Lingnan team won the championship last year, Lingnan team automatically became the first seeded team in the group this year.
The other three seeded teams in the group are Sanno Industries in the second group, Hakata Shang University affiliated in the third group and Shoyo team in the fourth group.
Like last year, the Xiangbei team, which reached the national level again this year, was once again placed in the second group.
If nothing else goes wrong, they will face Sanno Industries again.
The difference is that this year's Xiangbei team is very strong!
According to the group situation, if Shanwang wants to face Lingnan, he must do so in the finals.
In other words, the Mountain King must not only defeat Xiangbei, but also Xiangyang.
"Humph, you are talking about the Xiangbei team. They are just defeated. Last year, Xiangbei was no match for our Sanno, let alone this year. As for the Xiangyang team, I firmly believe that they will not be our opponent for the Sanno either."
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Yuzhu shook his head. To be honest, he really wanted to see Zebei being slapped in the face in public. It would definitely be exciting.
To take a step back, even if Sanno can defeat Xiangbei and Xiangyang, he may only have half his life left. After all, the national competition is a one-day event.
By the way, Hainan High School Affiliated is placed in the third group, and their main opponent is naturally Hakata Shang University Affiliated.
This is also reasonable. The organizing committee will not place teams from the same region in the same group.
Theoretically, if Shohoku and Hainan Affiliated High School can defeat Sanno and Hakata, then the Kanagawa top four will sweep the top four in the country.
How great is this!
However, the degree of difficulty is a bit high.
The match between Shohoku and Sanno was okay, there was not much difference in strength between the two sides, and Uozumi thought the two were evenly matched.
But Hainan Affiliated High School and Bodo Shang University Affiliated are different. In terms of lineup, Hainan Affiliated High School may be better than Bodo, but the latter is synonymous with high school team basketball across the country.
The most important thing is that Hainan High School has not participated in the national competition for more than two years.
This means that in the national competition, these Hainan players, including Amu, are all newcomers, and they may not be the experienced Bodo opponents.
However, Hainan Affiliated High School still has a chance, mainly because they have the advantage of grouping.
Because Daiei Academy is also in the third group, and according to the grouping situation, Daiei Academy will encounter the Hakata Shougang University affiliated first.
In addition to Changcheng High School, Aichi Academy is in the first group, while Changcheng High School is in the fourth group.
