The journey from volleyball

Chapter 415 The Qualifiers Begin

"Beep~~~"

The passionate electronic whistle echoed on the basketball court, which also represented the official end of the practice game.

Amidst the heavy panting and unbelievable gazes of the Izumi Hall group, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 86:61.

Lost by 25 points.

This has never happened before in any previous match between the two teams.

Then the players from both sides saluted each other, and then Zhengbang's people sent the players from Quan Zhenguan to the parking lot and returned.

On the driving bus, through the reflection of the glass, I saw Zhengbang players returning to the basketball hall behind, still maintaining an orderly queue, and the coach of Quanzhen Hall couldn't help but sighed secretly.

"I really don't know if it's good or bad for ordinary high school students to be born in this era!"

······
······
"Keep training!"

The Zhengbang players who returned to the basketball hall were not happy because they defeated Quan Zhenguan, but immediately threw themselves into new training.

It is now late September, and the Winter Cup qualifiers will start in early November.

Although Zhengbang and Luoshan won the top two in the summer national competition, they do not need to participate in the qualifiers to directly obtain the quota for the winter cup national competition.

But recently, as the qualifiers are approaching, not only did everyone in Zhengbang not relax at all, but they felt more and more pressure on them.

This kind of pressure does not come from the competition, but from the weight of the word 'champion'.

As Izumikan's coach Masaki Kamiya said before, Masamune's ability to beat Izumikan, who is also the "Tokyo Three Kings" by 25 points, today without Akashi Asuka's absence is not just because of strength.

But what the two teams are burdened with today is completely different.

······
In a blink of an eye, the time came to early November.

Seirin High School.

With Kiyoshi Teppei's return, Kagami Taiga also returned from overseas special training. The newly born Jorin basketball team not only made up for the shortcomings of the inside line, but also greatly increased the basic quality of each player during the summer vacation.

"Oh~~ The left hand is basically fine!"

"Ah! Even if I eat with my left hand recently, I don't feel that there is any incongruity."

In front of the gate of Seirin High School, Kagami Taiga spun the basketball with his left hand easily and freely. Seeing this scene, Shinji Koganei suddenly let out a voice of surprise.

Although I was not weak in Vulcan University in the last semester, I played with my rough ball feel and technique most of the time.

Leaving aside the defensive end, the offensive end can be said to be stable except for slam dunks, and the rest of the offensive skills are completely messed up.

The left hand is a big flaw in itself.

But now, after a whole summer vacation and two months of hard training before the start of school, he has obviously made up for this loophole.

"Muyoshi, you've been feeling weird since just now! Did anything good happen today?" Hinata Junpei looked at the smiling Kiyoshi Teppei, and asked in surprise.

"(**) Oh? Is there?" Kiyoshi Teppei had no self-knowledge.

"Well~~ Maybe it's been too long since I played a game, so I'm a little excited now!"

"Please, don't lose the chain today. I will leave Shirorin's basket to you to protect." Hinata Junpei patted his forehead, obviously there was nothing he could do about Kiyoshi Teppei's character, so he could only say helplessly.

"Ah! Leave it to me!~~ヾ(o｀o)!"

Everyone: "..."

Ah this~~ Sure enough, I still feel a little uneasy!
After a while.

Aida Reiko arrived, looked at the crowd and said, "Is everyone here? We are about to leave."

"no problem!"

"Okay, then let's go! Go get back what belongs to us!"

······
at the same time.

Xiude High School.

A larger wood-burning raccoon sculpture was placed in an open schoolbag, and Shintaro Midorima sat on the bench, carefully wrapping his fingers with bandages.

"Hey~ Xiao Zhen, are you ready? The seniors are about to gather!" Takao Kazuari poked his head out of the door and shouted.

"Coming soon!"

······
at the same time.

Tonghuang High School.

"Oh~~ Qingfeng, did you come early today?"

In the locker room of Tonghuang High School, as soon as Jin Jixiang came in, he saw that Qingfeng Dahui had changed his clothes and was waiting inside. This scene made him feel a little surprised.

After all, if according to past habits, if Qingfeng can arrive within 10 minutes after the start of the official game, it will be regarded as very 'punctual'.

"Of course, after all, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, this time I must defeat that guy." Qingfeng grinned, and his eyes showed a cold light like a wild beast hunting.

Shoichi Imayoshi: "..."

"Ahem~~What, Qingfeng. Although it is a good thing to have fighting spirit, I need to remind you that due to the special circumstances this year, Zhengbang, who is the champion of the summer national competition, does not need to participate in the preliminary round. If you want to meet If you go to Zhengbang, at least you have to wait until the official competition."

Qingfeng Dahui's cold eyes froze for a moment, and then he turned around stiffly like a robot, and said with wide eyes: "Huh???"

······
The specifications of the Winter Cup qualifiers are much smaller than those of the Summer National Competition.

But this does not mean that the difficulty of competition has dropped.

Because the rules of the Winter Cup Tokyo Regional Qualifiers are to select two teams from the top eight teams in the summer national competition qualifiers last semester.

The rules for qualifiers in other regions are also similar.

Although the process has been shortened, even the teams participating in the qualifiers are basically teams that have achieved results in the summer.

There are only two rounds in the entire Tokyo area qualifiers.

The first knockout round.

Eight into four.

Round [-] round.

Four into two.

Because it is held on weekends, the entire qualifiers will last about two weeks.

······
The teams that can break into the top eight of the Tokyo qualifiers are naturally not weak teams.

So the first round of the knockout round has just begun, and the audience has already felt an unusually pungent smell of gunpowder...

The first battle between the two sides is the battle between Tonghuang and Quan Zhenguan.

"By the way, I heard that at the beginning of this semester, you had a practice match with Zhengbang?" Before the start of the match, Shoichi Imayoshi suddenly asked with a smile.

"So what's the matter?" Quan Zhenguan's point guard is a rare violent temper, but he is not usually so violent.But for some reason, just seeing Imayoshi Shoichi's appearance, he felt an inexplicable flame rising in his heart.

It was as if the instinct of the body was reminding him: 'This squinting eye does not look like a good person! '

"It's nothing, but I'm curious, in your eyes, is it us or Zhengbang who is stronger?"

"Huh? It's none of my business?"
