Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 121 In front of Xiangbei, how can there be an unusual team?

Xiangbei High School can be regarded as the dark horse of this year's county competition. Although the last Xiangbei was also a team that entered the top eight, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a world of difference between this year's Xiangbei High School and last year's Xiangbei High School.

Xiangbei High School was really excellent last year, but last year in Xiangbei, there was no way to shake the status of Xiangyang High School and Hainan University Affiliated High School.

But this year, Xiangbei's combat power has expanded rapidly, and it is reasonable to say that Xiangbei is a dark horse.

"It's really lively. In previous years, except for the finals, there were so many people watching, but there were not so many spectators at other times."

"The match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang really attracted a lot of people."

At the entrance of the corridor, Coach Tian Gang led everyone from Lingnan High School to the venue. Looking at the crowds of spectators sitting on the stands, Coach Tian Gang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Then Coach Tian Gang seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Xiandao and Shinomiya Tianye in the team, and continued with a smile:
"Having such an eye-catching team in Xiangbei is really a good thing for us in Lingnan!"

"Today's game against Buri, you two hide yourself well, so that others can see it."

"Especially you, Tian Ye, you are the MVP of the middle school era, and you will attract some attention. Before entering the semi-finals, don't let your opponents have the opportunity to study you."

When Coach Tian Gang spoke, the smile on his face gradually distorted, giving off a sinister and cunning feeling.After the words fell, Coach Tian Gang quickly found their viewing area in Lingnan, and then led the team members towards the front of the stands.

Akira Sendo and Shinomiya Tano, who were named, looked at each other, then nodded silently, and followed the pace of Coach Tianoka.

In the Xiangbei lounge, the Xiangbei players also arrived at the venue early, even Jinguji Budo, who always likes to step on the spot, arrived early, and had already changed his jersey and sneakers, sitting quietly on the bench Eyes repose.

The lounge seemed very quiet. Even if some team members spoke, they kept their voices down and communicated softly.Mitsui Shou stood in front of his wardrobe, silently adjusting his wrist and knee pads, with a serious expression.

Akagi Takenori sat on a bench not far from Budo, silently adjusting his shoelaces.Chiba Oishi stood by the window, leaned half of his body against the wall, and stared out of the window.

An oppressive atmosphere enveloped the locker room.

Xiangyang High School, they were the ones who blocked Xiangbei's road to the whole country last year.Facing Xiangyang again this year, veteran players such as Hisashi Mitsui, Akagi, and Chiba Oishi all acted unusually serious.

Facing Xiangyang High School again, they all bear inexplicable pressure.

Influenced by the old players, the emotions of the first year were also carried over, and the entire locker room seemed quite silent.

"Crack."

The door lock of the dressing room was twisted, and there was a soft sound, which was especially loud in the quiet dressing room at this time.All the team members looked towards the door in unison.Under the gaze of everyone, Coach Anxi walked in from the door with Caizi.

Coach Anxi, who walked into the locker room, seemed to feel the oppressive atmosphere lingering over everyone's heads at this time, pushed his glasses, and glanced over everyone one by one.

"Hi, Coach!" Hisashi Mitsui took the lead to greet Coach Anxi, and all the team members responded sparsely.

Seeing this scene, Coach Anxi frowned slightly, then quickly stretched it out, with a gentle smile on his face, and a characteristic laugh:

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"are you ready?"

Coach Anxi didn't want to put more pressure on the players, so his tone was quite soft when he spoke.

"Of course I'm ready, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Mitsui Shoushige nodded his head and replied, but although Mitsui Hisashi replied loudly, the solemnity on his face did not weaken much.In the locker room, except for Hisashi Mitsui, none of the other team members responded to Coach Anxi's question. Obviously, facing Xiangyang High School, the morale of everyone in Xiangbei was not high.
Seeing Mitsui's appearance like this, Coach Anzai pushed his glasses and looked at Jinguji Budo.At this time, if anyone in the locker room was calm, it was Jinguji Budao alone.

After Coach Anxi entered the door, Bu Dao also greeted him, then silently took out the teacup from the bag, and took a sip of tea.Wu Dao actually noticed the low morale of his teammates, but he didn't think it was a big problem.Morale is something that comes up naturally after scoring a few goals on the pitch.

Therefore, Wu Daoming knew that the state of his teammates was not normal, so he didn't give a sound to remind or encourage him.

But coach Anxi obviously doesn't think so. He is a person who pays great attention to the morale before the game.

"Budao, I plan to let you play the whole game in this match."

"Is your physical strength able to support it?"

Coach Anxi turned the topic to Wu Dao, with a gentle tone, as if a family member was pulling homework.

"Play the whole game? Of course it can last!" Wu Dao replied with a smile without the slightest hesitation.

"Budao, you will play small forward in this game and be the main attacker of the team."

"The highest scoring record in county competition history is 57 points, Wu Dao, I want you to break this record in this competition."

"Can it be done!?"

Coach Anxi raised his head slightly, and the reflection on the lens disappeared with Coach Anxi's raising his head, revealing Coach Anxi's bright eyes.Coach Anxi looked at Budao with piercing eyes, waiting for Budao's answer.

Listening to Coach Anxi's question, all the players in Xiangbei looked at Budao in unison.They are still worried that Xiangbei will be able to beat Xiangyang High School in this game against Xiangyang, but Coach Anxi seems to have never doubted that Xiangbei can beat Xiangyang, not only that, Coach Anxi intends to use Xiangyang as a The stepping stone for the rise of martial arts!
Although Budao's performance in the previous competitions was already excellent, at most it was just letting people know that there is such a number one person as Budao.

But if Budo can break the scoring record in the county competition in the match against Xiangyang, then Budo will instantly become the real focus of the county.

Xiangyang High School is a strong team at the national level. Being able to score more than 57 points on this kind of team is not comparable to the previous small games.

"Record?"

"Hey, try it out!"

Wu Dao didn't agree arrogantly, he just said to try it.But even if Wu Dao just said to give it a try, it still made all the first graders in Xiangbei gasp, and many people in the second and third grades looked at Wu Dao with astonishment.

Facing a strong national team like Xiangyang breaking the conference record, let alone trying, they dare not even think about it!
Coach Anxi nodded after listening to Wu Dao's answer, but didn't say anything else.His goal has actually been achieved. After a brief exchange with the players, Coach Anxi left the locker room.

Sometimes it is a very simple thing to boost the morale of the team, because there is a deep connection between players.

After Coach Anzai left, Hisashi Mitsui stood up from his seat at once, the serious look on his face was completely gone, and there was only strong jealousy and unwillingness towards martial arts.

Mitsui Shou sat down beside Bu Dao, and yelled full of resentment: "Why did Coach Anzai let you be the main attacker~"

"Obviously I can do it."

Facing Mitsui Shou's complaints, Budao smiled, and said casually: "Probably because you are already famous enough, and I am not famous yet."

Mitsui Shou was originally full of resentment, but when he heard Bu Dao's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he even asked cheekily:
"Hey, really?!"

Bu Dao glanced at Mitsui Shou speechlessly, but did not speak.At this time, Miyagi Ryota also came to Budao's side, and he swore a promise: "Budao, as long as you need it, I will send the ball to you as soon as possible!"

"When the time comes, don't waste my pass!"

Miyagi Ryota is very supportive of Budo, and his words also attracted the echo of the team members, who promised that if Budo needs it, they will give the ball to Budo.

For a while, the quiet locker room became a lot more lively, and the depression and nervousness of the players were greatly relieved.

As time goes by, the time to kick off is getting closer and closer.

The impatient spectators who had been waiting in the stands for a long time finally reached the two sides of the stadium, where the doors of the locker rooms were closed, and there was the sound of unlocking the locks.

The noisy arena gradually quieted down, and the audience looked at the player tunnels on both sides, their faces full of anticipation.

"Xiangyang! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Xiangyang! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the team channel on one side, players from Xiangyang High School wearing green and white jerseys began to enter the field. In the front of the Xiangyang team was Kenji Fujima wearing the No. 4 jersey.When the vine really appeared, Xiangyang's cheerleaders were instantly detonated. For a moment, the loud sound of big plastic bottles hitting each other filled the entire basketball hall.

"Look, that's Fujima from Xiangyang High School."

"I became Xiangyang's main candidate in the first grade, and now I am the captain of Xiangyang in the second year of high school!"

As Kenji Fujima led the team into the stadium, coach Tian Gang in the stands also became active, pointing to Xiangyang's No. 4 team members and introduced.

"Xiangyang's cheerleading team is really busy~ Coach, why isn't our Lingnan cheerleading team so sharp?"

Xiandao is sitting next to Coach Tianoka. At this time, he is not interested in the Fujima Kenji that Coach Tianoka is talking about, but is full of interest in Xiangyang's cheerleading team.

"."

"You bastard, why is your focus so strange! Look at the players, what cheerleaders?"

"Most of Xiangyang's cheerleaders are actually members of the basketball team, but those who were not selected did not become the members of the regular selection."

Coach Tian Gang scolded Xiandao angrily, but he still gave Xiandao a brief introduction to the cheerleaders on the opposite stand, which was covered with greenery, knocking on plastic bottles and cheering for Xiangyang.

"what?!"

Xiandao was just asking casually, but he was also surprised when he knew the origin of the Xiangyang cheerleading team.

You know, there are at least hundreds of Xiangyang cheerleaders on the opposite stand at this time, and boys account for more than half.If most of these people are Xiangyang's undrafted players, how strong should Xiangyang's players be?
A large base of students will definitely be able to feed back the team. With so many reserve players, the strength of Xiangyang's team will be quite terrifying.

At least, in their Lingnan High School, except for the dozen or so players who have jerseys, there are not many players left.

Suddenly, the sound of the Xiangyang cheerleaders knocking on the bottle stopped suddenly, as if someone had suddenly choked their throats.And the spectators above the stands burst into cheers suddenly. These spectators were not students from any school, but ordinary celebrities who came to watch the game. At this moment, they burst into cheers in unison.

Everyone in Lingnan followed the eyes of the audience, and happened to see a group of players from Xiangbei High School walking out of the passage under the leadership of Mitsui Shou.

Although Jinguji Budao was at the end of the team, he attracted the most attention.

"Number 15 in Xiangbei, Jinguji Budo has come out!"

"Xiangbei is here, Xiangbei!!!"

"Mitsui Shou! Mitsui Shou! Mitsui Shou!"

Disorderly cheers and cheers poured into the arena.Mitsui Shou heard someone calling his name, raised his arms and waved to the audience around him.This guy immediately adapted to the atmosphere of the stadium.

"It's amazing, we in Xiangbei actually have so many supporters."

"The cheers are so enthusiastic!" Several first-year team members were a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the audience, and looked at the surrounding stands with emotion, and their actions became a little stiff.

The team members of the second and third grades were not much better. Except for Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Oishi who were able to adapt, Akagi Takenori and others became a little nervous when they saw this scene.

As for Jinguji Budo, after arriving at the rest area, he took out his earwax, flicked his nails, and blew.

For him, it was a small scene. When he made a mistake and was chased by fans, the scene was much more lively than this.

After the players of the two teams entered the arena, the cheers of the audience gradually subsided.

Coach Anxi stood up, shook hands with Fang Xiangyang's coach, and then returned to the Xiangbei area.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Today's game can be played as usual."

"Starting players, Chiba Oishi, Miyagi Ryota, Jinguji Budo, Kakuda Satoru, Yasuda Yasuharu."

"You five, go on stage first."

After Coach Anzai returned to his home area, he directly designated the starters. Hisashi Mitsui heard that neither he nor Takenori Akagi was listed as the starters, so he became anxious. He walked up to Coach Anzai and hurriedly asked, "Coach, Xiangyang It’s not an ordinary team, so this kind of arrangement really doesn’t matter?”

"Not an ordinary team?"

"In front of our Xiangbei High School, what kind of unusual team is Xiangyang Neng?"

Coach Anxi replied lightly, his words made Mitsui Shou freeze in place.He never thought that he would hear such crazy words from Coach Anxi.

Coach Anxi's confidence in the team infected everyone.

Hisashi Mitsui came back to his senses, looked at Satoru Kakuda and Yasuharu Yasuda, and couldn't help laughing.

Yes, in front of Xiangbei, how can there be any unusual team?

Coach Anxi's goal is obviously not as simple as defeating Xiangyang.His match with Xiangyang is very important to Mitsui, but in the eyes of coach Anxi, it is just a game, and Xiangyang is just a pedal.

After the quick whistle, the players of the two teams began to enter the court to warm up.

Due to the influence of coach Anxi, the Xiangbei players didn't pay much attention to the Xiangyang players during the warm-up, and they all warmed up by themselves.The performance of Xiangbei players, in the eyes of Xiangyang players, is a performance full of confidence.All of a sudden, Xiangyang's team members felt tremendous pressure.

After all, they have watched a lot of Xiangbei's previous games. Although the opponents are not very strong, they still have to recognize Xiangbei's strength.

During the warm-up period, neither team performed anything out of the ordinary, but the audience could feel the sense of oppression exuded by the two teams.

As the referee blew his whistle, the warm-up officially came to an end, and the two teams returned to their ranks.

In the stands, Hainan's Gaotou coach and team members sat on stools, waving their folding fans, pointed to Mitsui Shou from Xiangbei, and said to Mu Shenyi beside him: "Ah Mu, Mitsui Shou from Xiangbei and Fuji from Xiangyang Really, they are opponents that should not be underestimated."

"No matter which one of them wins, they will come to challenge us in Hainan."

"You have to take a good look at the strength of these two people and deal with them well."

"The high probability is that Xiangyang will win."

As soon as Mu Shen looked in the direction pointed by the tall coach, he nodded.

They in Hainan, the information is a bit out of touch. Today is their first match in this county competition in Hainan. It is also the first time for them to come to this venue this year. Their understanding of Xiangbei High School is still in the past.
