Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 177 The third game day!
In the stadium, as the game progressed, the situation became more and more clear. Under the leadership of Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi and Chiba were well mobilized in Xiangbei, and the effect of the internal and external connections was very good.

On the other hand, Chang Cheng, the opponent's outside offensive point was directly strangled by Jinguji Budao. Under such circumstances, Chang Cheng could only rely on the performance of the inside players.But although Miko Chai is said to be their trump card of Changcheng, his strength is only on par with Akagi Takenori.

The matchup between the two did not have much advantage, and the scoring efficiency was not as easy as coach Chang Cheng thought.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School had already led Chang Cheng by nearly [-] points.

After the intermission, Chang Cheng adjusted his offensive formation, and the outside ball was concentrated on Chang Cheng's No. 8. This No. 8 was defended by Miyagi Ryota.

The opponent seemed to think that Miyagi's height would be a loophole in Xiangbei's defense, so they planned to break through this point.

In the beginning, the opponent did score two goals, but later, Miyagi seemed to adapt to the opponent's style of play. Relying on his agility and rich experience, he staged a wave of classic steals.

After a few times, Chang Cheng returned to the style of playing hard on the inside, and such a style of play would only be a slow death in front of Xiangbei.

Halfway through the second half, the point difference between the two teams reached 30 points. At this time, coach Anzai replaced Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Oishi, and replaced them with Kigure Konobu and Kakuda Satoru.

After the substitution, Xiangbei High School's defensive strength and offensive strength immediately lacked a lot.However, Wu Dao on the field did not take over the offensive task, but just took over the possession of the ball in the frontcourt.

However, he mostly passes the ball to Akagi and Kigure Gongyan, allowing them to attack independently.

Mumu Gongyan has been practicing shooting for a while, and this game also gave him a chance to actually fight.Although his shooting accuracy is far inferior to Mitsui Shou and Jinguji Budo, but in this game, it is enough.

With the cooperation of him and Akagi Takenori, although the point difference between Xiangbei and Changcheng is narrowing a little bit, the speed of narrowing is very slow.Until the end of the game, Chang Cheng still failed to seize the opportunity of Xiangbei's substitution and overtake the score.

In the end, Xiangbei High School defeated Changcheng High School 84:66 and won the first victory in the national competition.

The Xiangbei players who won the game were all very excited, but the audience on the field was a little disappointed.On the first day of the national competition day, many of the spectators who watched the game were teams from all over the country participating in the competition. Before the game, they all got to know all the opponents.

As for Jinguji Budo, as one of the five AA-level players selected by Basketball Magazine, and the first person to appear on the court in this highest-rated series, he naturally attracted the attention of many people.

It's just that Jinguji Budo didn't perform well in this game in Xiangbei. Although Xiangbei won the game, the performance of Jinguji Budo disappointed these people.

"The strength gap between Changcheng High School and Xiangbei is not small. In addition to defending, that Jinguji Martial Arts is passing the ball, and there is no depth at all."

In the stands, the members of Aihe Academy couldn't help saying disappointedly when they saw that the game was over and the two teams began to pack their things in the rest area.

"It's okay. I've already found a friend from Kanagawa. He can help us get the video of Xiangbei's game in the county. We can watch it tonight."

Aihe's coach Ming Shancun Zheng said that although he said so, as a coach, he was actually a little disappointed. The video tape is a video tape after all, and it is far from the intuitive shock of watching the game live.

Jinguji Budo's style of play, if your team members just watch the video tape, they will not feel the strength and terror of the opponent at all.On the contrary, it was the Lingnan High School that played against Xiangbei in the county competition. There was a player in their team who could feel the strength of the opponent even if he was not watching the game.

Soon, Xiangbei, who had finished the game, began to leave the field.In today's game, the physical exertion of everyone in Xiangbei is actually not bad.Mitsui Hisashi and Chiba Oishi only played for 10 minutes, and the intensity was average, it was not much different from playing a training match.Although Jinguji Budao and Miyagi fought the whole field, they were still paddling.

Although Wu Dao recognized a little while defending, but to that extent, it was just a warm-up at best.

Kigure Gongyan and Kakuda only came off the bench for 10 minutes in the second half, and there was not much consumption.

Although Takenori Akagi wrestled with Mikoshiba for the entire match, Akagi, who helped the team win their first victory, is in a very good mental state and doesn't feel any fatigue at all.

Coach Anxi saw that the players were in good condition, so he was not in a hurry to take the players back to rest. Instead, he walked along the corridor, led the players to the stands, and watched the upcoming game.

There are a total of 59 teams participating in the national competition this year. Among them, Sanno from Akita Prefecture, Aiwa from Aichi Prefecture, Luoan from Kyoto, Hakata Business University from Fukuoka, and Lingnan from Kanagawa. The first round of the five teams is bye.

Therefore, there are a total of 27 games in the first round. Today alone, there will be 13 games in this return field, starting at 7.40 in the morning and continuing until the evening.

On the second day, it was the remaining 14 games of the first round.

On the third match day, the second round of the national competition will be played. There are 16 games in total in the second round. It is also divided into two match days, with 8 games a day.

After the second round, there are only 16 teams left, and all subsequent games will be truly back-to-back.

Such a compact competition system is a test of the will and physical fitness of the players, and often the order of drawing lots will determine to a certain extent whether the team will go far in this arena.

Xiangbei High School's lottery is not bad, at least, after today's game, tomorrow will be a rest day, and then the game with Fengyu High School.

There were no strong seeded teams participating in the competition the day before, and the five AA-level players selected by the magazine were also scattered among the five teams of Xiangbei, Lingnan, Shanwang, Aihe and Luoan.

The previous day's game can also be called the rookie pecking.

The people in Xiangbei just worked on the stands for less than an hour, and the enthusiasm of the team members to watch the game was gone. Wu Dao had already lost interest, and kept shouting hache.

Coach Anxi also noticed the state of the players after watching one and a half games, and led the players out of the arena early.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Coach Anxi led the players to watch today's game. The strength of the teams participating in the first round of the game was indeed very average. After watching two games, Budao took a leave of absence with Coach Anxi to take care of himself. He returned to the hotel and started exercising.He has daily tasks~
Not long after Budo returned to the hotel, Miyagi also returned to the hotel. When he went to the room, he didn't see Budo, so he went to the hotel's gym and found Jinguji Budo who was running.

"Budao, tomorrow is the match against Fengyu, do you still practice today?"

"Since I know you, it seems that I haven't seen you stop for a day."

Miyagi Ryota came to the gym, found a stool not far from Budo, and sat down.

"I'm used to it, I feel my body is stiff if I don't run."

"Why are you back? Where are the others? Don't you even watch it?"

Bu Dao slowed down the speed of the treadmill and asked casually.

"No, they are still watching. I can't stand it, so I came back first."

"To be honest, before the competition, I really had great expectations for the participating teams in the national competition, but the two-day competition really opened my eyes."

"It turns out that even in the national competition, there are also paddling teams."

"There are many teams, none of which are as strong as Xiangyang. How did they break into the country?"

Miyagi Ryota spread his hands flat on the back of the chair, his tone full of disappointment.

"This is only the first round, and it's normal for the team to be poor. And you've only watched a few games? You just haven't seen the games of the strong teams."

"And not all regions are Kanagawa. Although Xiangyang lost to us, their strength can rank among the top 16 in the whole country."

"Of course, that was Xiangyang before, but now."

While jogging, Budo talked to Miyagi.

"Our next opponent is Fengyu High School. I heard that this high school is very good. It is good at running and bombing tactics. The best result is the top 8."

"How are we going to fight tomorrow? Are you still not involved in the offense?"

Miyagi Ryota thought for a while, and felt that what Budo said was right. Thinking that there was a strong team among the participating teams in the national competition, he immediately thought of Xiangbei's next opponent, Toyotama High School.

"Fengyu's ability is not bad. The run-and-bomb strategy may be a bit troublesome for other teams, but it is not so easy for us."

"After all, our speed in Xiangbei is not slow."

"Tomorrow's main attack will be handed over to Xiaosan and Akagi. I will still be in charge of defense. They just won a game. It is the time when their fighting spirit is high. Let them play well again."

"Fengyu's inside line is only 190cm tall, so he can focus on the inside line tomorrow."

"As for defense, I will mark their trump card, Nan Lie."

"Tomorrow's game, we can easily win."

As Budo said, he slightly increased the speed of the treadmill.Miyagi could feel Budou's confidence from Budou's tone, and nodded without saying anything.Sitting in the gym and watching Budo exercising is a little boring, Miyagi also opened a treadmill beside Budo, planning to move his body.

In the venue at this time, a match between Toyotama High School and Umezawa High School in Saitama Prefecture is going on.

Not long after the start of the second half, Fengyu has already opened the point difference to 15 points, and the balance of victory has already tilted towards Fengyu.

"Nan Lie's three-pointer is very accurate! The defense is also very oppressive, it is difficult to deal with!"

As Fengyu's Nan Lie scored again with a quick single-player, Mu Mu in the stands let out a sigh of emotion.

The sophomore Nan Lie is 181cm tall and weighs 72kg. He moves vigorously on the court, is fast, and is also very sharp in three-pointers. Under his leadership, Fengyu has completely brought up the rhythm of the game. Umezawa In high school, it seemed like a look of being overwhelmed.

"It's very similar to my playing style, but if Fengyu is only at this level, we will be sure of tomorrow's game!"

Mitsui Shou looked at Nan Lie who was on the court freely and freely, without any sense of crisis.When the Xiangbei team members heard what Mitsui Shou said, they all glanced at him, but did not refute, and watched the game in silence.

After more than 20 minutes, the game ended, and Feng Yu defeated his opponent 96:74 and won the game.

After the game ended, Coach Anxi also left the arena with everyone.

This opponent did not put a lot of pressure on Xiangbei, not to mention that the players were very relaxed, and Coach Anxi himself was also very relaxed. Of course, the players couldn't tell that Coach Anxi was relaxed.

Day three of the national competition.

It was only seven o'clock, and the Xiangbei team members finished washing early and left the hotel.

Their Xiangbei game today is the first game in the morning. For them, this lottery is quite good.If they can beat Fengyu, it means that Xiangbei will have more time to rest to deal with the next game.

Everyone in Xiangbei arrived at the arena and did not go to the locker room to rest.After communicating with the organizer, Coach Anxi was allowed to take the players into the venue in advance to warm up.The competition system of the national competition is very tight, so the management of the team's warm-up time is relatively loose.

When Xiangbei entered the venue, there were very few spectators in the stands, some, only a small group of fans, and even the participating teams, there were not many spectators.

Just as the Xiangbei players began to warm up, people from Fengyu High School also walked into the stadium along the player tunnel.

It seems that their plan is the same as that of Xiangbei, they plan to come early and start warming up in advance.

The players of the two teams looked at each other from a distance across the field, and then devoted themselves to their warm-up.

"Nan Lie, are you tired from yesterday's game? Do you need to make adjustments to today's rhythm?"

When Fengyu was warming up, a player wearing a blue No. 4 jersey walked up to Nan Lie and asked.Obviously the person wearing No. 4 should be the captain, but he asked Nan Lie about today's style of play.

On the edge of the court, Fengyu's coach sat on the bench in a white suit, his face full of displeasure.

"No, it's fine to maintain the previous offensive method. I'll recover after a night of sleep!"

Nan Lie turned his head and glanced at the coach off the court, and replied calmly.

Fengyu's coach is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is a little fat, but his hair is combed meticulously. It can be seen that he should be a rigorous person.

Fengyu's original coach was coach Kitano during the same period when Anzai coached the national team. However, because Fengyu's high school performance has been stopped in the top eight and did not improve, in the spring of this year, Kitano coach was fired by the school. Today, the 40-something A middle-aged man who is [-] years old is Fengyu's new coach.

However, the new coach has only been in the team for a few months, and his prestige has not yet been established.On the court, the words of the ace Nanlie are much more useful than his words.

Everyone in Fengyu smiled and nodded when they heard Nan Lie's words, and then began to warm up.

As time passed, the seats in the stands began to fill up. There were several heavyweight games in today's game. Sanno Industries will usher in their debut in this year's national competition today.

At the same time, Lingnan, as well as Aihe, have competitions today.

"Hey, it hasn't started yet. Xiangbei's opponent today is Feng Yu, who was rated as A-level. This team is not easy to deal with!"

Cross-country Hongming followed his teammates to the seats and sat down. Seeing that the two teams were still warming up, he blew his whistle and began to joke.

"What's so difficult to deal with? No one in Fengyu can defend against Jinguji Budo. It is very difficult to deal with Mitsui Shou."

"There is no suspense in the match between Xiangbei and Fengyu."

Shinomiya Tianye looked sideways at the court slightly, said lightly, then found a seat and sat down.Beside him, Xiandao and Fujima sat next to him, one on the left and one on the right. The eyes of the three were all on the court.

"Fujima, let you and Hanakata lead the team for today's match against Magong Nishi."

"Let Sugahira, Fukuda, and Uemicao assist you."

After taking his seat, Shinomiya Tianye suddenly said to Fujima beside him that he had arranged for today's game players.Fujima was taken aback when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Coach Tian Gang behind him, with a question in his eyes.

Coach Tian Gang saw Fujima looking at him, shrugged indifferently, and said, "For a team like Ma Gongxi, you just watch and play."

"The match against Shan Wang the day after tomorrow is what we should pay attention to."

"Hey, the day after tomorrow will be the time when our Lingnan will become famous all over the country!"

Coach Tian Gang's eyes were full of enthusiasm when he talked about Shan Wang. He couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips when he said this. The excitement on his face was not concealed at all.

If the coaches of other teams knew that their team was facing the King of the Mountain, they would have already lost their minds and prepared to board the return ticket. However, Coach Tian Gang looked excited and looking forward to it.
