Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 247: The Returning King from America!
In October, the sky is high and the sea is wide.

There are several sycamore trees on the campus of Xiangbei High School. In this season, the leaves have turned deep red.When the autumn wind blows, pieces of fallen leaves swirl and fall to the ground, which is indescribably bleak.

"Hey, why is that seat empty? What about Jinguji Budo?"

In the morning, the bell for the first morning class just rang. A young teacher stepped on the bell and walked into the teacher. Looking at the empty seat in the back row of the classroom, the teacher's expression changed slightly, and he asked the students below.

"Teacher, today is the opening of the Autumn National Stadium. Jinguji Budo is a player of the Kanagawa Prefecture team."

A student at the bottom answered the teacher's question. The young teacher who got the information was stunned and turned to look at a corner of the blackboard.

"Is it Golden Day already? I heard that this year's Autumn National Games will be held in Kanagawa Prefecture?"

"So, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can still watch this kid's game!"

The young teacher pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, muttered to himself, and showed a gentle smile.

The Kanagawa County Gymnasium, which had been silent for several months, became full of voices on this day.

Kanagawa Prefecture is the county where the Autumn National Stadium is held this year. For the players of Kana County, this year's competition can be regarded as a home game.

A red and white bus stopped slowly at the entrance of the gymnasium. After the bus stopped, the front door opened. Coach Tian Gang, wearing a suit, slowly got off the bus.

"Hush~~huh~~"

"Hehe, today's weather is really good, this day has finally arrived!"

After getting off the bus, Coach Tian Gang raised his head and took a deep breath, looked at the steps in front of the gymnasium, and whispered excitedly.

"Come down! We're here!" Coach Tian Gang turned his head and shouted towards the bus. His voice also attracted some pedestrians.

"Hey, is that coach Tian Gang from Lingnan High School? I heard that this year's Kanagawa County team is led by him."

"Oh? Really? So, the man on the bus."

People who will appear in the county gymnasium on this day are basically basketball fans, or players and coaches from other counties and cities.Coach Tian Gang also gained some fame after leading Lingnan High School to win the IH National Championship. At this time, Coach Tian Gang standing in front of the bus was easily recognized by others.

"Squeak."

Under the gaze of the crowd, the bus parked on the sidewalk suddenly shook slightly. Not long after, a strong man wearing a red and white sweatshirt slowly got off the bus. He walked behind Coach Tian Gang and looked in the direction of the gymnasium.

"So tall! Is that a player from the Kanagawa Prefecture team?"

"Don't you know that person? The center of Lingnan High School, Jun Uosumi, who is called a monster, I heard that he is more than two meters tall!"

The burly Yuzhu immediately attracted the attention of passers-by around him. After all, with his figure, no matter where he goes, he is definitely a presence that attracts attention.

Coach Tian Gang saw that Yuzhu got out of the car but did not see other people, and his expression was a little impatient.

"Where are the others? Why don't you come down?" Coach Tian Gang raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and asked in a deep voice.But as soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from the bus, Mu Shenichi, Maekawa Daiki, Daimasa Shifuku, and Shenzong Ichiro got off the bus one after another.

"Hey, who are those people? Are they also members of the Kanagawa prefectural team? What a face!"

"I don't know him, maybe a local player from Kanagawa Prefecture."

"Ohhhh, that, that, Xiandao from Lingnan High School! I saw him on the IH court!"

Just as passers-by were commenting on the few people who had just got off the bus, Xian Daozhang got off the bus, and his appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.Coach Tian Gang seemed to be enjoying the scene where his players greeted the people around him in amazement. He stood silently aside and gave the so-called C position to Xiandao who got off the car.

However, Xiandao was obviously still out of the situation. He just got out of the car with a sleepy face, as if he had just woken up.He also didn't care about the attention and comments of the people around him. After getting out of the car, he walked silently behind Yuzhu, leaning his head on Yuzhu's back, yawning, and using Yuzhu as a wall.

Coach Tian Gang's face darkened when he saw this scene, he rushed to Xiandao's side in a few steps, reached out and grabbed Xiandao's ear, and shouted:

"Asshole! Cheer me up!"

"We'll have our game later, how are you going to play the game?! Ah?!"

The enraged coach Tian Gang grabbed Xiandao's ear and yelled in Xiandao's ear. The voice made Xiandao wake up a lot in an instant.

"Don't be angry, coach, don't look at Xiandao's current state, on the court, he won't lose the chain."

"calm down."

Just when Coach Tianoka was about to teach him a lesson, Shinomiya Tiano came to Coach Tianoka's side at some point, patted Coach Tianoka's back, and comforted him softly.

"Humph!"

"Xiandao, you don't need to play for today's game! From the way you look, you probably haven't woken up yet. I'll give you time to catch up on sleep!"

Coach Tian Gang looked angry, snorted softly, and said to Xiandao.When Xiandao heard this, he spread his hands indifferently, with a face of indifference, and his appearance also made Coach Tian Gang's anger rise suddenly.

Shinomiya Tianye sensed that something was wrong, and immediately interrupted: "Hey, coach, who is our opponent in the first match today?"

Coach Tian Gang glanced at Shinomiya Tianye when he heard the words, and then gave Xiandao a vicious look before replying:
"Shimane!"

"Where are Mitsui Shou and the others? Why don't you come down, hurry up and line up, the opening ceremony is about to start, hurry up!"

After being interrupted by Shinomiya Tano, Coach Tianoka's anger also subsided a little. He glanced at the players who had already got off the car, and found that they were not all there yet, so he yelled again.

"Come here! Sorry, sorry, change clothes, change clothes~~"

Under the roar of Coach Tianoka, Mitsui Toshicai hurriedly got out of the car, and not long after he got off the car, Akagi Takenori, Miyagi Ryota, Chiba Oishi, Jinguji Budo and other talents landed on the ground. They got out of the car one after another.

Until now, the 15 members of the Kanagawa County team have officially arrived.

"Well! Let's go to the arena."

Coach Tian Gang looked at the people who got out of the car, nodded his head, nodded slightly, waved his hand, and took the lead to step on the stairs in front of the gymnasium.

Behind him, 15 players from the Kanagawa County team, wearing uniform red and white team uniforms, followed closely behind Coach Tian Gang.

The selection of members of the Kanagawa County representative team lasted nearly two months, and today, the selection and training work has all been completed.

All 15 players come from only three local schools in Kanagawa County, namely Lingnan High School, the IH champion, Shohoku High School, the top eight in IH, and Hainan High School, the local powerhouse in Kanagawa County.

There are no outstanding players from other schools in the county, and this is reasonable. After all, in previous years, the players of the Kanagawa County Team were usually from Hainan and Xiangyang.It's just that this year, the pattern of high school basketball in Kanagawa County has changed drastically, and the power is no longer strong, and the upstarts in the county are all ridiculously strong.

Following Coach Tianoka were five players from their Lingnan main school, Jun Uosumi, No. 5, Kenji Fujima, No. 6, Akira Sendo, No. 7 Shinomiya Tano, and No. 8 Hanakata Toru.

The captain of the county team is not a player from Lingnan High School, but Mu Shenyi from Hainan.Mu Shenyi showed overwhelming ability during the training camp. In the position of PG, Mu Shenyi is the strongest in the county. His ability is more trustworthy than Xiandao who tried the PG position for the first time.

Don't let the point guard become the coach on the court, and Mu Shenyi, who has obtained the starting qualification, has naturally become the captain of this county team.

In addition to Mu Shenyi, although Hainan's Shinmune Ichiro and Daimasa Shifu were successfully selected into the 15-man roster, they did not get the corresponding jerseys with numbers.At the same time, Chiba Oishi from Xiangbei High School didn't have a number. Although the three of them were all wearing county team sports uniforms, they didn't have their own jerseys inside.

The jerseys of the county team only have numbers 4~15, a total of 12 jerseys with code numbers, that is to say, when it comes to the competition stage, only these 12 people with jerseys are really eligible to play.As for the three players on the other roster, only when these 12 players are injured and unable to play, can they be replaced.

But normally, it is impossible for such a situation to occur in the Autumn National Sports Competition.

Chiba Oishi participated in the training camp as a PF, but during the training process, Coach Tianoka considered that there are too many inside players this year. Apart from traditional centers Jun Uosumi and Takenori Akagi, power forwards also serve as inside players. There are also Huaxingtou and Takasago Kazuma in the position, as well as Maekawa Daiki from Hainan.

Chiba Oishi, who has a poor height, is naturally compressed, and Shinmune Ichiro, who participated in the training camp as an SG, is not as good as Mitsui Hisashi and Fujima Kenji in the same position.Moreover, the offensive firepower of the county team this year does not need a player of the level of Ichiro Shenzong at all.

The same situation as them is Dazheng Sifu. Although he is a third-year student in Hainan High School, his competitors are Shinomiya Tianye from Lingnan High School and Jinguji Budao from Xiangbei.

These two players belong to the type of strong ball-holding players, and their personal abilities are obviously far superior to ordinary high school students. Competing with these two players, Dazheng Sifu has no chance of winning at all.

Therefore, after becoming an army, Daimasa Shifuku, Shinmune Ichiro, and Chiba Oishi from northern Hunan did not enter the standard rotation lineup.

Takenori Akagi, who was selected, got the No. 14 jersey, Kazuma Takasago, got the No. 15 jersey, Maekawa Daiki, who had a higher pick than Akagi, was No. 13, and Budo Jinguji got the No. 10 jersey , Mitsui Hisashi, is No. 11, and Miyagi Ryota got the No. 12 jersey instead.

The allocation of jerseys depends more on Coach Tian Gang's arrangements and personal preferences. As for whether they will start and whether they have a chance to play, all players who get jerseys have equal opportunities.

At least, that's what Coach Tian Gang said.

Led by coach Tagoka, players from the Kanagawa prefectural team entered the gymnasium.Before they arrived, many players had already come to the venue where the opening ceremony was held.

There are a total of 47 teams participating in the Autumn National Sports, and the competition system is also very tight. Like the IH National Competition, it belongs to the back-to-back competition system.

Kanagawa Prefecture's historical performance in Akino Kunti is mediocre. They did not have a bye in the first round, but had to play against a team from Shimane.

Like the old strong teams, teams from Akita Prefecture, Kyoto, Fukuoka, and Aichi all have byes in the first round, and they will start playing directly from the second round.

Although Kanagawa Prefecture's historical performance in the Aki no Kokiti is mediocre, this year's situation is obviously different from previous years. Lingnan High School, which won the championship strongly in IH, and Shonhoku High School, which entered the top 8 with a strong attitude, are all for audiences across the country. They were very impressed.

And the name of the Kanagawa Twin Stars had already spread throughout the country following the end of the IH competition.

Therefore, when the members of the Kanagawa County team entered the venue, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"The people from Kanagawa Prefecture are here! Sure enough, Shinomiya Tianye from the south of the mausoleum, and Jinguji Budou from the north of the shogunate are all members of the representative team!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. The two stars of Kanagawa County join forces. I really don't know which team can stop them."

"Ah? No way! Either of these two alone is invincible. How could they lose if they teamed up?"

In addition to the representative team players and coaches who will participate in the competition in the future, many local fans from Kanagawa Prefecture also came to watch the ceremony.

For local fans, Shinomiya Tano and Jinguji Budo are undoubtedly the business cards of Kanagawa high school basketball. In their minds, Shinomiya Tano and Jinguji Budo are the two strongest players in the country.

As for who is stronger and who is weaker between these two people, there is no conclusion, because on the court, these two people have not encountered an opponent who can really stop them so far.In the Kanagawa Derby during the IH period at that time, the two also belonged to the kind of mutual explosion situation.

"The Kanagawa county representative team is here. At a glance, there are many familiar faces!"

"Lingnan High School, Xiangbei High School, there are a few faces, but not many."

"Our biggest opponent in Akita this year should be those people from Kanagawa Prefecture!"

In a corner of the venue, the players of the Akita Prefecture team who had arrived at the venue early turned their attention to the Kanagawa prefecture who had just entered the field.Speaking of the Akita County representative team, it is also very interesting. The members of the representative teams of other counties are all drawn from various schools in the prefecture. Only in Akita County, the players of the entire team are all from Sanno Industries.

Different from the chaotic high school basketball in other counties, Akita County has always had one and only one overlord, that is Sanno Industry. All talented players in the county are recruited by Sanno Industry. Therefore, when other counties are allied forces, Only they formed an army alone.

"Kanagawa Twin Stars? This time, I will never lose to anyone!"

Zebei Eiji looked at the members of the Kanagawa County team from a distance, clenched his fists, and thought to himself.

Standing in front of the team, Domoto Goro seemed to have sensed Eiji Sawakita's emotions, and also felt some changes in the atmosphere of the team. He clapped his hands and encouraged him:

"During IH, our Mountain King lost to Lingnan High School."

"This time, the Autumn Kingdom is an opportunity to avenge shame!"

"During the race, let them see the results of your exchanges in the United States this summer."

"Zebei, let's officially ascend to the No.1 throne in the country through this Autumn National System! I believe you can do it!"

While Domoto Goro was speaking, he walked to Zebei Eiji's side, patted Zebei Eiji's shoulder, and looked at the players of the Kanagawa County team from a distance, with a confident smile on his face.

"Hmm! Of course!"
