Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 281 Spring begins, the eve of returning to the team!

Time flies, at the end of December, high school students in Japan officially welcome the winter vacation.

When most of the students were immersed in the joy of the holiday, the winter trials and the winter cup officially kicked off.

The winter selection competition is a national competition in which schools participate. In terms of the weight of honor, it is not very different from the summer IH, but the intensity of the competition has dropped compared to the IH. .

Because after IH, most of the third-year players will retire to concentrate on preparing for the exam.Therefore, in terms of competition level, the winter season is not as good as IH, but the cruelty of competition is also higher than IH.

In the entire Kanagawa Prefecture, there is only one team eligible to participate in the national competition.Before the players enter the country, the first thing to do is to stand out from the county competition.

The venue for the prefectural trials in Kanagawa Prefecture is still the prefectural gymnasium.

As the top four team of IH, Xiangbei, who has broken into the top eight in the country, has a bye in the first few rounds of the selection competition and does not need to participate in the competition.

Therefore, a few days before the start of the winter trials, coach Anxi, except for taking the players to attend the opening ceremony on the first day, did not take the players to the stadium to watch the game in the next few days, but let the players stay in their arena. Practice the ball and maintain a competitive state.

It wasn't until 5 days later, when the first few rounds of the game were over and the 8-in-4 game started, that coach Anxi led the players to the stadium.

The county competition of the winter trials is still divided into 4 major groups for the competition. The teams that have achieved semi-final results in IH are scattered among the four major groups as seed players, such as Lingnan, which is in Group A. As for Xiangbei High School, it was in Group B. Before the 8-to-4 match, the four seeded teams could not meet each other.

In the first 8-to-[-] game of Xiangbei High School, they met the old county-level strong team, Miuradai High School. Of course, this strong team is also compared to other teams. In fact, in front of Xiangbei High School, Miuradai High School How much is not enough to see.

The result of the competition did not surprise the audience. Even if Shonhoku High School lost Jinguji Budo, it was still not a team that Miuradai High School could touch.

At the end of the game, Xiangbei defeated the opponent with an overwhelming advantage of 103:67 and advanced to the top 4.

The results of the other competition groups were also within the expected range. Lingnan High School in Group A, Hainan in Group C, and Xiangyang High School in Group D actually stood up a little this winter. Li Middle School overturned the ground and won the last place in the top 4.

However, unlike IH's top four round-robin battle, the winter season is still a knockout system. The four teams in the top four draw lots to determine their opponents, and the winner will advance to the finals.

The lottery of Xiangbei High School was lucky, and they met the soft persimmon among the top four teams, Xiangyang High School.

Today's Xiangyang High School is no longer worthy of being called a powerful. Ever since the two rookies Fujima Kenji and Hanaigata left Lingnan, Xiangyang's strength has been greatly reduced. The spring has not yet started, and Xiangyang High School without fresh blood He can maintain his "powerful" decency when facing a team like Buri.

But against Xiangbei High School, the top eight in the country, it was still almost meaningless.

In the match against Xiangyang, Xiangbei High School played very easily. Today's Xiangyang team is playing the long-man system, but in terms of height, Xiangbei High School actually doesn't need the opponent too much. Mitsui's height is now equal to The existence of nearly 190cm, Chiba Oishi and Akagi Takenori also exceeded 190cm, and Akagi even had 195cm.

Although the back line is a bit short, the three of them are enough to support the inside line of Xiangbei High School.

But Xiangbei High School is best at running and bombing tactics. Xiangyang's long-term system can't keep up with Xiangbei's offensive rhythm. play out.

At the same time, relying on Mitsui Toshina's unsolvable singles that can shoot suddenly, Xiangbei firmly grasped the initiative throughout the game, pressing Xiangyang to play.

It wasn't until this time that the audience in Kanagawa finally came to their senses. It turned out that Mitsui Shou from Shonhoku High School had always been that Mitsui Shou. The focus of the whole game.

In the end, Xiangbei defeated Xiangyang 97:77 and entered the final.With his 46 points in a single game, Mitsui Shou successfully attracted the attention of many college scouts and coaches who came to watch the game.

The competition in Kanagawa is quite attractive. After all, the national overlord of IH, Lingnan High School, is located in Kanagawa Prefecture.

This year's national team youth training, Lingnan High School's Sendo Akira and Shinomiya Tianye both shined in the youth training, which has already attracted the attention of many college coaches and scouts.

Today, in fact, many people came to see these two people from Lingnan High School, and at the same time, they also took a look at another player from the "Kanagawa Twins" by the way.But what is unexpected is that Jinguji Budao did not see it, but found a player like Mitsui Shou, which can be regarded as a surprise.

And it was after today's game that Mitsui Shou was really noticed by the university's basketball coaches and scouts.

Not long after the match between Xiangbei High School and Xiangyang came to an end, the match between Lingnan High School and Hainan followed.

Facing Hainan, Coach Tianoka had no intention of holding back at all, and directly sent Shinomiya Tano and Sendo to attack the duo, and at the same time sent Hanakata, Uozumi, and Fujima Kenji to escort the two.

Lingnan adopted a double-scoring style of play. Under the firepower of Lingnan High School, Hainan gradually couldn't support it and began to show defeat.

In the 13th minute of the first half, Hainan completely collapsed, and the difference between the two teams quickly widened.

By halftime, the difference between the two teams had reached 16 points.

At the beginning of the second half, Shinomiya Tianye fired all his firepower and quickly opened the point difference to 20 points. The game within 10 minutes after that was a torment for Hainan.

In the end, Lingnan High School defeated Hainan with 113:68. This disparity made Coach Tian Gang smile.

As for the tall coach who lost the game, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out.While he was annoyed at the team's lack of strength, he was also annoyed at the fact that Tian Gang, a bastard, did not save face at all. He had clearly established the victory, and still kept Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao on the court.

And these two bastards don't talk about martial arts at all. Their Hainan team members obviously have no resistance. These two guys still look like "working hard" and scoring points like crazy.

This disparity in points made the former overlord of Kanagawa feel ashamed.At the same time, it also made Gaotou coach's idea of ​​strengthening in the coming year more and more firm.

"Just inviting strong freshmen is not enough! We in Hainan also need to recruit strong senior players!"

"Bastard Tian Gang, I will make you pay the price!"

The tall coach broke the folding fan in his hand angrily, and he didn't know why he had to bring a folding fan in winter.
After leaving the stadium, Coach Gaotou seemed to have thought of something, and instead of staying to watch the next game with the players, he hurriedly left the arena after telling Amu a few words.

I took the train to Aichi Prefecture directly.

Some time ago, Coach Gaotou heard from a friend that there was a middle school student with great potential in Aichi Prefecture. Although he hadn’t played for a long time, he had really good physical talent.Originally, the tall head coach still had his own arrogance. Thinking about them in Hainan, where will there be a lack of potential freshmen in the coming year?
But today's game hit him too hard. Coach Gaotou was already on fire. He threw away all his arrogance and restraint. He picked up the hoe and was about to dig people. Hainan High School, complete revenge!

The next day, Xiangbei High School faced the national overlord Lingnan High School in the county gymnasium.

Before the game, none of the audience saw Shonhoku High School that lacked Jinguji Budo. After the game officially started, the trend was just as the audience expected. Shinomiya Tianno and Sendo cooperated with each other. unstoppable.

It would be very troublesome for these two people to meet one. Faced with the combination of the two, Xiangbei has no power to change hands at all.

And Coach Tianoka is also quite aware of the team attributes of Shohoku High School. As soon as he came up, he dispatched Shinomiya Tano to guard Mitsui Hisashi with all his strength, and at the same time asked Xiandao to fill in at any time to help defend, and he could release Kogure Konobu when appropriate.

The defensive strategy of Lingnan High School is quite successful. Shinomiya Tano, who has an excellent single defense ability, has a good impact on Mitsui's outside shooting rate. At the same time, Mitsui Shou has no way to rely on his own ability to break through Shinomiya Dano, even with the help of his teammates. The pick-and-roll cover has completed a breakthrough, and Xiandao will make up for it as soon as possible.

The strongest firepower in Xiangbei was suppressed by Lingnan High School. On the contrary, Mumu Gongyan would get open shots from time to time, and scored a few goals so that Xiangbei would not be misfired.

In this game, Coach Anzai did not consider the inside attack. Relying on the strength of Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi, it is impossible to gain an advantage in the combination of Uozumi and Hanakata.

As the game progressed, Xiangbei High School also showed signs of decline. Faced with the double-teaming of Shinomiya Tianno and Sendo, Mitsui Hisashi did not often complete the ball from between the two.

The movement of basketball is hindered, and the result is naturally self-evident.

At the end of the first half, Xiangbei High School fell behind by 16 points. At the beginning of the second half, although Mitsui Shou broke out, he was quickly pushed down.

In the end, Lingnan High School defeated Shonhoku with a score of 103:74 and won the only national admission ticket in Kanagawa County.

The day Lingnan High School entered the national competition happened to be Christmas.

Jinguji Budo, who is far away across the ocean, is participating in a "Christmas Battle" held by Oak Hill Academy's main school with the team.Their opponents are outstanding graduates from Oak Hill, some have played in the NBA, and some are active in the NCAA.

Although it was a performance competition, the students of Oak Hill College played very seriously.As for the seniors of Oak Hill College, seeing that the juniors were playing seriously, they unconsciously adjusted their mentality and began to deal with these young juniors well.

As a result, of course, there was no suspense. The seniors won the game with 97:81. Although there were some disappointments, the seniors spoke very highly of the juniors.

Especially the yellow guy in the team, who played 31 minutes and scored 33 points in the game. His outside shooting is excellent, and his strength is amazing. It's hard to imagine that such a kid is actually a yellow guy, and he's only a freshman.

After the exhibition game, the United States also began to have a winter vacation, and Budou had no intention of going back, so he applied to stay in school.There is nothing else to do during the holidays. Apart from being invited to play at the homes of teammates, I just stay and play in the school gymnasium.

Some students who have nothing to do during the holidays will also go to the arena during martial arts training. The coach has no opinion on this, and martial arts is also happy to have someone to accompany him, although playing wild ball may not have much effect on the improvement of strength , but Wu Dao is still very happy to play with these students. Compared with the boring training by himself, occasionally playing three-on-three can also be adjusted.

After the holiday, Oak Hill Academy began intensive competitions and training.

Wu Dao also fought with the team in half a year, and many colleges and universities in Indiana and Kentucky have left his presence in the battle.

It's just a pity that the little blacksmith he has been thinking about all the time has no chance to fight against him.

With the increase in Jinguji Budo competitions, his scoring average has stabilized at around 34 per game. At the same time, he has also officially entered the top 100 rankings of high school students in the United States, ranking 27th.

Japan's winter trials officially came to an end in January.

With a strong attitude, Lingnan High School has completed two consecutive championships of IH and WINTER CUP.Shinomiya Tianye has won the MVP of the competition again and again. In the first year of high school, he has already received the favor of countless universities in China, and he sent invitations early.But at this time, Shinomiya Tianye also set his sights on Huanwai.

After negotiating with coach Tian Gang, it was decided that after the end of the third year of high school, he would go to the United States through the recommendation of coach Tian Gang.

And since knowing Sinomiya's thoughts and plans, Coach Tianoka and Sinomiya's family members both made efforts, not only invited professional trainers and nutritionists for Sinomiya, but also caught up with Du The line of the school leadership of Ke University.Promise to give Shinomiya Tianye a chance to try out in the future.

Although it was just a trial training opportunity, it was enough for Shinomiya Tano!
After the end of the winter season, all the teams began to accumulate their strength and prepare for the IH in the summer.

April in Kanagawa is pink and blue.

Cherry blossoms and the sea are the most beautiful scenery of the season.

The breeze blew slightly, bringing down the petals on the tree, the light pink petals fell with the wind, surrounded by bright red hair
"Hahahahaha!"

"Xiangbei! This genius is here!"

On the path in front of the Xiangbei High School campus, Hanamichi Sakuragi put her hands in her pockets and laughed wildly.

The long-awaited enrollment is finally here!Of course, Yingmu Huadao is not looking forward to enrolling because of playing basketball, but...

When I arrived at the Yingmuhuadao at the gate of the Xiangbei campus, I looked around, and sure enough, it was at the gate of the school!When he saw the figure that he was thinking about, he immediately looked happy and shouted:
"Haruko~~~~~"

And Sakuragi's voice instantly attracted the attention of many students around.

When Sakuragi was happily running towards Haruko, a tall figure suddenly walked out from the school gate, stopped in front of Haruko, and stared at Sakuragi.

"Ah ~ gorilla!" Sakuragi couldn't brake in time, and bumped into Akagi's arms.At this moment, Haruko poked her head out from behind Akagi, and asked with concern: "Sakuragi, are you alright?"

"Hahaha……"

"fine."

Sakuragi smiled awkwardly, and was about to say hello and chat with Haruko when Akagi grabbed her by the collar.

"It's just in time, let's go, go and fill out the application for admission to the ministry first."
