Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 375 Imitator!
The match between Xiangbei High School and Sanno Industry finally came to an end.

As strong as Sanno Industry, it still lost 14 points to Xiangbei High School.After the whole game, Shonhoku High School's ace Jinguji Budo scored 43 points alone, but in the eyes of the audience, in the first half of the match between Xiangbei High School and Sanno, Jinguji Budou didn't have much at all. the shot.

But even so, when the statistics came out after the game, Jinguji Budo's score was still the best among other players in the game.

It is worth mentioning that the first-year rookie of Shonhoku High School, Sakuragi Hanamichi scored 13 rebounds and scored 24 points in this game. Facing a strong team like Sanno Industry, the first-year Sakuragi is actually Handed over star-level data.

Compared with him, the statistics of Rukawa Kaede, who fought hard in the first half, were not so impressive. Although the score was in double figures, it was only a dozen or so points.

After the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi proudly showed off to the other players of the same class.

Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango and the others could only be annoyed by Sakuragi's arrogant attitude, but they had to hold their noses in approval for his achievements.

No way, data is too hard.

And the opponent is a super strong school like Sanno Industry, and Sakuragi's opponent is also a national-level player like Masahiro Nobe and Masashi Kawada.In terms of scoring, there may be factors that Sakuragi missed, but the rebounds were grabbed by Sakuragi Hanamichi relying on his strength.

The player with the most rebounds in the game is Hanamichi Sakuragi. In this regard, even Masashi Kawada and Masahiro Nobe cannot compare with Hanamichi Sakuragi.

As for Akagi Takenori, who only played half of the game, his rebounding data was blown up by Sakuragi Hanamichi. Just looking at the data, the two are not at the same level of players.

It is precisely because of Yingmu Huadao's active performance in this competition that other participating teams in the conference also paid attention to this first-year student from Xiangbei.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's level of rebounding strength can completely guide the direction of the game at critical moments, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

After the game between Xiangbei High School and Sanno, the Sanno people entered the player channel under the leadership of Domoto Goro and exited.

Their trip to the national competition has come to an end. The players of Shanwang have missed the championship of the national competition for two consecutive years, which makes these champion players feel particularly uncomfortable.Especially Masashi Kawada and Kazunari Fukatsu in the third grade.

When they were in the first grade, they participated in the national competition with the team, and in that year, they played as substitute players and successfully helped the team win the national championship.

But since they became the starters and became the pillars of Sanwang, the team failed in the national competition for two consecutive years, which made the young Kawata and Kazufukatsu very uncomfortable.

They believed that the glory of the king of the mountain was ruined by their hands. This feeling of self-blame lingered in the minds of the two of them.Huge pressure enveloped the two young players. Finally, after returning to the waiting room of his team, Kazunari Fukatsu finally couldn't hold back, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

His emotional collapse caused a chain effect, and some players with strong self-esteem couldn't help but shed tears.For a while, the rest room was filled with the sobs of the Sanwang players.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Domoto Goro raised his head slightly, trying to control his emotions.

He could feel the sadness in the hearts of these players.For those third-year players, this year's IH is the last IH of their high school career. Sanno Industry, which once had a brilliant record, has actually begun to decline in the past two years.

Even an adult like him can't bear the pressure for a while, let alone these young players.

The old fans of Sanno, the people of Akita Prefecture, they will not understand Sanno’s failure because of how strong Sanno’s opponents are. The year missed the national championship.

They didn't even make it to the finals of the national competition. The decline of the mountain king started with their players!
"You guys still have a chance." Domoto Goro walked to Sawakita Eiji's side, looking at Fukatsu Kazunari and the others who were already in tears, he could only comfort him weakly.

Zebei Eiji heard the words, shook his head with a wry smile, and remained silent.

Xiangbei High School returned to the lounge after the game. After quickly packing up their things, they went down to the stands under the leadership of Coach Anxi.

After the game between Xiangbei High School and Sanno Industry, the games of their other teams in Group A followed.

Kumamoto No. [-], who defeated Hojo's four merchants, successfully qualified, and defeated Yokotama Industry, who successfully qualified for Meito Industry.

The winners of these two teams will be their opponents in the next round of Xiangbei High School.Therefore, the Xiangbei players packed up their things and came to the stands after the game.

They have to observe carefully, the next opponent.

At this time, Budao Jinguji had changed from his wet jersey to a clean white training shirt. After arriving in the stands with his teammates, he sat on a stool and looked into the stadium.

At this time, the players from Kumamoto No. [-] and the players from Meitomo Industry have all entered the field, but the staff of the conference are still cleaning the field, so the players of the two teams are still standing on the sidelines and have not entered the field. Warm up.

The captain of Meito Industry, Kijiro Hirabayashi, stood on the sidelines, dribbling the ball casually, and started the warm-up activities early.

He didn't pay attention to the opponents at the other end of the court at this time, but looked around the stands, as if he was looking for someone.Soon, Zhu Xingda's eyes fell on a corner of the stand.

There, the Xiangbei players just took their seats.

"Xiangbei."

"After defeating Kumamoto San, we will meet Shonhoku High School, Jinguji Budo. Can we really defeat this kind of opponent?!"

Hirabayashi Onijirou dribbled the ball in his hand, thinking so in his heart.Hirabayashi Kijiro has already felt the heavy pressure even before he fought against Shonhoku High School's Jinguji Budo.

His dribbling speed began to speed up unconsciously, and the impatience in his heart could not be controlled at all.

"Onijiro, the game hasn't started yet, so the warm-up doesn't have to be so intense, just relax."

"You have seen Kumamoto No. [-]'s strength, and their strength is just like that, so don't worry about it."

The coach of Mingpeng Industry is a little old man in his 50s. He is only in his early 160cm tall. Jiro said with a smile.

"Sorry, coach." Hirabayashi Kijiro withdrew his gaze, apologized to the coach, took the ball, tucked it around his waist, and cast his eyes on the opponent on the other side of the court, Kumamoto No. [-].

Kumamoto No. [-] is a team from Kumamoto Prefecture. Unlike a strong basketball county like Kanagawa, Kumamoto has only one spot in the national competition.Kumamoto No. [-] who can win this place, the overall strength of the team is also quite good.

Among the ratings of Basketball Magazine, Kumamoto is the third-ranked B-level team.

Among all the participating teams, it can be regarded as the mid-range level.

However, Mingyou Industry, who is about to fight them, is not weak.

Last year, Mingpeng broke into the national competition, and they qualified from Aichi County, and Aichi County is a famous basketball strong county.Being able to play from Aichi County has already demonstrated the strength of Mingpeng. This year, Mingpeng was rated as an A-level team.

Among all the participating teams, it was Upstream.

Therefore, Meitomo's captain Hirabayashi Kijiro didn't pay much attention to this game. In his eyes, it was impossible for Kumamoto No. [-] from Xiaoxian to pose any threat to an A-level team like them.

From the very beginning, Hirabayashi Kijiro had set the target of the battle on Shohoku High School.

In his opinion, only a strong team like Xiangbei High School can pose some threat to their Mingpeng Industry.

Soon, the cleaners had finished cleaning up the stadium. Under the signal of the referee, the coaches of the two sides shook hands in front of the referee's bench, and the players also walked into the stadium one after another, starting the pre-match warm-up.

In the stands, the Xiangbei players who had just won the game began to comment and point at the players from both sides entering the field.

"The A-level Meitomo Industry is playing against the B-level Kumamoto No. [-]. You can tell the winner just by looking at the ratings of the two teams!"

Nango Koichiro was eating with something in his mouth, holding a magazine in his hand, on which was the rating of the participating teams in this year's national competition.

Seeing that the match was between a Class A team and a Class B team, Nango Koichiro lost some interest.

When Yingmu Huadao heard Nanxiang say this, he suddenly shook his head and said with regret:

"Hey! The brain is really simple!"

"If the strength of the team depends only on the team's rating, then there is no need to play the game. It is recommended to award trophies directly based on the team's rating."

"Dyeing Monkey, can you move your monkey brain? Is Kumamoto sure to lose? I don't believe it, I think Kumamoto will win!"

Not to mention, although Yingmu Huadao spoke in a very awkward tone, his words were not unreasonable.Although Nango Koichiro felt that there was no problem with Sakuragi's "theory of strength and weakness", he was still quite angry when Sakuragi scolded him for being a monkey brain, and directly reprimanded:
"Bastard! Who are you talking about, the red-haired monkey?!"

"I don't believe that Kumamoto No. [-] can win! Kumamoto No. [-] must not be an opponent of Meitomo Industry!"

"I said!!"

Nango howled with his neck stuck. After finishing speaking, Nango Koichiro seemed not to be enjoying himself. He stood up from his seat and shouted to the field: "Mingto Industry, come on! Don't lose!"

Seeing Nango Koichiro cheering for Meitou, Sakuragi Hanamichi also stood up and shouted to the field: "Bastard! Guys from Kumamoto Prefecture, don't lose to Meitom Industry! Fight hard and fight for this genius!" Tone!"

"Don't let fools underestimate you!"

Two Xiangbei players scrambled to cheer for two different teams on the field. This strange scene drew the audience's attention.

Everyone couldn't figure out why the players from Shonhoku High School cheered on Meitomo Industry and Kumamoto No. Can't understand.

Jinguji Budao was sitting between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro at this time, and the two yelling bastards gave Budao a headache.

Rubbing his head, Wu Dao really couldn't bear the howling of these two people, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab their clothes, and pulled them back to their seats.

"Asshole! Don't disturb me watching the game!"

"Give me quiet!"

After being scolded by Bu Dao, Sakuragi and Nanxiang really calmed down.But these two people were restless sitting in their positions. They glared at each other, then folded their hands in unison, and looked towards the field.

"oh"

"The captain of Meitomo Industry is called Hirabayashi Kijiro, he is 191cm tall, and he plays the small forward position."

"The famous friends he led had a fierce fight with Aihe and the students in the county competition! They only lost to Aihe by 12 points."

Not long after Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango had been quiet, Mitsui Shou, who was sitting in front of Budao, picked up the magazines on the ground.After briefly flipping through it, I suddenly saw the introduction of Mingpeng in the magazine, and said with a little interest.

In the high school basketball arena, few teams can have a small forward with a height of more than 190cm.The centers of many teams may not be able to reach such a height, let alone the small forward position.

From the staffing of Meitou, Mitsui Shou could vaguely feel the strength of Meitom Industries. A team with such a high-level small forward would not be poor in strength.

Mitsui Shou's words immediately attracted Nango Koichiro's attention, he poked his head out, Nango's chin rested on Mitsui Shou's shoulder, carefully looked at the magazine in Mitsui Shou's hand, and praised deliberately exaggeratedly:
"oh!!!"

"A small forward with a height of 191cm is so tall! He is about the same height as a certain power forward!"

"How strong is this!!! A certain power forward may not be able to stop it!"

When Nanxiang was talking, he couldn't help but glance at Sakuragi. Sakuragi was annoyed by the look, so he snorted softly, turned his head, and ignored Nanxiang.Seeing Sakuragi like this, Nango immediately became active, and kept praising Mingpeng Industry, as if he had a good relationship with Mingpeng.

The time in the warm-up phase passed quickly, and when Sakuragi and Nango were making noise, the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.

The two teams settled in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

After a long whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air.

The center forward of Mingpeng Industry is No. 8, and his visual height should be around 195cm, while his opponent is a little shorter than him, and may not even reach 190cm.The jump was directly dialed by Mingpeng's center, and it was quickly given to the defender in the backcourt.

The latter took the ball and took it out, and at the time it was given to No. [-] Hirabayashi Kijiro, who took the ball without stopping for a moment, quickly advanced with the ball, and then quickly approached the three-point line under the surprised eyes of the audience Immediately, he made an emergency stop, pulled out, and threw the ball directly without waiting for him to get in position with his teammates.

The basketball quickly crossed the half court, plunged into the basket, and made a crisp sound.

The Xiangbei team members on the stands watched this scene in astonishment one by one. After a while, the players all turned their heads, and all eyes fell on Jinguji Budao.

Even Jinguji Budao was surprised when he saw this ball, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't believe what happened before his eyes.

Although there is only one ball, Hirabayashi Kijiro's style of play, Jinguji Budo is unexpectedly familiar! !
