Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 380 The third round of the national competition begins!
The violent slam dunk after Shinomiya Tianno entered the arena pushed the atmosphere of the audience to a climax.

Lingnan High School itself was the national champion of IH last year, and the team itself has a lot of fans, and Shinomiya Tianye, who is the ace of Lingnan High School, has many fans even more.

The audience's distaste for Izumi's arrogant attitude turned into support for Lingnan High School and Shinomiya Dano.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the players of Qiuyue High School who had become transparent people left the field in a hurry, and shortly after they left, the players of Luoan High School were also preparing to leave the field.

The rest area used for the Lingnan High School match happened to be the rest area used by Luo'an High School. When the Luo'an players were about to leave, the Lingnan players were already heading towards the rest area.

The team members of both sides passed by each other, and when Aso Izumi passed by Shinomiya Tianye, he suddenly stopped and called out to Shinomiya Tianye:
"Hey! Tamano Shinomiya!"

Quan Yaxian's shout attracted the attention of Lingnan and the others, who all turned their heads to look at Quan Yaxian.And Shinomiya Tianye also stopped, put his hands in his trouser pockets, tilted his chin slightly and turned his head to the side, looked at Izumi Asino, and let out a soft sigh:
"Huh?" (voice ↑)
Aso Izumi looked at Tamano Shinomiya, opened his mouth a little, showed a bright smile, and said:
"Don't lose until you meet our Luo'an!"

"I will personally destroy you!"

Aso Izumi clenched his fists, made a "click" sound with his hands, and yelled at Shinomiya Tiano.

"?"

"what are you?"

Shinomiya Tianye looked indifferent, and after a casual answer, he turned his head, ignored Izumi Asoshio, and walked towards the rest area.

After Shinomiya Tianye left, everyone in Lingnan also gave Izumi Asino a strange look, and followed Shinomiya Tianye one after another. The cross-country Hiroaki who was at the back of the team stopped in front of Izumi Asino.

"Go, go."

"Don't strike up a conversation casually, Tian Ye doesn't have the time to talk to a small character like you."

Koyo Hiroaki waved at Izumi Asino as if driving away wild dogs, and then ignored Izumi Asino's reaction, quickly followed Shinomiya Tano and the others to the rest area.

Quan Yaxinan felt that he had been greatly insulted, and his face flushed red. After staring at the backs of the people in Lingnan for a while, he snorted heavily and whispered to himself: "Then, let's wait and see."

The national competition schedule is quite tight.

Less than 10 minutes after the match between Luo'an and Qiuyue High School, players from Lingnan and Jinshan Commercial entered the stadium, and the cleaning staff of the conference quickly cleaned up the rest areas and venues on both sides.

At the signal of the referee, the coaches of both sides shook hands in front of the referee's seat.Then, the players were allowed to enter the field to warm up.

Lingnan High School's pre-match preparations were quite complete. After the referee told them that they could enter the field to warm up, Coach Tian Gang didn't say anything nonsense, and directly asked the players to enter the field to warm up.

During the warm-up stage, Shinomiya Tianye and his Lingnan High School did not perform any amazing operations.All Lingnan players are honestly passing and catching layups to warm up, and there is no "strong temperament" at all.

But it was Lingnan High School's simple warm-up, which put a lot of pressure on their opponent, Jinshan Commercial.

That sense of oppression engulfed all the players of Jinshan Commercial. As the game approached, the players of Jinshan Commercial even became extremely short of breath.

Nervous and stressful, the team members of Jinshan Commercial have not started the game yet, just a simple warm-up consumes more energy than usual.

The coach of Jinshan Commercial found the abnormality of the players. In the second half of the warm-up time, the coach of Jinshan called the players back to the rest area early, and wanted to help the players get rid of their nervousness by encouraging them.

Coach Tian Gang also discovered the situation of the Jinshan Commercial players. When the players finished warming up and returned to the field, he said to the players:
"see it?"

"Those Jinshan Commercial players have already started to get nervous and scared before they fought us."

"Obviously it is the top 16 team in the country, but in front of our Lingnan, it still looks trembling!"

"This is the power and influence that our Lingnan High School has."

"Telling this to you guys, I just want to tell you that our Lingnan is the strongest! Everyone is afraid of meeting us."

"Let go! Don't have any scruples. Crush them!"

Coach Tian Gang said, clapped his hands, and encouraged the players.

Today, the players sent by Lingnan High School are a bit different from those in previous games. Except for Akira Sendo and Shinomiya Tano, the starting center has changed from Jun Uozumi to Sugahira, a sophomore, and the power forward has also changed from Huagata. Good omen for Fukuda.

Even the point guard, Kenji Fujima is no longer in charge, and the second-year Tomoyuki Uekusa is dispatched instead.

What Coach Tian Gang said was mainly aimed at these three people.

In the previous games, Lingnan High School also arranged in the same way. He would give young players more chances to play. Unless Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao couldn't maintain the situation, Coach Tianoka would consider replacing the main force of the third grade. them.

However, the national competition has reached the third round, and Lingnan High School did not have such a situation in the game played after the bye.

Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao Akira are enough to deal with the opponents in the first few rounds of the national competition.

Jinshan Commercial, in front of Lingnan, is not fundamentally different from the opponents they encountered before.

Warm-up time is over.

After a long whistle sounded from the referee's bench, a referee walked into the field with the ball.

Players from both sides began to enter the field and walked to the middle circle to take their seats. As the players from Lingnan High School entered the field, the cheers from the stands were even more enthusiastic.

"Beep!"

After the players settled down, the referee blew his whistle and threw the ball high into the air.

5 minutes.
In the match between Lingnan High School and Jinshan Commercial, it took only 5 minutes to decide the winner.

The timer on the scoreboard had just jumped to 5 minutes. On the field, Shinomiya Tianye received the ball from his teammate in the middle distance, and after quickly turning around to sweep the ball, there was no fake movement by Shinomiya Tianye. Drop the ball directly.

At the moment when Shinomiya Tianye accelerated his breakthrough, his body directly hit the defender, pushing the defender away by nearly one meter, and then he took advantage of the momentum and took two big steps towards the basket.

At this moment, Jinshan Commercial's defenders seemed unwilling to just watch Tianye Sinomiya score like this, and directly grabbed the arm of Tianye Sigong who was passing by quickly with one hand.

However, something that surprised everyone happened. The defensive player who took the initiative to pull Shinomiya Tianye was directly brought down by the rushing Shinomiya Tianye, and fell to the floor with a "plop", and had already joined the ball. The activated Shinomiya Tianye was not affected at all, his posture remained the same, and he easily reached the basket, and the burst was a smash dunk and the ball was poured into the basket.

17:6, in the opening 5 minutes, Lingnan High School pulled the point difference to 11 points.

As Shinomiya Tianye scored a slam dunk, while the scoreboard was beating, the referee's whistle also sounded.

Shinomiya Tianye's slam dunk was not only effective, but Shinomiya Tianye also got a chance to add a penalty.Jinshan Commercial players, who were under tremendous pressure to play the game, were completely discouraged because of the referee's penalty.

With Shinomiya Tanno steadily scoring free throws, the score of the two teams came to 18:6, and the point difference reached 12 points.

The unmotivated Jinshan players began to make frequent mistakes. Originally, the players' offense was fairly organized. Although they always failed to make shots, they still had chances to shoot.

But after losing confidence, not to mention organizing an effective offensive threat, even dribbling the ball across the half became stumbling.

The difference between a strong team and a weak team is more obvious in the position of the back line.

Although the defender of Lingnan High School in this game is Tomoyuki Uedao, a sophomore, Uedao played very easily with a relaxed mind, but his opponent was tense.

Frequently can force the opponent to stop, thus forcing the opponent to pass the ball.

Although Zhicao does not have the ability to steal, but he can stop the opponent and force the opponent to play the ball, which is considered to be quite good defense.

The Jinshan defenders who can play the ball will often face the defense of Shinomiya Tianno or the defense of Sendo Akira.

Under the defense of these two people, Jinshan players are very reluctant to drop the ball, let alone take the ball for a while.

Under the oppression of Lingnan High School, Jinshan was completely defeated.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams had reached 53:17, and the point difference reached 36 points.The disparity in the score made the game lose its suspense early.

In the second half, Coach Tianoka did not replace the second-year Uekusa Tomoyuki and others. Instead, he replaced Shinomiya Tano and Sendo, and replaced them with Fujima and Uozumi.

Fukuda Yoshio, who originally played the position of power forward, switched to small forward.

After the substitution, Lingnan High School still maintained a strong offensive ability. Under the strong attack of Lingnan players, Jinshan could not organize an effective defense at all.

At the end of the game, the point difference between the two teams had exceeded [-] points. As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Jinshan ended their national tour.

The audience in the stands cheered loudly for the winning Lingnan High School, and no one paid attention to Jinshan who lost the game.

After the Lingnan High School game ended, the Xiangbei players got up one after another and left the stands.They stayed to watch the Lingnan High School game.

The result did not exceed the expectations of everyone in Xiangbei. The strength of Lingnan High School was not at the same level as their opponents, and they won the game easily.

As for Xiangbei High School's opponent in their next match?Sorry, Jinguji Budao and the others didn't take their opponents seriously at all.

...

The next day, it was still the second round of the national competition, but it was just a match between Group C and Group D. On this day, only coach Anxi from Xiangbei High School watched it by himself.

The team members, under the leadership of Mitsui Shou, did some simple adaptive exercises in the hotel gym, and then rested.

Under the back-to-back competition system, it is very important for players to maintain a good physical condition.

...

"Today, it's an eight-to-four match."

"If we win, we are the top four."

"All cheer up and deal with this game well. After today's game, it will be a real back-to-back!"

In the early morning, in the parking lot of the hotel where Xiangbei High School stayed, Mitsui Hisashi was doing pre-match mobilization before the players were about to board the bus.

"Don't worry, Captain Mitsui, no matter what opponent we encounter, we will not take it lightly!"

"That's right, with Senior Jinguji and you here, it's impossible for a school like Mingpeng to pose any threat to us."

Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Koichiro ran to Mitsui Shou on the left and right, flattering Mitsui Shou.Hearing this, Mitsui Shou also smiled, then looked at Jinguji Budao, and asked:
"Hey, Budo!"

"Don't you say a few words, today's game is very important to us."

"Mingpeng is an opponent, no matter how you say it is an A-level team, don't you need to pay attention to it?"

Jinguji Budao was standing beside the bus with his bag on his back at this time, his attention was not on Mitsui Shou and the others at all, his head was knocking, and he was actually dozing off.

Shouted by Mitsui Shou, Budo slowly opened his eyes, scratched his hair, and said casually:
"It's so fierce, I'm actually a little sleepy."

"Little San, what are you talking about?"

"Don't waste time, hurry up and go to the arena, I hope that Mingpeng can have some strength, so that I can arouse some interest."

As Wu Dao said, he saw the door of the bus in front of him open, and then he got on the bus directly.

Mitsui Shou looked at Jinguji Budo who was out of the situation, couldn't help but shook his head, covered his head, and then shouted to the team members: "Let's go, go to the venue."

……

The national competition officially started with 8-in-4 competition.

Xiangbei High School's Group A is the first game in the morning.

At 07:30 in the morning, the players from Xiangbei High School arrived at the venue on time. Under the leadership of Coach Anxi, they passed through the player channel and entered the stadium.

At this time, the stands around the stadium were already full of spectators watching the game. The moment Xiangbei High School entered the arena, cheers flooded into the stadium like a tsunami.

Even though they were playing in Hiroshima, Shonhoku High School seemed to be back in Kanagawa Prefecture. Almost all the audience were cheering for Shonhoku High School.

Compared with the high popularity of Xiangbei High School, Mingpeng Industry, which came out of the player tunnel on the back foot, seems a bit unpopular.

The cheers were sparse, and the cheers of Mingpeng's own school audience were easily overwhelmed by the cheers of others.

During the warm-up period, the Xiangbei players stepped into the stadium after changing their jerseys.

In today's game, Coach Anxi no longer has the idea of ​​hiding his strength, and the players he dispatched are the strongest players in each position of Xiangbei High School.

Center Akagi Takenori, power forward Sakuragi Hanamichi, small forward Jinguji Takedo, and the position of point guard was assigned to Mitsui Hisashi. At the same time, the position of shooting guard was assigned to Rukawa Kaede.

There are five players on the field, from the first grade to the third grade.

When Xiangbei was in the warm-up stage, these five starters also occupied more warm-up venues.Hold the ball longer.

The competition with Mingpeng Industry is about to start!
