Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

The competition between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School finally came to an end. In the end, Xiangbei won the game by 105:103, with a two-point advantage, and successfully advanced to the final of the national competition.

After the game, Coach Tian Gang took Lingnan's players into the player tunnel and went to the rest area to pack up their things. However, when they went to the lounge, a group of Lingnan players were stopped by reporters.

"Coach Tian Gang! I am a reporter from Sports Daily, can you accept our interview?"

"Coach Tian Gang, Coach Tian Gang, please stay, please stay!"

A group of reporters blocked everyone in Lingnan like wolves, and several microphones directly hit Coach Tian Gang's mouth.

Facing these reporters, coach Tian Gang, who was already in a bad mood, calmed down after taking a few deep breaths, squeezed out an ugly smile, and responded:

"I can accept your interview."

"However, my team members are not very convenient. If you have any questions, if you want to know anything, just ask me."

While Coach Tian Gang was speaking, he gave the Lingnan team leader teacher who was traveling with him a wink, and waved his hand to signal the players to go first.

After hearing what Coach Tian Gang said, the reporters nodded after looking at the players behind Coach Tian Gang for a while.

"Coach Tian Gang, as last year's national overlord, what do you think is the reason why Lingnan High School will lose to Xiangbei this time?"

"The trump card of Mausoleum, Shinomiya Tano failed to stop Jinguji Budo's attack at the last moment. Does this mean that Jinguji Budo is better than Shinomiya Tano?"

While a female reporter was speaking, the microphone had already been handed to Coach Tian Gang, and the camera behind the reporter was also quickly aimed at Coach Tian Gang.

"Um?!"

When coach Tian Gang heard these two questions, his face suddenly became gloomy.If eyes can kill people, the interviewer has already been killed by coach Tian Gang's eyes a thousand times.

At this moment, Shinomiya Tianye, who was walking towards the lounge with his teammates, also stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at the reporter who was asking the question.

The female reporter noticed that Shinomiya Tianye stopped and turned around, with a smile on her face.

Coach Tian Gang took a deep breath, pulled his clothes, and said:

"Xiangbei High School is an excellent team."

"Our Lingnan and Xiangbei are both made in Kanagawa County. We are very clear about the capabilities of Xiangbei High School."

"The loss to Xiangbei High School this time is not because our Lingnan High School is not good enough, but because Xiangbei High School is good enough."

"In this national competition, if even our Lingnan team can't stop Xiangbei High School, then no team can stop Xiangbei High School."

"As for the main reason for our defeat in Lingnan, it's not about our team members."

"The responsibility lies with me. There is a problem with my on-the-spot command."

"The two first-year students from Xiangbei High School showed terrifying potential."

"Next year's Xiangbei will be even more terrifying than this year!"

After speaking, Coach Tian Gang nodded towards the reporters, turned around and prepared to leave.

But the reporter obviously didn't get the answer he wanted, so he quickly grabbed Coach Tian Gang's arm and asked:
"Wait a moment, please wait a moment."

"In the past, it was widely rumored that the Kanagawa Twin Stars were Shinomiya Tano and Jinguji Budo classmates. Now, is there a gap between the Kanagawa Twin Stars?"

The reporter didn't intend to let Coach Tian Gang go, and kept asking.

Coach Tian Gang, who was held back, frowned and looked at the reporter, his chest was burning with anger. He grabbed the microphone and was about to curse, when Tiano Shinomiya came to coach Tian Gang.

Naturally, he took the microphone from coach Tian Gang and said:
"Let me answer this question."

"I think I should be the one with the most say."

Seeing Tianye Shinomiya took the microphone, the cameras of the reporters pointed at Tianye Sinomiya one after another. The female reporter also looked at Tianye Sinomiya expectantly, expecting that Tianye Shinomiya would say something that would be explosive.

"There is no doubt that Jinguji Budo is the strongest opponent I have ever encountered, not one of them."

"There should be no objection to saying that he is the number one high school student in the country."

"Now I can't guard against him."

"However... the road to basketball is very long. He and I are only in the second year of high school."

"In the days to come, I will use my grades to prove that I, Shinomiya Tano, am the strongest high school student."

After finishing speaking, Shinomiya Tano nodded towards the reporter who asked the question, handed back the microphone, and then turned around and walked to the lounge under the gaze of everyone.

Coach Tian Gang saw that Shinomiya Tianye was able to say these words calmly, and his anger calmed down a lot at this moment.

Pushing aside the reporters surrounding him, he followed Shinomiya Tianye's footsteps and walked towards the lounge.

After getting this answer, the reporters didn't catch up to ask any more questions. After looking at each other, they quickly left here to prepare for the report.

As the overlord of the national competition last year, Lingnan High School had such a high evaluation of Xiangbei High School. From the coaches to the players, no one in Lingnan used words such as "luck" and "lucky" to seek comfort for their failures.

But it was the attitude of Lingnan High School that made the reporters realize that Xiangbei High School was able to win by relying on its own hard power.

There are very few sports reporters in this era who are professional, especially this kind of female reporter, whose understanding of basketball is still quite superficial.

Just looking at the fact that Xiangbei High School didn't seal the victory until the last second of the game, some reporters who don't understand the game will subconsciously think that Xiangbei's victory was due to luck.

But only those who really understand the ball know how terrifying Xiangbei's handling of the ball at the end was.

Jinguji Budou was able to control the ball, endured until the last second to shoot when the team was behind, and successfully scored the ball. Such a terrifying psychological quality and personal ability have already surpassed "high school students" this category.

There is no doubt that Xiangbei, who won Lingnan High School, is very likely to be the next national overlord!
While the reporters were interviewing the Lingnan team members in the background, Xiangbei High School seemed much deserted. Except for Sakuragi Legion and Haruko who came from the stands to congratulate Xiangbei's victory backstage, no reporters came to interview Xiangbei.

After coach Anxi led the players back to the lounge to pack up their things, he also walked towards the stands, intending to take the players to watch the next game between the High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University and Aihe Academy.

The match between these two teams will be the last match of the semi-finals, and the winning team will meet Xiangbei High School in the final.

At this time, in the stadium, the staff of the conference had already begun to clean the stadium, and in the rest areas on both sides of the stadium, the players of the two teams were already changing their jerseys and getting ready to play.

The Affiliated High School of Bodo University of Commerce and Aihe College are both old and strong schools. The historical results of the teams are quite good. Like Aihe Academy, the best result in the national competition is the runner-up, while the Aihe Academy affiliated to Bodo University of Commerce The same is true, the best result is also the runner-up.

The match between these two teams also received a lot of attention. After watching the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan, most of the audience in the stands did not leave. They continued to stay and watch the match. who can make it to the final.

After nearly half an hour of waiting, the two teams finally ended their warm-up. The players returned to the rest area to make final adjustments, and then began to walk into the stadium.

As the players of the two teams entered the arena, the stands immediately became lively.

Mitsui Shou took out a magazine from his backpack and began to compare the players on the starting field according to the booklet.

"Hakata Business University is affiliated! And Aihe, these two teams are very strong."

"Hey, Budao, which team do you like more?"

Mitsui Shou patted Jinguji Budo on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

Wu Dao looked at the two teams in the field, shook his head with a lack of interest, and said casually:
"It doesn't matter who wins."

"After Lingnan High School lost to us, no team has the ability to stop us."

"As for the outcome of this match, who knows? They are all about the same strength."

I have watched both Hakata's game and Aiwa's Budo game. Both teams have excellent players, but compared to their Xiangbei High School, the standard is a bit worse.

Not to mention him, these two teams may not be able to stop the coordinated attack of Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede.

While the Xiangbei players in the stands were chatting and analyzing, the match in the stadium officially started with the whistle of the referee.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and the center forwards of both sides uttered loud shouts and shot towards the basketball.

As for the center position, the center of Hakata Business University Affiliated High School has an advantage in height, and his explosive power is quite good. He took the lead in hitting the bottom of the basketball and dialed the ball to his own half.

After Bodo's point guard got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball towards the front court. After entering the front court, he quickly accelerated his breakthrough under the high pick-and-roll of his teammates, passed the defender in an instant, and easily reached the basket and was about to make a layup.

But at the moment when Bodo's point guard made a layup, Zhu Xingda's supplementary defense also arrived in time, and he jumped up and slapped the ball down.

The basketball hit the Bodo point guard's instep as it fell, before rolling out of bounds.

With a beautiful chasing block, Zhu Xingda not only helped the team block the opponent's attack, but also won the ball for his team.

Between offense and defense, Aihe Academy has already launched a counterattack under the organization of Zhuxing University.

Aihe Academy is a team formed by Zhu Xingda as the offensive core, and the style of play of the whole team belongs to that kind of small and quick-witted style.

In just a few seconds, Aihe College, under the leadership of Zhuxing University, was all over Bodo's half.

After just a simple outside screen pick-and-roll, Zhu Xingda, who was holding the ball, dribbled the ball quickly and moved sideways. After two steps, he directly took off and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball quickly flew out of Zhu Xingda's hands, crossed the half court, and fell steadily into the net with a crisp sound.

"Shh!"

The crisp netting sound made the audience above the stands cheer, and Aihe and the substitute players on the sidelines also cheered enthusiastically.

The scoreboard jumped, and the score of the two teams came to 3:0.

Zhu Xingda's beautiful goal also set the tone for this game. Aihe Academy's Xiaokuailing tactics played quite well, and the movement of basketball between players was also very smooth.

When the first half of the game was only played for about 10 minutes, Aihe Academy successfully led the opponent by 6 points and took the lead with 21:15.

The pitch is looking good.

In the stands, Mitsui Shou watched the advantage of Aihe Academy gradually stabilize, with a smile on his face, and said to the team members:
"It seems that the result of this game has begun to become clear."

"Our opponent in the next match should be Aihe Academy."

"In this case, the champion of the competition, we are very stable!"

Mitsui Shou once fought against Aihe Academy, and the strength of the opponent seemed to be very strong, but it also depends on who he is compared with. Compared with Xiangbei, Aihe Academy is obviously not enough.

"Don't be too happy too early, I always feel that the subsidiary of Boduo Shangda still has a chance of winning."

"You look at their players, when the team fell behind, there was no ups and downs."

"The players also adjusted quickly between offense and defense. Such an opponent is not so easy to be defeated."

Akagi Takenori watched the game on the court, shook his head, and didn't quite agree with Mitsui Shou's words.

Hearing Akagi's rebuttal, Mitsui Shou nodded slightly after looking at the state of Hakata Shodai's affiliated players on the court, then patted Jinguji Budo on the shoulder, asked for Budo's opinion, and asked:
"Budao, who do you think will win?"

However, what responded to Mitsui Shou was a steady and slight breathing sound.

At some point, Jinguji Budao had already fallen asleep and did not watch the development of this match at all.The occasional cheers from the stands did not affect Jinguji Budo's "sleep" at all.

Mitsui Shou found that Jinguji Budao was sleeping at this moment, and did not choose to wake up Jinguji Budao, and muttered: "Are you actually asleep?"

"Did he consume a lot of energy in the match against Lingnan High School just now?!"

"Or is love and the match with Bodo so boring?"

Mitsui Shou's muttering sound reached Akagi's ears, Akagi glanced at Jinguji Budou who had fallen asleep, and said softly:

"You must be tired. You haven't faced Shinomiya Tianye's attack. You don't know how terrifying his power is."

"It's normal to be tired when defending a guy like that. During the national competitions these days, martial arts are almost full, so it's normal to be tired."

The two chatted and didn't bother Wu Dao to rest, but turned their heads to look at the game in the court.

At the end of the first half, Aihe Academy led the opponent by 46 points at 38:8.

Just when everyone thought that Aihe Academy would win, in the second half of the game, Bodo Business University affiliated changed a defender, and after the defender entered the field, the situation in the stadium changed suddenly.

In less than 10 minutes, Hakata Commercial University Affiliated High School wiped out the previous disadvantages and directly tied the score of the two teams to 65:65.

As the game progressed, the subsidiary of Hakata Commercial University completed the overtake and gradually consolidated its advantage.

On the court, a tall boy wearing a white No. 10 jersey catches the ball outside the third line. After a tentative step, he quickly drops the ball, just one step directly past Zhu Xingda, quickly enters the inside line and then goes up under the opponent's defense He made a counter-basket and easily sent the ball into the net.

As the basketball hit the net, there were warm cheers from the stands.

This No. 10 player in a white jersey was a player who was replaced in the second half of the Hakata Business University.

Hamedi Jonson, European-Japanese mixed race, 193cm tall, 83kg in weight, is a point guard!
Under the leadership of Ahmadi Johnson, the Hakata Business University affiliated quickly stabilized their advantage and maintained this advantage until the end of the game!
At 88:81, Hakata Business University Affiliated finally defeated Aihe College by 7 points and qualified to challenge Xiangbei High School.
