The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 103 Before the Great War
Hainan's journey from being unpopular with others has already made many people disappointed.

Even after defeating Hakata Shang, all parties began to re-examine Hainan's strength, but no one still thought about this outcome.

After all, many football commentators can see that the core of Hainan's five-trot running and bombing lineup when winning against Boduoshang is based on the inside advantage.

However, Mingpeng Industrial has the most explosive rookie inside this year. Whether it is Aihe Academy, which was the top four last year, or Daiei Academy, which defeated Aihe, they are all overwhelmed by this newcomer in the inside but can do nothing.

Therefore, more people are not optimistic about Hainan, but they did not expect...

And all this is because of one person: Mu Shenyi!

The name of Imperial Mu has finally spread from Kanagawa to the whole country. Hainan, which has already locked in at least the second place in advance and has broken the best result in the school's history, can already party in advance.

However, the war that has truly attracted national attention is just about to begin...

After the morning game, the Xiangyang players separated from their families and entered into preparations to adjust their mentality in advance.

After all, the opponent is Sanno Industries, and its strength is obvious to all.

Especially after Coach Anxi led everyone to review the game between Sanno and Luo An.

The feeling of Sanno Industries that everyone can become an ace when they are separated, but they are the most seamless position when they are together, is lingering in the mind of almost every team member of Xiangyang.

Frankly speaking, without Lin Dong, Xiangyang would not even be qualified to stand in front of this mountain king...

What made Xiangyang even more nervous was that after the game between Hainan and Mingpeng Industrial, the host announced on the stage that the next game between Sanno Industrial and Xiangyang would be at [-] p.m. at the Taqito Arena next door. At the beginning, the audience cheered for Sanno Industry like a tsunami.

At that moment, not only Xiangyang's players, but also Xiangyang's relatives and friends were a little shocked.

On the TV before the game, didn't they always say that Sanno and Xiangyang were [-]-[-]?
In all the discussions before the game, weren't there people who supported Xiangyang and Sanno?
Why did we arrive at the venue and the arena, but these spectators...

"I'm so angry!" Ishihara Yuya was so angry that his face turned pale: "Earlier, the girls sitting in the back row said that our Lin Dongjun was very handsome. I even greeted them and gave them drinks, but just now... Follow others and call them the King of the Mountain! Can’t you just stick to your own preferences and stance? It’s so bad!”

"After all, they are a team that has won three consecutive championships." Fujima seemed to be open-minded and said calmly: "The stage of the national competition has always been their home court."

What even Fujima himself didn't notice was that his voice seemed to suddenly become a little hoarse.

"It seems there is a home field advantage."

"Hehehehe." Coach Anxi laughed and looked at Lin Dong with interest: "What do you think, Mr. Lin Dong?"

"Go to the field to see it later?" Lin Dong asked.

Everyone was startled, and then remembered Lin Dong's last speech when dealing with the Basketball Weekly reporter, and they couldn't help but laugh, which diluted a lot of the depressing atmosphere just now.

"Then let's go to the field and watch it later!"

"Go, let's eat first!"

"Eat, sleep and fight the mountain king!"

………………

12:[-] noon, Hiroshima Stadium cafeteria.

This is a canteen specially opened for participating players and organizer staff. Everyone has lunch here these days, and the taste is pretty good.

Hanagata Toru's eating speed was really a bit fast today, and he kept eating furiously. It was obvious that everyone had similar portions, but he had already finished eating when everyone was halfway through.

"I feel a little hungry today..." As if she noticed that her eating speed was indeed abnormal, Hanagata Toru pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, then scratched her head and laughed: "I'll make some more!"

He took his lunch box and slipped over to the dining table as if he was running away.

This is the players' cafeteria, with more than a dozen kinds of delicacies, but he hesitated there for a long time, not knowing what to order.

In fact, he was not hungry at all.

Mountain King!Mountain King!Mountain King!

The cheers of the audience for the Mountain King just flashed through his mind involuntarily, and then he quickly shook his head to expel these images from his mind.

Tsk!But you must bring something back, otherwise the guys may think you are too nervous, so don't end up making everyone nervous.

He thought for a moment, picked up the public tongs and picked up a plate of tempura.

This damn tempura...can't there be smaller pieces?Just looking at it makes my stomach feel a little full.

But the next second, a big chubby hand held him down in time.

"Hehehehe." Coach Anxi stood next to him and said with a smile: "We have a game in the afternoon, so we can't eat too much."

"Ah! Coach Anzai." Hanagata Toru felt relieved.

It was the coach who told me not to eat...

"Pick one for me." Coach Anxi didn't care about this: "Oh, that's it. I like the taste of tempura."

"Ah? Okay!" Hana Xingtou hurriedly started.

While helping Coach Anxi pick up the food, he heard Coach Anxi smile and say casually: "Just now, the staff of the organizing committee sent Sanno's starting list."

Hua Xingtou was slightly startled.

"Nobe Masahiro did not appear in their starting lineup." Coach Anzai said with a smile: "And the person who replaced Nobe Masahiro was Kawada Masashi, so our tactics may also change in the afternoon..."

Hua Xingtou's face turned slightly solemn.

The Sanwang power forward was moved to the center position?
But this is not a good thing for myself.

They have already studied Sanno's video. Although Masahiro Nobe is an excellent center, his overall strength is still inferior to Shohoku's Takenori Akagi, and he is a type that he can handle.

This is also the reason why coach Anxi arranged the tactics before the game and asked the team to attack him more in the first half to share the offensive pressure with Lin Dong.

But if he was facing Masashi Kawada... Hanagata Toru's mind couldn't help but think of the power forward who flew into the sky and escaped from the ground in the video.

A mountain-like pressure suddenly came over her, making Hua Xingtou feel dazed for a moment, and suddenly felt even more nervous.

"I have analyzed Kawada-san." Coach Anzai continued: "He is definitely capable of playing the center position. With his gorgeous skills and strength, he is indeed the most powerful opponent for you. He is called the current number one in Japan. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is an insider, this is also the capital for him to be selected to go to the NCAA, but..."

"Maybe your defense and strength are inferior, but I think your offensive ability is not inferior to his. And if it's just about offense..." Coach Anzai smiled and patted Hanagata Tohru's hand gently: "Hanagata-san, You are also Japan’s number one center!”

Hanagata Toru was suddenly stunned.

He watched blankly as Coach Anxi's chubby back slowly walked away...

This is Coach Anzai, Mitsuyoshi Anzai who was Japan's number one national player in the 70s and led the Japanese national team across Asia and won the Asian Championship!

Hanagatou's dull eyes and slightly dilated pupils suddenly began to focus again.

Japan's... No. [-] center? !
He clenched his fists fiercely.

………………

1:[-] p.m., players' locker room...

Fujima was the first to come to the locker room. Most of the others were still in the cafeteria after lunch, chatting, or going for a walk outside to relax.

But he really wasn't in the mood and didn't dare to go.He had to find a place to be quiet by himself and calm down his beating heart and emotions.

The calmness he pretends on the surface is obviously only superficial, because he is the captain. If even he appears nervous and panicked, maybe Lin Dongjun will not be affected, but will others be affected?

After changing the jersey, even though I had carefully folded my original clothes neatly, I still couldn't calm down.

It's the semifinals, and their opponent is Sanno Industries, the strongest team in history.

As for his opponent, he is known as Japan's number one defender. Last year, he almost single-handedly defended Maki Shinichi, Fukatsu Kazunari.

In front of such an opponent, can I really...

call……

Fujima closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Breathing deeply can help ease your mood."

A voice suddenly sounded at the door, which startled Teng Zhen and he quickly opened his eyes.

"Coach Anzai?" Fujima was a little surprised. When he left the cafeteria just now, he clearly saw Coach Anzai sitting down with a box of lunch and chewing slowly...

"Hehehehe." Coach Anxi walked in with a smile: "Looks like he's very nervous."

"It's okay..." Fujima seemed to feel a little better than before. I don't know if he was frightened by Coach Anxi...

"Is it because of Fukatsu Kazunari-san?"

Fujima said nothing.

"Superior organizational skills, broad vision, impeccable stick defense, excellent psychological quality, and extremely offensive scoring methods..." Coach Anxi laughed as he said: "Sounds familiar, doesn't it? ?”

"This is what Basketball Weekly said about Kazunari Fukatsu."

"Hehehe, yes, but..." Anzai Mitsuyoshi's lenses flashed with light, and he said slowly: "This is also my evaluation of you, Fujima-san."

Fujima was stunned.

"Almost the same height, same playing style, same point guard and captain... Compared with him, what you lack is just a stage." Coach Anzai laughed, reached out and patted Fujima on the back: "So if he can do it, I believe you can too."

"Go and let all Japan know you."

Let the whole of Japan know themselves, in the semi-finals of the national competition, or even the finals stage!

At this moment, Mo Liyou suddenly thought of the certificate that had been burned beyond recognition, and what a man once said to him.

——Haha, Fujima, you are even more powerful than your father was when he was a child. You will also participate in the national competition in the future. I really look forward to letting the whole of Japan get to know my genius boy!
Fujizhen pursed his lips involuntarily.

Suddenly, he felt that his heartbeat was no longer so fast, but it became more vigorous and powerful.

dad……

………………

2pm.

Taqito Arena.

The audience has already entered the stadium one after another, and the staff of NHK TV station are busy on the court.

And today's protagonists, the players of Sanno Industries and Xiangyang also began to enter the locker room to make final preparations.

Lin Dong was the last one to come over. He just borrowed Akino Tengu's mobile phone to make a call and asked about Lao Lin's situation. After all, he only saw after eating that there were too many people in the stadium in the afternoon, considering Lao Lin's physique. , Lin Dong was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to squeeze into the stadium.

Fortunately, Sakuragi Hanamichi was there to protect him. I heard that Sakuragi Hanamichi was so powerful that he cleared the way, and Lao Lin was already sitting firmly in the stands without even breaking a sweat.

Well, calling Sakuragi was indeed the right thing to do...

Then, I happened to meet Coach Anxi at the door of the locker room.

You can hear the buzzing and chattering in the locker room. Everyone should be changing clothes already.

Coach Anxi did not open the door and go in, but as if waiting there on purpose, he saw Lin Dong coming and greeted him with a smile.

"I think I saw you talking to Hanagata and Fujima just now." Lin Dong said proactively as if he had already seen everything.

"My mentality has stabilized." Coach Anxi smiled and nodded.

This is Lin Dong, not Hanagata and Fujima, even though he is only in the first grade.

But to be honest, after being refreshed by the young man in front of him time and time again, Coach Anxi no longer regards him as just a child who still needs him to relieve his knot.

"What do you think of the afternoon game... Lin Dong?" After Coach Anxi finished speaking, he added with a smile: "Don't tell me to stand on the field and watch."

"When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up." Lin Dong replied with eight words this time.

"Your mentality is indeed unique among high school students, and you are qualified to say this. They really don't know you well enough. Even if you face this mountain king, you still have the ability to beat five." Coach Anxi smiled. Said: "But...Classmate Lin Dong, you are only 16 years old."

"You haven't really reached the NBA level, especially in terms of physical fitness. Otherwise, when you played against those rookies in Yokohama last time, you wouldn't have to slack off in the first half."

"And if you are alone, even if you can defeat the King of Mountains for half the game, can you go all out to play the entire game on both offense and defense?"

"I understand." Lin Dong paused: "Does Coach Anxi have any good suggestions?"

"Want to win?"

"of course."

"Then lead them." Anxi Guangyi laughed and said: "From the county competition to now, this is the only ability you have not let me see."

"It's not tactical distribution, it's not organization of offense, it's not series defense... you have enough of those, you don't need me to teach you. The leadership I'm talking about is true spiritual leadership."

"Twist every independent individual around you into one, so that they will no longer be afraid, no longer timid, and no longer flinch! Let them dare to follow you straight to the land of nine deaths without hesitation! Let them dare to win!"

Lin Dong looked at Coach Anxi with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Similar words were said to him by his former national youth mentor, after he lost to Serbia.

Before that battle, he also thought that he could fight one against five, because at the Adidas training camp earlier than that battle, he had played against most of the people on that team and even been teammates, but...

"No matter how weak the soldiers are, they still have their value and use on the battlefield. Don't give up and dislike them, but also know how to put them in the most appropriate position."

"If you can truly do this, then I don't think anyone can defeat you, not the Mountain King, or anyone else!"

"Thank you." Lin Dongchong stretched out his hand to coach Anxi: "With such sincerity, aren't you afraid that Longguo basketball will become stronger and more unsurpassable?"

Coach Anxi was startled, then laughed, stretched out his hand to shake Lin Dong's hand.

"Hehehehe! Basketball is pure, just like what you did to Sakuragi-san, we are the same kind of people." Coach Anzai laughed and said: "Kid, come on! Don't lose to Sanno and them behind! "

　The title has already written that before the war, I am a thin-skinned person and don’t want to cheat clicks, even if the money is less, even if I lose the subscription.

　　So as long as you are a brother who clicks in to watch, let alone water, we like to interact with everyone, but that is really exciting. This is the most important part of the spirit of the novel. Without these things and just showing off, it is not called novel.
