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

Chapter 128
  Yokohama Arena.

The arena had ended the game between Shohoku and Buri in the morning. It was 117:66 without any suspense. Mitsui Hisashi miraculously hit 11 3-pointers in a single game. Not only did he win the scoring title of this game, he also created Kanagawa's first score. The highest record of 3 points in a single game in the history of high school basketball brought a small wave of attention to Xiangbei.

But this kind of attention probably only lasts for one noon. After all, the game between Xiangyang and Lingnan in the afternoon is what all Kanagawa fans are most concerned about...

Today, the 29th, is Wednesday. It is approaching the tense end of the semester, and students are basically unable to come to the game.

But now in Kanagawa, as long as there is Xiangyang, there will definitely be no shortage of people.

Students don’t have to come to watch, there are many brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts present. Nowadays, almost everyone in Kanagawa has become a Shoyo fan.

The stands were filled with darkness, and most people were wearing Xiangyang's iconic green jerseys. Even if they didn't wear green clothes, they probably had some green headbands on their heads to show their support.

This almost turned the entire Yokohama Stadium into a sea of ​​green.

Accompanied by the sound of cheering for Xiangyang like a roaring tsunami, the Lingnan players who had just walked out of the player tunnel couldn't help but feel a shiver in their hearts.

"Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang!"

"I want to win a hundred points!"

"The audience and friends at the scene are very enthusiastic. This is unmatched by all previous live broadcasts. Kanagawa's popularity is well deserved. This reminds people of the summer league scene in Hiroshima. During the Sanno War, everyone was full of enthusiasm. Everyone was booing Xiangyang."

"Yes, but this winter selection is different. Yokohama Stadium is Xiangyang's absolute home court!"

"That's right, we must let Sanno Industries have a good experience of our home stadium in Kanagawa when the time comes!"

"Haha, I remember that Ms. Yayoi Aida has been a fan of Lingnan before. She has written many special reports for Lingnan. She is one of the reporters who knows Lingnan best. I wonder if she is now shouting to the audience to let Xiangyang win Lingnan by 100 points. What do you think of the call?”

Yayoi Aida, who was invited by Kanagawa TV to be the live broadcast commentator, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. What kind of bad partner is this? Can you shut up if you can't speak?

But after all, she was in front of the camera. Yayoi Aida still maintained her best smile: "In terms of Xiangyang's strength..."

The live broadcast has been going on. The camera is on the podium, and there are microphones in front of the two people, but it is basically just the broadcast sound, and the scene is completely obscured by the roar of the mountains and the tsunami in the stands.

Aida Hiko, who finally made it into the starting lineup, couldn't help but pout when he heard the harsh voices in the stands: "Why beat us by [-] points? Are we treating Lingnan as a weak team?"

"Aren't we just fish belly now?" Zhicao said, dumbfounded.

"But we still have the Immortal Senior! I believe we will have a chance to win against Xiangyang!"

"Me?" Xiandao turned to look at him and couldn't help but smile and scratch his head: "Spare me, Yanyi, I don't even dare to think like that."

"Huh!" Aida Hikoichi knew that Sendao was telling the truth, but this made him even more angry.

He is not only a member of Lingnan, but also a die-hard fan of Xiandao. At this time, he couldn't help but talk a lot: "When the Mountain King came to find you, you should have gone. Maybe you would have a chance to defeat Xiangyang. There's no point in being booed by the crowd like now. Look at the King of Mountains. He went to the United States for training and was promoted nationwide. How can we be like us, who surrendered without even arranging tactics! And these people on the scene..."

The words came out of his mouth, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, shut up quickly, and looked around guiltily.

I saw that Uekusa and the others were all in agreement, and there was no displeasure on Sendao-senpai's face. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice that coach Shigeichi Tagoka behind him was already a black line.

This idiot who speaks openly... Moreover, you looked around and forgot to look back? I've already finished using the toilet!
  Yes, he voluntarily gave up on this winter trial and didn't even assign tactics to Lingnan alone, but there was a reason for this. That kid Yan Yi didn't know anything!
  Not to mention facing the current Shoyo team that can be called Kanagawa's historical level today, even the other opponents Shohoku and Lingnan have no chance!
  He had also gone to watch the match between Xiangbei and Hainan. Unlike the one-sided criticism of those outsiders, Shigeichi Taoka believed that Hainan, which lacked Shinichi Mu, actually played really well.

Under the leadership of Kamizou Ichiro, its five small lineups with skilled coordination still have the strength to be in the national first-line and even the top four. After all, Hainan's heritage is there, and it feels better than Lingnan who lacks Uozumi Jun, Ikegami and Fukuda. Those who are stronger are better overall. Kamizou Ichiro is also an underestimated player.

He is accurate in three-pointers. Although his speed is slow, his organizational and ball-handling abilities are actually not weak. He also assumes the responsibilities of captain very well on the court and has a first-rate mentality. In the past, he was just overshadowed by Mu Shenyi.

The reason why they lost was not just because Mu Shenichi was missing, but because Shohoku was too strong, and it was also because Rukawa Kaede was absent.

Yes, he was just absent. When coach Anzai submitted the player list to the organizing committee, he submitted Rukawa Kaede's name, although he never saw anyone.

However, based on the state shown when Shohoku played Hainan, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who can be called a metamorphosis, single-handedly defeated Hainan's new ace Kiyota Nobunaga in the entire game, and tortured Kiyota Nobunaga to the point of doubting his life, no! Even Shigeichi Tagoka, who was watching, felt a little doubtful about life. That guy had only learned basketball for half a year...

In addition, there are Hisashi Mitsui who has completely regained his sense of ball and improved his physical fitness, and Akagi who has regained his confidence and has taken a step further. He is starting to be more domineering at the basket. Is there actually Rukawa? Feng is no longer bad for Lingnan now.

Shigeichi Taoka really can't think of a way to win against Xiangyang and Shohoku. There is no way at all.

Therefore, instead of letting the defeated group of Lingnan soldiers try their best to lose and be frustrated, it is better to give up tactically from the beginning. At least a little bit of their confidence will be retained, and it may even arouse some of their self-esteem that they desire to become stronger. Come.

What is the winter selection? Lingnan’s real opportunity is next year!

After all, next year's Kanagawa will have neither Hainan's Amu nor Fujima Hanagata. Even the Dragon Country native will most likely not stay in Xiangyang. This is the analysis of many ball commentators in Basketball Weekly.

Even Akagi and Mitsui from Shohoku would not be there by then, and Rukawa Kaede was also missing.

On the other hand, Lingnan will have third-year Sendo and Fukuda who return to the team next year, plus his new blue-collar who is starting devil training now, and Uekusa who has been converted to shooting guard. Maybe he can get a tall guy by then. The new center, such as the MVP center of Takeishi Junior High School this year... Then Kanagawa who will dominate next year is just around the corner!
  These distant scenes are all under his control. What can Yan Yi, that idiot, see?

There was only this little failure in his eyes! And he actually dared to mention the mountain king's recruitment of immortals...

Before Taoka Shigeichi could finish his thoughts, he heard Sendao smiling in front of him and saying, "I'm used to staying in Lingnan. I don't want to go anywhere else."

Sendao said it so naturally that Taoka Shigeichi's face, which was originally tense and a little unhappy, relaxed slightly, and was even a little moved by it.

Habit... two simple words, but they contain the rich feelings of Immortal towards Lingnan.

It was a recruitment from Sanno Industries and the Basketball Association, and it also had a special training quota to go to the United States. Shigeichi Taoka felt that if it were his younger self, he might not be able to control it, but he was stunned and couldn't be impressed. Xiandao has no loyalty to Lingnan!

At this moment, Tian Gang Shige felt a hint of happiness.

Is there anything more touching than when a child you have worked so hard to train has the meaning of feeding you back?
  I did not misjudge the person, nor did I cultivate and value him in vain.

The immortal way is the future of Lingnan! It is the greatest honor of my coaching career!

"Of course Sanno is not as good as our Lingnan, but that is to go to the United States..." Aida Hikoichi pouted, remembering that the person who introduced Sanno on TV was in the United States, and he looked envious: "I heard that Sanno went to the United States to train. They have become much stronger. Senior Immortal is so talented. If you go, maybe..."

Sendao said casually: "It's just because they said they were going to the United States that I don't want to go."

Aida Hiko was startled one by one, but Tagoka Shigeru's faint smile froze slightly.

What answer is this? Why does it feel a little off?
  ...Isn’t it because I have a coach who is like a teacher and a father? Isn’t it because of teammates like Yan Yi and Ue Kusa who are like brothers? Isn’t it because Lingnan feels like home?

What the hell is the reason for not wanting to go to the United States?

Seeing Aida Hikoichi, Yuchiko, Uegusa and others all looking at him with curiosity and surprise, Sendao realized that he seemed to be talking too much, but he had already said it all, so he still explained: "Springfield is a seat inside Lu City.”

Taoka Shigeichi was stunned.

But everyone became more and more puzzled: "Then what?"

Xiandao scratched his head and decided to tell the truth: "There is no place to fish over there..."

Everyone in Lingnan stood there with their mouths wide open.

Taoka Shigeichi, who was standing at the back of everyone, opened his mouth as wide as possible and his eyes were as wide as bells. It took him several seconds to recover.

Damn it, I was almost moved just now. I thought there was an inseparable relationship between teachers and students!

result……

"Let's play! What are you chirping about!" Shigeichi Taoka suddenly became irritable. After two days of shouting that he could just play casually this winter, he shouted behind the angry crowd: "Get ready to compete!"

Xiandao laughed, and everyone in Lingnan was startled. Only then did they realize that the coach had already gone to the toilet and followed him. It seemed that everyone was a little dizzy just now from the sound of cheering Xiangyang outside.

"Compare, compete, compete!" Everyone quickly started cheering.

So the devil coach returned to the human world... However, that was not something Xiangyang could know.

The game was a bit lackluster. Faced with Lin Dong's one-on-one defense, Xiandao was still at a loss. The whole first quarter was zero-blocked, and it gave Xiandao the feeling that Lin Dong's zero-block against him this time seemed to be more calm than in the summer league. Already...

The fairy road was not open. On the Lingnan side, in addition to Uekusa Satoshi who was far away from the outside and hit two three-pointers, Aida Hikoichi threw one in by some shitty luck. Just look at the shooting posture at that time and you can tell that it was pure. It's blinded.

Lingnan, who had no intention of playing, played a bit weakly throughout the first quarter, and was completely beaten by Xiangyang in only 10 minutes. The score of 48:9 in a single quarter made the audience cheered and shouted again, " While the slogan "win a hundred points" is enough to seal the outcome of the entire game.

Taoka Shigeichi was so angry that he was itching with hatred. You said that you won even if Xiangyang won. We are all from the same county. What's wrong with letting Lingnan score two more? Scoring single digits in a single quarter, doesn’t it look good...

Losing is a loss, but this loss was too embarrassing, so Taoka Shigeichi, who was planning to give up directly, let Sendou stay on the court and play the whole game. Anyway, the fisherman's mentality didn't seem to be broken easily. Before, I was totally worrying too much!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Dong, Hanagata, and Hasegawa all took a break. Sendō lost control and fought back. Although Takano Shoichi and Nagano Mitsuru had an absolute height advantage on the inside, they were completely unable to stop them. Lingnan finally started to score. But it only opened up on the offensive end, and the defensive end was defeated by the internal and external blossoming of Fujima and Ito Taku.

When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 128:75.

There was no suspense in the game, and the huge gap was visible to the naked eye. It was about the same point difference as when Xiangbei defeated Hainan, but the evaluation was completely different.

In the entire Kanagawa, no one in the audience or the media even mentioned the fact that Lingnan was missing Uozumi, Ikegami and other powerful players. They only gave all kinds of praise to Xiangyang. When Lingnan was mentioned, there was no disparagement. Most of them were light-hearted. He just said, "Lingnan also tried his best" and passed him by.

What interests them even more is Lin Dong's habit of clocking out of get off work in a single quarter, which has become a hot topic among Kanagawa fans, although he seems to have already started doing this in the summer league.

——The strongest hexagonal warrior in history continues to dominate the game!

——The iron-clad emperor, the easy opponent, from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals, two consecutive 10-minute records!

——After defeating Hainan, Xiangbei, can they force out the 43th minute of the [-] billion strongest man? !
  ——At 11:30 am on November 9th, the strongest Xiangyang will face the winter dark horse Shohoku. Kanagawa TV will broadcast the whole process live, so stay tuned!
