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

Chapter 145 Sanno VS Shobei

In the top 16 match in the morning, Xiangyang's opponent was Daiei Academy, which was in the top eight in the summer league.

As a team that was once a top four team, their strength has indeed plummeted after losing Jun Tsuchiya. The top 16 is probably their good performance.

When he encounters Xiangyang, he is naturally helpless.

Lin Dong continued the 10-minute myth. He scored 22 points, 6 assists and 3 steals in the first quarter. He still played the role of the core engine of Xiangyang. He led the team to a 10-point advantage in just 28 minutes. Basically, Seal the victory.

Afterwards clocking out, Fujima Hanagata and others performed normal rotation.

Frankly speaking, in Lin Dong's eyes, the former Xiangyang was probably at the level of the top 16, and probably ranked higher among the top 16, but getting into the top 8 depends on luck.

To put it simply, it is not much better than the Daiei Academy that is missing Jun Tsuchiya.

But the summer league has obviously improved Hanagata and Fujima in all aspects. They have made great progress in terms of their mood, consciousness and even their skills.

Others have also improved a lot under Lin Dong's special physical training, especially during the summer vacation and the training of Kitano Shoichi in the past two or three months, making this Xiangyang team already have the strength of the top four. Therefore, even if I clock out early and get off work early, it is still more than enough for others to beat Da Rong.

Toru Hanagata alone led the team for the entire second quarter, and Fujima led the team for the third quarter, continuing to expand the score. By the time the entire team was replaced in the fourth quarter, the score had reached 95:45, completely locking the game. of victory or defeat.

The substitutes in the last quarter basically tied with Darong. The final score was 116 to 65. Xiangyang became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals in the winter selection.

The record of the largest point difference in history set by Xiangyang and Sanno yesterday has already whetted everyone's appetite. In fact, most people are expecting Xiangyang to bring a massacre to everyone today, and even Surpassing yesterday's Sanwang point difference record.

This seemingly "bland" 51-point difference actually disappointed many people.

"Is Xiangyang unable to fight?"

"Want to save energy for the finals? Are you afraid of being consumed? Or are you afraid of being studied by your opponents?"

"It seems that the Mountain King is still domineering. I hope the Mountain King can kill him all the way! Let Xiangyang see what a truly fearless king is!"

Except in Kanagawa, in the eyes of fans elsewhere, Shoyo is actually a BOSS waiting for the San King to defeat him, which is no different from the relationship between a warrior and a dragon.

Therefore, once someone starts to stir up similar sounds, they will immediately become heard.

And even the Kanagawa fans who still support Shoyo can only keep their mouths shut at this time. Firstly, they really don’t know how to refute, and secondly, because they also want to watch a game with a big score difference. …

So all those fans who had developed an appetite and longed for a big score deep down in their hearts could only turn their attention to the Sanno Industrial Team's match against Shohoku in the afternoon.

This team of Sannos and Shoyang are different from the low-key ones. They have been singing loudly since their formation. After returning from special training in the United States, they represent the future of Japanese basketball and there is no room for them to keep a low profile.

NHK's sports news at noon aired the interview footage after yesterday's game.

Reporter: "Tomorrow Sanno's opponent will be the Kanagawa Dark Horse who defeated the runner-up Hainan in the summer league. What is Sanno's opinion of this team and this game?"

"What Shohoku defeated was Hainan, which lacked Shinichi Maki." Head coach Goro Domoto said with a smile in front of the camera: "Of course, Kanagawa is a strong basketball county, and it is not easy for this Shohoku team to break through in Kanagawa. "

"We will not underestimate any opponent, and we will never show mercy in the game. Whether it is the next Xiangbei or other teams, we will go all out in every game."

"If we can win 100 points, we will never just win 99. We need games like this to maintain our excitement, in order to defeat Xiangyang in the finals and regain the glory that belongs to Sanno and Japan!"

"The Mountain King will definitely be the champion!"

The domineering declaration, raising the flag of Japan, and Xiangyang's low profile, compared to each other, really made Sanno Industry a fan.

It was only after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and before the arena opened, there was already a long queue outside the Yokohama Arena.

The scene was bustling with people, braving the biting cold wind. Most of them were holding signs with the names of Sanno Sanno or star players such as Mori Shigehiro, Tsuchiya Jun, Morohoshi Dai, Fukatsu and so on.

The afternoon tickets had been sold out two days ago. According to the organizer's requirements, only half of the tickets for the winter selection games were sold at the Kanagawa Yokohama Arena, while the other half were sold by the organizer at the Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa. The tickets are sold separately at ticket outlets across the country, especially in Aiwa, Osaka, and Akita prefectures. After all, several star players in the Sannos team are from these places and have a good die-hard fan base.

This action taken by the organizers obviously did not want Sanno to fall into an absolute away disadvantage when facing Xiangyang.

I heard that some Kanagawa fans were so angry that they went out of town to buy tickets. However, buying tickets from other places requires a resident certificate, which made the Kanagawa fans make a futile trip. This incident even caused a lot of news...

At this time, at least half of the people present were fans from other places, chatting non-stop.

"Did you see Coach Sanno's interview at noon? Haha, that's so domineering! I feel like I won't hold back against Shohoku today. I predict a win of at least 100 points!"

"Xiangbei is not that weak, right? They beat Hainan, and Hainan was the runner-up in the summer league."

"That's Hainan without Mu Shenyi. Hainan's second-in-command is just a pitcher. He can't lead the team at all. It's not worth mentioning at all, you fake fan!"

"Yes, I heard that Shohoku lost by more than 100 points when they played Shoyang in the prefectural preliminaries. They were just a weak team. Sanno must be trying to suppress the momentum of Shoyang in the summer league, not to mention Shohoku is from Kanagawa. The team, I think, is likely to suffer a blow today, and the point difference may reach more than 120 points! Haha, this will definitely be an extremely enjoyable game!"

"But I heard that the coach of Shohoku is Mitsuyoshi Anzai, our former national player."

"What is 3 times 3?"

"9 Ah!"

"Haha, that's right, but can you become a math teacher in a primary school? Are you sure you can teach children well?"

"But I heard that Mitsuyoshi Anzai also served as the coach of the university's basketball team..."

"Nonsense, Anxi Guangyi is in business after retiring. Anke Fried Chicken Restaurant was opened by his family, and it has become a nationwide chain!"

"Huh? Find a businessman as a coach?"

"Isn't it? Don't forget that Shohoku is also a public school. They just borrowed Anzai Mitsuyoshi's reputation. Do you really think of him as a coach?"

"Besides, it's true that this coach is the coach. It's a fact that the team is weak. Otherwise, how can we lose to Xiangyang by more than 100 points? Look, Sanno will win by at least 120 points today!"

The voices of outsiders echoed outside the entire stadium, while most local Kanagawa fans chose to remain silent and turned a deaf ear.

It's normal. These people didn't insult Xiangyang just to promote the mountain king. That's the reverse of the Kanagawa people.

As for insulting Xiangbei and so on... Xiangbei is already weak! You still don’t allow others to say it?

This is because outsiders don't know much about the local competition. If they knew that Xiangbei was the first novice team to win a ticket to the national competition in more than ten years, they would be ridiculed.

It doesn’t matter. After all, we have won two rounds. Reaching the top 16 is not too embarrassing for Kanagawa. The main thing is to participate. If I see two good goals from Shohoku occasionally, I will also applaud my hometown team. Encourage and encourage, even if everyone has fulfilled their responsibilities as fellow villagers...

"These people..." Mu Shenyi, Kiyota Nobunaga and others, who had wrapped themselves like rice dumplings to avoid being recognized, were all dumbfounded.

"Damn it, you dare to say that we are weak..." Nobunaga Kiyota was very unconvinced. These outsiders don't understand anything!

"Okay, okay, we lost in the first place." Kamizou Ichiro comforted him with a smile: "We will win it back next year. However, I feel that Xiangbei has been holding back in the first two rounds, which seems to have contributed to the victory. What’s the intention?”

"It's Coach Anxi after all." Mu Shen said with a smile: "If the mountain king despises them, he might suffer a big loss."

"Wow, that guy is so tall." Someone exclaimed in the crowd. Kiyota Nobunaga turned around and saw Jun Uozumi and Akira Sendō coming together, lining up behind them.

It was actually not a bad idea that Uozumi treated everyone to a meal last time. Nobunaga Kiyota and Shinichi Maki both enjoyed the meal. Both of them had good family backgrounds, so they visited often after that and occasionally invited friends to dinner. They all called him to go to his store. They had already turned from rivals on the court to good personal friends.

Kiyota Nobunaga excitedly waved his hand over there: "Boss Fish! This way, this way! We are lining up for you!"

"Huh?" Akira Sendō looked over with squinted eyes: "Brother Nobunaga."

In fact, we didn't even make an appointment in advance, and we obviously just told others about helping to line up.

The two of them happened to avoid queuing and squeezed over to stand with the people from Hainan.

Xiandao looked at the tightly wrapped Mu Shenyi and wanted to laugh: "Mu, even if you haven't played for two months, your physical fitness will not have declined to this point. Why are you wearing such thick clothes? Right? Yes, have you seen anyone from Xiangyang?"

"They have player cards and can enter in advance through the back door." Kiyota Nobunaga said proudly and laughed: "Haha, it is different from the county competition. You Lingnan have never participated in the national competition. Don't you know this?"

"Remember to pay the full price next time you come to my store. From today on, you will have no discount." Uozumi replied to him.

"Boss Yu really can't take jokes..."

Amu?

While a few people were talking, everyone around them was already looking towards them.

Sendo Akira immediately realized something and quickly covered his mouth, but unfortunately it was too late.

"It's Mu Shenyi! Oh my god! It's Mu Shenyi from Hainan! He's standing next to me!"

"What? Didn't the newspaper say that Mu Shenyi went to the United States? I thought he went to the United States to play basketball!"

"The one Mu Shinichi who was among the top five players this summer? The one who killed Hakata Shang?"

Buzz Buzz!

The surrounding area suddenly became lively. Mu Shenyi looked at the apologetic Sendao with a dumbfounded expression, and finally gave Nobunaga Kiyota a look on his face. This guy had the loudest voice.

It seems that it is difficult to enter the venue quietly...

Buzzing, buzzing, chirping.

The time finally ran out until 2 o'clock. When the ticket check-in started for the arena, those who were surrounding Mu Shen to look at the peep show finally dispersed again, making Mu Shen heave a big sigh of relief.

After squeezing in after all the hard work, I saw Lin Dong, Fujima, Hanagata from Xiangyang, as well as Sakuragi Legion, Akagi Haruko and others who were already familiar with each other. They were already in the front row. As we sat down, everyone's tickets happened to be together and they rushed over.

"Hi."

Everyone smiled and said hello. Although the media continues to promote Sanno and regards Xiangyang as the opponent of all Japan, in Kanagawa, both the fans and the opponents on the court have a good relationship with Xiangyang, especially The basketball game against NBA rookies in the summer had already brought the Kanagawa group together.

We are our own people. Even if we have to fight, it will be Kanagawa versus the whole of Japan!

"Come to observe the opponents in the finals in advance?" Mu Shenyi asked as he sat down, "How do you think? Who are you more optimistic about?"

"Being able to ask such a question means that you already have the answer in your heart." Lin Dong smiled and replied to him: "But didn't you say you gave up basketball? Why do you still care?"

"Isn't it okay to be a football fan?" Mu Shenyi said with a smile: "Even if you can't play football for the rest of your life, you can always love it for the rest of your life, right Yuzhu?"

"Haha!" Uozumi smiled slightly.

"Where have you heard this before?" Teng Zhen was surprised.

"They're coming out!" Kiyota Nobunaga pointed to the players' tunnel in the field, and then put his hands in front of his mouth: "Shohoku! Come on!"

"HOHOHO! Even if the wild monkeys are so powerful, we can't lose!" Takamiya Nozomi took out an empty plastic bottle with small steel balls stuffed in it, and while slapping the fence, he talked with Haruko Akagi, Yohei Mito, etc... ...and yelled at the top of their lungs together: "Come on Xiangbei! Come on Sakuragi!"

I have to say that the biggest feature of this group of people is that their voices are loud enough. In this humming large arena that can accommodate thousands of people, the knocking and shouting of a few people actually reached the players' tunnel.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears perked up, and with precise positioning of details, he searched in the direction of the stands and saw the friends gathered together at a glance.

"Hahahaha! All these guys are here! Brother Takato, and Haruko..." Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were filled with caution, and he waved desperately in the direction of everyone: "I heard it, I heard it!"

Bang!

A big hand pressed on his head.

"Save your strength." Takenori Akagi straightened his head and turned his gaze to Sanno, who had already entered the court and started to adapt to the basket: "You should look over there!"

——On the court at this time.

Jun Tsuchiya heard the voices of Kiyota Nobunaga and others, and when he looked back, he saw Lin Dong sitting with them.

Jun Tsuchiya couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, guys, let's see who comes to watch our game, haha, I thought with his strength, he wouldn't have the idea to come to watch the game."

"Lin Dong?" Kazunari Fukatsu ignored everyone else in the stands and locked onto Lin Dong's position, which happened to be in the front row of their half.

Is this finally feeling the threat from the Mountain King?

The summer of humiliation, the end of three consecutive championships, the frustration of defeat, the sweat of training in the United States, and finally the confidence that was finally regained.

All this he did was to take revenge on that man!

And today, in front of him, defeating Shohoku, who also belongs to Kanagawa, with the largest score difference, will be a formal declaration of war against him!

"Watch it if you want. We are no longer what we used to be." Kazunari Fukatsu turned his head, suppressing the excitement and fighting spirit in his heart, took the basketball thrown by his teammate, and then stood two steps outside the three-point line. A standard projection.

His soft touch and textbook posture give people a completely different feeling from his summer league shooting level, which was just okay.

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Fukatsu Kazunari said calmly: "After defeating Shohoku, there are two games left before it's Xiangyang's turn, and the final winner will definitely be our Mountain King!"

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net!

Shhh!

The referee's whistle also sounded at this time.

"Players on both sides are in position!"

　I only write about two games during the winter selection, so I may write a little more word count. I will try to finish writing the games between Sanno and Shohoku within two days, or three days at most.

　　I’ll update it twice today. It’s still 8000 words. Let’s think about the plot carefully.
