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

Chapter 162 The top four winter selections are announced

The recording time should have been during the halftime break between Sanno and Shohoku, and the recording location was the players' lounge of Sanno Industries.

The two parties speaking to each other were Masatoshi Ozaki, who represented the RB Basketball Association, and the coaches and players of Sanno Industries.

Overnight, the whole country was shocked.

As the head of the Basketball Association, he has taken frequent actions in the past six months, promoting the NBA's youth training cooperation plan, and indeed promoting basketball, allowing him to enjoy countless reputations.

But who would have thought that such a guy who was once regarded as the godfather of RB basketball would secretly instigate high school players to use such dirty methods to destroy another group of talented players. This is simply... incredible!

And the children of Sanno Industries, just for a fair fight between men, are actually fighting Shohoku under such great pressure?

Overnight, there was endless verbal criticism and abuse against the RB Basketball Association.

Early the next morning, local fans in Tokyo spontaneously organized a massive protest team and blocked the gate of the RB Basketball Association with a banner saying "Ozaki Masatoshi dismissed from get out of class."

Various shocking news came one after another, forcing the RB Basketball Association to close its doors and all work was suspended. It seemed that the RB basketball hero who had just introduced the NBA youth training program had turned into a street rat that everyone shouted at.

A club in Tokyo...

"Miss Miyako, everything is done." A tall man wearing a suit and sunglasses stood respectfully in front of the woman and bowed to report.

"How many people went there?" Gongzi asked calmly.

"There are more than forty key members from us, and the rest are volunteers who were mobilized at the Tokyo Forum last night. There are about more than 700 people."

The protest team of nearly a thousand people is indeed enough for the Basketball Association to drink a pot.

Miyako nodded.

Ever since he learned about the activities of the Basketball Association and Hitachi Group, Ozaki Masatoshi already had his own people around him.

recording? It couldn't be simpler.

After all, President Akihito personally explained the purchase of the team, and the team was handed over to Master Mitsui Hisashi...

Master Mitsui Hisashi is too simple and too idealistic. In his world, everyone is either a friend or an enemy, so Ozaki Masatoshi cannot stay.

This person is too scheming and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He also has a grudge with Xiangbei... That means he has a grudge with Master Mitsui Hisashi, and it also means that the Xiangbei where Master Mitsui Shou lives has blocked his way. With the other person's character, Holding a grudge is inevitable.

Although Miyako is sure that if the other party knows the identity of Master Mitsui Hisashi, he will not dare to mess around, but why should he give a chance to someone who is not happy with Master Mitsui Hisashi's identity?

Do you need more reasons to crush an insect that may have a grudge against Master Mitsui Hisashi?

"Continue to follow up, not only with protests, but also with all media, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Sports." Miyako waved her hand gently, her long eyelashes not even blinking: "Tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest, I want to see the news of his voluntary resignation appear on the front pages of all media."

"Yes!"

………………

On the morning of the 5th, a protest march was held in front of the Tokyo Basketball Association, triggering a wave of traffic across the country.

So much so that NHK was suddenly surprised to find that although Sanno was defeated, the expectations and enthusiasm of fans across the country for this winter selection did not collapse. On the contrary, more viewers poured in than before.

NHK's interest in this matter skyrocketed, so senior leaders simply followed suit.

What partner?

Our partner is the RB Basketball Association, not Ozaki Masatoshi alone.

What's more, what kind of eyesight does NHK have? This news can make the entire RB famous overnight. They who work in the media know the meaning of this all too well.

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you should know what a powerful energy is hidden behind it.

Ozaki Masatoshi didn't know who he had offended. Anyway, he was like a bug waiting to die in the face of such energy. And even if NHK really dared to fight, it would be like a mantis.

NHK urgently launched a talk show and invited several experts to analyze this matter, and they immediately clearly stood on the opposite side of Ozaki Masatoshi.

By the way, I will give the Mountain King another chance to clear his name.

What a respectable team this is? A group of high school students, for the sake of sportsmanship and an upright game with Shohoku, actually withstood the threat from the RB Basketball Association. What kind of noble moral character and commendable competitive spirit is this? !

The Sanno School Board of Directors also issued an urgent statement, stating that it would never fire an outstanding coach like Goro Domoto, and would also reward his excellent moral character...

"I have watched the game. Sanno really showed his full strength. This is a respectable team. It is hard to imagine that they are only at the high school level."

"Yes, we lost just because Xiangbei was stronger than them. Their scoring points were too strong. On the defensive end, Xiangbei's No. 10 felt like he was omnipotent. I think he was the only one in the entire RB that could defend alone. Lin Dong from Xiangyang, right?"

"Yes, although I feel a little sorry for the efforts of Sanno's children, I feel that if Xiangbei beats Xiangyang, it does have a greater chance than Sanno!"

"Only Lin Dong in Xiangyang is more powerful. Fujima and Toru Hanagata are a little bit worse. As long as Lin Dong is strangled to death, Xiangbei will win!"

"The coach of Shohoku is Mitsuyoshi Anzai. We were the invincible national player in Asia in the 70s!"

"The future of RB basketball depends on Shohoku!"

"Shobei! Shobei! Shobei!"

Sanno Industries was invisibly lifted up a lot, and Xiangbei, which defeated them, was also lifted up from another level.

NHK executives were surprised to find that the effect was surprisingly good!

If their overwhelming publicity about Shanwang could only be regarded as laying the foundation for this feast of national attention, then the spiritual character of Shanwang finally built a house on this foundation. Xiangbei, which followed the mountain king, continued to build higher on the basis of the two-story small foreign-style building.

Those fans who had put too much expectations on Sanno also perfectly transferred and even sublimated those emotions and expectations to Shohoku in the photo of Morishigehiro holding Sakuragi Hanado, making it finally become a Towering building!

So for a time, even NHK, which was originally expected to lose money, naturally ushered in a wave of peak ratings and rave reviews, and Shohoku was even more popular.

The whole country was buzzing about yesterday's game and the recording, so much so that the 8-to-4 winter selection game was overshadowed by this incident...

However, that doesn't seem to be important anymore.

In this chaotic day of media noise, Xiangyang and Xiangbei both successfully completed the eight-to-four game with a big score advantage.

The top four for winter selection are announced.

The No. 1 seed, Xiangyang, will face the No. 4 seed, Hakata Shang University, in the semi-finals.

The No. 2 seed district, Xiangbei, will face Luo An, the No. 3 seed district, in the semi-finals.

The traditional strong teams in the summer league such as Sanno, Daiei, Aiwa, Mingpeng, etc. have all failed. In the semi-finals, Hakata Shoudai and Luoan have also been labeled as inevitable by the whole country. .

There shouldn't be any surprises in tomorrow's game, and everyone seems to be a little less concerned about tomorrow's semi-finals...

The hot topic among everyone is the final the day after tomorrow.

On one side is Xiangyang, who has been invincible since the birth of the summer league, and Lindong of the Dragon Kingdom, who is known as the strongest man in 43 billion!

On one side is the super dark horse Shohoku, who was born and raised in RB and is led by former national player Mitsuyoshi Anzai, as well as Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa, who are known as the future lights of RB basketball.

The final between the two will be the biggest event in RB's current national basketball world!

………………

Xiangyang University Basketball Hall...

The game between Shohoku and Sanno is being played in the coach's office.

Sitting in the room were all members of the Xiangyang team and Coach Kitano.

Frankly speaking, this was the first time that Xiangyang sat down to study his opponent seriously. It was because of his previous relationship with Lin Dong that all of Xiangyang's matches were too effortless and too confident.

Except for the consistent Lin Dong, neither Fujima nor Hanagata, nor the other players in Xiangyang, never thought that there would be a team in the winter selection that could cause trouble to Xiangyang, even if they were blown away. The King of the Mountain, but as long as they think of everyone's progress under the guidance of Coach Kitano in the past few months, especially when they think of Lin Dong in the team, everyone feels confident.

It wasn't until the battle between Xiangbei and Sanno that these guys finally felt a different threat than before.

This Xiangbei team does seem to be a little too strong.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was praised by everyone, was still easy to deal with in Xiangyang's eyes.

After all, what Sakuragi is good at is defense, and even if he defeated Mori Shigehiro alone in yesterday's game, if he can face and defend Lin Dong alone, the people in Xiangyang will not believe it even to death. .

Everyone clearly remembers Sakuragi Hanamichi's daily '10 to 0' in the hands of Lin Dongjun during the summer special training. Even though it is said that he received more professional training, this '10 to 0' result seems to be Nothing has changed.

I feel that as long as Lin Dongjun wants to score, let alone Xiangbei, no one in the entire RB can stop him!

Not to mention that Xiangyang also has an offensive tactical system for high-level card dealing. Now that he has practiced it well, he has no shortage of offensive methods.

Xiangbei's defense was useless against Xiangyang, and everyone firmly believed this.

The real trouble is how to deal with Xiangbei's attack.

In the inside basket, even judging from the performance in the prefectural preliminaries, the intimidation of Takenori Akagi in the basket, who has returned to the team, is undoubtedly superior to Hanagata. Coupled with Sakuragi Hanamichi's support in the inside, if Akagi If you want to score at the basket, it is difficult for Hanagata to stop him. On the other hand, it is difficult for Hanagata to score over Akagi and Sakuragi.

On the outside, the two firepower points of Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi are a bit too strong...

Everyone believes that Lin Dong has the ability to freeze any one of them, but what about the other one? Kaito Makoto?

To be honest, Fujima himself didn’t dare to say this after watching the battle of San King.

Whether it is Hisashi Mitsui or Kaede Rukawa, not only are they the absolute best in terms of technology, but they also have the height and wingspan to win. When Fujima faces any of them, his performance will never be better than that of Yamato Morohoshi of Sanno. Jun Tsuchiya is better.

As for the other people in Xiangyang, there is even less to see.

And if neither side can guard each other, then the outcome of the game will be really hard to say.

"There's nothing much to say on the offensive end. Use Princeton if you have the chance. After all, Xiangbei is not weak. We need to prevent them from double-teaming too much and try to save Lin Dong some physical energy for the critical moment."

"Of course, handing the ball to Lin Dong without a chance. The simplest way is sometimes the most effective way."

"As for defense..."

"Leave Mitsui Hisashi to Hasegawa, and consume as much as you can," Kitano said with a smile: "Fujima, you go deal with Miyagi Ryota, Lin Dong, you block Rukawa Kaede."

"I believe that both of you have the ability to block each other."

"As long as the starting point of Shohoku's offense can be strangled, Hisashi Mitsui can't catch the ball as much as possible, and even Akagi on the inside can't catch the ball, then Shohoku's offense can be blocked from the source."

"And this is the best defense!"

"Finally..." Kitano laughed: "This Xiangbei team is indeed very strong and has far surpassed the level of RB colleges. But please remember, they are always just a challenger, because we are stronger!"
