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

Chapter 90 Trip to Hiroshima

Hiroshima is a famous tourist destination in Japan. It is surrounded by mountains to the north and adjacent to the Seto Inland Sea to the south.

People say that people who rely on the mountains eat the mountains, and those who rely on the sea eat the sea. This place eats both the mountains and the sea, so it has been a prosperous place in Japan since ancient times.

Even though it is quite far apart, although it is on the same Honshu Island as Kanagawa, it almost spans the east and west sides of Honshu Island. Even taking the high-speed train takes a full six hours.

The school board of directors is led by principal Akino Amamiya, and includes a physical education teacher, the school's female treasurer, team assistant coach Togashi Rauzawa, and team manager Ishihara Yua who was specially approved by the school, plus the team itself. A list of 12 people, a total of 17 people.

As for family members, most of them will come a few days later. After all, these days are still working days.

Although the journey was long, since most of them were excited young people chattering in the carriage, it did not seem like the journey was lonely and long.

Hiroshima is a tourist prefecture, and many people come here to play during the summer vacation. In addition, this year's high school summer basketball league was highly praised by NHK, which really gave this event a lot of attention and popularity in Japan. Pulled up.

While everyone was on the high-speed train, they could already hear many passengers talking about the summer league.

Of course, no one talks about Xiangyang, most people talk about Sanno Industries.

Especially Eiji Sawabita and Masashi Kawada. One of them has signed a contract with NSAA Lanphier High School in the United States, and the other is booked by Cole University in San Antonio. Once the national competition is over, he will fly to the United States to participate in the NCAA college students. League!
"Did you see Masashi Kawada's little hook when he faced the defense of the American NBA center on the NHK TV show? God, he was only a high school student, and that shot was so exciting. It felt like he was already Japan's No. 1. [-]!"

"I heard that entering the American college league is equivalent to entering the NBA. However, the current number one in Japan is Sabahita Eiji. Hey, he is also from Sanno Industries. This year's Sanno Industries is really strong. Got it!"

"Wada or Sawehita, who is the number one high school student in Japan?"

"Different positions, they are all No. [-]! You don't know, after they finished playing in the NBA rookie group, the Basketball Association organized a group of players from Fukasawa to compete with them. Those were our Japanese national players, and Sanno Industries actually won. With a score of [-] or so, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Sanno Industries is our Japanese national team this year!”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a strong group of people are actually just high school students! I went to Hiroshima this time just because I wanted to stay a few more days to watch their game!"

"That's right! Haha, it's too hot this summer. I originally wanted to go on vacation in Hokkaido, but as soon as NHK news came out, I immediately changed my itinerary without hesitating for even half a second!"

"Really? You also wanted to go to the summer league specifically? Hahaha, it's a pleasure to meet you. Which hotel are you staying in? Oh, we are all in the same hotel..."

Every time they heard this sound, Fujima, Lin Dong and other players would look at each other and smile, but principal Akino Amamiya would have a long face and snort angrily.

Xiangyang is a public high school. Most of the school's annual funds are allocated from local finance and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Every time the school achieves some notable results, it will receive additional financial support and rewards.

Therefore, if you want to improve the teaching staff and teaching power to improve student performance and achieve results, you must first have money, and it will take a long time to polish. How can any sports project produce results faster?
Although Akino Amamiya has only been in office for a few years, his thinking is particularly clear.

First concentrate limited resources on sports, win more funding after results are achieved, and then improve the school's overall teaching staff. This is a virtuous cycle to make the school better and better.

This year's good luck is in the air, and it should be Xiangyang's time to shine. Lin Dong and the others were clearly playing well with the NBA's rookie team in Kanagawa.

But the media didn't report it at all, and instead reported on Sanno Industries, who was beaten so badly by the NBA rookie team that they didn't even dare to post the score?
Isn't it because Sanno Industries has won three consecutive high school championships? Isn't it because Basketball Association Chairman Ozaki Masatoshi's alma mater is Sanno Industries.

In fact, our Xiangyang is much better than their Sanno Industry this year. It’s really unreasonable!

This is not wishful thinking of Akino Amamiya. He has heard Coach Kitano's analysis of Lin Dong. Even if he faces the Mountain King, Lin Dong still has an absolute advantage!
snort!Damn Sanno Industries, the damn Basketball Association, the damn media!

Akino Amamiya now hates these three names so much that his teeth itch.

If it is not reported, it will not be reported, and we will not ask for it.

When the competition comes, let these blind media and that damn basketball association know how powerful we are at Xiangyang!
…………

I took the high-speed train at 8 a.m. and arrived in Hiroshima after [-] p.m.

Take the minibus from the subway station directly to Hiroshima Smart Hotel, which is not far from the famous Hiroshima Stadium. The opening ceremony on the 1st and the closing ceremony on the 7th of the Summer League, a five-day game, are all held at the Hiroshima Stadium.

Today is only the 31st. There are not many schools like Xiangyang that bring the whole team here a day in advance just to make everyone happy. After all, a team including the leading teacher will have to pay for the room and board for more than 20 or 30 people. , one extra day will result in an extra [-] million yen.

Akino Amamiya also said that if they really win the national championship, the school will extend the room rent for three days for free to everyone, and the 10 yen reward will be distributed directly on the spot, so that they can have a good time in Hiroshima... This is sincerity.

After arriving at the hotel, we assigned a room, put down our luggage and took a short rest. Ishihara Yua had already come over and knocked on the door one by one, telling everyone to gather in the lobby downstairs first.

Lin Dong and Fujima were in the same room. When they changed into cool and casual clothes and came down, they saw Akino Amamiya sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby with the chubby coach Anzai, talking about something with a smile.At this time, almost everyone on the team had arrived. Although he knew that everyone knew Mitsuyoshi Anzai, Akino Amamiya carefully introduced him to everyone again.

Everyone saluted: "Hello, Coach Anxi."

Coach Anxi smiled and said to everyone: "Hehehehe! You guys are welcome too! In fact, he is not a formal coach. He is just helping the Xiangyang school and an old friend of mine to help out. After all, the organizer requires that there be coaches. "

"My coaching style may be different from that of coach Gu Yi of Xiangyang. It may be more casual and less dogmatic preparations, but please rest assured, I think Xiangyang has the ability to win the championship this year, even if The opponent is the powerful Sanno Industries, so since we have chosen to take the temporary position, we will definitely do our best to help everyone achieve this."

"Yes!" Akino Amamiya was particularly excited when he mentioned this. He was even more excited than the younger members of the team at his age. He couldn't help but wave his fists: "We must defeat Sanno Industries this year, dominate the country, and obtain... you continue!"

"I will do the preparations, and your task now is to adjust your mentality and state." Coach Anxi laughed, and then said: "So this afternoon and tomorrow, I will not give you training arrangements or tactical explanations. In the past two days, in addition to maintaining your usual daily training, everyone can play and relax at other times. A good mentality is also one of the keys to victory, and everything related to the competition is Let’s wait until Game 2 officially starts and see the performance of our two opponents in the first round.”

...After Coach Anzai, Akino Amamiya and other teachers had left, the entire Xiangyang team cheered.

"Yeah! I can have a lot of fun these two days!"

"Don't let the morning training go to waste." Lin Dong reminded.

"Allah, Lin Dongjun! Let's practice tomorrow morning! But we've been on the bus all day, so don't let everyone down this afternoon!"

Lin Dong smiled and shook his head.

After all, they are still children, and the entire Xiangyang team really has no psychological baggage.

Especially after the battle on the field court, everyone in Xiangyang now worships Lin Dong almost blindly. As long as Lin Dong is around, they feel that the champion of the national competition must be Xiangyang!
When everyone, including Fujima, has this understanding, it would be a lie to say that they don’t want to go out to the most famous tourist resort in the country.

“I want to see the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Paper Crane Tower!”

"It's just a bunch of ruins. What's there to see? You've all come to Hiroshima, so of course you have to see Hiroshima Castle, a city from the Warring States Period!"

"I want to go to Senkoji Temple to see the Neko's Homichi... It's so annoying. Everyone wants to go to a different place. How about we draw lots to decide? It feels weird to go there alone..."

"Then everyone write down and vote!" Ishihara Yua was the most active, and then asked Lin Dong excitedly: "Lin Dong, where do you want to go? How about Itsukushima Shrine? There is a big red torii gate there, and you can also surf... …”

"Hahahaha!"

A sudden burst of laughter interrupted everyone's enthusiasm.

"There are actually girls accompanying the team, and they also want to go surfing...I wonder if this girl will be able to wear a swimsuit...hehehehe!"

"Tsk, this school girl's figure feels really good!"

"Hush~~"

I saw a group of people walking over from the elevator entrance, pointing and laughing at Xiangyang, and some even whistled at Ishihara Yuya.

The people who came over were actually acquaintances. At least Fujima and Hanagata were very familiar with them. It could even be said that they had a grudge.

After all, there is a grudge. If the other party is just provoking some men, Teng Zhen thinks that is nothing.

But when the conversation involves a girl, and it's quite disrespectful, that's really a bit annoying.

Ishihara Yuya frowned, and the faces of everyone in Xiangyang suddenly dropped.

"Where did the barking dog come from?" Teng Zhen asked coldly.

"They were just joking, don't mind." The leader stopped when he got close and looked at Fujima with a smile on his face: "But, after coming to Hiroshima, you just wanted to play, you guys There really isn’t much progress, I think you will be in the top [-] this year again, Fujima!”
