NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

"Ding-ding-ding-ding~ Welcome back!"

It was not the waiter who opened the door of the B&B, but Haruko, who was smiling brightly, and her two best friends, plus the Sakuragi Army!

"Why did you come early?"

Hanamichi asked with a look of surprise.

"Hehe! That's to give you a surprise!"

Mito Yohei said with a proud look.

"Yes, we worked several odd jobs in a row to collect enough accommodation money, just to come to Hiroshima early to cheer you up!"

Da Nan explained.

"Where are you living now?"

Hanamichi said to Haruko.

"Thanks to Coach Anzai, he asked the owner of the B&B to open two more four-person rooms for us."

Hanamichi then realized that Coach Anzai, who left directly after the game, was doing these things.

"Oh, it's all sponsored by the school anyway! It doesn't matter if there are two more rooms."

"How about it? Are you going to watch the game of Touou High School?"

Coach Anzai said peacefully.

When the Xiangbei people heard this, their faces instantly darkened.

Muro said in a low voice:

"Touou High School lost! Sanwang is too strong. Whether it is from the individual strength of the players or the overall offense and defense, Touou has no chance in the matchup with them!"

"Well~ It's expected! It's a pity that Kitano didn't complete the last step of his running and gunning tactics after all!"

Coach Anzai said calmly.

...

After dinner, everyone sat down in the lobby of the B&B.

Under the leadership of Coach Anzai, the basketball team began a collective discussion.

Ayako spoke first:

"Tomorrow (August 4) at 8 am, our opponent is Kadabashi High School in Oita Prefecture."

"They are barely a balanced team in offense and defense, and the core player of the team is No. 4 center Yuji Omura."

"But based on today's observation, it is obviously no match for Captain Akagi, but of course it is possible that they have reserved their strength."

"As for the players in other positions, they don't have any outstanding characteristics. We should be able to win easily tomorrow!"

Akagi said confidently:

"Well~ Yuji Omura! To be on the safe side, I will test more at the beginning of tomorrow. As for the offense, let you start with the outside line first!"

Mitsui smiled confidently:

"It seems that tomorrow will be another three-point show."

He was particularly happy that he could continue to make 10 consecutive three-pointers tomorrow.

"By the way, according to the intelligence collected in the afternoon, Ryonan and Kainan also defeated their opponents this morning and advanced to the next round."

"I heard that Yuzumi scored double 20 points in today's game~ He was in the limelight!"

Ayako added.

"Our Akagi also scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks today, not losing to him!"

Muguro said excitedly.

"Brother is so amazing, he actually scored so many points in the first game of the national competition!"

Haruko said with admiration.

"Humph, I want to score 30 points in the next game!"

Akagi said deliberately.

"But you must not have thought of who was the most popular person today?"

Ayako looked mysterious.

"Who? ×22"

All the staff except Hanamichi and Rukawa asked in unison.

"Meiho Industrial's No. 8 player Mori Shigehiro!"

"He scored 50 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 blocks in today's game against Changcheng High School. He was praised by the National Competition Sports Committee as the strongest freshman this year!"

Ayako read out the content of the newspaper solemnly.

Yes, after the game in the morning, Mori Shigehiro was widely reported by the newspaper in the afternoon.

It can be seen how popular he is. He is simply a rough gem that shocked the high school basketball world in this era.

Miyagi touched Hanamichi's shoulder with his elbow and deliberately joked:

"You and Rukawa have been overshadowed by him! What can we do?"

Hanamichi said unhappily:

"What can I do? If you let me attack tomorrow, I can also get this data. Basketball is not a one-person sport!"

Hanamichi's performance today was also good, with 22 points, 16 rebounds, 8 blocks, 5 assists, and 4 steals.

Rukawa Kaede even scored a game-high 43 points.

But there is no doubt that they are not as good as Mori Shigehiro of Meiho Industries in terms of data.

Coach Anzai said at this time:

"Today is your first game in the national competition. From now on until the match against Sanno, I will consciously replace several of your main players in advance to save energy."

At this time, everyone thought of the same thing:

"It seems that Coach Anzai is not optimistic about the top four teams~ AiwaAcademy and Hainan can defeat Sanno."

"You will know after reading this! ”

So Coach Anxi took out the videotape of Hainan’s match against Sannoh in the semifinals last year.

Coach Anxi had thought it over carefully before taking this out today. His purpose was not to dampen the morale of Xiangbei in advance.

After two rounds of observation and one round of competition, Coach Anxi predicted that Xiangbei would have no opponent before the semifinals.

That is to say, there will be no problem tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It is better to let these children know the strength of Sannoh Industrial in advance today.

At least there are still two days of competition time to rebuild their confidence in being a national strong team.

Besides, if they are informed in advance, there may be a surprise in the semifinals!

Unlike the original work, with the current strength of Xiangbei, Coach Anxi already has the capital to arrange the game in advance.

Just like Coach Tang Ze said, Sannoh has an enemy!

After watching the videotape, everyone did not feel as if they were facing a great enemy as they imagined, but they all looked solemn.

Seeing this, Hanamichi deliberately said:

"Is this videotape so good? This Sannoh is just so-so! Look at you all, your faces have changed with fear!"

"Asshole, who's face has changed ×3"!

Akagi, Mitsui, and Miyagi retorted.

"That's it, Dad, let's talk about what we saw today about Sanno Industry!"

So Hanamichi took out a stack of information with the word "secret" written on it and handed it to Ayako.

This was the information about Sanno that he had asked Hikoichi Aida to search for over the phone this afternoon.

It should be said that Hikoichi Aida was really efficient. Before dinner, he handed over all the information about Sanno Industry players and coaches to Hanamichi.

"Sanno's captain, No. 4 point guard Kazunari Fukatsu, third grade, 180cm tall, unknown weight."

"Advantages: calm personality, extremely strong psychological quality, outstanding single defense ability, good at stealing; Disadvantages: extremely hate small breakthrough players. ”

“No. 5 power forward Masahiro Nobe, third year, height 198cm, weight no more than 90kg, ranked first in Sanno with his extraordinary rebounding skills. ”

“No. 7 center Masashi Kawata, third year, height 194cm, weight 96.5kg. He grew 25CM in his first year of high school, which led to his position on the basketball court changing from guard to forward, and finally to center. ”

“It can be said that he is a super center with both forward and back line experience and skills! No obvious weaknesses! ”

“No. 9 small forward Eiji Sawakita, second year, height 186cm, weight 75kg. Absolute trump card, the best high school student in Japan, strength cannot be detected! ? However, according to Sendoh, this person has extremely strong forward single-handed ability and single defense ability. ”

“No. 6 shooting guard Minoru Matsumoto, third year, height 184cm, weight 76kg. A swingman, the top scorer in the country, he is undoubtedly the trump card in any other team in the country! "

"Disadvantages: Strong desire for offense but unable to take into account first-class defense, which is also the fundamental reason why he was suppressed by Zebei Rongzhi. In addition, he has not reached the leadership temperament in terms of psychological quality, poor mental strength, and slow retreat."

"No. 8 shooting guard Ichinokura Satoshi, third grade, height 171cm, weight unknown. Known as a defensive expert, with amazing lateral speed, extremely good at defending off-ball movement.

"Disadvantages: insufficient height and lack of scoring ability."

"Sanno's head coach Domoto Goro is about 180cm tall, with a focused and rigorous personality. He is good at planning and analyzing in advance, similar to a combination of Coach Taoka and Coach Takato!"

Ayako read all the information about Sanno in one breath.

I don't know where Hikoichi Aida got the information from, but he even got the height accurate to the decimal point~ He is worthy of being a professional!

Coach Anzai said with a serious face:

"From now on, treat Sanno Industrial as your imaginary enemy."

"Then - use your strength to defeat them!"

"You are the strongest!!"

Hanamichi was the first to drink the chicken soup, and stood up to respond:

"Dad, that skinny guy from Sanno is no match for this genius, I have secured the title of the best power forward in the country."

With Coach Anzai and Hanamichi in front to boost morale, others also began to analyze their opponents.

Rukawa Kaede was also stimulated by the title of the strongest rookie in the country and the best high school student in Japan today, and said:

"That Kitazawa, although I can't defend him, he can't defend me either... well, my way."

"Stupid, his name is Zebei!"

Akagi said unhappily, and then sentHe expressed his own opinion.

"Masashi Kawata's offensive and defensive skills are not inferior to mine, and he is even better."

"I will focus on defense when facing him, and I will move him out of the restricted area for pick-and-roll if he scores!"

"In addition, based on the video and intelligence, if he runs to mid-range shots on the defensive end, I need Hanamichi's help defense!"

Akagi's words are also a disguised admission that he is not as good as Masashi Kawata.

But judging from the opinions and suggestions put forward, well~ Akagi's [side dish] is not bad!

Hanamichi pretended to be relaxed and said:

"It's all a small matter!"

Mitsui, who had grown to 185cm taller and gradually caught up with his physical fitness, said confidently:

"Matsumoto's defense is weak, and although Ichinokura Satoshi is a strong defender, he is not tall enough. I will have a lot of scoring opportunities on the day of the game!"

"Brother, you won't have a lot of scoring opportunities, it's just super big!"

Looking at the "flaming man" with a burning desire for three-pointers, Hanamichi couldn't help but say to Matsumoto and Ichinokura Satoshi, "Goodbye, fellow Daoist!"

"Hehe, my task is probably the easiest in the team. I am the type of player that the captain of Sanno is most afraid of."

"It's just! Against Sanno's full-court tight B..."

"You don't have to worry about this, Miyagi-san. I will replace Akagi-san in the second half and play the run-and-gun tactics! Until Sanno gives up the full-court tight B tactics!"

Coach Anzai said firmly, and then left the B&B first on the pretext of meeting an old friend.

Leaving the players of the Xiangbei team in their seats to continue analyzing.
