Coach Anzai’s old friend is Coach Kitano, who advocates the [Run and Gun] style of play.

“I didn’t expect that you would be the one to complete the last link of my [Run and Gun] tactics! Anzai, you are so lucky!”

Coach Kitano sat in front of the oden stall, looking at the fat old Buddha next to him with envy!

“Oh wow, it is really my good luck to meet him…”

Coach Anzai was also happy to clink his teacup with Coach Kitano.

"So, on the day of the game, I have to take those disciples from Touou to watch your performance!"

"The complete run-and-gun tactic, no~ it should be the run-and-gun tactic + shooting system + defense system, oh! There are too many, it's time to give it a new name!"

"I'm old, let the young people in the future give it a new name!"

"You're still the same..."

…………

On August 4, Xiangbei defeated Kadabashi High School in Oita Prefecture with 95:72;

Hainan defeated Umezawa High School in Saitama Prefecture with 89:65;

Ryonan defeated Shimanami Gakuen in Nagasaki with 98:74.

So far, all three teams in Kanagawa have made it to the top eight in the country.

According to the ranking of the regional teams, the top eight teams in this year's national finals are No. 1 Sanno Industrial, No. 15 Kainan University Affiliated School, No. 21 Akizuki High School, No. 30 Shohoku High School, No. 31 Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School, No. 43 Ryonan High School, No. 45 Daiei College, and No. 60 Meiho Industrial.

On August 5, the eye-catching top eight to top four competition will begin.

The most eye-catching of these four games is Sanno vs. Kainan.

One of them is the national champion for three consecutive years, and the other is a veteran top four team. The competition must be very intense.

In addition, the match between the national "upstart" Meiho Industrial and the seeded team in the Osaka battle zone ~ Daiei College also attracted a lot of spectators.

After all, after reports from many newspapers and media, more and more people have known and begun to focus on the performance of the "strongest newcomer" Mori Shigehiro.

They want to know how far this "strongest newcomer" can go on the stage of the national competition for the first time, and what amazing performance he has.

The audience said:

"From the current point of view, the top eight is not his limit!"

As for Xiangbei and Ryonan...

"Heh! They are lucky to be able to enter the national top eight!"

"Ryonan, needless to say, will definitely lose to Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School."

"As for Xiangbei, it just took advantage of the schedule and there are no strong teams in the division!"

"They won't be so lucky in the next round, Akizuki High School was the top eight team in the last session!"

The fact is just as most of the audience expected:

Hainan lost to Sanwang 87:75 and stopped in the top eight.

Uncle Mu scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in the game, but it was not enough to save the team!

Although Hainan successfully cracked the full-court press of Sanwang Industry on the court through systematic training under the strict guidance of Coach Gaotou this year.

But it still lost to Sanwang in terms of player strength.

Maki Shinichi watched the team gradually fall behind and had no choice but to chase points with Ashen.

However, the inside line of his own team was blown to pieces. To this, Hanamichi could only say silently: Come again in the autumn national sports!

Shohoku was "lucky" to beat Tokyo's Akizuki High School 89:69 and advance to the national semi-finals first. It was generally considered by the audience to be the weakest semi-final team of this session!

What was unexpected was that Ryonan narrowly defeated Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School 78:75.

The only two players in the country with a height of more than 2 meters~Ryonan's giant center~Jun Yuzumi succeeded in the final frontcourt rebound battle.

Helped Ryonan beat Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School and advance to the semi-finals.

In addition, their ace Sendoh Akira fully demonstrated his top national level as a point guard in this game.

Under his threading, Ryonan team started a fierce confrontation with the militarized Hakata University of Commerce from the beginning.

After the militarized management of Hakata University of Commerce, each player is like a mechanized player built on an assembly line.

They are all-round and all-powerful. Their offense and defense are both first-rate but lack spirituality.

There is no national top-level player in the team, but there are 11 such first-rate players on the roster of Hakata.

In previous years, Hakata defeated its opponents with its strong substitute lineup and precise and mechanical team passing and cutting.

It was just that this time they met Sendoh and several other strong players of the Ryonan team.

The Ryonan team defeated last year's runner-up and made a big splash.

In addition to the giant Yuzumi's tip-in and buzzer-beater.

Sendoh also became famous in this game.

HeHe scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals.

The people of the Sports Committee gave him a super high evaluation that exceeded the data, saying that his performance has surpassed Maki Shinichi.

And he posed enough threat to the country's top point guard Kazunari Fukatsu.

As for who is more powerful, after all, it is hard to say since they haven't played against each other yet.

Hanamichi said:

"It's a pity that Sendoh may not be able to match Kazunari Fukatsu this time!"

Because they will play against Sanno next!

In the lower half, Meiho Industrial defeated Daiei College and advanced to the semi-finals.

In fact, the overall strength of Daiei College is above Meiho Industrial.

Their team captain, 190cm No. 4 organizing power forward Jun Tsuchiya, is known as "a tall and powerful command tower" with amazing speed, accurate and timely passes, a calm mind, good bounce, and accurate shooting.

It can be said that Jun Tsuchiya's style of play is similar to Sendoh's, but one is an organizing power forward and the other is a point guard.

Throughout the game, Daiei Academy closely centered on Jun Tsuchiya and launched an attack in an orderly manner.

However, after being seen through by the drunk coach of Meiho Industry, Jun Tsuchiya was infinitely guarded by Mori Shigehiro in the second half.

Jun Tsuchiya was completely defeated by Mori Shigehiro in the competition of dynamic and static physical fitness, and could only rely on sharp passes to drive the team to score.

In the end, the team fell in the quarterfinals because of insufficient firepower and inability to stop Mori Shigehiro's scoring.

So far, the top four teams were born:

No. 1 Sanwang Industry, No. 30 Xiangbei High School, No. 43 Ryonan High School, No. 60 Meiho Industry.

At 8:00 am on August 6, the game between Ryonan High School and Meiho Industry will be launched;

At 10:00 am, the game between Sanwang Industry and Xiangbei High School will be launched.

Early in the morning, Xiangbei and Ryonan met in the stadium, but one team went to the audience seats, and the other team was going to the locker room to change clothes and warm up.

"Yuzumi, you have to work hard next time, don't lose to that first-year kid!"

Akagi encouraged, "We will wait for you Ryonan in the finals!"

"Hmph! You don't need to tell me that I will teach him a lesson, Akagi, you should worry about how to deal with Sanno first!"

Yuzumi said with a straight face.

Hanamichi deliberately said:

"Mori Shigehiro, like me, started playing basketball in the second grade of junior high school. His scoring method is very simple, but his strength is amazing! It may not be so easy to drive him out of the penalty area, but if you can stop or limit him from scoring after receiving the ball... then..."

"Double-team him!"

Coach Tanaoka and Sendoh's eyes lit up at the same time!

"Aiwa Academy used three people to double-team him in the county competition to prevent him from getting the ball, but he broke through the blockade with his strength, so this matter..."

"That's because Aiwa doesn't have a top-level center in the country! Coach, please give this task to me, and I need Ikegami's help!"

Yuzumi took on the "meat shield" task without hesitation, and took Ikegami away with him!

"Haha, let us two seniors in the third year take care of the juniors again~ After all, there are not many times!"

No one expected Ikegami's sudden sentimentality.

"Ryonan~Come on x13!"

Looking at the Ryonan people walking towards the locker room, Akagi and others cheered them on in their hearts.

According to Akagi, it means to settle with Ryonan (Uozumi) on the stage of the national finals!
