The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

On August 5th, the third round of the national competition, it was already a battle for the semi-finals from eight to four.

The knockout competition system has reached this stage, and there are already many strong players, and several games are quite interesting.

Sanno Industrial's opponent is Luo An, who was in the quarterfinals of last year's national competition. It is also the only strong team besides the four major seed teams to have a bye in the first round this year.

Last year, when competing with Hakata Shang for tickets to the semi-finals, Luo An only lost by one point. It was an absolutely powerful team and was known as a semi-final team that was not the semi-finals.

Of course, with the strongest momentum in the history of Sanno Industry, no one thinks that Luo An can cause much trouble to this Sanno Industry. Most of the focus of the pre-match publicity is just guessing whether San Noh can beat Luo An. It's just a matter of An's score. Only a few of Luo An's die-hard fans may have even the slightest hope of winning.

The two games on the right side of the division are also strong matchups.

Hakata Shang University Affiliated played against Hainan University Affiliated.

Hakata Shoudai was hailed as the most aggressive team last year and was seen as an upgraded version of Toyotama. With its strong scoring ability, it was in the same tier as Sanno Kogyo last year. In the finals, the difference was only 11 points. Slightly worse than last year's King of the Mountain, the evaluation of strength is higher than that of Hainan.

And with the Hainan University affiliated with a 58-point defeat in the county competition this year, and with only a mediocre performance throughout the national competition, it is really hard to imagine that they have the capital to defeat Hakata Shang.

Football commentators predict that the Hakata Shang University affiliate will win with a score difference of about 15 points.

The other top four battle on the lower right side of the competition area is between Mingpeng Industrial, a dark horse that has emerged this year, and Daiei Academy.

Jun Tsuchiya, as a super rookie who has attracted much attention in the national competition last year, faced off against the super center of Metomo Industry. Although the position was not right, the ace was against the ace, and both had a record of defeating Aiwa Academy. It was still unclear who would win. , became the most suspenseful game today.

As for Xiangyang... today's opponent is probably the weakest team among the several games on the same day.

Higashi Sakura High School from Tokyo only made it to the top 32 in the national competition last year. Although the lineup seems to have been strengthened this year, the gap in strength between it and Xiangyang is visible to the naked eye. It all depends on the grouping. Lucky enough to make it all the way to the quarterfinals.

Even Dongying's head coach said happily in an interview that the top 8 was Dongying's best result, a huge success and a historical breakthrough for the school.

They will definitely play the rest of the game with the best attitude... They don't even dare to have the idea of ​​​​fighting for it. The result is already conceivable, which has made it clear that their participation in the semi-finals is the most important thing.

Even if people believe that Luo An can beat the Mountain King, it is difficult to imagine that the fat Touying Academy can beat this year's Xiang Yang.

Lao Lin and Sakuragi Hanamichi came to the scene early.

It can be seen that Lao Lin likes this child very much, especially when he heard that the other party is also a single-parent family, Lao Lin has such a holy heart... Not only did he take Sakuragi to have a big meal yesterday, but he also went shopping to prepare for the meeting with his son after the game. When I wore it as a parent-child outfit when I had fun in Hiroshima, I bought an identical one for Sakuragiya.

After all, when he was buying clothes, he saw the child wiping his hands excitedly next to him, which made Lao Lin feel distressed. It was just a piece of clothing.

So when these two living treasures were wearing plaid shirts, and Sakuragi was holding the same piece of clothing in his hand and yelling at Lin Dong from the edge of the stand, Lin Dong almost dropped his jaw in shock and couldn't help but laugh. got up.

Lao Lin is indeed more suitable to be a mother.

Then, the fighting power exploded!

After all, there was a 'mom' sitting in the audience, so Lin Dong, who originally only planned to go up for a walk and then come back down, still played the entire first half. At least he didn't want old Lin Bai to come. He even went to buy a Sony As for the camera, although the photography skills are terrible.

55 points, 11 assists, 8 steals, and 7 blocks. These statistics are not inferior to those of a certain All-Star. He single-handedly completely blocked the attack of Dongying High School and also broke through the opponent's fragile defense. Line of defense.

Poor Dongying High School became the first victim of Lao Lin watching the game. The final score of 154:49, although it did not break the gorgeous record of 114 points set by Sanno Industry yesterday, it really shocked many people into a cold sweat. .

If the main players Lin Dong and Xiang Yang play the entire game, the record will definitely be broken... As expected, these two are the only teams in the same league.

At almost the same time, another game suffered an upset.

Hainan University defeated Hakata Shang University 115:95 and advanced to the semi-finals!

Hainan, which has been low-key and narrowly defeated since the start of the game, ushered in a big explosion today. After falling behind by 3 points in the first half, coach Gao Tou used a five-small lineup to fight Hakata Shang in the second half. Fast break.

The return of the king, Mu Shenyi, exploded with all his strength in the second half, evaporating all the low-key silence of the previous few days. He was unstoppable at both ends of the offense and defense. The inside line affiliated with Hakata Shang University was riddled with damage under his impact. Kong scored 38 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals in the second half alone.

A huge triple-double with 48 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds and 5 steals. Ichiro Kamizou scored a full 8 three-pointers from the outside, becoming the single-game three-point leader in this year's national competition.

The two of them jointly led the team to overtake the Hakata Shougang University Affiliated Team, defeating the runner-up in last year's national competition and advancing to the semi-finals, which also shocked everyone.

After Hainan University completed the county competition today, it was praised by all parties as the one with the biggest fault. After all, they lost the county competition by 58 points.

Before the game, all parties believed that the Hainan affiliated team would be at the top 8 level at most this year. Who would have thought that this Hainan team would still have such fighting power? That was last year's runner-up, and was beaten by 20 points...

How big a hole did Hainan dig for the whole country during the Kanagawa Prefecture competition? Let everyone despise them, but at the critical moment they fight back and the king returns!

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, Hainan can beat Hakata Shang University by 20 points, but Xiangyang once beat Hainan by 58 points in the county competition.

this……

So while advocating for Hainan, Xiangyang inevitably became the protagonist of everyone's discussion for no reason.

The match between Mingpeng Industrial and Tai Rong College was also a small upset.

Before the game, all parties thought it would be a battle between two giants, but a dark horse was a dark horse. Mingpeng Industrial easily defeated Tai Rong College 104:78.

Jun Tsuchiya's personal performance was outstanding enough, with 41 points, 11 assists, 6 three-pointers from the outside, and a shooting percentage of 74%, but he was unable to make a difference.

Mingpeng's insider advantage is too great.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and Mingpeng Industry perfectly explains this.

Morishigehiro's super double-double of 56 points and 29 rebounds reduced Daiei Academy's inside line to ashes, and the title of heavy tank is well deserved.

In fact, Mingpeng is not very strong as a whole. Even if there is space created by the absolute advantage of the inside line, the shooting rate from the outside is still not high, but if you can't stand it, people will have secondary attacks every time. If you can't make a shot, just make another shot...

Seriously, one force can defeat ten, and he is the absolute dominance in the basket, getting everything he wants.

From the beginning to the end of the entire game, Da Rong Academy didn't even see the slightest chance.

Mingpeng Industrial advanced to the top four.

In the final afternoon match between Sanno Industrial and Luoan, it was as expected before the game. At 125:74, Sanno Industrial easily defeated last year's fifth place with a score difference of 41 points.

Six players in the team scored in double figures. As a substitute, Mikio Kawada became a killer at the basket. He scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in 21 minutes. His overweight tonnage was praised as the same as Shigehiro Mori. Super rookie center.

Looking at the whole game, Sanno Industrial played with ease and ease, completely crushing the strength of every position in the team. It was like a game, and it was completely impossible to see where the upper limit of this Sanno was.

At this point, the top four have been decided.

NHK conducted a special report on the sports news in the evening, previewing the broadcast of tomorrow's semifinals on the 6th.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Hainan University affiliated game against Mingpeng Industrial was broadcast.

At 3 p.m., the much-anticipated match between Sanno Industries and Shoyang will be broadcast.

——The strongest mountain king in history faces the Empire's Destruction Dragon!

——Super strong five-star lineup versus super hexagonal warriors!

——Is it a dragon-slaying battle? Or the destruction of the dynasty?

All kinds of gorgeous headlines are thrown out, and there are as many football commentators predicting the outcome of the game as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

But what is quite clever is that, regardless of whether Sanno wins or Xiangyang wins, the numbers and weight of both sides are almost the same, which creates a confrontational atmosphere and creates a situation where supporters of both sides can argue first. A red-faced person.

50-50, the biggest suspense is the best publicity, and the TV station obviously knows this very well.

After the evening sports news, NHK broadcast an interview with Sanno, and the ratings were as high as around 17%. And a segment about Principal Shoyang Akino's victory declaration shouted in advance when he intercepted reporters, the ratings were as high as 18%... Akino made Akino Tiangong is really addicted to the popularity. Even when eating the buffet in the hotel, it feels a hundred times more delicious than the seafood dinner.

Damn it... Akino Amamiya has made up his mind. If anyone dares to dig out his baby bump again, he will directly go in and out with the other party's white knife and the red knife without saying a word!

Some professionals claim that tomorrow afternoon's game will be highly anticipated, and the ratings may exceed the 25% mark.

The entire Japanese basketball community was excited and rushed to tell everyone about it.

After many years, the country is finally paying attention to basketball...

Only with attention will there be investment, and a virtuous cycle will be formed. Japanese basketball is about to rise again!

………………

The decisive battle with Sanno was about to begin. After returning from the game in the morning, all members of Xiangyang stayed in the hotel.

Coach Anzai rarely did what a coach should do. He found all the videos of Sanno Industrial's last year's game and this year's game, and analyzed them one by one with Xiangyang's players.

From tactical play, tactical style, to the specific personal characteristics of each position, everything is down to the smallest detail.

But to be honest, Anxi Mitsuyoshi feels that the effect of this analysis is not very good.

It can be seen from the first few games this year that Sanno Industrial's strength has been greatly improved compared to last year, but the specific upper limit cannot be seen from these games...

This is not the normal rate of improvement for a high school team.

Coach Anzai understands this very well. Generally speaking, Japanese high school basketball still pursues personal abilities and the development of players' own potential.

Tactics combined with these are basically things that only universities can learn.

But this Mountain King... advanced the process, which was not Goro Domoto's style.

Mitsuyoshi Anzai can feel that this must be the intervention of the Japan Basketball Association to help, and there may even be many national players behind it.

Frankly speaking, Anxi Guangyi was very sad.

In his eyes, although this team of kings is still not as talented as Sakuragi and Rukawa, they are still talents that can be made. However, when they should develop their personal abilities the most, they prematurely emphasized skills, tactics and team basketball concepts. This kind of thinking was especially instilled in Zebei students who were still in second grade. Although it quickly increased the overall strength of this mountain king, it also limited their future potential to a certain extent.

Just to stop classmate Lin Dong?

The people in the Basketball Association are already a little obsessed with Lin Dong.

Eager for quick success!

This is Mitsuyoshi Anzai's evaluation of the Japan Basketball Association, but it also aroused a hint of ambition in Mitsuyoshi Anzai.

If the Japanese basketball world wants to rise again, these people who are eager for quick success must learn a lesson.

Although at present, it seems that Xiangyang's chances of winning are not high...

The rhythm and speed are full, and I will update twice as usual tomorrow, with a slight transition to start fighting the Mountain King.

I will recover from the day after tomorrow, and there will be two updates for a few days after I beat the King of the Mountain. The 20,000-word manuscript has not yet been saved... However, for such an important game, I try not to delay the pace and divide it into several days to update, trying to concentrate on the fun. stand up.
