The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

"Nan Lie..." Teng Zhen's eyes twitched slightly.

"You still dare to say that?!" Takano Akira said angrily: "If you hadn't elbowed Fujima last year, we would have been in the top eight. You guys..."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Nan Lie smiled and shook his head: "Weak people will always make excuses for themselves. This year's grouping is good. Just wait, we will send you home in the second round."

"Oh shit!"

"What did you say!"

"Want to fight?" Several people behind Nan Lie immediately rolled up their sleeves, with hooligan looks on their faces: "Go on a date?"

"You are all a loser on and off the court! Hahahaha!"

fight? Xiangyang felt that he was really not afraid, and he was much stronger than these people just by looking at his size.

Takano Shoichi and others glared at him, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Many people in the hotel stopped to watch and pointed.

This makes it even more impossible to fight, as once word gets out, both teams will be disqualified.

But Fujima's eyes were still burning with anger.

He can be a gentleman when facing anyone, but facing Nan Lie, this guy not only defeated Xiangyang last year, but also insulted basketball and the game.

At this moment, he really wanted to punch Nan Lie on the nose.

"Fujima-senpai."

At a moment full of gunpowder, a big hand suddenly placed on Fujima's shoulder.

"Let's go to Itsukushima Shrine." Lin Dong said with a smile: "It's rare for even girls to express their opinions. I heard that the seafood there is very good."

Fujima was slightly startled.

Ishihara Yua reacted and wanted to smooth things over, lest the two sides really fight: "That's it! Stop arguing with these people!"

Nan Lie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Dong who was speaking.

He knows this guy.

Basketball Weekly had previously done a separate report on Xiangyang.

At that time, Xiangyang beat Hainan by 58 points, which set off a wave of enthusiasm in the high school basketball world. Both Basketball Weekly and various media spoke highly of this so-called genius player from the Dragon Kingdom. evaluation of.

Even though Toyotama School did not obtain the video of their match against Hainan at that time, just based on the game records described in words, it can be seen that this Lin Dong is powerful, and I am afraid he is not inferior to Sanno Industrial's Zebita Eiji!

A team with superstar and ace Fujima Shoyo...hehe.

Fortunately, the last thing Toyota fears is superstars!

"Hi, kid." Nan Lie called to Lin Dong.

Psychological warfare starts from the moment the two parties meet, and is to defeat the other party's fighting spirit!

"Don't think that if you beat Hainan, you are a strong team." Nan Lie said with a smile: "This year's Hainan is no better than last year. Except for Mu Shenyi, they are all substitutes. If we meet Fengyu, we can beat them by 100 points. point!"

"Sorry..." Lin Dong asked, "Who are you?"

The contempt in their eyes and words, not to mention Nanlie and Toyotama, even Ishihara Yua next to them could feel it and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Is this ignoring Toyotama? Ignoring Toyotama who killed them last year?

It would be fine if he was a nobody. I would treat him as just ignorant.

But after all, he was a guy who had been interviewed by National Basketball Weekly. Coupled with his first-year attributes, this provocation was too obvious.

The people in Fengyu immediately dropped their faces.

It's definitely not okay to fight in this public place, but if someone from Xiangyang strikes first...

"Damn it! You stinky bitch!" The boy with a ponytail and a ponytail standing behind Nanlie frowned, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ishihara Yua's neck.

He won't really go to any extent, he just wants to scare her, as long as he angers Xiangyang and the others and makes the first move.

In front of girls, especially in front of beautiful girls, it is often difficult for hot-blooded boys to restrain themselves.

Toyotama knows this too well.

Ishihara Yua was startled, and Fujima and the others next to him were very angry, and they subconsciously wanted to help, but before they could do anything...

Snapped!

A big hand has firmly grasped the ponytail man's arm.

Lin Dong had a faint smile on his face, his fingers clasped together, and his palms locked like an iron hoop. The white marks on the ponytail man's arms could be seen with the naked eye, as if even the blood vessels had been pinched by him. Got to be clogged.

Kishimoto Minori's entire face turned red, and half of his arms felt numb from being pinched. He used all his strength to pull back.

The other party suddenly let go.

Minori Kishimoto couldn't help but follow the inertia of her hand and took a few big steps back. If her teammates hadn't caught her in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

At this time, the security guards in the hotel lobby seemed to finally notice something was wrong, and several people came over together.

"Don't cause trouble in the hotel!" The intervention of the burly security guard resolved any possible subsequent actions by both parties.

Everyone in Fengyu stared at Lin Dong coldly.

"Save your energy for the court." Lin Dong said with a smile: "By the way, buy your tickets in advance. I will take you home on the 3rd."

"Nan Lie!" After suffering a loss, Kishimoto Minori couldn't control her anger. Even though there were security guards watching next to her, she still wanted to take action, but was stopped by Nan Lie.

"Haha... didn't you say you don't know him?" Nan Lie's smile looked a little feminine: "Come on, I'll wait for you."

Two more security guards came, and the fight was completely over.

After watching Xiangyang's people leave, the tense atmosphere in the hall finally eased slightly, and several security guards dispersed.

"That guy is so strong..." Miri Kishimoto covered her arm that was red from being pinched, and then she bared her teeth.

"He's also very strong. He's 194 centimeters tall and weighs 85kg... He might be like a tank when he charges. He doesn't look easy to deal with."

"You're so scared!" Miri Kishimoto grinned in pain and said viciously: "Didn't we already agree on the group schedule when it came out? Nanlie, you must be the one they are focused on guarding against. It's hard to do anything. Leave this guy to me, there's nothing that can't be solved with an elbow! I'll drag him down with me!"

"Don't take it for granted. At least now you all know that he is not the thin type like Fujima." Nanlie sneered and patted Kishimoto Minori on the shoulder: "One elbow may not solve the problem. You have to give him first Arrange some set meals...don’t worry, I’ll get your revenge!”

………………

With Lin Dong interfering like this, I felt that Xiangyang was not at a disadvantage, so this small episode did not affect everyone's mood, but rather added to the fun.

So I had a lot of fun during the afternoon trip to Itsukushima Shrine.

Ishihara Yua was very happy today, and from time to time he couldn't help but secretly stare at Lin Dong and act like a nymphomaniac.

Although there are more than a dozen young people traveling together, Ishihara Yua always buys two bottles of drinks and two snacks today.

However, Luo Hua deliberately bought the love takoyaki for that guy. It was so beautiful in the shape of a heart, but he turned around and shared it with everyone. If it wasn't enough, he also shared some for himself...

What a big piece of wood! So angry!

...It was already after 9 o'clock when we returned to the hotel in the evening.

The assistant coach sent everyone a specific schedule.

In fact, the schedule of the competition has been set before departure and is known to everyone.

The ranking was jointly drawn by the Japan High School Sports Federation, the Japan Basketball Association, the Hiroshima Board of Education, the Hiroshima Gymnasium and other relevant units during a grand live broadcast on NHK.

Only the specific schedule was not faxed to the teams until today.

The four teams that won the top four in the national competition last year respectively represent the four seed divisions, Akita Division, Fukuoka Division, Aichi Division and Kanagawa Division.

This year's champions of these four divisions are four seeded teams, plus Kyoto's special Luoan High School team, which will have a bye in the first round No. 2 game, while the four seeded teams are scattered to the schedule. In the four areas, avoid early encounters with each other.

There is still a certain deviation between the entire schedule and the comics in Lin Dong's memory.

The first is the four fixed seeded teams that do not need to participate in the draw. This is consistent with the comics in another world.

As last year's champion, Sanno Industries is ranked first on the upper left side of the schedule, while the first place on the right is occupied by last year's runner-up Hakata Shoga University Affiliated.

In the lower right corner is the Aichi Prefecture Division, which ranked third last year, with Mingpeng Industrial occupying the seed team spot.

Shoyo, as the number one player in Kanagawa, is assigned to the lower left side of the schedule.

The draw order of other teams has undergone major changes.

Hainan University Affiliated did not get the death lottery of Xiangbei in the comics, but was drawn to fifth place in the upper right area. If it goes well, it will compete with last year's runner-up Hakata Shang University in the third round for qualifications for the semi-finals.

Aiwa Academy, which was originally supposed to be on the upper left side of the schedule, was also drawn to the lower right side. In the first round, it will meet the Osaka champion Daiei Academy.

Aiwa Star Morohoshi Yama and Daiei Academy's Jun Tsuchiya, these two are the star players praised by Basketball Weekly besides Sanno. They bumped into each other in the first round, which also attracted the attention of all media these days. and reporting.

So much so that Sanno Industries, which was supposed to face tough battles one after another, was filled with little-known teams in the entire half of the schedule.

Toyotama, who was supposed to be in the death group, was drawn to the lower left corner. In the first round, he will face Aoho High School from Miyazaki Prefecture. In the second round, he will meet Sho from the seed team on the lower left side of the schedule. Positive.

The latest issue of Basketball Weekly also includes the ratings of each team.

Just as Lin Dong expected.

Like Sanno, Xiangyang was also rated AA.

After all, Basketball Weekly has already done an exclusive interview with Xiangyang before, and the 58-point victory over Hainan, last year's top four, is there. This is an evaluation of strength that no one can find any reason to deny.

But as the only AA team in this year's summer league, the media's collective silent coverage seems to have a special flavor.

Lin Dong can roughly guess some reasons, but it is nothing more than that the Japan Basketball Association is obstructing it, trying to block the understanding of himself by all basketball circles in order to "lower his expectations for the future" and facilitate the Japanese Basketball Association to naturalize him.

Half a month ago, Lin Dong might have been troubled by this.

But thanks to the eagerness for quick success, I came into contact with Sakuragi Hanamichi during this period.

Don't be happy with things and don't be sad with yourself. Under the calm state of mind, a stronger soul is brewed.

The practice of mental state is also a kind of improvement.

Just make peace with what you have come, and no matter how the outside world changes, it will not have any impact on you.

What is supposed to come will eventually come, so how can the Japan Basketball Association stop it by just making some small moves?

After completing the national competition first, we found Stephen who had wandered to an unknown place, and also welcomed Coach Kitano.

Then learn more about the background of this world basketball through Kitano Shoichi or Anzai Mitsuyoshi.

It is undoubtedly much better to plan for your future after you have enough knowledge.

You have to eat the meal one bite at a time and just walk through it step by step.

…………

On August 1st, a grand opening ceremony of the summer league was held in the stadium. 59 teams attended, making Xiangyang inconspicuous among them.

Various broadcast shots aimed at Sanno Industries made Akino Amamiya sneer again and again, who was already very dissatisfied with this aspect.

On August 2, the first round of the war began.

Under the leadership of coach Anxi, Xiangyang watched two games.

One match was between Toyotama and Qingfeng in the morning, and the other match was between Daiei Academy and Aiwa Academy in the afternoon.

Qingfeng was originally a team in the first round, but Toyotama's running and gunning style was able to shine. The score of 135:72 became the largest point difference in the more than 20 games in the entire morning.

In the afternoon, Da Rong College faced off against last year's top four Aihe College, which became the biggest focus of the first day of competition.

The aces on both sides lived up to expectations and played extremely gorgeous personal performances, dragging the game into overtime twice.

Zhu Xingda personally scored 51 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals.

The opposite Jun Tsuchiya scored an even more exaggerated 62 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, and 6 steals.

In the end, Daei College defeated Aihe Star with its physical strength in the second overtime, and played a 9:0 wave at the end, defeating Aihe College with an 8-point advantage.

Thanks to its favorable reputation, Darong College has gained a lot of limelight in the media and has become the focus of many teams.

Only everyone in Xiangyang, after watching the game, really couldn't arouse much interest in these two teams.

It’s really not an underestimation.

Fujima and others can see that both Tsuchiya Jun and Morohoshi are obviously players in the same class as Maki Nobuichi, and they are definitely national competition star level.

But the problem is...for a team that relies on one person to drive the entire team's offensive and defensive systems, it is really difficult for everyone in Xiangyang to feel the slightest threat.

After all, the best player in Japan right now is in Xiangyang!

August 3rd, 3 minutes past 11am.

A high-speed train stopped at the platform of Hiroshima Station.

"Make it! Give it! Please give it! The locomotive is coming!" A big red-haired man holding large and small bags in his hands happily squeezed in front and drove.

"Yingmu-san, just give me your bag. You are carrying things and clearing the way..." Lin Tianhai followed him. Seeing that he was carrying and squeezing, but he was empty-handed, he felt a little embarrassed. This is still a child.

"Oh, it doesn't matter! Uncle, just follow me with your empty hands, and be careful not to fall! I'm so strong, I can't even feel anything when I lift this thing!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said, while simply holding at least twenty or thirty He twisted his heavy backpack over his head and said proudly in the crowd: "Look! Carry it as you like!"

The swaggering movements attracted the attention of many people around, and Lin Tianhai was also dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, you can mention it! Come this way, let's not squeeze in the minibus. Let's take a taxi and go to the hotel first."

"okay!"

Lin Tianhai pointed in the direction, and Sakuragi Hanamichi squeezed out all the way. When he got to the roadside at the station entrance, he was about to call for a taxi, but a black Toyota car had already stopped in front of him.

I probably came here to take the high-speed rail, but this car looks quite luxurious.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Tianhai both subconsciously stepped aside a little.

The car door opened, and the driver wearing white gloves got out of the car first, walked around to the back door of the car, and opened the door.

An old man walked out of the car door and smiled at Lin Tianhai: "President Lin, we meet again."

Lin Tianhai was slightly startled.

He knew the old man in front of him, he was no ordinary person... Frankly speaking, although Lin Tianhai knew him, he had only met him once at a large corporate meeting when he first reported to the Tokyo branch.

He really didn't expect that the other party actually remembered his name.

"Managing director of China and the West, what are you..."

"I happened to be in Hiroshima, and I learned about President Lin's itinerary, so I came to pick you up specially." The old man smiled and stepped aside a little, while the driver wearing white gloves had already ran over to pick up Sakuragi Hanadao. Baggage in the car: "Get in the car and talk, I'll take you to the hotel."

There is another chapter in the evening, the day must not be cut off
