NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The time came to June 6th, 20:9 am~ Area A of the County Gymnasium.

"Finally! We finally made it here! For the first time in three years... we have the power to challenge the Hainan University Affiliated School!"

The gorilla Akagi Takenori was sitting in the locker room with his upper body naked.

At the same time, in Hainan's locker room, a man who had just finished warming up was sitting with his upper body naked - Shinichi Maki.

Akagi looked at his teammates in the locker room, his deep gaze filled with hope as vast as the stars and the sea.

It was this group of teammates that gave him the opportunity to challenge the number one player in Kanagawa!

“Do you think Hainan is sacred and inviolable?”

"Do you think their strength is beyond our reach?"

"This is indeed the case judging from past results. The gap between us and Hainan is huge."

"But I... I keep imagining this day coming every night before I go to sleep, imagining our Xiangbei and Kanagawa's champion Kainan competing for the right to participate in the college league!"

"Every night I imagine...what it would feel like to defeat Hainan!"

"Must win!"

At this time, Hanamichi took over the conversation and said what Akagi wanted to say the most: "Defeat Hainan!"

Coach Anxi also asked at the right time:

"Do you want to win?"

"Oh x5".

"Then remember, you are the strongest!"

……

The much-anticipated Kanagawa United Finals has finally begun!

In the County Gymnasium, Area A is where Shohoku plays against Kainan, while Area B is where Ryonan plays against Buri.

These four teams will compete for two national qualification spots in this venue!

Early in the morning, the gymnasium was filled with basketball fans, reporters and basketball players from other colleges and universities.

Compared to the match between Ryonan and Buri which has already started in Zone B, they sat in Zone A to see whether the champion Hainan can defend the county championship for 17 consecutive years.

Or maybe it's a dark horse~Can Xiangbei continue to be a dark horse and defeat Hainan after defeating Shoyo?

"set off!"

Led by Akagi, all members of the Xiangbei basketball team slowly walked out of the locker room.

Entering the stadium from the tunnel, their appearance aroused cheers from the audience.

At the same time, in another channel, the Hainan team, led by Shinichi Maki, also came on the field.

The oppressive aura from both sides made other college basketball players and industry insiders in the stands sweat profusely.

Miuratai's captain Murasame looked at Kainan and Shohoku on the court and said solemnly:

"Damn it, I didn't expect these two teams to be so strong. Just their momentum alone makes me feel uncomfortable!"

The spectators watching the game could not see the tense atmosphere; they just cheered for their favorite team.

Some people like Xiangbei. They play in a gorgeous style and each of the starting players has unique characteristics.

Especially their first-year duo this year. After Yayoi Aida's extensive coverage in the newspapers, many people who had not paid much attention to the Xiangbei basketball team before rushed here today to see with their own eyes how powerful these two duos are.

It is worth noting that one of the uncles was also sitting in the audience and waved towards Hanamichi.

"(Sakuragi) Hanamichi, you've finally made it this far!"

"17 years ago, the Hainan University Affiliated School narrowly defeated our Minowa High School, which led to the start of their 16-year title defense."

"For so many years, no team has been able to dethrone them. I really hope that today you, Shohoku, can lift this mountain that is weighing on the Kanagawa high school basketball world!"

"Brother, Hanamichi, come on!"

This is a blessing from Haruko Akagi.

"Come on! Hanamichi, this is your first game in the joint tournament, you must perform well!"

This is the cheering of the Sakuragi Army!

"Xiao San! x3."

"Rukawa Kaede~Rukawa Kaede~LOVE~Rukawa Kaede".

……

Xiangyang's flower shape was speechless for a while:

"The Xiangbei cheerleading team is still so bad!"

But Hainan's Kiyota Nobunaga couldn't stand it anymore, after all, there were more spectators cheering for the Shohoku basketball team than Hainan.

So he stepped forward and challenged Rukawa and Hanamichi:

"The strongest newcomers in Kanagawa this year are definitely not you two, that's because of the existence of my master Kiyota Nobunaga!"

After saying that, he took a basketball and walked to the middle of the two teams, and started showing off his skillful dribbling skills on the court!

Although Hanamichi knew about the existence of this wild monkey, like Rukawa Kaede, he had never formally met the wild monkey Kiyota Nobunaga.

(Rukawa Kaede was completely late for the junior high school finals, so he did not play against Kiyota Nobunaga).

Seeing that Rukawa and Hanamichi on the opposite side ignored him, Kiyota Nobunaga didn't think that it was his dribbling that scared them.

Instead, I felt that these two people didn't take me seriously at all and were ignoring me.

So he simply changed from dribbling in place to dribbling towards the basket on the Xiangbei side.

Soon, Qingtian reached the basket, took a step forward, and jumped high.

It looked like he was going to complete a one-arm slam dunk to give Xiangbei a warning.

And when Kiyota Nobunaga dribbled past Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi, the two followed him.

Not to mention going for a slam dunk, even if it's going to celebrate a birthday, he will never be allowed to succeed.

Hanamichi and Rukawa jumped one after the other, following Kiyota.

The three men jumped high. Hanamichi was faster and hit Kiyota Nobunaga's slam dunk onto the backboard.

Rukawa Kaede used the basketball that bounced off the backboard to complete a difficult impromptu dunk in the air!

After the three men landed, they were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in!

Aida Yayoi said in shock:

"Today's high school students are so scary!"

The intern reporter Nakamura was seeing this kind of scene for the first time. Sitting not far from the basketball hoop, he was so frightened by the aura between the three men that he was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he finally spoke tremblingly:

"Ms. Aida... they... won't fight!"

As a veteran basketball fan, Yayoi Aida knows very well that it is impossible to fight!

This is just a competition between three newcomers. To be honest, it’s just a show of attention.

But the speed, jumping, agility, strength, and dribbling they demonstrated, there is no doubt that these three freshmen have reached the first-class or even top level in the county.

After the two captains bumped fists as a friendly gesture, the game began immediately.

湘北这边首发队员仍然是：4号中锋赤木刚宪（197cm）、10号大前锋（樱木）花道（194.5cm）、11号小前锋流川枫（187cm）、14号得分后卫三井寿（184cm）、7号控球后卫宫城良田（168cm）。

海南队首发球员是：4号控球后卫兼前锋牧绅一（184cm）、5号中锋高砂一马（191cm）、6号得分后卫神宗一郎（189cm）、9号大前锋武藤正（184cm）、10号小前锋清田信长（178cm）。

After the two teams stood together for comparison, the spectators all noticed it and started discussing that the players of the Hainan team were not as physically fit as the players of the Xiangbei team and questioned the strength of the Hainan team.

The Sakuragi Army even directly defined it as follows:

"Hainan doesn't look that strong! The strongest player is a size smaller than the gorilla and Hanamichi!"

Hainan team coach Gao Tou sat confidently in his seat, holding up his folding fan to hide his smile:

"We in Hainan have never had any geniuses!"
