NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Chapter 72: Fierce Competition

Coach Anzai's old friend is Coach Kitano, who advocates the "Run and Gun" style of play.

"I never thought that you would be the one to complete the last link of my [Run and Gun Tactics]! Anxi, 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 my god, it's really my good luck to meet him..."

Coach Anzai was also happy and clinked his teacup with Coach Kitano.

"So, on the day of the competition, 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. We should give it a new name!"

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

"You are still the same..."

…………

On August 8, Xiangbei defeated Kadabashi High School in Oita Prefecture 4:95;

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

Ryonan defeated Shimanami Gakuen in Nagasaki 98:74.

So far, all three teams from Kanagawa have reached the national quarterfinals.

According to the ranking of the teams in the division, the top eight teams in the country 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 8, the eye-catching competition from the top 5 to the semi-finals will begin.

The most eye-catching of these four games is the match between Sannoh and Hainan.

One of them has been the national champion for three consecutive years, and the other is a veteran top four team, so the competition is bound to be very intense.

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

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

They want to know how far this “strongest newcomer” can go in his first national competition and what amazing performances he will have.

The audience said:

"From the current perspective, the top 8 is not his limit!"

As for Xiangbei and Ryonan...

"Ha! They are lucky to be able to make it to the top eight in the country!"

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

"As for Xiangbei, they just took advantage of the schedule. There are no strong teams in the division!"

"They won't be so lucky in the next round. Qiuyue High School was one of the top eight teams in the last round!"

The facts are just as most viewers expected:

Hainan lost to Sannoh 87:75 and was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Uncle Mu scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, but it was still hard to save the team!

Although Hainan has undergone systematic training under the strict guidance of Coach Takato this year, it has successfully broken through Sanno Industrial's full-court press on the court.

But in terms of player strength, they still lost to Sanno.

Maki Shinichi watched the team gradually fall behind and had no choice but to catch up with the points with A Shen.

However, his own team's inside line was completely destroyed. To this, Hanamichi could only say silently: Let's have another National Games in the autumn!

Shohoku was "lucky" and defeated Tokyo's Akizuki High School 89:69, becoming the first team to advance to the national semi-finals. They were generally considered by the audience to be the weakest team in this semi-final!

What was beyond everyone's expectations was that Ryonan narrowly defeated Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School 78:75.

Jun Uozumi, the giant center of the Ryonan team, who is one of the only two players in the country with a height of over 2 meters, successfully dunked the ball in the final frontcourt rebound battle.

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

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

With his help, the Ryonan team started a fierce confrontation with the militarized Hakata Corporation from the very beginning.

After undergoing militarized management, each of Bodosho's players is like a mechanized player produced on an assembly line.

They are omnipotent and yet capable of nothing. Their offense and defense are first-rate but they lack spirituality.

There is no national top-level player in the team, but Boda Shang has 11 such first-class players on the roster.

In previous years, Bodosho defeated their opponents by relying on their strong substitute lineup and precise, mechanical team passing and cutting.

But this time he met Sendo and several other powerful players of the Ryonan team.

The Ryonan team stole the show by defeating last year's runner-up.

Except for the Giant Yuzumi's tip-in dunk.

Sendoh also became famous in this game.

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

The people from the Sports Committee gave him a very high evaluation that exceeded the statistics, saying that his performance had surpassed Shinichi Maki.

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

As for who is better, it’s hard to say since we haven’t faced each other yet.

Ikebana means:

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Sendoh won't be able to match up with Fukatsu Issei this time!"

Because they will be the ones fighting against Sannoh next!

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

In fact, the overall strength of Dayong College is above that of Mingpeng Industry.

Their team captain, the 190cm tall No. 4 organizing power forward Jun Tsuchiya, is known as "a tall and powerful command tower" with amazing speed, accurate and timely passes, a cool head, good jumping ability, and precise shooting.

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

Throughout the game, Daiei Academy focused on Jun Tsuchiya and launched attacks in an orderly manner.

However, after being seen through by the alcoholic coach of Meiho Industries, Jun Tsuchiya was closely guarded by Shigehiro Mori in the second half.

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

Ultimately, the team fell in the quarterfinals due to lack of firepower and inability to stop Mori Shigehiro's scoring.

At this point, the top four teams are born:

No. 1 Sanno Industrial, No. 30 Shohoku High School, No. 43 Ryonan High School, No. 60 Meiho Industrial.

At 8:6 am on August 8, the match between Ryonan High School and Meiho Industries will begin;

At 10:00 am, the match between Sanno Industrial and Shohoku High School will begin.

Early in the morning, Xiangbei and Ryonan met in the stadium, but one team walked towards the audience stands while the other team was preparing to go to the locker room to change clothes and warm up.

"Yuzumi, you better try your best next time. Don't lose to that first-year kid!"

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

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

Uozumi 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 we can stop or limit him from scoring after receiving the ball... then..."

"Double-team from the front!"

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-notch center in the country! Coach, please leave this task to me. I also need Ikegami's help!"

Yuzumi took on the "meat shield" mission without hesitation, and took Ikegami away as well!

"Haha, let us two third-year seniors help out for the juniors once again~ After all, there won't be many more times!"

No one expected Chi Shang's sudden sentimentality.

"Ryonan~Come on x13!"

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

According to Akagi, he will settle the score with Ryonan (Uozumi) on the final stage of the national competition!
