On the field, both sides were doing simple warm-up exercises.

The players patted the team one by one for layups to maintain the feel.

Akagi stood under the basket and passed the ball to them one by one.

"Please be careful, we are not here for fun!"

"yes!"

Ozushiba looked at the fighting Shohoku.

"Don't be too nervous, otherwise you will collapse from exhaustion later. Don't forget, we have a total of three practice matches."

Akagi snorted coldly.

"You'd better take care of yourself!"

Before the game.

Akagi is making the final arrangements.

"Listen, the opponent is very strong. I don't think I need to say more about what the level of the top eight in the country represents. Although we Shohoku defeated Kainan, it is our first time to participate in the national competition and we still have too little experience against strong teams. Yes! This practice match is a very good opportunity for us to accumulate experience, everyone must seize it!"

"yes!"

Akagi nodded and looked at Kitagawa.

"Kitagawa, in this game, you focus on defense at the basket, and leave the offense to Miyagi to connect!"

Akagi also thought carefully about this arrangement. Changcheng High School's inside line is not strong. If Kitagawa is allowed to act recklessly under the basket, he will lose the opportunity to practice in this game.

Moreover, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Akagi understands very well that Shohoku can rely on Kitagawa in a life or death situation, but he cannot rely on Kitagawa alone!

They still need to develop more offensive methods!

No team can have too many tactical reserves.

At the beginning of the practice match, Akagi jumped the ball, and Shohoku easily won the ball. However, they did not start a fast break immediately, but prepared to play a positional battle with Chang Cheng!

In the main game, they can seize the opponent's weaknesses and attack fiercely, but in practice, they still focus on discovering their own shortcomings!

Shohoku slowly advanced, and Kitagawa activated his long-awaited earth-bound spirit mode and stayed safely under his own basket.

"What do you mean? Does Shohoku look down on us?"

"There is still one person left to defend under the basket. Shohoku is too arrogant!"

Mikoshiba was also furious. After all, they were also a national top eight team. How could Shohoku, a team that had just entered the national competition, have the right to look down on them!

"Listen, I don't care if this is a practice match or not, in short, this match will hurt us by more than 100 points!"

Mikoshiba was furious, he wanted to teach Shohoku an impressive lesson!

"yes!"

For a time, Changcheng High School's momentum was high.

When Miyagi faced the guard of No. 5 point guard Chang Cheng, he suddenly changed hands from behind and immediately chose to force a breakthrough!

However, due to Shohoku's numerical disadvantage on the offensive end, Dangcheng has sufficient manpower to help defend.

Soon, Miyagi fell into a state of being flanked from both sides!

As a last resort, Miyagi had no choice but to distribute the ball and pass it to Akagi under the basket. This is Shohoku's usual style of passing the ball to the center without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Akagi turned around and dunked!

Chang Cheng's center took off to block the shot. At the same time, Mikoshiba threw away Kaede Rukawa and rushed to the basket. He jumped out from behind Akagi and gave him a nail-biting block!

"too naive!"

Mikoshiba is so arrogant, Shohoku actually wants to score so easily, it is simply a daydream!

After grabbing the ball, Ozushiba quickly went to Shohoku's basket.

Looking at Kitagawa under the basket, Ozushiba's eyes sparkled.

"Boy, I'll let you know the price of underestimating us!"

He has already thought about how to play with Shohoku's No. 12 under the basket. Although he looks very tall, he has a lot of trouble with tall players!

"Where does this guy get so popular?"

Kitagawa was speechless. It was just a practice match. Looking at Mikoshiba's expression, it felt like he was playing in the finals of a national competition.

After Mikoshiba stepped into the penalty area, he jumped directly, intending to kill Kitagawa directly in the air!

"Come on! Ozu Shiba!"

"come on!"

In the Chang Cheng rest area, everyone was cheering for Ozu Chai.

Seeing the basketball approaching the basket and about to succeed, Kitagawa jumped sharply, and his huge body stood directly in front of Mikoshiba like a dark cloud!

Mikoshiba didn't look panicked at all, and even had a victorious smile on his lips.

He changed hands instantly in the air, bypassed Kitagawa's defense and put the ball into the basket.

"Wow! Come on, come on, Shishi Chai's best hand changes hands for a layup!"

"Haha, I don't know how many big men have been defeated by this move!"

"Look, Shohoku, this is the strength of the ace of the top eight teams in the country!"

However, before Chang Cheng could be happy for too long, Kitagawa in the air relied on his super reaction ability to instantly use his right hand to cover up the defense when the air defense with his left hand was bypassed!

'Snapped'!

A loud, big fire pot completely capped the Ozu Shiba!

"What!"

Mikoshiba exclaimed.

The basketball flew out of my hand and fell directly into the hands of Kaede Rukawa, who had just returned.

Then Kaede Rukawa made a beautiful long pass, passed Chang Cheng's personnel in an instant, and threw the ball to Akagi in the midfield position!

At this time, Chang Cheng's defense at the basket was empty. Akagi took big strides and rushed into Chang Cheng's basket. He raised the basketball with both hands and hit the basket with a slam dunk!

With a 'bang' sound, the smash was completed!

Shohoku, score first!

Mikoshiba stared at Kitagawa with an ugly expression. Faced with this level of attack, Kitagawa couldn't even get interested, and even breathed out of boredom.

To be honest, Mikoshiba's strength is quite good, but this year's Kanagawa is at a hellish level of difficulty. Every team in the prefecture, including Kainan, Shoyo, and Ryonan, has a level above the top eight in the country, and his defense is also Just the top offensive players in the country like Shinichi Maki and Sendoh.

Mikoshiba's offensive ability at the basket seems too weak compared to them.

"Damn you kid, don't think you're going to feel proud just because you stopped me from scoring a goal!"

Ozushiba was furious after losing face, and Kitagawa's indifferent attitude made him even more furious.

"Oh, then senior, please work hard!"

Kitagawa waved his hand boredly.

The coach of Changcheng High School saw clearly from the sidelines. He finally understood why Shohoku was able to enter the national competition as the No. 1 seed this year. With such an iron-clad center on the inside, it would be weird not to win!

"It seems that this year's Shohoku did not win by luck!"

Next, Mikoshiba used his strength again. After passing Kaede Rukawa and Akagi in succession, he invaded the basket again!

No matter what he said today, he had to slam Kitagawa on the head to relieve the hatred in his heart!

But what greeted him was still Kitagawa’s merciless hot pot!

Shohoku counterattacked and scored again!

In the next ten minutes, Kitagawa made Chang Cheng High School see with his own eyes what absolute defense means! No matter how Chang Cheng attacks, he cannot escape the fate of being blocked in the end!

In the end, Shohoku won the first practice match with a score of 53-0!

This game also made Chang Cheng underestimate his own weaknesses. They lacked outside shooters and were restrained by Shohoku's style of play. They were unable to fight back throughout the whole process!

And Mikoshiba was even more fooled into doubting his life. Originally, he was very ambitious today!

The coach of Changcheng High School really wanted to stop this joint training, but every time he thought about Coach Anzai, he had to bite the bullet and continue, which was very painful.

One day, when Shohoku was training at his usual pace, an uninvited guest came to the gym.

"Hey, Ayako, long time no see."

The familiar voice made Ayako's head jump. Looking at the girl wearing Shohoku school uniform with short purple hair, Ayako said angrily.

"Mari? You are really haunted!"

The visitor is none other than the president of Shohoku News Agency, Mari!

After Shohoku successfully entered the national competition, Kawai Mari wanted to grasp first-hand news and made a request to interview the Shohoku players. Unfortunately, Ayako ruthlessly rejected the request. The reason was that in order to prepare for the national competition, the team members needed to be interviewed every day. My training schedule is very tight and I have no time.

Kawai Mari naturally refused to do it, but anyway, Ayako had the final say in all the daily affairs of the basketball team, which made Kawai Mari hate it but could do nothing about it.

Finally, she found out from the school that Shohoku was going to Changcheng High School in Shizuoka for a joint training, so she went to all the trouble and chased him over, planning to seize him with one hand.

After all, I have come here, you can’t drive me away!

"I heard that you are going to play three practice matches with Changcheng High School. How about we don't lose too hard and ruin our Shohoku's reputation~~"

As the president of a news agency and a leading reporter, she knows how to extract information that is useful to her.

Sure enough, Ayako didn't think much about it at all. After listening to the angry words of his rival, he directly responded.

"Hoho, that disappoints you. In the first game, we defeated Changcheng High School without a clean sheet. The young men in our team are very impressive!"

·Please give me flowers…………

"Oh? Is that so? Then I guess you missed it because the main players from Changcheng High School were not available. You must know that they were the top eight in the country last year. If all the main players were available, could they have kept a clean sheet for you? I don't believe it!"

Kawai Mari asked with a sly expression.

"Hmph! Chang Cheng, of course, had all his main players on board. Not only that, even Ozu Shiba gave his best. Unfortunately, he still lost to Kitagawa. In the whole game, Ozu Shiba was blocked twenty-three times by Kitagawa! "

Ayako looked proud.

When Kawai Mari heard this, her eyes instantly lit up. Chang Cheng was at full strength, Mikoshiba was at full fire, and Kitagawa was blocking. These key words instantly made a short essay of no less than 10,000 words flow in her mind.

"Oh? Kitagawa? Is that the Shohoku rookie who was heavily reported by Basketball Weekly? Is he really that good? I don't believe it!"

Kawai Mari's suspicious expression immediately made Ayako furious, and the woman's competitive spirit was instantly aroused.

"Kitagawa! Kitagawa, where did you go, kid?"

Ayako suddenly shouted.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Kitagawa, who was practicing on the sidelines, was stunned when he heard this. What happened to Ayako-senpai today? Are you angry for a long time?

"Come here, come here!"

Ayako waved, and when Kitagawa came to them, he immediately patted Kitagawa on the back and said in a show-off manner.

"Well, he is Kitagawa, our main ace in Shohoku! Even Kainan's Shinichi Maki and Ryonan Sendoh's fish pillar were defeated by him!"

Kawai Mari looked Kitagawa up and down, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Well, the young man has outstanding looks and is good at playing basketball. This news will definitely break out!

Finally, Kawai Mari showed her fox tail.

"Hello Kitagawa-san, I am Kawai Mari, a reporter from Shohoku Broadcasting and Television. We are doing a report about the basketball team. As for the protagonist, of course you are. We hope to report everything about Kitagawa-san to the whole school. Could you please cooperate?"

Kawai Mari opens her big eyes and looks coquettish

expression, but my heart keeps chuckling, I am just a first-grade kid, I don’t believe you can block my charm!

Upon hearing this, Ayako immediately shouted that she had been deceived. Kawai Mari, this little bitch, was still so cunning and tricked her. But now that the person involved is still here, it is not easy for her to do it Kitagawa

Lord!

"Don't agree! Don't agree! Don't agree!"

Ayako kept praying in her heart.

Kawai Mari looked proudly and glanced at the two assistants behind him who were responsible for filming. The two of them immediately gestured "OK" and then pointed the camera at Kitagawa.

In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, he said calmly.

"I do not want!"

"Okay, then what happens next...what did you say?"

Kawai Mari suspected that she was hearing hallucinations and looked at Kitagawa in disbelief.

Kitagawa glanced at Kawai Mari and said word by word.

"I do not want!"

To be honest, he has no interest in being famous at all, because he knows that the greater the fame, the greater the trouble. The most obvious thing is that since the last make-up exam, the knowledge he studied was exposed.

After becoming gifted, the probability that the teacher will call on his name during class will increase infinitely!

He couldn't even sleep peacefully, it was really troublesome!

"you.....!"

Kawai Mari's hands shook with anger.

Kitagawa glanced at Ayako.

"Senior, are you okay? I'll go practice if you're okay."

Ayako was very satisfied with Kitagawa's performance and almost smiled.

"Go, go, work hard, you know!"

"oh!"

After Kitagawa left, Ayako showed a gloating expression.

"What a pity, Mari, it seems that you can't complete your mission!"

Kawai Mari clenched her fists tightly. Kitagawa's nonchalant look directly stimulated her self-esteem, but Ayako was still there, and she must not show any flaws, so she spoke harshly.

said.

"Huh! This little kid in the first grade doesn't understand anything at all. Don't think that he is the only one in our radio and television club!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kaede Rukawa coming in from the door. Kawai Mari immediately set his sights on Kaede Rukawa, as this year's most anticipated super rookie and Shohoku

One of the two aces, being able to interview him is considered a mission accomplished!

"Kaede Rukawa, Kaede Rukawa Hello, I am..."

Before she finished speaking, Kaede Rukawa didn't even look at her and walked directly past him!

Kawai Mari: “....

She hates the basketball team!.
