As soon as the match between Shohoku and Tsukutake started, Chen Zhao caught Tsukutake off guard with steals and assists.

In the first five minutes, Xiangbei already led 23:4.

Chen Zhao contributed 7 steals and 5 assists.

But then it’s Mitsui Hisashi’s time to show off.

The reason Tsukutake has become a traditional strong team is because the head coach Kazumi Kawasaki is good at discovering the characteristics of players.

The best feature of this current generation of students is shooting three-pointers.

Both captain Godai Tomokazu and super rookie Nango Koichiro have good three-point shooting percentages.

This, of course, touched Mitsui's inverse scale, and Mitsui exploded.

He used his own body to engage in a three-point battle with the entire Tsujiuwu.

If you can make one shot, I will make two for you; if you make two, I will make four. The famous three-pointer in the county was killed by Hisashi Mitsui.

Hisashi Mitsui only played 18 minutes in the first half.

As a result, he made 16 three-pointers, scored 48 points, had 4 steals and 3 rebounds, becoming the most watched person in the game.

Then he was replaced as tired as a dead dog.

When he came off the field, the audience stood up and applauded to pay him the greatest tribute.

In the end, Shohoku defeated Tsukutake 116:72 and entered the quarterfinals to face Xiangyang.

Throughout the game, the three strong teams in the county, Hainan, Xiangyang and Lingnan, paid close attention.

After the game, Xiangyang's captain and coach Fujima Kenji looked solemn. He said to his teammates: "We must take this team seriously and go all out! Only in order to defeat this dark horse!"

Hanagata Toru: "I will suppress Akagi."

Hasegawa Kazushi: "I will lock Mitsui."

Nagano and Takano said together: "We will never let those two first-year students run rampant!"

June 14th, Sunday, is a very important day.

This day is the day when the four major seed teams in Kanagawa officially appear.

As last year's runner-up and a frequent visitor to national competitions, the Xiangyang basketball team is well-known in the county and can attract enough fans.

What's more, they also have a super-popular star player, Kenji Fujima, who is extremely handsome, making men look pale, and women look pale, and his playing skills are outstanding in the prefecture.

This is enough for Xiangyang fans to fill the entire basketball stadium.

There are actually two popular celebrities in Shobei.

Chen Zhao is now 176cm tall, and he attracts everyone like a jewel, while Rukawa Kaede also attracts people's attention with his handsome and cool temperament.

The number of Miyagi Mikoto and Rukawa Mikoto are also increasing day by day, and they are numerous, but when compared with Fujima's fans, they pale in comparison and are not worth mentioning.

After all, Fujima has been famous for more than two years, while Chen Zhao and Rukawa have only been famous for a month or two.

As for the other three main players in Xiangbei, their fans are counted in single digits.

Looking at Xiangyang's support group, their uniforms are neat, their lineups are neat, and their cheering voices are equally uniform. However, Xiangbei's fans are all mixed up, completely submerged in the vast sea of ​​people from the other side.

Looking at the players from both sides playing below, Mito Yohei couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many players from Shoyo! Look at Shohoku... ugh!"

Danan said: "Not only are there many people in Xiangyang, but they are all very tall. Hanamichi is among them, and they are all small!"

Noma said hey: "Why am I so happy when I have the opportunity to see Hanamichi collapse in front of a tall man?"

Takamiya smiled and said: "I am looking forward to this moment very much..."

…

When Chen Zhao walked onto the court, he glanced at the opposite side and was surprised to find that Kenji Fujima was also on the field.

That’s right!

Judging from the fact that Shohoku defeated Reinan in the practice match and made great progress in the prefectural competition, Shoyang, people like Hanagata and Nagano may look down on Shohoku, but Fujima definitely won't.

He should know the strength of Xiandao, so he can also think of the strength of Xiangbei.

At the same time, a whole team stood at the top of a staircase in the stands.

The team leader was obviously a "middle-aged man". Looking at the scene on the court, a smile appeared on his lips: "Fujima is on the field. It seems that they feel the pressure of Shohoku!"

A tall and handsome young man next to him asked: "Captain, Fujima appears, which side do you think has a greater chance of winning!"

Mu Shenyi pondered for a while and said: "I have never seen through the true strength of Shobei No. 7 Miyagi Ryota. His performance will affect the outcome of this game..."

"Miyagi Ryota?" A young man like a wild monkey sneered: "I heard that he was only 168cm a few months ago. In just a few months, he actually grew to 176cm. No wonder he is very popular with girls!"

Everyone else laughed and said nothing.

While talking, the game begins.

With a "bang" sound, Akagi pressed the flower shape and swatted the ball far away.

Chen Zhao sighed, grabbed the basketball before it went out of bounds, and began to direct the attack.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart: "Akagi is a little too excited today."

…

"Akagi is a little too excited today."

Another group of people occupied the stairwell of another grandstand, and the leader, the Great Ape King, said.

"After all, the opponent is Xiangyang, so it's natural for Captain Akagi to be a little nervous," Ikegami said.

Next to him, a tall man with spiky hair, Sendō Akira, smiled slightly and said nothing.

At this time, Chen Zhao dribbled the ball with his right hand and moved forward unhurriedly.

Since we are in a positional battle, we should follow the tactics arranged by the coach.

Everyone comes to play, giving Akagi space to play singles.

Akagi reached the position on the left outside of the three-second zone, caught the ball coming from the ground, and tried his defensive strength by squeezing in, then suddenly exerted his force and hit directly.

This is a one-on-one duel between the core players of the two teams.

Unexpectedly, Hanagata "fleeed without fighting" and actually took two steps back. Akagi failed to stop him, and the result...

"Beep~", the referee blew the whistle, Xiangbei No. 4, a walking foul.

In the stands, the Great Ape King Uozumi frowned: "What did Akagi do? How could he make such a stupid mistake?"

"That's because he is eager to win!" Coach Shigeichi Tagoka, who was standing in the C position, said: "Hanagata is indeed the representative of flexible center, and he is very good at dealing with Akagi."

Yuzhu said nothing.

Offensive and defensive shifts.

Chen Zhao was not in a hurry to steal the ball.

He wants to see Xiangyang's style of play.

Xiangyang's first attack method is exactly the same as Xiangbei's, with all members attacking, leaving room for Hanagata to attack in singles.

Hanagata leaned on Akagi to catch the ball, and also leaned inward. Then, using his right foot as the axis, he turned 180 degrees and became directly facing Akagi's defense. At the same time, he raised the ball and tapped it lightly.

Akagi didn't dare to take a look at it, and his center of gravity moved slightly upward. Hanagata was waiting for this moment, and suddenly jumped high, pulled up on the spot, and jumped backwards.

"I absolutely cannot lose!"
Chapter completed!
