Turning his head and looking at Yokota Middle School, who was cheering for victory on the other side of the half, Rukawa Kaede felt very uncomfortable.

"It's okay! You are all still young and still have a chance!"

The coach of Fuqiu Middle School tried to comfort the losers.

It would be fine if I didn't say it, but when I said it, some team members could no longer suppress their emotions, and tears mixed with sweat fell onto the floor.

Rukawa Kaede looked at his teammates who were crying and strengthened his determination to make himself stronger.

As the ace, Rukawa Kaede enjoys the most ball rights in Tokui Middle School and the majority of shots, but he is also the player who conceded the most goals in this game.

Most of the ball handling in Toki Middle School is done by Rukawa Kaede. Rukawa Kaede feels that he is mainly responsible for the team's defeat.

"Go! Go back!"

The coach's words rang out again, and the dejected Fuqiu Middle School walked back to its lounge amid the cheers of the audience! Although they didn't know if the cheer was for themselves.

"Rukawa Kaede! You are awakening in advance and don't know how much you will bring Xiangbei!"

Tian Ye recalled Rukawa Kaede's playing style at the last moment of the game. He was obviously no longer a lone wolf, and he would have a year of growth before entering high school. By that time, his strength would probably be far from being as easy to deal with now!

"Okay! We're back, and there are still many games waiting for us next!"

After calming down, Tianye said to his teammates who were immersed in the joy of victory! Now that the biggest dark horse of the year has been defeated, the remaining opponents are even worse than Fuqiu Middle School. This is good news for Yokota, which means that Yokota Middle School will have a lot of games to temper their 1.2-grade players in the next.

On the national stage, you can't walk far without enough bench depth under back-to-back battles. Tian Ye had already understood this situation last year! Tian Ye thought he could turn the tide with his own strength, but the facts proved that he still couldn't do it.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot win a team. This is also the receipt received by Rukawa Kaede today!

Three days later………

early morning!

Rukawa Kaede was practicing football alone in the park, thinking about the figure who had only played for 10 minutes in the game yesterday.

The prefecture competition in the National Middle School is almost over. Yesterday, Rukawa Kaede watched another match between Yokota and the other semi-finals schools in a familiar way! The captain of Yokota Middle School took the field yesterday. It took only 8 minutes to widen the gap to 17 points, and directly defeated the opponent's mentality.

The remaining time of the game became the time for Yokota Middle School to train troops. Substitutes took turns to play, and finally won 74:61!

"Shimiya Tianno!"

The influence of Rukawa Kaede on Tian Ye was still the same year before. When Rukawa Kaede was still in the first grade, he saw the magazine that Tian Ye appeared on the first grade. His understanding of Tian Ye's strength was still on paper. Even when his team fought with Tokui Middle School, No. 4 did not play.

I really understand Tano's strength during yesterday's game, and after that, Shimiamidae often becomes Rukawa Kaede's imaginary enemy when Rukawa Kaede is training.

"hateful!"

"Bang!"

Rukawa Kaede ravaged the park's basket and vented his dissatisfaction.

…………

As expected, Yokota Middle School was still the one who won the victory. All the schools that blocked the road were cleared. In these competitions, Tianye only chose to attend dozens of minutes, mainly to maintain a competitive state!

After the county competition is over, there will be a window period. The time for each region to complete the selection competition is different. The national competition will not start until all regions complete the competition.

Yokota Middle School Gymnasium, Yokota Basketball Team is in the team practice game!

"Run! Run! Give me a quicker pass and catch the ball. Don't relax your running position and keep space! What do you do when you are crowded in the inside line? Do you know how to keep space? Keep space!"

On the side of the court, Tian Ye is directing the players to train. The previous team played in a 32 formation, and there was no dominant center in the interior, so in order to ensure the inside defense and rebounding ability, the center and power forward will be placed into the interior.

However, with Yokota Middle School now having a center forward like Kusato, the conservative battle formation system is no longer applicable. A power forward who is not strong enough to enter the infield will not only not help Kusato, but will instead affect Kusato's activity space.

Originally, Caowei had a one-on-one space, but once he added a player to the inside, it would also attract the opponent's defense personnel and become two-on-two, giving the opponent the opportunity to double-team. Caowei's experience is not enough and his passing awareness is insufficient. It is better to let him play singles than 2-on-2 in the inside. Now the training is to develop Caowei's ability.

This practice match was also held for Yokota Middle School to establish a new ace. After this summer, Tano will no longer participate in the subsequent competitions. He has his own training to complete, and in his third grade he will go to high school. Yokota needs to establish a system with Kushou as the new core.

The practice match is all third-grade matches against 1.2. Except for Tianno and Hinata who are referees, all players will have a chance to play, and Tanno is also looking for a new starting lineup.

The practice competition was in full swing, and suddenly, the gate of the gymnasium was pulled, and the sound attracted everyone's attention! The training before the national competition was carried out secretly, and all students who wanted to watch the football were rejected. No one should come to the gymnasium at this time!

"Continue! Don't stop!"

Tian Ye signaled for the training to continue, but he went up to see who came to the gym.

"Team leader? Coach Tarooka!"

Seeing the visitor clearly, Tian Ye couldn't help but cry down. A group of people came to the door. The leader of Yokota and Coach Tarooka of Lingnan High School. Tian Ye team went back and found that behind them were all team members wearing Lingnan school uniforms. The tallest one Tian Ye knew it! It was called Yuzhu!

"Team leader, this is it?"

Tian Ye didn't know the purpose of coming, and hoped to know some information from his own team leader.

"Oh? The classmate of the Siguchi knows me?"

Coach Tarooka took over the conversation. He was very interested in Tian Ye, but now he knew that Tian Ye actually knew that he could not help but be secretly happy.

“I have a chance this time”

Taroka was secretly happy and didn't care why Tianye knew him. I think it was because of this Shimiya Tanye who has admired him for a long time, so it's not surprising to know him.

Before Tian Ye could wait for a long time, Coach Tarooka expressed his purpose:

"Tanyejun, this time I came to bring all the members of our Lingnan team to have a practice match with you and serve you as a sparring training before the national competition."

"Schooling?"

"Yes! Sponsor, you can't find any opponents in the prefecture that you can train in. Our Ryunan has always been a top four team in Kanagawa, and has the strength to compete for national competitions. It should be enough for you middle school students to be a trainer!"

Taroka's plan was to let his team members have a happy practice match with Yokotan Middle School. Hello, I, everyone, and let the team members communicate with each other! There is no other meaning...

After thinking a little, Tian Ye felt that it was also a good choice. Instead of letting the familiar team members train within the team, it would be better to let Lingnan come and give his team members a try! Moreover, Tian Ye is quite interested in Coach Tarooka.

"Okay! Coach Taroka, wait a moment, I'll call the team members!"

"gather!!"

Tian Ye waited for the players to assemble, and then announced: "Next, we will have a practice match with Lingnan High School, the top four teams in the high school county. Now, everyone will rest for 15 minutes and prepare for the next practice match! Show off your fighting spirit and don't underestimate them! Disband!"

"What? Is it actually a competition with high school students?"

"Yes! It's still Lingnan High School! They are the top four teams in the high school county competition!"

The players who received the news were talking a lot. They thought it was very interesting to be able to compete with the strong high school teams, at least much more interesting than the team practice game!

"Coach Taroka, sit down!"

Yokota's team leader led Coach Tarooka to the seat in the rest area, and then greeted Tianye: "Tianye! Come on, sit here and chat with Coach Tarooka for a while!"

Tian Ye heard the shout and walked over with a confused look on his face.

Chapter completed!
