"What a pity, I didn't expect that guy didn't do anything? I was really looking forward to it..."
Just when Jorin and the others were discussing why Haizaki didn't make any small moves against Masakuni, Akashi Asuka also let out a regretful sigh on the bus on the way back to Masakuni and the others.
Hearing his words, Sakamoto Kenjiro was speechless: "Are you here to compete, or are you here to cause trouble?"
Akashi Asuka asked: "Is there any conflict between the two?"
Others: "······"
······
The first qualifying round of the Winter Cup lasts for two days.
Two days later.
Of the 50 teams that originally participated, only 32 teams remained.
The second round of promotion matches began on the third day. In this game, Zhengbang's opponent was just an ordinary backbone team. The only player worthy of attention in this team was their captain, Kaoru Kawakami.
Position on the court as point guard
But the difference is that as a point guard, Kaoru Kawakami not only has a broad vision, but can also perfectly serve as the team's command tower.
He also has superb shooting skills for scoring from the outside.
Even across the country, Kawakami Kaoru's strength can be regarded as top-notch.
But it's a pity that except for Kaoru Kawakami, the basketball level of everyone else in this team is quite average.
Not to mention comparing with the current main force of Zhengbang, even the substitutes of Zhengbang's second team participating in the competition this time are far superior to their opponents in terms of basic qualities.
Therefore, Zhengbang did not send all the main players in this game. He just let Tsutomu Iwamura and Ryuhei Kasuga lead three second-team substitutes, and they easily won the second round of promotion.
At the same time that Zhengbang ended the game, in the next court, Xiude High School also qualified for the third round at the same time.
"Are we going to meet again?"
When he bowed to his opponent and left the field, Kasuga Ryuhei turned his head and looked at Shutoku on the court next door, and whispered softly.
"Ah~~Although the time of meeting is a little earlier than we expected, but since we are going to meet eventually, it doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later."
Iwamura Tsutomu followed Kasuga Ryuhei's gaze at the same time, and then his eyes happened to collide with Showtoku's captain Taisuke Otsubo.
Eyes facing each other.
Although it was only a moment, both of them had already seen the determination in each other's eyes.
"Let's go! Although the next game is very important, today's other game is also worth watching!"
After Xiudoku's men left the field, Tsutomu Iwamura withdrew his gaze, patted Kasuga Ryuhei on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the player tunnel.
Follow the lineup of the Winter Cup.
Tomorrow's third round promotion match, Zhengbang will face Xiude again after nearly half a year.
Hiidero, who has Shintaro Midorima, is undoubtedly a formidable opponent. Facing such a team, it is estimated that no team in the country is 100% sure.
Not even Zhengbang or Luoshan.
Although judging from the superficial strength comparison, both Zhengbang and Luoshan are slightly higher than Xiude.
But the real outcome cannot be determined by pure data. Pre-game preparation, tactical intelligence, player status on the day of the game... these will all affect the performance of the players.
Once you make a slight mistake.
Even if Zhengbang loses to Xiude, there is nothing surprising at all.
This is also the reason why when every team participates in a national competition, they will feel that their body and mind are under several times more pressure than in a regular competition.
Because in this place, no matter whether you face any opponent, you need to remain vigilant at all times.
······
After changing clothes in the locker room.
Zhengbang and his party went straight to Stadium D. When they arrived here, they saw that Xiude had arrived at the nearby auditorium one step ahead and had already found a seat.
Not only that.
Masahiro was still in the auditorium near the D stadium, and saw Kaisune, Aomine Daiki, and Momoi Satsuki one after another.
Except for Luo Shan, who is about to start the game at Stadium B, the other members of the 'Generation of Miracles' have basically gathered nearby.
This scene is very similar to the scene between Zhengbang VS Futian Comprehensive Academy yesterday, but the difference is that the two sides competing on the field today are replaced by Cheng Lin and Yangquan.
"Sa~~ Let's see what kind of situation this game will develop into at the end!"
······
······
"Oh oh oh~~~"
"Here comes the amazing supernova who has made rapid progress in the past two years - Seirin High School."
"There is another side that lost an unprecedented zero points in the first two rounds and won the game with an ironclad ironclad - Yangquan University."
"Super offensive team vs. super defensive team."
"It's really hard to imagine how this game will develop."
As players from both teams entered the arena from the tunnel, a tsunami of cheers erupted from the audience.
Corresponding to these cheers, members of the team such as Haichang, Xiude, Zhengbang... appeared to be quite calm and collected.
Because at this time, these people had already begun to observe the status and information of each player in Chenglin and Yangquan.
"Is that No. 12 the newcomer who just joined Yangquan in the summer?" Iwamura asked.
"That's right."
Kitayama Yuzuki opened the folder in his hand and slowly said: "His name is Himuro Tatsuya, a student who has returned from overseas. It is said that when he was abroad, he and Kagami were brothers in the same school."
"Vulcan... No wonder, it's exactly what Akashi said. The aura exuding from this guy is extraordinary!"
The first time they saw Himuro Tatsuya, not only Masakuni, but almost all members of the 'Generation of Miracles' silently marked him with a special mark in their hearts.
Although the smell is still very light.
But there is no doubt that the smell exuding from this guy is infinitely close to the level of the 'Generation of Miracles'. It can even be said that he is a player of this level.
"One Murasakibara is already difficult enough to deal with, but now there's another Himuro Tatsuya. What's Shiro Rin going to do now?"
······
"Beep~~~"
As the dull electronic whistle resounded throughout the stadium, the match between Chenglin and Yangquan officially began.
In the opening scrimmage between the two sides, Murasakihara easily grabbed it from Teppei Kiyoshi with an absolute advantage. It is worth mentioning that the difference between this scrimmage and the original work is that Murasakihara did not violate the jump ball.
"Oh~~I have grown up!"
Seeing Murasakihara's jump ball, Akashi Asuka's face became more interested.
Because he lost to Akashi Asuka in the summer, Murasakihara Atsushi not only increased the amount of training after the summer competition, but also strengthened his technical practice.
That is to say.
Murasakihara Atsushi is now more powerful than he was at the same time in the original work.
