Chapter 83 National Competition Grouping

"Before the national competition, there is still tough special training waiting for you!" Shen Long reminded after returning to school after the celebration.

"Coach, this genius has never been afraid of any special training." Yingmu Huadao saw that Rukawa won the award and he had nothing, so he held back his stomach.

"Coach, what are you going to train this time?" Miyagi's practiced pitching has made great achievements in the game, and he really wants to master some skills now; He has benefited from time-consuming physical training, and he also wants to practice new techniques.

"Hey, first of all, you have to study with Akagi and Mumu. You must know that if you fail more than four subjects in the final exam, you will not be able to participate in the national competition." As soon as Shen Long said that, these guys suddenly became depressed.

"What? How can there be such an unreasonable policy!" The bad army in Xiangbei was about to cry, no matter how hard the training was, they were not afraid, but tutoring was going to kill them.

"Ahahahaha, you guys who didn't study hard, have you finally tasted the pain now?" Mitsui Shou began to gloat. He had been forced to study by Shen Long since the holidays, and now he can barely catch up. There is still no hope of going to a good university, but at least I won't fail more than four subjects.

Shonhoku is a public university, and it is difficult to attract high-quality students. In the past, this kind of limelight was rarely seen. Unexpectedly, this year Tatsuhiko Aota's judo club and Akagi's basketball team won the county championships one after another. This made the school very happy.

Not only did the news department come to the basketball department for interviews, the principal also specially invited Shen Long to discuss the matter of the national competition, and sent a special person to book the hotel in advance at the competition venue. Because he won the championship of the county competition, the accommodation conditions in Xiangbei were much better than the original book. Shen Long also took the opportunity to ask the question about the final exam, and the principal understood it in seconds.

With the cooperation of tutoring in advance and the school, the Xiangbei Bad Army successfully obtained the qualification to go to the national competition, saving a lot of time compared with the original book.

The exam is over, and there are only two weeks before the national competition. Akagi takes the team members to Changcheng High School for the final warm-up exercises, while Shen Long leaves Sakuragi Hanamichi to start special training for him.

"Sakuragi, starting from today, you should complete the 20,000-ball mid-range shooting training first!" Within a short period of time, let Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting form a physical instinct, so that he can perform better in the national competition.

If Shohoku wants to win the championship, it is inevitable to face Sanno. Compared with Sanno, Shohoku is only stronger than Sakuragi Hanamichi vs. Nobe Masahiro and Mitsui Hisashi vs. Ichinokura Satoshi. Sakuragi has more scoring ability, Xiangbei can also be more confident.

"Okay, it's only 20,000 goals, and it will be completed soon this day." Yingmu Huadao was full of enthusiasm.

"Before that, let's go buy you a new pair of basketball shoes. These are worn out." Yingmu Huadao's training is too hard, and this pair of basketball shoes will not work after two months of wearing.

"Father, why are you so kind to me?" Yingmu Huadao was moved to tears.

"Because you are a genius! If you become a star in the future, remember to advertise my fried chicken shop." Shen Long said with a smile. During the special training, he also took care of Yingmu Huadao's food. The chicken shop prepares nutritious meals and delivers them every day.

"Well, this genius will definitely become the number one basketball star in Japan!"

After the 20,000-ball practice was over, Shen Long added a new practice item to Yingmu Huadao, that is, the back-up technique. Yinggi Huadao's strength and jumping are very good, and his height is not low among power forwards. It would be better to practice the back and back jumper. First resist twice to squeeze the opponent away, and then quickly turn around and make the back jumper.

With Yingmu Huadao's bounce, as long as he can practice this move, it is very difficult for anyone to guard against him. This move can also become Yinggi Huadao's secret weapon in the national competition.

After practicing for a while,

Akagi and the others also came back from the special training with Changcheng High School. They achieved two wins and one loss. The loss was the result of Xiangbei's training as a substitute.

It happened that Akagi could help Sakuragi Hanamichi to practice. With Akagi's strength and height, as long as Sakuragi Hanamichi could score under his defense, few people would be able to defend him in the national competition.

Masashi Kawada and Hiroshi Mori are probably better defensively than Akagi, and both of them are centers and will not directly face Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Has this guy progressed to this level? It's really a terrifying talent. Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi scoring a fallback jumper under Akagi's defense, Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi and others were surprised. Even Rukawa Kaede opened his mouth slightly. The standard and hits are not high, but he has grasped the essence of the fadeaway jumper, and it is absolutely surprising to think that Sakuragi only practiced this trick for a week.

Using the last three days to practice tactics, the whole Xiangbei team set foot on the Shinkansen to Osaka, where this national competition will be held.

"The new issue of "Basketball Weekly" has come out. It has the grouping situation of the national competition. We are one of the five seeded teams, and our strength is rated as A-level." , Aichi, Kanagawa and other areas with outstanding basketball strength will automatically qualify for the seed team.

Shohoku won the first place in Kanagawa and replaced Hainan as the seed team, while Meito Industry defeated Aihe Academy and won the first place in Aichi County, and also qualified for the seed team.

Holding the magazine, Akagi looked at the qualifications of the Xiangbei seeded team and was very satisfied. He became a seeded team with a bye in the first round and played one game less.

Is it just the top eight? What are you thinking, we Xiangbei want to dominate the whole country! Akagi shook his head, put these messy things aside, and continued to study the match list.

"Before entering the quarter-finals and meeting another seeded team, Luoan, our opponents were all mediocre, but if we want to reach the finals, we must defeat the king of the mountain!"

"Hainan's luck is really bad. The first stop is to face last year's top eight Fengyu. Even if he wins, he will immediately face the king of the mountain. Amu may have to go home early this year." Hainan replaced Xiangbei and was assigned to death group.

"Our schedule has an advantage over Sanwang. Before entering the semi-finals, we only need to face a strong team in Luoan. Even if Sanwang defeats Hainan, we still have to meet the challenges of Aihe College and Urayan Business. It will be very physically demanding for them. consumption." Shen Long was very satisfied with this grouping, and Xiangbei could face the Mountain King at ease.
