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

"Coach, this genius is never afraid of any special training." Sakuragi Hanamichi saw that Rukawa Kaede had nothing to gain from winning the award, and he was filled with anger.

"Coach, what are you going to train for this time?" Miyagi has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in throws in competitions. Now he really wants to master more skills. Although Rukawa Kaede did not speak, his eyes kept looking at Shen Long. He has benefited a lot from time spent on physical training, and he also wants to practice new techniques.

"Hoho, first of all you have to take tutoring lessons with Chimu and Mumu. You must know that if you fail four or more subjects in the final exam, you will not be able to participate in the national competition." As soon as Shen Long said these words, these guys suddenly became depressed.

"What? How come there is such an unreasonable policy!" The Xiangbei bad guys were about to cry. No matter how hard they trained, they were not afraid, but tutoring would cost them their lives.

"Ah hahahaha, you guys who don't study hard are finally experiencing the pain, right?" 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 getting into a good university, but at least I won’t fail four or more subjects.

Shohoku is a public university, and it is difficult to attract high-quality students. It has rarely been in the limelight in the past. Unexpectedly, this year, Qingtian Tatsuhiko's judo club and Akagi's basketball club won the county championships one after another. This made the school extremely happy.

Not only did the News Department come to the Basketball Department for an interview, the principal also specially invited Shen Long to discuss the national competition and sent someone to the competition venue to book a hotel in advance. Because he won the county competition championship, the accommodation conditions in Xiangbei were much better than in the original novel. ; Shen Long also took the opportunity to ask a question about the final exam, and the principal understood it instantly.

With early tutoring and the cooperation of the school, the Xiangbei Delinquent Legion successfully qualified for the national competition, saving a lot of time compared to the original work.

After the exam, there were only two weeks left before the national competition. Akagi took the team members to Changcheng High School for final warm-up exercises, while Shen Long left Sakuragi Hanamichi behind to give him special training.

"Sakuragi, starting from today, you should complete the 20,000-ball mid-range shooting training first!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's mid-range shooting is already in shape, but this kind of practice is too little and not too much. Shen Long wants to do it in the shortest time Within a period of time, Sakuragi Hanamichi's shooting can develop into a physical instinct, so that he can perform better in national competitions.

If Shohoku wants to win the championship, it will inevitably have to face Sanno. Compared with Sanno, Shohoku's only strengths are Hanamichi Sakuragi vs. Masahiro Nobe and Hisashi Mitsui vs. Satoshi Ichinokura. Sakuragi has more scoring ability. Xiangbei can also be more confident.

"Okay, it's only 20,000 balls. I can finish it very quickly." Sakuragi Hanamichi was full of enthusiasm.

"Before that, let me buy you a new pair of basketball shoes. These pairs are worn out." Sakuragi Hanamichi trained so hard that these basketball shoes were no longer good after only two months of wearing them.

"Dad, why are you so nice to me?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was moved to tears.

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

"Well, this genius will definitely become Japan's number one basketball star!"

After the 20,000-ball practice was over, Shen Long added a new training item to Sakuragi Hanamichi, which was the back-up technique. Sakuragi Hanamichi's strength and jumping were very good, and his height was not low among power forwards. There's no better way to practice a fadeaway jump shot than to push your opponent away slightly with your back, then quickly turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper.

With Sakuragi Hanamichi's bounce, as long as he masters this move, it is difficult for anyone to guard against him. This move can also become Sakuragi Hanamichi's secret weapon in the national competition.

After practicing for a period of time, Akagi and the others also returned from the special training with Changcheng High School. They achieved good results with two wins and one loss. The loss was the result of training as a substitute in Shohoku.

It just so happens that Akagi can help Sakuragi Hanamichi practice. With Akagi's strength and height, as long as Sakuragi Hanamichi can score under his defense, not many people can guard him in the national competition.

The only ones who are better defensively than Akagi are probably Kawada Masashi and Morishigehiro, and both of them are centers and will not directly confront Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Has this guy progressed to this level? What a terrifying talent. Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi score a fadeaway jumper under Akagi's defense, Mitsui Hisagi, Miyagi and others were shocked. Even Rukawa Kaede was slightly surprised. Opening his mouth, although his movements were not very standardized and his hits were not high, he had grasped the essence of the fadeaway jumper. It is absolutely surprising to think that Sakuragi only had one week to practice this move.

After using the last three days to practice tactics, the entire Shohoku team set off on the Shinkansen to Osaka, where this national competition will be held.

"The new issue of "Basketball Weekly" is out, and it has the grouping situation of the national competition. We are one of the five seed teams, and our strength is rated A-level." The qualifications of the seed teams in the national competition are allocated according to regions, Akita , Aichi, Kanagawa and other areas with outstanding basketball strength will automatically qualify for the seed team.

Shohoku won first place in Kanagawa and replaced Hainan as the seed team, while Mingpeng Industrial defeated Aiwa Academy and won first place in Aichi Prefecture, and also qualified as a seed team.

Akagi held the magazine and looked at the qualifications of the Shohoku seed team with great satisfaction. He became the seed team with a bye in the first round and played one less game. This can save a lot of energy, and the hope of entering the quarterfinals and being successfully promoted to Fukasawa Sports University is even greater.

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

"Before entering the quarterfinals and meeting another seeded team, Luoan, our opponents were average in strength, but if we want to reach the finals, we must defeat the King of Mountains!"

"Hainan's luck is really bad. The first stop will be against last year's top eight player Toyotama. Even if they win, they will have to face Sanno immediately. Amu may have to go home early this year." Hainan replaced Shohoku and was assigned to death. group.
