Chapter 102 National Competition Grouping Situation (Fourth update, first order requested)

After Shota Sugiyama accompanied Kazuo Karasawa to Akita County, Uozumi's life became monotonous again and seemed very boring.

It may be like this to others, but to Yuzhu, it is as sweet as sugar.

Anyone who sees that he can be rewarded for his continuous efforts will probably be the same as Yuzhu.

Many people are not born lazy, but they slowly become lazy after they work hard but fail to see rewards.

While the Lingnan team was training hard, time began to pass slowly, and soon, more than half a month passed.

During this period, an interesting incident related to Hainan happened.

Originally, Hainan was working hard to apply for the play-offs. With Hainan's background as the king, it stands to reason that it has a good chance of winning the play-offs.

Unfortunately, I don’t know who exposed the Hainan team’s substitution of substitute players for regular players at the closing ceremony of the county competition.

As the saying goes, it is easier to destroy than to create. Many members of the county competition organizing committee believed that the Hainan team did not respect them.

Of course, there are some figures from universities behind the scenes, and they also contribute secretly.

Naturally, the other universities are dissatisfied with Hainan, the king, monopolizing the championship and national competition spots.

The national competition is okay. Kanagawa Prefecture has two quotas for the national competition, so there is still hope after all. The winter competition is different. Unless you are the host country or the champion and runner-up of the national competition, there is only one quota.

The world has been suffering for a long time. After seeing the opportunity, these schools will not let go of the idea of ​​​​adding insult to injury.

Under this situation, the Hainan team's application for the play-offs has been stuck by the organizing committee and has no chance to be passed on.

By the time coach Gao Toou discovered something was wrong, it was already too late, and the place in the play-offs had been determined.

As a result, the Hainan team lost the opportunity to apply for the play-offs.

After more than ten years, Hainan, the majestic king, enjoyed the "fun" of "fishing home" for the first time.

The significance of this incident to the Hainan team is absolutely far-reaching. Not only did the morale of the Hainan players drop, it also affected the foundation.

After learning that the Hainan team had lost the qualification to participate in the play-offs, many teams celebrated spontaneously.

After the Hainan team lost the playoffs, it means that this national competition is about to begin.

This national competition will be held in Kyoto.

Because they were far away, the Lingnan team did not take the school bus this time. Their transportation was the Shinkansen.

Under the leadership of coach Tian Gang, everyone in Lingnan collectively stepped onto the Shinkansen.

People in the carriage couldn't help but look over, and then their attention was attracted by Yuzhu.

"Wow, it's so high!"

"I'm afraid it's two meters long!"

"I seem to have seen him somewhere!"

"Idiot, he is a 'monster' Yuzhu!"

…

It has to be said that the popularity of Uozumi has initially spread in Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Coach, this is the group list for this year's national competition!"

Harukami Liting handed the latest issue of "Basketball Weekly" to Coach Tianoka.

After hearing the group list of the national competition, everyone in Lingnan surrounded Coach Tian Gang, wanting to know the group situation of Lingnan as soon as possible.

"Never be in the same group as Sanno, and someone affiliated with Hakata Shang University."

Everyone in Lingnan prayed silently. They knew very well that although Lingnan was strong, it would be difficult to defeat them.

Needless to say, Sanno Industries has won the national championship for the second time.

Hakata Commerce University Affiliated School is also very strong, well, it has been ranked runner-up for consecutive years!

Although the affiliated school of Hakata University of Commerce is definitely not as good as Sanno Industrial, it is stronger than Hainan and Aiwa College.

At the same time, Hakata Shougang University affiliate is also the most difficult team.

These two teams can be said to be the ‘traditional giants’ in national competitions, with glorious historical heritage.

In this case, everyone in Lingnan naturally does not want to be placed in the same group with these two teams.

Coach Taoka was also very nervous, but on the surface he calmly opened "Basketball Weekly" and quickly found the page where the national competition group list was located.

With an uneasy feeling, Coach Tian Gang began to watch.

A total of 59 teams participated in the national competition this time, divided into four groups.

Since last year's Hainan team only reached the top eight in the country, there were no changes in the four seeded teams. They are Sanno Industrial, affiliated with Hakata University of Commerce, Aiwa Academy and affiliated with Jimbo University.

The first three are easy to say. As for the affiliated school of Jinbo University, it comes from Kyoto. It is similar to the affiliated school of Hainan University and is a high school under the jurisdiction of Jinbo University.

The top four teams in the last national competition will automatically become the seeded teams in this session.

Being a seeded team naturally comes with preferential treatment, such as a bye in the first round, and it is even more impossible to encounter them before entering the semi-finals.

"Found it, we are in the third group!"

After seeing the group situation, coach Tian Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As we all know, the last championship and runner-up must be the seeded teams in the first and second groups.

"The third group, the seed team in this group is Aiwa Academy from Aichi Prefecture!"

After learning that it was Aihe Academy, everyone in Lingnan breathed a sigh of relief.

The strength of Aihe Academy is similar to that of Hainan. It also has ace players and a large number of outstanding role players.

In addition, like the Hainan team, this year's Aiwa Academy also recruited a strong freshman, Zhuxingda, who will be known as the "Star of Aichi" in the future.

By the way, judging from Makoto's familiarity with Aichi Prefecture, it seems that he is also from Aichi Prefecture.

"By the way, which group is Xiangyang in?"

Being from the same Kanagawa Prefecture team and having played several friendly matches, the relationship between the two teams has become much better.

"It's in the fourth group, and the seed player in that group is affiliated with Jinbo University!"

"Xiangyang is very lucky. I heard that the affiliated Jinbo University is not as good as before. With the strength of the Xiangyang team, it has a good chance of winning the top four spots in the country."

At this time, everyone in Lingnan began to observe the battle situation of the third group.

Lingnan's first opponent was Iwakimizu High School from Hokkaido, a team with little visibility.

Although Iwashimizu High School has participated in many national competitions, the best result it has achieved is that it was among the top 32 in the national competition, either in the first round or in the second round.

However, Lingnan will not underestimate any opponent. After all, no one is sure whether Iwaqingshui will become as famous as this year's Lingnan or Shohoku in the original work.

"I didn't expect Feng Yu to be in our group! If nothing else happens, we will face off against Feng Yu in the second round."

Uozumi couldn't help but shook his head. No matter how you look at it, Toyotama is a strong team, especially coach Kitano has not been fired by Toyotama.

Lingnan may be a little stronger, but the gap is not very big. Fengyu also has the possibility of defeating Lingnan.

This is definitely a strong rival!

At this time, Chun Shang Liting handed a notebook to Yuzhu.

"Yuzumi, here, this page is the record of the national competition!"

I’ll release four chapters first, and ask for monthly votes by the way. Thank you very much, everyone!
Chapter completed!
