Chapter 37 Cover Character of "Basketball Weekly"

As for why I feel that Xiangbei is a pity, it is because Xiangbei was assigned to the second group, and the seed team in this group is Xiangyang.

This year's Xiangyang team is very strong. In addition to having a group of outstanding senior players, they also recruited Kenji Fujima from other counties.

Even though he is still a first-year player, Kenji Fujima's strength has initially reached the level of a top player, which also gives the Shoyang team the idea of ​​​​taking a second place.

"If he is assigned to the fourth group, Tsukutake may not be Shobei's opponent."

Inoue Yuyoshi interjected.

Ozawa Yusaku shook his head and said, "Actually, the Shohoku team's luck is not bad. Last year's top eight team Hinode Nishi was placed in the second group. I heard that Hinode Nishi's strength has plummeted, and the other teams are even worse.

Being weak, Xiangbei can almost surely become the top eight in the county competition.

If Xiangbei is divided into other groups, it is still unknown whether we can become the top eight in the county competition, so our luck is not bad at all."

Uozumi very much agrees with Ozawa Yusaku's point of view. After all, only what you eat is yours.

To take a step back, even if Shohoku is assigned to the fourth group and is lucky enough to defeat Tsukutake and advance to the joint finals, what awaits them may be three eggs in a row.

Currently, Xiangbei simply does not have the strength to compete with Lingnan.

After the game, Coach Tianoka led everyone out of the gym.

Even if the opponent in the next game is not strong, Coach Tianoka is still ready.

Even when a lion fights a rabbit, he still tries his best!

The schedule of the county competition is two days and one round, which may seem a bit rushed, but compared with the national competition, it seems to be very sufficient.

The national competition is held once a day. In the original work, Xiangbei defeated the Mountain King and exhausted everything. If he had time to rest, he would not be easily defeated by Aihe Academy.

The next day, Yuzhu went to the Lingnan Indoor Basketball Hall early in the morning and continued training day after day.

Not long after, Toyo Inoue ran in anxiously, waving the newspaper in his hand and shouted: "Uozumi, look, you are on the cover of Basketball Weekly!"

Uozumi took it and took a look and found that it was the "Basketball Weekly" that was just released today. The cover character on it was Uozumi's picture of Shinichi Yano dunking.

"Shocked, monster fish are wreaking havoc in Kanagawa Prefecture"

Yuzhu glanced at the title and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He didn't expect to be shocked now.

In addition, he discovered Aida Yayoi's name in the reporter column of this report.

"I didn't expect Yayoi Aida to become a reporter so quickly."

Uozumi didn't think much about it, returned "Basketball Weekly" to Inoue Yuyoshi and continued training.

"Hey, hey, you are too plain. If I were you, I would be happy for several days!"

Seeing how ordinary Uozumi was, Inoue Toyoyoshi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. In his three years of high school, he didn't even appear in "Basketball Weekly", let alone the cover.

In fact, there are three reasons why Uozumi became the cover character.

First, Uozhu broke the county competition record for blocks in the first time he played, and even scored a triple-double.

Second, Yuzhu’s height is undoubtedly a gimmick.

Third, "Basketball Weekly" is headquartered in Kanagawa Prefecture, so it is naturally keen on basketball players in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Fourth, "Basketball Weekly" has lacked breaking news recently, so it can only pick up the short ones and the tall ones, and finally get the advantage.

Of course, this is also related to the current circulation of "Basketball Weekly".

Basketball is still an unpopular sport in the island nation, and since Basketball Weekly was founded not long ago, it is understandable that its circulation is not high.

During training at Yuzhu, in the basketball hall affiliated with Hainan University, a tall man nearly two meters tall was sitting on a chair. He had a gloomy face and held a copy of the latest edition of "Basketball Weekly" in his hand.

His name is Ikeda Kazuhiro, he is the Hainan team's starting center, and he is one of the best centers in Kanagawa Prefecture.

As for why it is not ranked first or second, it is because the recognized number one center in Kanagawa Prefecture is Masao Watanabe of Buri High School, and Kazuhiro Ikeda can only sit in the back row.

Generally speaking, Kazuhiro Ikeda's status is similar to that of Uozumi, a senior high school student in the original work.

"Asshole, I've never even been on the cover of Basketball Weekly. How can this guy who came out of nowhere have this honor?"

Ikeda Kazuhiro was very dissatisfied and full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"If I meet this guy in the joint finals, I will definitely make him look good. Hey, Lingnan is in the third group. It seems that I have thought too much. How can this guy pass the level of the Watanabe brothers?"

Kazuhiro Ikeda put down the "Basketball Weekly" in his hand and walked towards the locker room.

When he left, a big man who looked a bit like Takenori Akagi came over. When he saw the cover of "Basketball Weekly", he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

…

April 21st, 10am!

At the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium, the second round of the Lingnan team is about to begin.

The Lingnan team's opponent in the second round was Shida High School, an mediocre team.

Really ordinary!

The strength of Shida High School is not bad, but it has nothing to do with being strong. It is probably much worse than Miuradai.

In this game, the Lingnan team once again showed its strength and did not give Shida High School any chance.

The reason for doing this, in addition to paying attention to the opponent, is mainly to improve the tacit understanding of the main players, especially Uozumi.

At the same time, it is also to select the best lineup.

No surprise, Lingnan team easily defeated Shida High School and successfully advanced to the third round.

Even if Coach Tagoka replaced him in advance, he still had to play against Shida High School.

The main force of Shida High School was even worse than the substitute of Lingnan team.

102:47!

This is the point difference in this game, more than double the point difference, especially when the Lingnan team scored more than 100 points.

After the game ended, the players from Shida High School collapsed on the floor, their eyes empty and soulless, like walking zombies.

They had foreseen that they would lose the game, and were mentally prepared even if they lost by a big score, but they just didn't expect that the Lingnan team's substitute lineup was stronger than theirs, which was a huge blow.

Yuzhu looked at the panel and couldn't help but shook his head.

In this game, he tried his best to grab rebounds, even those of his teammates.

Unfortunately, the efficiency of his teammates was too high, and his playing time was less than half an hour, so he only grabbed 13 rebounds in the end.

Not to mention the rebounds did not break the record, and even the scoring did not meet the standard.

In this game, Yuzhu scored 26 points and 6 blocks.

If he fails to score 30+ in the next game, he may lose the opportunity to break the consecutive 30+ scoring record.

The Lingnan team's scoring leader is still Ozawa Yusaku. He scored 35 points in this game and has scored 30+ in two consecutive games.

If Ozawa Yusaku continues, he may break the record of consecutive 30+ points.

In the new January, please give me some monthly tickets, hoping to get a better ranking in the sports category monthly ticket list.
