The first leg of the quarterfinals started on time at 10 a.m. There were a total of four games today, all of which were held in one stadium.
They are Akita's Sanno against Hokkaido's Takamizawa High School, Fukuoka Hakata Shoga University affiliated with Toyama Yakumaru Sanshou, Kanagawa Kainan University affiliated with Tokyo Akizuki, and Osaka Daiei Gakuen vs. Aichi Prefecture Meitomo Industry.
The four games will be played in the order of the four districts of ABCD, with two games each in the morning and afternoon. Among these four games, the game between Daiei Academy and Mingpeng Industry will undoubtedly become the focus of all games.
.
There is no way, one is this year's upstart dark horse, but it has beaten Aihe. The other is a veteran team, and its strength is also very strong. The competition between these two teams will definitely create fierce sparks.
Kamikaze Doichi did not go to the stadium to watch the morning game. In fact, thinking about it, there was nothing interesting to watch. He didn’t get up very early, and then he exercised on the campus of Waseda University for a while. During this period, there were actually several groups
The students recognized him and greeted him.
This surprised Kamikaze Doichi a little. It was just a high school national competition. Could it be that he was already famous?
In fact, he doesn't know, but he has already made a name for himself in the high school basketball world. Although Hainan has not experienced a tough battle so far, this does not affect the performance of Kamikaze Doichi, nor does it affect basketball.
Fans recognize him.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Kamikaze Daichi walked to the playing field with all the players. At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the first game to be played was Hainan vs. Qiuyue.
Qiuyue High School is not a particularly powerful school, but since they can enter the national competition, and even enter the top eight, their strength cannot be underestimated. At yesterday's regular meeting, Coach Gao Tou emphasized
Okay. This game must not be taken lightly.
After all, Captain Mu Shenyi is coming back soon, but we must not cause any trouble at this time. If the ship capsizes in the ditch because of underestimating the enemy, Hainan will have great fun.
However, no matter how much coach Gao Tou emphasized, the players still felt quite relaxed. After all, their opponents were unknown, but they were backed by strong strength.
When the game really started, the Hainan team won a game as expected and successfully entered the semi-finals of the national competition. It basically tied the best result in the history of Hainan University.
However, although the result of the game was that the Hainan team won, Qiuyue High School's resistance was fierce, especially in the first fifteen minutes of the first half.
The shooting guard of Qiuyue High School is an excellent three-point shooter like Senior A Shen. In the contest with Senior A Shen, they were basically on par. Before the end of the first half, they each contributed five points to their team.
The three-point shot was a close call.
Another star player of Akizuki High School is their power forward. Whether it is mid-range shooting or attacking at the basket, his skills are very good. Moreover, although he is 192 centimeters tall, he is very fast like Kamikaze Doichi.
Conversion is very flexible.
Muto Masagi, who was responsible for guarding him, had very solid defensive skills. However, he was still confused by the opponent's forward. At the end of the game, Muto-senpai scored a total of 21 points.
However, except for the two of them, the performance of the other players of Qiuyue High School can only be said to be mediocre. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it is obviously not as good as the players from Hainan. This also makes their overall strength lag behind Hainan by a large margin.
, coupled with Kamikaze Doichi's powerful breakthrough. In the second half of the first half, after the score slowly opened up, Akizuki High School panicked, which eventually led to a collapse.
At the end of the first half, Hainan used offense instead of defense and played fast, leading 63 to 34 by as much as 29 points. It can be said that as soon as the first half ended, Hainan was basically assured of victory.
Throughout the game, Kamikaze Doichi, Kamisou Ichiro, and Takasago Kazuma all contributed more than 20 points. Even Muto-senpai, who has never been very good at attacking, scored double digits in this game. Several
The first-year players who took turns playing each other also recorded scores.
Especially Kamikaze Doichi. In this game, Kamikaze Doichi first showed his prowess at the point guard position, frequently assisting his teammates and constantly harassing the opponent's point guard. In the first half, he received 9 assists.
There were also 5 steals. In the second half, he scored frequently. After the whole game, Kamikaze scored a total of 33 points, 15 assists, and 8 steals, a near-triple-double.
After the game, the Hainan players were completely relieved. They were ready to enjoy the next day's holiday and prepare for the next crucial semi-finals.
When they walked to the auditorium to watch the next match between Daiei Academy and Mingpeng Industry, the audience on the field exclaimed their momentum. Many of the audience saw the Hainan players for the first time.
When you look down from the audience, sometimes you don’t feel anything. But when several tall and strong people stand in front of you and you are sitting, looking up will make you feel that the other person is even more abnormal.
tall.
Kamikaze Doichi did not leave the team this time, and ran to sit with his friends. Regarding this matter, A Shen-senpai mentioned it to him a little bit. Kamikaze Doichi will be the next captain, this is already a certainty
Things have happened. Therefore, Kamikaze Doichi must pay attention to discipline from now on. He should not make mistakes that the captain should make, and he should try not to act independently.
In this regard, Kamikaze Daichi could only choose to accept it helplessly. After all, this path was chosen by himself, so if there is a gain, something must be sacrificed.
The entire Hainan team sat in the back row of the auditorium, watching the game on the field. Everyone before the game thought that this was a close game. After all, Mori Shigehiro's offensive power was too powerful. With his
Only with its strength can Mingpeng Industrial survive all the way and reach this point.
However, as the game progressed, Mingpeng Industrial's crisis came earlier than expected. That is, Mori Shigehiro's desire to defy the world prompted him to constantly foul the basket.
Everyone can see that this is a strategy formulated by Daiei Academy against the famous Mori Shigehiro. The famous friend is Mori Shigehiro's one-man team. Instead of overwhelming him in terms of strength, it is more practical to get him as soon as possible.
.
Eleven minutes into the first half, Shigehiro Mori was substituted due to three fouls. Daiei Academy seized this opportunity and by the end of the first half, was already 14 points ahead of Meito.
However, Mori Shigehiro, who came on in the second half, still failed to play the role of savior. Just five minutes later, he committed his fourth violation. Mingpeng's coach covered his head with a headache. During the halftime break, his mouth
I was exhausted, but I didn’t expect this guy to forget everything as soon as he came on stage.
However, he did not replace Mori Shigehiro. He had tried his best to protect Mori Shigehiro, but now his famous friend needed him, and he could not come down to rest. Otherwise, the game would definitely end early.
Mori Shigehiro may have also realized the seriousness of the matter, so it was only sixteen minutes into the second half that he committed his last rule and was ruthlessly ejected by the referee.
Without Shigehiro Mori, Mingmo was no match for Daiei. In the end, Daiei Academy won the final victory of the quarterfinals with 86 to 63.
In this way, all the top four teams were created.
Sanno Industrial in District A, Hakata Shopo in District B, Hainan University Affiliated in District C, and Daiei Academy in District D.
These four teams are basically not much different from last year, except that Aiwa Academy was replaced by Daiei. However, Daiei Academy is also very strong, and entering the semi-finals is also a reflection of their strength.
"Wow, they are so awesome. Are they really high school students?"
"Yeah, it's really unbelievable. Hainan who played just now is so awesome."
"The Sanno in the morning is even more powerful, and there is also a branch affiliated with Hakata Shohang University."
"Yes, they are really amazing."
The field was full of voices discussing the top four teams in this national competition, Daiei Academy on the field, and the other three teams standing up in the audience. There was a team in each direction, with more than a dozen big guys,
Wearing the same team uniforms and matching their strong momentum, they stood straight in the audience, creating unknown sparks between each other. (To be continued...)
