Chapter 7 One Year
With Mitsui Shou starting the killing mode in the second half, even though Xiangbei was just a group of substitutes playing and could not defend Hainan's attack at all, on the offensive end, Mitsui killed people by blocking people, and the Buddha blocked the Buddha, and the three-point shooting percentage of 14 of 16 shots was simply super god-level, because Mitsui's three-point shooting percentage was even higher than that of many players' free throw shooting percentage.
Although Takato repeatedly called timeouts, Mitsui Shou, who had already been so excited about the game, could not stop him at all. So when the game ended, everyone was crazy looking at the score of 135:163 on the live scoreboard.
They were crazy about the crazy scores of this game, and even more crazy about Mitsui Shou's score.
In this game, Mitsui Sho made 30 of 36 three-pointers, 8 of 8 two-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 111 points that shocked the whole of Japan! In previous games at all levels in Japan, no one had ever scored such a high score, and the highest was only more than seventy points, but Mitsui Sho increased the record by nearly 40 points, which was simply crazy.
In addition to scoring, Mitsui also scored 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Because the joint finals of Kanagawa Prefecture will determine the ownership of entering the national competition, there are also many players and coaches from other places who come to observe the enemy situation, so there are many people who see Mitsui Shou's performance in this game, and they are all scared by Mitsui's ability, especially the explosive power of scoring, which is unprecedented.
"Win! We defeated Hainan! We are one step closer to the national competition!" At the moment of the game, all the players from Xiangbei rushed to the stadium to celebrate the victory, and Akagi shed tears of excitement and joy. At the beginning, he dreamed of meeting Hainan again and again in the joint finals. Today, he not only fought with Hainan, but also won the game, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart. Akagi covered his face excitedly and cried.
In the stands of the stadium, Haruko Akagi also burst into tears: "Woooo~~~Congratulations to your brother, congratulations..."
Hainan center fell on the court, his face pale and his eyes were lost.
In today's game, Hainan center was directly beaten by Mitsui Shou in the middle of the second half and left the court. He was humiliated. This was the first time he was beaten so embarrassed in three years in high school. For a moment, Hainan center was a little discouraged: Is the era that belongs to me over?
Mu Shin looked at Mitsui Shou who was celebrating by his teammates on the court. He wiped the sweat from his face, lined up to bow to the other party, and stretched out his hand to Mitsui Shou: "Mitsui, you are amazing, but I will catch up with you."
Seeing Mu Shenichi's persistent gaze, Mitsui smiled slightly and reached out to hold Mu Shenichi: "I'll wait for you."
After the game, Xiangbei team did not celebrate. Because there were two games to play in the next one, if you want to enter the national competition, you would have to win at least one game in the next one. If you want to get a favorable position in the national competition group, then you must win the next two games, and the pressure is not too great.
But even Hainan was beaten down by them, Xiangyang and Wuli should not be a problem.
This is true. In the next two games, Xiangbei defeated Shoyo and Buri 157:131, 168:129, respectively, and won all three games. He advanced to the national competition with his head held high, and the Hainan team was also shameless and brave. He won the next two games and entered the national competition with the second place in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Later in the selection of the best lineup, Hainan center, Buri power forward, Matsushichi, Fujima Kenji and Mitsui Shou became the five best performers. Unfortunately, although Fujima Kenji performed well, he failed to advance to the national competition. Moreover, they also lost the game by one point in the last game with Hainan. After the game, Fujima shed tears of pain, which caused countless female fans in the stands to cry. There was no way, the little guy was favored.
The prefecture's best player undoubtedly fell into the hands of Mitsui. After three games, Mitsui Sho's sensational figures with 93 points per game, 11 assists, and 2 blocks. The title of "no suspense" in the game with Hainan directly alarmed the top leaders of the Japanese basketball industry. In the next two games, countless famous universities and even officials from the Japanese Basketball Association came to watch Mitsui Sho's game. Mitsui's performance did live up to expectations, making these officials call him a genius that was rare in a thousand years.
It’s a pity that Mitsui Shou is just a freshman in the first grade. Those university coaches can’t put their ideas on him. Fortunately, there is still a chance in two years. Then there will definitely be a bloody storm in order to compete for Mitsui.
It is rare to have a talented player like Mitsui Sho. Officials of the Japanese Basketball Association also talked to him specifically, and even promised that as long as Mitsui Sho has a wonderful performance in the national competition, there will definitely be a place in this year's national youth team.
Mitsui was not interested in the so-called Japanese national youth team, but it was established to perform well in the national competitions and strive to help the team achieve better results, so Mitsui did not give these officials a look, but just said that they would perform well.
After the officials left with satisfaction, it was the beginning of the carnival of the Xiangbei team... It was strange.
Because the exam will be taken soon, and according to the rules of Xiangbei, if there are four failed exams, they are not allowed to participate in any club activities and they all have to stay in the school to make up for the lessons. Therefore, those who have poor grades in the Xiangbei team are extremely nervous, such as Hirota. Although this guy's test scores cannot be compared with Sakuragi's failure, they are not much better. So during this period, Mitsui Shou kept helping Hirota to tutor his homework. Finally, after the exam results in mid-July came out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After seven subjects, three of Kuotian failed, and finally passed the thrilling level.
Then, the summer vacation began, and the practice match of Xiangbei was arranged by coach Anxi, and three practice matches with Toyota High School in Osaka. After all, there are too many first-year players in Xiangbei, and four of the main players are first-year players. Except for Mitsui Shou, freshmen, including Akagi Takaki, do not have much experience in the competition, and the national competition is a completely different game. Therefore, taking this opportunity to play three practice matches with Toyota, the national quarter-final team, is a rare opportunity to improve.
The reason why I chose Fengyu was because Coach Anxi and Fengyu's head coach were comrades in the national team back then, and they had a good relationship. So after Coach Anxi made this request, Fengyu's coach immediately agreed.
In these three practice games, the performance was better and better than the other, and they achieved a total victory in three games. The first game won single digits, the second game won more than ten points, and the third game won more than 30 points, which shocked Toyoyu players. The reason for the shock was that Xiangbei's tactics were exactly the same as theirs, all of them were running and bombing tactics. However, Xiangbei had a scoring man named Mitsui. Compared with the score, Toyoyu was not as good as Mitsui. So Toyoyu lost, and the loss was convinced.
Because of these three games, Toyota and the Xiangbei team have become much closer. After all, they both play the same tactic and are born with a sense of intimacy. Especially Toyota's first-year freshmen Kishimoto and Nanrei, who have a good relationship with Mitsui, and even admire Mitsui very much. During this period, they invited them seven or eight times just for dinner.
Now Kishimoto and Nanrei are not the same as in the original Slam Dunk. They are still very cheerful and generous young people, and they are both freshmen. Mitsui Shou can talk to them very well.
Shortly after the warm-up match with Toyota, Xiangbei boarded the train to the national competition. On the train, Xiangbei saw the grouping of this national competition in a basketball magazine. Xiangbei was lucky and was divided into a relatively weak group. In addition to the eight-to-four-to-four matches, the opponents in the previous competition were not strong. However, if you can go further after playing Aihe, you will encounter the strongest Sanwang in the semi-finals. So after seeing the grouping, Mitsui Shou knew that if he died this year, he would be the semi-finals. Want to reach the final or even win the championship? Wait next year!
The result of this national competition was the same as Mitsui expected. Although he defeated Aihe Academy in the eight-to-four game, he also struggled to win. After all, Xiangbei's substitute was too bad. The previous few games consumed a lot of physical strength from the main players of Xiangbei, so when playing Aihe, his physical condition was not very good. He finally killed Aihe with Mitsui's explosion. However, after meeting Sanwang in the semi-finals, Xiangbei really had no chance at all.
Although Mitsui is still a god blocking the gods and killing the Buddhas. A man scored 81 points, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot beat the other four positions to overwhelm the Sanwang of Xiangbei. At 113:121, Xiangbei lost 8 points. At the end of the game, Mitsui fainted on the court exhausted, and was finally carried out of the court by a stretcher and sent directly to the hospital.
Although he lost the game, the strength Mitsui showed won everyone's respect and admiration. Because in this national competition, Mitsui averaged more than 60 points per game. This is because Xiangbei deliberately trained players in the previous game, so Mitsui played very little playing time and didn't score much. However, in the eight-point four-point and semi-finals, Mitsui averaged 92 points per game.
That's right, Mitsui scored 103 points in the game against Aichi. With her crazy performance in these two games, Mitsui was eventually selected into the best team in the national competition, and even won the title of the most valuable player. She was also named the country's strongest high school student and entered the Japanese national youth team in one fell swoop.
Although his personal honor is impeccable, Mitsui was not happy because he did not lose, but Xiangbei lost, so Xiangbei's players were also ashamed. So after returning from the national competition, Akagi, Hirota and Kimu trained more hard, and the third-grade players of the team also withdrew from the team one after another, and there were only four second-grade players. Fortunately, there were a large number of first-grade players, with eight. The entire Xiangbei basketball team just met the 12-player standard, but the worst player also had jerseys.
Autumn goes and spring comes. In a blink of an eye, it is the start of the school season again. From today on, Mitsui will be the second grade of high school.
Over the past year, the Xiangbei team has changed a lot. With a year of hard training, the Xiangbei team is now much stronger than last year, especially the improvement of Akagi, Hirota and Kimu, which even Mitsui was even surprised.
First of all, Akagi, his footsteps under the basket have been used quite well, and his hooks at the basket have been practiced with some fire. His mid-range jump shot has also achieved a relatively stable shooting rate, and his free throws have exceeded 70%. This shooting rate can basically ensure that Akagi is no longer afraid of the opponent fouling him.
In terms of defense, Akagi has made great progress. Now Akagi's height has reached 1.97 meters, which is completely the third-year height in the original work. This is also what surprised Mitsui. As her height increases, Akagi's deterrence is stronger at the basket. Moreover, after practicing yoga for a year, Akagi's body flexibility has increased a lot. Even his speed has increased to a certain extent. Although Akagi is not a nimble player, Akagi is definitely the fastest in high school in the center position.
Akagi today is stronger than Akagi in the third grade in the original work.
Then there is Hirota. After a year, Hirota's height has reached 1.83 meters. It is at least good to be in the power forward position. In addition, Hirota has also strengthened its strength training in the past year, leading people, carrying people, and grabbing rebounds. It is no problem at all. He is the most trustworthy blue-collar power forward in Xiangbei. In addition to his mid-range shooting skills, Hirota has also developed a lot of pressure for Akagi in the inside. In addition to his talent, Hirota is definitely much more reliable than Sakuragi in the original work.
What surprised Mitsui the most was Mu Mu. A year ago, Mitsui pointed out the direction of development for Mu Mu. So over the past year, Mu Mu has been practicing running and shooting, especially three-point shooting. After the baptism of last year's county competition and national competition, and Mu Mu's own efforts, Mu Mu's running has now reached a very erratic level. Even facing Hainan, Sanwang and other teams, he can run a good open position. In terms of shooting percentage of open positions, Mu Mu can reach more than 80% in practice, and has exceeded 50% in official games.
Mu Mu is not the type who can't stop if he scores a goal. It's a very stable pitcher. Although his talent is not as good as Mitsui, he is not worse than Ichiro Shensong. Now Mu Mu can be used as Ichiro Shensong.
With the progress of these three players, Mitsui has full expectations for Xiangbei this year. In addition to them, other Xiangbei players have also improved to varying degrees. Because of the national competition, Mitsui knows that relying solely on the daily training volume is not enough to make Xiangbei stand on the podium of the national competition championship. Therefore, after returning from the national competition, Xiangbei's training intensity has also increased by several levels. So after a year, there are only one second-grade players and only two first-grade players. This is because Xiangbei team has two beautiful managers. If it weren't for the eyes of two beauties, I'm afraid these three people would have been unable to stand up and withdraw from the community. If they all withdraw, Xiangbei would not even be able to get a five-player starting lineup. Fortunately, there are seven people in the Xiangbei team now.
In addition, in the past year, Mitsui Su also joined the Japanese national youth team and reached the finals in last year's Asian Youth Championship. However, he lost to the Chinese national youth team by two points in the final. Mitsui missed a three-pointer at the last moment. Although the Chinese national youth team won the championship, he was also scared and sweated because Mitsui Su's three-pointer in this game was 13 of 16 shots, and his shooting percentage was so high. Unfortunately, Mitsui did not make the most important goal.
However, with the Japanese national youth team's second-rate strength in Asia, the performance of reaching the finals has already made the Japanese Basketball Association quite excited, and Mitsui Sho's performance is definitely a superstar, because in all the games, he averaged more than 50 points per game, and scored 78 points in the final against China. He was named the title of the Most Valuable Player of this Asian Youth Championship by the Asian Basketball League, and it is also predicted that Mitsui Sho will become the next Asian player to enter the NBA.
However, being forced by a Japanese player to almost lose the game, Chinese officials and coaches were very annoyed, so they increased their investment in basketball and also increased their training of players, especially the training of defenders. Because Mitsui Shou was the point guard in the game against the Chinese team, the ball was as if he was alive and could not grab it, even if three people were double-teamed, and the Japanese team's offensive organization was organized, allowing Chinese coaches to see the importance of an excellent point guard to the team. Mitsui Shou would never have thought that because of his performance in this game, the problem of defenders that the Chinese men who have been troubled for the next ten years did not appear. Instead, a group of outstanding defenders have emerged, and have always dominated Asia and are unstoppable.
After the Asian Youth Championship, the Shokube Men's Basketball Team participated in the winter trials again. Although they lacked third-grade players, Shokube's strength not only did not decline, but improved. So Shokube won the only place in the winter national competition in Kanagawa Prefecture. Unfortunately, Shokube finally fell on the stage of the finals, and the loss was still the one who lost to Sanno. The way of losing was very annoyed Mitsui Shou. Sanno relied on the strong bench depth to defend Xiangbe. In this case, even though Mitsui Shou was not affected, he still scored more than 80 points. In the end, Xiangbe still hated the Winter Cup by one point because of the lack of substitute strength.
After that game, Mitsui Shou had a more evil spirit. After returning to school, his training for Xiangbei became even more stringent. This is also the biggest reason why Xiangbei team has only seven people left now. Fortunately, the new semester has begun, and Xiangbei team will also welcome a group of new players.
Because the outstanding performance of Xiangbei team last year is different from the original work, in addition to Miyagi Liangda, there are two unexpected players among the freshmen of Xiangbei High School.
"My name is Imamura Ichio, and I am the power forward (the original Nakaburi player)."
"My name is Ichiro Shenzong, and my position was the center in the middle school." (To be continued)
