After playing two training matches,
the time for the national competition was approaching quietly.
Due to the successive victories in two training matches,
Tanaka Shigeichi was in a good mood and decided to take the Ryonan players out camping the day before departure.
The main purpose was to hope that the Ryonan players could relax a little.
After all, after so many days of high-intensity training,
their strings were too tight.
The people of Ryonan happily followed Tanaka Shigeichi to the camp,
fully felt the breath of nature,
and felt unusually comfortable.
Soon,
the sun was about to set.
"Yanyi, go get the food?"
Tanaka Shigeichi ordered,
After so much trouble,
he was a little hungry.
"What to eat?"
Yokichi answered in confusion,
"Didn’t I ask you to prepare food?"
"I prepared it?"
Then,
Yokichi took out two bags of snacks from his pocket,
"Then where is the money I gave you?"
Tanabe Shigeichi was furious!
"Here!"
Yokichi took out money from another pocket.
Tanabe Shigeichi finally understood,
This guy didn’t buy anything,
They have nothing to eat tonight!
After hearing the bad news,
Everyone in Ryonan wailed, and the "four three three" blamed Qi Yanyi for coming.
At this time,
Xendo took out a fishing rod from nowhere,
"How about I go fishing?"
"Hurry up!"
Everyone hurriedly urged loudly,
Although fishing is slow,
It’s better than having nothing to eat.
Then,
Everyone had a clear division of labor,
Xendo was responsible for fishing,
As a culinary family, Uozumi made a fire and grilled fish.
Others helped out on the side.
And Tanaoka Shigeichi was still scolding Yanyi on the side.
"Sendoh! Hurry up! Everyone is waiting! They have already eaten up the fish!"
Sendoh looked at Kenichi Uesugi beside him,
felt helpless,
he had been fishing for so long,
but he had never felt such great pressure.
Finally, they worked until dark,
and they barely ate half full.
Fortunately, Hikoichi was not in charge of the tent,
so everyone was not left without a place to stay.
After this "unforgettable" night,
early the next morning,
everyone went home to pack their bags after returning to school,
making final preparations for going to Hiroshima.
After noon,
Tanoka Shigeichi gathered the Ryonan team again and startedHe began to lecture,
"Sendoh! What’s your dream?"
"Dream?"
Sendoh thought seriously,
"Oh!"
"Maybe just playing basketball and fishing without any worries! I love fishing the most!"
Seeing that Sendoh’s answer was far from what he expected,
Tanaka Shigeichi immediately turned to Uesugi Kenichi and asked,
"What about you?"
"Me!"
"I don’t like fishing, I don’t have the patience! But I like eating fish. The fish that Yuzumi grilled yesterday was really delicious."
"That’s not what I’m asking you!"
Tanaka Shigeichi was furious!
Seeing that the topic was diverted by these two people,
he had to put his hope on Yuzumi,
and Yuzumi did not disappoint him,
he answered seriously
"My dream is to win the national championship!"
"That’s right!"
Tanaka Shigeichi continued to say loudly,
"Ryonan is not aiming for the top 8 or top 4 in this national competition!"
"We are also a team that wants to win the national championship!"
"So, we can’t let our guard down in every game and we must go all out, understand?"
"Understood!"
That afternoon,
Tanaka Shigeichi and the Ryonan players finally boarded the train he had been waiting for for a long time.
Before this,
he had imagined countless times the scene of himself going to the national competition,
When he really embarked on this journey,
he found that he was not as excited as he imagined.
Tanaka Shigeichi looked at the players beside him,
some of them were sleeping,
some were laughing and playing,
Uesugi Kenichi was sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside the window,
and Sendoh was reading a magazine by himself.
Tanaka Shigeichi glanced around,
he felt that,
with the presence of these players,
this year’s Ryonan might really have a chance to win the final championship,
his bold words before departure were not just to inspire the morale of the players,
he believed that,
they really have the ability!
After several hours,
the whole Ryonan team finally arrived at the venue of the national competition: Hiroshima.
After resting for a night in the dormitory they had booked in advance,
they will attend the opening ceremony of the national competition the next day,
and after the opening ceremony,
the first round of the competition will begin immediately.
The schedule of the national competition is very tight,
there is one game every day,
so the pressure on the players is still quite high.
However,
Ryonan will not have a game tomorrow,
but they can rest for one more day.
According to the competition system of the national competition,
each districtThe number of places for the national competition in different regions is different. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
For example, Kanagawa,
there are 2 places every year,
and Luoan High School, which played a practice match with Ryonan before,
where they are in Kyoto, only has 1 place.
For another example, in the Tokyo area, []
they can have 3 places.
These differences in places make the total number of teams participating in the national competition 59.
Among them, 5 teams will have a bye in the first round,
and due to Hainan’s outstanding performance in the national competition last year,
they won a 4th seed for Kanagawa,
but this place does not belong to them,
but whoever wins the championship of the Kanagawa Prefecture Competition,
will be the 4th seed.
Now,
Ryonan has naturally become the beneficiary of the 4th seed,
while Hainan still has to start from the first round.
At night,
In the dormitory where Ryonan lived,
Shigeichi Tanaka called everyone to his room,
Then he handed a form to everyone with a serious face,
while saying,
"The competition group has completed the draw today. I just got the match list for this national competition. You can pass it around and take a look."
"Wow! It’s out so soon!"
"I wonder who our first round opponent will be! I’m so excited!"
"Are you stupid? We have a bye in the first round!"
When the match list was passed to Kenichi Uesugi,
he was very surprised after reading it,
This match list is completely different from the original book,
I don’t know if it was affected by his own time travel.
Without thinking too much,
Kenichi Uesugi continued to read,
and found that Ryonan’s draw this time was not good.
In the half of the zone where Ryonan is located,
there are strong teams such as Hakata University of Commerce, Changcheng, Daiei College, and Touou,
and there is also a Meiho Industry, which is known as the biggest dark horse this year,
It can be said that there are many stars!
No wonder coach Shigeka Takaoka’s face is so serious…
And in the other half of the zone where Hainan is located,
the situation seems to be much better.
Reading further,
Kenichi Uesugi found that
Ryonan’s opponent in the second round is the winner between Touou and Uematsu Commercial.
Kenichi Uesugi has never heard of Uematsu Commercial.
It should be a supporting team.
It seems that the opponent in the first game of the national competition should be Touou.
After everyone looked at the matchup table,
Tanabe Shigeichi said,
"As you can see, the half of the area we are in is quite strong, so everyone must not take it lightly and try to play well in every match.A game!"
"Yes!"
After the players left,
Tanaka Shigeichi frowned again when he looked at the matchup table.
The difficulty of this half-zone was beyond his expectations.
It seemed that it would take some effort to break through.
Then,
Tanaka Shigeichi crumpled up the matchup table and
threw it directly into the trash can.
"What seeding quota? It’s useless! ”
Early in the morning of the next day,
Tanoka Shigeka led the Ryonan players to the opening ceremony.
Since there was still the first round of matches today,
the opening ceremony was relatively simple.
59 teams were allowed to enter the venue one after another,
and then introduced one by one.
However,
although they were all teams participating in the national competition,
the treatment they received was completely different.
When the two Hiroshima teams playing at home came on the field,
there was a lot of cheering at the scene,
and when other teams came on the field,
the scene was full of It was unusually calm.
However, there are exceptions.
When the representative team of Akita Prefecture, Sanwang Industry, came on the field,
the scene was completely different.
Almost all the audience stood up,
and cheered for them.
Obviously,
this team that has won three consecutive national championships has conquered all the fans on the scene.
Even in away games,
they still have countless 4.0 fans supporting them!
Seeing that Sanwang Industry was so popular with the audience,
Yan Yi said enviously,
"When can we enjoy this kind of treatment when we come on the field!"
Taoka Shigeka, who was walking in front of him, said,
"With strength, we will naturally be respected by more people. When we win the national championship, it will definitely be a scene like this! ”
What surprised the Ryonan crowd was that,
when Hainan and Ryonan appeared,
there was a lot of applause and cheers at the scene,
it seemed that there were quite a few Kanagawa spectators at the scene,
which moved the players of both teams.
After the opening ceremony,
Amu from Hainan came to the crowd in Ryonan and found Kenichi Uesugi,
jokingly said,
"I heard that your half is under a lot of pressure, so don’t go home before us!"
Kenichi Uesugi responded with a smile,
"Don’t worry! We won’t fall down until we meet you."
"It looks like we’ll see each other in the finals!"
"Well, see you in the finals! ”
Although when we were in Kanagawa Prefecture,
Ryonan and Kainan were rivals,
But on the stage of the national competition,
They both still hope that the other party can go further. .
