The hotel where Takeishi Middle School rests is only ten minutes away from the Tokyo Gymnasium. Early in the morning, the Takeishi Middle School team members boarded the bus to the gymnasium.

There are a total of fifty-nine teams participating in the national competition, divided into four major groups ABCD. At the same time, each group is divided into two groups for competition, each group has 7-8 teams.

Generally speaking, there will be two seed-level teams in a large group. The top eight teams in the past are usually the seed teams of this year. Often, these teams will get a bye in the first round. If you have poor luck in the draw,

, ordinary teams will meet seeded teams after passing the first round.

However, Takeishi Middle School had better luck. In the second round, they did not meet the seeded team, but faced another team that participated in the first round.

In the second game, Takeishi Middle School faced a team from Kagawa Prefecture. The opponent was also entering the national competition for the first time and was not very famous.

But when the players from Takeshi Middle School arrived at the venue, the stands were still full of spectators. But most of these spectators were not here to watch games from schools like Takeshi Middle School. Today is the second day of the national competition, and all the seeds

Teams have games today, and most people come to watch those teams play.

Takeishi's game is the second one today. Before them, their group will play a game first. The winning team will face Takeishi's group in the 16-to-8 game.

Team.

So after arriving at the stadium, Masayoshi Anzai and his team members found a seat in the stands and sat down. In the stadium, there were two teams warming up.

Soon, Wu Dao was attracted by a handsome young man who was taking a layup on the court. Without him, it was just because Wu Dao looked at the opponent one more time in the huge crowd.

It was a handsome young man wearing a white No. 12 jersey. The young man had short short hair and fair skin. After the layup, he stood under the basket and passed the ball to his teammates. Every move he made faintly exuded composure.

leadership qualities.

Because of the distance, Budo couldn't quite estimate the opponent's height, but when he saw the opponent stand under the basket after a layup and compared it to the height of the basket, he found that the opponent's height was around 175cm, which is considered high among junior high school teams.

Medium level.

The reason why Martial Arts noticed the opponent among so many people was mainly because of the opponent's solid muscles.

It was obviously a junior high school match, but the No. 12 on the court had muscles that far exceeded those of his peers. The loose jersey couldn't cover the opponent's figure at all. Such physical conditions made Budo subconsciously think of Shinomiya Tano.

In junior high school, most players have a body like Budo and Hisashi Mitsui, thin, muscular but not obvious. Only a few strikers have exaggerated tendons, but they are also very few, so when Budo sees that white guy

When I was on the 12th, I immediately fell in love with that person.

"Hey, Budo, what are you looking at?" Hisashi Mitsui was sitting next to Budo in Jinguji Temple. He noticed that Budo was staring at a person in the stadium. Looking along Budo's gaze, he didn't notice it.

What's abnormal, so I asked in confusion.

"Xiao San, have you seen the white team's No. 12? Those muscles and figure seem to be Shinomiya No. 1, the smaller one."

"Do you know who that person is?"

Jinguji Budo pointed to the number 12 of the white team on the court and asked Mitsui Hisashi next to him.

"Haha, have you noticed?"

"The white team is the seed team of our group, Hokkaido Iwamizu Middle School."

"Yanshui Middle School was ranked fourth in the country last year. The number 12, called Mu Shenyi, is Yanshui's starting defender."

"Last year he was only a freshman and averaged 16 points and 7 assists per game. He is an opponent that cannot be underestimated."

The person who answered the martial arts question was not Hisashi Mitsui, but the coach sitting on the other side of the martial arts, Masayoshi Anzai. It was his job as a coach to study opponents. In Group C, where Takeshi Middle School was located, he had all the noteworthy opponents.

They have all studied it. He was ranked fourth in the country last year. How could he not study it?

"Mu Shenyi? That fair-skinned boy is called Mu Shenyi?"

Jinguji Budo asked in surprise, the expression on his face was a bit astonished. He was too familiar with the name Mu Shenyi, but the young man who was passing the ball to his teammates under the basket really had no way to compare with what was in Budo's mind.

The middle-aged man's figure overlaps.

This difference is really too big.

"What's the matter? What's all the fuss about? Do you know him?" Anxi Zhengyi glanced at Martial Arts, a little puzzled.

"Well, I've heard of it before. It's the first time I've seen him. I didn't expect him to look like this." Wu Dao quickly shook his head and said perfunctorily, then leaned forward slightly and looked at the boy No. 12 of the white team carefully.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

"This handsome boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually the first repeater in SD. His skin is so fair, he must have not started surfing yet."

"I don't know how good my football skills are. If I play against the mistress."

Jinguji Martial Arts watched for a while and suddenly turned his head to look at Mitsui Shou, with a strong curiosity suddenly emerging in his heart.

In the past, when he visited SD's forum, he would always see people discussing whether Wu Kongsan could compete with Mu Shenyi. In the third year of high school, he didn't know what the situation would be like when the two faced off against each other. But now, the martial arts

It’s a chance to see Mitsui Hisashi and Makoto Shinichi face off.

Of course, the premise is that Yansui Middle School can win this game, and Takeishi Middle School can also win the next game. Only in this way can Takeishi have a chance to play against Yansui.

"What are you looking at?" Mitsui Shou felt Wu Dao's gaze and turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just want to see who can win if you play against No. 12."

Wu Dao grinned, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Is there any need to think about it? How could I lose?" Mitsui Hisashi curled his lips and said disdainfully. However, although he said this, his eyes were solemnly looking at the young man in the stadium.

He sat up slightly.

Mitsui Shou said that he could not lose, but in his heart he was obsessed with Mu Shenyi.

In the middle of the court, the referee had already walked to the center of the court and blew the whistle. The two teams returned to the rest area to make final adjustments, and then began to take their positions in the center circle at the referee's signal.

The opponent against Iwamizu Middle School was Serei Middle School in Tottori Prefecture. Like Takeishi, it entered the national competition for the first time this year and passed the first round.

The mobility of junior high school basketball team members is relatively high. Generally speaking, in addition to the traditional strong basketball schools that consolidate the status of their teams through recruitment, the average school is stronger every year and weaker every year, so every year, there will be

A new face enters the national competition.

Although there are many new teams entering the country, judging from previous years, the top eight teams in the country rarely change, and the established strong teams are getting stronger every year.

On the court, the players from Yanshui Middle School and Shirong Middle School took their positions in the center circle. At first glance, the average height of the players from Yanshui Middle School was much higher than that of the players from Shirong Middle School.

The two centers who jumped the ball in the center circle, Yanmizu's height, were visually over 190cm tall, but the boy who was playing against that player was only in his early 180s, which was obviously more than half a head shorter.

The game hasn't even started yet, but the morale of Shirong Middle School has already been suppressed.

"It wasn't obvious during the warm-up, but it was obvious once the two teams stood in the center circle."

"Shirong's average height is too short. If there are no particularly strong players, this game will be over before it even begins."

Anxi Zhengyi clasped his hands on his chest and whispered, his expression full of sorrow.

He is not worried about Shirong Middle School, he is worried about his own Takeishi Middle School. Their opponent in today's game is not strong, Anzai Masayoshi has confidence in his team. But after the victory, there is a high probability that they will encounter Iwashui Middle School.

In terms of average height, Takeishi is actually not as good as Iwashi. At least in the two positions of center and power forward, Takeishi definitely has no advantage.
