Chapter 218 First Round Bye! National Competition Horror Schedule!
Shohoku High School Basketball Gym.
After a day of rest, all the team members assembled again.
Start preparing for the national competition in a month.
"Starting today, we will start special training before the national competition!"
"The amount of training this month will definitely be much higher than usual, I hope each of you will be prepared!"
"our target is!"
The players chanted in unison as Akagi mobilized.
"Dominate the country!!"
Yesterday was a real rest, and no one came to the basketball team for extra practice.
Today everyone is full of energy and has restored the momentum of the championship team.
The county competition has become a memory, and they are ready to fight the whole country!
"Ho Ho Ho ~"
"Everyone is in good spirits."
Following the voice, Coach Anzai walked in.
From the mental outlook, the old man is different from the usual days, and the whole person is obviously more energetic.
"Good coach!"
All the teammates roared tacitly, which scared Coach Anzai's double chin.
"Okay, okay, my heart can't take it, everyone just take action, don't have to shout...hehe..."
Coach Anzai walked in front of the crowd, looking at the faces full of fighting spirit, he became more and more satisfied.
Even Bai Ze is not as relaxed as before, although he is still very relaxed
"Let me tell you about our general arrangements for this month."
"In terms of training, I made a plan and let Akagi lead everyone to implement it."
"Then, there is good news for everyone."
"In last year's national competition, Kainan won the top four seats in the national competition, so he won the first-round bye right of this year's national competition.
As soon as the words came to this point, Yinjia also understood the meaning.
The situation like Kainan is indeed relatively rare. Last year, he was the top four in the country, but this year he didn't even qualify for the county competition.
So the first-round bye that Kainan got was vacant.
Then the meaning of Coach Anzai is obvious.
"Coach, do you mean that Kainan's first-round bye can be inherited by us? 々!"
Kogure was full of excitement. A total of 59 teams will participate in the national competition.
Divided into four groups of ABCD for group matches, the same as the county competition, it is a single elimination system, and finally the four groups will decide the first place, that is, the top four teams.
This is different from the round robin system of the county competition.
The semi-finals of the national competition is also a single-elimination system of fighting against each other.
In other words, between Group A and Group C, between Group B and Group D, two teams will eventually be determined.
There will be another game between these two teams to determine the winner and lose the national champion!
If the unseeded team finally wins the championship, it will play 6 games at full capacity. If the seeded team has a bye in the first round, it only needs to play 5 games.
and,
The competition system of the national competition is abnormal!
Since there are too many participating teams, and they are all from various counties, it is impossible to arrange accommodation and training.
Therefore, the four games of the group stage are back to back to back to back!
After 4 days of continuous play, four winning teams will be determined, and only after reaching the semi-finals can they get a day's rest.
Under such a perverted arena, the first-round bye is extremely precious!
The consumption caused by playing 3 games in a row and playing 4 games in a row is not at the same level at all.
Especially for a team like Shohoku with almost zero depth...it can't afford to burn.
"That's right, I also just got the news that we can inherit Kainan's status as the seed team, the first-rounder.
Coach Anzai gave an answer that was enough to make Kogure jump.
"Yes!!!"
"This is definitely great news! In this way, we will have the opportunity to observe our opponents in the second round!"
Bai Ze frowned slightly,
The deviation has continued.
Since Shohoku has become the champion of Kanagawa and inherited the seeded team, the group opponents of the national competition will inevitably change.
I don't know if under this deviation, the so-called death group will appear again.
No matter what, Sannoh's level will definitely be waiting for them, at least not in the group.
"Everyone be quiet." Coach Anzai pressed his hand.
"The first-round bye is also a double-edged sword, especially for a team like ours that has no experience in national competitions.
"We didn't have time to adapt to the intensity of the game, and the opponent had just won a game and was in good form."
"So, I plan to arrange two to three practice games for everyone during this month, so that everyone can adapt to the competition intensity of national-level teams in advance.
"Our practice match opponent is tentatively scheduled to be Changcheng High School in Shizuoka Prefecture, and I'm still meeting with them at the moment, lol~"
Coach Anzai finished the arrangement with a smile, obviously he was very satisfied...
But Kogure, who had been following the national competition, panicked.
"Changcheng High School?! They were the top eight teams in the country last year!"
Kogure yelled out in disbelief, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, making Shohoku's substitutes look terrified!
National top eight!
Just as the atmosphere spread, everyone seemed to suddenly realize a problem,
Eh? No, the four sons of the country like us have won..
Thinking of this, everyone's expression turned sharply...
Coach Anzai roared with a smile, "." That's right, we are the team that defeated the national semi-finals, so don't worry too much, just keep each other competitive.
"Miko Chai."
Akagi Takenori murmured.
When they met again this time, the two finally stood on the same starting line.
"Okay! Whether it's last year's quarterfinals or what, we can't lose!"
"Cheer up, training starts now!"
Knowing that the opponent in the practice match is Okoshiba, Inki Takenori felt as if he had been beaten.
Life is alive, isn't it just to fight for breath, especially in front of friends.
Akagi, who has been suppressed for many years, finally has a chance to feel proud.
"Hahaha, don't care what he is in the quarterfinals! I don't care about this talent! My goal is only goats!" (Lee Li Zhao) "Stupid! People call them Sannoh!"
"Xiaobai, I don't plan to let you and Sakuragi participate in the practice match with Changcheng High School."
During training, Coach Anzai called Bai Ze to him alone.
Bai Ze was a little surprised,
He understands not letting Sakuragi participate, because it is necessary to hurry up and strengthen Sakuragi's shooting.
If you don't let yourself participate, I can't figure it out...
You can't let yourself practice with Sakuragi, and then you go home and drink tea...
Bai Ze promises that he doesn't have that patience, he and Sakuragi must die one by one....
"Coach, I'm not very good at teaching others to train, I don't practice very much myself..."
Coach Anzai laughed loudly when he heard this, but Bai Ze was really honest.
"It's not Sakuragi that won't let you go."
"Instead, I want everyone to taste the taste of defeat."
A stern look appeared on Coach Anzai's face. .
