Time flies so fast and it’s May in a blink of an eye.

The county competition is about to begin.

But before that, Chen Zhao had to accomplish one thing.

Because in June, in distant Sweden, a European Football Championship will be held that will go down in history.

The reason why I pay attention to this European Cup is because the winner is unexpected.

Danish fairy tale...

Because it is unexpected, the odds are high.

Nowadays, the island country is one of the most developed countries, so the sports betting industry is also very prosperous.

Seize the opportunity and make a reasonable and legal profit...

Of course, you can't do this kind of thing by yourself, because the island country's laws do not allow minors to engage in the gambling industry.

It seems that laws all over the world do not allow it.

But Chen Zhao has a way.

For example, Mitsui has a good brother, Tetsuo, who is over 18 years old...

Just do whatever you want, so after training that day, Chen Zhao took Mitsui to a cold drink shop and explained the strategy to him in detail.

"European Cup...are you optimistic about Denmark?"

"That's not true. I just think Denmark has the strength and the odds are high. In addition, the competition is held in Northern Europe. If we win the championship, we will pay it forward. As the saying goes, if you buy the football lottery backwards, the villa is close to the sea!"

"Okay!" Mitsui waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Tetsuo will help us."

"We?" Chen Zhao blinked.

"What's wrong? Only you can buy it, Tetsuo and I can't buy it?" Mitsui raised his eyebrows.

"You put it that way, I think we can find a few more people to come in and make some money together through youth friendship." Chen Zhao patted his head and said.

"Who do you want to bring in?" Mitsui asked doubtfully.

"Haha, of course it's the guy wearing cloth shoes during training." Chen Zhao said.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is indeed simple enough.

Even if he devotes himself wholeheartedly to basketball, he still wears a pair of cloth shoes.

Only when participating in practice matches, he wears the sneakers his father bought for him.

And the Sakuragi Legion is also a bunch of poor people.

I didn’t have much pocket money, so I could only play games with my beloved little steel balls.

When I went to watch a Sakuragi game at another school, four people could only ride a small electric bike, and the speed was not as fast as that of a girl riding a bicycle...

But their teenage friendship is very touching. He used his part-time job money to buy video equipment for Sakuragi, which has helped him continuously improve his basketball skills...

Therefore, Chen Zhao invited the Sakuragi Legion and murmured...

Soon, the Sakuragi Legion collected a sum of money and came out.

In this way, the remaining time is to train with peace of mind and prepare for the next county competition.

The grouping results of the Kanagawa Prefecture competition have also come out. Shohoku and the Shoyo basketball team, the runner-up in last year's prefecture competition and the top 16 in the national competition, were assigned to a group. Seeing this result, Taoka breathed a sigh of relief.

Four days later, Shohoku will face its first opponent, the Miuradai Basketball Team.

On May 19th, Shohoku’s first game was against Miuradai.

Entering the basketball stadium, Chen Zhao looked up and saw that there were not many people in the auditorium. Most of the seats were empty. The number of spectators watching the game was really... very few.

So when Ling Nan and his party walked into the auditorium, the voices of the audience were clearly audible.

"Ah~, he's from Lingnan High School. Where's the immortal way? Which one is the immortal way?"

"It's the one with the spiky hair!"

"How handsome!!"

"They are quite handsome, but I think there are two handsome ones in Xiangbei as well."

"Are you talking about the short No. 7 and the tall No. 11?"

"yes!"

"It's really okay, but it's far worse than the immortal way..."

…

It seems that when it comes to talking about handsome guys, the audience who came to watch the game have nothing to talk about.

There is no way, at this period, basketball in the island country is still in a barren era, there are not even a few regular outdoor basketball courts, and few ordinary people pay attention to basketball games, let alone high school students' games.

The game started soon, and coach Anxi sent out the strongest lineup.

Center Akagi, power forward Sakuragi, small forward Rukawa, shooting guard Mitsui, and point guard Chen Zhao.

When he heard that he had appeared, Sakuragi immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed: "I am a player? Wahahahaha, Dad, you really have a sharp vision. You know the true strength of this great genius like me best. Today I will lead Xiangbei..."

"Bang~" Sakuragi's bragging had just begun, but was suppressed by Akagi's Iron Fist.

"Everyone follows the coach's arrangement and focuses on his opponent. We must defeat Shohoku in one fell swoop and let Hainan know how powerful we are!" Miuradai's captain Murasame Kengo shouted!

"Yes!" the team members responded in unison.

Murasame Kengo nodded with satisfaction, walked to the center of the field, shook hands with Akagi, and said with a smile: Akagi, don't think that just because you Xiangbei won against a mere Lingnan, you can be arrogant!"

"Our Miuratai is not a second-rate team like Lingnan. Before we defeat Hainan University and Mu Shenyi, our Miuratai will not lose to anyone. Whether it is you Xiangbei or Lingnan, we will not lose to anyone."

Put it in our eyes."

Chen Zhao couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

It can be seen that the captain of Miuradai was completely affected by the result of Shohoku's victory over Lingnan, otherwise he would not be so boastful.

Under normal circumstances, people who behave like this are either super pushy guys like Sakuragi and Kiyota, or they are fierce and cruel.

As the captain of the basketball team, he doesn't seem to be as arrogant as Sakuragi.

From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, Akagi encountered this kind of provocation a lot, and it had long been indifferent, so he didn't react at all.

Akagi had no reaction, and a certain ape king in the stands was unhappy!

What?

Merely Lingnan...

Second-rate team?

"Akagi, don't be merciful, use all your strength to teach me a lesson to these arrogant guys! Miuradai is not qualified to make such a noise!"

"Mitsui, come on!"

"Sakuragi, beat that arrogant No. 4!!"

"Rukawa, don't leave them the slightest hope!!!"

Except for the head coach Shigeichi Taoka who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, everyone in Lingnan was excited and shouting.

By the way, there is one more.

Sendō Akira didn't yell either.

Because he wasn't there.

Probably went to buy drinks.

…

When the referee's opening whistle sounded, Akagi was clearly the winner and successfully jumped the ball. After Chen Zhao grabbed the basketball, he ran directly to the basket.

He is so fast that he can drive to the basket as fast as he can and score an easy layup.

Less than 3 seconds into the game, Xiangbei had already scored.

"Miyagi Miyagi, I can't do this without you!"

"The fertile land of the palace city, the king of heaven descends to earth!"

Suddenly, the Miyagi Guards appeared out of nowhere and shouted loudly.

It attracted countless eyes at once.

"It doesn't matter! The little guy on the other side is fast, we just need to pay attention." Murasame Kengo said loudly, and patted player No. 5 on the shoulder.

Player No. 5, Kazuo Araki, is 187cm tall and is a tall point guard. Standing next to Chen Zhao, there is an obvious height difference.

Chen Zhao is now 175cm tall, but in the eyes of Kazuo Araki, he is still considered small.

"Come on, little one, you are very popular. Come and defend me."

"Hey, you little one, don't you have the courage? Are you afraid of being embarrassed in front of girls?"

Kazuo Araki kept chattering while controlling the ball, constantly provoking.
