"Beep...the game is over. Players from both sides stand in two groups and greet each other."

Following the referee's order, Xiangbei and Lingnan stood in two rows and nodded to each other.

At this time, the scoreboard showed Xiangbei 98:85 Lingnan.

So on this side of Xiangbei, everyone was smiling. Although Akagi and Mumu had tears in their eyes, the smiles in their eyes were enough to make them high-spirited.

On the other hand, Jun Uozumi was crying with tears streaming down his face, and Akira Sendōya looked indifferent, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Lingnan's head coach Shigeichi Taoka directly took the responsibility when interviewing reporters: "The Lingnan players played the best game, and I was the reason for the loss!"

Is it really on Coach Taoka?

No!

Because everyone knows that Xiangbei was able to defeat Lingnan entirely because the team was strong enough.

It’s even more because they have the field commander Chen Zhao who can bring out the best in the players on the field and limit the immortality!

Although the team captain, center Akagi, was replaced after playing only 15 minutes due to a foot injury, Chen Zhao and Hisashi Mitsui teamed up to establish the lead from the beginning.

Chen Zhao scored 26 points, 16 assists and 7 rebounds in this campaign, plus 4 steals from Xiandao.

Not only did he fully display the team's offensive firepower on the offensive end, he also completely suppressed Xiandao on the defensive end.

Mitsui Hisashi recorded a triple-double of 35 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, and his reputation once again spread throughout Kanagawa.

At the end of the joint finals, Xiangbei won the county competition with a perfect victory in three games, and Chen Zhao won the title of most valuable player of the county competition, also known as MVP.

At the same time, he and Mitsui were also selected for the best team in the county competition.

The other players on the best team in the county competition are: Jun Uozumi from Lingnan, Shinichi Mu and Ichiro Kamizou from Hainan.

Because except for Jun Uozumi, everyone else in this lineup has long-range shooting ability, so the good guys call it "one ape with four shots."

Chen Zhao looked at Akagi next to him: "Captain, you are so pitiful. The title of the top center in the county that you originally had within your grasp has actually been taken advantage of by the Great Ape King!!"

Akagi: "It's just a false reputation, why should I care? Compared to the team winning, this is nothing."

"What the captain said is great! When we face off against Sanno, you will be at a disadvantage in front of Kawada Masashi. Think about what you said today."

Akagi snorted coldly: "Sanno Industries' center Masashi Kawada? Shohoku wants to dominate the country. Of course I won't lose to him!"

Chen Zhao shook his head and said: "Although the captain is the number one center in Kanagawa, Masashi Kawada is proficient in all playing styles from point guard to center. His strength, footwork and shooting range are among the best in the country. By then, the captain will probably be completely suppressed. If not,

If we change the way we play, or pass the ball to our teammates, or cover for our teammates, we will probably lose at this point."

"Akagi, calm down, calm down! The closing ceremony is still being held!" Mumu Gongyan on the side quickly tried to persuade him.

Although Kaede Rukawa was not selected for the All-NBA Team, he was awarded the title of Best Rookie.

Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly transformed into a red-haired monkey, not only talking nonsense, but also looking unhappy.

Chen Zhao: "Huamichi, don't worry about the title of Best Newcomer. You won't be as indifferent as the wild monkeys in Hainan!"

Sakuragi: "Miyagi-senpai is right, he is just the best rookie, that is, there are wild monkeys and dead foxes who care. My great genius Sakuragi Hanamichi, who led Shohoku to the national competition, how can I care about a small existence?"

Best Newcomer?”

Rukawa Kaede: "Jealous."

"Damn fox, what did you say?"

"Sakuragi, calm down, calm down! The closing ceremony is still being held!" Konobu Mumu on the side tried to persuade him again.

Chen Zhao continued: "Hanamichi, as long as you continue to work hard and practice your scoring ability, when we win the national championship, your name Sakuragi Hanamichi will surely be resounding throughout the country!"

"Really, Miyagi-senpai, hahahahaha..., you can rest assured that Sakuragi Hanamichi, the King of Perseverance, will definitely continue to practice hard and lead Shohoku to dominate the country!"

"What a shame! Why do you lead Xiangbei?" Akagi scolded from the side.

…

The joint finals came to an end, and Chen Zhao was very happy.

Not just because he led the team to the national level and won the MVP, but more importantly, he made it!

Not just him, Mitsui, Tetsuo and the Sakuragi Legion all sent it.

Thanks to Danish fairy tales…

After getting the money, Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately changed his mind. With the help of Haruko, he bought a lot of basketball equipment, such as basketball shoes, training clothes, etc...

The Mito quartet played the small steel balls happily and then felt bored.

Gao Gongwang: "When I had no money before, I thought that when I had money, I would have fun hitting small steel balls!"

Ohkusu Yuji: "Yes, at that time I looked forward to hitting small steel balls every day."

Noma Chuichiro: "Now I feel that hitting small steel balls is meaningless."

Mito Yohei smiled and said: "Hanami has found his hobby, shouldn't we do the same?"

Gao Gongwang: "But what is our hobby?"

"Let's go watch basketball!"

Mito Yohei said: "I think basketball is very interesting!"

Idiot trio: "..."

…

The national competition will be held one month later during the summer vacation. In the following time, more rigorous training will be conducted northward.

Coach Anxi suddenly became more motivated, the "white-haired Buddha" disappeared, and the "white-haired devil" returned.

"Don't think that by defeating Hainan and Lingnan, you can sweep the country! Then let me tell you that since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will lose! If you indulge your carelessness, you may lose to a little-known team.

It’s a shame!”

"Next month's trip to Hiroshima is not for sightseeing, but to realize your dreams and to keep your youth without regrets. Therefore, I ask you to give up your impetuous and complacent mentality immediately and start to take root from now on.

Solid and serious training.”

The white-haired demon reappeared in the world, shocking everyone at once.

Even Sakuragi Hanamichi, who usually shouted "Daddy" and "Daddy" non-stop, was aware of the momentum.

At the same time, Rukawa Kaede took a step forward and bowed: "I implore the coach to continue to supervise and encourage us and continue to guide us."

Seeing Ruchuan's performance, Chen Zhao looked stunned and immediately felt a sense of oppression.

Why did Rukawa Kaede salute Anzai-sensei in such a big way? It must be because he communicated with Anzai-sensei because he wanted to go to the United States.

Mrs. Anzai must have told him the story of Tanizawa Ryuji.

Then Rukawa Kaede will train with a more severe attitude and momentum in the next meeting.

This is a good thing!

Wait, I am the MVP of the county competition now, and Mitsui is the leading scorer in the team. Once Rukawa Kaede starts training, won't he want to ravage both of us?

Haha, what are you afraid of? The MVP of the county competition who is already 178cm tall will be afraid of the best rookie in the district?
Chapter completed!
