Shobei's victory over Hainan, the biggest butterfly effect caused by Yang Jian was not that Shobei was in the sports news, but that Hanamichi Sakuragi retained the airplane head hairstyle.

In the manga, Sakuragi made a pass error at the last moment against Hainan, causing the team to lose. Afterwards, he blamed himself and cut his hair into a monk's head.

It is worth mentioning that Sakuragi's passing error this time was not a technical problem. It was all because Kazuma Takasago and Takenori Akagi looked so similar. They are both black Japanese.

The current Sakuragi is much better than himself at the same time in the comics. The most intuitive thing is his performance in the team training. Mitsui Hisashi cannot guard against him. The techniques taught by Yang Jian are very practical and maximize Sakuragi's physical advantages.

He will get deep into the basket, turn around and shoot with one hand so fast and high that even Akagi can't block the shot.

Sakuragi's abandonment of the standard shooting posture is the key to his strength. There are traces of his normal movements being too slow.

In the manga, Sakuragi suddenly practiced shooting under the basket for three days after losing to Hainan. The training progress was so slow that it made people speechless. Since he could learn it in three days, why didn't Coach Anxi let him practice it earlier and had to wait for him to discover himself?

What if you practice more if you don’t have enough?

And until he participated in the national competition, Sakuragi always shot in a standard posture, without leaning his body, and jumping straight up. His shooting speed was not fast, and his shots were often blocked by his opponents. This number was simply useless.

Now Sakuragi has practiced turning and half-hook, turning to the middle and baseline, hooking when the distance is far, and dunking when the distance is close. He has his own unique trick, and he went on the court to challenge Hainan's most insignificant power forward Masaki Muto.

It's the upper hand. Even if Mu Shen defends Sakuragi, it will be difficult to restrict him and he won't be able to cover him.

Even if Sakuragi can catch the ball with one hand, it takes a lot of hard work to practice shooting well. He is willing to spend time practicing, and practicing shooting is a joy for him.

In addition, Yang Jian suggested in advance that Coach Anxi should go for a physical examination and not be too tired. Coach Anxi listened to Yang Jian and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor discussed the condition with him and prescribed some medicine. Afterwards, Coach Anxi had a good rest for three days.

There will be no more heart attacks.

On June 26, Shohoku played against Buri High School, the weakest among the top four.

The people in Buri have watched many games in Xiangbei and still don't know how to defend Yang Jian. He is too tall and the point guard cannot defend him, so he can only send big men. And big men will be passed by him because of his obvious speed.

At a disadvantage. If double-teamed, Yang Jian will pass the ball to assist his teammates to score.

Yang Jian and Hisashi Mitsui made crazy three-pointers, and Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede and others used dunks to destroy the opponent's will. The half-time lead was as high as 55 points.

The most inconspicuous person on the court is Shohoku's main player Takenori Akagi last season. Because he rarely participates in fast breaks, the number of shots in positional battles has also been reduced, and his statistics are generally more on the defensive end.

The change in role allowed Akagi to stay healthy and did not sprain his ankle against Hainan. However, his data were average and it was difficult to get a walk quota from Shenzhen University. Of course, this is not a big deal. The world restarted after the summer.

Akagi was destined to miss that university.

In the end, Shohoku defeated Buri 155-45 by 110 points, advancing to the national competition in advance with two consecutive victories.

The Buri players were quite powerless. They were all beaten to tears and completely lost their confidence.

Many viewers wonder how they made it to the semi-finals if they were so weak? The reason is simple. Buri is one of the four major seed teams and directly advances to the top 8. It only needs one win to advance to the semi-finals.

This seeding spot in the top eight was earned by them finishing in the top four in the Kanto Regional Competition in the winter. Now three of the team's third-year starters have graduated, and their strength has dropped a lot.

The key battle of this round is Lingnan vs Hainan, which will determine which team can qualify for the national competition.

The result was similar to the situation in the original manga. Lingnan firmly took the initiative in the first half thanks to the performance of Sendō Akira and Fukuda Yoshiaki. In the second half, center Jun Uobashi was sent off for five fouls. Hainan completed the reversal in overtime.

The method of Yuzhu's foul has changed, but the outcome remains the same. Mu Shen hit Yuzhu out of position when playing a pick-and-roll, and he couldn't keep up with Mu Shenyi's speed. After the game against Xiangbei, Hainan became more aggressive in fast breaks.

They seized on the opponent's weakness. Lingnan couldn't live without Yuzhu, and the substitute center was too weak.

Losing to Hainan means that Lingnan has missed the national competition. It is impossible for them to defeat Xiangbei.

The final battle turned into a friendly match between Lingnan and Xiangbei, and there was no atmosphere of excitement.

Reinnan's coach, Shigeichi Tagoka, is always very polite. When he sees coach Anzai, he bows first and greets him with greetings. Shohoku and Lingnan have a good relationship, and coach Anzai is embarrassed to kill his juniors. When Shohoku is far ahead, he replaces the main player.

Only Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi were left to practice on the court, and finally won by 52 points.

Yuzhu is slow and unable to defend against pick-and-rolls, and he is beaten and loses his temper. After being eliminated, he can give up his basketball dream and inherit the family business and become a chef with peace of mind.

In fact, Yuzhu is more suitable to be a chef, and he is very good at peeling radishes in the national competition. He is just taller when playing basketball, and was deceived by Shigeichi Taoka.

Shohoku entered the national competition with an undefeated record, but Takenori Akagi did not cry like in the manga. His goal really became to dominate the country, instead of crying in tears after entering the national competition.

Others are also very happy, and the situation has opened up.

The Hainan team easily defeated Buri and won the runner-up in the county competition, and entered the summer national competition with Xiangbei.

Yang Jian was unanimously elected as the MVP of the competition and received a small copper trophy, which seemed to be shaped like something that could be used to drink water.

He had a triple-double in every game, and only the game against Lingnan did not score 50 points. The playing time was too short. Facts have proved that only coach Anxi can guard Yang Jian.

Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa were also selected for the best team, and the other two were Akira Sendō and Shinichi Maki. Ichiro Kamizou and Takenori Akagi were excluded from the best team.

The biggest highlight is that the three first-year players from Shohoku were selected to the best team together. Their statistics are very good. Because Sakuragi is good at fast breaks, his statistics are unexpectedly better than Akagi. He scored a double-double every game and performed many explosive dunks.

.

In terms of playing style, Sakuragi also plays better than Akagi. Shohoku now relies on offense to win, and Akagi's defensive role is not that prominent.

After the celebration, coach Anxi also brought "bad news" to the players. Although Xiangbei County defeated Hainan in the competition, according to the rules, they will not become a seeded team in the national competition.

The Japanese college basketball competition system is very sound, and the specific basis for team classification and seeding is the results of this year's regional competition.

This year, before Yang Jian, Rukawa Kaede and others entered school, Xiangbei had already played in the winter trials once, and that was the time when Xiangbei was eliminated by Lingnan in the first round. Determining the seeding team for the national competition depends on the superposition of two results, and Xiangbei certainly cannot win.

Hainan won one championship and one runner-up.

Moreover, only one team from the same region can become a seed team. No matter how strong the other team is, it can only endure and be in a disadvantageous situation when it comes to grouping in the national competition.

Xiangbei entered the national competition for the first time and played one more game than Hainan. Who the opponent is depends on the draw.

Each team got a long vacation to prepare for the national competition, which will be held in more than a month. Yang Jian took another ten days off and flew to the United States for vacation with Izumi Sakai.

Yang Jian is very familiar with the United States and took Sakai Quanshui on a tour. Not only did they go to Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, but also to the casino city of Las Vegas.

Izumi Sakai had never been to a casino before, so it was a very new experience. What was even more exciting was that Yang Jian won 1 million US dollars gambling effortlessly.

Their last stop was Indianapolis, where they checked into the Conrad Hotel. The room they chose was a number Sakai Izumi particularly liked. When waiting for the 2002 Men's Basketball World Championships, Yang Jian will go to Indianapolis, and Sakai Izumi can

Come to him and book this room then.

Yang Jian also left his phone number. It was too long and difficult to remember. Impressive numbers are more suitable for passwords.

Yang Jian told Sakai Quanshui to come to him and not to give up the meeting because of concerns about age. Because it was related to her body, he hoped that she could survive.
