"Xiao San, Xiao San, please take a look at your rating."
"Very, very la! Hahaha!"
Takeshi Jinguji looked at the player ratings for Mitsui Hisashi in the magazine. The six-dimensional diagram seemed to be shrinking into a ball, which surprised Takeshi and amused him at the same time.
Mitsui Shou, this arrogant guy, what would his face look like if he saw that he had such a rating in the eyes of the media! Wudao was already looking forward to it just thinking about it.
"What is that?!" When Mitsui saw Wudao suddenly burst into laughter, he walked over with a confused look on his face and looked at the magazine in Miyagi Ryouta's hand.
"B-level?"
"Why did my mid-range shot only give me 6 points?! My speed is not only 7 points?!"
"Not to mention my three-point shooting. Which idiot who doesn't understand basketball gave me this rating?!"
"ah?!"
Below Mitsui's player rating and six-dimensional graph, there is a very brief player evaluation: "Mitsui, captain of the Xiangbei High School basketball team, has average physical fitness and is relatively good at shooting."
Mitsui saw his player information at a glance. Just by looking at the score, Mitsui frowned. When he saw the player comments below, his anger immediately surged up and he started yelling in dissatisfaction.
Even though he was the captain of Xiangbei, this guy's personality was not very calm. Mitsui Shou, who felt that he was being looked down upon, was really very angry at this moment, but he had no place to vent.
Suddenly, Mitsui glanced at Jinguji Takeshi who was smiling, and immediately looked for Takeshi's player rating. Soon, above his Mitsui player rating, he saw Takeshi's rating and six-dimensional diagram.
"AA grade."
"Mid-range shooting 10, three-point shooting 10, defense 9, strength 8, speed 10, rebounding 4."
"Jinguji Budo, the first-year ace of the Shohoku High School basketball team in Kanagawa Prefecture, one of the 'Kanagawa Twin Stars', has excellent physical fitness, accurate shooting, and sharp breakthroughs. He is called the 'savior of basketball' by the local media in Kanagawa."
Seeing the AA rating marked in gold and the almost full six-dimensional chart at the back, Mitsui Shou's expression suddenly twisted, jealousy making him look completely different.
"How is this possible? How come you are AA grade, while I am only B? How come you are so much higher than me?"
"Damn it... Those guys who don't know anything about football actually dared to look down on me!"
"I must prove my ability in the competition!"
Just as everyone was reading the magazine, the train had already arrived at the station. Led by Coach Anxi, the Xiangbei team got on the train one after another and sat in their respective seats.
Takeshi and Miyagi Ryouta sat in a row, while Mitsui Hisashi and Akagi sat directly opposite them.
After getting in the car and sitting in his seat, Mitsui Shou still looked at the magazine in his hand with an angry look on his face, his eyes fixed on his own rating, as if as long as he stared at the rating, the rating would change.
"Hey, Xiaosan, look, there's another player evaluation below me?"
"It's too far away. I can't see clearly. Can you read it to me?"
Jinguji Budo was still in a state of mischief at this moment. He was sitting right opposite Mitsui Hisashi, with the magazine placed on the small table in front of him. How could he not see clearly
"... ..."
"Asshole!" Mitsui Shou cursed, and seemed to be really angry. He slid the magazine in his hand forward and sent it to Wudao. Wudao smiled and patted the table with both hands, pressed on the magazine, then slowly picked it up and started to read it.
The only two players on the Xiangbei side who have their own player profiles are Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi. The performances of others like Akagi and Miyagi on the court were just average and did not enter the field of vision of these magazine editors.
After looking at the information of his own team, Wudao curiously looked for the team information of Ryonan High School. As expected, the personal information of Ryonan High School's Shinomiya Tano was also posted on the magazine.
As the new overlord of Kanagawa Prefecture, Ryonan High School's team rating is exactly the same as Shohoku, which is B.
However, the only player who came into the magazine editor's view and had a personal rating was Shimotsuna.
"AA grade."
"Mid-range shooting 7, three-point shooting 3, defense 10, strength 10, speed 10, rebounding 9."
"Shinomiya Tano, the first-year ace of the Ryonan High School basketball team in Kanagawa Prefecture, one of the 'Kanagawa Twin Stars', has a physical fitness like a beast, and can move freely in the opponent's penalty area. He is called the 'savior of basketball' by the local media in Kanagawa."
Like Jinguji Budo, he is also rated AA, but his attributes are completely different from Budo's. His defense, strength, speed, and rebounding are all surprisingly high.
Wu Dao was not surprised at all that Shigong Tianye received such an evaluation. What surprised him was that none of the other players of Ryonan High School who could not be ignored were on the list. Moreover, Wu Dao felt that this B-level team rating was a pitfall no matter how he looked at it.
This rating of Xiangbei is understandable, after all, they are the runner-up team. The bench depth in the team is shallow, although the starting lineup has good combat effectiveness, but to be honest, anyone who understands penalty kicks knows that Xiangbei does not have the potential to win the championship.
But Ryonan High School is different. Their team is definitely a strong team in this national competition. Sendoh and Fujima Kenji in their team are definitely the core ace players even if they were placed in the top four teams in previous sessions.
A two-meter-tall person like Jun Uozumi is rare in today's basketball environment, and it is definitely not the case that he doesn't even have a name.
It is even foreseeable that the opponents that Ryonan will meet will definitely be quite desperate. Those people will definitely wonder why Ryonan, who is rated B, is so strong.
People like Sendoh and Fujima are seriously underestimated by the media.
"This magazine is really a scam. If some teams take the magazine's rating seriously, they will probably suffer a lot!"
Jinguji Budo sighed, then flipped through the magazine and found the team information of their next opponent. In the first game, they will play against Changcheng, which is rated B. If they play in the second round, they will meet Touou, and Touou High School is rated A.
Both teams have a player with personal data. Chang Cheng's second-year ace center Mikoshiba was rated as an A-level player, and Touou High School's second-year point guard Nan Lie was also rated as an A-level player. It is worth mentioning that Mikoshiba's mid-range shooting, defense, strength, and rebounding data all have 8 points.
Not only is it even, but it's also pretty high.
Nan Lie scored 9 points in mid-range shots and three-pointers, and 8 points in speed and defense. Overall, he was quite outstanding.
When Wudao turned to the player profile of Sanno Industrial, he was surprised to find that in addition to the AA team rating of Sanno, the only player with an individual rating was Sawakita Eiji.
Budou is not stupid enough to think that Sanno has no other outstanding players.
I'm afraid Sanno has a very close relationship with this magazine.
"AA grade."
"Mid-range shooting 10, three-point shooting 10, defense 10, strength 8, speed 10, rebounding 4."
"Sawakita Eiji, the first-year ace of Yamako Industry in Akita Prefecture, the top high school student in Japan!"
A top-level rating, a set of almost perfect data performance, and a simple evaluation, all of which brought Zebei Rongji's status to the full level.
Wudao glanced at Zebei Rongzhi and saw that he had the same strength rating of 8 as him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"This thin boy is so thin that I can't kill him even if I meet him." Wu Dao muttered, closed the magazine with great boredom, and handed it to Miyagi.
He was somewhat disappointed with this so-called magazine rating, which was very distorted. Wu Dao did not care about a distorted rating.
On the contrary, Miyagi took the magazine and began to read it with great interest, sighing from time to time. It seemed that this guy was very keen on reading these so-called "sharp review" magazines.
"Wow, the ace of Aiwa Academy is called the Star of Aichi. It's much more domineering than your 'Twin Stars of Kanagawa'."
"The rating is actually AA, the same as you. Both mid-range and three-point shots are maxed out. Mitsui-senpai, it's higher than yours!"
"Ohhh, you are worthy of being the Mountain King, so awesome!"
Miyagi's sighs and praises sounded more like sarcasm to Mitsui Shou. Although Miyagi didn't mean it that way, Mitsui Shou, who was pretending to close his eyes and resting with his hands folded in front of his chest, was frowning and in a bad mood.
The same situation also happened in another carriage of the same train.
Hongming Yueyue was holding a basketball weekly magazine in his hand, and was discussing the ratings of various teams with his teammates. Shigong Tianye was sitting by the window, with his head on the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside the car listlessly. Xiandao was sitting next to him, listening to Yueyue's evaluation of various teams with great interest.
When Sendoh heard that Sanno's Zekita Eiji was rated AA, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Memories of his junior high school days flooded into his mind, and suddenly a figure that he could never defeat back then emerged in his mind.
Hearing the name again, Sendoh became interested and said to Shinomiya Tano beside him, "Tano, when we meet Sanno Industrial and Zebei Rongzhi, I will deal with him!"
Even though they haven't even played the first game of the national tournament yet, Sendoh is already considering the battle against Sannoh.
"Hmm? Whatever you want."
"It doesn't matter what happens, as long as I can meet that guy again!"
"This time, I will definitely defend him!"
Shigong Tianye replied casually, then muttered. He closed his eyes, and a figure in a red jersey appeared in front of him, fading back and shooting in front of him. Shigong Tianye stretched his arms as hard as he could, but still couldn't reach the flying basketball.
Sigong Tianye, who was resting with his eyes closed, frowned slightly, moved his body, adjusted his sitting posture, and began to deduce in his mind again. From the beginning to the end, he never regarded those enemies in the national competition as opponents!
...
The subtle roar of the train echoed in the carriage.
This train to Tokyo is getting closer and closer to Tokyo.
Two hours later, the train stopped at the Tokyo station, and Coach Anzai led the Shohoku students off the train.
Akagi Takenori stood on this unfamiliar platform, looking at the scene in front of him, and his mood became excited. He had been thinking about the national competition for so many years, and this year he finally came here!
After arriving in Tokyo, Coach Anzai quickly took the players to the hotel where they were staying. The hotel was very close to the competition venue. They arrived early and there were vacancies in the hotel near the venue.
After checking in and packing up, Coach Anxi asked the players to change into training uniforms and hurried to the stadium to familiarize themselves with the venue. Although the Xiangbei High School led by Coach Anxi has not entered the national competition for many years, Coach Anxi's connections and resume are there.
For Coach Anxi, it is easy to take the players to the stadium early to familiarize them with the course.
In the few days before and after the start of the game, the main task of the Xiangbei players is to adjust their mentality, adjust their bodies, and familiarize themselves with the venue.
As time passed, the match day quietly arrived.
...
"Next up, Shohoku High School from Kanagawa Prefecture versus Toshinari High School from Shizuoka Prefecture!"
On the afternoon of the competition day, as the director's cool female voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone, Xiangbei High School's first battle in the national competition was about to begin.
Xiangbei High School's game was on the afternoon of the first day of the game. Before them, four games had already been held in this stadium in the morning, and their game against Chang Cheng was the first game in the afternoon.
The audience has been replaced by one group after another. In the huge stadium, most of the people sitting are local fans from Tokyo, and a large number of them are "overlord fans", that is, fans of Sanno Industrial.
Only a small number of people come specifically to watch Xiangbei or Chang Cheng's games.
In the stands, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko had already found a seat. Not only them, but also Mito Yohei and Takamiya and their group did not miss today's Shohoku game.
By the way, Sakuragi Hanamichi’s travel expenses, accommodation and meals for watching the game were all “sponsored” by these brothers through their part-time jobs.
In addition to Sakuragi and his group, Mitsui's good brother Tokuoka still appeared in the audience seats of the national competition with his two younger brothers. His "Man of Fire" flag was bigger, and as he waved it, it was so obvious in the stands.
"Come on! Xiangbei!"
It was still the warm-up stage on the field, but the German man was already shouting excitedly, and the fluttering "Man of Fire" flag made the audience around him stunned.
"Those guys are here too..."
In the stadium, Mitsui noticed the people of De Nan and was touched. Although the flag made him feel a little embarrassed, he was still very moved to see his friends running from Kanagawa to Tokyo to support him.
"Xiao San, play well in today's game and I will give you the ball."
In the stadium, Wu Dao looked around, glanced at the reporters on the sidelines, and whispered in Mitsui's ear.
"Huh? Why do you suddenly want to change your fighting style?" Mitsui Shou suddenly heard that Wudao allowed him to perform today, and asked in confusion.
"I'm not changing the play style to let you play. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the support of German men?"
"This is a national competition. There are a lot of reporters, college scouts, coaches, and players watching the game."
"It will be helpful for you to become famous. If possible, connect with Akagi, Miyagi, Chiba and others, and try to show your style and characteristics."
Wudao put his arm around Mitsui's shoulders and whispered. Mitsui Shou shrank when he heard this, and then nodded silently.
"Okay, I get it. Just take part in this game."
"I will lead them to victory!"
While the two were talking, the referee's whistle had already sounded. Coach Anxi did not make any arrangements. He just arranged the players on the field and said nothing else. He then sat back in his seat, looking very worried.
The starting lineup of Xiangbei is still Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori, Chiba Daishi, Miyagi Ryouta and Jinguji Budou.
Although Chang Cheng's rating is not bad, Coach Anxi knows that there will be no suspense in this game.
