The match between the two players on the court entered the second round.
In this game, the player who had just accomplished the "overcoming the strong" goal and was ranked lower, was unable to replicate his glory and was successfully challenged by his opponent again.
The score between the two was even 4:2, which shows that there is indeed a certain gap in the strength of these two players.
After this round of games, the player with the lower ranking did not choose to use the challenge right on the same opponent again.
The high draft picks have successfully maintained their status.
After the two players finished their matches, the selection competitions began one after another under the arrangement of Coach Tiangang and other coaching staff.
During the assessment period, Takeshi Jinguji also met several players with higher ambitions, who chose to challenge Takeshi Jinguji, the number one player.
However, the strength of those players was mediocre, and they didn't even force Budou to use his full strength, so they were defeated. Before Rukawa Kaede signed up to challenge Jinguji Budou, Budou's 5 chances to be challenged were directly used up by other players.
All the opportunities to be challenged have been used up, which also means that Jinguji Budo's ranking has been completely consolidated. There is no way to shake Budo's position in this round of assessment.
As Budou's ranking was fixed, Shinomiya Tano, who was ranked second, became the target of challenge. Among all the outside players participating in the autumn national sports selection, only Jinguji Budou's weight and height could compete with Shinomiya Tano.
A 100KG high school outside ball-handling core like Shimoya Tano is really not something that ordinary high school students can shake.
Soon, Shinomiya Tano's five challenge quotas were quickly used up.
The rankings of the first and second place were determined, and the competition for the ranking became more intense.
Sendoh Akira, Maki Shinichi and Mike Okita from Green Wind High School began to compete for this position, and the court turned into a melee among the three of them.
These young players didn't have any ulterior motives. They wanted this position themselves, so they just went out to challenge directly, but this also caused a problem.
The fierce competition among the three people caused the three of them to consume a lot of physical energy.
First, there was a duel between Sendoh Akira and Maki Shinichi. The two fought back and forth for a total of three rounds. In the end, Sendoh used up one challenge opportunity, while Maki Shinichi used up two challenge opportunities and successfully took the third place.
The two players hit 15 balls each, which consumed a lot of physical energy.
Both Sendoh and Maki Shinichi have excellent physical fitness and strong technical skills, which means that every time they attack, it is not easy for them to break through the opponent's defense and score the ball.
The physical energy consumption of both of them is far more intense than that of other players.
Sendoh Akira planned to take a short break before challenging Maki Shinichi, but unexpectedly, Mike Okita from Green Wind High School took the lead and challenged Maki Shinichi first.
There was only one group of players competing against each other in these two rounds.
Maki Shinichi only rested for less than ten minutes before returning to the court.
Mike Okita is also very strong. In terms of one-on-one ability alone, Mike Okita's strength is even better than Shinichi Maki.
Moreover, Mike was in good physical condition. After a fierce battle, Mike Okita successfully used the opportunity of a challenge to defeat Maki Shinichi and took the third place. Maki Shinichi was also postponed to the fourth place.
The players watching the game noticed that Maki Shinichi's physical energy seemed to be consumed very rapidly, and they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and a group of people enthusiastically challenged Maki Shinichi.
It was at this time that Miyagi Ryouta seized the opportunity to challenge Maki Shinichi, but the gap between him and Maki Shinichi was really too big.
Maki Shinichi used the simplest sitting shot to easily tie the game at 5-5 against Miyagi Ryouta, who was much smaller than him. However, Miyagi Ryouta was still quite competitive, scoring three goals over Maki Shinichi's head, but made a layup error on the fourth goal, and the basketball slipped through the rim.
Soon, the fourth-placed Maki Shinichi's ranking was fixed.
Rukawa Kaede, who originally planned to challenge Jinguji Budou and Shinomiya Tano, no longer had the opportunity to challenge them at this time, so he could only choose Mike Okita who had a higher ranking.
With his better performance, Rukawa successfully took away Mike's spot, but just after Rukawa won, Mike Okita used up his last challenge opportunity and found Rukawa again.
However, this time Rukawa's performance was not as good as Mike Okita's, and the third position was regained by Mike Okita.
After playing two rounds in a row, Rukawa Kaede planned to take a break, but Sendoh intervened at the right time and used up his last chance to challenge Mike Okita.
Sendoh chose the timing very well. Mike Okita consumed a lot of physical energy in the duel with Rukawa Kaede, and was ultimately defeated by Sendoh and was pushed to fourth place. Shinichi Maki was also forced to move to fifth place.
Before Rukawa signed up to challenge Sendoh, other players realized that the chances of high-ranking players being challenged were starting to decrease, so they rushed over before Rukawa and used up all of Sendoh's challenges.
Helplessly, Rukawa could only challenge Mike Okita, who was ranked lower. This time, Rukawa performed well and successfully defeated Mike, taking the fourth place.
As the assessment progressed, the top six rankings were determined.
Without a doubt, Jinguji Budo ranked first by suppressing all opponents with his terrifying strength.
The second-ranked Shinomiya Tano only lost one game to Budo, won all the other games, and scored every goal in his round.
Next up are Sendoh in third, Rukawa in fourth, Mike Okita in fifth, and Shinichi Maki in sixth.
Several strong players in Kanagawa Prefecture have obtained relatively high rankings.
However, Kenji Fujima of Ryonan High School had bad luck. He went back and forth for five or six rounds in the competition with other players for the seventh pick. Then he was picked up by Ryouta Miyagi and was squeezed to the eighth pick.
The other players were dissatisfied to see that a small player like Miyagi Ryouta actually occupied the seventh position, so Miyagi encountered many challenges as soon as he took the position.
One of them is their own Xiangbei player, Kurumiya Sora.
However, what surprised everyone was that Miyagi Ryouta faced the challenges of these players and actually defeated his opponents one by one.
Firmly secured his position.
The opponents that Miyagi Ryouta encountered were very diverse, some were tall and strong heavy guards, and some were agile like Kurumiya Sora.
But the final result was that neither the strength type nor the agility type was able to defeat Miyagi Ryouta.
His coming forward surprised Coach Tiangang.
Coach Tanaoka knew that Ryouta Miyagi was an excellent player and one of the pillars of the Shohoku back line. But that was in a five-on-five team match.
What Coach Takaoka did not expect was that Miyagi Ryouta could actually put up such an amazing performance in a one-on-one match.
Originally, Fujima Kenji was still unwilling to accept that he was defeated by Miyagi, but after seeing Miyagi Ryouta defeat various opponents in succession, his mentality improved a lot.
At least, I didn't lose to trash.
Otherwise, Fujima would probably be very upset in a short time.
As the competition progressed, the top ten positions were quickly determined. At this time, Coach Tiangang called a halt to the assessment.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky a fiery red.
Coach Tiangang clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, walked to the center of the court, and announced:
"Alright! The assessment ends here!"
"Congratulations to the top 10 players, no matter what position you are in, you have successfully passed this round of assessment!"
"Except for these people, the rest of you are eliminated."
"But... you still have a chance to revive. Players who think they have outstanding abilities but are just not performing well can follow Coach Mingshan and go up the mountain."
"Of course, players who don't want to continue to participate in the selection can go back on their own."
When Coach Tian Gang announced this, the players were shocked. Up to now, some players had not even used their right to challenge. Unexpectedly, the challenge was over?!
After hearing what Coach Tiangang said, some unconvinced players walked out of the team and questioned:
"Coach, I haven't even challenged anyone yet, I haven't even played a single game yet!"
"How can I be eliminated like this?!"
"I don't accept it!"
Hearing the player's question, Coach Tiangang did not get angry. Instead, he turned around and looked at the player with a smile, and asked kindly:
"Student, do you know how many people there are in the Autumn National Team?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Coach Tanaka answered himself:
“12 people!”
"Excluding the two centers, two power forwards and outside players, there are only eight people!"
"You think it's unfair that you haven't challenged anyone yet, right?!"
"Then let me ask you, what were you doing earlier?!"
"At the beginning of this challenge, I have already told you how many people are selected for each position on the representative team. You should know that if your ranking is outside the top ten, you will not be qualified to join the representative team at all!"
"Remember, whether it's on the court or in life, you have to fight for opportunities yourself!"
"If you think you have what it takes to make the Autumn National Team, then follow Coach Mingshan up the mountain!"
"There is still a chance! I hope you can seize it in the future instead of letting it slip away!"
Coach Tiangang's tone became increasingly harsh as he spoke, directly silencing the questioning player.
Yes, only 12 players were selected for the Autumn National Games, and there were only eight outside players. Is there any meaning for the players after the tenth place to stay? !
Among the top ten players, Jinguji Takeshi and Shinomiya Tano are both aces of the championship team, and are among the strongest players in the country.
At the small forward position, I'm afraid no one can compete with these two.
In addition to these two, there are the genius Sendoh from Ryonan High School, the monster Amu from Hainan, the champion defender Miyagi Ryouta and Fujima Kenji.
As well as that strong foreign player, and that supernova from Xiangbei.
Each of them is a master, and it is not easy to replace any of them. Is there something wrong with Coach Tiangang's selection method!
It seems like there is no problem, but actually... there is still a problem.
That means the previous rounds of assessments are of little value. In the end, the players are still distinguished by their personal strength. But this is actually easy to understand. The autumn national team wants combat effectiveness. Players with potential and talent will be trained, but... not at the beach...
When Coach Tiangang's assessment was completed, the assessments of the center and power forward also ended at the same time.
The assessment over there was more rigorous than here, and in the end only 5 players were left.
They are Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Takenori from Shohoku High School, Uozumi Jun and Hanagata Toru from Ryonan, and Mori Shigehiro from Kainan.
Nan Xiang, who participated in the training, failed to enter the top five and was eliminated. Together with him were many players including Kazuma Takasago from Hainan.
The more than one hundred eliminated people walked towards the mountain under the leadership of Coach Mingshan. Among so many people, no one chose to leave.
They all want to pursue their dreams on the road of basketball!
The fifteen selected players gathered and lined up in the center of the court.
Coach Tiangang and Coach Takato looked at the players on the field with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Familiar faces, all familiar faces, which shows that their selection method is still correct. The fifteen people who have successfully passed the selection are all players who have proven themselves in county competitions and even national competitions.
"Congratulations everyone!"
“I passed this stage of selection successfully.”
"However, the selection for the Autumn National Games has not yet ended! The players who were eliminated are not without any chance."
"They will receive rigorous training in the mountains, and you will also receive rigorous training here!"
"This autumn national sports selection is different from the previous ones."
"Next, let me tell you the specific arrangements!"
"The senior players train with other players from 7am to 10:30am every day. At noon, everyone has a three-hour break for lunch and meals."
"From 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., we will still have training. We will have dinner at 5:30 p.m., and after dinner, at 6:30 p.m., you senior players will have special tutoring classes."
"Tutoring classes last until 10 or 11 p.m., and lights are turned off at all times."
"For sophomores, coaching time is reduced to three hours."
"For players in the first year of high school, the coaching session will last for 2 hours."
"Don't think that you will have an easier time here than when you were in school!"
"We want to train professional players. You will face a training schedule that is far more rigorous than that in school."
As Coach Tiangang spoke, his voice became louder and his face was excited. For a coach, what could be more exciting than now? !
To train professional players is probably the ultimate goal of every high school coach!
The strict schedule caused the players to whisper to each other. Sakuragi Hanamichi stared, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
In this way, besides playing ball, he can only study, right? He thought he would be happy without going to school, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought!
And looking at this arrangement, the road to becoming a professional player may not be easy!
After talking to the players about the basic daily routine, Coach Tiangang took the players back to the seaside hotel.
What comforts Sakuragi and his friends is that the accommodation and living conditions in this seaside hotel are very good.
At dinner, the dishes served were also very rich, with unlimited supply of beef, milk and other meats, fruits and vegetables.
This place has become a school for basketball aristocrats.
