The match between Takeishi Junior High School and No. 4 Junior High School came to an end with the referee's final whistle, and Takeishi Junior High School won the match with a score of 93:27. And it was in this match that Mitsui Hisashi of Takeishi Junior High School instantly became a player that all junior high schools paid attention to.
Budo scored 22 points in the first half, but his brilliance was completely overshadowed by Mitsui Hisashi.
Mitsui played the entire game and scored 37 points, even though he didn't play very hard in the first half. With the combined efforts of Takeishi, Takeishi Junior High School broke the record of 88 points in a single game in the first game of the prefectural tournament, becoming the junior high school team with the most points.
Similarly, the overwhelming dominance displayed by Takeishi has also attracted the attention of all junior high school teams, and even many high school teams have been quietly paying attention to Mitsui Hisashi.
In the week after the opening game, Takeishi Junior High School had games every day. The qualifiers for the county competition were back-to-back games, and there were no rest days before reaching the semi-finals.
In the subsequent games, Anzai Zhengyi began to limit the playing time of Takeshi and Mitsui Shou, often limiting their playing time to around 30 minutes in the entire game. Along the way, Takeishi Junior High School did not encounter any decent resistance. All the teams that faced Takeishi Junior High School were defeated by Takeishi's double-gun style.
Wudao also performed stably in these games, averaging 21 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists per game. As the schedule progressed, Takeishi Middle School's opponents gradually became stronger, and Wudao's personal shooting percentage also dropped to 41%.
In all the games, Wudao never used any scoring method other than shooting, but this style of play still became an unsolvable existence on the junior high school court. Facing Wudao's shooting, the opponent can often only pray that Wudao does not make it, or try to physically confront Wudao and affect Wudao's shooting feel.
However, with more confrontations, Wudao also adapted. In the next few games, Wudao's shooting percentage began to recover. In the knockout match of Takeishi Junior High School from 8 to 4, Wudao made 14 of 22 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring more than 30 points for the first time, showing extremely strong offensive ability.
It is hard to imagine that such a score was achieved by Wudao relying solely on jump shots. From the opening game to the semi-finals, Wudao's shooting is still two words: unstoppable.
After Takeishi Junior High School successfully secured a place in the quarterfinals, they finally waited for a two-day offseason.
During the two days of off-season, Budo did not disrupt his life rhythm. After class, he participated in team training as usual. After training, he went to his master Fujima Shinichi's house to practice judo or exercise.
When I get home at night, I shoot hoops and practice dribbling in my own yard. My life is regular, but it is not boring for martial artists.
On the contrary, Wu Dao likes the current pace of life very much. He can even clearly feel that he is getting stronger! Moreover, the easy victories along the way made Wu Dao feel that junior high school basketball in the SD world is just like this.
Two days later, Takeishi Junior High School faced its old rival Yokota Junior High School at the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium. This traditional strong school, which once caused great trouble to Takeishi Junior High School, played at the lowest level in team history. Under the strong offensive of Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Takeshi, Yokota Junior High School surrendered in the first half and finally watched Takeishi enter the finals of the county competition with a score of 41:83.
Takeishi Junior High School's opponent in the final was Fugaoka Junior High School. Before the game started, some spectators who loved watching football games thought that it would be an exciting game with both teams evenly matched. However, when the game actually started, the progress of the game surprised everyone.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams were still going back and forth, but when the game was about ten minutes in, Fuqiu's defense suddenly collapsed. Mitsui and Wudao were in great form and scored points one after another. After a small climax of 11:0, this small climax suddenly turned into a tsunami, completely destroying Fuqiu.
In the end, Takeishi Junior High School defeated Toigaoka 77:47, won the county championship trophy, and obtained the right to participate in the national competition. The MVP of the county competition was also given to Mitsui Hisashi, who averaged 34 points per game.
Although his martial arts performance was pretty good, he did not gain any personal honors.
Takeishi Junior High School achieved a series of breakthrough results in this year's competition. However, when these results came, Jinguji Takeshi did not feel happy, but felt lost.
All of this happened too easily. The opponent was not strong enough and victory came too easily.
He thought that playing basketball in this world was exciting and fun, but the reality was different from what Wudao had expected. At least the county competition did not bring Wudao the pleasure of playing basketball. Fishing in the fish pond was not what Wudao wanted.
After the county competition, Takeishi Junior High School had a half-month rest period, and martial arts life was as dull as usual.
In just half a month, they quickly passed in this kind of life. At the beginning of the month, the group of Takeishi Junior High School finally boarded the train to Tokyo.
There, they will face enemies from all over the country.
...
The snow-white train was running at high speed on the track, surrounded by vast lawns. Jinguji Takeshi was sitting in the window seat, his chin resting on one hand, staring out the window in a daze.
The air conditioner is on in the car, and the warm sunlight outside the window shines into the car, giving people a comfortable feeling of warm winter sun.
Next to Wudao, Mitsui Hisashi was leaning on the seat with his head tilted back, and light breathing sounds came out of his nostrils. The whole carriage was very quiet, and only the slight sound of the train running echoed in Wudao's ears.
It only takes more than 20 minutes to get to Tokyo by Shonan Shinjuku Line, so Budo didn't get to enjoy the quiet time for long. The place to get off was Tokyo Station. After arriving at the station, the alarm bell rang, waking up Mitsui Hisashi and everyone from Takeishi Junior High School who were sleeping soundly.
Led by Anxi Zhengyi, everyone boarded the bus to the venue.
The national competition opened this morning, and after the opening, Takeishi Junior High School had a competition.
The schedule of the national competition is also very tight. From the opening ceremony, every day is a game day. The back-to-back schedule will eliminate all teams with weak foundation.
Takeishi Junior High School's first opponent in the national competition is the University of Tokyo First Junior High School, a local school in Tokyo. It is said that the opponent, like Takeishi Junior High School, is entering the national competition for the first time this year.
Anzai Zhengyi did some research in advance and did not find any players who stood out or needed special attention.
Because this school did not have particularly high scores in all previous games, often only two or three points higher than the opponent, and the total score was not high, which meant that the opponent did not have a strong scoring point, so Anxi Zhengyi did not conduct a further investigation.
Just as Takeishi Junior High School was heading to the gymnasium to attend the opening ceremony, players from Tokyo University Affiliated First Middle School arrived early in a lounge in the gymnasium and placed their belongings.
In the middle of the lounge, a handsome young man wearing a blue No. 9 jersey was lying on a recliner, holding a five-pound dumbbell in each hand and doing incline hammer curls to train his arms.
"I heard that our opponent today is a dark horse from Kanagawa. We may have a tough battle today."
Inside the locker room, a young boy wearing jersey number 5 was putting his clothes away while talking. He was the vice-captain of the team. Next to him was a player wearing jersey number 4, who was the captain of the No. 1 Middle School affiliated to the University of International Business and Economics.
"Dark horse!"
"Who isn't?"
"With him here, we won't lose!"
The boy wearing the number 4 jersey turned his head slightly, pointed at the handsome guy on the recliner, and said with a smile. Hearing this, the other party also smiled, put his things away, and walked to the boy who was exercising his arm strength.
"Tian Ye, how are your preparations going? Are you planning to hold back today?" The deputy captain of the No. 9 Middle School affiliated to the University of International Business and Economics seemed very intimate when talking to him, and it was obvious that they had a very good relationship.
"It depends on the situation. As long as we don't let the other party lose too badly, it will be fine."
"Let's just win the national championship in a low-key manner!"
The boy called Tian Ye stopped moving and stood up. As he stood up, the solid muscles on his arms twitched slightly. It was not obvious when he was lying down just now, but only now could you see that his muscles were much more developed than those of other junior high school students in the same lounge. Even his height was much higher than everyone else, and he was almost flush with the door frame.
"Kachcha."
At this moment, the door of the lounge was opened, and a middle-aged man walked into the lounge from outside. After entering the lounge, he clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and said:
"Let's go to the opening ceremony!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man set his sights on the No. 9 player, took a closer look, and said with a smile:
"You are still the same, very well prepared."
"I saw the team from Kanagawa when I came here. They were very impressive."
"Shigong Tianye, you might be able to enjoy the game today!"
The handsome young man whose name was called pinched his neck and smiled faintly:
"I hope so."
