Chapter 257 Fukuoka's Mixed Army
Fukuoka Prefecture Team! The opponent that Kanagawa Prefecture encountered in the semi-finals.
Fukuoka Prefecture, also one of the seeds, has two nationally-level powerful schools. The first one is Fukuoka No. 1 High School, which has always been ranked second in Fukuoka Prefecture. The one that has been ranked first in Fukuoka Prefecture for many years is a very strong private school----Affiliated to Hakata Junta University.
The team members of Fukuoka Prefecture are basically composed of players from three schools in the prefecture, including the first-ranked affiliate of Hakata Junta University, the second-ranked affiliate of Fukuoka No. 1 High School, and Hojo Shishang High School, which has been chasing these two schools. Hakata Junta University is an affiliated senior high school of Hakata Junta University. The school’s basketball players come from all over the country, and are all good players who have spent a lot of effort to dig from all over the country.
Compared with the wealthy and powerful affiliation of the affiliated affiliated to the Fukuoka No. 1 High School in recent years relies on the fame he has accumulated. However, fame will eventually last for a day, and Fukuoka No. 1 High School in recent years has also begun to decline gradually. Hojo Shishang is a new upstart in Fukuoka Prefecture, and is also a wealthy private school. It is imitating the path of the affiliated affiliated affiliated to the public.
In terms of strength, Hojo Shishang has gradually approached Fukuoka No. 1 High School.
The first round of the semi-finals is Kanagawa Prefecture against Fukuoka Prefecture. The game was actually held in the morning. Two hours before the audience entered the court, that is, at around 7 a.m., the players from Fukuoka Prefecture were already led by coach Ichihide Matsumoto to the Todo Stadium.
Matsumoto Ichisho is a middle-aged coach. In terms of age, he is considered a middle-aged coach among so many high school coaches. Relatively speaking, he spends more time and energy on the team than in ordinary schools.
"Arun, take your seniors to start warming up!" Matsumoto Ichihide walked to the rest area on one side with his bag on his back and sat down, looked around the empty arena, turned around and said to a yellow-haired young man.
"Yes, yes, yes~ Dad!" Jun Matsumoto shook his head, threw a yellow hair behind his head, nodded and said to Matsumoto Ichisho.
"Bastard! Call me coach in the team! You will have to say it a few times before you understand!" Matsumoto Iksho suddenly became angry when he heard his son's name, and yelled at Run Matsumoto's head.
"Yes, yes, yes~ Coach." After calling out to coach, Matsumoto Issue let Matsumoto Jun go.
Other players were no longer surprised by this scene. They put down their backpacks and started warming up before the game. Although it was still early before the game started, they entered the venue early and started warming up. Whether it was a player or a coach, their attitude towards the game was impeccable.
After the players warmed up for more than twenty minutes, Matsumoto Ichisho summoned the players to start speaking.
"Look at the time when the opponent is about to arrive, let's stop first."
"The opponent in today's game is from Kanagawa Prefecture. Those guys are very strong, so you must pay attention to it."
"The players who played today are our old starting lineup, unchanged."
As coach Ichihide Matsumoto finished speaking, the five players wearing blue jerseys stepped forward slightly and walked out of the queue. Blue No. 4, center and joint army captain, Ishida Ryuki, who was 199cm tall, weighed 91kg, a third-grade player from Hakatasuka who had been specially recruited by the university.
Power forward Daishi Hirakawa, 194cm tall, weighs 82kg, wears a No. 5 jersey, is a third-year player from Fukuoka No. 1.
Small forward Mark Williams, an African-American player, is a second-year player who was a subsidiary of the University of Hawkstan University who has paid a lot of money to dig from Hawkstan this semester. I heard that before he came to Neon, he could rank 138th among high school students in the United States. Neon was because his father committed a crime there. Mark Williams was 192cm tall, weighed 81kg, dark skin but white teeth, and the short curly hair on his head told his pure bloodline.
The shooting guard is Jun Matsumoto, who is 186cm tall and weighs only 72kg, and has a thin figure. If Tiano is present, he should have recognized him at once. He met him before when he was in Kanagawa Prefecture. This semester, his father caught him by him. He is a first-year young player from the affiliate of Hakata Jun University.
The point guard is 180cm tall Tangzawa Motoki, who is from the affiliate of Hakata Shangda University and is a second-year player.
"You five! All cheer me up. The opponents are not a good role to play with. We all try harder!"
"Have you heard it all?"
Matsumoto Ichihide's roar echoed in the empty arena, and his voice recalled over and over again in the players' ears.
"Yes!!" The players roared together.
"Okay! Go back to the locker room!"
Matsumoto Ichihide nodded with satisfaction, led the players into the corridor, and disappeared into the shadow of the corridor...
Not long after the players from Fukuoka Prefecture returned to the locker room, the bus carrying the players from Kanagawa Prefecture parked at the gate of the gymnasium. Under the leadership of Coach Takato, the players walked straight to their locker room.
"Da da da da!"
"Look at the information in your hands and see clearly the opponents you are facing."
"I don't think I need to say more about the importance of this game, right? I'll cheer me up."
In the locker room in Kanagawa Prefecture, Coach Takato tapped the tactical board with his pen end and attracted the attention of all players. Every Kanagawa Prefecture player has this information in his hand, about the Fukuoka Prefecture players they will face.
"American? Ranking in the United States is 138?" Tianye's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the information about Mark Williams. This was the first time that Tianye saw a foreign player on the basketball court in high school, and the other party's ranking in the United States is quite high. Players of this level have definitely reached the peak of the high school basketball industry.
When Tianye saw Mark Williams' weight, he felt a little relieved. On the weight, at least Tianye can suppress it. If he fights one by one, he may not lose to the opponent. But Tianye couldn't help but worry about Xiandao, who is also a small forward. Players of this level are definitely not something Xiandao can handle at this stage.
"Did you see it?" Coach Gaotou asked with some intention when he saw the players fell into silence.
Tian Ye looked up at the serious expressions on the faces of the two coaches, and then looked down at the information in his hand. Tian Ye did not doubt the authenticity of the information, even if the information was different from what Tian Ye saw in the magazine. In the game a few days ago, Tan Ye confirmed that he had never seen a foreign player, but the information given by Coach Takato was written in the real way.
"You don't have to doubt the authenticity of the information. That foreign player is a secret weapon affiliated with Hakata Shangda."
"You will definitely play a difficult game, but I believe you can overcome such difficulties."
"The players who played today have some adjustments. Starting center Yuzumizu, power forward Takasaki Ima, small forward Sendo Aki, shooting guard Mitsui Shou, and point guard Mushi Shinichi. You five of you come on the court first."
"Now start to prepare for each of you." After Coach Takao finished speaking, he ignored the players' surprised expressions and waved to Tiano and said. At the same time, Coach Tarooka also opened the door and walked out.
"Tianye, come out with me."
Coach Takato passed by Tianye, hugged Tianye's shoulder and followed Coach Tarooka's footsteps. He came to a secluded open space.
"What do you think of that foreign player?" Coach Tarooka and Coach Takato stood together. The ball wind hangs over and lifts up the corners of their clothes. In front of them, a handsome young man was bathed in the sunshine, looking at the two coaches with a calm look on his face.
"I'm very interested in the 138th pick!"
"I think I have a lot of confidence in myself. If I were to that country now, there would be no problem with the top 50."
"If you play a single game, you might be ranked higher..."
Tian Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and had his own judgment in his heart. In terms of physical talent, Tian Ye dared to say that even the Eagle Jiang could match him. However, Tian Ye was not sure whether his personality was suitable for the team in the cultural atmosphere, and was not sure whether he could integrate well into it, so he gave himself a more conservative estimate.
If you are a little crazy, Tian Ye expects that after he reaches the third year of high school, even if he arrives, there is still hope to maintain the fourth and first-year battles~
"Um……"
"We plan to let Xiandao try the quality of the player first. You must pay attention to it. If Xiandao can't deal with it, you will be on!"
Coach Tarooka had great expectations for Tiano. The opponent's strength put a lot of pressure on the two coaches. They had never experienced this kind of pressure before the game. Facing foreign players, it may be the first time for them.
After the two coaches chatted with Tian Ye for a while, the three of them returned to the locker room. Then they saw that the time was almost over, so they led the players to the stadium. During this period, no one asked Tian Ye what it was like to be called out. The atmosphere of the team fell into a strange silence, and a feeling of depression enveloped the hearts of each player.
