Naruto put down the coffee cup and behaved very calmly, without the excitement or nervousness of ordinary student players when interviewed. This point made Aida secretly surprised.


    However, Yayoi Aida is still a professional journalist after all, and soon organized the language in his heart.


    "Sakuragi, when did you start playing basketball?"


    "Well, to be precise, I started playing during the spring break before the second year of junior high school."


    "Isn''t that just over two years?"


    "Yes."


    Yayoi Aida swiftly recorded these in his notebook: "Are you familiar with Sendo from Lingnan before?"


    "Well, I''m very familiar. I, Sendo, and Zebei of the mountain king, used to play together in junior high school, but after Zebei went to the mountain king of Akita, it became only me and the mountain king. I personally hit. But the guy in Xiandao often remembers Zebei''s name incorrectly, which makes Zebei very depressed every time."


    "Um..." Miss Aida Yayoi, who has a good memory, immediately remembered that when he interviewed Sendo last time, he said that Zebei was about Kitazawa, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. Among classmates Zebei, who is stronger?"


    "It''s not very comparable. My position is a power forward. Both of them are small forwards. Offense is their strength. But if they attack and defend inside, they can''t prevent me."


    In Aida Yayoi''s head, there was a scene where Naruto was continuously beating Sugawara and Yuzumi under the basket. Well, even if she leans towards Sendo, she doesn''t think Sendo can block the collision of that strange force under the basket.


    "So, what if it''s between Sendao and Zebei?"


    "Well..." Naruto pinched his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

    "The styles of those two guys are not the same. At this stage, Zebei''s attacking firepower is still stronger, but the basketball game is not a matter of one person. From a comprehensive technical perspective, Xiandao is better than Zebei, but one person. It’s useless to be strong. Let’s not say whether Lingnan can make it into the national competition. Even if you can make it and encounter the mountain king, in addition to the immortal way, the remaining four positions are all the mountain kings. The overall strength is too poor. too much."


    Aida Yayoi quickly recorded what Naruto said. Naruto glanced at Yayoi Aida''s notebook, feeling that it was no different from the prescription prescribed by the doctor.


    "Sakuragi-san, you seem to know Sanwang very well."


    "Understand?" Naruto touched ~ touched his head, of course he would not say that most of his understanding of the mountain king is his understanding of the original. "In fact, the guy from Zebei often asked me to go to the mountain king to play with him before, but I didn''t agree."


    "Sakuragi, what is your goal in basketball?"


    "I don''t have a long-term goal. I just want to beat the mountain king and win the national championship."


    "Sakuragi, according to Xiangbei''s past record, are you not afraid that you will not be able to enter the national competition?"


    Naruto put down the coffee cup, and the smile on his face was slightly rigid: "You also said that it was a past record. As long as you play a new Xiangbei from now on, isn’t it all right? Besides, with our strength in Xiangbei this year, The national competition is definitely not impossible, and if other teams don’t take us seriously, we can pretend to be pigs and eat tigers and swallow Xiangyang and Hainan all."


    "Sakuragi, are you so confident?"


    "Confidence is based on strength, and I have studied Xiangyang and Hainan well."


    "Can you explain, Sakuragi-san?"


    Naruto knocked on the table with his hands: "Let’s talk about Xiangyang first. In addition to the captain Fuji Makenji, the biggest feature of Xiangyang is the four major teams with the highest average altitude in the county. It''s just that I and Captain Akagi both exceed 190. Centimeters, and the fox... Rukawa Feng also has 188 cm. With his jumping ability, it can be regarded as a 190 cm long man. The four elders of Xiangyang must have a Mitsui to defend us. The inside line is equal to Three hits three, we won''t suffer."


    "Although this is true, Miyagi-san is still not as good as Xiangyang''s captain Fujima."


    "That''s true. Fujima of Xiangyang, Amu of Hainan, and Kazushin Fukatsu, the captain of Sanwang, these three represent the highest level among high school players in the country. Our Miyagi is indeed a little bit close. But this gap is not irreparable. Besides, I have watched Xiangyang’s game video last year. Their power forward Takano and small forward Nagano, the speed of 100 meters is about 13 seconds, the whole Xiangyang, 100 meters in 11 seconds There is only Fuji Shin, and I, Rukawa and Miyagi can all reach that speed."


    Aida Yayoi recalled the scene in the Lingnan game when Naruto rushed to the Lingnan basket and Yuzumi had just ran through the midfield. He was secretly surprised by the thorough analysis of Naruto, but on the surface he was noncommittal. He changed the subject: "What about Hainan?"


    "Hainan’s strongest is of course the captain Mu Shenyi, and the three-point shooter Shinzong Ichiro, but our backcourt double guns will not be worse than them, and the main center of Hainan is only 190 centimeters, and the physique is the same as that of our Captain Akagi. There is too much difference, and their first-year rookie Kiyota Nobunaga."


    Yayoi Aida quickly flipped through his notebook: "In the middle school basketball finals last year, Nobunaga Kiyota seemed to have defeated the Tomigaoka Junior High School led by Rukawa classmates?"


    "That''s right, but that idiot Rukawa overslept on the day of the final, and only played half the game. In the half of the game where Rukawa played, Kiyota was almost completely blocked by Rukawa, only getting 2 points and 1 steal in the half. ."


    "Oh, it turned out to be like this. No wonder I heard many people say that the MVP name of Nobunaga Kiyota at the time was not true. It turned out to be this relationship." Yayoi Aida secretly wrote down the truth about the original gossip, "Sakuragi, your basketball opinions It really surprised me, but there is one last question, what exactly is the trick you mentioned to Xiandao-san?"


    "This is a secret. If you want to know, then I wish we Xiangbei and Sanwang meet on the court."


    "Heh, you are indeed a very interesting and powerful player. I look forward to Xiangbei''s performance in the national competition this year."


    Naruto stood up and shook hands with Yayoi Aida, then turned and left, found his beautiful girlfriend, and went home lovingly.


    And when Naruto left, the formulaic smile on Aida Yayoi''s face disappeared, replaced by an incomprehensible strange color.


    "Sakuragi Flower Road..."


    About three days later, people who like basketball suddenly discovered that the title of this issue of "Basketball Weekly" is not about the two strong teams of Xiangyang or Hainan, nor is it about Lingnan, who has talented players, Xiandao. The title is impressively large.


    Dark horse!The rise of Xiangbei!


    In this issue of "Basketball Weekly", many things about the Xiangbei basketball team are described, including that its coach is an Anxi coach, a well-known basketball player, and some information about the players is also published in the weekly, of course, just some The most basic data, such as height and weight, graduated country, and location, etc., these data are not difficult to check, especially for players who have previous game records, the data is easier to check.


    In addition to the captain Gorilla, the most noticeable among all players are small forward Rukawa Kaede and shooting guard Kotobuki Mitsui.


    Mitsui has a lot of fame in the Kanagawa basketball world. It was enough to prove that Yuzumi and Ikegami had the kind of surprised reaction when they heard Mitsui''s name during the practice match with Lingnan.


    Back then, Wu Shi Junior High School was only a middle-class team, but with the strength of Mitsui Shou alone, Wu Shi Junior High School made it into the final.


    And in the finals of that year, with Takeshi Junior High behind by a big score, Histo Mitsui began to explode, and with the encouragement of coach Anzai who was watching the game at the time, he struggled to the last second and made a total of 14 in the game. A three-pointer, plus shots and free throws, scored 54 points for one person. That was 2/3 of Takeshi Junior High School at the time, plus 12 assists, 7 steals, and 3 blocks. With triple-double data, Mitsui Toshou undoubtedly picked off the MVP of the year.


    Many basketball enthusiasts still talk about Mitsui''s performance in the finals that year, and the news that Mitsui Kotobuki will return to the basketball world as a member of Xiangbei will undoubtedly bring excitement to many basketball enthusiasts.


    And although Kanagawa now recognizes that the strongest players are Mu Shenichi and Fujima Kenji, they are actually outsiders.


    Mu Shenyi is from Aichi Prefecture, while Fujima is from Tokyo like Sendo. Speaking of which, none of the three strongest players in Kanagawa today are from Kanagawa, but Mitsui is different. Mitsui is a native of Kanagawa. After all, there are many People still tend to their hometown psychologically. If Mitsui can beat those three people, it will definitely be a long-faced thing for Kanagawa fans.


    There is also Rukawa Fox. In the original middle school finals, Rukawa got the most sturdy and exciting data in only half of the game, and was even regarded by some as Mitsui Shou’s successor, but he won the best in the game. Rukawa Kaede, who has beautiful data, did not get the MVP of the match. This incident caused a sensation at the time, because many people privately said that the match was shady at the time, so Nobunaga Kiyota was considered a middle school match. The most insignificant MVP in history.


    For Rukawa Kaede, who performed brilliantly on the spot, many good deeds still secretly call him the uncrowned king, so his reputation is not small.


    Compared with the two of them, Naruto and Miyagi are relatively inconspicuous to Akagi, whose skills have always been recognized in high school basketball.


    In this Basketball Weekly, the results of the last time Xiangbei defeated Lingnan in the practice match were also published. At the beginning, a fish belly team could beat Lingnan with such a score, which would obviously cause a lot of cause in the basketball world. sensation.


    The words Xiangbei and Dark Horse were placed side by side. Before the county meeting began, it quickly swept the entire basketball world in Kanagawa. As for how powerful this whirlwind can be, everything can only be done at the county meeting. .


    The captain of Xiangbei, Akagi Gorilla, came to the basketball hall after the one-day course, and after changing into training sportswear in the locker room, he strode into the basketball hall, which he had never known how many times he had visited.


    For Akagi who spends almost all day in the basketball hall except for class, everything in the basketball hall is so familiar. Even the feeling of stepping on the floor is enough to make Akagi have a sense of familiarity. Akagi walks. After the goal hall, seeing Zuo Zuo Gangzhi and the others gathered together, as if they were watching something, Akagi, who was used to acting like a black face, immediately made a big face.


    "What are you doing?!"


    Chapter Thirty-Three-The preparations for war in northern Hunan, the inspiring military spirit


    Although Naruto and the others have slandered many times in secret, Akagi suddenly appeared from behind and scared people to death. Akagi sometimes knew what they said, but Akagi obviously had no idea of''listening to advice''.


    Akagi suddenly appeared from behind and obviously surprised the poor children: "Team... Captain!"


    Akagi was not blind either. He keenly saw what Zuozuookazhi seemed to hide behind, with a big face: "What are you looking at, take it out?!"
