Chapter 44 Lingnan VS Buri
"It's our turn to play!"

Following Coach Tian Gang's order, he led the players through the player channel to the arena.

The Xiangbei players have already packed their things, they look downcast, and they are about to leave at this moment.

"Coach Anxi!"

Coach Tian Gang is still full of respect for Coach Anxi.

"Oh hehe, it's Coach Tian Gang, we need to work hard for this game!"

Coach Anzai let out a characteristic laugh and shook hands with Coach Tian Gang.

"Buri is strong, but we are not weak either!"

This year's Lingnan is stronger than ever, and coach Tian Gang is full of confidence in it.

On the other side, Akagi Takenori came to Uozumi, and said in a low voice: "Uozumi, don't be defeated by Masao Watanabe, I'm still waiting to defeat you."

"Don't worry, Akagi, if it's one-on-one, I have the confidence to beat him."

"I hope so!"

Akagi Takenori said so, but he didn't seem to have much confidence in Uozumi.

"Yuzu, Akagi and I will cheer for you!"

Even after losing the game, Mitsui still did not lose his fighting spirit.

"Then thank you guys."

Soon, coach Buri led the Buri players to appear.

The two coaches greeted each other enthusiastically, but they were secretly wary.

At the same time, the players on both sides were also looking at each other.

Yuzu's eyes fell on Brother Watanabe, who will be his main opponent today. Whether he can become Kanagawa's chief center depends mainly on his performance in this game.

Brother Watanabe's eyes also fell on Uozumi, and Masao Watanabe's expression was unprecedentedly dignified. If nothing else, this will be the biggest challenge he faces.

If you succeed, you will keep the chief center card, and if you lose, you will retire and give way, becoming a stepping stone for Yuzhu.

Masayasu Watanabe knew his brother very well, and he couldn't help saying: "Brother, his skills are rough, as long as you can hold him head-on, I believe you will win the final victory."

"You're right! However, if you can't handle it, then the two of us will go together. I don't believe that he can still take advantage of our brothers' cooperation."

This year is Masao Watanabe's third year, and it is also his last chance this year. Even if he is shameless, he doesn't want to leave any regrets. This year he must win the ticket to the national competition.

In the stands, spectators came and went. Among them, most of the Xiangyang team's reserve players left and were filled by other spectators.

The Xiangyang team did not leave, and went straight to the stands.

Then, they met Tsuhisa Takeshi who had just arrived.

Takeshi Tsuhisa competed in another gymnasium. They defeated Minowa High School without any risk and successfully advanced to the joint finals.

The captains of the two teams greeted each other in a friendly manner, and then opened a distance to watch the next game.

Taro Aso looked at the two teams below and asked, "Who do you think can be Kanagawa's chief center?"

"Although Lingnan center Uozumi has gained a lot of limelight recently, he lacks game experience and has a single attack method. I don't think he is Masao Watanabe's opponent yet."

"I also like Masao Watanabe!"

……

The views of Xiangyang players are almost unanimous, and they are obviously more optimistic about Masao Watanabe.

Aso Taro didn't express his point of view, he looked at Fujima who lowered his head in thought and asked: "Fujima, what about you?"

Fujima held his chin and said: "I think everything is possible! Although Masao Watanabe is strong, Uozumi has a chance. In addition, I have watched Uozumi's game, and he seems to have reservations."

"Whether he has reservations or not, he must go all out in this competition. The competition in this year's county competition is very fierce. No matter who wins or loses, we must be prepared."

From beginning to end, Taro Aso did not express his views.

At this moment, in the auditorium, Akagi Haruko was sitting with Fujii and Matsui.

"Haruko, your brother's game is over, should we continue watching?"

It was Fujii who spoke.

"The next game is the Lingnan game. If you don't watch it, you will regret it. I regret it now. I didn't go to the Lingnan game last time. I missed a big show in vain. This time I have to stay whatever I say."

Akagi Haruko showed an annoyed expression, but she heard from her brother Akagi Takenori that Yuzu's highlight performance in that game.

Thinking of missing the scene of Uozumi smashing the backboard and tearing off the basket, Akagi Haruko regretted it very much. After watching her brother's game, why didn't she stay.

"Okay, then we'll stay too, and hopefully it'll be a good game."

Seeing Haruko like this, Fujii and Matsui had no choice but to stay.

Not long after, the auditorium was full of people, and various banners appeared, including Uozu Sakae and Uozu Dong cheering for Uozu.

Since Yuzhu became famous, the business of Yuzhu restaurant has become more and more prosperous, especially the students from Lingnan.

After Yuzhu made a series of feats the day before yesterday, Yuzhu's restaurant naturally rose accordingly. This is simply free advertising.

After waiting for a long time, the game was about to start under the signal of the referee.

The two sides sent their starters respectively.

Lingnan is still Uozumi, Toyoyo Inoue, Oribe Sasaki, Yusaku Ozawa and Asahi Ken Matsushita.

Buri High School
Center: Watanabe Masao, 196 cm, 88 kg, third grade.

Power Forward: Watanabe Zhengyasu, 194 cm, 82 kg, third grade.

Small forward: Kazuo Imamura, 182 cm, 73 kg in weight, first grade.

Shooting guard: Yuki Araki, 177 cm, 70 kg in weight, third grade.

Point guard: Koichiro Nohara, 172 cm, 78 kg, sophomore.

In terms of overall height, there is not much difference between the two sides.

beep~
The referee blew his whistle to signal the players on both sides to get ready.

At the same time, Uozumi and Masao Watanabe stood in the middle circle, they looked at each other, ready to jump the ball.

The next moment, the referee threw the basketball in his hand into the sky.

When the basketball started to fall, the two jumped up together.

pop~
The bounce of the two is similar, but Yuzhu has to come higher. Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, Yuzhu took the lead in shooting the basketball to Matsushita Xujian.

As soon as he received the basketball, Matsushita Xujian immediately held the ball and crossed the half court.

He stared at his opponent Koichiro Nohara, recalling information about him in his head.

Unlike Matsushita Asahiken, Koichiro Nohara is fat and a heavy point guard, but his speed is not slow and he has good organizational skills.

While Matsushita Xujian was observing, Uozumi was wrestling with Watanabe Masao.

"What a lot of strength!"

This was Masao Watanabe's first impression. Although he knew that Yuzhu had great power, he was still a little surprised.

Masao Watanabe pushed Uozu reluctantly, preventing Uozu from entering the restricted area at all.
