In a moment.

The whole locker room was filled with tension, as if facing a great enemy!

The first-year students whispered to each other.

The average height is more than 1.9 meters?

None of the teams they met before were like this.

As we all know, the advantage of height on the court is still very obvious.

The defensive area is directly widened.

It has a significant impact on passing the ball, layups, and shooting.

However, due to excessive tension, they seemed to forget that the average altitude of Shohoku is not much lower than that of Shoyo.

Coach Anzai stared at everyone with a smile.

Then his eyes paused for a moment on Shin Izumi and Kaede Rukawa.

Although Shin Izumi looked a little lazy, his eyes always exuded the kind of contempt for everything. Compared with Shin Izumi's confidence, Kaede Rukawa had a blank face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. His psychological quality was much stronger than others.

Even Akagi was a little dazed at this time.

Finally, he decided to boost morale.

"Everyone be quiet!"

He clapped his hands, signaling for silence.

After the locker room was quiet, he continued to speak slowly.

"Shoyo and even everyone are very tall, and there is indeed a lot of pressure. The strength is not bad, but don't forget that we are also a strong team now. Never underestimate your own strength because of the strength of the opponent..."

His PUA was like a stream of clear water, sprinkled on the somewhat dazed nerves of the crowd.

The fact is just as Coach Anzai said, Shohoku is not the Shohoku of the past. In the training match, he won Ryonan, who was also one of the top four, by more than 20 points, and crushed all opponents in the selection match.

They really care too much about the strength of their opponents and ignore themselves.

Coach Anzai looked over again, and the trance on everyone's face gradually began to dissipate.

Finally, he still explained the precautions.

That is Fujima and Hanagata.

One is a top point guard, and the other is a top center.

Coach Anzai didn't say anything more.

Shohoku people were like chicken blood, howling.

This made Hisashi Mitsui, who had just returned from the bathroom, a little confused.

What happened?

"Okay! Let's go on the court!"

Coach Anzai waved his hand.

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

.........

Shohoku and his team filed out of the player tunnel.

The whole audience cheered. .

"Roar, Shohoku! Shohoku is finally out!"

"I can't wait!"

"I wonder if Shin Izumi can still score so strongly against Shoyo today."

Shin Izumi's cheerleaders and Kaede Rukawa's cheerleaders immediately started working, holding signs and hitting the fence with plastic bottles.

" Shin Izumi! MVP!"

" Shin Izumi! MVP!"

" Kaede Rukawa, Kaede Rukawa, LOVE Kaede Rukawa!"

" Kaede Rukawa, Kaede Rukawa, LOVE Kaede Rukawa!"

The entire Shohoku team came to the rest area under the gaze of everyone in the stadium. Compared with the noise heard in the locker room, it is not an exaggeration to say that the noise here is like the collapse of the sky and the earth.

Even the usually calm Akagi's Adam's apple couldn't help but jump and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Shocking!

Too shocking!

Shin Izumi seemed very calm.

The quarterfinals were unusual. Last year's giants were basically all present, and the fans who came to watch must be countless.

But he was a little curious.

Fujima? Will he start?

With Akagi's shout, everyone started to warm up.

Suddenly.

The Shoyo cheerleaders began to exert their strength, and the already lively stadium became even more lively.

The atmosphere was directly pulled to the top.

Because.

In the player tunnel on the other side, Fujima led the entire Shoyo team to the court!

"This year's Shoyo is so tall!"

"It looks so oppressive! Is this Shoyo?"

"Wuhu, this game is worth my absence from work to watch."

The audience's attention was attracted to Shoyo again.

They were amazed to see the tall Shoyo lineup.

Although they were warming up in the half court.

But Fujima's eyes were always on Shin Izumi.

"Come on! Let me see how strong you are!"

After warming up.

Both sides began to arrange the starting lineup.

Shohoku starting lineup: No. 7, point guard Miyagi Ryota; No. 14, shooting guard Hisashi Mitsui; No. 12, small forward Kaede Rukawa; No. 11, power forward Shin Izumi; No. 4, center Akagi Takenori.

Shoyo's starting lineup: No. 9, point guard Taku Itou; No. 6, shooting guard Hasegawa; No. 7, small forward Mitsuru Nagano; No. 8, power forward Takano Shoichi, No. 5, center Toru Hanagata.

Players from both teams came on the court, waiting for the jump ball, causing an uproar.

Shohoku played the strongest lineup.

But Shoyo?

Fujima didn't even play.

Many viewers found it incredible.

Is this a rhythm of underestimating Shohoku?

On the court.

Akagi and Hanagata came to the center circle and prepared for the jump ball.

Although the two seem to be about the same height, Akagi is much stronger than Hanagata in terms of physique, and has a more stable temperament. It is obvious that the two have different playing styles.

Hanagata smiled at Akagi and teased:

"Last year, Shohoku was eliminated in the first round, but that doesn't stop us from playing. I don't intend to give you the position of the top center in Kanagawa. Today, Shoyo will definitely enter the semi-finals."

"Hahaha, you were a substitute last year, but you are the starter this year. Just come on, I won't give you the position of the top center."

Akagi stared at Hanagagi and continued: "And... do you want to win? You still have to ask Shin Izumi and the others on our team if they agree."

Akagi's temperament is quite strong, and he exudes a tough aura everywhere in his bones. Naturally, he is not afraid of Hanagata's provocation.

Hanagi's words made Hanagata raise his eyebrows slightly.

Shin Izumi?

Even he was quite afraid of this freshman who was in the limelight in the selection.

But he remained calm and smiled at Akagi:

"Just a newcomer who has never experienced a big game."
