Different History

"Because the opponents in the quarterfinals were truly uninspiring Mitsui simply went to watch Kitamura Junior High School's game. Seeing Mitsui watching their game, Kitamura's players were very excited and played better. Now, Akagi's progress has also made Takami even more powerful. They even defeated powerful enemies inside and outside and reached the top eight.

"Hey, Mitsui, wait, let's meet up for the Finals." The winning streak has also cultivated the temperament of Akagi and others. They are no longer weak, even if the opponent they have to face next is Kainan Affiliated Junior High School, they dare to fight. Mitsui also sincerely sent blessings to them. At the same time, he was a little entangled in whether Akagi would be snatched away by others. At this moment, the man named Mitsui Hisashi, the storm he had caused since his rebirth, had begun to make waves.

The quarter-finals began soon. Mitsui's Takeshi was naturally the same as before, easily defeating Minaoka Junior High School without any bloodshed. Hasegawa was also thoroughly beaten by Mitsui, and he planted fear of Mitsui in his heart. This is another story. Not to mention for the moment, all members of Takeshi, who had defeated Minaoka, hurried to another venue to watch the match between Kitamura and Kainan.

When the Takeshi players entered the field, the first half of the match between Kitamura Middle School and Hainan Affiliated Middle School was over. What was shocking was that Kitamura Middle School actually led Kainan Affiliated Middle School with a score of 27 to 12.

"What's going on?" The other team members who were deeply impressed by Kainan Junior High School were shocked. Just last year, Kainan Affiliated Junior High School was the champion school. Even Takeshi Junior High School with Mitsui fell to Kainan, which is good at the twin tower tactics.

Although last year's captain, the former junior high school center Hikaru Sasaki, and his good partner power forward Yu Miyamoto have graduated, this year's regular twin towers of Kainan with Kazuma Takasago and Masaru Muto are still not to be underestimated.

Taking a closer look, Tokuo and others were even more surprised. After playing only half the game, the faces of the players from Kainan Affiliated Middle School were already full of fatigue. You must know that the training of Kainan Affiliated Middle School is notoriously strict. With their physical strength, this is not how stockpiling is supposed to be.

At this time, an enthusiastic audience member answered Tokuo's question: "It's because of the No. 5 in Kitamura on the opposite side. Did you see that big man? Kainan was defeated by him. He can even attack one against three in the paint." Kainan was completely unable to cut inside the basket became a restricted area, and they could not grab rebounds. Although his offense is still rough, he will definitely become a great player in the future." The explanation of the audience who had been impressed by Akagi also made Takeshi's team members quite surprised. After all, during the practice match a month ago, although the Kitamura Middle School was said to be good, it was completely unexpected that it could reach this point, even beating Kainan affiliated junior high school. And it sounds like it was all because of one person? This is even more incredible.

Mitsui, on the other hand, is quite complicated. He is genuinely surprised by Akagi's growth but also worried about Akagi's growth. After all, Shohoku is only a public school and is not attractive or competitive.

Just like myself, Kainan Shoyo has sent invitations to me, promising to be a first-year candidate. If you want to dominate the country, these two giants are the best choice for Kanagawa. Even if it is not good, Ryonan, where coach Taoka is sincere, is also the best choice. I chose, and I came to Shohoku purely because I was grateful to the old man.

Yes, Mitsui's reasons are only pure gratitude and respect. Maybe Miyagi Rukawa chose Shohoku because of Anzai's famous name, but for Mitsui, his technology has reached its current limit, and there is no room for improvement. Only physical fitness has to improved, and he came to Shohoku just to repay his kindness.

Now Akagi is playing so well, even though his physical strength declined in the second half due to struggling to grab rebounds for a long time and taking off many times, Takami, who shot freely under the cover of Akagi in the first half, took over the offensive banner.

"Even though Kainan Affiliated Middle School was unwilling to end and adopted a multi-person defense, the extremely clear-headed Takami takeover the game by passing the ball and calling Akagi to screen and shot the ball. Finally won the game steadily with a score of 51 to 44 and advance to top four!

Among them, Akagi has attracted a lot of attention. Takasago is already a very strong center in this class. The only one who can compare with him is Shoyo Hanagata. The sudden rise of Akagi and his excellent physical fitness have garnered the favor of many high school coaches.

After watching the game, everyone at Takeishi Middle School had a heavy look on their faces. Mitsui's worry was whether Akagi would come to Shohoku in the future, but in everyone's eyes, this was Mitsui's consideration when dealing with Kitamura, which caused a problem.

Tokuo thought about whether he could block Akagi, but after comparing the height and weight of the two, Tokuo clearly gave up this unrealistic fantasy. Is he just going to fight? Ikegami was also thinking about whether he could stop Takami from scoring.

But Takami is a very calm player, good at distributing the ball, Ikegami frowned.

Katsumi was also contemplating whether he could score against Akagi's high-pressure defense. With Akagi's height, he could block most of his shooting space by simply raising his hand. He could only shoot faster and higher, Katsumi thought to himself.

Seeing their boss's sad face, Takashima and Tokuda also wore sad expressions, even though they didn't know what was wrong.

So when Mitsui came back to his senses and saw a row of bitter and angry faces behind him, he was really shocked: "What's wrong with you? Kitamura also has a pretty good relationship with us, how come they beat all of you with this expression?"

"Mitsui, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"It's a competition". "

If Kitamura wins, we may meet them in the competition. Judging from Kitamura's strong performance today, we may not be able to win." Mitsui's forehead was creased with question marks as he looked at the formidable opponents on the opposite side, who were trapped in his imagination.

"Didn't we easily win the practice match before?"

"Oh, the practice match was eh? Yes, we didn't win it easily, did we?"

Although I would really like to say that it was just a practice match, it seems that Kitamura's strength today has not improved much compared to that. At most, Akagi played much more reasonably. The offensive level is still the same, and the practice match is not the same. The hard thing to explain is that Takeshi didn't put in much effort and just treated it as a practice match, yet still won a big victory.

The team members suddenly realized, "What? It turns out that Kitamura is not that strong. He's been scaring himself."

"I would say it's not that Kitamura is weak. After all, he defeated Kainan. It's because our Takeshi is too strong."

"Yes, that's right, this year we are invincible."

Soon, this group of people began to praise each other in business. For example, one would commend their skills, another their defense, and so on. In any case, everyone suddenly became filled with confidence after the criticism. Mitsui chuckled dumbly when looking at his delightful teammates, but he didn't feel anything negative. He had won the championship in the third grade of junior high school before, even if one of the games was a thrilling victory. There is no reason why they can't do it now, especially since their team has also improved significantly.

The top four of the junior high school competition were quickly determined, namely Takeishi Junior High School, Shoyo Affiliated Junior High School, Kitamura Middle School, and Yokota Middle School. The next game will be Yokota vs. Kitamura and Shoyo vs. Takeishi!"
