Chapter 296 Ryonan VS Sanno (6)
Chapter 296 Ryonan VS Sanno (6)
Although Ryonan lost, they were able to force Sannoh to attack with all its members, and they only lost by 14 points, which can be said to be a glorious defeat.
After the final whistle sounded, Miyagi and Nango fell to the ground and buried their faces deeply in their knees to hide their tears. The rest of the people, including Sendoh, also lowered their heads - losing this game meant that their journey to the national competition this year had come to an end.
Even though their opponent was the national champion Sanno Industrial, and even though they were a rookie team in the national competition, they made it all the way to the semi-finals, which can be said to have surprised countless people, and they have completely made a name for themselves. However, all this does not mean that they are "willing" to lose this game!
“…Wow, wow, obviously… obviously, it was just a little bit short…” Aida Hikoichi burst into tears and sobbed even when he spoke.
In fact, the difference is more than just a little bit! Only Tanaka Shigeichi knew that in this game, Ryonan had already performed exceptionally well, but what about Sanno? If they had used Matsumoto and Kogata to attack earlier, Ryonan would probably lose by a really big score... Sanno hadn't even used his full strength yet! This is the gap between Ryonan and the national overlord, right?
I wonder what the scene will be like when the Sanno team plays against Shohoku after entering the finals. Shigeichi Tanaoka couldn't help but think about his fellow countryman from Kanagawa. On paper, Shohoku is much stronger than Ryonan. Mitsui will deal with Matsumoto, and Murasaki will deal with Fukatsu. Sanno's backcourt will not take advantage like it did against Ryonan. And Akagi's offensive and defensive abilities are a level higher than Uozu, and there is also the red-haired Sakuragi who often has magical performances. The inside line of Sanno is about the same as Shohoku. Only at the small forward position, Sanno has an advantage, but what if Shohoku adopts a staggered defense? Mitsui will deal with Zebei, and use Hasegawa or Katsumi to deal with Matsumoto? This is just the main lineup. There are also strong players such as Fukuda Yoshitaka, Kiyota Nobunaga, Mito Yohei and others on the bench. There is no possibility that Shohoku will collapse due to lack of physical strength of the main players.
Thoughts flashed through Tiangang's mind one after another, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He just reached out and touched Yanyi's head, as a way of comforting his overly emotional disciple.
After all, he still lost...Xian Dao put his hands on his hips and lowered his head slightly. He didn't cry, but not crying doesn't mean he doesn't care, it's just because he is so free and easy, he won't cry easily.
Although losing is always unpleasant, Sendoh felt that he had no regrets. Facing the national champion, he tried his best and led Ryonan to resist until the last few minutes; facing Zebei Rongji, who had defeated him before, he played 120% of his strength and fought with the opponent to a situation of mutual explosion. After this battle, his strength also stepped into a whole new level - to be honest, this is enough.
At this time, a hand was placed on Sendo's shoulder, and Zebei came over, "I never thought you could perform to such an extent, but next time, I will definitely be the winner!"
"Next time, I will definitely not be the same person I am today." Sendoh smiled and spread his hands. "But even if you beat me today, it doesn't mean anything. Don't forget, the MVP of Kanagawa is not me! Besides, we are only fourth in Kanagawa. I can tell you that Xiangbei is much stronger than us."
"Mitsui, Murasaki and Akagi, they are really strong. We can face them tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it." Zebei's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Sendoh, you performed very well. You made the right decision to choose Ryonan. Keep up the good work in the future. Of course, I still say the same thing. If you want to come to Sanno Industrial, I welcome you anytime." Domoto came over to comfort Sendoh.
"I will not leave Ryonan." Sendoh responded with a smile to his uncle's poaching, "Uncle, I want to remind you that Xiangbei is very strong."
"Yes, I know that too. Xiangbei is indeed one level stronger than Ryonan." Domoto nodded.
"I can tell you one thing. We teamed up with the Shoyo team that you eliminated last year and played a game against Xiangbei, but we still lost.
"How much did you lose?" Hearing this, Domoto raised his eyebrows.
"100:91, we lost by 9 points, but I can tell you that Xiangbei did not play to its full strength in that game" Sendoh answered seriously
"Shohoku..." Domoto muttered, with a serious face. In his eyes, today's Ryonan is actually quite difficult, and as last year's opponent, Fujima and Hanagata of the Shoyo team also left a deep impression on him. The two national top eight teams joined forces, and the lineup was terrifying enough, but they still lost to Shohoku. How strong is Shohoku? Thinking of this, Domoto also had a headache.
Although Ryonan lost the game, their wonderful performance was also seen by the audience, and they also won the applause of the audience when they left the court.
In this game, the players of Ryonan performed as follows
Sendoh Akira: 30 points and 7 assists. He and Zebei Rongzhi were in a state of mutual explosion. This super ace of Ryonan firmly established his position as a top scorer in the country in one battle. He won praise from opponents and spectators.
Jun Uozumi: 16 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. The captain of Ryonan got incredible data in the game against Sannoh. The Ryonan Giants have also left their own mark on the national arena. In the past, as the defensive backbone of Ryonan, Jun Uozumi’s role on the offensive end was too limited. Compared with Akagi, his independent scoring ability was much worse. But in this game, Uozumi not only proved his defensive value, but more importantly, his level of support and passing has also improved significantly. On the offensive end, he can only stand in the interior "King of Cakes", which is obviously not as good as the big center who can participate in the team's offense from a high position. Some scouts from famous schools are quite impressed with the performance of Ryonan No. 4. After the game, Kanagawa University and Kyoto University of Physical Education immediately sent invitations to Uozumi, which surprised Uozumi, who came from an ordinary family and planned to inherit the family business after high school. As for Uozumi's choice, this is a later story and will not be mentioned.
Miyagi Ryouta: 6 points, 8 assists, 3 steals. Although Miyagi's statistics are not impressive, his performance in this game is not without highlights, and his several beautiful breakthroughs also received applause from the audience. His speed and passing ability are still recognized by some scouts. Although he is not recruited because he is a sophomore, his name has been written down by some scouts for future inspection.
Nango Koichiro: 4 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block. In this game, except for his outstanding performance at the beginning, the first-year rookie of Ryonan was blocked by Sannoh's inside line for the rest of the time. He still has a long way to go. What he needs to do is to convert his talent into strength.
Wu Dai Youhe: Although he scored 11 points, the three-point shooting rate of 9 out of 3 is really unacceptable for a shooter. However, for Wu Dai, in his last year of high school, he transferred to another school and participated in the national competition and made it to the semi-finals, which was enough.
Ikegami Ryoji: 4 points and 1 steal, the vice-captain of the Ryonan team is as diligent as ever. His performance is also impeccable
Sanno Industry:
Zebei Rongzhi: Sanwang No. 35 scored 9 points in a single game and was named the MVP of this game. The top high school student in the country is impeccable except for the shortcoming of being a little free from the team's offense.
Masashi Kawata and Kazunari Fukatsu also had a "normal" double-double performance. These two high school seniors are the strongest backing for Sanno.
Although Matsumoto Minoru only scored 12 points, all of them came in the second half of the game. His outburst was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Ryonan. No one in Ryonan could limit him. The strength of Sanno's second ace should not be underestimated.
Mikio Kawata: 8 points, 6 rebounds. The future of Sannoh. He also got a good training in this game. His performance was satisfactory.
Masahiro Nobe: 4 points and 9 rebounds, Sanno doesn't need him to contribute such great statistics
With the end of the match between Sanno and Ryonan, the final battle will begin tomorrow.
