Chapter 214 Awards
"Oh, everyone did very well. In the past three years, no matter how hard the training was, you all persevered. The championship is the best reward for your efforts. Congratulations." Anxi looked at his disciples with a loving face.
"Coach, it is our greatest honor to play under you and receive your guidance." After recovering from their excitement, the Xiangbei team rushed to Coach Anxi. They lifted up the Xiangbei mascot and threw it high into the sky above the stadium. The whole stadium was filled with a voice that everyone was so familiar with -
"Oh hehehe..."
"Coach, I'm sorry, we lost the game." The Hainan players returned to the locker room and Amu apologized to Gao Touli
"No need to apologize, Amu. You guys performed very well. Our original goal was to play a wonderful game. The so-called championship was just a byproduct. You let me see a wonderful game. Thank you." Although they lost the game and their record of dominating Kanagawa was ended, Takato Riki did not blame the players. After all, Hainan also tried their best, but the opponent was stronger.
Next up is the closing ceremony of the county competition.
The 24 teams that entered the knockout stage were lined up neatly on the field.
When the organizing committee announced that Shohoku was the champion of Kanagawa Prefecture, thunderous applause broke out in the stadium. After all, the super strength that Shohoku had demonstrated in these games had been recognized by everyone, especially since Shohoku is a team that advocates offense. Every game they play with passion, and there are endless wonderful goals, which naturally wins the love of more fans.
There is only one month left for Takenori Akagi to realize his dream of dominating the country. "Okay, before that, let's go receive the award first!" said Takenori Akagi, the captain of the Shohoku team.
"Great, we are the champions!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said proudly.
"The runner-up is Hainan University Affiliated High School, and the third place is Green Wind High School. Congratulations to these three teams for directly entering the national competition. The fourth place Ryonan High School will participate in the national competition play-offs. I hope Ryonan will do its best in the play-offs and enter the national competition!" Kanagawa will have four teams participating in the national competition for the first time in history. (Ryonan can't get through the play-offs? Not true), and last year's national quarterfinals Shoyo team unfortunately missed the national competition. To describe Shoyo with a line from a TV series: "It's not that the national army is too incompetent, but that the Communist army is too cunning." This is a competitive game, everything is based on results. Although it is cruel, it is also the most fair.
As for the best lineup, Kanagawa Prefecture fielded three lineups due to the emergence of top players from each team.
First team: Center Akagi Takenori (third year, Shohoku High School), power forward Mike Okita (second year, Midori Wind High School), small forward Mitsui Hisashi (third year, Shohoku High School), shooting guard Mugure Kiminori (third year, Shohoku High School), point guard Maki Shinichi (third year, Kainan High School).
Second team: center Gao Guang (sophomore, Green Wind High School), power forward Sendoh Akira (sophomore, Ryonan High School), small forward Rukawa Kaede (first year, Green Wind High School), shooting guard Kamiso Ichiro (sophomore, Hainan High School), point guard Fujima Kenji (third year, Shoyo High School).
Third lineup: center Tetsuya Naito (sophomore, Kainan High School), power forward Hanamichi Sakuragi (first year, Shohoku High School), small forward Ichiro Katsume (sophomore, Shohoku High School), shooting guard Imamura (third year, Buri High School), point guard Ryouta Miyagi (second year, Ryonan High School).
Among them: 1. Ryonan team's Uozumi Jun missed one and a half games due to injury and unfortunately did not make the list. 2. Although Buri High School lost both games, Imamura scored an average of 29 points in the two games, and his performance was also eye-catching, and he finally squeezed into the third lineup.
"Although third-year players such as Mugure Kiminori, Akagi Takenori, Maki Shinichi and second-year players such as Sendoh Akira and Miyagi Ryouta performed well in this tournament, we were also pleasantly surprised to find that many first-year rookies performed well. For example, Shohoku's Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mito Yohei, Kiyota Nobunaga, Kainan's Oda Ryumasa, Ryonan's Nango Koichiro, and Midorikaze's Rukawa Kaede. They are the future of Kanagawa, and Kanagawa will continue to have the ability to compete for good results in national competitions because of them. Therefore, this year, a new award is specially awarded in the tournament, that is, the Best Rookie Award. Who will win the Best Rookie Award?"
"Shohoku is the champion, so of course it's this genius, Sakura... Sakura..." Sakuragi Hanamichi stared at the host's mouth and whispered
"He is Rukawa Kaede from Midori Wind High School. Congratulations to Rukawa Kaede."
"What? Why is it that stinky fox?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little dissatisfied, and so was Kiyota Nobunaga. What they didn't know was that the selection of the best rookie of the year had caused a heated debate within the presidium, mainly focusing on Sakuragi and Rukawa, and no one could convince the other. The reason for supporting Sakuragi Hanamichi was that first of all, Sakuragi Hanamichi was a member of the champion Xiangbei, averaging 11.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, which was quite good. The reason for supporting Rukawa was that although Rukawa's performance was only third place, his average of 28.3 points per game was far ahead of other first-year students, and Rukawa was also quite supported by fans. In the end, the statistics of the two spoke for themselves, and Rukawa barely won.
After announcing the best team and best rookie, the most important award of the day - the best player - will be announced soon.
"Next, it will be the most exciting moment. Why? Because we are going to reveal the winner of the best player. Who will it be? Will it be Takenori Akagi, who is known as the best center in Kanagawa, or Mitsui Hisashi, the former junior high school MVP and current sharpshooter, or Shinichi Maki, who performed outstandingly in previous national competitions and will be equally outstanding in this competition?" The host stirred everyone's emotions in a rhythmic manner.
"It's Akagi, the backbone of Xiangbei" by fans who support Akagi
"It's Mitsui. Mitsui was once the MVP of junior high school. His score in this tournament was higher than Akagi's." By fans who support Mitsui Shou
"I didn't want to support Shinichi Maki at first, but since even the best rookie wasn't from the championship team, then the MVP might not be from the championship team either." Those who hold this view are mostly Hainan team fans.
"This host has a talent for storytelling. He can change his career." Not hearing his name, Mu Mu used a joke to cover up his inner disappointment.
"Who is it? Who will win the prize?" The host finally announced the name list after whetting everyone's appetite to the highest point: "None of the above three people, he is Mugure Kiminori from the Xiangbei team."
"Huh? It's me?" Hearing his own name, Mu Mu was stunned.
"Congratulations! Murasakibara!" "The teammates of Xiangbei gathered around Murasakibara, their joy was beyond words.
"Kumure, congratulations!" Maki Shinichi came over and held out his hand, "But in the national competition, our Hainan will definitely beat Xiangbei."
"Thank you!" Mu Mu held Maki Shinichi's hand and exerted a little force: "We will defeat the opponent who was defeated by us Xiangbei once a second time. Xiangbei accepts the challenge!"
