Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

At the award ceremony, the MVP went to Sanno's center, the best first team was won by the champion and runner-up, except for the point guard who was Hakata Sho, all other positions were Sanno's players, and Moroboshi Dai won the best newcomer. At the award ceremony, the tournament organizing association suddenly broke a news: "Starting next year, the national tournament will expand!"

The specific measures are as follows: "Next year, the number of places in the national competition will become 60, and the counties where the top four teams are located will each occupy 0.25 places. In addition to the places that directly enter the national competition, the other 0.25 places will be obtained by the best remaining team. These four teams will fight against each other for this place! The national competition will still adopt a single-elimination system. Starting from the year after next, the number of places in the national competition will become 64, and the defending champion will directly enter the national competition. The four play-off places will be divided among the counties where the top eight teams are located. The eight teams will fight against each other, and the winner will enter the national competition. This national competition will adopt a group stage + knockout stage system. The 64 teams will be divided into 16 groups, and the group stage will adopt a single round-robin system. The first place in the group will advance. Then after a draw, a knockout stage will be held to determine the final champion."

The reason for the reform of the competition system is that, firstly, such adjustments are made to better select talents and avoid burying talents. After the Chinese team returned to the Asian Basketball Association, Japan's position as the leader in Asia was replaced by the Chinese team. After that, the Japanese national team failed to make the top three in the Asian Championships in 1985, and its performance was much worse than before. In 1989, it failed to make the top three again. At the same time, there was a talent gap, and the Japanese Basketball Association decided to implement reforms. Secondly, since Sanno Industrial is the only one in Akita Prefecture, other teams in Akita Prefecture have protested. However, if this quota is given directly to Akita Prefecture, other prefectures will not accept it, and other prefectures (including Kanagawa) have also requested to increase the quota of their own prefectures. After careful consideration, the organizing committee proposed this plan, "Since you all want to increase the quota, then you must show corresponding results. If your county's representative team can enter the quarterfinals, you will have the opportunity to enter the national competition. If the representative team does not have good results, then what qualifications do you have to ask for an increase in quotas?"

"This trip to the tournament was not in vain. Not only did I see the strength of my national opponents, but I also got to know this piece of news in advance. Akagi, Mitsui, next year we have a better chance of advancing to the national tournament."

"Well, we will definitely advance to the national competition next year, come on!"

"come on"

After returning to school, Mu Mu told the news to the players of Xiangbei, and the players of Xiangbei became more motivated.

"Katsumi, Nakajima, you two should also work hard and try to adapt to the intensity of the high school league as soon as possible." After finishing the county junior high school competition, Katsumi and Nakajima also came to Xiangbei and practiced with Xiangbei in advance. In this junior high school competition, Takeishi Junior High School led by Katsumi was eliminated in the semi-finals. The championship was won by Kainan. Rikkai Junior High School where Nakajima was located reached the quarter-finals and was eliminated by the runner-up Shoyo Junior High School.

"Nakajima, how is Miyagi in your team now?" Mu Mu suddenly remembered Miyagi

"I don't know what Miyagi is doing now. After the team was eliminated, he has not come to the basketball team again. I rarely see him at other times. I think he is probably hiding somewhere to practice basketball."

"Practice?" Well, he should practice on his own first. According to the original work, Miyagi will become a member of Xiangbei. Mugure did not rush to contact Miyagi to recruit him, but he did not know that this move made Mugure regretful later.

"Kemei, are there any great players this year?"

"Yes, there is a guy named Rukawa Kaede in Fuqiu Junior High School. He is still a sophomore, but his strength is not inferior to mine. Our opponent in the quarterfinals is Fuqiu Junior High School. It is difficult for me to defend him. He scored 31 points by himself. If it weren't for his poor physical strength, it would not be so easy for us to eliminate Fuqiu. There is a guy named Kiyota Nobunaga in Hainan Junior High School. He is also a sophomore. Although he is not tall, his physical fitness is very good. There is a center named Kamiso Ichiro in the Ninth Junior High School who is also good. Although his position is center, his shooting is very accurate."

"Sakuragi, Yohei, Rukawa Kaede and Kiyota Nobunaga, you must remember their names. They are from the same class as you and will be your main rivals."

"Rukawa Kaede and Kiyota Nobunaga? Hahaha, they are no match for this genius." Sakuragi was as arrogant as ever. Murasaki also smiled helplessly. He didn't say anything. Sakuragi, who hadn't even played a formal game, obviously didn't understand the charm of basketball. It was useless to talk to him. When he had practiced the basics and joined the basketball team to participate in the game, he would understand.

"Kume? Who is the MVP of this year?" Mu Mu asked again

"He's from Kainan Junior High School, his name is Matsui Oura, and he plays as a small forward. He has a pretty accurate shot and is good at dribbling, but his defense is average. Our Takeishi Junior High School faced Kainan Junior High School in the semifinals, and although he scored 28 points, I also scored 25 points against him. Senior Murasaki, it doesn't mean much even if you know his name. After the game, I told him that the high school would decide the winner. But he told me that his family was moving to Aichi Prefecture for high school." Kemei answered.

"Oh? Interesting. Maki Shinichi was recruited from Aichi Prefecture to Hainan. This year, the MVP of Kanagawa was recruited to Aichi Prefecture."

"Katsumi, even though he went to Aichi Prefecture, you still have to work harder. When you reach high school and enter the national competition, you may have another chance to play against him. Then you can defeat him," Mitsui advised the junior.

"Yes, Mitsui-senpai."

The reform of the competition system also gave hope to other teams in Kanagawa, and they recruited new players.

Ryonan Basketball Stadium

"After a year of training, Yuzhu has improved rapidly. A friend recommended a player named Sendoh Akira in Tokyo who is very strong. I have to go to Tokyo to take a look. As soon as Dacheng graduated, there was no point guard to take over. Although Miyagi is not tall, he has excellent potential. I have to work on him. If both of them can come to Ryonan, then it is not a dream for Ryonan to enter the national competition."

Buri High School

"Next year is the last year for the Kobayashi brothers, and it's also Buri's last hope to enter the national competition. We must not waste it. Imamura has excellent shooting ability. But this is not enough. Our backcourt is too weak. That's why we lost to Kainan and Shoyo. We need to find high-quality guards." Buri's fat coach is also studying how to increase the strength of his team.

Xiangyang High School

"Next year, Kanagawa will have an extra place in the playoffs, and the competition will be more intense. Instead of looking for high-quality players, it is better to tap the potential within. We have three big guys in the first grade. We have to train them well." Shoyo's coach took a different path.

Hainan High School... No movement. After all, as a champion for many years, they would not be affected by this news.
