"What was that just now!?"

"I must be dreaming! That was just halftime!"

"This guy is a monster!"

Ze Yu Shangtian opened his mouth wide. The scene of Song Gangdong pitching the ball just now kept in his mind. He still couldn't believe that the ball just now actually went in!

"It must be a coincidence. The other party is lucky." Nakagami Miyaji swallowed his saliva as he looked at the smiling Matsuoka.

At this time, Coach Ohno was also frightened. Although the situation just now was not uncommon, it only occurred in exhibition matches. In formal competitions, people would only try like this when there were only a few seconds left, but the chance of scoring was very small.

"Ahem, let's continue the game." Seeing that everyone was in a daze, Coach Ohno reminded them.

After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Songgang Dong with strange eyes, but they still started the next game.

Chapter 127 Preparing to march into the country

The game on the basketball court continued, and the opponent had the ball. This time, Moriya Qingta was not careless and did not give Songgang any space.

The regular players are regular players, and they have very good understanding in cooperation, which is something that Songgang Dong's hastily put together team cannot compete with.

So the opponent quickly broke through the defense and got 2 points. Finally, they scored a goal to break the zero-point state, but all the players did not relax because Songgang Dong got the ball first this time.

"I don't believe he can make another shot," Nakagami Miyaji thought as he looked at him.

Even the team captain, Aita Moriya, thought that the long shot just now wouldn't always be so lucky, so he let the point guard defend as usual.

The point guard was not too cautious in getting close to the player, so when Songgang Dong made a move to run forward, he stepped back to block his route.

However, Songgang Dong stopped where he was, then jumped up and shot the ball again. This time everyone felt incredible, and then the ball went into the basket just like last time.

The only sound on the court was the sound of the basketball falling to the ground. Everyone's eyes were following the ball. There was no other sound. Everyone was completely shocked!

"Wasn't that lucky just now?!"

"Oh my god, it went in again!"

"Tell me today isn't April Fools' Day"

"Is he a monster?"

"This super long three-pointer is amazing!"

Ten seconds later, the basketball club members were even more excited than before. The whole basketball hall was like a boiling pot, and all the cats and birds nearby were scared away.

Coach Ohno stood up with a red face. He never dreamed that Songgang Dong had this skill. As long as he had this long-range artillery shell, dominating the country would no longer be a dream!

"This is too unfair!" Ze Yu Shang Tian wailed in his heart.

At this time, Nakagi Miyaji was completely convinced. His three-point shot could not be compared with this thing at all. He now didn't know what to call this ball.

Captain Moriya Aota's face was full of excitement at this time, and his eyes were very hot as he looked at Matsuoka Dong, because this was the super weapon for the national competition.

Songgang Dong was still smiling. He had practiced this move for a long time before. However, he was not as tall as he is now, so the accuracy rate was only 80%.

But with his current physical condition, he is more than 90% confident. Of course, this kind of ultra-long three-pointer also has its disadvantages, that is, it requires absolute physical and mental strength to be fully utilized, otherwise the accuracy will drop rapidly.

So this means that it can only be used at the beginning of the game. After two quarters, it will not work and you can only use ordinary three-pointers.

However, he believed that this was enough, because it could destroy the opponent's spirit and confidence and disrupt the formation. If they defended him from the beginning, there would be big loopholes in the defense, and then the opponent would be more desperate.

"Nakagi, go guard him and make sure not to let the opponent have a chance to pitch," Moriya Aota ordered.

Nakagi Miyaji nodded, so when the ball fell to Songgang Dong again, he stayed close to him, and he did not relax even in the half-court.

Song Gangdong smiled and said, "How about my three-pointer?"

"That's great. I'll give up my position," Nakagami Miyaji said calmly, although he felt sorry for it.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I want to tell you that my breakthrough ability is stronger." Song Gangdong's dribbling speed began to change.

Nakaki Miyaji was a little surprised to hear this, but at this moment Songgang Dong moved, and the ball in his hand disappeared, which made Nakaki Miyaji suddenly confused.

When he came to his senses, Songgang Dong had disappeared. From the perspective of others, it seemed that Songgang Dong had passed the basketball through his crotch, but he was distracted and did not notice it.

"Damn it!" Nakagami Miyaji quickly turned around and chased after him.

However, it was too late. Matsuoka Dong quickly broke into the penalty area, but just as he jumped up and wanted to make a layup, captain Moriya Aita and the small forward jumped up to block him.

The two players blocked the basket tightly, making a normal layup impossible. However, Songgang suddenly switched the ball to his other hand in mid-air and then made a hook shot to bypass their defense.

Bang, the ball hit the backboard and bounced onto the rim, spun around the edge and finally went in, and then the three of them landed together.

"This, this is Rukawa Kaede's move, my god, this can be reproduced!"

"Who is better, Songgang or Rukawa?"

"What an idiot! Real people and cartoon characters are simply incomparable. But I feel Songgang is better. No one can make that super long three-pointer in Slam Dunk."

When Songgang Dong heard this, he smiled in his heart, thinking that you have never watched Kuroko's basketball, otherwise you would know that this kind of long-range shot is nothing.

Now all the players in the game, no matter which side they were on, looked at him as if he were a monster, which made Songgang feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, he didn't expect that his basketball ability would be much stronger than before. He probably had some talent in this body, plus the recent training results were remarkable.

"Okay, don't be scared, everyone. After all, the opponent is only one person. You have to know that basketball is played by five people. We will have no problem blocking him next time." During the break, Moriya Aita saw that everyone was in low spirits and encouraged them.

"Who is the captain? He has such ability but no one knew about it before," the point guard complained.

Moriya Qingta smiled bitterly: "Who knows that, but now I am glad that he will not be our opponent in the future."

"Yeah, otherwise it would be really despairing," Nakagami Miyaji said with emotion as he looked at Matsuoka drinking water in the distance.

All the players agreed with this point. It would be a nightmare to meet Songgang in a formal competition. Fortunately, he is a teammate now.

In the first quarter, all the points were scored by Songgang Dong, and the score gap on their side was not that big. As long as they had the ball, they could score almost any points.

However, this also made the fight very tiring for them, because any slight negligence would lead to them being caught by Songgang, so they had to concentrate at all times.

In the subsequent games, Moriya Qingta and his team completely blocked Matsuoka, and they used three people, which means that the others were two against four.

I have to say that the old players are still pretty good. Songgang Dong's players are no match at all. Except for the small forward Ze Yu Naota who can occasionally score, the others are simply not good at all.

Although Songgang Dong was able to seize the opportunity to score occasionally, the opponent team still won in the end. It can only be said that he is not a god and he can't drag four people alone.

"I'm glad you can join our team." After the game, Moriya Qingta came to Matsuoka with water.

"Thank you." Song Gangdong took it and nodded, sweating all over.

Moriya Qingtai looked at the other players and said to himself, "It's been a long time since Haicheng High School has entered the national competition. I had given up hope, but I didn't expect you to show up."

Then he looked at Songgang Dong seriously and said, "Mr. Songgang, I'll leave everything to you from now on. I hope you can lead us to dominate the country!"

"I will, after all, this also has something to do with my recommendation for further studies," said Songgang Dong with a smile.

"No matter what, I believe you will be recommended," Moriya Aota smiled.

This game made everyone completely convinced of Song Gangdong, and the official starting lineup of players was also announced. Among them, center captain Moriya Qingta was definitely there, and then there was Song Gangdong shooting guard.

The power forward is the veteran player Ishida Mina, the point guard is also a veteran player Kamijiro Yugi, and the small forward is more surprising, it is the same newcomer Sawa Uehara Naota.

From the game just now, we can see that Ze Yu Shang Tian is indeed stronger than the old players. After Song Gangdong was blocked, he was still able to score a lot of points with his strength.

"Now the starting lineup has been confirmed, and there is another piece of news, that is, the schedule for the qualifying matches has been booked, which is next Tuesday. I hope everyone will be prepared," Ohno Kazukami informed seriously.

The players became more excited. They were now looking forward to the national competition because maybe their class would be the most dazzling one in Haicheng High School.

After saying this, Coach Ohno asked the others to go to training and left Matsuoka Dong alone.

"Mr. Matsuoka, you must conserve your strength during the trials and only use the usual five points," Ohno Kazukami advised.

"No problem, then I'll just play the second half, so that I can get to know my teammates better," Song Gangdong suggested.

Ohno thought for a moment and nodded: "This is a good idea. It will also make other teams think that you are doing this because you lack physical strength."

Songgang Dong smiled but said nothing. In fact, he was just lazy. However, this misunderstanding was exactly what he meant. It seemed that Coach Ohno was not as incapable of playing tricks as he seemed.

Afterwards, Songgang Dong left early without practicing, but it didn't make any sense for others to join in, after all, he had his own talent.

In fact, Songgang Dong also wanted to practice. After all, sports require a certain amount of exercise. However, he did have something to do today, which was to go to Shueisha to sign a contract.

As soon as he walked out of the school gate, a BMW stopped at the door, and then the window was rolled down. Sitting in the driver's seat was Machiko Dai, the chief lawyer of Aoyama Law Firm, who was also in charge of the Shinomiya case.

"Thank you for picking me up," Song Gangdong said gratefully after getting in the car.

Dai Machiko responded casually, "You are the boss as it should be, but I didn't expect you to be a best-selling manga artist. I am really surprised."

"It's okay. In fact, there are still many high school cartoonists," said Matsuoka Dong modestly.

"But there is no one who gets huge royalties like you do. I actually suggest that you register a company yourself, so you can save a lot of taxes," suggested Machiko Dai.

"Well, that's true. Can I be the legal officer of my company at that time?" Song Gangdong said with a smile.

"That's no problem, as long as you pay the salary," Daizhen responded with a smile. This was actually the purpose of her suggestion.

Chapter 128 Recruitment Failure

At Shueisha, Matsuoka Fuyu was chatting with editor Yoshino, and then Machiko Dai was checking the contract with the other party's legal department, which was a very time-consuming job.

"Mr. Songgang's income will be even greater after signing this contract, congratulations," congratulated editor Yoshino.

Song Gangdong asked curiously: "I really don't know how much it is. I haven't paid much attention to the income recently."

Dai Machiko was speechless after hearing this. It was really frustrating to compare yourself with others. As the chief lawyer, she worked diligently every day for a year, sacrificing all her time, but even if she was lucky, she still couldn't make hundreds of millions of yen.

Just by looking at this contract, she could estimate that this little guy's annual income would easily exceed 100 million in the future, so she felt a little jealous.

"This year, because we only have four months of revenue, the revenue is just over 100 million at most. But next year, it is estimated to be over 200 million. This is just for Slam Dunk. If the new work is popular, it will be even more," Shueisha's financial officer said with envy.

"Are there so many?" Song Gangdong was a little surprised.

Editor Yoshino smiled and explained: "That's normal. Your royalties have become the highest standard, so you can earn one million yen a month. Then there's 10% of the single book revenue plus 5% of the animation and 5% of the derivative products. That's about it."

"I knew all this but I didn't expect there would be so many," Song Gangdong said happily.

Compared with China, writers in Japan do live a comfortable life. Of course, the competition is also very fierce, but as long as you can stand out, the wealth will continue to flow in.

While we were chatting, the legal affairs department also finished. After Machiko Dai nodded to indicate that it was okay, Matsuoka Dong signed his name and stamped the contract.

"Happy cooperation," Song Gangdong extended his hand.

Yoshino was also very happy at this time: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Since you've signed it, I'll give it to you." Song Gangdong smiled and took out a file bag from his schoolbag.
