Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 100 Rival!

The Xiangbei high school basketball team is different from the famous basketball schools in Hainan and Xiangyang. There are not many new students joining the basketball team every year, and the quality of the players is quite average.

After a training match, it is easy to see how heavy the new players are.

Although Wu Dao has only played half of the game, his outstanding personal ability has already left a deep impression on everyone's hearts.

At the end of the training match, all the players lined up on the court. Coach Anxi stood directly opposite the team, looked at the players, and announced:
"The training match is over here."

"I have also seen the abilities of the new players. Many new players have some foundation, but the foundation is still relatively weak and needs more practice."

"Of course, there are some outstanding players among the new players. I think everyone can see this."

When Coach Anxi said this, all eyes subconsciously looked towards Budao. Anxi Koyoshi seemed to have not noticed the eyes of the players, and continued:
"Student Jinguji Budao, your personal ability is very outstanding. From today on, you are the official selection player of Xiangbei."

"And Miyagi Ryota-san, you are also a regular member of Shonhoku."

"Other players who have not been able to become the official selection, I hope that you can train hard in the future and keep up with the training rhythm of the old players. As long as you train hard and improve your ability, you will still have a chance to play in the official game."

"Mitsui, when the time comes, arrange a jersey for Miyagi-san."

After Anzai Koyoshi finished speaking, he silently walked to the side seat and sat down, vacating the seat for Mitsui Hisashi.

Mitsui Shou nodded, walked out of the queue, came in front of everyone, and said loudly:
"I think everyone knows in their hearts that our Xiangbei High School Basketball Club is just a nobody in the whole country."

"Not to mention the whole country, even Kanagawa Prefecture, we in Shonhoku can't be ranked!"

"However, this is definitely not an excuse for you to slack off."

"I am absolutely sure that our Xiangbei High School will be the strongest team in the county this year!"

"Our goal is to dominate the country!"

"If any of you don't have such awareness, it's still too late to leave the basketball club!"

"Because what you are about to meet next will be hellish training!"

"Tell me, is anyone leaving?"

Although Mitsui Shou looks like a jade-faced niche, but when he speaks, he is sonorous and powerful. When the words "dominate the country" come out of his mouth, he is quite firm. It can be seen that Mitsui Shou has never doubted himself. , doubted whether his team had such strength.

Miyagi Ryota and the first graders were somewhat infected by Mitsui’s words. Kakuda Satoru and the others clenched their fists, staring at Mitsui’s inspired appearance, looking forward to the scene of dominating the country. How could there be any idea of ​​retiring from the club? .

As for Jinguji Budo, looking at Mitsui Shou who was speaking in front of the team, he secretly sighed in his heart, the energetic young man in front of him really hasn't changed at all!

Kamakura.

Lingnan High School is located by the sea in Kamakura. The location of the school is relatively remote. Most of the people who come to this school need to take the morning train to arrive at the school on time.

The best result of the basketball team of Lingnan High School in recent years is only the top eight in the county.The head coach of the basketball department of Lingnan High School is called Moichi Tiangang. He is 40 years old. He was a famous basketball player in the country when he was young. After retiring, he returned to his alma mater in high school and served as the coach of the basketball team.

The middle-aged coach Tian Gang has always had a dream in his heart, or ambition, that is to personally lead Lingnan High School to win many national championships and fulfill his unfulfilled dream when he was young.

For this reason, whenever there is a junior high school competition, Coach Tian Gang will appear on the invitation seats of major competitions, looking for players who can help Lingnan High School win the championship. He has appeared in all the basketball powerhouses.

Maybe it's because of the unsatisfactory results of Lingnan in the past, or because Coach Tian Gang's reputation is not good enough. In the past, coach Tian Gang sent out many invitations, but all of them were rejected. All the efforts he put in, Most of the time, it's all down the drain.

But fortunately, Emperor Tian paid off, and finally this year, Tian Gangmoichi's hard work has borne fruit.

"Duang!!"

On the basketball court of Lingnan High School, a handsome young man soared into the air, received a pass from his teammate, held the ball against Yuchun's defense, and slammed the ball into the basket.A beautiful alley-oop slam dunk made Lingnan's arena instantly silent.

Tian Gang Shigeichi was standing on the edge of the court, and when he saw the heroic figure of the young man dunking, he immediately widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and his face was full of excitement.

"Xiandao, pass it on well."

"I'll make the ball for you in the next attack."

The boy who dunked jumped down, his handsome face was full of smiles, and when he returned to defense, he came to a boy with a spiky head and boxed with him to celebrate.

"No, I suddenly found that the feeling of assisting is very good. I don't know why, seeing you receive my pass and score the ball, I feel more satisfied than I score myself."

"Tian Ye, continue to maintain this offensive rhythm, there is no need to change it."

"The senior team can't stop us!"

Xian Daozhang smiled gently, and said while returning to defense.

"it is good!"

"But speaking of it, the veteran team members in Lingnan are really weak! Many of them are not even as good as my teammates from Hengtian Middle School."

While returning to defense, Shinomiya Tianye turned his head, glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines, and said with emotion.

While Xiangbei High School was holding a freshman practice match, Lingnan High School was also holding a freshman practice match.The same as the Xiangbei high school practice match, the game also showed a one-sided crushing situation, but unlike Xiangbei, the side that was crushed was not the freshman.

At 63:24, the freshman team led by Shinomiya Tano and Sendo Akira led by a large score. It only took four or five minutes for the second half to start, and the point difference had already widened to 5 points. The so-called freshman practice match was basically a senior The butchery of the players.

"huh huh huh huh!"

"Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao are indeed the elites I personally selected. With the two of them joining Lingnan High School, they immediately became a strong team at the national level."

"If you train Yuzhu well this year, won't the champion of the county competition be within your grasp?!"

"Hey hey, do you want to have a 'friendly match' with Gao Tou and the others first? Let Gao Tou experience the power of our Lingnan Twin Stars?"

As soon as Tian Gangmao stood on the sidelines, no one was talking to him, but he kept muttering.

"No, no, we can't let them see it now, this is our secret weapon in Lingnan!"

"What if we are prepared in the future?"

"But we still have to play the practice match, who should we find?"

Tian Gangmao rubbed his chin with a pensive look on his face. Suddenly, Tian Gangmao's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, his mouth widened, and he laughed "hiehiehie".

"Shohoku, Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi Ryota who rejected me have gone to Shonhoku, let these two boys see the strength of our Lingnan."

"Regret! Regret this easy-to-get national championship and miss the championship team. These two boys must be very sad!"

"Hahahaha!"

On the day Jinguji Budo entered Xiangbei High School, he successfully became a regular player, and his number in the team was No. 15 at the end.Miyagi Ryota, who is obviously a first-year player like Budo, has accepted the jersey number of a third-year senior who retired this year, No. 7.

As for Kakuda Satoru and others who are in the same class as Budo and Miyagi, it is a pity that they are not eligible for the jersey.

Jinguji Budo started his life playing in Shonhoku High School. As Mitsui Hisashi said in the team before, the training in Shonhoku High School is quite heavy. This kind of high-intensity training does not match the identity of the Shonhoku team.

Although the training in Xiangbei was led by Mitsui Hisashi, Budo can still see the shadow of Anzai Koyoshi's manipulation from these trainings.Because although the training in Xiangbei is heavy, it does not have all kinds of training in a mess. On the contrary, the training subjects are not only few, but also very basic.

Physical training, shooting training, dribbling and passing, basic running.For all training subjects, there is no advanced training method, monotonous and basic.

For martial arts, this kind of training is at most to maintain one's own competitive state, and the biggest effect may be the basic skills of pragmatic martial arts. As for improving the skills?Not obvious.

Although the effect on martial arts is limited, it is quite useful to most people in Xiangbei High School. Many old players in Xiangbei and new players who joined Xiangbei have very poor basic skills.

Takenori Akagi, who has just entered his sophomore year this year, has made a huge improvement in dribbling compared to his freshman year, but it is far from enough.Moreover, Akagi Takenori's shooting range is also very short, and shooting training is also very helpful to Akagi Takenori.

As for Miyagi Ryota, although his dribbling is very good, his shooting is a mess, and the corresponding practice is also very helpful for him.

The rest of the players have their own shortcomings, and Xiangbei's training is of great help to the players.Although martial arts has higher special training methods, it has not been proposed hastily.The reason is also very simple, that is, the foundation of most people in Xiangbei is too poor, not suitable for advanced training methods.

A few of them are like Mitsui Shou, but they are no longer on the technical level, but on a deeper level, training related to talent development.But this kind of training is not suitable for the developing Mitsui Shou.

Perhaps the most helpful part of Xiangbei High School's training in martial arts is the group training. It is very important for a team that is motivated to compete for the championship to develop a tacit understanding among the players.

"Miyagi, the pass is too high and the catch is uncomfortable."

On the court, everyone in Shonoku was practicing. Jinguji Budou received a pass from Miyagi Ryota from beyond the three-point line. When the basketball started, he immediately shouted.

"Ah?! How is it possible? You got the ball as soon as you stretched out your hand. Why is it so high? How could my pass be so high?"

Miyagi Ryota was obviously quite confident in his passing, and immediately retorted dissatisfiedly when he heard Budou's words.The practice match was also suspended because of the conversation between the two of them.

"I'm not used to it. I catch the ball outside the three-point line. The offensive intention is to break through and shoot a three-pointer. Whether it's a breakthrough or a three-pointer, the position of the catch should be near the waist."

"In this way, I can break through and drop the ball quickly, and if I pull up, I can also lift the ball up from this position and shoot."

"But I catch the ball with my hands raised, and I have to adjust my posture if I want to shoot. There is no way to shoot the ball immediately."

"If you break through, you have to drop the ball from a high place to your waist, which is a waste of time."

Jinguji Budo holds the ball in both hands, and while talking, demonstrates moves for Miyagi Yoshida. Miyagi Yoshida watches Budo holding the ball and demonstrating from a distance, and silently nods.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Miyagi knew that Budo was right.Budo is different from him, because of height, the smoothness of receiving the ball is directly related to whether the subsequent movements are fast enough, and the efficiency of breakthroughs and shooting is often affected by this subtle difference.

The practice match continued, another round of offense, Budo occupied the inside line, Miyagi Yoshita hit the ball into Budo's hands, Budo quickly raised the ball, and scored with a small hook.

Although the ball was scored, Budo still came to Miyagi's side when returning to the court, and said: "Miyagi, the height of the pass this time is too low. If I get the ball high, I can hook it directly. Score the ball."

"When playing positional warfare, if the situation permits, when you pass the ball, you can try to observe the players defending me and guess my possible attack method, so as to choose the height of the pass."

Miyagi Ryota was obviously taken aback when he heard this. It was the first time he heard that the passer needs to guess the offensive intention of his teammates.Before that, Miyagi will observe whether the defender is likely to intercept his pass. His mind is only thinking about how to pass the ball smoothly, and he does not think about where the receiver is more likely to catch the ball. Good for offense.

Budo's words seemed to open a door to a new world for Miyagi.

"Okay!" Miyagi Yoshida nodded and responded directly.In the second half of the practice match, no matter who he is partnering with, Miyagi Ryota will always think about how to make the catcher comfortable and easy to attack.

While guessing the offensive intentions of his teammates, Miyagi more or less discovered the small movements of some teammates when they broke through or shot. When encountering these players in the practice match, Miyagi's role on the defensive end has actually improved significantly.

The Xiangbei players have entered the running-in period. With the progress of the training, the lineup of the starting players has become more and more clear. Although Coach Anxi has never officially announced it, just judging by the team formation of the players, how many people there are? At least you can guess it.

There is no doubt that the center Akagi Takenori, the power forward Chiba Oishi also appeared on the court very many times, the small forward is of course the most terrifying offensive performance Jinguji Budo, Budo scoring tricks are fancy, in the eyes of many people, Budo's technology Stronger than Mitsui Shou's.

Mitsui Hisashi is at the position, and the point guard is Miyagi Ryota, who is also a first-year player.

These five people are also the ones who have formed the most teams. After the first week of school, the usual running training, these five people have been completely finalized.

It is worth mentioning that on the second day of school, Xiangbei High School ushered in the first female manager in the history of team building. With the approval of Coach Anzai, Ayako Inoue also became a member of the basketball team of Xiangbei High School as the team manager. , appearing on the training ground during daily training.

Her arrival made the training enthusiasm of the basketball department unprecedentedly high.

On the evening of Friday, after the training, Coach Anxi announced to everyone that he would go to Lingnan High School in Kamakura on Sunday to participate in the practice match.
