Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 279 The right arm of the future!

"Sakuragi, of course there is something to keep you here."

"You still have Rukawa Kaede, do you want to become stronger?"

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on Coach Anxi's glasses, blocking his eyes.Hearing Coach Anzai's question, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who were left behind, were taken aback. After looking at each other, Sakuragi Hanamichi reacted first, pinching the thick flesh of Coach Anzai's chin , said with a smile:
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Of course I want to become stronger!"

"Are you staying today because you want to give me a little treat? Hahahaha!"

"Father, you are quite discerning. You know how powerful this genius is, but why leave this stinky fox behind?"

"Tch! Tch!!"

At the end of Yingmu Huadao's speech, he waved to Rukawa Feng, as if driving away stray dogs.

Rukawa Feng squinted at Hanamichi Sakuragi, and then looked at Coach Anzai. Although he didn't speak, his eyes had already told Coach Anzai his answer.

"Hohohoho!"

"Since you all want to become stronger, you need to work harder than other players!"

"After the end of training every day, we have to practice for 3 hours. The training will be very tiring. Can you bear it?"

Coach Anxi pointed to the clock hanging on the wall and said with a smile.

The training intensity of Xiangbei High School is also relatively strong among many neon colleges and universities. It takes one and a half hours of morning training, and after school at 03:30 in the afternoon, it will be trained until 6.30 in the evening. .

The ratio of training and reading can almost reach 1:1.

Of course, there is still a huge difference between this and the Jinguji Budo in the United States. The basketball team at Oak Mountain College basically does not have too many cultural classes. Other schools play games, or are on their way to play.

Some people may ask why there is such a big difference between Chinese basketball and European and American basketball. Regardless of race, the training time of young players is the key factor that directly affects the level of players.

Elementary and middle school students in European and American countries will use basketball as a stepping stone to college and even life. The base of elementary and middle school student athletes across the country is quite scary, but looking at China, there are really very few such elementary and middle school athletes.

Most of those who can practice sports are unable to read. Even if you are talented in sports, if you can read, the social environment will not support you to practice sports.

Many sports students often do not formally contact relatively professional campus sports training until the second and third grades of junior high school. The level of this kind of campus training is often very poor. After all, a school’s physical education teachers can often get sick. What kind of high-level coaches do you expect the school to hire?How is that possible?
Most of the people in the national team are players from the youth training, but then again, how many scouts are there from the youth training?With such a big place in the country, how can scouts and coaches cover the selection of talents across the country?At the same time, in order to improve the success rate of material selection, isn't it a simple and effective way to set a height threshold?

But such a selection method will eventually miss most of the talented players.

Popularizing campus basketball, improving the level of campus basketball, and expanding the base of grassroots players are the way out for Chinese basketball.

And Dayao, who was criticized for not doing anything after taking office, did exactly this thing, but this thing is not something that can be achieved in one, two, or four or five years.

At the very least, it will take up to 20 years of deep cultivation before it is possible to see results.In this regard, the rise of Japanese football has proved the feasibility of this approach.

Coach Anzai left Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede behind, not because he had any clever tricks that could make Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede become super masters.

He simply wanted Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede to spend more time on basketball training.There is no way to achieve the strength of a player overnight, and huge training is absolutely indispensable.

Jinguji Budo was able to rise in such a short period of time. In addition to the experience in his own mind, the amount of daily training is simply not comparable to that of ordinary players. It can be said that after all these years, apart from sleeping and attending classes, Budo The rest of the time is spent in the arena or in Fujima's gym.

Coach Anxi can foresee that Jinguji Budo, who has returned from studying in the United States, will definitely have a higher level of strength.Coach Anzai intends to train Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede to become the new right-hand man of Jinguji Budo and lead Xiangbei to the national championship.

"Father, it's only three hours of extra practice. I'm a genius, how could I be overwhelmed?"

"But for some people, it's better not to force yourself, over-training, it's not good if you get injured."

Yingmu Huadao expressed no pressure on the additional training proposed by coach Anzai, and at the same time secretly stepped on Rukawa Kaede.When Ruchuanfeng heard Coach Anxi's proposal for additional training, he did not express any objection. Anyway, he would also practice after returning home, but it was just a solo practice in the yard.

Now it is better to practice in the arena in Xiangbei.Although he is a reserve player in Xiangbei, he still doesn't feel like a master. After each training session, Rukawa Kaede is not ashamed to stay in the arena to practice.

"Hohohoho, good!"

"It just so happens that the two of you can serve as teaching assistants for each other."

When Coach Anxi heard Sakuragi's answer and saw Rukawa Kaede's firm eyes, he knew that the two agreed, and said immediately.Then he glanced at the equipment in the court, patted the arms of Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, and signaled them to follow.

"Extra training on the first day, let's start with something simple."

"Start with the basics, let's do layup training." Coach Anxi murmured, walking towards one of the half courts in the arena.

"Ah?! Dad, are you training for a layup?"

"I already know this! Besides, I can dunk!"

"Dad, you should teach me how to shoot? It's been a long time, that orangutan guy has always taught me to block and rebound."

"I want to attack! I want to score!"

Yingmu Huadao heard what Coach Anxi said, and his face was full of displeasure.

Layup or something, too gorgeous!

"Hohohohoho!"

"Sakuragi, don't worry, shoot, I will teach you."

"For food, you have to eat one bite at a time, and for the road, you have to walk step by step."

"The layup drill I'm going to give you is different from what you usually practice."

"You wait here for me."

Coach Anxi said, turned around and went to the equipment room. When he came out after a while, he walked back to the court with a thin wooden stick about 50cm in his hand.

Both Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede looked at Coach Anzai in a daze, not knowing what Coach Anzai was going to do.

"Sakuragi, go, get a ball and layup!"

Coach Anxi said, walked to the basket with a stick in his hands, Sakuragi heard the words, so he didn't understand, so he went to the sidelines and picked up a basketball, and asked puzzledly:
"Father, what exactly are you going to do? Is it a layup?"

Coach Anxi didn't speak, but waved at Sakuragi.

After receiving the instructions from Coach Anzai, Hanamichi Sakuragi did not hesitate, and quickly ran towards the basket with the ball.

"Genius Sakuragi, scored a layup!"

It was just a simple layup. Sakuragi Hanamichi was not running fast, his body was slack, and soon, he passed Coach Anxi and entered the basket. With a light jump, he stretched out his right hand and sent the ball out.During the layup, Sakuragi still yelled softly, explaining to himself, creating the atmosphere of the game.

However, the second after the basketball was shot, a shadow of a stick flashed past Sakuragi's eyes, and with a snap, it landed on the basketball precisely.Although the strength seems to be small, the layup path was completely destroyed, and the basketball slipped and fell.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Father, what are you doing?"

When the basketball didn't go in, Yingmu Huadao was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his hair and shouted.Coach Anxi's stick brought him back from his imagination to reality.

"Hey, defend!"

"Sakuragi-san, when laying up, you must pay attention to the surrounding situation."

Coach Anxi said with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Rukawa Feng, and continued: "Rukawa-san, you try?"

When Sakuragi heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he walked to Coach Anxi with a smile, grabbed the wooden stick from Coach Anxi's hand, and said meanly: "Father, you are getting old, go and take a rest Bar."

"Defense, leave this kind of thing to young people like me, hahaha!"

When Coach Anxi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Sakuragi, and walked off the court with a smile.After Coach Anzai left the field, Sakuragi pointed at Rukawa Kaede with a stick and shouted, "Smelly fox, come!"

Rukawa Feng curled his lips when he heard this, walked to the sidelines and picked up a basketball, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, his eyes became sharp.

Anti-interference layup practice.

When he was in Wushi Middle School, Rukawa Kaede came into contact with that kind of training method, which was promoted by Jinguji Budo when he was in Wushi Middle School.

During this period of training in Xiangbei, Mitsui Shou arranged the most training for physical fitness, running positions, dribbling and practice games.The team has never used this kind of anti-interference layup practice.

Maybe Mitsui Shou felt that the foundation of these people in Xiangbei was too poor, and it was not time.

At this time, Rukawa Feng saw Sakuragi standing under the basket with a stick, and became interested.

And Hanamichi Sakuragi standing under the basket is also very excited now. During the usual practice games, he has never blocked Kaede Rukawa, but today is different. With the blessing of this stick, it is equivalent to an increase of 50cm for no reason. .

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't stop the other party like this!
While Sakuragi was thinking, Rukawa Kaede was already dribbling the ball forward, at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the three-point line and rushed towards the basket.

Yingmu Huadao, the grinning boss, looked at the ball in Rukawa Feng's hand excitedly, ready to block it with a stick at any time.

Soon, Rukawa Kaede got close to Sakuragi, entered the basket and stood up depressed. His body actually bumped into Sakuragi Hanamichi's body actively, pressing Sakuragi and unable to jump up. Then he stretched out his hand and shot the basketball.

Sakuragi Hanamichi obviously didn't expect that Rukawa Kaede would take the initiative to fight with his body. He couldn't use his full bounce at all, so he could only hold the wooden stick and try to hit the ball. High, easily crossed the stick and hit the board into the net.

"What?!" Sakuragi was obviously taken aback when he heard the sound of the basketball entering the net, and then angrily shouted at Rukawa Feng:
"Stinky fox, you fouled!"

"Hit someone with the ball! Dad, Rukawa Kaede made a foul!"

Sakuragi tried to find Coach Anzai on the sidelines for a comment. Before Coach Anzai could speak, Rukawa Kaede replied flatly: "You just moved your feet and didn't stand still. This is a reasonable collision."

"Damn it, it's a foul! I don't care, it's a foul!"

"You scumbag! Smelly fox!"

Facing Sakuragi's broken thoughts, Rukawa Feng spread his hands, ignored Sakuragi, and sighed softly: "Big idiot"

On the other side of Sakuragi, after reading brokenly for a few minutes, seeing that Coach Anxi didn't say anything, he slowly stopped cursing, then rolled his eyes, threw the stick at Rukawa Feng, and shouted:
"Change me! Change me! I'll layup, you guard me!"

Rukawa Feng caught the wooden stick subconsciously, and when he heard what Yingmu Huadao said, he didn't object, and walked to the basket silently.

There is a difference between anti-interference layup practice and one-on-one defense. The defender can only stand under the basket and cannot defend it.In other words, Sakuragi Hanamichi can maximize the bounce when laying up, and at the same time, there is a strong potential energy brought by sprinting.

The wooden stick is very thin, as long as Sakuragi can dodge a little in the air and improve his release point, he can successfully layup.The essence of this kind of training is actually to cultivate the aerial vision of offensive players, as well as the ability to avoid defense in the air, which greatly simulates actual layups with defensive players.

Rukawa Kaede holding a stick is equivalent to a center forward with a height of about 220cm and a jumping wingspan.

If Dayao is there to assist in the training, he only needs to stand under the basket and raise his hands, which is enough, and to this extent, it is a huge challenge for Sakuragi.Even, for many NBA point guards, it is not a small challenge. I don't know how many NBA players Yao Ming has blocked.

On the court, Yingmu Huadao has already charged towards the basket with the ball. This time, his speed has increased, and soon, Yinggi Huadao is killing towards the basket with strong kinetic energy, and Yinggi also imitated Looking at Kaede Rukawa, he planned to take the initiative to find some physical confrontation.

In this regard, Rukawa Feng did not dodge or evade, and deliberately accumulated strength. At the moment Sakuragi approached, Rukawa Feng took off on the spot a quarter earlier than Sakuragi, and the next moment he jumped, Sakuragi Hanadao also jumped Then, the bodies of the two collided in the air, and Sakuragi sent the ball directly without thinking about it.

But the second after the basketball was shot, the shadow of the stick flickered and hit the basketball directly.

"Ahhh!" Sakuragi Hanadao yelled after the layup failed, and quickly ran to the basket, picked up the basketball and walked towards the three-point line, shouting:
"Come again!"

up.

What Rukawa Kaede could do, Sakuragi couldn't do. This was something that Sakuragi Hanadao absolutely couldn't tolerate, and the key point was that such a layup was not difficult at all in Sakuragi Hanadao's eyes.

He is a genius, how could he not be able to do such a simple thing?

Off the court, Coach Anxi pushed his glasses when he saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth curled up in meaning, very satisfied with Sakuragi's fighting spirit.However, Coach Anxi didn't have the idea of ​​watching a good show. After seeing Sakuragi's question, he directly said:

"Sakuragi, your bounce is very good, don't rush to shoot, you should watch the position of the stick when laying up."

"The shooting point can be higher. If you want to successfully layup in front of Rukawa Kaede, these must be done."

"Think of a way, stay longer in the air, think of a way, see more clearly in the air!"

Coach Anzai's expectations for Sakuragi Hanamichi are not small. He does not expect Hanamichi to become an all-around scorer like Jinguji Budo, but also wants Sakuragi to reach the height of Tanizawa.After he learned about Jinguji Budo's experience in the United States, Coach Anzai made a series of training plans for Sakuragi and Rukawa.

This anti-interference layup training is just the beginning!

Before the next IH, he will train Sakuragi Hanamichi to be a qualified power forward, a player who can assist Akagi's defense in the interior and at the same time give offensive pressure to the interior.

Train Rukawa Kaede into a strong ball-handler who can share the offensive pressure of Jinguji Budo, a more powerful ball-handler than Mitsui Hisashi!

Mitsui Shou and Akagi will be in the third grade next year, and Shonhoku needs a new carriage to drive Shohoku towards the national championship.
