Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

The departure of the third-year players made Xiangbei High School's combat effectiveness significantly weakened.

Although Jinguji Budao sits at Shohoku High School, he can only suppress some conflicts among Shohoku players. It is obviously not possible to restore the strength of Shohoku High School to the top level in a short time.

Of course, this problem is not limited to Xiangbei High School. Lingnan High School, which was originally similar in strength to Xiangbei High School, is also facing such a problem.

Moreover, the problems encountered by Lingnan High School are even bigger than those of Xiangbei High School!
The age structure of Lingnan's players is older than that of Shonhoku. The team's starters, Kenji Fujima, Toru Hanagata, and Jun Uozumi, are all third-year players. The main rotation is Ryoji Ikegami, who is also a third-year player.

Jun Uozumi, the main center, and Ryoji Ikegami, the main rotation, also announced their retirement after losing the national competition.

On the contrary, it is Hanakata and Fujima Kenji, who have been contacted by the university during this summer vacation, and the two of them do not need to go home to "inherit the family business" like Uozumi, so they have not retired, and plan to continue to follow The team will participate in the autumn national sports and winter trials in the second half of the year.

Although only Yuzumi Jun and Ikegami were missing, this problem was very serious.

Lingnan High School is different from Xiangbei. Among their first-year players, there is no player of Uozumi's level.Now the team's backup center is Sugahira, a sophomore in high school.

This player's height condition is very good, it is almost two meters now, but this guy has a very serious flaw, that is, he does not grow flesh!

Sugahira, who is 197cm tall and weighs only 75kg, is completely a bamboo pole center forward.

If this is a game for elementary school students, then his bamboo pole shape doesn't matter much, as long as he is tall enough, he can establish an advantage in the paint.

But this is high school, not to mention the high confrontation intensity of inside players, and the centers of other strong teams in Kanagawa Prefecture are not short in height.

Sugahira can't replace Yuzhu Jun's position, and he can't play the starting lineup!

This point, after Jun Uozumi left the team, Coach Tianoka has already realized it.

Therefore, Coach Tianoka's decision was to move Toru Hanagata from the position of power forward to the main center, and at the same time mentioned the second-year Yoshio Fukuda to the position of starting power forward.

Although such an arrangement has been made, the hidden dangers of Lingnan are still great, because there are no more inside rotations in their team.

Finally, in order to solve this problem, Coach Tian Gang focused on the first-year players.

The outstanding second-year players were Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao. At that time, Lingnan High School did not produce any results, and there were not many outstanding second-year players.

However, in the first grade of Lingnan, there are also some players who have considerable training value.

Their freshmen in Lingnan this year were recruited during their Lingnan championship, so the quality is much better than Lingnan's previous years!

It's just that most of these players admire the teams that Shinomiya Tano and Sendo Akira entered. They are basically guard players, or they play the small forward position. Many of them have never been exposed to the power forward position.

In order to select talents, Coach Tian Gang conducted a competitive selection internally.

In the end, three talented first-year players were found, and they planned to focus on training to supplement the inside line of Lingnan High School.

Ueyama Tsunayoshi, Irie Hiroki, Takebayashi Kouji, these three first-years, came into the sight of Coach Tianoka, and the amount of training given to them was much stronger than that of ordinary first-years.

Ueyama Tsunayoshi, a freshman, is 183cm tall and weighs 77kg. His original position is a small forward. He is good at driving for layups.

Don't look at it as just a buckle, this level is already quite good among high school students. Not everyone in this world has the physical fitness of Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede.

Hiroki Irie, a freshman, is 186cm tall and weighs 81kg. His original position was a small forward.

Koji Takebayashi, a freshman, is 185cm tall and weighs 80kg. His original position is also a small forward. He has a good body, good dribbling, good shooting, and good footwork. He is a relatively comprehensive player, but he is a bit introverted. People feel a little soft.

If the problem of soft playing can be corrected, Koji Takebayashi will be Coach Tianoka's most promising player, but his character has become a stumbling block for him to hit the starting lineup.

After Coach Tian Gang established the future development direction of the team, he began to direct the team to practice. However, compared with the past, Lingnan High School lacked several "starters" during the practice during the summer vacation.

Shinomiya Tianye seemed to be planning to train by himself, and he did not participate in the daily training of the Lingnan team.The sophomore Xian Daozhang was recruited by the youth training and went to the joint training.

Kenji Fujima and Hanagata also asked for leave, and it is said that they are going to inspect the university.

Coach Tian Gang felt that the affairs of these people were very important, so he approved them all.

This also led to the lack of the team's main players in the daily training of the summer team, which also greatly reduced the effectiveness of the team's training.Realizing this, Coach Tian Gang decisively changed the training method and began to formulate special training plans for the players.

Yoshio Fukuda practiced defense, cuts, layups, and shots.

Cross-country, grass planting and other people are training their physical fitness while training shooting, three-pointers, and passing and receiving skills.

As for other players, improve physical fitness, improve physical fitness, and practice basics.

The three players selected by coach Tian Gang are to cultivate the sense of rebounding, and to improve their physical fitness and practice their footwork under the basket.The entire Lingnan Arena is in full swing.

In the summer vacation after the national competition, almost all teams will have more or less lineup changes.

The most stable place in Kanagawa Prefecture is Hainan. Mu Shenyi, a third-year student, chose to stay in the team without retiring. Kazuma Takasago, who was a center forward, retired. The starting main center.

At the same time, a group of second-year players from Hainan also quickly filled some of the vacancies in the third-year. This old strong team in Kanagawa County has a strong background. Even though it had no results last year, it still recruited pretty good players.

Compared with Hainan and Lingnan, Xiangyang, a veteran team, has fallen into a situation of being out of touch since Fujima and Hanakata left.

Although the strength of the team is still strong, the whole team does not have a super ace who can fully integrate the team.

It is foreseeable that it will be difficult to see Xiangyang players in this year's autumn national sports and winter trials.

The old strong team has fallen into silence, and there are also excellent teams from Kanagawa County who have joined the ranks of competing for national supremacy.

Lvfeng High School, who missed this year's IH, announced to send players to participate in this year's autumn national sports player selection after the national competition. At the same time, they also announced to participate in the winter selection competition in the second half of the year.

For those who are not familiar with Lufeng, they don't know the strength of their team, but for the players of Xiangbei High School, the joining of Lufeng High School in the league means that he has one more opponent to deal with.

Moreover, since Lufeng High School lost to Xiangbei High School in the practice match, they once again used their school's "money" ability, deliberately went abroad, and recruited excellent young players at a high price to join the Lufeng High School basketball team.

Nowadays, Lufeng High School has started closed training, only in sports magazines, occasionally some reports of Lufeng High School appear.

Don't think about it, this is also the propaganda they made with their "money" ability.It's just that the reputation of this school is really limited. People who don't pay attention to private schools don't know it at all. Therefore, such important news is also buried in the passing time.

Just when all the high schools are starting to adjust and prepare for the autumn country after the school starts.

The basketball club of Xiangbei High School welcomed several "guests."

In the evening, the weather turned a little cooler, and the training of Xiangbei team members happened to enter the time period with the highest concentration.The players were sleepy in the morning, the weather was too hot at noon, and only in the evening when day and night alternated, the temperature was good and the players were at their hottest.

"Boom!!"

In the arena, there was the sound of a basketball dunking.Kiyota Nobunaga successfully received an assist from his teammates at the basket and directly scored with a one-handed dunk.

And as Kiyota Nobunaga scored a slam dunk, the cheers of the players watching the team from the sidelines also sounded in the arena in Xiangbei.

"Good job!!!"

"My uncle will definitely lead the team to victory today!"

The middle of the summer vacation is approaching, and the players in Xiangbei have been undergoing adaptive training for more than ten days.During this period of time, the growth rate of the players is quite fast. At least, Nobunaga Kiyota has established some tacit understanding with other players in terms of passing and receiving the ball.

Earlier, Nobunaga Kiyota trained with the top-ranked seniors in Xiangbei, and did not have teammates who adapted to the "low level". cooperated.

In basketball, it doesn't mean that the stronger you are, the more compatible you are with your teammates. In fact, sometimes players have to be backward compatible.

Take a guard as an example, the strength, height, and timing required to pass the ball to Jordan and the ball to your grandma are different.

Adaptation is sometimes more important than "strong".

"Tch, this wild monkey made a slam dunk!"

"I'm really stupid, I'm slow to take off!"

Kiyota Nobunaga's slam dunk was completed in front of Nango Koichiro. Nango, who lost the defense, scratched his hair angrily, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Hahaha!"

"How can a fool like you stop me?!"

"You're 100 years too early, Dye Monkey!"

"Hahaha!"

Kiyota Nobunaga, who successfully scored a slam dunk, looked happy, patted his chest proudly, and laughed.

"Damn! Don't get too carried away!"

Nango Koichiro shouted at Kiyota Nobunaga a little unconvinced.Just as Kiyota Nobunaga continued to provoke Nango Koichiro, a mocking voice came into the arena from the entrance of the arena.

"Ah-ah-"

"It's really sad! Wild monkeys, and dyed monkeys."

"That's right, with your ability, you can only practice in the team to pretend to be a master. I'm afraid it's not your turn to participate in higher-level competitions!"

A familiar and unflattering voice came from the door. Everyone in Xiangbei, who was training, heard the sound and looked towards the door of the arena. Even Jinguji Budo, who was standing on the sidelines as a referee, came towards the sound. The direction looked over.

At this time, by the door, a red-haired boy in a black sportswear was leaning against the wall, leaning against the door.Behind him, there is a boy with bangs wearing the same style of black sportswear, and he is also looking into the stadium at this moment.

"Sakuragi-san, it's Sakuragi-san! And Rukawa Kaede!"

"Red-haired monkey? Stinky fox!"

"Why are you two back?! Youth training is over?"

"No, it shouldn't be so fast, it's only been less than half a month, you two were kicked out of the team?!"

Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, Kiyota Nobunaga speculated with the greatest malice.

"Bastard! What stupid things are you talking about?!"

"It's nothing more than a stinky fox, how could he be kicked out today?!"

"I'm only in the youth training team today, and I'm already a starter!"

Yingmu Huadao retorted angrily. After hearing this, Kiyota Nobunaga murmured "impossible" first, and then said with disdain: "People like you can become starters. It seems that people with youth training It's nothing like that!"

"Fortunately I didn't go."

Kiyota Nobunaga spread his hands, although he didn't like Sakuragi or Qingxun in what he said, everyone could hear the sourness in his tone.

Sakuragi Hanamichi also heard that Kiyota Nobunaga was insincere, walked into the arena, came to the sidelines, pulled the two sides corners of the jacket with both hands, and showed the logo on the chest of the sportswear.

"See?! Wild monkey!"

"This is the standard of the national youth training team. Do you recognize this symbol?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

On the chest of Sakuragi Hanamichi sportswear, the words "Japan" are printed in white in English.Sakuragi, who was showing off the team uniform, naturally attracted envious voices from the Xiangbei players.

"." Seeing this scene, Kiyota Nobunaga could only turn his head bitterly, without any objection.

Not only him, Nanxiang and Kemei also looked at Sakuragi speechlessly, wondering why such an idiot could join the youth training list.

Standing on the sidelines, Jinguji Budou looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi who showed off his team uniform and laughed, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and asked Sakuragi with a smile:

"Huadao, the youth training is not over yet, why did you come back suddenly?"

"If you want to show off your team uniform in front of Qingtian and the others, I think your goal should have been achieved."

"It's really energetic."

When Yingmu Huadao heard Jinguji Budao's praise, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he boasted brazenly: "Of course!"

"I'm a national player - Yingmu Huadao!"

It's just a youth training invitation, and Sakuragi is already calling himself a national player.Coach Anxi looked at Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, and laughed hohohoho, expressing his joy.

Rukawa Kaede, who had been standing behind Sakuragi, couldn't listen anymore. He grabbed Sakuragi's head with one hand, and pulled Sakuragi away from his body. And coach Anxi said:

"Coach Anxi, we are here this time with the instructions of Coach Otani."

"Coach Otani hopes that our youth training team can have a practice match with Xiangbei!"
