Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Allowing the players to form teams freely, I have to say that this is a major breakthrough made by Coach Tian Gang and his coaching staff.

In previous years, the selection method of Autumn National Sports was quite simple, that is, let a team with the best performance in the county or the most prestigious coach in the county serve as the head coach of the representative team.

As for the players, they are often appointed by the head coach himself.

This kind of selection method will lead to a very serious problem, that is, whether the process of selecting players for the representative team is fair or not often depends on the integrity of the head coach.

The environment in Kanagawa County is not bad these years. In the past ten years, the head coaches have basically been the high-level coaches of Hainan High School. Players from other teams will be given corresponding opportunities.

As long as the strength is good enough, the high head coach will not have any opinions when selecting talents.

After coach Gaotou, after Lingnan High School won the national championship last year, coach Tian Gang also served as the head coach of Qiuzhi Guoti for a year.He was fairly fair in his selection.

But the situation in Kanagawa is not representative of all teams.

In other counties, coaches practice favoritism every year.It is considered "normal" to prefer the players of your own team when selecting talents, and even some courageous coaches directly marked the price of the Autumn National Sports team.

Similar things are not only in basketball, but also in other sports, such situations are not uncommon.

There is no way to avoid this kind of thing anywhere in the world.

As in Kanagawa County today, the situation of purely selecting players based on their strength, and giving all players the opportunity to participate in the selection, such a thing, looking at the whole country, is only here.

The progress of players' free team formation is actually not very smooth. What Coach Tian Gang and the others want is to let the players find suitable teammates.But the vast majority of people, when looking for teammates, still look for players according to "school" and "relationship".

It seems that someone has quickly formed a team, but the team's configuration is very messy.

After Budao and Shinomiya Tano confirmed the members of their team, they sat on the sidelines and watched others form a team.Budo even discovered that there was a team that didn't have a single player inside
This kind of chaos was also noticed by Coach Tian Gang, but he didn't remind those players.

Before, he had made it very clear that since he chose to form a team like this, the corresponding consequences must be borne by the players themselves!

Anyway, the 12 players he wants, as long as they are the best of them!
Therefore, when Coach Tian Gang noticed that Jinguji Budao and Shinomiya Tianye had formed a team, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

After nearly two hours, 215 players finally completed the formation of all teams.

And the round robin match between teams has also officially started.

Jinguji Budao and the others formed the team the fastest. They registered their member information with Coach Tian Gang early on, so the first opportunity to challenge was of course given to Jinguji Budao and the others.

"All team formation is declared complete."

"The No. 1 team that completed the formation of the team first, you have the priority to challenge your opponent and use the court."

"Have you decided what team you want to challenge?"

When the members of all teams were established, the coaching staff set up a large whiteboard on the sidelines, on which were written the information of all the teams.

Jinguji Budo's team is called the No. 1 team, not because their team is the strongest, but because they are formed the fastest.

When Coach Tian Gang asked these words, Shinomiya Tianye was prepared, stepped forward and walked out of the team, and replied to Coach Tian Gang:
"There are no opponents that particularly attract our attention, but there are a few players that we want to get in our team no matter what."

"What we want to challenge is the No. [-] team."

While speaking, Shinomiya Tianye turned his head to look at Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others.

The No. [-] team in his mouth is the old Xiangbei headed by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.

The six members are Takenori Akagi, Ryota Miyagi, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, Nobunaga Kiyota, and Ichiro Katsumi.

As for Nango Koichiro and Kuratani Sora, they were excluded by them. There is no way, there are only a few places in the first round of the team, and it is impossible to take care of all the players.

Nango Koichiro and Kuratani Sora, who were abandoned by the team, were called over by Uozumi, Hanagata, and Fujima who were also abandoned. In addition to the five of them, there was another player who was Shenmune Ichiro from Hainan!
Budo's team does not lack players with the ball. What they lack is a power forward who can give the team enough support at the basket.

Therefore, their goal is actually to focus on Yingmu Huadao!

"Number Three?"

"Ok!"

"The challenged team has no right to refuse!"

"Then everyone, go to the sidelines and make the venue empty."

"The two sides in the first game are the No. [-] team and the No. [-] team."

"Team No. [-] takes this opportunity to start looking for your opponents!"

After confirming the two sides of the match, Coach Tian Gang began to clear the field.Signal to all other players to go to the sidelines.

As the players on the field left, only the players from both sides of the match remained on the field.

Sakuragi Hanamichi stood in the middle of the court, looked at Jinguji Budao and the others opposite, clenched his fists, and then shouted loudly to the players: "Let them see how powerful we are!"

Yingmu Huadao's fighting spirit is high, and what he wants to do the most after being "betrayed" by Jinguji Budou is to defeat Jinguji Budou and his team, and then take Jinguji Budou back from the opponent's hands. Then he said to Jinguji Budo: "Our Xiangbei is the strongest!"

Emotions can be contagious. Now all the players in Xiangbei are in the same mood as Sakuragi now, and they all have high fighting spirit.

"How do we divide it?"

On the other side of the stadium, Shinomiya Tianye looked at Yingmu Hanamichi and others with a fighting spirit, and said to the players around him with a chuckle.

"I don't care how you arrange it, I'm going to play."

"Sakuragi, I want to beat him myself!"

Jinguji Budou looked at the players on the court with a smile, glanced at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and said.

Shinomiya Tianye nodded slightly when he heard the words, he could understand Budo's thoughts, if he was Jinguji Budo, he would do the same.

"In this case, then I won't play, and you guys can play."

"Mike and I both belong to the kind of strong ball holders, the last one is fine."

"In this case."

"Morishige Hiroshi, you are the center, Amu point guard, Xiandao you play points, let Budou play the power forward and Sakuragi Hanamichi."

"Mike, you play small forward."

Shinomiya put himself off the court and did not compete with other players for a chance to play.

In this regard, the rest of the players have no objection, after all, we are all basketball players, how can they be unhappy when they have the ball?No player wants to be a fountain keeper.

Soon, everyone in Xiangbei on the opposite side also quickly selected the players to play.

The center is Takenori Akagi, the power forward is Hanamichi Sakuragi, the point guard is Ryota Miyagi, Nobunaga Kiyota is the point guard, and Kaede Rukawa is the small forward.

As a substitute, Kemei Ichiro was temporarily placed off the court.

The discussion within the Xiangbei team is that if the defense of the back line is really weak, then Katsumi Ichiro will be replaced by Miyagi Ryota, and the height of the team will be raised to strengthen the team's defense.

Several people have been teammates for such a long time, and everyone knows what shortcomings the team will have.

Soon, the assistant coach who acted as the referee walked into the court with a basketball in his hand.

The coaches attach great importance to the performance of the game. The number of referees is supermodel. In a game, there are four line referees on both sides and two referees in the middle. There are six referees in total.

And other coaches are also scattered in various positions outside the stadium, paying attention to the game in the stadium.

In fact, there is one thing that coach Tian Gang did not tell the players.

When all the players are playing, the coaches will actually score the players in private. Talented players will be marked by the coaches and either given to the coaching staff of the youth training, or they will be digested by themselves in college.

The selection of Autumn National Sports is a rare opportunity for all players!
"Beep—" As the players settled down in the middle circle, the referee also blew his whistle, and then threw the ball directly into the air.

Following Takenori Akagi's roar, two huge figures on the center line quickly lifted into the air and slapped the basketball in the air.

"Snapped!!!"

Akagi Takenori was full of energy, and he grasped the timing very well. He took the lead in slapping the basketball and slapping the ball towards his half court.

Soon, the basketball fell into the hands of Miyagi Ryota in the backcourt, and Miyagi Ryota quickly dribbled the ball forward.

In martial arts, they use man-to-man defense. After all, it’s simple, isn’t it?
As Miyagi Ryota dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Mu Shenyi quickly moved towards Miyagi Ryota.Without the slightest pause, the moment Mu Shen stepped forward, Miyagi Ryota immediately passed the ball to the side, and directly gave it to Kiyota Nobunaga.

Facing Sendo's defense, Nobunaga Kiyota made a simple tentative step after taking the ball, and then chose to break through by dropping the ball himself.

Xiandao thought that the opponent would pass the ball, but he didn't expect Kiyota to hit it himself.One didn't pay attention, and was directly drilled by Qingtian, who was relatively short in stature.

"This kid. The movement of breaking through is really clean!"

"And I don't know if it's my illusion, this kid seems to be faster?"

Xiandao was surprised, and quickly turned around to chase, but when he was about to catch up with Kiyota Nobunaga, Kiyota seemed to be aware of it, and directly hit the basketball in his hand forward without looking behind him.

It was given to Takenori Akagi, who was in the basket at this time.

Kiyota didn't pause for a moment to shoot the basketball, and continued to rush towards the inside. Sendo subconsciously glanced at Akagi, and in such a short gap, Akagi Takenori quickly gave the ball to Kiyota Nobunaga who cut into the inside.

The latter directly passed through Mori Shigekuro's defensive line, directly hit the basket, and then jumped up, grabbing the basketball and preparing for a dunk.

"Master, let's take a ball first!"

Kiyota Nobunaga looked at the basket in front of him, with an excited smile on his face.However, in the next second, Kiyota Nobunaga's smile froze on his face, and from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed a figure jumping up from his side.

"what?!"

"Senior Jinguji?!"

Tilting his head slightly, Kiyota Nobunaga saw who the person beside him was.

Jinguji Budao, Kiyota seems to have forgotten that Jinguji Budao is in charge of the power forward position in this game!
Jinguji Budou, who jumped high, stretched out his hand and patted the basketball in Kiyota Nobunaga's hand, without showing any affection to Kiyota.

However, when Budo was about to complete the block, Kiyota Nobunaga actually received the ball and switched the ball to his left hand, while his right hand directly blocked Budo's arm as a ball protector.

Immediately after a layup, the ball was actually put into the basket in front of Jinguji Budao.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, all the players watching the ball looked at Nobunaga Kiyota in astonishment. They couldn't believe that Nobunaga Kiyota managed to score the ball under the defense of Budo Jinguji.

"Yo Xi!!!"

After landing, Kiyota Nobunaga hammered his chest with both hands, and roared excitedly.

He raised his hand and pointed at Jinguji Budao, and said loudly: "Don't underestimate me! Senior Jinguji!"

"My uncle is always growing up!"

Jinguji Budo looked at Nobunaga Kiyota with a bit of astonishment at the moment, not to mention other players watching the game, even he, a senior from the same school as Nobunaga Kiyota, did not expect Nobunaga Kiyota to be able to play against him Scored the ball in front of him.

Changing hands for the layup, as well as the ball protector during the layup, all told Budou that Kiyota Nobunaga is very different from before.

Layup protector.

This thing that is ignored by most people is an important skill for whether a player can score the ball.

Often "Ye Gu Chan" will ignore such small details. If the players who come out of college basketball do not meet a good coach, there is no way to develop such a good habit.

When training in Xiangbei before, Coach Anxi actually didn't remind much of this matter. Before Budo became the captain, he paid more attention to his own training.After becoming the captain, the team's training is also based on individual training, and there is no time to dig out the details for each player.

But Kiyota Nobunaga has made huge progress compared to before!
"not bad!"

The astonishment on Jinguji Budao's face dissipated, and he praised him sincerely.

At the same time, Budo also turned his attention to the high-level coach on the sidelines. Kiyota Nobunaga's growth should be inseparable from the high-level coach's help.

"but."

"Qingtian, it's not okay to be proud and complacent just like this."

"I hope you can show me more abilities!"

"Only in this way can you have such a small chance of victory!"

As he said that, Bu Dao made a gesture of losing the Korean market.
