Ryonan's dual-track era

Fukuda had just experienced a miserable game, he was beaten to a pulp by Kitano Taku.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, Kitano Taku's sarcasm and coach Tanaka's scolding kept echoing in his ears.

"Am I so useless?"

"I want to gain everyone's appreciation!"

"I'm always trash!"

"I want to be the pillar of the team!"...

Futian's mind was already in a mess.

But just when he was confused, Kitano Taku stretched out his hand in front of him. Futian was stunned, then looked up and saw Kitano Taku's gentle smile again.

Futian reached out his hand blankly and held Kitano Taku's hand, and then was pulled up

"Futian, you actually played very well~" Kitano Taku said sincerely:"You are improving very fast"

"Even in our game just now, you were making rapid progress!"

Fukuda was a little overwhelmed by Kitano Taku's transformation.

Kitano Taku chuckled,"Let me ask you a question, what do you think of Coach Tanoka?"

"Or is he a good coach?"

Futian frowned slightly. He didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know why Kitano Taku asked this.

"Futian, you joined the basketball team in junior high school, right? Kitano Taku continued to ask

"Um..."Futian finally spoke up. He did start playing basketball in junior high school. At that time, he and Kazuo Kamiso were on the same team.

"In fact, I joined the team in junior high school. Kitano Taku simply sat on the ground and said,"After I joined the team, everyone was not optimistic about me."

"Even the coach, you feel the same way, right?"

Futian did not respond, but many past events came to his mind. He joined the team in the second year of junior high school, but he did not play a single game until he graduated from junior high school. He did not even play in the warm-up match.

"I am a nobody in the team. The coach doesn't care about me. I can only practice on my own...."

"I thought at the time, it would be great if the coach could teach me how to play basketball."

"Even if you scold me a few times, it's better than not talking to me!"

Kitano Taku said this, and took a sneak peek very secretly. Sure enough, Fukuda's expression changed at this time.

"There is a way!"

Kitano Taku was delighted, and he struck while the iron was hot and said:"Fukuda, if you were an ordinary player, there would be absolutely no need for me to play a game with you."

"The same is true for Coach Tiangang. Although he scolds you, he is actually teaching you seriously."

"Don't you realize that you are making rapid progress now? This is why Coach Tanoka has been pushing you all the time."

Fukuda looked at Kitano Taku in silence. Kitano Taku blinked, and he couldn't guess what Fukuda was thinking.

Just when Kitano Taku wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, Fukuda finally spoke.

He took the basketball and suddenly did a crotch dribble, then he stared at Kitano Taku and asked,"Why can't my crotch dribble fool people?"

"Well..."Kitano Taku couldn't keep up with Futian's train of thought. He coughed hard and said,"Crotch..."...Dribbling?!"

Fukuda nodded,"I saw you use this technique many times in training, and the opponent would be fooled, but I couldn't get past the opponent when I used it."

Kitano Taku thought about it and realized that when the two of them played against each other just now, Fukuda did use the technique of dribbling between the legs.

However, Kitano Taku didn't move at all at that time, because Fukuda's dribbling between the legs was just a formality, without any threat at all, it was just an ineffective dribble.

"The reason you can't get past people is that your dribbling between the legs is not offensive."Kitano explained to Fukuda:"From a one-on-one perspective, your dribbling is for offense."

"The dribbling attack should move towards the basket, which is offensive."

Kitano Takumi dribbled the ball like Futian did just now,"Your dribbling in place is useless except for showing off."

Futian's eyes widened. If it weren't for Kitano Takumi's sharp eyes, he would not have noticed it at all.

"No matter what kind of dribbling, there are three things to do. The first is to attack the defender's weak side, the second is to move towards the basket, and the third is to have a purpose."

"If you do these three things well, your breakthrough ability will be enhanced."

Kitano Taku didn't keep anything to himself. He gave Fukuda everything he knew without reservation.

Fukuda pondered for a moment, then tried a few more times. He seemed to be getting the hang of it.

""Why are you helping me like this?" Fukuda asked while dribbling the ball.

Kitano Taku said at the right time:"Coach Takeoka thinks highly of you, so he is strict with you. If you misunderstand him for this, I think it will be a loss for Coach Takeoka and Ryonan."

Fukuda pursed his lips,"I still want to continue one-on-one with you, okay?"

Kitano Taku said jokingly,"Why do you still want to be abused?"

Fukuda's eyes were firm,"I will definitely defeat you in the future!"

Kitano Taku opened his arms and took a protective posture,"Come on, Fukuda! I'm not waterproof!"

""Good!" Fukuda shouted and rushed towards Kitano Taku.

Kitano Taku smiled. He could clearly feel that Fukuda was in a different state. The disappointment in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a competitive light.

Fukuda was a 16-year-old boy. He just wanted to be praised!

And Kitano Taku's words made him feel that Kitano Taku had recognized his talent, which was actually more important than knowing Coach Tiangang's original intention.

The two teenagers were sweating in the silent basketball hall. Neither of them noticed that there was a person standing outside the basketball hall.

And this person turned out to be Coach Tiangang.

He came to the basketball hall almost at the same time as Fukuda. He witnessed the whole duel between Kitano Taku and Fukuda. He also heard Kitano Taku's words.
