The team members of Takeishi Middle School happily hugged each other and enjoyed the joy of victory.
In the auditorium, the spectators who watched the game left the stadium without interest. Many spectators even cursed when they left. Some of them stayed in the stadium angrily and cursed at the people of Dongda University. He kept shouting "Baga" in his mouth.
Most of the spectators are local residents of Tokyo. They come to watch football not only as a hobby, but also to support local teams.
However, the performance of the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University really disappointed them. The strength they had during the county competition could not be seen at all in this game. The audience is not fools either. Shinomiya Tano, who was almost incomprehensible in the first half, could not be seen in the second half. He knew with his buttocks that there was an internal problem at the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to Tokyo University.
The fans don't care about the reason for their loss. They only know that the coach of Todai Affiliated No. 1 Middle School abandoned Shinomiya No., causing the team to lose. Therefore, their anger was also directed at the Todai players who were still on the court at this time. And on the coach.
Different from the enthusiasm on Takeishi's side, the players on Dongda High School's side were scolded and a little autistic. Their coach hurriedly led the players to pack their things, even lining up after the game and not going through the routine greetings and farewells. , followed the player tunnel on their side and left the stadium in a hurry.
The format of the national competition is a knockout round, and the schedule is back-to-back battles. Takeishi Middle School, which ended the game that day, did not stay in the arena. Coach Masayoshi Anzai took the players out of the arena after the game and got on the bus back to the hotel.
On the bus, Masayoshi Anzai did not waste time. He took advantage of this moment to review today's game for the team members.
"While we have some free time, let's review today's game."
"Although we won the game, to be honest, the win was not pretty, and during the game, our team had many problems exposed."
"But overall we played well today, and every player deserves praise."
Although their Takeishi Middle School eventually won the game, the game was quite difficult in the first half, and through the first half of the game, Anzai Masayoshi still discovered some problems with the team. As for the second half of the game, there is no value in reviewing it at all.
"Before the review, I hope you can clarify your position and have a clear understanding of your own strength."
"Although we have made it to the second round of the national competition, our next opponents will only become more and more difficult to deal with."
"Let's talk about your problems in the first half. In fact, in the first half, we had many opportunities to widen the point difference, but you didn't seize it."
"..."
The Wushi Middle School bus was driving on a wet road. The summer rain came and went quickly, but the sky was still gray and there was no sign of clearing up.
Anzai Masayoshi's voice echoed in the carriage, and every Wushi team member focused on Anzai Masayoshi and listened quietly to Anzai Masayoshi's lectures.
Even Jinguji Martial Arts was listening attentively at this time. Although he has many years of basketball experience, in the final analysis, he can only be regarded as someone who has trained for several years. Watch a few more games. Just basketball enthusiasts on the court.
He also needs to listen to and learn more about former national players like Masayoshi Anzai.
After a review, the gains in martial arts are not small.
After everyone from Takeishi Middle School arrived at the hotel, Masayoshi Anzai did not let the team members go to rest. Instead, he called everyone into a room and began to arrange the play style for tomorrow's game.
"The advantages of our Takeishi Middle School are very outstanding. The backcourt combination of Mitsui and Takedo is top-notch even if you look at the country. I have no doubt about this."
"It's just that our team also has many problems. We don't have the ability to break formations. We rely mostly on shooting from the back line to score. We don't have enough rebounding. These are all hidden dangers for the team."
"None of our opponents have encountered a strong center before. Once they do, it will be a fatal blow to a team like ours."
"So before encountering a strong front line, we need to practice our ability to break formations on the offensive end."
"Jinguji Budo, in tomorrow's game, I want you to reduce your mid-range shots and try to finish with breakthrough layups."
"You will be the key to our next game. If you don't have the ability to break the formation, once we encounter a strong striker, the team will become quite passive."
In the hotel room, Takeshi's team members were scattered on the bed, on the floor, or leaning against the wall, listening to Anxi Masayoshi's arrangements. At this time, Budo was sitting cross-legged on the bed with Hisashi Mitsui. When the coach suddenly called on him, Budo couldn't help but become confused.
He was obviously scoring good shots, why did he suddenly change his style of play? Compared to breakthroughs, martial arts prefer to end with projections, which are not only easy but also elegant. Among the players that Martial Arts liked most in the past, the most beautiful ones were all gorgeous shots.
"Coach, why don't you continue to use shooting as a finishing method? During this period of training, I mainly practiced shooting and breaking through with the ball. I didn't train much."
Wu Dao knows what level he is at. In order to quickly survive in the team during these times, Wu Dao devotes a lot of time to shooting training. The basic training of dribbling can only ensure that Wu Dao holds the ball and advances without making mistakes. As for breakthroughs with the ball , it is not enough as the main offensive method for the time being.
"It doesn't matter if you don't train enough. Whether it's breakthrough or shooting, practice alone is not enough. Actual combat is the best training ground."
"I have studied that the two teams in the other group with us, no matter which team advances, will not pose a threat to us Takeshi. Take this opportunity to hone your breakthrough skills."
"You can't lead a team by shooting."
"Once the team encounters a strong forward player, the team needs you to break through and create opportunities. It doesn't matter if you can't score. You need to seduce the opponent's defense and guide the opponent to foul."
"Although Mitsui Hisashi can do this, you know that you have advantages that Mitsui Hisashi doesn't have!"
Anzai's eyes looked back and forth between Mitsui Hisashi and Budao, and then he said to Budao.
"What are the advantages that Xiaosan doesn't have?" Wu Dao is not a fool. Of course he knows what advantages he has, such as height. There is no talent in basketball that is more important than height.
It is also a breakthrough. The threat posed by a 170cm player's breakthrough is completely different from the threat posed by a 185cm player.
Wu Dao, who understood this, nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was next to Budo, not only did not feel unhappy because his strategic position in the team had declined, but instead happily slapped Budo on the back and said happily:
"Martial arts, you have to work hard! The coach is giving you a chance to train you!"
"You must work hard and don't let your hair slip!"
"But it doesn't matter if you drop the ball. As long as I'm here, no matter how many goals you miss, I can get them back!"
Mitsui Hisashi's face was filled with a confident smile, and Takeishi's other senior players also looked at the martial arts with smiles on their faces, and they were all happy for the martial arts.
Although other first-year students are envious of martial arts, they are not jealous. They know that only by training hard and making themselves stronger can they have a chance to stand out and become the main candidate.
The team atmosphere at Takeishi Middle School is quite harmonious.
The short meeting on tactical arrangement did not end until noon. After lunch, everyone in Takeshi had nothing to do. Some rested in the room, and some released their energy in the hotel gym. Anzai Masayoshi gave the team members full freedom. Of course, the premise is Unable to leave the hotel.
...
At night, the night wind blew gently, and fine raindrops drifted down from the sky, weaving a thin rain curtain.
In a house in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Shinomiya's house welcomed a guest.
"Hello, is this Shinomiya's home?"
"I am the head coach of the basketball team of Yokota Private Middle School in Kanagawa Prefecture. My name is Ise Nimura."
