Mitsui Hisashi's accidental injury did not affect the Shohoku High School basketball team's training plan for the new semester. Of course, this so-called training plan was just a training plan casually formulated by Mitsuyoshi Anzai in his spare time.
As a weak team in the county, Xiangbei High School's training intensity is quite low. Most of the players participating in the training only regard basketball as an after-school pastime. As for achieving results and dominating the country, these things are unrealistic for ordinary players.
Although Mitsui Hisashi's foot injury is not serious, after putting on a plaster, Mitsui Hisashi cannot participate in team training with the team. Usually when the team is training, Mitsui Hisashi sits on the side of the court, tapping the basketball in his hands in boredom. , watching the players train.
It is worth mentioning that Takenori Akagi’s physical condition seems to have given coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai a little interest in coaching. In the previous training at Shohoku High School, Mitsuyoshi Anzai was more likely to watch from the sidelines of the court. Most of the time Nor will he instruct the team members on what to do.
However, since Takenori Akagi joined the team, Mitsuyoshi Anzai has become more and more interested in Takenori Akagi. After the team training, Mitsuyoshi Anzai called Takenori Akagi to him and spoke softly. Talking to Takenori Akagi about the problems Akagi had during training.
Although Mitsuyoshi Anzai obviously has a preference for Akagi, that's all. He will not spare his free time to stay alone to guide Akagi.
As for Mitsui Hisashi, Anzai Mitsuyoshi simply comforted him after learning about Mitsui Hisashi's injury. After that, during every training session, Anzai Mitsuyoshi just asked Mitsui Hisashi to sit next to him and watch the team members train together. There was actually not much communication between the coach and the players, and coach Anzai did not give Mitsui Hisashi special care.
However, due to the injury, Hisashi Mitsui's mind became somewhat more sensitive. During training, Hisashi Mitsui often saw Takenori Akagi getting guidance from coach Anzai, but he could only sit on the sidelines. Mitsui Hisashi, who was full of admiration for Anzai Mitsuyoshi, at this moment, felt somewhat jealous of Akagi in his heart.
This also makes Hisashi Mitsui more eager and urgent to play.
Hisashi Mitsui eagerly hopes to show his strength in front of coach Anxi, and eagerly hopes that he can be favored by coach Anxi.
In such a mood, after Mitsui Shou endured it for four weeks, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After four weeks of training, Mitsui Hisagi can no longer feel the pain in his knees, and all the plasters on his legs have been removed, and Mitsui Hisashi can walk normally.
However, during the re-examination, the doctor saw from the film that Mitsui Hisashi's injury had not fully recovered, and suggested that Mitsui Hisashi continue to recuperate for a few weeks to allow the injury to completely heal before training. But at this time, how could Mitsui Hisashi still be patient?
Therefore, during training on Friday, Mitsui Hisashi appeared on the court and trained with his teammates.
On the day Mitsui Hisashi was injured and went to the hospital, coach Anzai did not accompany him. Regarding Mitsui Hisashi's injury, coach Anzai only learned from Chiba Oishi's mouth. The news he knew was that Mitsui Hisashi's injury was not serious and he only needed to recuperate for a period of time. As for how long he would need to recuperate, Anxi Mitsuyoshi didn't know.
Therefore, when Mitsui Hisashi came to Anzai Mitsuyoshi and said that he had recovered and wanted to participate in training, Anzai Mitsuyoshi did not think otherwise and happily included Mitsui Hisashi into the training team.
The weekly training at Xiangbei High School is regular and can be simply divided into three stages. Monday's training is generally physical training, and Tuesday to Thursday is basic training such as layups, passing and receiving, running positions, etc. As for Friday, it is the team's five-on-five confrontation training. As for the weekends, there are no training tasks.
The basketball team in Xiangbei practices once a day, that is, after school. There are usually no training tasks at other times. In terms of training intensity alone, the training intensity of Shohoku High School is not even as high as that of Takeishi Middle School, which practices three times a day. Among all the basketball teams in Kanagawa Prefecture, Shohoku's training volume is also the lowest.
Mitsui Hisashi actually has this idea in mind. He feels that the training volume at Shohoku High School is not very low. His knees can no longer feel pain, so he feels that it is okay to participate in a low-intensity team practice match like Shohoku. nothing.
However, destiny also has inertia. Even though Mitsui Hisaru's junior high school career has undergone tremendous changes due to the existence of martial arts, he still cannot avoid the arrangement of fate.
A secondary contusion of the knee joint. Mitsui Hisashi who participated in the training match had a slight deviation in his landing posture after shooting a shot. This deviation directly caused Mitsui Hisashi to lose his center of gravity and twist his foot. When he fell, Mitsui Hisamoto The knee that had not yet healed came into close contact with the floor again.
But this time, Mitsui Hisashi was not so lucky.
Mitsui Hisashi was sent to the hospital again. This time his injury required 3-6 months to recover. Such a long period of recuperation also meant that Hisashi Mitsui completely missed the prefectural trials in the summer.
By the time Jinguji Budo learned about Mitsui Hisashi's injury, it was already several months later.
July 1st.
The basketball hall of Kanagawa Prefectural Stadium was buzzing with people, and the surrounding grandstands were filled with spectators who came to watch the game. Today is a rest day, and it happens to be the day when the county competition starts, so the usually deserted basketball hall becomes extremely lively on this day.
Jinguji Budo arrived at the arena early and occupied a front-row seat. He casually placed his backpack at his feet, and then took out a teacup filled with wolfberry and a large bag of handbags. Shred the beef. He adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, half lying on the chair, and watched the players of the two teams gathering in the stadium.
The free martial artist came specifically to watch Shohoku's match today. In order to cheer for his mistress, Jinguji Budō didn't even go to watch Rukawa Kaede's match. In the eyes of martial arts, Mitsui Hisashi's status is always slightly higher than Rukawa Kaede.
"Hey, why is there no mistress in Xiangbei's team?"
"Have you pooped?"
Jinguji Budo casually opened the package of shredded beef, took a piece of dried meat and chewed it in his mouth. At the same time, he scanned the court back and forth. Strangely, Budo did not find Mitsui Hisashi among the Xianghoku High School team. .
Shohoku High School's opponent today is Awada High School, which is not very famous, but in previous high school competitions, it has often entered the top 16 teams. Compared to the fishy Shohoku, Awata is already considered to be on top. There is a big mountain in front of Xiangbei.
Budo's attention has never paid attention to the players of Awada High School. He has been looking for Mitsui Hisashi in the Shohoku team, but unfortunately, Budo did not find Mitsui Hisashi in the Shohoku team.
Until after the warm-up period, when the starting players of the two teams stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball, Budo still saw no trace of Hisashi Mitsui.
"It's already about to jump the ball, but there is still no sign of the mistress. What is this guy doing?"
"You fell into the toilet and can't get up?"
Wu Dao scratched his head, feeling strange, but he didn't take it to heart. He ate, drank tea, and watched the game.
Among the starting players of Shohoku High School, Budo only knew two people. One was Chiba Oishi who went out of Takeishi Middle School, and the other was Takenori Akagi. The remaining three Xiangbei first-time martial artists did not know each other. Takenori Akagi wears the red No. 10 jersey, while Chiba Oishi wears the red No. 11 jersey.
Both of them are very tall and can be seen at a glance when standing in the crowd. The jumper for Shohoku was Takenori Akagi, standing in the center of the center circle, a head taller than the opponent's center.
"Did the mistress not play? Was it because of some delay, or did Coach Anzai not arrange for Hisashi Mitsui to play?"
"With these players, can Shohoku win Awata?"
Budao looked at the starting players in Shohoku, gave up searching for Mitsui Hisashi, and started watching the game. He is also quite curious about the current combat effectiveness of Xiangbei High School.
Among the players standing on the court in Shohoku now, several of them are teammates who played together after entering high school in martial arts, such as Oishi Chiba and Takenori Akagi, both first-year newcomers. After entering high school in martial arts, these players The two of them are only sophomores in high school.
Soon, the referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.
The centers of the two teams jumped the ball. Takenori Akagi, who had the absolute height advantage, easily grabbed the basketball before his opponent. After Shohoku's No. 7 got the basketball, he directed the team to attack, while he carried the ball towards the frontcourt. Advance quickly.
Awada adopted a man-to-man tactic. After Akagi and Chiba Oishi entered the inside, Awada's two defenders quickly entered the inside. For a time, the entire inside became quite crowded.
Although center Awada who was guarding Takenori Akagi was much shorter than Akagi, his opponent had much more basketball experience than Akagi. Although he was disadvantaged in height, the opponent cleverly adopted a forward defense method and did not fool around with Takenori Akagi. Wrestling on the blue line, but using his own pace, constantly changing positions, blocking Akagi, and not giving Akagi a chance to catch the ball.
On the other hand, Akagi, when facing the opponent's defense, will only use force to try to push away the opponent and create space for himself to catch the ball.
"Gorilla was really not very good at playing basketball when he was a freshman in high school! Although he has been playing since elementary school, it can be seen that he has not received formal and strict basketball training, and his foundation is very poor."
Mitsui Hisashi didn't play, so Budo focused on Chiba Oishi and Takenori Akagi. Seeing Akagi's clumsiness when getting stuck, Budo couldn't help but shook his head, feeling a little irritated.
Xiangbei's No. 7 didn't find a chance to pass the ball to the inside, so he immediately settled down and started playing singles on his own. I don’t know whether it was because of nervousness or poor foundation. When Xiangbei No. 7 was dribbling for a breakthrough, he dribbled the ball on his instep, and the basketball rolled directly out of bounds.
"..."
"Ho ho ho... ho ho ho!"
Wu Dao looked at the scene happening on the field at this time. After a brief moment of surprise, he couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands and laughed like a goose.
In the transition between offense and defense, Awada High School's attack was much smoother than that of Shohoku. After several rounds of transmission, Awada High School's small forward scored a mid-range shot, successfully scoring Awada's first two points after the opening game.
And his two points officially kicked off the game.
Shohoku High School is very weak. Even if Takenori Akagi and Chiba Oishi are on the court at this time, Shohoku High School is still very weak. This weakness is especially obvious on the back line.
Shohoku High School's offense was not smooth. Shohoku's No. 7 was a little unsure of the ball under the defense of Awada High School and stumbled forward. The poor back line also led to the entire team's offensive connection being unsmooth and the scoring efficiency being very low.
On the defensive end, Shohoku High School's ability to protect the frame is pretty good, and they often score rebounds. Although Akagi and Chiba Oishi don't deal with each other, they are very focused when defending. Therefore, although Shohoku's scoring efficiency is low, But he was not pulled away by Awata too much.
Eleven minutes into the first half, Xiangbei trailed by seven points at 14:21. Seeing that the score could not be opened, Awata's coach called a timeout and rearranged his tactics.
After returning from the timeout, Awada High School's playing style has undergone some small changes. The most important thing is in defense. Awada High School has shrunk the internal defense line. The number of players defending Akagi and Chiba Oishi suddenly changed from two to Four.
Awada High School directly removed the long-distance defense line, and allowed Shohoku to shoot three-pointers at will without even guarding them.
Such a strange defensive formation was surprisingly effective against Shohoku. Within two minutes of the timeout, Awada High School directly beat Shohoku to a 7-0 climax, directly widening the point difference between the two teams to 14 points.
Coach Anzai, who was sitting off the court, couldn't sit still anymore. He called a timeout and began to arrange tactics for the Xiangbei players. Budo didn't know what tactics Coach Anzai had arranged for Shohoku. He only knew that after returning from the timeout, Shohoku High School's offense was still unable to open up, and the score difference continued to widen.
Before the first half was over, the score difference between the two teams exceeded twenty points.
"emmmm..." At this point in the game, Budao no longer had the idea of continuing to watch the game. Xiangbei's back line was too stretched, and those defenders were so weak that they couldn't even pass the ball to Akagi.
Looking at the score difference between the two teams, Wu Dao no longer had the interest to continue watching the game.
"The mistress didn't show up. Did something happen?"
"Could it be that....."
Budo packed up his things and was about to leave the field, but when he thought that Mitsui Hisashi was not seen in this game, an ominous premonition arose in his heart for no reason.
His eyes subconsciously scanned the surrounding stands, looking for Mitsui Shou's figure.
"I hope it's not what I thought."
The more afraid of something, the more it will come. When Wu Dao's eyes swept across the northern stands, Wu Dao saw a familiar figure on the top of the stand. The man was holding a cane, although Wu Dao was far away and could not see the other person's expression. , but from the low pressure emanating from the other party, Martial Arts can feel the loneliness of the other party at this time.
"The mistress...is injured?!"
Budo found Hisashi Mitsui, but not on the court, but in the stands. Looking at Mitsui Hisa who was carrying a strangely long arm, Budo quickly packed his things, picked up his bag and walked towards Mitsui Hisa.
...
In the stands, Hisashi Mitsui stood in front of the railing and watched the Xiangbei match in the stadium. His handsome face was full of loneliness. After watching for a long time, Hisashi Mitsui lowered his head silently, turned around with a cane, and prepared to leave from the passage.
"Are you so ashamed that you want to run away?"
"Mistress!"
"Seeing your teammates fighting hard, you feel your own incompetence, so are you going to run away?"
