Regular and peaceful days often pass very quickly. In the blink of an eye, April has quietly left, and May has come to people's side unknowingly.
By the middle of the semester, the academic pressure of high school students began to gradually increase, and the teacher's lecture rhythm also began to become tight during class.
The training intensity of various sports clubs in the school also began to increase sharply at the beginning of the month. Almost all clubs have begun preparing for the upcoming county competition trials.
As for the basketball team in Xiangbei, high-intensity training has been maintained for quite some time.
"Yasuda, if you dribble the ball faster, your players will already be in the frontcourt, and your defender is still in the backcourt!"
"Everyone, listen, the trials for the county competition are about to start in less than a month."
"I'll make good adjustments to your training attitude! If you don't meet the requirements, forget about playing in the game. I won't let you even go to the stadium!"
In the basketball hall, the players from Xiangbei were divided into two teams and were practicing for the first time in a long time. Jinguji Budo picked up his old job and became the referee of this game. As the captain, Hisashi Mitsui stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players on the court.
Coach Anzai did not come to the venue on time for the basketball team's training today. I heard from Hisashi Mitsui that coach Anzai took Ayako to the organizing committee to draw lots. Before this evening, their Xiangbei High School's grouping in the next selection competition and appearance The order will be determined.
During the period when coach Anzai was away, Hisashi Mitsui was the coach of Shohoku.
The coaching attitudes or coaching methods of Hisashi Mitsui and Coach Anzai are completely different. On the court, Hisashi Mitsui is an excellent leader who can calm the emotions of his players, but when he is a coach off the court, this guy becomes a creator of negative emotions.
Those who are playing on the court, such as first-year players like Yasuda Yasharu, have been criticized by him for countless times. His harsh attitude is no different from when Coach Anzai was young.
Yasuharu Yasuda, who had been trained by Mitsui Kotobuki, dribbled the ball much faster. After entering the frontcourt, he quickly passed the ball to Miyagi on the side. Miyagi Ryota received the ball and made a fake move to deceive the ball. The defender's center of gravity quickly broke through, and then he stopped for a jump shot in the mid-range.
"Uh-huh!"
After nearly a month of special training, Miyagi's shooting improved more or less, and the basketball hit the net.
After scoring the goal, Miyagi glanced at Budao on the sidelines, clenched his fists, and celebrated for himself. Upon seeing this, Budao smiled and nodded. Miyagi Ryota's shooting hand shape and posture have been completely changed. According to the original intention of martial arts, Miyagi Ryota's shooting rhythm is also changed from the original two motion.
Miyagi Ryota's jump shot rhythm adopts the traditional two motion. To put it simply, Miyagi's shooting speed is not fast. When shooting in open positions, and in practice matches when facing weak opponents, Miyagi is still good. space to take action.
But if Miyagi encounters a tall, quick-reacting player in subsequent games, Miyagi will definitely suffer a big loss given his height, wingspan and shooting speed.
He is different from Wu Dao. Wu Dao has excellent jumping and staying in the air, as well as excellent height. The two motion shooting rhythm allows Wu Dao to maximize his advantages. But Miyagi is different. Although his jumping is okay, his height and wingspan are a huge disadvantage. His two-motion shooting rhythm actually amplifies his weakness.
However, in order not to affect Miyagi Ryota's immediate combat effectiveness in subsequent games, Martial Arts did not point out this issue for the time being. During practice, Miyagi's attack power was also remarkable, which made Miyagi's self-confidence , has been strengthened a lot, and Martial Arts also hopes that Miyagi can maintain such momentum and momentum.
On the court, offense and defense switch. The team led by Akagi began to launch a counterattack. During the counterattack, Takenori Akagi did not wait for the pass from his teammates as he did in the past. Instead, he actively set a screen for his teammates, and then quickly dropped the ball after the screen. Shun, successfully created an open opportunity for himself.
The basketball passed into Akagi's hands, and Takenori Akagi scored a layup.
"Martial Arts, do you feel that there is something different about that guy Akagi?"
Mitsui Shou touched his chin and asked while standing next to Martial Arts. Although Wu Dao was the referee of the game, this was just a team practice match after all. Wu Dao did not run the whole court, he just stood on the sidelines and watched the two teams play. He would only call the ball if there was an obvious foul, so he acted very idle. .
"The style of play is indeed different from before. It seems that he has listened to Coach Anxi's tactical arrangements."
"But he's still too young. If he doesn't encounter any strong strikers, it won't be a big problem. If he does, I'm afraid he will be educated."
Budao looked at Takenori Akagi on the court and expressed his thoughts. Takenori Akagi trained very hard. Although he has made progress, the gap between him and the first-class center is still quite obvious.
Although Akagi is trying hard to adapt to Shohoku's current offensive rhythm, his movement speed cannot increase significantly in a short period of time. Although Akagi's offensive method has changed, there are still heavy shadows of the past.
"That's not a problem, progress is enough. Although this guy Akagi is a big talker, he still trains very hard."
"For this reason, I also believe that he can grow up quickly."
"I don't know if the coaches are back or not, and I don't know what kind of opponent we will face next."
“I hope the coach’s luck will not be too bad.”
Mitsui Hisashi looked at the training players on the court and murmured. When speaking, he inadvertently revealed the worry and anxiety in his heart.
"What words?"
"What's the difference between good luck and bad luck?"
"We in Xiangbei are different from those other schools. They only want to get a good ranking in the county competition."
"But our goal is not just a good ranking."
"Our goal has only been one from beginning to end. Have you forgotten?!"
Budo could hear the worry and anxiety in Mitsui Shou's heart and reminded him.
"..."
"you're right!"
"We have only one goal from beginning to end!"
Mitsui Shou nodded and adjusted his mentality. Unfortunately, Satoru Tsunoda on the court made a mistake in catching the ball at this time. He did not receive Miyagi Ryota's quick pass, and the basketball flew directly out of the court. When Budo blew his whistle, Mitsui Shou's roar also came out.
Just as the practice match was in full swing, the door to the arena was opened, and Coach Anzai and Caiko walked into the basketball arena. In Caizi's hand, she was still holding a roll of paper.
The sound of the two walking into the gym attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at Coach Anzai and Caiko, with deep expectations and excitement on their faces.
"Assemble."
"The battle list for the trial has been determined."
Coach Anxi came to the court and said to the players with a smile. After hearing this, the team members quickly gathered around, and Ayako, under the instruction of Coach Anzai, began to post a match list on the wall in a corner of the arena. Miyagi Ryota went over to help Ayako. For a moment, everyone Everyone's eyes are focused on this battle table that has not been fully launched.
There are only two teams in Kanagawa Prefecture that are qualified to compete in the national competition. The team selection method is to select the participating teams through two rounds of selection.
The first round of competition is the knockout stage. A total of 64 teams participated in this county competition. According to the draw results, each team can only guarantee a complete victory in the knockout stage and enter the semi-finals before they are eligible to enter the second round. round robin stage.
There are only four teams participating in the second round of the round robin. At this stage, the number of wins and points difference between the four teams is compared to select the final two teams to represent Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition.
In previous years, Shohoku High School led by Hisashi Mitsui met the seeded team Xiangyang High School in the eight-to-four game and lost. In the end, they couldn't even make it past the first round of the county competition.
What I want to say here is that the top four teams in the past can go straight to the quarterfinals, and the 64 teams are also divided into four major groups. The top four teams in the past, as seed teams, are scattered in each major group. among the group.
In Group B where Shohoku High School is located, the seed team is Mitsui Hisashi and his old rival, Shoyang High School.
"Um?"
"We don't have any decent opponents in this group?"
Mitsui Hisashi looked at the match list and found the location of Xiangbei High School, then glanced at Xiangyang High School, which was ranked first in Group B, and said calmly.
"Eh? Captain, are you mistaken? The team we are on is Xiangyang High School! The second strongest team in the county!"
"Our luck is really bad. Of the four teams, it would be great to be drawn to Buri, but Xiangyang~"
Yasuda Yasuhiro screamed. He also had some understanding of strong schools in high school. Xiangyang High School was the well-deserved second in the county.
"Idiot, what do you mean about good luck and bad luck? So what if I draw Xiangyang?!"
"It's just Xiangyang High School, we must defeat them!"
"Our goal is to dominate the country!"
Mitsui Shou opened his mouth when he heard this and was about to speak, when Takenori Akagi scolded him directly. After hearing this, Mitsui Shou glanced at Akagi with a smile and fell silent. Coach Anzai also laughed "hohohoho" when he heard Akagi's words.
"Akagi-san is right."
"For us in Xiangbei, it doesn't matter whether we have good or bad luck in drawing lots. After all, our goal is to dominate the country!"
Coach Anzai's words made the players in the gym become enthusiastic. After Hisashi Mitsui led the team to shout a few slogans, the team got back into training.
...
The trials for the Kanagawa Prefecture basketball project will begin at the end of May. In order to keep the players in good condition and avoid injuries, Coach Anzai began to reduce the intensity of the players half a month in advance. By mid-May, Shohoku's Most of the training is simple physical training, as well as some basic training.
The training intensity is several levels lower than before.
The main purpose of training at this stage is not to improve the players' skills, but to keep the players in a good competitive state.
Soon, half a month passed quickly, and the opening ceremony of the prefectural competition also kicked off at the Kanagawa Prefectural Gymnasium.
The early morning light penetrated the thin clouds and illuminated the earth.
The sun shines into the room and shines on Jinguji Budo's bedside, causing the sleeping Budo to frown.
I opened my eyes and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed. It was only 6 o'clock.
Wu Dao rubbed his sleepy eyes and closed them again. After two or three minutes, Wu Dao opened his eyes again, then slowly got up from the bed, put on his slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Today is the day of the opening ceremony of the county competition. The opening ceremony is at 7:30 and will be held at the county gymnasium. After the opening ceremony for nearly an hour, the game will start at the basketball hall. It takes almost forty minutes to take the train from the martial arts house to the gymnasium, so there is plenty of time for martial arts.
Moreover, in today's game, their Xiangbei team was in the second game, and according to the arrangement of coach Anzai, Wu Dao's playing time would not be very long, so when he woke up early in the morning, Wu Dao did not perform very actively.
It was already seven o'clock when Wu Dao washed up, finished eating and walked out of the house. According to Wu Dao's plan, he had no intention of attending the opening ceremony. He was already tired of the smelly and long opening ceremony.
After Budo left the house, he even took a slow detour to the court to shoot some shots. After finishing, he got on the train to the venue.
In the basketball stadium in Kanagawa Prefecture, the opening ceremony has begun. The Shohoku players stood solemnly in the venue, listening to the speeches of the leaders on the stage.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was standing at the front of the row, looked in the direction of the queue from time to time, trying to see if the martial arts had arrived. As the opening ceremony passed by, Mitsui Hisashi's expression changed from calm at the beginning to slowly... Become furious.
Until the end of the opening ceremony and the players moved to the basketball hall, Mitsui Hisashi still did not see martial arts.
Everyone in Xiangbei moved to the basketball hall and sat directly in the auditorium. Halfway through the Group A game, they Xiangbei went to the locker room.
Just as Hisashi Mitsui was losing his temper in the locker room, Jinguji Budokai walked into the locker room with his bag. After being scolded by Hisashi Mitsui, the Shohoku players changed their clothes and passed through the long distance. Corridor to the ballpark.
"Xiangbei is coming!"
"He's from Shohoku High School!"
"Xiangbei!"
"Mitsui!"
"Brother~"
When the players from Xianghoku High School walked onto the court, it was just the end of the last round of competition and the conference staff was cleaning up the venue. As the Shohoku players entered the stadium, the sound in the audience became enthusiastic.
Shohoku's popularity is pretty good, its previous results can be considered above average, and some teams attach great importance to Shohoku High School. Xiangyang High School, which has played against Shohoku before and is in the same group again this year, is the team that values Shohoku.
In the auditorium, the three guys from Horita tied the "Fire Man Mitsui Hisashi" battle flag on the railing in the front row. Martial arts was just mentioned before, but I didn't expect these guys to put it into practice so quickly. .
Takenori Akagi’s sister, wearing the uniform of No. 4 Middle School, was sitting in the audience cheering for Takenori Akagi, but her voice was drowned out by the cheers of other spectators.
"That No. 15 is the top star in Xiangbei who scored 55 points!"
"It does look very different!"
All the members of Xiangyang were sitting in the auditorium. Kenji Fujima had his hands on his chest and looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in the stadium with his starry eyes.
At this time, Budo was wearing the red uniform of Shohoku No. 15, holding a basketball in one hand and silently following the back of the team. Although he was standing at the end of the team, the presence of Budo was immediately noticed by Fujima. The figure of Jinguji Budo was so similar to that of his teammate Toru Hanagata.
The difference is that the Jinguji Martial Arts in Shobei looks more robust than Hanagata.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, some people in Shohoku acted very calmly. Tsunoda and the other first-year students watched curiously, while Budo and Miyagi, both first-years, had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. .
When they arrived at the rest area, Coach Anzai signaled the players to put down their backpacks, then turned to look at Budo and Miyagi Ryota, and said:
"In today's game, I want the first-year players to have a good experience."
"Martial Arts and Miyagi, you two will lead the team and play the game first."
"Satoru Tsunoda, Yasuharu Yasuda, and Tetsuji Shiozaki, you three will appear as starters."
Coach Anxi pushed up his glasses and said to everyone. After he said this, Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi, Chiba Oishi and others were stunned and looked at Coach Anxi in surprise.
"This...coach!"
"This is a county competition. Isn't such an arrangement too risky?!"
"How about we still play as normal and send other players on after leading by a certain number of points?"
Hisashi Mitsui hurriedly came to Coach Anzai and tried to persuade Coach Anzai to change his mind. However, Coach Anxi shook his head and said calmly:
"If you go on the court after taking the lead, your mentality will be different and it will not have the effect of training."
After finishing speaking, Coach Anxi looked at Martial Arts and asked:
"Martial arts, do you have confidence?"
At this time, Wu Dao was taking out a cup of ginseng and wolfberry tea from his backpack. When he heard this, he silently put the tea cup back, nodded, and said:
"Of course! I will bring the first victory to Xiangbei!"
