After the finals of the prefectural competition, when Shohoku began to give the team members a holiday, Lingnan High School, the champion of the Kanagawa Prefecture competition, began to enter a new stage.
Winning the county championship is not Coach Taoka's goal. His goal has been pointing to the national competition from the beginning. The list of players for Ryonan High School to participate in the national competition has been submitted. Kenji Fujima and Toru Hanagata will be active on the stage of the national competition as players of Ryonan High School.
The most important thing for Lingnan High School right now is to integrate Fujima and Hanagata into the team as quickly as possible.
And the best way to bond the team is, of course, through competitions.
Therefore, after the final day, Coach Taoka did not give the players any time to rest at all, and hurriedly led the Lingnan players to leave Kanagawa Prefecture and go to other prefectures to have friendly matches with teams from other prefectures.
Coach Taoka plans to use the expedition to speed up the team's integration before the official start of the national competition.
...
Early July.
After a light rain, the sky was clear and blue.
The Shohoku High School basketball team resumed training after three days off. In the basketball hall of Shohoku High School, Hisamasa Mitsui led the players in warm-up activities.
Coach Anzai did not come for today's training, and all the team's training plans will be arranged by the captain of the basketball team Hisashi Mitsui.
"In order to prepare for the national competition in the middle of this month, our training in Xiangbei will be very intense during this period."
"Everyone needs to be mentally prepared."
"The game against Lingnan High School should have made some of you understand your shortcomings."
"Today's training is no longer a team training, but will be a training of your personal abilities. The purpose is to let you make up for your shortcomings. Let us in Xiangbei stand on the national stage with a stronger attitude."
In the center of the arena, a group of players lined up in the center circle. Mitsui Hisashi stood in front of the team and spoke loudly.
His words made some people in the team lower their heads. Miyagi Ryota felt that Hisashi Mitsui was talking about him, and scratched his hair in embarrassment. Takenori Akagi also felt that Mitsui Hisashi's words were alluding to him. Although there were some unhappy emotions on his face, he did not jump out to refute anything.
Chiba Oishi stood in the center of the team with an indifferent expression. He had a clear understanding of his own abilities. Although he was not of much use on the offensive end in the game against Lingnan, he was still playing good defense.
Ryoji Ikegami, who faced him, only scored 6 points in the game, which is enough to illustrate the role of his defense~
As for Miyagi and Akagi, both of them are people with strong self-esteem. When Shohoku lost, they took the blame on themselves.
One is Shohoku's point guard. Although Miyagi Ryota is very good at helping Shohoku pass the ball, he knows that his presence on the offensive and defensive ends is too small. If Miyagi had excellent shooting ability in that game, then Lingnan's defensive focus would never be focused on Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi.
With these two people less constrained, they might be able to exert stronger attack power.
As for Akagi, he felt that he had failed in his duty as a center in that game. Shohoku High School was completely crushed by Lingnan High School in the second half of the second half. The biggest problem was that their Shohoku rebounding was lost.
The offensive styles of Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi both involve a lot of shooting, but no matter how good the pitcher is, it is impossible to have a 100% hit rate. For Shohoku, Budo and their shooting hit rate There is also a rebound retention rate, which will be directly related to the outcome of the game.
And rebounding is their last guarantee for Xiangbei. But even this kind of guarantee was destroyed by Lingnan High School in the competition a few days ago. Akagi felt that the loss was because he, the center, did not grab the rebound. Therefore, when Mitsui Hisashi said those words, although Akagi was a little unhappy, he did not get angry.
"Mumu, please take all the first and second grade substitutes for one hour of physical training and one hour of basic running practice."
"It's up to you to adjust your rest periods during training."
"Two hours later, we will conduct special exercises on passing, receiving, dribbling, and shooting."
"Miyagi Ryota, take the ball with you and go to that field for shooting practice."
"Chiba and Akagi, you two will form a team and go with Miyagi. But the two of you will practice blocking positions under the basket. Miyagi will shoot and you two will grab rebounds!"
"As for martial arts, I'll work with you for individual training and bullfighting!"
Hisashi Mitsui made a simple distinction between the Shohoku players based on the characteristics of the players. Generally speaking, the foundation of the substitutes is relatively poor. Hisashi Mitsui asked the veteran and heavy-handed Kimime Kimibu to lead the training in order to strengthen the foundation of the substitutes.
As for the starters, the personal playing styles of these five players have almost taken shape, and their foundations are quite solid. The exercises they need to do are to make up for their shortcomings. Therefore, Mitsui Hisashi, Budo and others did not participate in basic exercises with others. .
"Everyone understands, right? Disband once you understand."
After Mitsui Shou finished speaking, he waved to the team members, telling them to disperse and complete their respective training. After the players dispersed one after another, Hisashi Mitsui went to the sidelines, picked up a basketball, and came to Budo's side.
"I thought you would arrange for the players to conduct systematic running exercises."
"After the game against Lingnan, I found that our running tactics in Xiangbei were quite average. I thought you would choose to strengthen our running positions."
Jinguji Budo saw Mitsui Hisashi walking up to him with the ball and said with a smile.
"Coach Anxi still has to take the lead in this kind of practice. Running positions... I can only run, not teach."
"I think our top priority in Xiangbei right now is to improve the players' personal abilities rather than running positions."
"A group of dogs is just a group of dogs when they get together. They don't have much fighting power. Our team members must become wolves. Only when wolves get together can they become the top hunting group in nature."
Mitsui Hisashi looked at the team members who left for their own training and replied.
"So, you want to practice alone with me?" Martial Arts nodded slightly, agreeing with Mitsui Shou's view, but he didn't quite understand why Mitsui Shou wanted to bullfight with him. The physical gap between the two of them is not small. It doesn't make much sense for Mitsui Hisashi to practice alone.
It's just a unilateral massacre. What meaning can it have for the party being massacred?
"What? I can't fight you in a bullfight? Or are you afraid of losing to me?"
Mitsui Shou narrowed his eyes slightly and mocked.
"How could it be? I think fighting with me in a bullfight would be too cruel for you, and I would be very bored."
Wu Dao spread his hands, looking unconcerned.
"Stop talking nonsense and come on."
"We'll find out if we can fight."
Mitsui Hisashi walked to the other half of the arena with the ball. Budo followed Mitsui Hisashi and looked at Mitsui Hisashi's back with a puzzled expression. He didn't know what Mitsui Hisashi was thinking.
The two of them have known each other for a long time. It's not that they have never fought in bullfights, but they have only fought very rarely. Budo's physical fitness is much better than Mitsui Hisashi, and Budo's defensive awareness is also quite good. In fact, Mitsui Hisashi has never won a bullfight between the two of them.
In a one-on-one environment, Hisashi Mitsui has no way to move without the ball. He can only look for opportunities to break through and shoot. The triple threat removes his biggest threat. Mitsui Hisashi can still be a martial arts opponent. ?
"Mitsui, if you want to improve your ball-handling ability, it's useless to rely on bullfighting."
"Because if you fight against me, you won't have a good space to play. If you want to improve your ball-holding ability, you need additional practice."
Budo and Hisashi Mitsui occupied an empty half of the court, and Hisashi Mitsui stood about three meters outside the three-point line with a basketball. Seeing that Mitsui Shou seemed to really want to bullfight with him, Budo quickly reminded him.
Shohoku High School resumed training today. Budo had specially prepared the elevator door tactic. He wanted to communicate with Coach Anxi and then promote it among the team. Both Budo and Hisashi Mitsui are considered shooters, and the elevator door tactics actually fit well with Shohoku. If used well, Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Hisashi are the SD version of the Splash Brothers.
By making good use of this tactic, even if Xiangbei encounters the reinforced Lingnan High School, it will still be able to fight.
But unexpectedly, Coach Anxi is not here today. The coach is not here, so Budo can only wait for Coach Anxi to come.
"Martial Arts, have you ever felt that your ability to attack the frame is weak?"
Suddenly, Mitsui Shou, who was holding the ball, said to Budo. As soon as he spoke, Budo's brows were already wrinkled.
Weak at the basket? I have never felt this way about martial arts.
"Looking at you, it seems like you've never thought about this."
"Actually, your strength is pretty good, and both your jumping and speed are very scary. But have you noticed that when you play games, you rarely get close to the basket for layups, or finish with dunks."
"More often than not, you're actually shooting from the outside."
"Of course, I'm not saying that your shooting is inaccurate, or that it's not good to be lazy, but as a tall player with a height of nearly two meters, you can obviously rush inside and cause damage, why do you prefer to shoot from the outside? "
"In the game against Lingnan, even against Shinomiya Tōno, I found that you actually have a chance to rush into the paint. With Jun Uozumi, you will never be able to stop your layup or dunk. If you can make a layup or dunk in that game, He committed a foul, and Lingnan's inside line should have collapsed long ago, right?"
"Akagi's performance in that game was not as good as Uozumi, but in my opinion, it's not that Akagi is inferior to Uozumi, but Shinomiya's breakthrough put too much pressure on Akagi. He needs to divide the defense. Spend a lot of energy paying attention to Shinomiya Fields."
"But Yuzhu is different. He doesn't have such worries on the defensive end because he knows that you will definitely choose to shoot to finish. He just needs to rebound well!"
Mitsui Hisashi was dribbling the ball, and the sound of the basketball hitting the floor echoed in the arena. At first, Budo didn't take Mitsui Shou's words seriously, thinking that Mitsui Shou said these words because his vision was limited by the times.
But when Budao calmed down and listened carefully, Budao realized that what Mitsui Hisashi said made sense!
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
When Wu Dao is attacking, his favorite thing is to use his footsteps to fend off the defender and then directly use a jump shot to finish. From the beginning, Jinguji Martial Arts’ ideas did not come out from the experience of the previous life. His thinking logic has not changed, why does martial arts like to use footsteps and projection.
That's because deep down in his heart, Wu Dao still feels that he is the one who was blocked from playing basketball because of his short height.
He never thought about how strong his physical fitness is now. Even if he attacks the frame, even if he faces defenders like Uozumi and Shinomiya Tanoh, he is still very likely to score the ball.
His small-farmer mentality has not yet truly adapted to the abundant gifts of this body.
"Here, let me attack!" Hisashi Mitsui didn't say too much nonsense. He threw the ball to the inside of the three-point line and defended.
Budo thoughtfully took the basketball, and instead of passing it back to check, he directly dribbled the ball forward. By the time he brought the ball to the three-point line, Mitsui Hisashi was already slightly calm and focused. The ball broke through, and in the blink of an eye, his body was already parallel to Hisashi Mitsui.
In the next second, Mitsui Hisashi moved sideways quickly and caught up with Martial Arts in an instant, only falling behind by less than half a body.
Seeing that Mitsui Hisahi was out of position due to his breakthrough, Budo subconsciously made an emergency stop. A huge unlucky moment instantly changed the direction of his advance. At the same time as he was unlucky, Budo's body inevitably stuck to Mitsui Hisa. Mitsui Hisashi, who was not as strong as the martial arts, was pushed back half a step by the martial arts, leaving his body free.
The opportunity appeared, but in the next second, Wu Dao's body chose not to continue to advance with the ball.
Seeing Mitsui Hisashi out of position, Budo's first reaction was to ball up the ball. Then he took a step back and directly opened the gap between Mitsui Hisashi and Mitsui Hisashi. Then he quickly took off and shot.
Some series of actions did not go through the brain at all. Wu Dao's body seemed to have repeated such actions countless times. The basketball flew directly from Wu Dao's hands and fell directly into the basket.
When the basketball hit the net, Hisashi Mitsui not only did not feel any frustration, but looked at the martial arts with a faint smile on his face.
And Budo who threw the ball into the net was also a little confused. He scored this goal so naturally. If Mitsui Hisashi had not said that to him before, he would not have realized that he had made an attack just now. He gave up the opportunity to get to the basket, and instead used a step-back jumper to finish.
If the person he was facing at this time was Shinomiya, Budo's shot would have been explained away. After all, Shinomiya's physical fitness was very strong, and there was no guarantee that his shot would be blocked if he rushed to the basket.
But he is facing Mitsui Hisashi? ! Mitsui Hisashi, whose height and jumping are even lower than his own, faced Mitsui Hisashi's defense. Budo already chose shooting instead of slamming into the inside for dunks. This kind of offensive choice is already a big problem.
"Look, you can obviously wreak havoc on the basket, but you choose to shoot instead."
"Martial Arts, I don't mean to teach you how to play basketball, but I think there seems to be some deviation in your basketball approach."
Mitsui Shou's words echoed in Budo's ears, and some figures flashed through his mind. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have really gone astray.
"If Jordan or Kobe had handled the ball just now, they would most likely have broken through and dunked..."
"Looking back at their performance on the court now, if they can attack the basket, they rarely choose to shoot."
"Why shoot when you have the chance to cause damage...?!"
