"Shōhoku High School's Jinguji Martial Arts, and Reinan High School's Shinomiya Tanano. I heard from my colleague who went to Kanagawa to interview that the abilities of these two people, even if they go to college now, they are the top players!"
The reporter's words made Goro Domoto a little stunned. He did not expect that Hainan High School, which has dominated the basketball scene in Kanagawa Prefecture for more than ten years, did not even qualify for the national competition this year.
Speaking of which, he also knows Hainan's coach Gao Tou. Sanno Industrial and Hainan had competed against each other in the early years. Although the strength of Hainan's players was far behind their mountain kings, the Hainan coach was not an easy character to deal with, which left a deep impression on him.
"You said...Hainan didn't even make it to the national competition this year?"
"The aces of the two qualifying teams from Kanagawa Prefecture are both first-year players? Are they comparable to the top players in the university?"
"Is this news accurate?"
Goro Domoto asked in slight surprise. He somewhat doubted the authenticity of what the other party said. After all, the other party just "listened to what his colleagues said."
"The news that Hainan has not entered the national competition is confirmed. The two teams from Kanagawa Prefecture that qualified this year are Shohoku High School and Lingnan High School."
"It is certain that the aces of both teams are first-year players, but I don't know if they are as strong as the top players in the university."
"That's what my colleague said, but I didn't go to the game, so I don't know the specific situation."
"However, Coach Domoto, you know that our reporters at Basketball Weekly are also basketball enthusiasts and know a little bit about basketball. My colleague has also interviewed some college basketball teams."
"He would say that. I guess it's pretty much the same. The strength of those two aces will definitely be very strong."
"And I heard that the local sports daily in Kanagawa also has special reports. I still have the newspaper."
While the reporter was talking, he flipped through the backpack on his waist, took out a folded newspaper, handed it to Goro Domoto's hand, and then gave the guy with the camera behind him a look.
It can be seen that this reporter came to interview Goro Domoto and was obviously well prepared. He has even thought of the title of today's interview, which is called: "Goro Domoto, the head coach of the nationally dominant Sannos, sneered at the 'Kanagawa Double Stars'"
Although the title is a bit long, once the weekly is printed, it will definitely sell very well in Kanagawa, and the topic will definitely rise immediately.
"Coach Domoto, take a look." The reporter did not hide his emotions very well, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Goro Domoto did not notice the reporter's emotions, so he took the newspaper from the other party's hand and unfolded it gently. At a glance, he saw a report about the so-called Kanagawa Double Star occupying 1/4 of the newspaper's page.
"The king's screen is closed, the stage is closed, and the stage is Kanagawa's ツインズ" A big title came into view.
Goro Domoto did not read the content of the report immediately. Instead, he immediately set his sights on those photos, including the photos of Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Nodo shaking hands, the photos of Shinomiya Nodo dunking, and the photos of Shinomiya Nodo. Photo of Miyadera Budo shooting.
"The kid who dunked has very smooth muscle lines. He should be very strong in real life."
"Also for this kid, the posture of the fadeaway jumper feels very stretchy and light. The bounce and explosive power should be very strong, and he must have practiced this shooting method a lot."
Domoto Goro looked at the photo and immediately made a judgment, and then started to report the content. However, he was a little disappointed with the report. The entire report was basically boasting about how good these two players were, without revealing any details.
Height, weight, wingspan, no data for each game, etc., which made Coach Domoto frown slightly.
"Coach Domoto, what do you think of these two players?!" The reporter was keenly aware of Coach Domoto's emotions, raised his eyebrows, and asked.
"Um......"
"Just looking at the reports, we can't see anything. These two players may have really good talents, but it's still too early to call them the savior of the basketball world."
“At the end of the day, it’s just a county competition.”
"Their strength will be personally tested by strong teams from all over the country."
Goro Domoto said some high-sounding words, and then simply answered a few questions when asked by reporters. The interview was over.
...
Two days later, Friday.
Summer training at Xiangbei High School has begun to get on track. Without the pressure of schoolwork, Xiangbei's training has also become a full day, starting at 8.30 in the morning and training until 6.30 in the evening. Of course there is rest time during this period, and even lunch can be taken in the cafeteria. Coach Anxi's arrangements are very formal, and there is no training for the players for an hour before or after lunch.
There is even a nearly two-hour lunch break after the meal.
In the early morning, Hisashi Mitsui packed up his backpack and walked out of his house as usual, heading towards Shohoku High School. When I passed a bookstall, I bought a copy of Basketball Weekly from the stall owner and read it.
In this era, Basketball Weekly is one of the most important ways for basketball fans like them to obtain information about professional players. Now that the Internet is underdeveloped, the speed and channels of information circulation are very limited.
In the past, basketball weekly magazines usually reported some information about NBA players, transfers, gossip, and even rookies. At the same time, in order to enrich the content of the books and periodicals, some interviews with well-known domestic university and high school teams will also be included.
Now that the IH National Competition is approaching, Basketball Weekly often reports on high school basketball teams and interviews high school players. Mitsui Hisashi walked along the sidewalk toward Shohoku High School and casually opened the plastic book cover of the book.
He flipped through a few pages at random, and on a certain page, a big title followed by a small title immediately attracted his attention.
"Goro Domoto, the head coach of Sanno Industries, the national hegemon, commented on 'Kanagawa Twin Stars'"
"'Double Star' county competition level!"
A big title and a small title immediately attracted Mitsui Hisa's attention. There is no surprise. This report was written by the reporter who interviewed Goro Domoto at that time.
The other party "artistically processed" Goro Domoto's words and included them in his report. The original words of Domoto Goro above have not been changed at all, but a lot of the reporter's own "interpretations" have been added.
A four-page report, one full page is filled with words and language that establishes opposition, and the next three pages introduce three players from Sanno Industries. Kazunari Fukatsu, Masashi Kawada and Eiji Sawabita.
Unlike the local articles in Kanagawa that reported on Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano, Basketball Weekly clearly listed the data of these three players when introducing them.
Kazunari Fukatsu, sophomore, point guard, height 177cm, weight 70kg, averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 6 steals in the county competition.
Kawada Masashi, sophomore, center, height 190cm, weight 91kg, averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks in the county competition.
Zebei Eiji, first grade, small forward, height 186cm, weight 73kg, averaged 36 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals per game in the county competition.
"This guard from Sanwang actually averages 6 steals per game. Is the opponent too weak? Or is this guy too strong?"
"Oh~ The statistics of this center are so gorgeous! He is only 190cm tall, but he is much heavier than that guy Akagi."
"He can score, rebound, and block a lot of shots. He is a very comprehensive guy. He is a very strong opponent!"
"As for this small forward... he is a thin dog. If he goes up against martial arts, he will definitely be slaughtered."
Hisashi Mitsui curiously looked at the various data of the Sanno Industrial team members and gave his own evaluation. Mitsui Hisashi attached great importance to Kazunari Fukatsu and Masashi Kawada. The data characteristics of these two people are very distinct, and taken together they are quite gorgeous. At least, Miyagi Ryota and Akagi Takenori, who are in the same position in Shohoku, are definitely not as good as the other two in terms of data performance alone.
As for Sawokita Eiji, although the report said that he was evaluated by Goro Domoto as a boy who could become "Neon's No. 1 High School Student", in Mitsui Hisashi's view, Sawokita Eiji was the least threatening among all the opponents. that one.
Shohoku's small forward position is Jinguji Budo. Although Budo has always said that he belongs to the point position, in fact, Budo plays the small forward position in Shohoku, and at most there is some swingman interest in it.
Jinguji Budo at the same position has reached a height of 196cm this year and a weight of 83kg. Although his scoring average is 50-50 with Eiji Sawabita, he does not play much time in the prefectural competition martial arts and only has only When playing against strong teams, he played the entire game.
There is a 10cm difference in height and almost 20 kilograms in weight. The two of them don't have to fight. Mitsui Hisashi can already predict the fate of Eiji Sawabita.
After all, Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tōno fought very hard when they fought against each other.
Shinomiya is 191cm tall and weighs a terrifying 93kg. Just looking at his physical data, he is far beyond the small forward dimension. He is less than 20kg heavier than Jinguji Budo, but in terms of confrontation, he is already Let Wu Dao suffer a lot.
In martial arts fighting against Shinomiya, at least there is some height advantage, but if Zebita Eiji faces any of the two stars, he will not have any advantage in any aspect, and I am afraid he will be eaten to death by then. .
Therefore, Mitsui Hisashi simply dismissed the so-called "Neon No. 1 high school student" promoted by coach Eiji Sawabita.
Mitsui Hisashi was flipping through the magazine in his hand as he walked towards Shohoku High School. Not long after, he arrived at the Shohoku campus. Putting the magazine into his backpack, Mitsui Hisashi walked towards the arena.
“Bang!
! "
Just as he walked to the door of the arena, Mitsui Hisashi heard a loud noise from the arena. He opened the door and looked inside. He happened to see Jinguji Martial Arts holding the basket with one arm and hanging on the ground. The top of the basket swayed slightly.
In front of him, a red-haired boy was sitting stupidly on the floor, looking up at the Jinguji Martial Arts above.
There is no one in the arena now, except for Jinguji Martial Arts, and that is the red-haired boy. Mitsui Hisashi knew the other person, he was a junior student at Wako Middle School named Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Judging from the appearance of the two of them, they must be training...
"Sakuragi, you need to move faster. With your physical fitness, you won't be dunked so easily."
"In the final analysis, your steps were slow and you didn't stand up to block the shot immediately."
"Along the court, lie down and slide sideways, jog when the baselines are on both sides, and speed up when sliding along the long sidelines. Let's start first."
In the stadium, Jinguji Budo let go of his hand, fell back to the ground, held Sakuragi's hand, pulled him up from the ground, and then said calmly.
"Yeah!" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was punished for sliding, unexpectedly didn't have any unnecessary nonsense. He took steps directly, starting from the bottom line and sliding forward.
Mitsui Hisashi walked past Sakuragi and came to Budo's side. He pointed at Sakuragi Hanamichi curiously and asked, "What's going on?!"
"It's just training, what else could happen?"
"I don't know what happened to this kid. He came to my house and said he wanted to have special basketball training, so I simply brought him here."
"When the time comes, let him do some basic training without delay."
Budo looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and said with a smile. In fact, Martial Arts still doesn't know why Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly became so motivated. Although he took Sakuragi to do some basketball training before, although Sakuragi Hanamichi completed every training, Martial Arts can see that, Sakuragi's enthusiasm is actually average.
His driving force for playing is not his love for the sport, but his desire to become a so-called "athlete" and gain Haruko's favor. His purpose in playing is not pure, and all he thinks about is Haruko. His rate of progress is actually very average.
But today's Sakuragi Hanamichi is different. Martial Arts can see that Sakuragi Hanamichi's enthusiasm is very high today, and he is completely different from before.
Budo didn't realize it at first, so he asked Sakuragi Hanamichi to be his sparring partner and let him defend him, adding a little pressure to his training. But as the practice progressed, Martial Arts actually saw the emotion of longing in the opponent's eyes.
That desire is the desire to win.
When Budo realized this, he changed Hanamichi Sakuragi's role as a sparring partner and turned it into a real bullfight where you hit the ball and I hit the ball. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is weak when attacking with the ball, it can be seen that he is very excited and happy when playing.
Seeing that Sakuragi Hanamichi is so eager to become stronger, Martial Arts is no longer polite to Sakuragi. He uses 3 goals as a limit. Every time Sakuragi loses, he is asked to complete some basic training.
Sliding steps, alternating dribbling with left and right hands, defensive blocking, defensive postures, etc. Although the things taught in martial arts are very complicated and very simple, Sakuragi completes them very seriously every time, although there is no way to make him fly with quality. Far away, but Sakuragi Hanamichi's posture on the court becomes more and more like a player.
"Basic training... This kid, I remember his talent..." Mitsui Hisashi knew Sakuragi Hanado and had heard it mentioned in martial arts before.
"Well, the talent is very good."
"Now in the third grade of junior high school, I am already 185cm tall and weigh 79kg. I have not yet developed. But slam dunking is already very easy."
"His jumping potential is also terrible. If he trains well in the next half year, he will be ready to fight when he enters our Xiangbei next year."
"He will be our future in Xiangbei."
Budo looked at Sakuragi who was training with a smile on his face. He likes this guy Sakuragi Hanamichi very much, likes this guy's character, and likes this guy's innocence. He hopes that his presence can speed up Sakuragi's growth and make Sakuragi's growth less bumpy.
"A junior high school student who is 185cm and 79kg can still dunk easily."
"Looking at physical fitness alone, this kid is almost as good as 'Neon's number one high school student'."
Mitsui Shou curled his lips and said pointedly.
"The number one high school student in Neon?"
"what?"
Martial Arts looked confused and turned around to ask. Mitsui Hisakami mysteriously opened the zipper of his backpack, took out Basketball Weekly and put it in Budo's hand, and whispered: "Here, take a look."
Hisashi Mitsui looked like a country aunt who spoke ill of people behind their backs. Even though there was no one else in the arena, he lowered his voice and pretended to be heard.
"Mysterious, not some pornographic book."
"What did you want me to see?"
Budao took the magazine and flipped through it. He didn't see any strange pictures, and then looked at Mitsui Shou with a speechless expression.
"Here, here..." Mitsui Hisashi took the magazine, flipped through it, and found the interview with Domoto Goro, and then returned it to Budo's hands.
"The first grader in Sanno's class is called 'Neon's No. 1 high school student' by their coach."
"Let me tell you, how can that thin dog deserve such a title? If we encounter them in Xiangbei, we must give them some color."
Mitsui Shou suddenly said angrily at this moment, this guy seems to be a little obsessed with the title of No. 1 High School Student. Budo flipped through the magazine, directly ignoring the previous words that deliberately created conflicts, and turned his attention to the data of Kawada Masashi and others.
His expression became serious.
"It's hard to deal with...Okawada has already started playing center in his sophomore year of high school. Akagi can't deal with it..."
"If we encounter the mountain king... it will be very bad!"
