The sun shines down on the city, and time flows behind the mark, layer by layer.
The Autumn National Sports training team led by Lingnan High School coach Tian Gang has been assembled, and the training to prepare for the Autumn National Sports is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
As a training team targeting Autumn National Sports, the entire team's training is conducted for the purpose of competition. There are very few targeted trainings related to football skills in the training projects. More of them are group competitions and a lot of physical training.
The heavy physical training also made the participating team members complain endlessly. Many people simply couldn't stand Coach Tianoka's physical training plan. Some people couldn't stand such heavy physical training, and felt that they had no chance to play in the Autumn National Sports. They were unable to be included in the final roster and withdrew from the training camp early.
In the past half month of training, many people have withdrawn from the training team one after another.
On this day, when coach Tian Gang announced the gathering, there were only about 20 players left for training. The number of people has been reduced by more than half compared to the beginning of the training camp. Those who can still stay now are those who are determined and can endure the boring training of Coach Taoka.
In the gymnasium of Lingnan High School, Coach Tian Gang stood in front of the members of the training team, his eyes swept over the members, looking at the sparse queue, he secretly sighed in his heart.
"After excluding some people, we can finally take a look at the mental outlook of the current team."
"The basic physical training was quite arduous and rigorous. Unexpectedly, this child actually survived."
Coach Taoka's eyes fell on Ichiro Kamizou in the middle of the team. There was some emotion, some surprise, and some surprise in his eyes. The training for the past half month has been mainly heavy physical training. Coach Tianoka's purpose is to eliminate some players and allow some players with poor physical fitness to quit.
Coach Taoka actually has a list of people who can survive this half month of special physical training, and in this list, Kamizou Ichiro's name is not included.
But the result surprised Coach Taoka. Kamizou Ichiro, a first-year student from Hainan, may look soft and weak, but he has a spirit in his bones that no one else has.
During training, Kamizou Ichiro's performance was not only not outstanding, he was even among the bottom group. Coach Tian Gang lost count of the number of times the boy lay on the edge of the green belt outside the door and retched. But he managed to survive. For such a long time, he had no idea of giving up.
Coach Taoka has to admire this kind of perseverance. He believes that with this belief, Kamizou Ichiro will one day be able to find his position on the court and realize his value.
For such players, Coach Taoka is willing to give him a chance. Even if Kamizouichiro fails to show enough immediate combat ability in the end, Coach Taoka will consider his potential and find a way to include him in the final 15-man roster. .
Coach Tianoka’s idea is also very simple. Some third-year students who have exhausted their potential should not block the path of potential new stars!
"Everyone! It has been exactly half a month since the joint training began until today."
"I think you have all seen how rigorous the training you have undergone in the past half month."
"For those of you who are still able to stay, your physical fitness and will have been tested."
"And the first stage of our training has now officially come to an end!"
"Here, I want to congratulate you for passing the first stage of training!"
As coach Tian Gang spoke, he clapped his hands as if to encourage the players. The players who didn't know what was going on looked at Coach Taoka in front of them. As soon as sparse applause broke out in the queue, Coach Taoka shouted loudly:
"but!"
"Don't be too happy too early!"
"There is only one and a half months left before the Autumn Kingdom. Starting today, the training that the rest of you have to undergo will be more rigorous and arduous than before."
"I hope you can all be mentally prepared for the upcoming training."
"And from now on, you will also say goodbye to boring physical training. In the following days, you will fight for yourself!"
"Split it!"
As Coach Tian Gang spoke, he glanced at a student next to him. The latter understood, carrying two big bags, and walked towards the team members.
"What is this going to do?"
"Fighting for individuals? What do you mean?"
As coach Tian Gang finished speaking, the players in the queue looked at the Lingnan players who were walking over carrying bags, and started talking quietly.
However, the discussion did not last long. As the Lingnan player began to distribute jerseys, the doubts on everyone's faces began to slowly dissipate.
Among those bags are colorful jerseys. There is no school information on the jerseys or the names of individual players, but they all have numbers. Right above the numbers, there is a line of small English letters. Martial Arts has a keen eye and can see clearly. What are the letters on the jersey?
"c, pf, sf, pg, sg." The small English characters above the jersey number are the English abbreviations of each position in the game. The jerseys are divided into two colors, one red and one basket. The arrangement of jersey numbers is not the traditional numbering method, but a coding method that has never been seen before.
Jun Uozumi stood at the forefront of the team. The jersey he got was red No. 1, with small English characters, marked C, center. And Toru Hanagata, who was similar in height to him, was standing next to him. The jersey he got was also red No. 1, but the small English characters on it were PF Power Forward.
With the distribution of jerseys, the players of Lingnan High School all received red No. 1 jerseys. Shinomiya got the No. 1, red jersey of SF (small forward), Sendō got the red No. 1 jersey of PG (point guard), and Kenji Fujima got the red jersey marked with SG. (shooting guard), the red No. 1 jersey.
All the red No. 1 jerseys and the next five were obtained by several players from Lingnan High School.
When the jerseys were distributed to Wu Dao and others, they had turned into blue jerseys. Jinguji Budo got the blue No. 1, marked SF, Akagi Takenori got the blue No. 1 c, Mitsui Hisashi got the blue No. 1 sg, and Chiba Oishi got the but It's the blue No. 3 PF, and Miyagi Ryota's side got the blue No. 2 PG.
Wu Dao glanced at the jerseys in the players' hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at the others. The Hainan players, who were lined up not far from the Xiangbei players, all shook out the jerseys in their hands.
The jersey in Mu Shen's hand was a blue No. 1 PG jersey, while Maekawa Daiki, not far away from him, got a blue No. 1 PF jersey. Takasago's side had a blue No. 2 PF jersey. Ichiro Kamizou got the blue No. 4 SG.
Except for those players in Lingnan, all the other players received blue jerseys. Except for differentiating positions, there were a lot of repetitions in jersey numbers.
When all the jerseys were distributed and everyone was confused, Coach Tianoka shouted again to attract everyone's attention.
"Now, everyone who got the center jersey, regardless of red or blue, gather here! Line up in rows!"
"PF, the people in power forward jerseys line up here, sf small forwards, here, followed by sg and pg."
Coach Tianoka commanded the team, and under his guidance, the players moved their positions and re-lined up. Jinguji Budo held the blue jersey and stood on the SF position. In front of him stood Lingnan's Shimiya Tiandou, and behind him stood Hainan's Dazheng Sifu.
"So, this is what Coach Tagoka means by personal battle..."
"The red No. 1 jersey means the starting lineup. The blue No. 1 means important rotation at the same position. As for the subsequent numbers, the rotation order decreases in order."
"The roster of Qiu Zhiguo Sports is 15 people. Normally, in this roster, each position should require three people."
"This also means that players other than Blue No. 3 will probably be excluded from the roster!"
"Considering that there should be a tacit understanding of contact after forming an army, I guess that the so-called second phase of contact will probably require us to compete for numbers!"
Jinguji Budo looked at the players lining up and roughly scanned the jerseys in the hands of the players. Budo instantly understood Coach Taoka's intention and said softly.
At this time, Shinomiya Tōno, who heard this, turned around, grinned, and said softly: "You still have a bright mind."
"You're right, the second stage of training is the real personal battle. I've been waiting for this day, but I've been waiting for a long time!"
"hey-hey!"
Shinomiya Tano grinned, his expression full of fighting spirit, and his tone full of excitement. Hearing this, Jinguji Martial Arts also lowered his head and smiled, saying to himself: "I have been waiting for this day...I have been waiting for a long time!"
Standing behind the two of them, Omasa Shifu saw Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanozhen both looking full of fighting spirit. He scratched his hair and took a half step back, not wanting to get involved with these two people. Go into personal struggle.
He knew very well how much he weighed, and the fight between these two people had nothing to do with him. There are not too many people at the small forward position, and what he is thinking in his mind is very clear. He participated in the Qiuzhi National Sports this year just to have a better resume when he enters college. To be honest, he does not insist on whether he can play in the game.
As the queues were rearranged, the team members inevitably had various speculations and whispered about Coach Taoka's plans.
He did not let the players guess randomly. After the teams were rearranged, Coach Tianoka announced directly:
"Starting from today, players in each position, you, will have different training."
"While training in groups, I will also rate the training results of each of you. After the training, the three with the highest scores at the same position will enter the final 15-man roster. In addition, Everyone, eliminated!”
"In the next one month, you will all be training. I hope you can work hard and strive to become a member of the representative team!"
As Coach Tianoka finished speaking, he began to arrange different training programs for each position. The center players have strength training, footwork training, and positioning training. As for power forwards, in addition to some basic training items, they also have defensive training and footwork training under the basket. The training content is similar to that of centers, but there are slight differences.
When it comes to the point guard PG group, there is a lot of physical training, dribbling, passing, and shooting-related exercises, with an emphasis on passing and dribbling. As for the shooting guard SG group, in addition to physical training, there is a lot of shooting and ball-handling offensive training.
After Coach Taoka arranged the training of those groups, it came to the small forward group where Budo and Shinomiya were located. His arrangement for this group was very strange. Omasashi Shifuku and others were dragged by Coach Taoka to train, but instead The two people, Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano, were left behind and ignored them.
Budo was wondering in his heart and planned to go to coach Tamoka to find out what happened. Shinomiya walked to the side of the court and picked up a basketball at random and threw it into the hands of Jinguji Budo.
"Come on, let's start our training!"
Budo subconsciously took the basketball and looked at Shinomiya Tanano in confusion. He didn't know what the training he was referring to, and he didn't know what Coach Tamoka's instructions were.
Seeing Budo's confused look, Shinomiya Tano explained with a smile:
"The two of us...are different from them. Don't you know this very well?"
"Our training is just the two of us!"
"Very simple! Very direct!"
Shinomiya Tōno walked up to Jinguji Budō, put one hand on the basketball, and grinned at Budō. Looking at the opponent's appearance, Wu Dao still didn't know what "training" he was talking about. He turned to look at the empty half of the opposite side with a smile on his face.
He was feeling strange that the gymnasium of Lingnan High School was not very big, and there were not many courts that could be used for training. However, there was an empty space in such a court. It turned out that this place was specially used for training. He stayed with Shinomiya Tanano.
"This kind of training is really beyond my expectations."
"Coach Taoka's training method is something I have never seen before."
Budao sighed while walking towards the empty court over there with Shinomiya Tanano.
"I mentioned this to the coach, and he readily agreed."
"Jinguji Martial Arts, from now on, we will have enough time... to decide the winner!"
The two walked to the empty court. Shinomiya stood at the top of the three-point line, moved the joints of his body, and said to Jinguji Budo.
Martial Arts didn't waste any time and threw the ball to Shinomiya Tanano and said: "Test the ball, I'll attack first!"
When Shinomiya saw this, he didn't talk nonsense. He took the basketball casually, rubbed it and walked to Budo. While handing the ball to Budo's hands, he quickly leaned down and got ready to defend.
Unlike everyone else's training, the training of Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tanō was actually a one-on-one bullfight!
The movements of Budo and Shinomiya Tano also attracted some people's attention. These days, many students from Lingnan High School will watch the team's training after school. The boring physical training in the past half month has caused the basketball team to lose part of its audience, and the remaining people who still come to watch the training are all serious basketball enthusiasts.
Compared with other people's training content, the bullfighting between Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tanō can naturally attract the curiosity of most onlookers.
The bullfight between Budo and Shinomiya has not even started yet, and there is already a circle of spectators surrounding them.
On the court, Jinguji Budo was strong with the ball outside the three-point line and did not start the attack immediately.
Shinomiya Tōno stretched out his arms, aware of the audience around him, slammed his hands on the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Hey! The stage has been set up for you! Come over quickly!"
"I want to prove to everyone that I am stronger than you!"
"No one can be on par with me! Not even you!"
Shinomiya Tōno stretched out his arms to defend, like a tiger pouncing on food, with overwhelming momentum.
Seeing the other party's serious look, Jinguji Budo calmed down and began to concentrate. He raised his head slightly and stared at Shinomiya. The basketball was dribbling with his left and right hands in front of him at a slow pace, bending his body and getting ready to go.
"I'll put in some effort to give you a good military training!"
