Mitsui Hisashi went abroad. After the Shohoku team members bid farewell to Mitsui Hisashi at the airport, they all realized that Shohoku High School was really going to be different from before.
With the departure of Mitsui Hisashi, even the most optimistic Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga were depressed for a while.
They have been playing at Shohoku High School since the third grade of junior high school. The captain Hisashi Mitsui has really helped them a lot in their growth, and Sakuragi and the others have also established a deep relationship with Hisashi Mitsui.
Different from simply entering a higher school, it is no longer easy for Sakuragi and the others to see Mitsui Hisashi again in the future.
However, time is the best medicine to heal scars. As time goes by, Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others also get out of the loss of separation and start their own high school life.
The training of the youth training team lasted for a long time. It was not until the beginning of school in September that Sakuragi Hanamichi and several other players who participated in the youth training officially returned to Shohoku High School.
As mentioned before, unlike China’s youth training system, today’s Neon does not have an established professional echelon. The so-called youth training is just a temporary allocation of outstanding young players from across the country to form a temporary team for training. .
After all, Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others are still players from Shohoku High School. If nothing else happens, Sakuragi and others will not be able to officially come into contact with professional basketball in this country until they graduate from college.
Neon's basketball construction is in line with the United States. It has abandoned the large-echelon model of the youth training mechanism and adopted pure campus basketball. It hopes to use this method to select good enough players.
For a basketball powerhouse, the campus basketball method is obviously less likely to miss out on truly talented players. Because of the low threshold for campus basketball, basically all students who are interested in basketball have the opportunity to be exposed to regular games.
However, this kind of training method requires the support of a huge basketball population. Today's Japan obviously does not have such a huge basketball population, so overall, the basketball level of Neon is low.
Against this background, China's youth training mechanism has given full play to its advantages. When the basketball population is not sufficient, targeted selection and targeted training will make it easier to cultivate outstanding players.
If this mechanism does not decay over time, China's youth training physique can also take a completely different path from campus basketball.
But here’s the problem. No matter how good the system is, it needs people to implement it. As time goes by, it will only be a matter of time before the system is corrupted by greed.
As the basketball population increases, there are young people playing basketball all over the country. At this time, the youth training mechanism no longer has its advantages. Because the resources of youth training are limited, no matter how the echelon construction is expanded, it is impossible to capture all the talents.
The lack of grassroots coaches will also cause most of the children who are talented but do not have access to youth training scouts to disappear from the crowd.
As for campus basketball? Students can play regular games, probably only during the annual sports meeting.
With such intensity, what else can we say about cultivating talents?
In this era, when Jinguji Budo was training in the United States, there were competitions almost every day. Even in Chinese campus basketball twenty or thirty years later, it is impossible for young players to have this number of games.
The same young player is 18.9 years old. American students are experienced in many battles, while Chinese students.
The construction of campus basketball is actually in conflict with the youth training mechanism. If there is no trade-off, one must have this or another, and the final result will be nothing.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and others who returned from youth training are obviously much more confident. After seeing outstanding players across the country, their plans for themselves have obviously changed.
School season.
The temperature in Kanagawa Prefecture has finally begun to drop in September. If the weather every day was around 35℃ before, then after entering September, the temperature is generally around 30℃.
Don't underestimate the fact that the temperature difference is only 5 degrees Celsius. The difference in body temperature is quite huge.
Early morning hours.
On both sides of the road in front of Xianghoku High School, the vegetation experienced in the midsummer was lush and lush. Jinguji Budo was wearing a black school uniform, holding a white sports backpack in his hand, and walked towards the school.
He is obviously a second-year high school student, but Jinguji Budo has no habit of carrying a schoolbag at all. The backpack in his hand does not contain stationery, but basketball shoes and sportswear.
The only stationery he had for reading was three pens
As for the books, they haven’t been distributed yet. Jinguji Martial Arts walked into the campus, and some unfamiliar students who passed by greeted Jinguji Martial Arts enthusiastically after seeing Jinguji Martial Arts.
Jinguji Martial Arts is considered a celebrity among celebrities at Shohoku High School. He led Shohoku to the national competition and helped the team win the national championship.
He was called "the strongest high school student in the country" by some local media in Kanagawa Prefecture. Nowadays, the name "Kanagawa Twin Stars" is not mentioned by many people. Judging from the players' personal data alone, Jinguji Budo, which averages close to 40 points per game, is obviously putting the pressure on Shinomiya Tanano.
Who attracts the most attention in school? rich?
There are only three people who attract the most attention in the school: those who are good-looking, those who have particularly good academic performance, and those who are particularly outstanding in a certain sport!
Athletes in sports such as basketball and football can easily attract the attention of other students.
When Jinguji Budo came to the classroom, there were not many people in his class. Jinguji Budo, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, came earlier. Since it was the first day of school, the basketball team did not have morning practice.
The students in the classroom at this time are generally hard-working "students" and "students".
Wu Dao was not very familiar with these classmates, that is, they were just acquaintances. After briefly saying hello to his classmates, Wu Dao went to his seat. After sorting his backpack for a while, he sat boredly on his seat and looked out the window. landscape.
Soon, students came to the classroom one after another. Some students who thought they had a good relationship with martial arts also gathered around martial arts, asking about the national competition and gossiping. What it’s like to be on TV in martial arts.
Wu Dao communicated with his classmates politely and perfunctorily. He did not show any pretense and tried his best to appear easy to get along with. And this tormenting polite scene didn't end until the bell rang outside the corridor.
On the first day of school, like most schools, the teachers did not rush to talk about what was in the textbooks on the first day of school. Instead, they chatted and bragged with the students, alleviating the students' worries when they returned to school. That sense of confrontation.
The relationship between Jinguji Budo and its teachers is pretty good, and some teachers did not forget to congratulate Budo for leading the Shohoku basketball team to win the championship when they were bragging.
"The ordinary daily school life is almost overlapping with the high school career in my mind."
During the lunch break, Jinguji Martial Arts lay on the desk, looking at the sky outside the window and couldn't help but murmured. There is no bloody youth love pain, no so-called campus bullying, and no discrimination from teachers and classmates.
Jinguji Budo's time in high school in Shohoku was dull but fulfilling. In such an environment, all the worries of adults disappeared.
"Students, today, a new classmate will come to our class!"
"Come on, classmate, introduce yourself to everyone."
On the podium, the female teacher gave up her position in the center, pulled the short boy next to her to the center of the podium, and said with a smile.
"Uh huh. Uh huh huh!!"
"Hello everyone!!!"
"I am Sora Kuratani, a transfer student. Please give me your advice!"
In the first-grade classroom, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was sleeping on the desk, was awakened by the loud voice of self-introduction. He squinted and raised his head to look at the podium. I happened to see a slightly thin boy standing next to the female teacher.
The boy has broken hair and bangs similar to Rukawa Kaede's, but his hairstyle is more "expanded" than Rukawa Kaede's, and the hair texture is obviously much harder.
The boy is very short, even shorter than the female teacher next to him. According to visual inspection, he is probably only about 150cm. Although he is wearing a black school uniform, his face is full of childishness, and he looks exactly like a child. The appearance, the mouth is clean, it is obvious that it has not even developed.
However, Kuratani Sora has a cheerful personality and a smile on his face.
At this moment, he looked excitedly at the students in the classroom. As his eyes moved, he noticed Sakuragi's gaze and actually waved to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Who is this short man?"
"Does this genius know him?"
When Sakuragi saw Kuratani Sora waved and didn't respond, she scratched her head, fell down on the desk again and continued to sleep. He has no interest in transfer students. Class will be over after this class. He needs to recharge his batteries and prepare to go to the gym for training.
Sakuragi, who was lying on the table, didn't notice that Sora Kurutani, who was standing on the podium, was looking at Hanamichi Sakuragi eagerly.
"Ohhh!!! Is that person the genius first-year student at Shohoku High School, Hanamichi Sakuragi?!"
"Red hair is so cool! So impressive!!"
"Am I going to be teammates with people like this in the future?! Ohhhh! So excited!!"
Kuratani Sora looked at Sakuragi and screamed in his heart. At the teacher's signal, he sat down on an empty seat in the front row. Obviously, this position was "specially" prepared for him by the teacher.
It is impossible for ordinary boys to sit in that position.
After Kuratani Sora sat on the seat, he put his backpack into the drawer, then fumbled around and took out an "Application for Admission to the Ministry" from the backpack.
[Application form for joining the Basketball Club]
【Cheutani Sora】
【First grade】
[Height 153cm, weight 41KG]
【Point Guard】
Looking at the completed application form for joining the club, Sora Kuratani clenched his fists excitedly and murmured: "Shohoku High School!"
"I finally managed to transfer here. I'm really lucky. A school like Xiangbei is actually a public school."
"If it were here. If it were here!!"
Kurumi Sora's body trembled slightly with excitement. A girl sitting half a meter away from him noticed the movement beside him. She glanced at Kurumi Sora doubtfully and asked in a low voice: "Classmate Kurumi Sora, are you sick?" Yet?"
"Huh?! No, no!"
Che Gukong heard Nuo Nuo's questioning voice beside him and immediately said loudly. And when his words fell into this quiet classroom, they were like stones falling on a calm lake, stirring up waves.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to Kuratani Sora. The embarrassed Kuratani Sora lowered his head and wanted to bury his head in the desk.
Sakuragi was once again awakened by Kurutani Sora's movements. He raised his head, glanced at Kurutani Sora's back dissatisfied, and once again lay down on the desk.
Mito Yohei, who was in the same class as Sakuragi, was also looking at Kuratani Sora at this moment, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "He is really a strange transfer student."
After class, the moment the bell rang, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was sitting in the last row, jumped up from his seat, picked up the backpack at hand, and rushed out the door.
On the podium, the teacher hadn't even had time to say get out of class was over. He looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi who rushed out of the classroom and was stunned. His fists had been clenched unconsciously, and the chalk in his hand was directly crushed into two pieces.
"."
"get out of class is over!!!"
After a long time, the teacher threw the chalk in his hand into the pencil box and said angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a thin figure followed Sakuragi Hanamichi's footsteps and rushed out of the door.
Turning around to look, the teacher found that there was no one in the empty position of Che Gu.
"These bastards!!!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kuratani Sora's "positive" attitude towards dismissal from get out of class made the teacher unable to help but feel angry.
Yohei turned his head and glanced at Sakuragi's seat, with a smile on his face. After simply packing up his things, he stood up and walked towards the basketball gym.
On the way to the basketball gym, Yanghei "coincidentally" ran into Da Kusu, Takamiya and others who were also going to the basketball gym. The few people they met smiled at each other and quickened their pace.
"First!!!"
In the basketball gym, Sakuragi Hanamichi opened the door directly, laughed and shouted into the gym. The naive Sakuragi would compete for first and second place even among the players who arrived first.
However, the moment Sakuragi opened the door, a thin figure in the museum turned around and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi.
"Um?!"
"Is this guy the kid just now?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi saw the person in the gym and recognized him. Isn't this the transfer student from their class? It seems to be called Sora Kuratani?
"First, it's me!"
"Sakura-san!"
Kuratani Sora saw Sakuragi Hanamichi at the door, looked at the surprise on his face, and said with a smile.
Hearing the other party calling his name, Sakuragi Hanamichi frowned slightly and asked, "Is your name Sora Kurutani?"
"Is that the transfer student?!"
"What are you doing in the gym? If you're here to watch the Shohoku High School Basketball Club train, you can't enter the court wearing outside shoes. You need to change into indoor shoes, or you can only stand on the sidelines."
Sakuragi Hanamichi clasped his hands on his chest and said to Sora Kuratani, with a somewhat lecturing tone in his words.
"Ah? Do you want to change your shoes?"
"Sorry, I don't know."
When Sora Kurutani heard this, he hurried to the sidelines as he spoke, and said to Sakuragi with an apologetic face. However, just when Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression softened, Kurutani Sora suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, showed it in front of Sakuragi, and said:
"But I'm not here to see Shohoku's training!"
"I'm here for training!"
"I want to join the Shohoku High School Basketball Club!"
Kuratani Sora's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi look startled, and then he looked at Kurutani Sora attentively. He was only as tall as his chest and should be less than 160cm by visual inspection. He was thin and had no flesh on his body.
Such a person wants to join their Xiangbei High School basketball club? !
Sakuragi was suspicious, looking at Kuratani Sora, he couldn't help but frown:
"Are you looking down on our Shohoku High School Basketball Club?!"
"What kind of people do you think can join us in Xiangbei?!"
