The assessment lasted for a whole day. Although the players who were successfully selected into the 15-man roster could not be said to have exerted much physical energy, they were also highly stressed mentally throughout the day and felt somewhat tired.
After dinner, just when the players thought they could have a good rest and relax, Coach Tianoka and his coaching staff came to the restaurant.
When the players' eyes fell on Coach Tian Gang, Coach Tian Gang asked everyone with a smile:
"Uh-huh!"
"How was everyone's meal?!"
Coach Tian Gang clapped his hands with a smile on his face. Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hanamichi raised his hand directly, still chewing the steak in his mouth, and responded vaguely: "Very good!"
The other players also laughed secretly when they saw Sakuragi's gluttony, and everyone had a smile on their face. Coach Tianoka didn't need to ask everyone to know that these children should be quite satisfied with their arrangements.
The fact is indeed the case. Among the players present, there are not that many rich families. The vast majority of them are from working-class families.
For them, freedom of fruits and vegetables is unthinkable. In a place like an island country with barren land, the price of meat is not as high as the price of fruits and vegetables.
Seeing that the players were satisfied, Coach Tianoka smiled even more, and then continued towards the players with a smile:
"Since everyone has eaten well, let's rest for half an hour and let's eat!"
"Although we have booked the entire hotel this time, to be honest, the funds we have are actually very limited."
"As a player, diet is the top priority, so we will not skimp on you in terms of food."
“But correspondingly, in order to reduce expenses, accommodation conditions must be appropriately reduced.”
"You have a total of fifteen players now, but there are only five dormitories."
"Among them, three are single rooms and two are large rooms for 6 people."
"Hahaha, in terms of accommodation conditions, the single room is much better than the 6-person room. Not only does it have a separate bathroom, but it also has its own chair and sofa."
"When I go to bed at night, I don't have to endure the athlete's foot or snoring from other players."
Coach Tian Gang said with a smile. When he said this, Xiandao couldn't wait to interrupt and said: "Coach, don't show off."
"What you mean by this is to tell us that there are conditions for staying in a single room, right?"
"Just tell me, what are the conditions?"
Coach Tian Gang was not angry when he saw Sendao interjecting. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said matter-of-factly:
“If you want to get better accommodation conditions, of course there are conditions!”
"What do you think determines the salary and benefits of professional players?"
"Of course it's strength! As a player, what else is more convincing than strength?"
"Jinguji Budo, Shinomiya Tōno, as captains of the team, you two each choose the player you like from the other 13 players."
"Form two teams and have a practice match."
"On the winning side, three people will get single rooms!"
"As for the loser, there is nothing to say. Of course, they will sleep on the same bunk bed!"
While Coach Tagoka was talking, the eyes of the players in the restaurant were already focused on Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano.
They didn't expect that after a day of assessment, something like this would be waiting for them at night.
If you only stay in a Tongpu for a day or two, the players will still find it novel and interesting.
But if you have to live for more than a month, then I'm afraid most people won't be able to adapt. Or it may take more than a month for everyone to barely adapt.
For people like Fujima who are slightly mysophobic, their heads start to hurt just by thinking about the scene of the common shop described by Coach Taoka.
When Coach Taoka announced that Budo and Tanano could choose their teammates respectively, he looked at Shinomiya Tanano with expectation.
"Play in separate teams?!"
“Sounds interesting”
"Hey, Martial Arts, I didn't expect that I would have a chance to wash away my shame so soon!"
"What do you say? How do we assign the team members? Who starts the selection first?"
When Shinomiya heard that there was an opportunity to compete with Jinguji Martial Arts again, he immediately became excited, quickly raked up the remaining rice in the bowl, and then asked loudly towards Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Coach Taoka, how should we select our players?"
Budao glanced at the excited Shinomiya Tanano, and was also very interested in the matter proposed by Coach Tanoka about selecting team members to participate in the practice match, and asked loudly.
"Just decide for yourself!"
Coach Tianoka waved his hand and said casually. In this regard, he did not give any restrictions or opinions.
"That's it! That's easy."
"Tianye, please save your effort and let's guess the game. The winner will be decided in one go. The one who wins goes first!"
Budo pushed away the dinner plate in front of him, stood up with a smile, and Shinomiya Nodano nodded when he saw Budo getting up. Then, under the gaze of the players, this "time-honored" decisive method began. The players on the side also gathered around at this moment. Amidst the chants of these people, Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano punched at the same time.
"I won!"
The luck of Jinguji Martial Arts was very good, and they won the guessing game. Without any hesitation, they looked directly at Mu Shenyi, who was standing in the crowd at this time, and took the lead in making his choice:
"The first player I chose, Mu Shenyi!"
Hearing the choice of Jinguji Martial Arts, the players around them all let out low sighs, greatly surprised. Everyone would think that Jinguji Budo would choose their own players from Shohoku. Because in a five-on-five game, familiar teammates don't need to go through the process of getting used to each other again.
In the eyes of most people, choosing your own teammates is the best solution, and Jinguji Budo’s teammates are also very strong. Takenori Akagi at the center, Hanamichi Sakuragi at the power forward, and the back line Miyagi rice field and Rukawa maple.
It can be said that Jinguji Martial Arts can choose a lineup that will win the championship in northern Hunan. Even if Shinomiya Tōno and Jinguji Budō make the same choice and select all their Lingnan teammates into the team, they may not be able to win against the fully equipped Shohoku.
The choice of martial arts really surprised everyone.
Coach Taoka, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows when he saw Jinguji's choice of martial arts. He was obviously a little surprised.
Among the players, Sakuragi Hanamichi was the one who had the biggest reaction. Seeing Jinguji Martial Arts win the game of rock climbing, he was confident that Martial Arts would choose him first. After all, Sakuragi thought he was the best in Shohoku besides martial arts. The most talented player.
Unexpectedly, Wu Dao chose someone from another school.
In fact, even the chosen Mu Shenyi was in a daze for a moment. He didn't have much contact with martial arts, and the relationship between the two was limited to mutual acquaintance.
He did not expect that the first person chosen for martial arts would be himself.
However, the surprise on the face of A Mu who was selected quickly disappeared. He walked into the crowd and came to Wu Dao. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to choose me. In this case, I can't let you live up to your expectations." ah!"
The reason why Jinguji Budo chose Mu Shinichi is also very simple. As a point guard, although Amu is a ball-handling core, his ball control is the most stable among all point guards.
With Mu Shen around, Wu Dao felt that he might be able to save some energy and play without the ball. With such an outside tank, he should be able to easily attract double-teams from the opponent!
And Amu's conduction is very good. After all, he is someone who can connect inside and outside in Hainan. This kind of court vision and conduction ability are exactly what a point guard needs. A player like Mu Shenyi, no matter which team he is placed on The team is all about plug-and-play talent.
When Budao heard Mu Shenyi's words, he also smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, then turned to look at Shinomiya Tano.
Shinomiya touched his chin, and after seeing Yuichi's selection, he suddenly changed his initial thoughts. He originally planned to choose the good friend Xian Dao, but when he saw that Wu Dao did not choose his teammates first, he also considered other possibilities.
Yes, the players present are all selected through layers of selection. There is no need to say their level of excellence. Why doesn't he try the possibility of being selected?
Maybe playing with other players will have a better chemical reaction.
Thinking of this, Shinomiya Tano glanced at Mu Shenyi, then set his sights on Rukawa Kaede, and made his choice.
"I choose your Rukawa Kaede from northern Hunan."
Shinomiya Tōno's choice immediately aroused a cry from the people around him. His choice also exceeded everyone's expectations.
As for why Shinomiya Tōno chose Rukawa Kaede, the reason is also very simple, that is, when Budo has already chosen Mu Shinichi, there are actually not many choices for Tōno to find a defender who can fight against Mu Shinichi.
It is true that Sendao is the most suitable, but Shinomiya wants to try other team formation methods.
When Rukawa Kaede heard this, he silently walked to Shinomiya Tanano's side. Tanoda turned around and glanced at the silent handsome boy, smiled kindly, and then turned his head to look at Jinguji Martial Arts, waiting. The second choice of martial arts.
"That big guy, he's from Hainan, Mori Shigehiro."
Jinguji Budo raised his hand and pointed his finger at the crowd, standing behind him, but he was tall and broad, and said with a smile. Shinomiya saw Jinguji's choice of martial arts, and without any hesitation, he directly announced the name of the person he chose: "Uozumi."
Two strong men over two meters tall squeezed out of the crowd at almost the same time and walked to Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano.
Looking at these two big men, Shinomiya's eyes became serious.
Ever since he lost the guessing game, his selection has been led by Jinguji Martial Arts. He felt that the players he chose were no less capable than those selected by Jinguji Martial Arts at the same position.
But seeing the smiling face of Jinguji Budo, Shinomiya Tanano still felt a little uneasy.
"As I expected, Shinomiya's selection has become somewhat solidified. At this stage, I win again."
Budao thought in his mind, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, and then smiled and nodded Sakuragi's name: "Sakuragi Hanamichi."
Being selected by Jinguji Martial Arts, Sakuragi didn't look good. He felt that his "selection" was a little low and he was a little unhappy. After walking silently to Martial Arts' side, Sakuragi put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head, looking extremely unhappy.
Budo glanced at Sakuragi who was a little angry, ignored this guy, and looked at Shinomiya Tano.
Seeing the selection of martial arts candidates, Shinomiya Tano felt a little embarrassed. He frowned and shouted: "Immortal Dao!"
He no longer plans to follow behind Budo in selecting people. At this time, there are two insiders on the court, Akagi and Hanagata, and the Budo team has already chosen Sakuragi Hanamichi and Morishigehiro. Shinomiya Tanano is not worried. Budokai continued to choose the inside line and grabbed Immortal Way early.
In his opinion, his team has Sendao, himself, Uozumi, and Rukawa Kaede, a young rookie, and their combat capabilities are already quite outstanding.
What the Shinomiya Tano team still needs is either a power forward who can strengthen the interior defense, or an outside scorer who does not occupy the ball.
but
Martial Arts did not give Shinomiya Tano a chance to complete the lineup, and directly named Fujima.
Instead of choosing Mike Okita, who was ranked higher in the previous assessment, he chose Kenji Fujima, who was ranked much lower. This choice of Budo went beyond everyone's expectations.
At this time, Tano also limited his choice of inside. He felt that even if there was no pure shooter, their team's outside offense was strong enough, so he chose Takenori Akagi, who has been "unsuccessfully shot" so far.
It was a rare collaboration between orangutans and ape-men. When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Takenori Akagi coming to the Shinomiya field team, his mood suddenly improved. He winked at Akagi and looked like he was watching the show.
Afterwards, Budo successively selected Mike Okita and Miyagi Ryota, and all other players also joined Shinomiya's team.
At this point, the two teams are divided into groups.
After selecting people, no one went to the stadium immediately after dinner.
The restaurant has been divided into two groups at this time, and the players from their respective teams are communicating with each other and discussing how to play in the next practice match.
Coach Tianoka did not intervene in this process and completely let the players perform on their own.
And Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanano are the kind of leader players themselves. Even if there is no coach in the team, the two of them can arrange some tactics according to the team.
The starting team members sent by Martial Arts are themselves, Shinichi Mu, Kenji Fujima, Sakuragi and Shigehiro Mori. As for Mike Okita and Miyagi, Budo briefly communicated with them and planned to let Mike be the first rotation, replacing Fujima or Sakuragi.
As for Miyagi, it was Amu's rotation to give Mu Shenyi enough rest time.
On Shinomiya's side, the arrangement is much easier. Apart from himself, the starting players are Sendō and Rukawa Kaede, and the inside is the two "big black pillars" Akagi and Uozumi. The flower shape serves as the first rotation, providing stable mid-range output when necessary.
As for other players, Shinomiya plans to dispatch them according to the situation.
To be honest, Shinomiya cannot guarantee the playing time of all the players in the team. He is a pragmatist. If he has the ability, he will play. If he does not have the ability, he will not be qualified!
He won't play the trick of rain and dew like martial arts, that's not his style.
After the two sides determined the players to play, under the leadership of Coach Tianoka, they walked towards the outdoor court.
The bright moon hung high, and the spotlights around the stadium illuminated the venue as if it were daytime.
The open-air stadium at night gave people a completely different feeling. After the players walked out of the outdoors, it took a while for their eyes to adjust.
The waves crashed on the beach, and the practice match on the coast was about to break out.
