Since the Qiuzhi National Sports game, the Xiangbei High School players have returned to their daily training.
However, since Jinguji Martial Arts announced that it will travel to the United States next year, the training atmosphere at Shohoku High School has been very different from before.
The training of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi Ryota began to focus on personal ability training under the deliberate arrangement of martial arts.
As for Kiyota Nobunaga and his first-grade players, Budo also added some explosive training to them in private.
Basketball is a sport that cannot only be trained on basketball during training, but must also be supplemented by training on other things.
Sports performance-related training is a very novel thing for people in this era.
Before Jinguji Budo was about to leave the team, he set aside some of his time to train the juniors of Shohoku High School. He hopes that after he leaves, the talented players in the team can still receive more advanced guidance.
After all, Coach Anxi's ideas for training players are still a bit old-fashioned. What he is best at is getting the players to practice basic skills. Jinguji Budo is not worried that Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others will have problems such as poor dribbling and inability to score in the future.
If they have such problems on the field in the future, it can only be said that there is a problem with Coach Anxi's coaching level, and he has not even laid a solid foundation for them.
What martial arts can bring to Sakuragi and the others is to find ways to increase their talent limit and fully develop their talents!
Although Coach Anxi was unable to understand some of the arrangements made by martial arts for a while, the smart thing about him was that he did not understand. He would not make random comments, nor would he think that martial arts training methods were "useless".
Although Coach Anxi is older, he has never been a rigid person. He is also able to absorb new things and learn new things.
Coach Anzai knew that Jinguji Martial Arts had experience studying in the United States. Coach Anzai just silently recorded the training methods arranged by Jinguji Martial Arts with a camera, and asked the two team managers Ayako and Haruko to record them every once in a while. Player growth and changes.
During the period after Jinguji Budo became a member of the Aki no Kuni Sports team, they focused more on the guidance of their players.
The players can also feel the changes in Jinguji Martial Arts. In the past, Jinguji Martial Arts in the team only focused on their own training. Other players who wanted to ask Martial Arts for advice often had to wait until the regular training was over. .
During extra practice at the gym in the evening, Jinguji Budo would take the time to talk to the players.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Jinguji Budo did not have a captain in the past, but in the minds of the players, Jinguji Budo was the indispensable player for their Shohoku High School.
As long as they are on the court, players can unconditionally trust Jinguji Martial Arts.
The absolute prestige of Jinguji Martial Arts on the court has also been extended to off the court. The players in Shohoku have always respected Jinguji Martial Arts very much.
Feeling the transformation of Jinguji Martial Arts, the players also know that this is because Jinguji Martial Arts is about to leave, so they train harder.
They don't want Jinguji Martial Arts to leave and they don't want to worry about this or that for them.
Several first-year players couldn't wait to prove to Jinguji Budo that they were capable of supporting Shohoku High School.
Before we knew it, it was December.
In just over two months since the autumn national sports competition in October, the Xiangbei High School basketball team has ushered in another large-scale event.
Winter tryouts, also known as Winter Wup.
This is a competition jointly organized by the Neon Basketball Association, the Asahi Shimbun, the second largest media in the country, and the Neon National High School Sports Federation.
Its influence far exceeds that of Autumn Kingdom, and is only lower than that of Xia Tian's IH.
This winter competition will also be the last competition that Jinguji Martial Arts will participate in in Neon.
In early December, winter has entered Kanagawa Prefecture.
It was just after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky had already darkened, with layers of red clouds stacked on the horizon, intertwined with the night.
At dusk, the gymnasium of Shohoku High School was brightly lit.
With less than a week left before the official start of the winter season, the Xiangbei High School basketball team is making final adjustments and carefully preparing for the subsequent winter trials.
Compared with IH, the winter selection competition is more intense in the county competition stage, because during IH, Kanagawa Prefecture has two quotas for the national competition, while in the winter competition, the entire Kanagawa Prefecture has only one quota!
“Squeak—squeak—”
The sound of basketball shoes scraping against the floor can be heard far away, and students passing by are also surprised. They often just look in the direction of the basketball gym and then leave the Xiangbei campus in the dusk.
In the basketball hall, Xiangbei High School is having a practice match.
The two sides in the competition are the first-year main selections headed by Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Their opponents were the second-year team led by Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Nango Koichiro, Katsumi Ichiro and Kiyota Nobunaga often worked together to play practice matches during this period. In addition to Budo and Miyagi, the people they faced were Satoru Tsunoda, Yasuharu Yasuda and Shiozaki.
Shohoku High School is currently facing a huge turmoil due to player changes. The third-year players have been withdrawing from the team for more than half a year. Among the second-year players, only Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota are the two leading players.
However, Jinguji Martial Arts is about to travel to the United States. The first-year players are all very capable, but they are all arrogant guys. After Jinguji Martial Arts withdraws from the team, they don’t know who can lead these troubled teenagers.
At present, Miyagi Ryota is the best candidate for captain, but
The grade is high enough, but the prestige is a bit lower.
This game was actually a game that coach Anzai deliberately arranged before the game to enhance Miyagi Ryota's prestige.
On the court, the player advancing with the ball was Jinguji Budo. After he entered the frontcourt, Rukawa Kaede quickly moved up and ran towards Budo.
Turning slightly sideways, Jinguji Budo raised the ball above his head, shot the ball directly from Rukawa Kaede's head, and gave the ball to Miyagi Ryota, who was making a quick air cut at this time.
Miyagi Ryota took the ball and stepped directly to the free throw line. After a prayer, he opened the door to Sakuragi Hanamichi who came up to defend him. He rushed past Sakuragi and then threw directly.
The outstanding breakthrough skills attracted applause from the players watching the ball around. In the cheers of the people around him, the basketball also fell into the net with a crisp sound.
"Well done, Good Field."
Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota, who returned to defense, high-fived each other and praised each other with a smile.
He turned around and glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines. The score of the two teams reached 21:16. With Miyagi Ryota's goal, the Shohoku players on the side turned the page, turning the scoreboard of Budo's team to 23. , the leading score reached 7 points.
Among the 23 points the team scored, Miyagi Ryota scored 11 points, while Jinguji Budo only scored 5 points by playing two shallow balls.
The remaining points were obtained by Yasuda and Tsunoda.
In this game, Budo acts as a linker, helping Miyagi Ryota and others to score points. So far, the results have been pretty good!
"hateful!"
"This bastard Ryota actually dares to play tricks on this genius!"
"Hey! Wild monkey, you idiot, can you guard your people! Did you know that you missed someone? You missed someone!!!"
In this game, Sakuragi Hanamichi filled in for Kiyota Nobunaga many times and faced off against Miyagi Ryota. However, Sakuragi failed to achieve good defensive results in several supplementary defenses.
This time, it was the third time that Ryota Miyagi scored in front of him.
The angry Sakuragi Hanamichi ran towards the frontcourt and yelled at Kiyota Nobunaga who was about to catch the ball at the baseline.
"What?!"
"Red-haired Monkey, aren't you behind me?"
"I have to be careful of Jinguji-senpai, the stinky fox can't stop him alone."
"Do you know why Jinguji-senpai has only scored five points so far? It's because I am always on guard against him!"
"Can you do your job well and guard against Miyagi-senpai's breakthrough!"
"Be smart! Don't just jump up at me!"
Kiyota Nobunaga would not be angry with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and he would talk back while receiving Nango's serve. Upon hearing this, Sakuragi glared at Kiyota Nobunaga angrily, but Kiyota Nobunaga was not afraid and stared back.
Jinguji Budo, who returned to his position in his own half, looked at Kiyota Nobunaga and Sakuragi Hanamichi who had begun to fight internally. He was speechless and shouted softly to Miyagi Ryota:
"Miyagi, go stop those two idiots!"
After hearing what Budo said, Miyagi Ryota smiled, clapped his hands to attract the attention of Sakuragi and others, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"oops!!"
"How can you be so weak!"
"It seems that the training in the Autumn Kingdom Sports has not had any effect?"
"Martial Arts, look at me. I just ran without the ball and threw away a fool. After getting the ball, I just made a fake move and threw away another fool."
"Tell me, how can I be so strong!"
Miyagi Ryota shouted with a smile. Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga in the distance both heard Miyagi Ryota's words and turned their heads to look at Miyagi Ryota.
Budo was a little stunned. He didn't expect Miyagi Ryota to use this method to persuade Sakuragi and Kiyota who were about to fight. But soon, Budo also reacted and said cooperatively:
"It means you have the talent to play ball!"
"Unlike those who brag, you are truly talented and willing to work hard."
Budo didn't just say this to cooperate with Miyagi Ryota, he also praised Miyagi Ryota from the bottom of his heart.
Today's Miyagi has made great progress compared to when he first joined the team. In the past, Budo paid more attention to Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, and more or less ignored Miyagi's growth.
But in today's game, seeing that Miyagi Ryota was able to play with ease under Kiyota Nobunaga's defense and Sakuragi Hanamichi's replacement, Budo couldn't help but sigh.
Sakuragi and Kiyota in the distance heard the conversation between Budo and Miyagi Ryota, and they closed their mouths at the same time. After looking at each other, they snorted and ran towards the front court.
These two guys are both arrogant and arrogant, and they will never allow anyone to get on top of them!
Even if it is Miyagi Ryota, it is absolutely not allowed!
Soon, Nobunaga Kiyota dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and quickly dribbled the ball from his hips. Nobunaga Kiyota suddenly froze, and Secretary Tong, who was suspended and dribbling, also staggered his steps.
"!"
When Nobunaga Kiyota was doing a suspended dribble, Miyagi Ryota straightened his body, sprinted and swatted the basketball with one hand. And his steal was also expected by Kiyota. He quickly followed up with his left foot. I saw the ball protector on the side of Kiyota Nobunaga's body directly hitting Miyagi's arm, and then accelerated the breakthrough.
"Hahaha!"
"I'm stronger! I'm really a genius!"
One step past Miyagi Ryota, Kiyota Nobunaga got carried away and broke through to the inside. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kiyota Nobunaga, and touched the basketball with one hand.
Nobunaga Kiyota, who was about to shoot the ball, felt his hands were empty, and the basketball had already rolled to the ground. At the same time, Miyagi Ryota's figure quickly passed by Nobunaga Kiyota, grabbing the ball first. in hand.
"Still a long way to go!"
"First grade!"
"I have no intention of giving up my position as the chief point guard of Shohoku High School!"
"If you are not convinced, come and try to grab the ball!"
Miyagi Ryota said, quickly dropped the ball, changed the direction of his body and passed Nobunaga Kiyota cleanly, and then ran quickly towards the frontcourt.
"Ah - what are you doing, idiot! Why don't you pass the ball!" Sakuragi Hanamichi complained to Kiyota and rushed towards Miyagi Ryota. At the same time, Katsumi and Rukawa Kaede had already crossed the center line and returned. The defense speed is quite fast.
Seeing that there was no chance, Miyagi Ryota who entered the frontcourt quickly gave the ball to Budo who was already approaching the top of the arc. As soon as the basketball came out, Miyagi Ryota headed towards the inside.
Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi's attention was attracted by Budo at the moment. When they realized that they missed someone, it was already too late. Budo passed the ball easily with the help of his excellent height.
Miyagi Ryota, who entered the basket, received the basketball, made a light layup, and sent the ball into the basket.
This practice match and Miyagi Ryota's goal are the best epitome of this.
The first-year students have long been accustomed to being wary of Jinguji Budo. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these people are often distracted by the stance and movements of the martial arts, so they always let Miyagi Ryota cut inside to complete the score.
Although the second-year team had five players, it only used two to tear the first-year defense to pieces.
Although Wu Dao and the others could not stop the first-year offense, Wu Dao knew how to protect rebounds. On the premise of protecting backcourt rebounds, Wu Dao and his team had always retained a certain advantage.
As the game progressed, the first-year students also realized how difficult Miyagi Ryota was. Sakuragi Hanamichi was obviously one of the best power forwards in the country, but when facing Miyagi, there was always a feeling that he was not strong enough. .
He always thinks about stealing and stopping Miyagi from entering the paint. This also leads him to like to lower his center of gravity when filling in, so that he can match Miyagi Ryota's speed.
But such a defensive method is precisely to abandon his own jumping advantage and height advantage.
Sakuragi Hanamichi is not good at dealing with players of Miyagi Ryota's size.
At the end of the game, Wu Dao and his team actually won the game with a slight advantage of 87:86.
In this game, Miyagi Ryota scored 44 points to help the team win. Although Jinguji Martial Arts played casually and still scored 28 points, in this game, Miyagi Ryota was the most dazzling one.
Taking advantage of the victory in the game, coach Anxi announced something after gathering the players.
"classmates."
"You all know that Jinguji Budo will go to the United States next year to pursue a higher level of basketball."
"After he left as captain, the team needs a new leader!"
"This should be done sooner rather than later. I think vice-captain Ryota Miyagi should be appointed as the new captain!"
"In the future, Miyagi-san will replace Jinguji-san and continue to lead Shohoku High School to compete for the national championship!"
When Coach Anzai announced this, the players in Xiangbei were all stunned. After the Jinguji Martial Arts coach Anzai finished speaking, he smiled and clapped, celebrating Miyagi.
From today on, Xiangbei High School will enter a new era!
