Taking a step back, if Takenori Akagi goes to Fukasawa Sports University, where will Okawada, who is better than him, go?
Fukasawa Sports University has always been good at cultivating centers, just like Georgetown University, which is known as the 'cradle of centers' in the NCAA and is the first choice for most centers.
The only thing that surprised Uozumi was that he didn't expect that Kazuo Karasawa would bring Shota Sugiyama to visit him. After all, Shota Sugiyama was only in his first year.
It is obvious that Kazuo Karasawa values Sugiyama Shota, and the latter may even have become the starting center and core player of Fukasawa Sports University.
Uozumi didn't know much about Shota Sugiyama, but he heard from coach Taoka that in last year's national competition, Shota Sugiyama single-core led a weak team to the top eight in the country, but was eventually defeated by Sanno.
In the match against Sanno, Shota Sugiyama defeated Sanno inside, but unfortunately his teammates seriously hindered him, resulting in the final loss.
Also a powerful center, Akagi cannot even reach the top eight in the single-core prefecture.
In addition, Shota Sugiyama is probably the strongest one among SD characters, which is evident from his personal resume.
Single-core national top eight, main selection and core of Shenze Sports University, main center of the national team.
"Coach Karasawa, Sugiyama-senpai, hello!"
Uozumi was not enthusiastic because he felt that he would not have much interaction with them.
Without Goldfinger, he might be happy, but with Goldfinger, it would be almost impossible for him to go to an island university after graduating from high school.
Either go to the NCAA or sign up for the NBA draft as a high school student. There is almost no third possibility.
After the two of them sat down again, Yuzhu asked straight to the point: "I wonder why you two came here to see me for something?"
Kazuo Karasawa pretended to cough and said, "I want to know what Uozumi-san thinks of our Fukasawa Sports University?"
"Sorry, I don't know much about Fukasawa Sports University."
Yuzhu shook his head and told the truth.
Kazuo Karasawa and Shota Sugiyama looked at each other, they did not expect Uozumi to be so direct.
"It seems that the popularity of Shenze Sports University has not yet been fully opened, and we need to make persistent efforts to do so."
Kazuo Karasawa deliberately laughed at himself to relax the atmosphere.
However, he also knew that for many people, they would not specifically collect information about Fukasawa Sports University.
"Uozumi, in fact, you must have guessed the purpose of our coming here. I have watched your game videos and I am very optimistic about your future. I hope you can choose our Fukasawa Sports University after graduation."
Kazuo Karasawa no longer hid it, and directly stated his purpose.
"Coach Karaze, I'm only a freshman in high school now, so I won't consider going to college for the time being."
Naturally, Yuzhu would not agree, he looked down upon it.
However, he did not refuse directly, and he left some room to avoid losing the other party's face.
As the coach of Fukasawa Sports University, Karasawa Kazuo is still very energetic in the basketball world of the island nation.
"This is common sense, but I still hope that when you graduate, you can give more consideration to our Shenze Sports University. In addition, the door of Shenze Sports University is always open for you!"
Kazuo Karasawa was not just talking. After watching the game video of Uozumi in the prefectural competition, he was immediately shocked and thought that Uozumi was a rare genius center in the island country in ten years.
He felt that even Shota Sugiyama might not be a match for Uozumi when he was a freshman in high school.
As Fukasawa Sports University is rich in centers, he must recruit Yuzhu.
If Yuzhu goes to another university, this may be a huge threat to Fukasawa Sports University.
"I am very grateful to Coach Karasawa for thinking highly of me. If there is no better choice, I will definitely choose Fukasawa Sports University."
The point is a better choice. Uozumi feels that with his growth rate, unless he suffers a major injury, Fukasawa Sports University will basically have no chance of him.
Uozumi didn't want to continue this topic, and his eyes turned to Sugiyama Shota.
"By the way, I have been a close friend of Sugiyama-senpai for a long time. I wonder if I could have a chance to ask you for advice?"
Regarding Shota Sugiyama, Uozumi really wants to compete. He wants to test his current strength, and Shota Sugiyama is definitely a good reference.
Kazuo Karasawa quickly winked at Shota Sugiyama.
"Can!"
Sugiyama Shota pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes suddenly became fanatical.
He has also watched the video of Yuzhu's game and knows very well that this is an opponent worthy of his all-out efforts.
"Should we go now or wait until after dinner?"
"Now!" "Now!"
Kazuo Karasawa and Shota Sugiyama answered almost simultaneously.
"Okay, let's go to Lingnan University now!"
Yuzhu nodded. On the way out, he took a few bananas to replenish his energy.
Not long ago, he had just fought with Tetsuo and others, and he had not yet returned to his best condition.
But as long as it doesn't last long, it won't have much impact.
Soon, the three of them entered Lingnan University on foot.
The gate of Lingnan University is closed, but Yuzhu has already greeted Coach Tian Gang in advance.
At this time, coach Tian Gang was standing at the door, asking the guard to open the door.
After seeing Kazuo Karasawa, coach Taoka rushed to greet him.
"Coach Karaze, I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Coach Tianoka, you are too kind."
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Coach Tianoka took the three of them to the indoor gymnasium.
Before the duel, Uozumi and Sugiyama Shota began to warm up.
Both of them performed standard warm-up movements and were very patient, so that their bodies could be fully warmed up and avoid malfunction and injury.
On the sidelines, coach Taoka and Kazuo Karasawa exchanged some topics about coaching players.
As the exchange deepened, Kazuo Karasawa became more and more surprised. He did not expect that Coach Taoka, who he regarded as "mediocre", had such rich coaching experience. This was completely beyond his expectation.
Because if it wasn't for Uozumi, he wouldn't even know that there was such a person as Coach Taoka.
Kazuo Karasawa has also seen Shigeichi Taoka's resume. After seeing his achievements in coaching Lingnan for ten years, he originally despised coach Taoka and thought that coach Taoka was nothing more than a guy who got lucky.
Coach Taoka did have great luck, but his own coaching level also surprised Kazuo Karasawa, which also made him start to take this coach seriously.
This is an excellent coach!
Kazuo Karasawa affirmed Coach Taoka’s coaching ability.
He finally understood that the main reason why Coach Tianoka failed to achieve results was that he had had bad luck in the past ten years and had not met a player who was enough to take on the important task.
It wasn't until Yuzhu joined that his luck improved.
Not long after, the two finished warming up and began to compete.
