Gao Touli has watched the video of the game between Shohoku and Xiangyang, and has a good understanding of Takenori Akagi's strength. This is also the most basic quality for a coach.
Although Takenori Akagi is still a first-year player, Gao Touri believes that he has become an excellent center and his future potential is likely to be higher than that of Takasago Kazuma.
Like Coach Kaneda, Coach Gaotou also feels resentful about not recruiting Takenori Akagi at the beginning, especially since Hainan Affiliated High School was the first stop after graduating from Junior High School.
It's a pity that Takenori Akagi was about the same height as an ordinary center at the time. The key was that his performance in trial training was abysmal, which is why Gotouri didn't take a fancy to him.
As a result, he found that he had been blinded. He never expected Takenori Akagi to grow up so fast. His performance in the county competition was completely different from his performance in the trials in Hainan and Xiangyang.
To be honest, it is not an ordinary pity for Coach Gaotou. After all, Ikeda and Hiroshi are about to graduate, and it will be difficult for other centers to fill this vacancy.
"Takasago, try it first!"
Gaotouli thought for a while, and finally sent out Takasago Kazuma, so as to find out the current strength of Takenori Akagi.
Compared with Kuragimine, the current Takasago Kazuma is inferior in terms of skills and competition experience.
"Yes, coach!"
Takasago jumped out of the queue and came to Akagi Takenori.
At this time, the players present stopped training and began to gather around the half court to watch the excitement.
In terms of height and body shape, Takasago Kazuma is one size smaller.
"These two people are so similar!"
"Isn't it possible that Kazuma Takasago is Takenori Akagi's left-behind brother?"
…
Many players were dumbfounded when they saw that the two looked very similar.
At this time, the referee began to announce the challenge rules.
The rules are very simple, each player scores ten goals, and the person with the fewest scores is eliminated.
The referee tosses up a coin and uses a coin-guessing technique to determine the right to attack.
Takenori Akagi had good luck and won the right to attack first.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his movements seem a bit stiff.
Takasago Kazuma was very cautious, thinking that Takenori Akagi was trying to deceive him, so he took a solid defense.
However, when the two came into contact, Takasago Kazuma began to fight against Takenori Akagi.
Pa~
Kazuma Takasago stared at Takenori Akagi in stunned silence, because Takenori Akagi's dribbling hit the instep and took it out directly from the sideline.
Such low-level mistakes are often only made by novices.
"Akagi is still too nervous!"
On the side, Yuzhu crossed his hands and shook his head.
He is very aware of Takenori Akagi's strength. Although his dribbling is not very good, he has reached the passing line.
Takenori Akagi is also too easily nervous, and his concentration is not very concentrated, which is why he made such a low-level mistake.
Takenori Akagi, who has been playing basketball since elementary school, found it unbelievable that he could hit his foot while dribbling in high school. The only explanation is that he was not performing properly.
Takenori Akagi's willpower and perseverance are not weak, but many people think that he is the player with the worst psychological quality among the Five Tigers of Northern Hunan.
They believe that Takenori Akagi is better at playing with the wind and can show off his power when facing a weak opponent, but he is prone to mental collapse and unbalanced performance against strong opponents.
At the same time, Takenori Akagi is also easily nervous, and there are many examples.
Playing against Xiangyang for the first time, Takenori Akagi made a nervous jump ball mistake.
In the match against Lingnan, Takenori Akagi was timid at the beginning because he was afraid of injuring his ankle again, and was suppressed by Yuzhu. When Uozumi ended the game due to foul trouble, Akagi Takenori began to descend from the gods again, pressing Lingnan's substitute center Guanping to the ground and rubbing him. Until Uozumi came on the stage again after his awakening, Akagi was once again suppressed by Uozumi, and was even beaten and lost by Uozumi!
Finally, it’s Sanno Industries. Takenori Akagi started to doubt himself just by watching the video. After getting on the court, he was abused by Ohda to the point where he doubted his life. He was completely lost, and his mentality even collapsed to the point of committing some things like second dribbling. A low-level mistake.
After Takenori Akagi made a low-level mistake, the ball changed and Kazuma Takasago began to attack.
During this period, Takasago Kazuma's skills were relatively rough. He was good at squeezing and hitting hard, and he also had certain inside moves. The paint area was his offensive range.
As for Takenori Akagi, he is simply an enhanced version of him.
Logically speaking, Akagi Takenori's defense is very good, and his height, weight and physical fitness are all higher than Takasago Kazuma. It will definitely be difficult for Takasago Kazuma to score.
As a result, Takenori Akagi was like a wooden stake, and Kazuma Takasago easily used his footsteps to break through and score a slam dunk.
The next moment, it was Takenori Akagi's turn to attack again.
While Takasago Kazuma took the initiative to fight, he tried to reach out and hit the basketball.
Pa~
Even Takasago Kazuma himself did not expect that he could complete the steal so easily.
When Takasago Kazuma attacked, he broke through Takenori Akagi again, and Takenori Akagi was even knocked down.
shock!
At this moment, Coach Kaneda's expression was very ugly.
He looked at Uozumi subconsciously, as if to say, 'Didn't you say Takenori Akagi is comparable to Kazuhiro Ikeda, that's it! '.
"Coach, he's too nervous!"
Uozumi spread his hands, he was also helpless. Takenori Akagi was not like this when he was dueling with him.
"Akagi has too many distracting thoughts and easily gets lost and doubts himself!"
Seeing Takenori Akagi being suppressed by Kazuma Takasago, Uozumi couldn't help but shook his head.
On the other side, Gao Touli breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on his face, he opened the paper fan in his hand, and tried to look calm and relaxed.
It's just that his gorilla face is too inappropriate for the scene.
One thing is very strange. Hanamichi Sakuragi gave Akagi and others monkey nicknames, but he did not give a nickname to Gotouri, who is most like a gorilla. Maybe it is because Gotouri is not a player.
"My Healing Game"
At this time, the basketball slowly rolled to Yuzhu's feet.
Looking at Takenori Akagi who was still sitting on the floor in a daze, Uozumi picked up the basketball and smashed it directly into his head.
Pa~
The basketball hit Takenori Akagi's face and knocked him to the ground.
After Sakuragi and the Goryeo referee, Akagi became Uozumi's third headshot target.
Takenori Akagi lay on the ground as if dead, motionless and did not get up for a long time.
At this time, Uozumi walked up to Akagi and looked down at him condescendingly.
"Akagi, didn't you say that your dream is to dominate the country?
Now the opportunity is given to you, but as a result, you don’t even dare to take the first step, so how can you talk about dominating the country? Do you want to dominate the country by embracing Mitsui’s thigh?
Akagi, you disappoint me so much, you are not worthy of being my opponent! "
As soon as Uozumi finished speaking, Takenori Akagi's eyes instantly became sharp.
"Uozumi, are Mitsui's thighs as thick as mine? No!
I am the thigh!
I was just distracted for a moment, you will see my true strength later! "
Takenori Akagi shook his head, stood up from the ground, and looked up into Uozumi's eyes.
