Ten days later, Lingnan University Basketball Stadium.
Brush ~ brush ~ Peng ~ brush ~
On half of the court, Yuzhu is constantly practicing shooting.
Since returning to Kanagawa, Uozumi has resumed his previous life rhythm.
Even though he led the team to win the Autumn National Sports Championship, Uozumi never slacked off because he set a goal for himself, which was to become the number one high school student in the country before Kashima Maple Shuang graduated.
Although Kashima MapleShuang graduated and the top high school student in the country was likely to fall on his head, he hoped that the title would be won by himself rather than as a "charity".
Setting short-term goals for yourself is also the source of motivation for Yuzhu to make continuous progress.
By completing small goals one by one and accumulating them in the end, he can stand on the top of the mountain faster.
Since there is not much potential to be tapped in other data, Yuzhu's training mainly focuses on ball control and shooting.
As for the three-pointer, what is it!
Even in the small ball era, three-pointers are of little use to him.
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. Putting aside this point, the question is if the centers are all shooting three-pointers, then who is going to grab offensive rebounds?
The main problem with the decline of centers in the small ball era lies in rule changes and the absence of an epoch-making center.
He must turn his potential into strength as soon as possible to prepare for the winter season.
Yuzhu is very aware of Lingnan's shortcomings. There is no shortage of excellent role players, but it is difficult to find players who can help him share the scoring pressure.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary opponent, but once he encountered Sanno Industries and Hakata Shoda Affiliates, except for him, the other four positions would most likely be at a disadvantage, and it would be difficult to bring him much help.
Therefore, if he wants to defeat these two traditional college giants, he must be strong enough.
In this half, in addition to Yuzhu, there are two caddies who are responsible for picking up the ball, and one caddy who is responsible for recording.
They are all Lingnan's reserve players, also known as reserve players.
They can't play for the time being, but they are happy to play for Yuzhu.
In half a year, the prestige of the Yuzu Lingnan team has already surpassed Yusaku Ozawa and is catching up with coach Taoka.
Not far away, Chishang held his knees and gasped: "Huh, coach, Yuzhu's mid-range shot is getting more and more stable!"
Coach Taoka's training intensity is not just talk, just like Uozumi in the original work, he was immediately vomited from exhaustion.
Coach Taoka was still wearing his green vest and said with great satisfaction: "Uozumi has developed a new weapon. This is good news for us!"
Uozumi has developed a mid-range shot, which means that his attack range has been greatly expanded and his arsenal will become richer.
It must be said here that Coach Taoka no longer interferes with Uozumi's training, nor will he supervise Uozumi, because he knows that is not necessary.
From the time Uozumi joined Lingnan until now, he has been the hardest-trained player in Lingnan, bar none.
Coach Taoka was also surprised as to why Uozumi worked so hard and never stopped moving forward even though he was so strong.
In fact, the reason why Uozumi didn't slack off was not only because Coach Taoka was strict enough, but also because he could see progress at any time from the data panel.
If a person can see his progress all the time, it is like playing a game. It is easy to get addicted until there is no progress.
Another advantage of upgrading the Ironman badge to the golden stage is that he is no longer afraid of injury and can train more confidently and boldly.
This also makes his progress very visible to the naked eye. The fastest improvement is undoubtedly the mid-range shot. In ten days, his mid-range shot has exceeded 70. I believe that he can go further by the winter games.
The teammates were very happy to feel the visible progress of Uozumi, which also made them work harder. They did not want to be a burden.
Correct
On the side, Ozawa Yusaku made a suggestion: "Maybe it can become our Lingnan's secret weapon, and we can catch the opponent by surprise!"
"That makes sense!"
Coach Taoka approved the proposal.
With Lingnan's strength, when dealing with ordinary teams or even strong teams, Yuzhu only needs to hold back and fight, and only when he encounters a top-four team is it worthy of him to go all out.
At this time, the door to the arena opened, and a tall, muscular figure walked into the arena. It was Naito Tetsuya.
Under the light of dusk, Naito Tetsuya's bald head looked shining and dazzling.
"Naito, you came just in time, come and train with me!"
As soon as he saw Naito Tetsuya, Uozumi immediately started shouting.
"Uozumi-senpai, I'm coming right now!"
Tetsuya Naito quickly changed his jersey. He didn't warm up because he ran here from school.
During this period, Tetsuya Naito was obsessed with basketball and would come over for training every afternoon after school.
In addition to various basic skills, Naito often serves as Uozumi's sparring partner due to his physical condition.
Coach Taoka made a short-term plan for Naito. Since Naito has not completely forgotten the bad habits of football, he hopes that Naito will start from defense.
At the beginning, because Naito's physical fitness was so good, he only needed to rely on physical fitness to restrict the other inside players except Uozumi.
It's not that Naito's defense is so good, it's mainly because Lingnan's inside players, except for Uozumi, are all blue-collar players. Their offensive skills are single, and their offensive range is limited to the paint area.
Therefore, Coach Taoka had to hand Naito over to Uozumi.
In this way, Naito became Uozumi's exclusive companion.
Naito's physical fitness is indeed excellent. Not only can he withstand Uozumi's impact, but he can also keep up with Uozumi's footsteps. Those who don't know better think that this guy is a black man wearing yellow skin.
The only problem is that the defensive skills and positioning are too poor, and occasionally there are some low-level mistakes that need to be constantly adjusted.
It often takes a lot of time to develop an excellent center.
If there are excellent center coaches, this process can be shortened.
There is no doubt that Uozumi is definitely an excellent center, and because he was a school team coach in his previous life, he has certain experience in training players.
"Naito, how many times have I told you, you must remember to hold back."
"You have a problem with your footwork. You must forget the habits brought about by rugby as soon as possible."
"You're too easy to defeat. Listen, with your physical fitness, as long as you don't meet me, you can come first when you encounter an ordinary center."
…
In the following process, Uozumi continued to train Naito's defense.
It wasn't until nearly six o'clock that Naito finally left the arena and prepared to go home.
Just as he was leaving Lingnan University, suddenly, a middle-aged man with a big belly blocked his way.
