Mitsuyoshi Anzai ~ A former Japanese national player, he served as the head basketball coach at a famous domestic university after retiring. He had strict training and was known as the "white-haired demon".

Later, he was deeply shocked by the incident involving the player Ryuji Tani, so he chose to resign and returned to his hometown of Kanagawa. He rejected the invitations of many famous high school basketball schools in the county, and finally chose to serve as a basketball coach at the public school Xiangbei High School.

Now he is just an old man who is very pleased to see his children like basketball and play happily.

Therefore, Coach Anzai rarely intervened in the affairs of the basketball team in Xiangbei High School for so many years, and he also adhered to the principle of stimulating interest and cultivating hobbies for the players.

The "white-haired demon" has completely become the "white-haired Buddha" today.

Ryuji Tani is the pain of Coach Anzai's life:

Ryuji Tani is a basketball genius discovered by Coach Anzai in college. He is 200cm tall and agile. He is highly regarded by Coach Anzai and is a freshman who has high hopes for him.

Coach Anzai regarded him as a future gem in the Japanese basketball world, and required Tanizawa as strictly as possible with the standards of a future national player.

But Tanizawa, as the person involved, could not accept such training and pressure, so he flew to the United States on impulse.

He entered a second-tier university in the United States without any preparation, and eventually suffered a "Waterloo" in the American university basketball world due to various reasons such as no improvement in foundation, no growth in technology, and language barriers.

Under the paralysis of regret, pressure and drugs, he chose to end his life in a car accident.

Looking at the kind old man in front of him who was dressed simply, chubby, and looked like a KFC grandfather, Hanamichi could not tell that there was actually a "white-haired demon" similar to "Majin Buu" hidden in him.

"By the way, Fat Buu also looks like Coach Anzai! They are both chubby!" Hanamichi thought with his mind anchored.

As if he could see that Hanamichi was thinking something impolite, Coach Anzai glanced at the players and casually said, "By the way, I came here today because there is a game, with Ryonan High School."

Ryonan High School was still very powerful at this time, the top four in the county. In the previous year's county basketball game, Xiangbei Basketball Team met Ryonan Basketball Team in the first round. Although Akagi Takenori shut out Ryonan's center Yuzumi Jun, they still lost miserably to Ryonan. The reason was that Coach Tanaoka poached the genius Sendo from Tokyo to the Ryonan Basketball Team. He scored 47 points in that game alone.

In short, Akagi completely defeated Yuzumi, and Sendo completely defeated Akagi's four teammates. From this, we can see that a team's strength increases after getting a super rookie.

And this year, Ryonan applied to Xiangbei for a practice game, mainly for two purposes:

One is to see the growth of captain Yuzumi Jun through comparison and enhance Yuzumi's confidence.

After all, he has been re-honing his basics, footwork, etc. in the past year just to defeat Akagi.

Shigeichi Tanaka is very clear about the progress of Yuzumi, the captain of his own basketball team. If there is a most improved award this year, Shigeichi Tanaka thinks that Yuzumi is the best!

Another reason is to observe whether the Xiangbei basketball team with Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi has undergone a huge transformation and whether it has the strength to threaten the Ryonan basketball team.

Yes, although Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi have joined, Shigeichi Tanaka still does not admit that the Xiangbei basketball team can threaten Ryonan. It is not because they cannot get it. After all, they are just two freshmen.

And there is only one reason why Coach Anzai agreed, that is, to let the players of Xiangbei feel the strength of their team and enhance the confidence of the team. At the same time, let this game lose by a small margin, so that the newcomers, especially the super newcomers Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi, can taste the taste of failure.

Coach Anzai knows that one of the best ways to effectively motivate high school students to train hard is to fail!

Taste the taste of failure, then climb up from hell, and get a new life! This is the teaching purpose believed by his friend Mifune Nyudo.

He used to think so in college, but now, with the experience of his beloved student Ryuji Tani, he racked his brains to find such an opportunity in order not to scare away these fragile first-year students, especially because he was afraid that a crushing defeat would hit them too hard and cause them to resign. Otherwise, he would not have found Coach Tanaka of Ryonan to discuss this game together.

This game was discussed by Coach Anzai and Coach Tanaka. Everyone got what they wanted, and even the result was discussed. The screenwriter was Shigeka Tanaka, and the behind-the-scenes planner was Mitsuyoshi Anzai.

Actors: Jun Uozumi, Akira Sendoh, Takenori Akagi, Kaede Rukawa, Hanamichi (Sakuragi), and... etc...

When Coach Anzai said the opponent of the practice match, not only the second-year Yasuda and others, even the vice-captain Mugure Konobu was shocked. It was really a disastrous defeat to Ryonan last year, and now the scars are being opened again. Will they have to be hammered again!

Only three people were unmoved. Akagi was thinking about countermeasures and the trump cards in his hand;

Rukawa Kaede was naturally disdainful. Elite? I will fight the elite, no matter whether you are in the top four!

Hanamichi is a prophet. In the original work, the "weakened" Xiangbei where Hanamichi is located can fight Ryonan on par, not to mention that he is stronger now, and... the fox is also stronger.

Through constant secret competition and observation at night, Hanamichi determined one thing, that the fox's physical fitness has improved to a certain extent. Although it is impossible to fully support the high school basketball game, I believe that what he lacks at this stage is to adapt to the rhythm of the game. As long as he plays one or two high-intensity games, this stinky fox will naturally understand the allocation of physical strength.

And the current Ryonan basketball team is such a good opponent.

As for Hanamichi, Hanamichi said: What? Does physical strength need to be allocated? Isn't it from the beginning to the end!

(Those who know the business can check carefully. After playing against the equally matched opponent from the beginning to two-thirds, Hanamichi's movements were still as agile as at the beginning, which means that if the physical strength is reasonably allocated, Hanamichi's physical strength is enough to play three such games.)

Coach Anxi looked at the players lined up in a row, and said gently as if he realized it after a while: "Wow, there are several more newcomers this year, so now let's have a match between freshmen and seniors!"

Akagi thought about it for a while and understood the purpose of Coach Anxi arranging this intra-team match, which was not only to select the official players to play against Ryonan, but also to observe the strength of all the players.

Akagi thought it was better this way. Hanamichi and Rukawa were like a needle in a bag at the moment. Through this intra-team match, they just stood out and got everyone's recognition with their strength.
