Slam Dunk Fox Rukawa

Soon on September 1st, the second semester of Rukawa's junior high school started, and the American high school across the ocean also started. Coach Smith went back to the United States for two days and selected a few players from the new students to join the team.

He temporarily handed over the team to the assistant coach, and then returned to Kanagawa Prefecture to continue training Rukawa for three months. Originally this was a bit derelict of duty, but who told Rukawa that he is now the largest director of Oak Hill High School, and Rukawa is also

He has been absorbing Oak Hill's shares and plans to directly make the school privately owned in the future, so Coach Smith's approach has not been blocked by the school. After all, it's not that he won't come back, he just comes back for a few days at night.

Rukawa and the others cherished the last three weeks of training. Even Sakuragi, who had the most hot temper, did not talk back when he was scolded more and more frequently by Coach Smith, who had never smiled at them.

There is no sun or moon in training, and in a blink of an eye, tomorrow will be September 22, the autumnal equinox in Japan, and the day when Coach Smith will return to China, which means that the three-month master-disciple relationship between Rukawa and Mr. Smith will come to an end.

Before the afternoon training started, Coach Smith gave Rukawa and the others a physical test for the last time. Rukawa would not say anything else. Mitsui resumed training a year early and was only 18 years old, so his body was significantly improved compared to the original work.

Owa Yohei has also been strengthened, not to mention the beast Sakuragi. In the original work, after the death of his father, a person grew a non-human body despite living in embarrassment. Now Sakuragi's father is rescued by Rukawa and passes quietly.

Operation, he unknowingly worked in a yacht club, which made Sakuragi's life drastically changed compared to the original work. Although he still blackmailed Rukawa for food with Yohei and the others, he was just a rich man, and Rukawa was indeed paying close attention to him secretly.

Next, the lives of Sakuragi and the five of them are not very wealthy, but they are definitely not short of money. The final test results are as follows:

Coach Smith looked at the data table in front of him. Rukawa Kaede was originally only a first-class physical fitness, but after three months of training, he actually had a tendency to become super-class (that's because the Shaolin Qinggong practiced by Rukawa had already broken through Xiaocheng this summer.

He has reached another level. Although he is still far away from Dacheng, Rukawa's physical fitness has been significantly improved), and the biggest discovery he made during his trip to Japan turned out to be Sakuragi Hanamichi, a man with a long head.

The red curly-haired basketball novice, let alone jumping, what is rare is that at the age of 15, he can bench press 84 kilograms 11 times. This result is a good result even for players who graduated from high school. Denan and

In his eyes, Yohei also changed from a low-level player at the beginning to someone who could barely be a blue-collar substitute if he was well trained. Mitsui's performance was the one that impressed him the most.

Although Mitsui's physical fitness is still third-rate in the eyes of coach Smith, after Rukawa's enlightenment, Mitsui, who has a clear positioning for his basketball career, deliberately strengthened three-point and physical training in training.

He added back-and-forth running, shooting after catching the ball, and borrowed a lot of game videos of Miller and many NBA sharpshooters from Rukawa during the break. In just three months, Mitsui had it.

Become an all-round marksman.

"Well, in the past three months, you have all done well. I am very pleased that you have been able to persevere in my deliberately increased training." Coach Smith put away the physical examination report in his hand and said to Rukawa and the others: "Besides, you have all responded to

It's good that you have a clear positioning for your future basketball career. For many things, you have to act within your capabilities and not be too ambitious. If you are facing the Japanese basketball world, then you can say that Rukawa, Sakuragi and even you Mitsui can do it.

Choose your own position at will. But if you want to look further, beyond Japan, to the United States, to the world, then you can determine your own position as early as possible for your body and adopt targeted training. This will be beneficial to you.

It will be beneficial in my future career.”

Coach Smith paused for a moment before continuing: "I am very happy to be able to train you personally in the past three months. Even though you are not the most physically fit players I have ever trained, your tenacity is definitely unparalleled among the players I have coached.

Losing to any other player. I can say with certainty that no matter how good your body or how good your basketball awareness is, as long as you don’t have a heart that never gives up and never gives up, you will never be able to surpass others.

, to become a true basketball superstar. The most is to become a dunker or a shooting star. A large number of such people will emerge in the NBA every year, and then a large number will wither."

Having said this, Coach Smith said to Rukawa and the others in a very serious voice: "I hope you can remember how you gritted your teeth and persevered when you faced training intensity beyond your imagination every day during these three months.

No one is forcing you, what makes you persist, this is the most valuable wealth you have. If one day, you lose it for some reason, then you will perish."

After hearing Coach Smith's advice to them, Rukawa nodded solemnly and assured Coach Smith: "Yes, coach, no matter how many thorns and bumps there are ahead, no matter what difficulties there are, they can't stop my passionate heart for basketball. I will definitely

My name will be praised by basketball fans around the world, and I will definitely succeed!"

Although Sakuragi, Mitsui and others were not as arrogant as Rukawa said, they also promised Coach Smith that they would never give up basketball and would persist in pursuing their dreams.

After hearing the guarantee from Rukawa and others, Coach Smith patted Rukawa and the others on their shoulders one by one, and then assured them: "As long as you don't give up basketball, then even if I am not by your side to guide you, as long as you put in the basketball every month

Send me the physical examination report via telex, and I will formulate a corresponding training plan for you."

"Thank you so much, coach." After Rukawa and others heard Smith's promise, they all bowed to him to thank him.

"Okay, let's be like this. I'm going back to pack my luggage in the afternoon, and you can train as planned." Coach Smith waved his hand slightly sentimentally, preparing to leave the basketball gym.

Mitsui and others bowed again and sent Coach Smith off.

"Wait, coach." Rukawa ran out of the basketball gym to catch up with coach Smith. After Smith stopped and looked at him, he said: "Coach, a few of our disciples have prepared a Japanese-style feast for you, coach, tonight.

Please be sure to honor me as you see me off."

"Haha, you are too polite, Rukawa, you are still my boss. I will definitely go in the evening. Now you can walk with me for a few steps. I just have something to say to you." Coach Smith may be because of his attitude toward Rukawa and the others.

After the training, he was no longer as serious as usual and asked Rukawa to go out with him.

"Rukawa, although your physical condition is very good, you are not yet at the top level. Sakuragi is better than you in many aspects. But you are the smartest person I have ever seen at your age.

As a player, you can perfectly grasp your own strengths and weaknesses and train your own body. This is something that many players who have played in the NBA for several years cannot do because their bodies are too good. This type of player

People who trust and rely too much on their bodies will be unable to recover once their bodies are seriously injured. I dare say that no player can guarantee that his career will not be injured. God is probably here.

No, so, although Sakuragi's body is better than yours, you are the one I like the most among you students, and this is not because you are my boss." Speaking of this, Coach Smith was still amused.

Just kidding Rukawa.

"So, I hope you can come to the United States to study before graduating from high school. Japan's basketball environment will never catch up with the United States in another 100 years. I don't want to see a player with outstanding athletic talent like you because of the poor training environment.

Of course, if you go to the United States now, I don’t agree with it. After all, your strength and physical toughness are not suitable for the American high school basketball league. I hope you will follow the rules I set for you every day.

Plan to train and come to the United States as soon as possible."

After listening to Coach Smith's advice to him, Rukawa pondered for a moment and then said firmly to Smith: "Yes, coach, I have decided that I will work hard to improve my body and come to the United States as soon as possible to receive your guidance.

"

Rukawa watched Coach Smith get into the car and leave accompanied by Aoki Gongmi and thought to himself, Coach Smith really didn't say anything to him. He had to treat him well tonight no matter what. Forget about the Japanese state banquet-level cuisine that he had originally planned.

I decided to ask Coach Smith to taste a Japanese specialty that is not found in other countries - human body filling.
