Chapter 117 Rukawa Kaede must be better than him!

In the first half of the match between Shohoku High School and Otaku High School, 11 minutes into the first half, Jinguji Budo, who had scored 19 points, was substituted by coach Anzai. Also substituted with Budo was Shiozaki.

The only first-year players left on the field were Miyagi Ryota, Yasuda Yasharu and Tsunoda Satoru. At the same time, Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi came on as substitutes.

Wu Dao was substituted, and the audience in the stands started talking.

In just 11 minutes of the game, Wu Dao has impressed everyone with his strength. Now that Wu Dao was substituted, many people were puzzled.

"You actually ended up playing for such a short time? Is Xiangbei planning to hide his strength?"

Fujima looked at the two familiar faces, Takenori Akagi and Oishi Chiba, who came on the bench. He was confused and expressed his speculation.

"Suddenly a strong first-year student appeared. I have never heard of him before. He must be a new recruit from northern Hunan, right?"

"Xiangbei is afraid that No. 15 will stay on the court and expose his weaknesses, right?"

Hanagata Toru felt that he had guessed the intention of Coach Anzai. Following Fujima's train of thought, he talked about his speculation with his teammates. Seeing that no one refuted him, he continued:

"Although he didn't play for a long time, the playing style of No. 15 is already very distinctive."

"When defending, the radiation area is not large and is limited to the paint area."

"The offense is slow and the running speed should not be very fast. In the first half of Xiangbei, the focus is on positional warfare, probably to match the rhythm of No. 15."

"The offensive receiving position is very close to the basket. He should not have the ability to make mid-range and long-range shots. The attack distance should not be far."

"The steps under the basket are very skillful, but not complicated. It should only be one move like this."

"He was better than Akagi, who was in the first grade at that time, but he was still too young."

From the competition just now, Hanagata saw the characteristics of martial arts' fighting styles. After inferring these things, Hanagata himself couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. According to his speculation, this year's first-year students in Xiangbei are very good, but

There is still no way to help the team shake their Xiangyang.

"Is this really the case?" Kenji Fujima listened to Hanagata's speculation and nodded silently. After all, there was nothing wrong with what Hanagata said, and it was completely in line with the playing characteristics of No. 15 Shohoku just now.

But Fujima always felt that something crucial was missing. He always felt that the strength shown by Jinguji martial arts was just the tip of the iceberg. Fujima couldn't explain why, it was just an intuition.

Just when several people were discussing the characteristics of Jinguji's martial arts style and the weaknesses that could be exploited, Hasegawa, who was sitting at the end of Xiangyang's team, suddenly narrowed his eyes and whispered:

"That guy! I know who that guy is!"

Hasegawa's voice attracted the attention of his teammates, and everyone in Xiangyang looked towards him.

"Hasegawa, what did you say? Who is that guy?" Fujima Kenji looked at Hasegawa with a puzzled face and asked in confusion.

"Captain, I know who No. 15 from Xiangbei is!"

"That guy is not a newbie at all. He was once a member of the basketball club of Takeshi Middle School!"

Hasegawa said with a confident look, pointing to Jinguji Budo who was sitting on the field drinking water and watching the game.

"What?"

"A member of Takeishi Middle School?"

"Does Takeishi Middle School still have such players?"

Everyone in Xiangyang couldn't help but start talking after hearing this. Xiangyang is a strong basketball player in the county, and they also pay attention to the junior high school games, especially the strong junior high schools. After all, private schools attach great importance to the source of students.

They will pay attention to any school that has good prospects.

But it's obvious that most of them don't know the number 15 from Xiangbei.

"Yes, although the figure is very different from before, and the hairstyle has also changed slightly, there is no mistaking it. That guy was once a member of Takeishi Middle School."

"That person entered the national competition with Takeshi when he was in the first grade of junior high school. But later I heard that one of Takeshi's players assaulted an opponent during the national competition and was suspended."

"So I didn't participate in competitions for two years after junior high school."

"The person who was banned is the No. 15 from Xiangbei!"

Hasegawa knew Takeshi High School quite well, and even Budo, who only played one competition in Takeshi and then disappeared, left an impression on him.

After Hasegawa finished speaking, some of the Xiangyang players finally remembered what happened. Some of the Xiangyang players were locals. They were on basketball teams of various schools when they were in junior high school. The martial arts ban was caused by the ban.

It's very big. Many people have heard of it, but they don't know who was specifically banned. After all, the news media in this era were newspapers and magazines, and the reports back then did not include photos of explosive martial arts.

Many people actually don't know about martial arts. The reason why Hasegawa knows about it is because he happened to compete with Takeshi Middle School when he was in junior high school, and he was deeply impressed by the people in Takeshi, and he still has an impression of the face of Takeshi.

If you were to change someone else, you would still be able to recognize martial arts after two years after meeting someone once and playing a ball game.

"The junior high school student who entered the national competition with Takeishi? The player who returned to the court after being suspended."

"Hasegawa, what kind of player is that No. 15?"

Kenji Fujima pondered for a long time and asked Hasegawa. Fujima was somewhat eager to get to know this newcomer from Shohoku. In Group B, their biggest opponent in Xiangyang was Shohoku High School. And the playing characteristics of Jinguji Martial Arts will

It will be directly related to the way Xiangyang responds to Xiangbei in the future.

In Fujima's view, no other team in this group could stop Shohoku's progress except Xiangyang.

"It's completely different from what Hanagata just guessed."

"When he was in junior high school, he mainly focused on shooting, and that guy moved very fast and was very good at cutting."

"At that time, Takeshi Junior High School had Hisaka Mitsui as the core of its offense."

Hasegawa stared at Jinguji Budo who was sitting in the rest area at this time, and said to his teammates. Budo seemed to have noticed that someone was staring at him, and subconsciously looked towards the stands, and happened to see everyone in Xiangyang.

.

"As for the people from Xiangyang, that one must be Fujima. The little thing looks really unique. He is half as charming as me."

"That one should be in the shape of a flower. He's polite and frail. He doesn't look like he's playing basketball."

"The hedgehog head should be Hasegawa, a wandering version of Sendō who only has one hairstyle. I wonder if I can say that I suppressed the mistress's score to 5 points when I met Hisashi Mitsui."

Jinguji Martial Arts swept through Xiangyang's team members one by one. He could recognize some of the players, but he didn't recognize most of them. After looking at them for a while, Martial Arts withdrew his gaze and looked at the people in the stadium.

Contest.

After Shohoku made a substitution, Akagi Takenori and Chiba Oishi came on the field. After Budo left the field, Shohoku's firepower dropped significantly.

Shohoku's shooting rights are concentrated in the hands of Takenori Akagi and Ryota Miyagi, and Oishi Chiba also took the initiative to hit a few goals. Although both Akagi and Chiba have quite good shooting percentages in the paint, the basketball performance of the entire Shohoku team

The turnover performance is obviously much worse than before.

Miyagi also took a lot of shots, but his shooting percentage was very average. The appearance of a large number of rebounds made Shohoku's offense look unsmooth.

Fortunately, Takenori Akagi and Oishi Chiba guarded the basket and ensured Shohoku's rebounding, which allowed the two teams to maintain a stable score.

Coach Anzai obviously had the idea of ​​​​training, and Miyagi Ryota also knew what coach Anzai had in mind. He seized the opportunity to beat the weak team, made crazy moves, and turned into a blacksmith.

The players of Dazhai High School saw the score getting bigger and bigger, but they did not give up the game and worked hard on the court.

However, in a basketball game, hard work does not lead to results. Although every one of Otaku's players worked very hard, and even the player guarding Miyagi had leg cramps from running, there was still no way to stop the score difference between the two teams.

expansion.

By the end of the first half, Shohoku High School's score had reached 42 points, while Otaku's score was only 16 points. During the halftime break, coach Anzai replaced Tsunoda Satoru and Miyagi Ryota and replaced Mitsui.

Kotobu Kotobu and Kimetsu nobu and Yasuda Yasharu were still left on the field by coach Anzai.

"Yasuda, you played well in the first half, and you must continue to do so in the second half!"

"Kakuda, your physical training needs to be strengthened from now on. It's just half the game and it's already too much for you. This kind of physical condition is not good!"

"Shiozaki, you need to increase your basic training. It seems that the intensity before is still low."

During the break, Hisashi Mitsui pointed out the problems of several first-year players who got the opportunity to play. The lesson was also accompanied by encouragement. Coach Anzai looked at this scene with a smile and was very satisfied with the performance of Hisashi Mitsui now.

leadership qualities.

"The difference between the images influenced by Coach Anxi and me is really huge!"

"Looking at the replacement, he should be training Yasuda Yasharu, right? This guy has a very stable mentality. Although he is a rookie, he has the demeanor of a general. If he is well trained, he can be a good player in high school, not to mention playing professionally."

In Budo's mind, Coach Anzai is the kind of coach who doesn't care about the team, regardless of the improvement of the players' personal abilities, the team's tactical planning, or the psychological growth of the players. After all, Coach Anzai can let Mitsui Hisashi go astray and let Akagi Tsuyoshi go.

The coach who ruined the team and allowed Xiangbei to fish at the bottom.

Even after an outstanding talent like Rukawa Kaede joined Shohoku, Coach Anzai did not give Rukawa Kaede any technical guidance. Only when Rukawa Kaede went to Coach Anzai and told him that he was going to the United States, did Coach Anzai think of himself.

A former student, I tried to dissuade Rukawa Kaede.

Only when facing a genius of Hanamichi Sakuragi's caliber will Coach Anzai really calm down and guide Sakuragi to grow.

But what kind of talent is Hanamichi Sakuragi? A monster who has not undergone any professional training, has not really developed, has grown to 188cm, is only 16 years old, but can hit the backboard with his head.

A boy with no hair at all can knock his head against a backboard. Even if he is well-informed in martial arts, he has never seen such a person.

Coach Anxi is interested in coaching only when facing this kind of monster. What about others?

However, the image of Coach Anzai has been subverted in the minds of martial arts, because everything Coach Anzai is doing now is to prepare for Shohoku High School to break into the country. Whether it is training or training young players, it is to deepen the

With the depth of Shohoku's bench, it's obvious that Coach Anzai also clearly knows that relying on the main force will not help Shohoku dominate the country.

Today's Coach Anxi is no longer the fat old man with a Buddhist mentality, and his ambitions have also been revealed. Although Coach Anxi still speaks softly, the training intensity of the basketball team is not what a weak team should have.

Training intensity.

Just when Wu Dao was thinking wildly, the second half of the game had already begun.

At this time, the five people in Shohoku on the court, except for Yasuda, can be regarded as the main players in the past. After Mitsui Hisashi came on the field, he took over the offensive banner and led the team to completely destroy Otaku High School.

After entering garbage time, Coach Anxi changed to the first grade except martial arts until the end of the game.

88:61, Xiangbei took the lead by a big score, but it also saved some face for Dazhao, and did not let them lose too ugly.

After the game, Xiangbei lined up and shook hands with the Otaku players one by one. He was a strong Otaku player on the court. At this stage, several players cried out of frustration.

Jinguji Martial Arts can understand the loss of these young people, but competitive sports are so cruel.

After the game, the Xiangbei players did not watch the next game and left the gym with the team. Today's game for the Xiangbei players was just a practice with substandard intensity. After the game, the Xiangbei players still had to practice

The school will train for a while to keep everyone in competitive shape.

The next game is three days later, so Xiangbei has plenty of time to adjust the players' condition.

In the evening, Takenori Akagi had just opened the door of his house after finishing his training for the day. Haruko Akagi trotted up to him excitedly and congratulated: "Congratulations, brother, for your first victory!"

Akagi Haruko has been excited for a day after watching today's Shohoku game. She is also a fan and knows the level of high school basketball teams very well. The strength shown by Shohoku High School today is obviously much higher than other schools.

"Haha, there is nothing to be happy about. You deserve victory." Akagi said while holding the bag in one hand and changing his shoes. Haruko took Akagi's bag diligently and happily took Akagi to the restaurant.

"Brother, is the No. 15 on your team the one you said scored 55 points against Lingnan last time?"

Haruko asked excitedly, with curiosity on her face.

"Huh? It's him. Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Takenori Akagi scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Brother, then you must go to Rukawa Kaede's game! Takeishi's game will be the day after tomorrow, and the junior high school schedule should be faster, the day after tomorrow is 8 into 4."

"I can guarantee that Rukawa Kaede is definitely better than him! If you see Rukawa Kaede's ability, you will be surprised!"

Akagi Haruko stood in front of Takenori Akagi and opened her arms, excitedly hugging Rukawa Kaede. The attitude of her sister's stupid fan made Akagi a little speechless.

"Better than him? You know after just one game that Rukawa Kaede is better than him?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, that kid in martial arts has more than just this ability. He was already very restrained in today's competition."

Although Takenori Akagi is not that close to Budo, the guy who hangs out with Hisashi Mitsui all day long, Akagi still quite recognizes his teammate's ability. He doesn't think that a junior high school student has the ability to surpass Jingu.

Temple martial arts.

"Brother, really, go and have a look, you won't be disappointed!"

"What I said is absolutely true!"

Haruko entangled Takenori Akagi and pulled Akagi's arm, as if she would not let go until Akagi watched Rukawa Kaede's game.

"Okay. Okay, just go and have a look."

"The day after tomorrow, right? I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go with you to take a look."

"But what's the use of me going to take a look? Rukawa Kaede may not necessarily join Shohoku in the future. If he is really as good as you say, some teams will beg him to go to those schools."

Akagi reluctantly agreed to Haruko's request, but still expressed his thoughts.

"Senior Mitsui! Let Captain Mitsui go and have a look! He must also be curious about Takeshi's current level."

"Mitsui-senpai is Rukawa Kaede's senior. If he goes to find Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede will definitely go to Shohoku."

Seeing that her brother had agreed, Akagi Haruko jumped up happily, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and pulled Akagi and said. Akagi agreed perfunctorily, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "Let's talk to Mitsui, will he go?"

It's up to him to decide to go, not me."
