Chapter 30: What is most lacking
It was a sunny morning on October 26th!
Yang Zifeng got up very early, because he made an appointment with someone, the person he had always wanted to meet.
When he saw the person he had always wanted to see at the door of the hotel, he couldn't hold back any longer, and ran over to hug her and turned around twice!
"I hate it, let me go quickly, be careful for others to see!" He Yitong said embarrassedly at this time.
"You know, I've been missing you for the past two months. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Yes, we are big celebrities, there are so many beautiful women around you, don't forget that I'm good. He Yitong said with a smile.
"Why, let's go, let's go for a run!" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Okay!" He Yitong said with a smile.
The air in Japan in the morning is nice and the sky is blue, perfect for running!
Yang Zifeng and He Yitong ran together on the road in front of their hotel......
"Zifeng, the relationship between the two of us must be kept secret, it is forbidden to fall in love in our training camp, if the coach knows, he may not be able to punish me!" He Yitong said to Yang Zifeng.
"What is this rule called, as long as you don't delay training, you can fall in love and don't break the law, you see that Maizi is different, there is no prohibition on falling in love in our team rules!" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"After all, Mai Xiang's ideas are different from ordinary people, no one can figure it out, our coach Wu Tang is different, during the time I got along with him, I found that he is a coach who follows traditional training, so his thinking is also very traditional. He Yitong said.
"This is not good, the most taboo thing in basketball is to follow the rules, if you don't have absolute strength, it will be very dangerous to follow the rules. Yang Zifeng said.
"After all, he is a coach, and whatever he says, we can only do!" He Yitong said.
"That's right...... , by the way, tomorrow the game will officially start, it seems that your women's basketball team is one day earlier than us, who is your first opponent?" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"A total of 16 countries and regions (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, North Korea, Mongolia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, Palestine, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India) participated in the men's and women's basketball competitions, divided into four groups A, B, C, D, the top two in each group qualified, and then the knockout round, we and Japan, Jordan and Kazakhstan were placed in Group A. He Yitong said.
"Won't you be playing against ...... in your first game Team Japan!" Yang Zifeng said.
"You're right, Zi Kaede!" Imagawa said with a smile.
"Then will you play?" Yang Zifeng asked with a smile.
"It shouldn't be ......" He Yitong shook his head and said, "The Japanese team is a very strong opponent, I heard Senior Sister Zhuang Yan say that the Japanese team is a very difficult bone to gnaw, and I, as the third substitute who can only get a chance to play in garbage time, if the score is deadlocked, I shouldn't have a chance to play." ”
"You're a distraction artifact, how can you not play?" Yang Zifeng said.
"Don't be funny!" He Yitong said with a smile at this time, "The street court is different from a regular basketball game!"
"The Japanese women's basketball team is very strong, so you have to be careful. Yang Zifeng said.
"It's okay, our martial arts coach said that although the Japanese are fast, their height is not dominant, as long as we play at a normal level, we should be able to win this game!" He Yitong said confidently.
"No, Yitong, I feel that you will be in danger tomorrow. Yang Zifeng suddenly said seriously at this time.
"Ah, why do you say that?" He Yitong asked.
"It feels ......," Shen Qingzhi said.
"I know, you're going to say that their center is very good, right, but our coach said that the Tigers can't fight the wolves, as long as we play to the strengths of our team. He Yitong said.
"No, it's not certain who the wolves are, Yitong, they also have an extremely powerful character, and it is very likely that it will be the key to determining the outcome of the victory!" Yang Zifeng said.
"Who?" He Yitong asked curiously.
"Their main point guard, Maki Oda, who is 170 cm tall!" Yang Zifeng said.
"With a height of 170, it shouldn't be a big threat......" He Yitong said with a smile.
"Quietly on the contrary, I feel that our guard line is very likely to be blown up by her, this person is really powerful, although I can't find any video materials of her on the Internet, but I can be sure!" Yang Zifeng said.
"Well, when I get back, I'll talk to the coach about it. He Yitong looked at Yang Zifeng's serious appearance and realized the seriousness of this matter.
At this time, the sun had slowly risen from the east, and the morning light shone on the bodies of the two runners, which was particularly comfortable.
"Yitong, I want to ask you something?" Yang Zifeng said at this time.
"What's the matter?" He Yitong asked.
"Do you really not care about your playing time?" Yang Zifeng asked.
"I don't care, because my strength is limited, and I don't have that kind of talent. He Yitong said with a smile.
"But if the team is in a moment of great crisis and your teammates on the pitch are helpless, do you have that strong desire to play?"
"I ...... I don't know...... , maybe, but even if I go up, what can I do?" He Yitong said in a low voice.
At this time, Yang Zifeng found that in He Yitong's heart, what he lacked most was confidence......
In the battle room of the Sakura Sports Center, the Japanese women's team members, along with Koichi Tsuruta and his two assistant coaches, are discussing the match they will face tomorrow.
"Players, tomorrow we will come up to face the strongest opponent in the Asian Championships, the Chinese team! Last year, they beat us by five points, but don't forget that last year's ace Du Jia was not there at all. So this year we're going to get back everything we lost, do you have that confidence!" said Koichi Tsuruta as he looked at her teammates.
"Yes!" shouted all the team members.
"Very good, I like this momentum!" Koichi Tsuruta nodded with satisfaction, "According to the Chinese team's style of play, we have been doing targeted training, today we will summarize the experience of dealing with the Chinese team, you first express your views on the Chinese team, Lei Meng, you say it first!"
"It's okay to ......," Du Jialeimeng took out her own notes and said, "The characteristics of the Chinese team are that they are all taller and shoot accurately, and each of their players is much heavier than us, and their playing style under the basket is also very delicate." However, they have a fatal shortcoming, that is, slow speed, no good point guards to deploy offense, although we are not as big as them, but we have to rely on our speed to make up for our lack of height, to constantly cut without the ball, cover without the ball, press the defense, force them to make mistakes, our three-point shot is also a big advantage, we have to use the speed to let them shrink the defense, and then continue to pass the ball, out of the three-point space!"
"That's a good point, Reimu!" Tsuruta said with a little satisfaction.
"In addition to the one you mentioned, they actually have a very fatal flaw...... "At this time, Oda Maki suddenly said.
"Huh, what are the shortcomings?" everyone looked at Maki Oda.
In the past two days, book friends have been voting for monthly tickets, so today I added more, hehe......
