Chapter 2 Closer to Home

At dawn, there was a chirping of birds outside the window, and the pool lying on the bed opened his slightly hazy eyes, stretched out, and then got up.

His body is almost completely healed, only slightly weakened, but in general he is already able to perform sports.

While washing, Ikegami met his mother in this life, and the years and hard work gradually deprived her of her youth, and she was only in her thirties, and she looked significantly older.

"Son, why is it so early, why don't you kid take more rest!"

"Mom, I'm fine!"

"Then you have to rest more, forget it, you have grown up, Mom won't nag anymore, you just take care of yourself! Breakfast has been prepared and put on the table, and Mom has to rush to work." ”

"I see!"

Mother complained a few words, but Chi Shang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as the saying goes, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, although he has all the memories of Ryoji Chisue, he is always afraid of being seen by his relatives.

After watching his mother leave, Chigami couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, but he also made up his mind that since he had become Ryoji Ikegami and the wood was already in the boat, he would have to bear the family in the future.

After breakfast and a hello to Hideko, Ikegami picked up an old basketball and dribbled it to the nearest basketball court.

"The ball feeling is average, in addition to the lack of ability to hold the ball on the pond, the other thing is that I haven't adapted to this body!"

Chishang, who was dribbling the ball, couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, although Ikegami's body was much better than in the previous life, many things still had to be adapted slowly. Especially in shooting, due to the increase in strength, height and arm span, it is difficult to reach the level of the previous life.

In the early morning, there were no people on the basketball court, and it seemed to be very empty, so Ikegami was naturally able to practice better.

In terms of training methods, Chishang uses a reduced version of Kobe's training method, mainly because his body is still growing, and excessive training is likely to cause the body to collapse and affect physical development.

6 hours a day, 6 days a week, 2 hours of running, 2 hours of shooting, 1 hour of spirometry. As for the 1-hour strength training, he will not practice for the time being, because he is still in the stage of growing his body, and if he really does a lot of strength training, his height growth will be limited, and this hour will become a boring dribble, and in the future, he will slowly seek changes according to his body.

In addition to playing, even if Ikegami has a prophetic memory, this is the world of slam dunk after all, and it may not be much different from the original world, but it is bound to deviate. He doesn't have any high-tech skills, and if he wants to live a good life in the future, he seems to be only pinning his hopes on the hobby of basketball.

As long as you can enter a basketball league like the CBA, it is enough to support your family, if you accidentally enter the NBA, the highest temple of basketball, I am afraid that you will dream of laughing, of course, everything is based on your own strength!

He also has advantages, the skills and awareness honed in his previous life, the current physical fitness and defensive level, these are the advantages he currently has, and once these advantages are fully integrated, he may become the so-called No. 1 high school student in Japan!

Ikegami was sweating profusely on the basketball court, and in the process of shooting a three-point shot, he suddenly found that as long as he concentrated, the scene around him seemed to slow down a lot, and after trying a few times, he realized that this was not an illusion.

It's not that the time of the things around him has slowed down, but that Yang Liangji has fused the memories of Ryoji Ikegami, and there has been a transformation in his soul.

This ability acts in Ikegami's consciousness and allows him to be more nuanced and increase his success rate in breaking, defending, rebounding, and playmaking.

However, after Ikegami experimented with this ability, he found that once he continued to use this ability, his mental consumption would suddenly increase, and even his physical strength would pass faster than usual, and it would be easy to get tired, and with Ikegami's current physical strength, he could only last for twenty minutes.

When he was training in Chishang, his basketball level was improving by leaps and bounds due to the foundation of his previous life, and he could feel the improvement every day, which made him train harder in joy and strive to reach the level of his previous life. It's just that after all, it's another body, and if you want to reach the level of your previous life, you can't practice it back if you climb in the summer.

A few days later, while Ikegami was still sweating on the basketball court, Hideko took a middle-aged man to the basketball court.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a crumpled green outfit and was a little short, but it was the basketball coach of Lingnan High School - Shigeichi Taoka!

When Hideko was about to call Ikegami, Shigeichi Taoka hurriedly stopped her, but instead watched Ikegami's training not far away with great interest, and Hideko finally left in desperation.

"It's strange, this pool is almost the same as the middle school competition, although the others are not visible, but the dribbling and shooting are obviously not on the same level as before. Forget it, this is a good thing anyway, such a level plus defensive ability is completely enough to start even in Lingnan, of course, the premise is how to convince him!"

Shigeichi Ogaoka observed for a long time and came to a conclusion that made him happy, but what he didn't know was that Ikegami had only been training for a few days, and his strength had not recovered much at all. If you wait for the summer to pass, Shigeichi Taoka can't say that his jaw will drop.

It wasn't until Ikegami was tired and resting that Shigeichi Taoka came to Ikegami.

For the arrival of Shigeichi Taoka, Ikegami was also a little surprised, it was one thing to hear it, but it was another thing to see it with his own eyes. Shigeru Taoka, the coach of the Lingnan college basketball team in the top eight of the county, came to him twice for the sake of Ikegami, who was not very outstanding, and said that it would be a lie not to be moved.

Shigeichi Taoka first introduced himself, and then began to talk to Ikegami, not all at once about the purpose of his visit, the content of the conversation was basically basketball.

To the surprise of Shigeichi Taoka, he had a unique insight into the basketball pool, which surprised him, because he was able to do this insight often after years of playing basketball.

In addition, after learning about Ikegami's current training methods, Shigeichi Taoka has a tendency to widen his eyes, he knows that he wants to complete such a training plan, and the difficulty and boredom can be imagined, and he can't help but agree with Ikegami even more. It is believed that as long as the other party perseveres, the personal strength may only get stronger and stronger, and as long as he enters the Lingnan basketball team in the future, the ambition of the basketball team will be realized.

It's just that Tegeichi Taoka, who was originally full of confidence, was a little less confident at this time, mainly because Ryoji Ikegami's strength obviously exceeded his expectations.

"Coach Taoka, I'm going to continue training!" After chatting with Shigeichi Taoka for a while, after the rest of the pool, he naturally knew the purpose of Shigeichi Taoka's visit, but he naturally wouldn't speak first.

Chisue's move is clearly to retreat as advance, but Shigeru Okata is really a little anxious in his heart, in order to enhance the strength of the Lingnan basketball team, Shigeru Tazuoka has a good purpose to say.

"Wait, Chishang-kun, the main reason I'm here this time is to hope that Chishang-kun can enter Lingnan University!"

The corners of Ikegami's mouth, who was facing away from Shigeichi Taoka, pulled out a smile unintuitively, and said, "Oh, Coach Taoka, my junior high school graduation exam is completely able to enter most schools, and Lingnan University is also among them, so it shouldn't be considered a special enrollment!"

"This, there is really no need for special recruitment, but as long as Chishang-kun enters Lingnan University, I will help you apply for a bursary and reduce your tuition!"

Shigeichi Taoka said the end, his voice couldn't help but be a little smaller, when he said this, he was obviously not confident enough, Ryoji Ikegami was neither the basketball MVP of this junior high school, nor was he selected for the best team in junior high school, and the results of the junior high school graduation exam did not reach the results against the sky, and there was almost no hope for applying for a bursary in a private Lingnan university!

On the other hand, Shigeichi Taoka feels that the tuition reduction is too small, and in his opinion, with the current basketball level and effort of Ikegami, I am afraid that many colleges and universities are willing to pay this price!

"Tuition waiver!" Chishang's glasses lit up, his family background was not good, and Lingnan University, which belongs to a private school, was a big burden for a single-parent family like him.

"In this case, I agree to enter Lingnan University!"

Obviously, Chishang's directness was beyond the surprise of Shigeichi Koka, and Ikegami did not hesitate at all, which made Shigeru Takata say unconsciously: "Can you tell me the reason? With your current level of basketball, even if you enter Hainan and Xiangwen, you may be qualified to start!"

Ikegami dragged his chin as if he had been thinking for a long time before he said something that made Shigeichi Taoka fall down.

"Close to home!"

Shigeichi Tian Oka opened his mouth with difficulty, with an expression of eating Yonedako, and he thought of many aspects before hearing the answer, such as the strong faculty of Lingnan University and the top eight of the county basketball team, but he didn't think of this reason.

And Chigami is a little evil in his heart, he suddenly looks forward to the scene when Taoka Shigeichi wants to invite Rukawa Kaede two years later, and then Takaka Shigeichi is afraid that he will go crazy, and he may have the emotion of 'Takayama Yangzhi' for the three words "close to home".

Shigeichi Taoka forcibly calmed his mind, and naturally sketched out several colleges and universities near Ikegami's house in his mind, and roughly calculated the distance, it seems that Ikegami's house is indeed the closest to Lingnan University!

Shigeichi Taoka and Ikegami chatted a few more words before turning to leave.

After solving the choice of colleges and universities, Chishang fell into boring practice again, quickly adapting to this body, and his strength was still improving rapidly.

Speaking of the departing Shigeichi Taoka, his heart was filled with joy and sorrow, happy that Chigami agreed to join Lingnan University, sad that he couldn't think of a reason to apply for a bursary, but since he agreed, he had to do it.
