After the end of the county competition, it was more than a month before the start of the national competition, and during this spare time, Lingnan not only did not stop training, but spontaneously strengthened the training intensity.

As the coach of Lingnan, Shigeichi Taoka originally wanted to find one or two teams of equal strength to play practice matches to increase the team's experience in national competitions. However, since I had not participated in a national tournament before, I did not have any connections other than the team from Kanagawa Prefecture.

And the team in Kanagawa Prefecture, only Hainan, Xiangyang and Buri can be looked at by him, but Hainan also needs to prepare for the game, and the high-head coach has already found a training opponent, that is, Aichi Prefecture's Aiwa Academy.

As for the Xiangyang team, because they did not get a place in the national competition in this year's county competition, the team coach had to be fired by the school board, resulting in Xiangyang having no way to contact for the time being.

The last Buri is very simple, due to the defeat in this year's prefectural tournament, the Watanabe brothers, who are already in the third grade, quit the basketball club to give more opportunities to newcomers. And how can Buri, who lost the Watanabe brothers, compare with Lingnan, Coach Tagang can't look down on him.

As a result, unlike most teams preparing for the national competition, this year's Lingnan could only organize player training on their own.

For Ikegami, training is obviously better than sparring, after all, he has been through a lot of battles in his previous life, and the most important thing he lacks is competition experience. Instead of this, it is better to work hard to strengthen yourself during this time, and enhance the fit with this body as soon as possible to achieve the effect of strengthening yourself.

Everyone has a dream, and like many basketball players, Ikegami's dream is to enter the highest temple of basketball - the NBA!

It's just that basketball is a sport that requires a lot of physical fitness, and this is especially true in the more confrontational NBA. If you want to play in the NBA, you don't have extraordinary physical fitness, no matter how strong your skills are, you will basically not be favored by NBA teams.

NBA teams would rather have a devilish muscular man with no skills than choose a basketball player with top skills and average body.

If you want to join the NBA, you can't do it without a certain level of physical fitness, and the only people in SD who have the physical fitness standards of ordinary NBA players are Sakuragi, Mori Shigehiro and Naito Tetsuya. Although Mu Shenyi is not bad, he is still slightly inferior to Sakuragi and others in terms of physical fitness, strength, speed, bounce and explosiveness and other precursor qualities in the NBA belong to the type of high and low, and he can eat it all in the high school league, but in the NBA where there are strong people everywhere, the best result is to act as a substitute, but the bigger one is to be sent to the development league by the team to re-exercise, and only by finding the soft feel unique to Asian players can he have the opportunity to play in the MBA.

Although Ikegami's physical fitness in the original book is also at the first-class level in SD, there is still a big gap compared to Sakuragi, even compared with Rukawa Kaede and Makishinichi, it is a little behind. If you want to reach the physical level of the NBA, you can only do it through acquired training.

In his opinion, as long as the body can reach the ordinary level of the NBA, then as long as it is paired with dynamic vision and an unusually soft touch, it can at least become an important part of the NBA team.

Physical fitness is the external manifestation of the strength of a person's physique, which includes strength, speed, endurance, agility, bounce and flexibility.

The quality of a person's physical fitness is related to genetics, but it is more closely related to acquired nutrition and physical exercise, and with the right methods and proper exercise, the level of physical fitness can be improved from all aspects.

Ikegami's family is below average, and those expensive nutritious foods are insulated from him, because he wants to improve his physical fitness, and the only way at present is physical exercise.

In terms of physical fitness, in order to avoid further growth in height, the pool does not add strength training such as lifting dumbbells, and the main ways to exercise strength are still push-ups and pull-ups.

His main training areas are in the retreat and lower back training, and the main areas of growth are speed, explosiveness, bounce, endurance and flexibility.

Due to the relationship between the equipment, the leg exercises are mainly composed of squats, rope skipping, switchback running, and frog jumps, while the waist exercises are composed of leg curls, leg lifts, and sit-ups.

In addition to these, Ikegami is not very satisfied with his arm span, which is one of the important indicators in basketball, in addition to physical fitness, technique and height. If you have a pair of long arms, it is quite beneficial for both offense and defense.

Ikegami's current height is 185 centimeters and his arm span is 192 centimeters, which is not bad among the yellow race, but it is undoubtedly dwarfed by the ratio of basketball players in the NBA.

Arm span length is innate, and it is not possible to make it longer by natural means. If you want to increase your arm span, you can do exercises by touching heights and pull-ups, although the effect is relatively limited, but as long as you grow, it is also an additional gain for Ikegami.

After adding these exercise indicators to the pool, the amount of training has undoubtedly increased a lot compared to before, even if it is a physical strength of the pool, after training every day, he is tired like a dog. However, such training can also speed up physical growth, which is undoubtedly a surprise for Ikegami.

In addition to strengthening the exercise on the pond, other players in Lingnan have also increased the amount of exercise they usually have, especially those senior high school seniors.

For the third-year players of Lingnan High School, this year is their last year, and it is also the first time to participate in the national competition, and the excitement in their hearts is indescribable, because they are more passionate than usual when they are exercising, but their situation also makes it difficult to improve their strength much in a short period of time.

In addition to the seniors in the third year of high school who are training frantically, Yuzhu also joined this lineup.

Although Uozui's current strength is good in Kanagawa, he can be regarded as a top five center forward, but he mainly relies on his height and physical fitness, which can be said to be quite rough on a technical level. In addition to the hook that is not working from time to time, there is only the most common offensive means of slam dunk, and the offensive range can only be located under the basket.

Coach Tian Gang can be said to attach great importance to Yuzhu, believing that as long as Yuzhu grows smoothly, he will become the pillar of Lingnan's inner line in the future. So I specially added a workout plan to Yuzhu to enhance the strength of Yuzhu.

The content of these exercises is relatively simple, most of them are basic basketball skills, but the focus is on inside footwork and rebounding, and the other is to set up obstacles for Yuzhu to carry out hook training in all directions to increase the accuracy of hook hands.

In addition to this workout plan, Yuzhu also has to do long-distance running exercises every day to improve his physical strength. No way, although the fish lived in Lingnan and trained for a period of time, due to the height and strength that is easy to consume, the physical strength is the bottom level of the Lingnan team. Only by strengthening physical training can it be possible to play the whole game.

Just as the Lingnan team was preparing for the national competition, time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the national competition to start.
