Not long after Sendo left, the four of Ikegami wandered around the streets of Tokyo for a while and had a special lunch before returning to their accommodation.

Yusaku Ozawa, as the captain, especially when he encounters a high-quality junior high school student like Sendo on the street, he naturally has to report to Coach Tagang.

After listening to Yusaku Ozawa's description, Shigeichi Taoka's serious face had a faint smile on his face, but he quickly concealed it. If it was last year, Shigeichi Taoka would definitely be inexplicably excited, and then take the initiative to go out to find Xiandao, but this year, with the results of Ikegami and Lingnan, Shigeichi Taoka's excitement has disappeared a lot, and he has controlled it well.

In fact, even if Shigeichi Kooka went to the streets of Tokyo to look for Sendo, I am afraid that it would be empty, after all, Yusaku Ozawa did not ask for Sendo's home address and landline number. In the crowded metropolis of Tokyo, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Ozawa, you're doing a great job!" Shigeichi Ogaoka stood up and patted Yusaku Ozawa's shoulder, which was not broad.

Shigeichi Tazuoka values Yusaku Ozawa very much, and after three years, the memory in his mind is as clear as yesterday.

Three years ago, when Yusaku Ozawa submitted an application for joining the company to the Lingnan team and took the test, Shigeichi Taoka didn't pay attention to it, but Yusaku Ozawa's physical fitness was too average and none of them were outstanding. Not only that, but Yusaku Ozawa at that time was far from his current superb skills, just a fixed-point pitcher, and his shooting rate was only average.

At that time, Lingnan was a strong team in Kanagawa Prefecture, and many students in Lingnan High School naturally submitted applications for joining the company, and there were not many players like Yusaku Ozawa.

It was precisely because of this situation that Yusaku Ozawa at that time did not enter the 12-person main selection list, but was just an alternate player!

Shigeichi Kooka is a serious and demanding person, and he often comes early when the team is training. It's just that at that time, every time Shigeichi Taoka entered the Lingnan Training Hall, there was a person in it who was practicing diligently, and that person was Yusaku Ozawa, who was considered unsuitable for basketball by Shigeichi Okaka!

For an alternate player, Shigeichi Taoka will not personally guide him, and it doesn't matter if the alternate player comes to train or not, otherwise he will not have to die of exhaustion every day.

Yusaku Ozawa's diligence apparently impressed Shigeichi Taoka at the time, causing him to occasionally come forward to give advice.

It's just that since the list of 12 people has been selected and handed over to the prefectural competition committee, even Shigeichi Taoka, who has watched Yusaku Ozawa grow slowly, can't change it. In the first year, Yusaku Ozawa missed the Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament.

The subsequent Autumn Country is completely different in nature, with the strongest 12 people selected by the prefecture forming a representative team and competing against other county teams. At that time, not to mention that Yusaku Ozawa, who had not played a game, even the core of Lingnan was not selected at that time, and the difficulty was evident.

It was only in the final Winter Tournament that Yusaku Ozawa competed as a regular player for Lingnan.

The winter tournament is also divided into prefectural and national competitions, but the intensity is much lower than that of the summer national tournament, and many of the main players of the strong teams will not play, and often some substitute players and unimportant starters will play.

In other words, the winter glory is not important, and the biggest use for the team is training.

It was precisely because the intensity was much lower than that of the national tournament that Yusaku Ozawa, who was weak at the time, was able to play all the time and compete against opponents of the same strength, thus gaining the opportunity to grow rapidly and gain competition experience.

By the end of that year's Winter Tournament, Ozawa's shooting skills had reached a higher level, and he began to practice various positions.

Running is a skill job, and there are many benefits, not only to get a better open spot, but also to help a companion open the gap, or even to help a companion block and dismantle the screen, these are all contributions that the running position can do. At that time, Yusaku Ozawa did this in the competition and tried to make his own contribution.

If the skill of running is used to the extreme, it is also a big killer, and you don't see the NBA's Ray Allen and Hamilton who became famous for their tricks and accurate shooting!

It's just that Yusaku Ozawa obviously doesn't have as much physical strength as Hamilton, and the sharpness of his running position is far less than that of Ray Allen, so he can only occasionally run out of empty positions to score points.

It is precisely because he does not have a very good talent in the running position that Yusaku Ozawa will finally practice various offensive techniques and difficult jumpers to form his own style in combination with the running position, so as to build a siege for the team, and will bring the two Lingnan to the quarterfinals of the county competition in one fell swoop last year.

In Shigeichi Kooka's view, Yusaku Ozawa also has a talent, that is, diligence. Imagine being able to work hard for three years to get wastewood, and how many can do it. Just like many alternate players in Lingnan, in addition to being diligent in the first few days of joining the team, they often fish for three days and dry their nets for two days. They themselves have given up on themselves, and those who have no hope in their hearts can only be defeated by themselves in the end.

After chatting with Yusaku Ozawa for a while, Shigeru Takaka looked at the time and said, "Ozawa, you go and gather the other players, and then we will go to the central gymnasium together to participate in the national competition ceremony!"

"Yes, Coach!"

At the same time, almost the same thing happened to many other teams as Lingnan, who gathered their players and then rushed to the central gymnasium to participate in the ceremony.

On the way, Ikegami followed the footsteps in front of him speechlessly, and trotted with other players towards the central gymnasium.

"Ikegami, it's a hot day, why do we have to run over!" Yuzhu was panting and sweating profusely, it was too hot. For a player of his size, running on a hot day is nothing short of ordealable.

"No way, the coach wants us to do this, we can't stop doing it!"

Ikegami ignored Yuzhu's complaints, made a helpless expression, and subconsciously appeared in his heart a scene in SD, that is, Xiangbei was on the train to Lingnan to play a practice match, but Akagi Gangxian asked Xiangbei players to make a squatting posture to exercise.

Of course, in Ikegami's opinion, running to the gym is much better than that posture, at least there is no shame.

Tokyo Central Gymnasium, Lingnan team players walked into it, only to find that this gymnasium is not ordinarily large, the field is the size of half a football field, but it can also accommodate 59 teams.

Of the 59 teams, perhaps Tokyo is the capital, and the city has a full three places in the national competition, which is the only city in Japan to have three places.

And the Tokyo teams that entered the national tournament this year are Akizuki High School, Higashizakura High School, and Jimboho University!

Looking at these three local teams, Ikegami felt a little disdainful, mainly because these three teams also participated in last year's national competition, and the best result was to enter the third round, that is, stop at the round of 16, and the strength can be imagined. Needless to say, the top four teams in Kanagawa Prefecture, I'm afraid that Tsukutake is not worse than them.

In addition to these, there is also the relationship between Lingnan's first opponent and the great attachment of the gods.
