Chapter 216: Death Squad
A week before the start of the Autumn Sports, the players who entered the Autumn Country Sports list left their respective teams one after another and entered Lingnan to start training in a closed field.
The requirements of training are very simple, which is to let each player reach a certain tacit understanding and avoid being too rusty and causing a decline in strength.
Of course, there is also the ability of the players to really determine the starters, the substitutes and the captain.
Whether it is from the personal strength, team record, captain Lingnan's identity and the relationship with Coach Taoka, it can be said that there is no suspense in the captaincy of the Kanagawa team, and it has become Ikegami's bag.
As for the starters, they have become captains, and they will not be substitutes, at most, the position on the field will be changed, so as to give full play to the overall strength of the Kanagawa team.
Although the 12 players are all superb, and almost all of them are the pillars and cores of Kanagawa's teams, there is still a gap in strength.
According to the slight gap in strength, the state of the players and the relationship between the position, in the end, Coach Taoka finally summed up a starting list based on a fair and just choice, center Uozi Jun, power forward Hanagata, small forward Ryoji Ikegami, quarterback Makiichi and point guard Kenji Fujima.
Among them, the competition for the division guard can be said to be extremely fierce, because whether it is Ah Mu, Xiandao or Mitsui, the overall strength is almost among the best, and each has its own advantages.
And the reason why Ah Mu was allowed to act as the starter was that Lingnan already had Chishang and Yuzhu as starters, and if he pushed Xiandao up again, what was the difference between him and the high-headed coach. As an enemy of the enemy, Coach Taoka is extremely hateful to Coach Gaotou's actions last year.
The second is that Mitsui's strength is indeed equivalent to Ah Mu, but the team's record not only can't match Hainan, but also has not participated in the national competition and the autumn national body, and there is a lack of experience in this kind of national competition.
Therefore, to be able to be a starter, it is not only the strength, but also the experience of national competitions.
Not only is there fierce competition for quarterbacks, but so is the center, whether it is Uozumi, Akagi, Hanagata, or Kazuhiro Ikeda, the strength of these four is almost all in the middle, and the gap is extremely small. In such a situation, Coach Taoka naturally favors his own disciples, which is also human nature. And since Hanagata used to play the power forward position, the last spot was also lost by Akagi and Kazuhiro Ikeda.
Although the starters did not have Mitsui and Akagi's share, the two were extremely satisfied with being selected, and they did not see almost all the top four players in the county tournament on the list of senior coaches last year.
As in previous years, this year's Kanagawa team still has a luxurious lineup, and has a starting lineup that can be called an 'all-star' (this all-star is not an NBA All-Star, the full name is a star player in the national competition, and all five of them were selected for the national three-team).
Soon, a week passed in the days of the training camp.
Due to the remarkable results of the three teams in Kanagawa Prefecture this year, although Lingnan did not win the final championship, it was worthy of the title of the uncrowned king, and it was better to win the championship than to win the championship without winning the championship.
Therefore, in order to affirm the achievements of Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture was specially chosen as the venue for this Autumn National Sports Tournament.
The location of the 'pledge' is naturally the largest and best located National Center Gymnasium in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Just like last year, this year's Autumn National Sports Competition is still 30 prefectures.
This year's Autumn National Sports Competition is divided into two groups, each group of 15 county teams, of which last year's champion and runner-up are naturally a little special, in addition to only meeting in the finals, the other is the first round of direct promotion.
Last year's winners and runners-up were Akita Prefecture, which owns Sanno Industries, and Fukuoka Prefecture, which is affiliated with Hakata Shodai, with Akita Prefecture in the first group and Fukuoka Prefecture in the second group.
As for the other teams, there is no arrangement law, complete freedom, the lucky ones meet the weak team, the unlucky meet the strong team, and the more become a strong county competition.
This year's strong county competition belongs to Aichi Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, and I don't know if it was bad luck or coincidence, these two strong prefectures are in the second group like Lingnan, resulting in the second group directly becoming a veritable death group.
According to the schedule, Kanagawa Prefecture will face Chiba Prefecture in the same Kanto region in the first round.
In terms of strength, Chiba Prefecture's strength can only be regarded as lower than average, and the two teams that entered this year's national competition were only the top 32, which is evident from Kanagawa Prefecture, which is known as a strong basketball county.
Indeed, after the start of the game, the Kanagawa Prefecture team completely overwhelmed the Chiba Prefecture team, and the strength of the two sides was like a primary school student meeting a middle school student, and the whole game was uneventful.
137:66!
With a gap of more than seventy points, Kanagawa Prefecture bloodbathed Chiba Prefecture. It shows a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and it doesn't seem to be on the same level at all.
The whole game of the Chiba Prefecture team was able to maintain the whole game except for the first few minutes, but with the opening of the scores of the two sides, the players of the Chiba Prefecture team were under great pressure and demoralized, and finally the more they played, the more they could not play the level they should have. Even if Coach Taoka replaced the starters not long after the start of the second half, there was still not much change, after all, even if it was a substitute lineup, the Kanagawa substitute lineup was not much worse than the starting lineup, and Chiba Prefecture was destined to become a tragedy.
Immediately after the match, the Kanagawa Prefecture team went to the Central National Gymnasium, where the two protagonists of the battle for strong prefectures, Aichi and Osaka, were playing.
In terms of players, the difference in strength between the two counties can be said to be extremely small, and the intensity of the game can be imagined.
It's just that I have to say that the Osaka Prefecture team, the starting players are either Daiei College or Fengyu High School.
Both teams have the strength of the national quarterfinals, but the problem arises, Fengyu plays running and bombing, heavy attack and light defense, while Daei is positional, heavy defense and low attack. All in all, the style and character of both teams is almost a confrontation between light and darkness.
Not only that, but the two teams are even more hostile, and neither side is birding. And it is such a combination of two teams of the starter, not only will there be no 1+1>2 situation, but even =2 will not be reached, and it will not be able to play the real level at all.
So on the field, Osaka Prefecture can be said to be a series of mistakes, when attacking, the Fengyu players run wildly, and Daiei Academy slowly stepped forward, achieving a situation of playing less and more;
What's more, the two sides did not want to compromise with the other side at all, and neither of them liked the other, so the two opposing styles remained unchanged until the end of the game.
In the case of such internal friction and style opposition, the level of play can be imagined, and in the end, Aichi Prefecture took Osaka Prefecture lightly.
