Chapter 751: Sakuragi Maden - Training Never Seen in the Arena (Part I)
Because in the national tournament against Sanno Industries, Sakuragi almost ended his athletic career by "sacrificing" the ball at the last moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Xiangbei team won the game and eliminated the team that had never been defeated at the top of the high school basketball world in Japan, they were still unfortunately out of the tournament after that.
But after defeating the Mountain King's game, Xiangbei proved to everyone that they are not the so-called "dark horses", they have such an ability~~
After that, Sakuragi came to the United States and started his rehabilitation life.
Because Sakuragi's back injury is too serious, it is indeed very difficult to return to the previous state~~
The first step in recovery is to make a thorough surgical plan and be able to have a successful operation.
Although the operation took up to 7 hours, everything went very smoothly and everything was worth it~~
Although the operation was very successful, Sakuragi was unable to walk freely on the ground for nearly half a year, and he was always accompanied by a wheelchair.
However, it was at this time that Sakuragi had nothing to do, learning English hard, although he could not communicate with doctors and nurses without barriers, but at least some vocabulary, Sakuragi had mastered, and he didn't need the help of a translator for everything.
"Sakuragi learned English hard", which was unimaginable before.
It's because I want to go back to the court, and because I want to fulfill the promise I made to Haruko.
As long as it can help Sakuragi recover, Sakuragi is willing to do it.
"Take your time, take your time, stand firm first, don't be in a hurry to move, stand still first~!!"
After more than half a year after the operation, Sakuragi successfully got rid of his wheelchair and crutches, which became Sakuragi's daily necessities.
"I can walk again~!! I can walk again~!!I can walk again~~!!hahahahaha~!!!"
After successfully being able to walk freely on crutches, Sakuragi was as happy as if he had just learned to walk.
After successfully getting out of bed and using crutches, Sakuragi finally took the first and most important step towards recovery.
After that, Sakuragi left the hospital and went to Boston, a specialized athlete rehabilitation center that is very well-known in the United States and even the world.
It is often used to receive players who have undergone surgery to recover after being injured in the NBA, not only in the NBA, but also in leagues such as the NHL, NFL and so on.
Sakuragi stayed here for more than half a year, but for Sakuragi, it played a vital role in his recovery.
Not only was the postoperative recovery better than expected, but when he left the rehabilitation center, Sakuragi left like a normal person, as before~~
You know, half a year ago, Sakuragi was on crutches~~
"Haha~!! I'm finally able to run and jump again, haha~!! I can finally get back to the court~!!!!"
Looking at his hands and legs standing on the ground, Sakuragi was extremely excited.
After nearly a year in the United States, Sakuragi has finally completed the critical early stages of his recovery.
Although he has lived like a normal person, Sakuragi is still too far away from meeting the requirements of a professional basketball player, after all, Sakuragi has not "touched" basketball for more than a year now, Sakuragi is a player who started very late, this year, Sakuragi has long forgotten all the previous feelings~~
In order to better help Sakuragi return to the court as soon as possible, the Japanese Basketball Association helped Sakuragi coordinate to a local high school in Boston, and Sakuragi's age at that time was just about to enter the third year of high school~~~
Sakuragi started a new journey in high school.
"I want to play basketball, I want to dunk because I'm a basketball genius~!!"
Sakuragi was very excited with a basketball that he hadn't seen for a long time.
After coming to high school, the first thing Sakuragi did was to join the basketball team.
After learning about Sakuragi's situation, the team's head coach found Sakuragi and the two chatted.
"How do you feel now~??"
The manager asked.
"It's not bad, basically there are no major problems, but the rehabilitator reminded me to pay attention to recovering the intensity of the early stage of basketball training, and let the body slowly adapt, but I can't wait, I feel like I can play now~!!"
Sakuragi is very eager, and the whole process is communicated in English, which is enough to see the rapid progress of Sakuragi's English level~~
"The rehabilitator is right, physical recovery does not mean the recovery of state, you are still very young, if you want to play in a professional league in the future and become a professional athlete, the most important thing now is to stay healthy and maintain the adaptability of the body, after all, you still have a long way to go~~"
The head coach said.
"Oh~~, got it~~"
Although Sakuragi looks reluctant, Sakuragi also knows that he can't get hurt anymore~~
After that, the two sides also had a brief communication, and Sakuragi began to officially resume training.
In the same way as the previous rehabilitation plan for Sakuragi at the rehabilitation center, Sakuragi did not go straight back to the court in the high school varsity team, but went to the gym and first needed to start strength training.
"One of the attributes of muscle is called muscle memory, some of the actions we often do, often become muscle memory, shooting and various actions in basketball games are a muscle memory, professional athletes rely on muscle memory very much, those famous marksmen in history, because they have a very strong muscle memory. Make their shots look very calm and efficient~~"
Sakuragi's high school varsity strength trainer said to Sakuragi.
"Muscle memory ~ ??!! muscles can remember ~ ??!!"
Obviously, Sakuragi didn't understand this freshly baked "noun" very well.
"That's right, muscle memory can't be seen, can't be touched, only after a long time of training can be done, obviously, your current muscle memory for basketball, with this year's basketball "window period" should have not much left~~"
The trainer continued.
"Okay, just listen to you, although I still don't understand what muscle memory is all about, but as long as it can get me back to the field as soon as possible, I can do anything~!!"
Sakuragi also agreed very boldly~~
The two of them soon came to the gym~~
"Wow~~, where is this gym, this is simply the army's training base~~~"
Sakuragi walked into the gym that was not very bright, and sighed when he saw that there were countless sports equipment in front of him, and there were many sports equipment that he couldn't even name.
Indeed, the gyms here are very different from the gyms in the country.
"First of all, I'll teach you a training method to quickly recover the strength of your arm muscles, it's very simple, pick up these two roots, wave them vigorously with both hands, the rope is like the waves on the sea, rolling, oh, it's so beautiful~!!"
The trainer is doing the demonstration movement very easily~~
