Xiangbei High School has always had this very different position in the heart of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

This location is the first beauty of Sakuragi, the first time to learn basketball~~

After coming to the professional league, Sakuragi will always find time to return to Xiangbei, or take a look at Coach Anzai~~

Here, taking advantage of the break of the All-Star Game, he came to Xiangbei at the invitation of the head coach of the Xiangbei High School basketball team and a former teammate of Sakuragi, good brother Mitsui Shou.

While recalling the past time, it is also a face-to-face teaching of skills to the players of the current Xiangbei team~~

The two of them first let the young players do warm-up activities, maybe looking at their appearance, they can really recall the scene of the year~~

The two of them chatted while watching the players train and analyzing the players' situation.

"Hey, by the way, Sakuragi, since you asked me so much just now, then I'll ask you too, have you ever thought of returning to Team Jaguar~??"

Mitsui's question is the same as Sakuragi's previous question about Mitsui's "comeback", which made the "asked party" very surprised~~

"Ahem, cough, cough~~~~"

Sakuragi seemed to choke on this, and coughed continuously.

"You really asked me this question, in fact, you also know that the current Jaguar team is already a new Jaguar team, they have their own young players, there are strong players, so, in comparison, the Feilang team needs me more~!!"

Sakuragi replied calmly.

"Haha, just kidding, you really answered so seriously, but I think it's really reliable for you to be the head coach after you retire in the future~!!"

Mitsui continued.

"Haha, are you the head coach~??Okay, if you leave the Xiangbei team one day, then the position of head coach will belong to me~!!!hahaha~!!"

Sakuragi also said in a half-joking tone.

"This is what you said, I can remember it, if there is really such a day, then we must fulfill the promise ~~, this is our agreement~!!"

However, Mitsui's tone seems to be very serious~~

Maybe in Mitsui's opinion, he can become a coach, and Sakuragi Hanamichi can also be.

"When playing back, you must pay attention to the position of other teammates, because the process of playing on your back is not only the process of fighting alone, but also the process of initiating the team's entire set of tactics, which is a very important part of ~!!"

Here, Sakuragi is making a back play posture while guiding the young players.

It is said that just talking about not practicing fake tricks, Sakuragi Hanamichi seems to know its way.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's generous body can help him better complete the back fight, so this is also very important~~

"The defense of the inside player, must not take the final blocking stage as the most important means, must be limited before his shot, control, this is the most important ~!!! Every time the block, in fact, the defense has been broken through, and there is no desperation~!!"

Sakuragi continued to explain the essentials of defense, and listening to Sakuragi's words, you can also understand that some of the mysteries of defense are already a "relatively high realm".

"If it's really time to block, you must remember one thing: blocking is definitely not determined by the ability to bounce, but the judgment of the defender and the timing of the jump, which is the most important thing~!! Similarly, grabbing rebounds is the same truth, I believe you should have heard a sentence ~ control the basket ~~"

"The one who controls the rebounds can control the game~!!"

Sakuragi continued to explain, and just halfway through Akagi's wise saying, the players directly added.

It seems that Akagi's words are already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Hahaha, you all know it, haha~!!"

Sakuragi said with a surprised smile as he scratched his hair at the players' reaction.

Judging from some of the principles of Sakuragi's previous explanation, Sakuragi does have some very profound, very specific, and very incisive truths, which can be regarded as "teaching by word and deed" to the young players.

"Mmmm~, it's getting more and more like a coach, haha~!!"

Mitsui looked at Sakuragi, who was explaining, and said.

Mitsui and Sakuragi's "training class" continues, and the group stage of the AFC Champions League has begun~~

Same as the first AFC Champions League, the second game still has 24 teams participating, a total of four groups, six teams in each group, home and away round-robin system, the top two groups advance to the quarterfinals, and then the knockout rounds in turn~~

The final of the second AFC Champions League will be held in Melbourne, Australia, the "Kingdom of Kangaroos".

Now, the AFC Champions League has come to the middle stage of the group stage.

In the JBA, there are four teams participating: the defending AFC Champions League champion Tokyo Sunrise, the same city mighty Tokyo Great White Sharks, the two-time league champion Mito Electronics, and the Sendai Rover led by Sendo.

The situation of the Rising Suns is as impressive as their defending champions, and their performance in the group stage is very eye-catching, which is also very stark in contrast to their slump in the league, and it seems that the players of the Rising Sun team prefer to play in the Asian arena.

The Mito Electronics team, which cannot be said in the same day, has completely become the "cash machine" in the AFC Champions League, and has not only failed to win a victory since the start of the game, but it is even difficult to fight with the opponent to the end.

However, in the eyes of the management of the electronic team, as long as Hikoka Aikawa and others are trained and promoted, everything is worth it, and everything is "victorious"~~

And Sendo's first trip to the AFC Champions League does not seem to be so smooth, and the coexistence problem between him and Honda Shime is still difficult to solve, which has spread from the domestic league to the Asian arena.

Fortunately, the group that the Rover is in is not the "Group of Death", so as long as the role of two people on the field can be handled, the Rover still has a chance to impact the top two in the group and reach the semi-finals~~

Since the Rising Sun team won the championship last year, I have always believed that there will be more miracles in the AFC Champions League~~

The strong Tokyo Jaws, although there are no injuries and no discord with other players, the team does not seem to be very lucky, and the group can be described as a real "group of death".

The teams in the same group not only include this year's "host team" Melbourne Tigers, but also teams such as Iran's powerful Tehran Telecom, the Chinese League, and a team with some roots in the Tokyo Great White Shark, Seoul Roses.

Yes, it's the one who has Rukawa Kaede, the Rukawa Kaede who had defeated the Great White Shark in the finals before, and the "public enemy" of the Great White Shark management.

In short, Jaws and Rukawa Kaede will always be inextricably linked, and now they have extended this connection from the previous league to the AFC Champions League.

In the upcoming group stage, Jaws will face Seoul Roses at home.

Rukawa Kaede, after returning to the Korean League, returned to the JBA for the first time and returned to the Dome for the first time.

Although this time it is still the enemy, this time, it is the "enemy" of all Japan.

Although there are a large number of media and die-hard fans of Rukawa Kaede gathered in the terminal of Tokyo Metropolitan International Airport, they are looking forward to seeing Rukawa Kaede again after more than half a year.

However, Rukawa Kaede, who was dressed in a black suit, left the airport through the safe passage under the mutual escort of the security personnel, without being interviewed and not being blocked. 2k reading web
