Chapter 198: Another Journey!
The national team, which has been training for a month, ushered in the first open warm-up match after this assembly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The strength of the opponent was very average, and the Japanese men's basketball team ended the first warm-up game with a big victory of more than 30 points.
After that, the national team played two more warm-up matches.
The result was no different from the first.
Regardless of the strength of the opponent, the Japanese men's basketball team ended this round of warm-up matches with three consecutive wins, which is a great confidence boost for new players joining the national team!!
After that, the national team trained in closed training for another month, ending this national team training camp.
This national team's training camp is for next year's Asian Championships.
That will be the biggest test for the newly formed national team!!
After the end of the national team training camp, Amu and others have returned to the local team, and now there is no time for them to rest, and the new season of JBA has entered the countdown.
Jaguar has been intensively preparing for this side.
In the training hall of the Jaguar team, everyone is sweating and training.
"What~!!! they're really together~!!"
Sakuragi looked at Mitsui and said in surprise.
Sakuragi saw that Miyagi was very hard working and desperate in training, and it was not like his usual lazy and lazy style, so he asked Mitsui and asked if there was anything good happening in Miyagi, and the result really made Sakuragi guess correctly.
Mitsui told Sakuragi about Miyagi and Ayako's official relationship.
That's why Sakuragi exclaimed.
"You really don't know??We train together all day, I thought you knew everything!!"
Mitsui was also surprised by Sakuragi's reaction.
"No one told me at all, I'll have to settle accounts with that kid in Miyagi later, damn it!!Don't tell me such a big thing!!"
After Sakuragi finished speaking, he turned his head and walked away.
"It's over, Miyagi can stand it~!!"
Looking at Sakuragi's angry appearance, Mitsui became worried for Miyagi.
"Miyagi!!Am I your brother~!!"
Sakuragi quickly came to Miyagi's side and asked.
"What's wrong, Sakuragi??"
Miyagi still hasn't understood the source of Sakuragi's anger.
"What are you going to do with this guy Sakuragi~!!"
Seeing the confrontation between Sakuragi and Miyagi, Coach Oki next to him couldn't help but get nervous.
"It's okay, coach, it's just a little misunderstanding, don't worry~~"
Mitsui stopped Oki who wanted to step forward and said.
"I got a girlfriend, why don't you tell me ~!!"
The more Sakuragi spoke, the angrier he became.
"Hi~~ I thought something was going on, no wonder Sakuragi you couldn't find a girlfriend, you have nothing else in your brain except to play basketball!!"
Miyagi was not only not embarrassed, but used a tone of lesson.
"What~~ What do you mean??"
Sakuragi was also a little flustered.
"Have you forgotten that you accompanied me and Ayako to buy a car that time?? It was already so obvious at that time, didn't you see it??"
Miyagi trained Sakuragi.
"Ah??It's been going to be since then~!!Oh my God, why didn't I see it!!"
Sakuragi said as if recalling the scene.
"Okay~~Miyagi!!Won Ayako~!! really have you~!!"
Sakuragi gave up recalling, anyway, it had already come true, so why care about those details.
"Who am I, huh!!"
Miyagi said with a proud expression.
"It turns out that the bet is just a child's play~~"
Rukawa Kaede, who has been beside Miyagi and Sakuragi, silently made up for it after hearing this.
Although there are occasional quarrels, but, beating is kissing, scolding is love, the more this situation is, the more it seems how united this team is!!
"Come on, everyone!!"
Coach Oki beckoned everyone to move closer to him.
"Remember what we lost last season, forget what we got last season, start from scratch, start with today's training, start with the first jump ball of the new season, start with the first pass, start with the first shot, start with the first rebound, step by step, solid, steady, I believe that what we yearn for, we will get!!"
Sure enough, Coach Ohki gave the players a very uplifting message.
"Come ~~3,2,1~~"
Oki took the lead and shouted.
"Jaguar~~~"
Then the team members raised their fists and roared in agreement.
Ahead of the new season, the morale of the Jaguar team is at an all-time high!!
"Okay, I'm relieved now, so it seems that there is no need to set any goals for the new season, it can be seen that everyone is holding back a lot of energy~~"
Standing outside the door of the training hall and seeing the response of Coach Oki and the players, General Manager Kawaguchi was silently relieved.
"Ladies and gentlemen~~!! our favorite, the bravest, and the proudest of the city - Team Jaguar !! is back~~!!"
"Yay~~!!!"
After half a year, the pump center once again ushered in its own owner!!
In the 2010-2011 season, it officially set sail!!
The Jaguars' first game of the new season was at home against Sado Glory.
"Huh~Huh~Huh~~"
When the players were introduced, Sakuragi suddenly had a rapid heartbeat, gasped, and became inexplicably nervous.
"Damn~~ Why are you so nervous, it's just the first game of the new season, not so much~~"
Sakuragi also hinted at himself in his heart.
Since last season's shocking three-point shot, Sakuragi's reputation has become more famous, and his popularity has risen sharply than before, so when the players came on the stage, there were cheers from the scene of the mountains and tsunamis, which may be the reason for Sakuragi to be restless.
After all, Sakuragi is no longer the nobody he used to be, and he himself needs time to get used to the process!!
The starting team of the Jaguar team is still the Xiangbei Five Tigers.
On the side of the Radiant team, the main players have not changed much, but during the previous training, Abe Tatsune, who accidentally sprained his ankle, was absent due to injury.
One less Abe is still a big blow to the Radiant team, after all, this player who entered the league in the same year as Sakuragi Hanamichi can contribute: 15.1 points last season. He is the second leading scorer in the interior after Akira Kuroki.
A number of teams expressed interest in Abe in the offseason, but the Korn Glory team did not want to let go of this potential stock, after all, Abe is only 25 years old, and the future is promising!!
Back on the field.
After both sides jumped the ball, the game began.
"Sakuragi~~~, come on!!"
Minasin Sugi, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked at Sakuragi and silently supported.
But it's useless to just support outsiders, after the opening, the Jaguar team's offense played a little tightly, and finally there was a vacancy, and the shot was also very outrageous~~
Maybe it's because of the first game of the new season, everyone hasn't gotten into the game yet.
After the half-quarter of the game, the two sides fought to an 8-8 draw.
This score is like the score presented after a penalty shootout in a football match.
"Damn, it's too awkward to fight~!!! Coach change tactics~!!"
After one of Miyagi's outside shots didn't score, Sakuragi quickly retreated, and just walked to Oki's side and said.
"Defend first~!!"
Oki reminded.
"Cut~!!There is no problem with defense~~ The main thing is offense, I can't even get the ball~!!"
Sakuragi turned around and trotted to the restricted area, muttering to himself. (To be continued.) )
