Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede's rookie season is over, although they failed to make the playoffs, but the team management and even the owner Kenichi Takayama are still quite satisfied with the fifth place, and the fans are also very clear that for such a young team, they really can't ask for more.

"We did our best, we had a good start to the season, although we made a lot of mistakes after that, but we were able to correct them in time and find the reasons for these mistakes, which made the team have a more consistent performance in the second half, I still have the same sentence as before: we are not a championship team at the moment, our goal is to try to be that team in the future, at least in this season, we have laid a good foundation, the young players have made great progress. It gives us a chance to be the kind of team we want to be, maybe next season, we won't be able to compete for the championship, but don't forget, these kids are only 22 or 3 years old, and we don't have the present in our hands, but the whole future! “

At the Jaguar team's season summary meeting, Coach Oki made a speech first, and it can be seen from between the lines that Coach Oki is still very optimistic about the team's prospects!

After that, the boss Gao Shan also stepped forward to speak.

"First of all, thank you to Coach Oki Ichishimoto for his contribution to the team this season, indeed, as Coach Oki said, today's team is full of vitality, our road to rebuilding step by step, I also recognize these players selected, I dare not say that our reconstruction has been completed, but at least for now, we are in good order, so I still want to thank every member of our Jaguar family for their efforts, I hope that next season, our team will go to the next level!"

Boss Gao Shan's speech was not long, but he still gave high praise to the team's work on various projects!

Although Jaguar's season is over, the entire JBA league is still in full swing, and it has come to the most intense and critical playoffs.

This season's JBA playoffs are the regular season first Kagoshima Antlers against the fourth Nagoya Ninja, the second Sendai Rover against the third Fukuyama Flying Wave, after the first round of fierce competition, the Antlers eliminated the ninja 3:1, and the other side of the rover is a thrilling 3:2 victory over the Flying Wave, but the team's main Afu missed the finals due to injury. In the end, the antlers team of Mu Shenyi and the rover team of Xiandao will meet in the final finals. This is also the second year in a row that the two teams have met in the finals.

may be due to Ah Fu's absence, Ah Mu played quite freely in the finals, coupled with the veteran Shin Shan Fan, who returned from the antlers injury, which made the antlers team even more powerful.

3:0, the Antlers swept the championship in the finals, which is also the fifth championship in the history of the Antlers, and won the golden basket again after 2005! Amu also won the second championship of his career! Nobunaga, who joined the JBA in his first year, won the championship, which is also quite lucky, you know, many people have played 15 seasons and failed to reach the finals, let alone the championship.

The defeated Rover missed the opportunity to win two consecutive championships, although the lack of a dominant center like Kojiro Maruyama, but this season has made Sendo a pillar of the team, and it has also allowed Sendo to get the greatest degree of exercise, rapid progress, if the team can introduce a good interior line to echo Xiandao in the offseason, then the Rover is still a championship-level team.

In this way, the dust has settled on the 2006-2007 season of the JBA league, and there is still a lot to be done for this not yet mature league, at least there must be an MVP award, a more complete draft system, and maybe this long offseason, everything will have an answer.

At the end of the season, the Jaguar team gave all the players a month and a half off, so that the players can relax and relax is the priority of the offseason, Mitsui and Miyagi went to Southeast Asia to travel, Rukawa Kaede returned to South Korea to visit relatives, and Akagi came to his previous university to start studying business administration courses that had been lost throughout the season. Akagi has always been like this, the inside hegemon of the court, and the academic bully of the examination room.

Our Sakuragi hadn't gone far, but he was so busy that Haruko didn't even look for it, as he came to what was probably his favorite spot off the course - the swimming pool.

"Maekawa-senpai! Maekawa-senpai! ，，，”

Sakuragi, who came to the swimming pool, couldn't find the coach Maekawa Yuanhang, and shouted everywhere in a hurry.

"Hey, hey, don't shout, what are you looking for Mr. Maekawa!!"

A security guard stopped Sakuragi.

"I'm looking for him to train, where is he!?"

Sakuragi looked like he was in a hurry.

"He's here,,"

"No, I see him!"

Before the security guard could finish speaking, Sakuragi looked around and finally found Coach Maekawa standing by the pool teaching the players.

Originally, Sakuragi wanted to surprise Coach Maekawa, but he didn't expect the players to recognize Sakuragi, although Sakuragi made a mouth covering action not to squeak, maybe suddenly saw Sakuragi, and the team members shouted: "Brother Sakuragi!!" ~~“

They all hugged Sakuragi.

"When you come, I don't even know who to teach them! Ha ha! ”

"I'm sorry, senior, I came to visit without notifying you!"

Sakuragi is very humble in her attitude.

"What, the season is over!?"

"Yes, a season is fast!"

"Didn't you say you could win the championship, but I seem to have heard that there are other people who won the championship!"

"We're not good enough in every aspect this season, but sooner or later, I'll bring home a championship!!"

When Sakuragi mentions the championship, he is always so determined to win!

Sakuragi, who came to the swimming pool, chatted with Coach Maekawa, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"The last time you came to me for special training, I have already taught you almost all the moves to restore your waist, it's really nothing!"

In the afternoon, Sakuragi asked Coach Maekawa about some new training methods, but the answer he received might have disappointed Sakuragi a little.

"There must be another way! Teach me!! Predecessor!! ”

Sakuragi's desire to study is very eager.

"You're still a basketball player after all, you should put the training ground on the basketball court!"

"However, I found that my flexibility was still a little bit worse, and I always felt that the flexibility of the swimmers was quite good!"

"But, look at these children, they all started practicing since they were young, you ,,,,"

"Senior!!! You're going to help me!! It's up to you to improve this offseason!! ”

Sakuragi began to plead.

"This ,,,,"

Maekawa was also embarrassed when he saw that Sakuragi was about to kneel, and his brain began to spin rapidly, thinking about training methods to help Sakuragi.

"Well, I'll take you somewhere, but you have to be prepared, this training method is quite dangerous!"

"When have I ever been scared of Sakuragi, just come on!! Haha, I knew that you must have a secret weapon beforehand!! ”

Hearing Maekawa's words, Sakuragi immediately changed from a crying face to a smiling face.

"Okay, come with me, you kid, you're really persistent."

Saying that, Coach Maekawa took Sakuragi to the training room full of "danger".

"Now, that's it,"

Following the guidance of Coach Maekawa, the room that greeted me looked like a factory building, very high, but when I looked down, it felt like a playground, full of trampoline-like mats next to each other, and the big mats were covered by a bunch of things like sponge balls, and the whole thing was a trampoline.

"Huh!? No, senior, isn't this a playground,,,? ”

Sakuragi looked curiously at everything in front of him.

"It's not just a place, it's not really a place where our swimmers train professionally, it's our neighborhood, a training ground for divers."

"Jump,,, Diving !??" Sakuragi became more and more incomprehensible.

"Yes, this is a very important part of the divers' daily training - simulated diving! The team members stepped on the spring bed and jumped up hard, and after a certain height, began to simulate the diving action when coming down from the pool pedal, which is more time-saving and labor-saving, and also helps the team members to remember the whole set of movements, as well as the flexibility of the team's waist and abdomen! “

"Oh, that's a test!"

Maekawa's explanation seems to have made Sakuragi understand a little.

"Yes, because of your old waist injury, I don't want to take you to this training, but seeing that you want to learn so much, then give it a try, but! You have to do what you can! Don't rush it, if you get hurt, the big wood will have to destroy me!" “

"No, it won't! Don't worry, senior, I'm in good health! Let's get started!! ”

In this way, Sakuragi began trampoline training under the guidance of Coach Maekawa.

"Oh~~Oh~~Oh~~Oh~~Oh~~Haha"

Sakuragi had a lot of fun on the trampoline, as if he really thought of it as an amusement park.

The next month and a half,Sakuragi will spend here again,With Sakuragi's character,Get along with the team members every day very well,Although this is Sakuragi to find special training for himself,But from the process point of view,It's more like a "vacation"。
