Chapter 121: After the Race and Fukuda (Part I)
The first game of the tiebreaker series has finally come to an end, but the topic and aftermath of the game are still nostalgic for the circle of high school basketball.
First of all, about the winners of the first battle, Hainan and Xiangbei respectively, so the two teams are temporarily tied for first place among the four teams in the tiebreaker series. Interestingly, these two victorious teams will also meet in the second match, which will probably be the real battle for the first place.
Secondly, there is also a high degree of popularity about some of the plots in the game, such as Mu Shenyi VS Fuji Zhen in the battle of Hainan and Xiangyang, and the twin towers VS double shooter in the battle of Buri and Xiangbei, plus some players' own magic strokes, which will push the excitement of the two games up several levels.
After the day of the competition, aside from the star players of the traditional strong teams, a group of players with extraordinary strength and star potential emerged this summer, such as Xiangyang's flower-shaped thorough, Xiangbei's dark horse rookie Fuji Xinye, and the dormant veteran Akagi Gangxian, etc., all of whom were talked about by fans and media workers because of their respective strengths.
In recent years, the annual high school summer prefectural tournament in the prefecture has attracted a lot of attention every year because it is closely related to the national competition. At the same time, the excellent performance of Tuohai Hainan High School in the national competition in recent years has increased the enthusiasm of both the media in the county and the general public for basketball and competitions.
Therefore, this period is the busiest time for media workers in Kanagawa Prefecture, especially those working in the sports media, and the competition among peers is fierce, and they all begin to show their talents in order to attract attention.
This year is the first year that Yayoi Aida has taken over the topic of the prefectural competition from the editor-in-chief, and as a popular topic at the moment, there are still many colleagues in the group who compete with Yayoi Aida, and it is not easy to stand out from so many people. At the same time, it is also a special production that highlights Yayoi Aida's personal ability, involving her personal dignity and future. Therefore, Aida Yayoi is particularly attentive to the interview.
Making a plan at night and taking the initiative the next day is the style of Yayoi Aida, an outstanding woman in Japan's new era of dedication.
The first day after the match between Xiangbei and Buri was Monday, and the school's cultural classes were gradually coming to an end, and the tense atmosphere permeated every corner of the Lingnan High School campus.
That's right, neither Xiangbei nor Hainan, but Lingnan! Yayoi Aida's first interview after the game was here, not the coaches and players of the Big Four High Schools (referring to the high schools of the top four teams), but the little-known coach of the Lingnan High School team, Mr. Shigeichi Taoka!
While other media colleagues were still trying to interview the coaches and players of teams such as Hainan and Xiangbei, Aida Yayoi chose to find another way, because she learned the news through phone contact early in the morning, and the coaches and players of the four high schools refused to interview, citing the preparation for the next decisive series.
The coaches of the four major teams are busy to the point where they are lacking in skills, and the players also need to understand the coping plan and training plan for the next game as soon as possible. Aida Yayoi didn't want to wait, so he directly aimed at the coach of the Lingnan team who was present on the day of the game, and the professional's comment was of course the sooner the better.
Approaching the lunch break, Yayoi Aida drove to Lingnan High School, and under the guidance of the school's students, he touched the school gymnasium, and met the coach of the Lingnan team, Shigeichi Taoka, at the entrance of the gymnasium.
"Hello, Miss Aida! It's a great honor to have you here! Shigeichi Kooka said politely, and behind him stood several third-year players, such as the current team leader, Kyosuke Nagayama.
Yayoi Aida is dressed today to show the temperament of mature women, she is wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a dark blue short skirt, smooth and delicate legs extend straight from the skirt, until the high heels under the jade feet. She brushed the hair at the root of her ears, stretched out her hand and shook it with Shigeichi Taoka, and said very familiarly:
"Coach Taoka, you're so kind, I'm lucky to have interviewed you."
Shigeichi Taoka waved his hand and smiled. Today, he still wears green short sleeves, even if he is interviewed by the county media, his dress and dress are still casual and simple. may have been hit by the defeat in the game more than two months ago, but if you look closely, his face has unexpectedly changed a lot.
Bringing back Tokyo's Akira Sendo when the team was still unknown, Shigeichi Kooka was obviously questioned and pressured by the school leaders. Shigeichi Taoka's resume in the basketball world in the prefecture is undoubted, whether it was as a player or now as a coach, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge, but unfortunately the results of the Lingnan team led in recent years are really not ideal, which is the only pity of Shigeichi Taoka so far.
The two sides did not stand at the door again, and Shigeichi Taoka led Aida Yayoi to the arena. Yayoi Aida, who was standing at the door and heard movement in the arena, was already interested.
The stadium was full of students wearing practice jerseys, Lingnan jerseys, and white short T's, and they were scattered in several pieces in the stadium, dividing the field in the stadium into several pieces. Some of the young-looking students were still dribbling the ball outside the court, while some of the players had already mingled and organized a practice match.
There were a lot of official players from Lingnan in the practice match, and Aida Yayoi and Shigeichi Taoka asked to watch for a while, and Shigeichi Taoka agreed.
Regarding the players of Lingnan's team, Aida Yayoi is really not faceless, with the photos and information in the information, she was stunned to face a few people, such as Yuzhu Jun, Xiandao Akira and other players with very conspicuous and unique characteristics can be easily identified.
After stopping and looking at it for a moment, Aida Yayoi suddenly asked Shigeichi Taoka, "Coach Taoka, is the usual practice volume of the Lingnan team so large?" ”
Aida Yayoi is curious from the bottom of his heart, this summer, the Lingnan team has ended early, why is he still training desperately at this time? Is it for the winter tryouts?
Soon, Shigeichi Taoka gave the answer, and the answer was so simple that Aida Yayoi was surprised, he said: "In order to win Xiangbei!" ”
Shigeru Taoka paused in his voice, and explained in more detail: "This year, we lost to Xiangbei in the first round, so we are now training with the goal of winning Xiangbei!" In terms of the amount of training, we are losers, so we have to work harder than our opponents, and now Xiangbei must be training for the next round, and of course we can't stop. ”
The unwillingness in Shigeichi Taoka's tone, Aida Yayoi really caught it, and the other party bluntly brought the topic to Xiangbei, and in the face of such a direct hit, Aida Yayoi had no choice but to follow.
Aida Yayoi said to Shigeichi Taoka: "Coach Taoka, since you mentioned Xiangbei, let's officially start our interview!" ”
"Okay." Shigeru Kooka nodded, "Then, please come with me to the lounge of the basketball club!" ”
