As he spoke, there was a shout from behind him, and someone shouted, "Superintendent Suzuki, please wait." ”

Suzuki looked back and saw that it was Nakamura, the captain of the Kusaka basketball team who had just left, and another player who had never played, and turned around and asked, "Nakamura-san, is there anything wrong?" ”

Nakamura ran to the nearest future and said: "I just heard from Nonaka that Xiangbei is going to play a warm-up match with Wuyuan in the evening, is there such a thing?" ”

Suzuki replied, "Yes." ”

Nakamura pleaded, "Please also ask Superintendent Suzuki to allow us to watch this match." ”

Suzuki: "Oh? Are you interested in Wuyuan? ”

Momoi interjected: "Sir, both the Wuyuan and Sunita teams are in the third division. ”

Suzuki smiled and said, "Reconnoiter the enemy's situation, it doesn't matter, just watch it if you want." ”

Nakamura and Nonaka: "Thank you Superintendent Suzuki. ”

When they arrived at the basketball gym, Arima and Yamada were about to leave, just waiting for Suzuki and Taiga to return and say goodbye to them.

Taiga said to Arima: "It's a family matter again?" ”

Arima nodded, "You know, there are a lot of guests in the afternoon, so it must be busy." I'll be able to sell out sooner if I go. But don't worry, I'll be here in the evening, and I don't want to miss the match between the two teams in the quarterfinals last year! ”

Yamada said: "Captain, in that game at night, it's time to call me to blow the penalty!" ”

Arima glared at him and said, "Think beautiful!" Or I'll come! ”

Yamada pointed at him and said angrily: "Captain, you can't cheat! ”

Arima pressed Yamada's hand and said, "What are you shouting, the people under the sun are still there, don't make jokes in front of the people from other schools!" ”

Yamada looked at Nakamura and Nonaka, temporarily stopped, and just muttered, "Then you can't blow two penalties by yourself." ”

Nakamura originally thought that it was Xiangbei's substitute who blew the game, but at this time, he heard Yamada shouting Captain Arima one after another, and at this time he also knew that he was not from Xiangbei, so he asked Dahe: "Dahe-kun, who is this?" ”

Taiga understood what he meant, and introduced them one by one: "They are from Odakiri High School, this is the captain Kentaro Arima, and the other is Yamada Okashi." ”

Nakamura chattered for a while, frowned, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Oda Kiriri in the first division, it's a pity." ”

Arima understood what he meant when he said pity.

The first division has Xiangyang, the country's No. 1 team, and the team assigned to this division is equivalent to insulating itself from the county competition finals in advance at the beginning, which is really hopeless.

Arima smiled optimistically and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, if you can really fight Xiangyang, it will be equivalent to playing the final of the national competition!" It's just that, with the strength of our team, even Minowa may not be able to pass this hurdle. Hit where you go. Anyway, if we can play one more game, we have already succeeded. ”

When Nakamura saw Arima say this, he didn't say anything more. Before grouping, they went to the shrine collectively to pray that they would not be divided into two groups, Xiangyang and Hainan.

It is precisely because the team has a certain strength that it does not want to meet strong opponents too early.

On the contrary, it is the teams that travel every year that can feel the joy of the game more.

Arima said to Nakamura: "Nakamura-kun went and returned, did you also have the idea of watching the match between Xiangbei and Wuyuan at night?" ”

Nakamura readily admitted, "yes." ”

Arima said to Nakamura, "Then you have to keep an eye on the new captain of Takeen, Kotaro Hayama." ”

Nakamura asked curiously, "Kotaro Hayama, who is he?" How did I come out I haven't heard of the name. ”

Taiga said thoughtfully, "Me too." Wait, his surname is Yeshan, I remember that the coach of Wuyuan is surnamed Yeshan, is there a relationship between them? ”

Arima nodded and said, "Kotaro Hayama is the nephew of Coach Hayama." I just transferred from Tokyo this year. ”

Taiga asked, "Did you fight him?" What is the location? ”

"I played him once last week on the public basketball court. Looking at the technical characteristics, like me, it's a small forward. ”

Dahe continued to ask: "I can let you introduce you so solemnly, and he has just arrived in Wuyuan as the captain, it should be more than just Coach Hayama's nephew, how about the level?" ”

Arima was silent for a moment, and said with some bitterness, "To be honest, I may not be his opponent. He's a lot faster than me, he's got a good bounce, he can dunk, but he's still going to score with a layup. I only saw that he had shot two, which was very stable, and both went in, and I felt that his range should not be too far. Also, I would like to remind you that his dribbling is very unique. ”

Dahe asked, "What is the unique method?" ”

"When he dribbles, he has a lot of power in his hands and the ball is very fast," Arima said. ”

Nakamura interjected and asked, "You mean, he can still dribble like this when he is breaking through at high speed?" ”

Arima nodded. When ordinary people dribble, the power in their hands is actually not large, and the first requirement of dribbling is to be able to control the ball well, not to make the ball so fast that people can't intercept it.

The players of the three teams present, as long as they are good at dribbling, rely on the cover of their bodies and the change of rhythm to prevent the basketball from being copied in the dribble, and no one chooses such a path to increase the speed of the ball. The reason for this is that the speed of the ball is increased, first of all, it will make it difficult for you to control the ball and make mistakes. Basketball is not a sport like tennis where you face each other across the net, it is full of physical confrontation, which means that even if a person practices this technique well, he will actively make mistakes in dribbling due to various changes in power in the confrontation!

Dahe immediately grasped the key point and asked, "This Hayama, how is his physical condition?" Especially the ability to confront. ”

Arima replied, "He's taller than me, not much, and he looks thin." However, his strength is not small, at least I didn't force him to make a mistake in the dribble. ”

Dahe nodded, "I have some scores." It seems that in the game with Wu Yuan at night, only I will defend against him. Yoshino is not fast enough, Endo has speed and height is a little worse. ”

Suzuki's attention is not on Hayama, no matter how strong he is, he is just one person, and if the other players are weak, he doesn't mind using the tactics against Oda Kiri to deal with Takeshino. Although Arima said that he was not as good as Hayama, in Suzuki's view, Arima's kaleidoscope and his offensive methods that he was good at winning with Taiga were not necessarily worse than Hayama. In a team, one player who can break through is enough, and if you don't do it well, it will fall apart because of the distribution of the ball, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Of course, if Hayama were to join Shohoku, Suzuki would still welcome him with both hands, and Taiga's versatility would allow him to pose a threat enough when playing without the ball, just like his old rival, Shoichi Imaiyoshi.
