The following week was a thoroughly busy one.

The additional two classes are nothing more than an average of one extra class hour per day plus one hour of homework correction time. The content is the same anyway, so there's no need to increase the time for lesson preparation.

Fei went to Suzuki to have a lot of rest time, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to chase the new American drama, there are three main culprits.

The first one is naturally the fifth round of elimination preparation for the Xiangbei basketball team.

This is the most crucial battle, if you win, you can be promoted to the round-robin of the finals of the county competition, and if you fail, you will be out immediately, and all the previous efforts and sweat will be useless, and there will be no third result.

For this reason, Suzuki dredged up the relationship, and did everything possible to get the video of Buri's game, watched it repeatedly, and studied Buri's tactical play and staffing.

For college basketball, every team, every year, is brand new, and the personnel changes are generally more than 50 percent, and sometimes 100 percent. However, for those traditional heroes, there are always some things that are engraved in the bones and inherited, and they are not easily changed by the gains and losses of personnel.

Buri's coach is named Takeuchi Genta, an insider far more expert than Suzuki, and like Mitsuyoshi Anzai, he used to be a national player, but the two are not from the same era.

It has been 10 years since Takeuchi came to coach in Buri after retiring from the game, during which time his body has grown like a balloon, making it difficult to associate him with the athlete of his time.

Suzuki does not look down on Takeuchi because of his appearance, and as a coach, Takeuchi is a very troublesome opponent.

Take last year's county tournament as an example, the reason why Burri failed to qualify was largely a crime of non-war, rather than Burri's own lack of strength.

In the first match against Xiangyang in the round-robin tournament, when facing the first center of the university, Shihara, the third-year main center of Buri at the time, Fukami, was injured unexpectedly and could not continue the game. This change disrupted Buri's arrangement, and Takeuchi had to let the power forward Ogata change to play center, and as a result, Ogata was completely defeated by Murasaki, and even the next two games were slumped, which led to Bururi's subsequent losses to Hainan and Lingnan.

If the Buri team is neat, it will not be a problem to fight Lingnan, and playing Hainan should also be a five-five game in Suzuki's opinion, but Suzuki is more optimistic about Wuli with Takeuchi coaching, and the on-the-spot command of Hainan coach Gao is also a little tenderer.

Fortunately, although Buri is strong, it was already last year, and among the five starters, four of them, including Fukami and Ogata, have graduated, and only three-point shooter Sato is still in the team, and is currently the captain of Buri.

Before the round-robin tournament, the top four teams only had one official match, but Buri was not idle, contacting several weak teams that were out early to practice.

On the day of the day, that is, on the day of the match with Xiangbei and Momiji, Buri went to Shenhetai High School to play a training match.

When Suzuki learned about this, he sent Takeshi Abe with a camera to secretly film, but unfortunately only a small half of the filming, Abe was discovered, and then he was expelled from Kamiwadai.

By watching the video, Suzuki found that there seemed to be a break in Buri's internal line, and it was in a period of inactivity.

This year, Burri's starting five are all short, and only one is more than 1.8 meters tall, which is not as good as Minowa and Oda Kiri.

However, from only ten minutes of video, Suzuki can see that Buri's strength is still very strong, and everyone has the ability to shoot from the outside, just like Minowa.

Unlike Minowa, Buri is shorter in height and faster.

In addition, the Buri players are quite good defensively, relying on their flexibility, they often use active pressing defense, interception, and frequent circumambulation, even if they fail to grab the ball and lose their position, the defenders are in place very quickly, leaving almost no flaws.

"Tsk, such a team is very difficult to entangle!" After watching the short ten-minute video, Suzuki exclaimed, "It's good that we have a big river." ”

Suzuki somewhat understands Coach Taoka of Lingnan why he is optimistic that Xiangbei can reach the top four this year.

Bururi's style of play is very lethal for a team that lacks a good point guard, and an active full-court defense can make the opponent unable to even organize the offense.

However, Xiangbei has one of the best point guards in the county, Takumi Dahe, whether it is physical or technical, Dahe is not afraid of encirclement, which is just the death hole of Zhengburi and minimizes the defensive effect of Buri.

"However, we still have to train everyone on how to prevent short players from stealing the ball." Suzuki muttered to himself, "Maybe I need to step up my high-altitude passing training." ”

Jingle bells! The timer's series of ringtones interrupted Suzuki's thoughts.

Suzuki pressed the power button, turned off the video recorder, then threw away the remote control, stretched out, and shouted, "Ikebana, how is the homework?" Are you done? ”

From the bedroom, Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice came: "It's done." ”

Suzuki got up, went into the kitchen, turned off the gas, then poured the boiling milk from the stainless steel pot into two porcelain cups, and shouted, "It's not early, let's go to bed after drinking the milk." ”

This is the second thing that takes up a lot of Suzuki's time, taking care of Sakuragi Hanamichi's daily life.

Kyopei Sakuragi, the father of Sakuragi Hanamichi, was a very special Japanese. He spent his school years in the United States, so his habits were very different from those of traditional Japanese.

Especially when it comes to bathing, sleeping, etc.

Both hate bathing with people, and both are used to sleeping in beds rather than on tatami mats.

This is also one of the important reasons why Sakuragi Kyohei and Suzuki get along, and Suzuki, who has the soul of later generations, is also decades ahead of his neighbors in the details of life.

Suzuki put the bed where Sakuragi Hanamichi usually sleeps in the living room. As a result, the living room became very crowded, so Suzuki moved the square table into the balcony to make room.

Sakuragi was doing his homework on the balcony just now.

Sakuragi Hanamichi sorted out her books and homework, walked through the bedroom, and walked to the living room.

Suzuki had already brought out two glasses of milk and placed them on the TV stand. He beckoned, "Take it yourself, but don't be in too much of a hurry, beware of burning your tongue." With that, Suzuki went back to the kitchen and washed the pot.

By the time Suzuki returned to the living room, Sakuragi had already drunk his glass of milk, was changing into his pajamas, and was ready to go to bed.

Suzuki said "so fast", and then said in a joking tone, "After Ikebana drinks milk, you have to grow taller!" ”

Sakuragi Hana said "um", didn't speak, climbed into bed, and pulled up the quilt.

Suzuki walked up to him, reached out and pulled up the curtain, enclosing Sakuragi in a small space, and then said, "Good night." ”

"Good night." To Suzuki's surprise, tonight, Sakuragi responded to him, he smiled slightly, turned off the lights in the hall, and said, "Don't go to bed too late." ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi's body stiffened, but he didn't expect that he was tossing and turning in bed a few nights ago, and the lack of sleep was not discovered by Suzuki.

Suzuki closed the door between the bedroom and the living room, and the living room went dark.

Sakuragi was lying on the bed, and two lines of tears suddenly lay down in the corners of his eyes.

Father......

Suzuki was aware of Sakuragi's insomnia at the beginning, but he couldn't help it, the pain of losing his father was not something that could be smoothed out by a sentence or two of comfort. Therefore, in the past few days, he has taken a lot of initiative in the purchase of real estate.

Suzuki and Akiko Horie agreed that it was time for Sakuragi Hanamichi to live in a different place.

This is the third thing that Suzuki has focused on this week.
