Chapter 69: The Kanagawa Four that Surfaced

After defeating Buri and qualifying for the finals of the prefectural competition, Suzuki let go of one thing and started to work on other things.

There are still two weeks to go until the start of the round-robin tournament, not long or short, not everyone has the same talent as Sakuragi, so it is generally impossible to practice any new skills in such a little time, so Suzuki and Taiga give everyone the arrangement of these two weeks of training, just to strengthen the basic ability of shooting and pace.

In 3 weeks and 4 rounds of games, although Xiangbei was crushed all the way, even in the face of Guandi Buri, there was no difficulty, but in these games, the players on the field more or less exposed some big or small shortcomings.

These details were filmed, made into a videotape, brought back to Xiangbei and played repeatedly, from which problems were found, and then corrected in a targeted manner.

The most direct beneficiaries of this technique are the second-year players.

Although the third-year players are not impeccable in the game, they are quite reasonable in the choice of movements, and the cooperation is also quite tacit.

The first year is a different story, they are still too immature on the field, and even Maki, who has played the longest time, has too much experience to accumulate. The main thing they did when they watched the video was to learn what to do and how to integrate into the rhythm of the team in their own position.

Of the five second-year students, Aoki was injured and had just been allowed to recover from limited ambulation, but he was not yet able to play sports, so he had to endure and work as a video recorder operator.

Imai's biggest problem is confidence, and it is the adjustment of his mentality during the game, and it can be said that there is not much difference between him and Mizuhashi in terms of technique. His problem cannot be solved by watching the video, but can only be solved by accumulating the accumulation of playing games again and again and getting used to the atmosphere on the field.

What needs to be corrected by the water bridge is the grasp of the timing. His range is a little farther than that of the Great River, and his hand feels like the best in the team, but the shooting percentage is not the same. Suzuki cautioned him not to be too reluctant when timing his shots, and that sometimes he could be smarter in his movements. Mizuhashi is a smart child, and he can understand it at all, and he doesn't need Suzuki's repeated admonitions.

Among the second-year students, Endo benefited the most, and through the comparison with Taiga, he intuitively felt the gap between himself in terms of running, passing routes, passing options, and shooting timing, and he was also the one who troubled Aoki the most.

Abe, who has never played, is working hard to train for three-point shooting. Suzuki didn't promise his position, but he practiced very hard.

Also focusing on training shooting are Miyagawa, Yoshino, and Lantau in the third grade, and Maki in the first grade. They are all important starters or rotation players, and every bit of improvement in shooting skills can add a little chance of winning for Xiangbei in the round-robin match.

Sakuragi started his basketball career, temporarily following Yanagisawa and Kuroda in the first year to do some basic exercises, he learned very hard, was not arrogant or impatient, and got started quickly.

Suzuki himself watched the footage of the matches of the three teams of Xiangyang, Hainan and Lingnan that he got from Yayoi Aida every night.

Suzuki watched the video of the Shoyo team and put it aside.

In addition to lamenting the strength of this king's army, Suzuki completely gave up wanting to compete with Xiangyang.

In the match with Sunrise West, the three main forces of Atsushi Shihara, Osamu Igarashi, and Shogo Ashizaki did not play at all.

Closely following a group of substitutes and rookies, Shoyo will defeat Hisunrise Nishi, who has a strong high school striker Okamoto and Arakawa, the MVP of junior high school.

Suzuki took particular note of three of the junior players.

No. 11 small forward Hama Okazaki. No. 12 scoring guard Ranmaru Miura. No. 14 center Shoichiro Hiroshi Hiroshi.

Okazaki is a very smart player, he has good technique and speed, but he is not the best. However, he behaved like a superstar on the field. Scoring, assisting, he's all! The reason for this situation is that he is not only able to give full play to his abilities to the greatest extent, but also can fully mobilize and rely on the strength of his teammates. In terms of running position and timing of shots, he is like a veteran ruffian who has played football for ten years, and he is flawless.

Ranmaru Miura is a left-handed three-point master, but it is not only his three-point level that keeps Suzuki on the sidelines, but also his calm expression that does not fit in with others on the court. It's a pretty good two-way guard.

The one that made Suzuki feel the most tricky was Shoichiro Roubayashi. As you can tell from the number, this is definitely a first-year newcomer. In the video, Suzuki sees that the red forest is almost a head taller than the giant Okamoto in the west of the sunrise.

Another Atsushi Shihara?

Suzuki shuddered and switched to a videotape.

In the fifth round of the knockout round, Rixia failed to knock out last year's top four team Lingnan like Xiangbei, but it was not easy for them to get to this point.

Taiyu Nakahara, a first-year center in the sunset, has improved significantly after many games, and the combination of him and captain Nakamura on the inside has caused headaches for Asakawa and Mitsuhashi in Lingnan. However, the shortcomings of the day are still the same, they do not have a single ace player who has the ability to open up the situation when the situation is stale. Today, after Yoshishoichi and Tokuda Eiji made their efforts one after another, the score of this game was suddenly opened.

In the second half, in addition to Kosuke Wakamatsu, a substitute center forward, Ryonan was replaced by another striker wearing the No. 13 jersey named Yuito Hoshina.

After the athlete with long hair was replaced on the field, he staged many wonderful air catches and violent dunks, which directly hit the morale of the sun to the freezing point.

From Momoi's record, Suzuki can see that Hoshina's performance in the second half is not inferior to Lingnan's original attack core Tokuda.

In the match with us, does Lingnan still have a hand?

With a little apprehension, Suzuki began to look through the footage of the Hainan vs. Minowa match.

There are two copies of the video of the match, one is the official video obtained from the organizer by Aida, and the other is recorded by Abe in the stands.

In contrast, Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief, at least Hainan did not have any strong faces in the game against Minowa.

The two teams played until the last minute to decide the winner. The Hainan team used the advantage of physical strength to drag down Minowa, which shows that in this game, Hainan used all its strength.

The only notable person in the Hainan team is Bu Shibu, who became the main force last year. This ace player, who was a small forward last year, mainly plays power forward this year, and sometimes plays the center position, which shows Hainan's embarrassment in height.

Aside from Bushi, the only thing Suzuki can look up to is their point guard, Yuki Jiro. This is another two-way guard on a level-above level.

A large number of newcomers in the Hainan team are newcomers, and the level is good, but they always seem a little immature. This may be because Hainan has only played this official match this year.

After studying the video, Suzuki felt a little confident.

Win Hainan, fight Lingnan, and fight for second, this is Suzuki's policy for the round-robin race.

Xiangyang? Don't mention them this year!
