Chapter 22: The List, a Warm-Up for the Succession.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that whether it is Xiangbei or Lingnan, there is no intention of keeping secret about their warm-up games, and the results of the two teams quickly spread throughout the college basketball world in Kanagawa.

The practice warm-up match between these two teams is not a rookie peck, but a training session for last year's semi-final and quarter-final teams for the upcoming county competition. As the news spread, strong and quasi-strong teams that were interested in performing in this year's county competition sent invitations to Xiangbei and Lingnan to practice matches to gauge their level and evaluate the goals for this year.

Not to mention Lingnan, just here in Xiangbei, there are six schools such as Wuyuan, Oda Kiri, Hamada Central, Sunset, Sunrise West, and Minowa to send people to contact, and most of these teams are on the newly released county competition battle table, and they are divided into the third division where Lingnan is located.

Correspondingly, most of the teams looking for Lingnan to play are teams from the fourth division.

This year's IH Prefecture Contest officially started on May 17, and it is only a week away.

Minister Ohga was going to pick a school to play another practice game, but Suzuki suggested that he let the basketball team play as many practice games as possible before the official game.

So, under the coordination and arrangement of Dahe, Xiangbei accepted almost all the invitations, and for this reason, all the games were held in the basketball hall of Xiangbei University.

On the afternoon of May 10, the team that played last year's quarterfinals was sunrise west.

After a night's rest, on May 11, we played Oda Kiri in the morning, and the opponent in the afternoon was Sunset, and in the evening we played the quarterfinals team Takeen in the third district.

Finally, at noon on May 17, the top eight teams in the first division of the first division were invited to play Minowa, who also had a bye, at noon on May 17.

In three days, five games, especially the three games in a row on the day of the sun, many people looked like earth. But no one complains, more games means that everyone will have a lot of opportunities to play and perform, which is what most people can't want.

The one-point defeat in the Lingnan practice match gave everyone a clearer understanding of their own strength and the strength of the strong teams in the county, and gave them a deeper understanding of their own shortcomings. Therefore, this week, Dahe arranged more training than before, but no one shouted that he was tired. Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, in order to be in an official match and not lose again.

Suzuki found that this difficult game with the Lingnan team seemed to have turned on a certain switch, and the technical and tactical level of many people had grown visibly in the subsequent training.

Progress as remarkable, is the defender Lantau Yangtai. His shooting seems to have inexplicably found a rhythm, his shooting percentage has almost doubled, and in the team's practice, he has been able to turn more than 60% of open shots into points. This data is not high, Imai, Mizuhashi and others have a level of seventy or eighty percent, which is much stronger than Lantau after the improvement, but Lantau has made progress enough to make him no longer on the basketball court, and he can be empty at will.

Yoshino's bouncing training began to show results, and he was able to touch up to 3.3 meters high, adding a slam dunk option to his arsenal.

Imai's range is stable outside the three-point line, but the accuracy is still a little lacking, and when the position is vacant, it is more than 40%, less than 50%, which is a little worse than the water bridge and the big river.

In addition, Miyagawa, Aoki, Maki, and Abe also shot a little better than when they first practiced, but unfortunately, they were not yet able to use it freely in the confrontation of the game.

The days of the week soon passed in a sweaty training again. The people of the Xiangbei basketball team soon ushered in the second warm-up opponent, the Sunrise West College Basketball Team.

However, before that, Suzuki first had to hand over the registration form for Xiangbei to the High Sports Federation.

To this end, Suzuki and Momoi remeasured the height and weight of the players in Xiangbei.

List of Xiangbei team:

School name: Kanagawa Prefectural Xiangbei High School

There are only 13 members of the Xiangbei basketball club and manager Momoi, so everyone wears jerseys and there is no need to fight. However, in Suzuki's heart, even if he has a jersey, there are still a few people among them, and maybe they will still wear the bench. At least, they won't get much of a chance to play this year.

For example, this one in the face of the sunrise in the west.

The race against Sunrise West did not start until 14:30.

Because although Sunrise West High School, like Xiangbei, has a half-day vacation in the afternoon of Toyao Day, this school is some distance from Xiangbei, and even if they put lunch on the train to Fujisawa, it will take more than an hour.

The leading teacher of Sunrise West High School, who is also the team supervisor, is a gray-haired old man who claims to be Yasuto Tanaka.

Seeing that he was about sixty or seventy years old, Suzuki hurriedly asked Yanagisawa to move a chair for him to sit down, and apologized: "Coach Tanaka, I'm really sorry to let you come all the way at such an age." ”

Tanaka politely waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and yelled at the members of the Sunrise West team: "Little guys, don't let me change my clothes yet!" ”

Suzuki's ears were buzzing with his roar, and he couldn't help but admire, this old man was really angry.

The captain of Sunrise West came over to shake hands with Suzuki, introduced his name as Okabe Shiho, and then exchanged pleasantries with Taiga, and took the team members to the locker room in Xiangbei.

Suzuki observed the players of the Sunrise West basketball team and found that only in terms of height, this Sunrise West team is still quite good, the height of the players is generally more than 1.75 meters, and there is also one person who exceeds 1.9 meters, compared with Xiangbei, it still has a slight advantage.

Fifteen minutes later, at 14:45, the game began, and the whistle was Takeshi Abe, a second-year player from Xiangbei.

The players of Sunrise West Jump Ball are the same as Xiangbei, the same center forward with No. 5 on his back, he is half a head taller than Miyagawa, and the bounce looks better than Miyagawa, with the advantage of a palm, he rackets the ball to his own half, and Sunrise West's No. 6 guard is in the hand.

Why is this No. 6 a defender? Because he is the only person in the Sunrise West lineup who is about 170cm tall, everyone else is significantly taller than him.

Being able to occupy a starting position in the west of Sunrise, where there are many long people, Suzuki immediately judged that he should have good strength, and shouted: "Imai, stick it!" ”
