Chapter 138: Dark Horse?
The last Coach Taoka to stay on the field were Uozumi, Kanhei, Ikegami, Uekusa and Hikochi.
This lineup slowed down again, but it was the best defensive lineup of the Lingnan team. This lineup is one to play the second position,Although the efficiency of the single attack is not as good as the team attack,But it is enough to resist the attack that is now affected by the Daei School Park。
What's more, Daei School Park is now almost 20 points behind, and the mentality of the players has also fluctuated, and the offense is impatient and the defense is full of holes.
In the end, in the second training match, the Lingnan team defeated Daei School Park 93-77, an unexpected victory.
In addition to the players, the coaches on both sides also have different looks.
On the fourth day of joint training,The players of Darong School Park are more desperate with disobedience to training.。
On the fifth day, the third training match between the two teams, Coach Taoka continued to explore the rotation lineup.
This time, Coach Taoka started to rotate in the first half. The actual effect of rotation is still to be seen in the game, whether it is at what point in time to start the rotation or who to keep on the court, you need to keep trying.
In this game, Coach Ito also tried to rotate in the second half, but the effect was not very ideal, and the substitute of Daiei School Park was too "substitute".
In the end, the Lingnan team defeated Daei School Park by 3 points. This is still the resilience of Daiei, and they were bitten to the limit several times when the point difference was about to open, and Tsuchiya hit three three-pointers in a row to help the team continue to live. However, it was only barely alive, and Da Rong was pressed by Lingnan until the end and failed to turn the tables.
On the sixth day of training, everyone felt that every movement had to use all their strength to achieve the posture standard.
Thinking about it this way, the physical strength of Sanno Industries, which has continuously dominated the country, is also admirable. Of course, it may also be that the strength gap in the crushing class makes their game consumption not so great.
On the morning of the last day of joint training, the last training match. Daei School Park vowed to win this game and maintain the last dignity, and the Lingnan team has already played confidently.
After the adjustment of the first three games, the number of players in the Lingnan team is basically maintained at eight. The average playing time of the starting five players was controlled to be around 30 minutes, while the three substitutes Grass, Cross Country and Guan Ping played about 15 minutes.
The Lingnan team's ability to sustain combat has been greatly improved, and this kind of rotation is extremely rare in high school competitions. Ordinary high school teams can't use this kind of "luxury" tactics, high school players often have a huge difference in personal strength, and it's a good thing to be able to ensure that the strength of the starting five is not bad, where there are suitable players for you to rotate. And it is very risky to use substitute players, and the strength of the substitutes is definitely not as good as the starter, which is very likely to be played by the opponent "A wave" directly open the score.
The theme of the last game is still the rebellion of the Daiei Academy.。 The resistance still ended in failure.,81:87,Daei School Park training match lost all four games.。
No one expected that such a result would be that a national tournament regulars would be completely overpowered by the recruits who entered the national tournament for the first time, and did not even steal a victory.
Outside the basketball hall, only Coach Ito and Tsuchiya came out to see the Lingnan team leave.
"Thank you very much for the advice you have received in the past seven days!" Coach Ogaoka saluted with the players.
Coach Ito bowed in response, but he had a bitter smile on his face, "To be honest, I was a little skeptical that I had made the right decision to agree to this joint training."
"After winning four games, Coach Taoka didn't know what to say when he listened to their complaints.
In fact, the skills of the players in Daiei School Park have improved,Especially Fujiwara Takuma,As a freshman in high school,After four training matches,The performance on the field is much more stable,There has been a significant improvement。
Of course, these advances still can't hide the problems caused by the low morale of Daiei Academy. The national tournament is about to start, and Coach Ito has a bit of a headache about how to quickly restore the team's morale.
On the bus back to school for the Lingnan team, Coach Taoka was about to fulfill his promise and take everyone around Osaka, but it turned out that most of the players had fallen asleep when they got on the bus.
Coach Taoka smiled and motioned for the driver to go straight back to school.
The joint training of the Lingnan team came to a perfect end.
When everyone was woken up from their sleep by Coach Taoka in the afternoon, they found that they had actually arrived in Lingnan.
Everyone regretted that they could not visit Osaka. But when Coach Taoka announced that he would rest in the afternoon and tomorrow morning, everyone cheered!
After seven days of training, it's time to relax.
----------------------------------------------------
The next morning, the Kanagawa branch of Basketball Weekly magazine, the editor-in-chief's office.
"Yayoi, don't you think there's something wrong with your report?" The editor-in-chief sat in a swivel chair behind his desk and pushed a document on the table over.
The editor-in-chief was about fifty or sixty years old, with thin-rimmed glasses, a neat back combed, and slightly white temples, which had a kind of majesty.
"Questions? Editor-in-Chief, what do you mean? Yayoi stood respectfully.
"Regarding the expectations of the Lingnan team in this year's national competition," Yayoi is also an outstanding employee in the editorial department, and the editor-in-chief spoke more tactfully, "Although Lingnan also defeated Hainan this year, you will not be exaggerating when you say this." ”
"I don't think so. There is no exaggeration in my description of the Lingnan High School basketball team. "Yayoi raised his head and looked directly at his later loss to Xiangbei, but in the end he still qualified first in the group, which in itself is a sign of strength."
"And, as I mentioned in the article, the Lingnan team just came back from Osaka yesterday, and they had a seven-day joint training session with Daiei Gakuen, and they won all four training matches during the period! You know,Darong School Park is a national powerhouse with a team rating of A.,Doesn't this show the strength of Lingnan High School? "The information about the joint training came from Hikoichi, and Yayoi stayed up late at home last night to add these contents to the article.
"I understand what you said," the editor-in-chief looked at Yayoi, who was a little excited, "As a native of Kanagawa, I hope more than anyone else that the team in this prefecture can do well in the national competition, and the strength of the Lingnan team is indeed very strong." It's just that Lingnan is still the first time to enter the national competition after all, so let's be more cautious and report it, right? ”
"Editor-in-chief, not to mention that the report itself needs a novel point of view to attract the reader's eye," Yayoi pushed the manuscript back on the table to the editor-in-chief, "In terms of authenticity, I also insist that there is nothing wrong with my article." ”
The editor-in-chief looked at the stubborn Yayoi, was silent for a while, and actually laughed, "Hehe, you are old, you young people are still motivated."
"Okay, this article doesn't need to be revised, let's take a look at what kind of results Kanagawa and Lingnan High Schools will achieve this year!"
The editor-in-chief stood up and slapped on the manuscript, only to see the huge headline on it: "There is no dark horse in Kanagawa, Lingnan, from the beginning it was to win the championship!" ”
