Chapter 78: The opening of the county competition

"Remember, you are very strong, Lingnan was the top four team last year, this year Xiandao and Yuzhu are more mature, Lingnan's strength has improved, you can defeat such a team, it means that you have the strength to enter the national competition." Shen Long cheered them up at the right time.

Akagi and Ki Twilight have been losing in the first round of the qualifiers for many years, and Mitsui Shou has not played in two years, these children don't have much confidence in themselves, I believe that this game will be better after it! This is also the reason why Shen Long did not hide his strength.

"Coach Anthy, thank you for your advice." Shigeichi Taoka came to thank him, he has now begun to pray that the qualifiers will not be divided into a group with Xiangbei, I am afraid that even if Fukuda auspicious returns, it will not be easy for Lingnan to defeat Xiangbei, right?

"Oh ho ho and thank you for your advice, let's compete again in the joint finals!" Shen Long smiled and shook hands with Tian Gang.

The county competition has started in half a month, and after going back, Xiangbei continued to carry out high-intensity training, and some freshmen couldn't bear it and quit the team, and there were only 12 people left in the whole team, barely able to maintain the five-on-five training in the team.

"Hanamichi, you can't go straight to the basket like this, the opponent just needs to block your forward line, it's best to use feints to deceive the opponent and then go to the basket." Like the original book, Miyagi Ryota inexplicably became good friends with Sakuragi Hanamichi and began to teach Sakuragi feints.

"Komiya, is that so?"

"You're too fake, you have to use your eyes, move quickly, and give people the feeling that you really want to shoot, so that you can deceive the opponent."

On the other side, Mitsui Shou continued to instruct Mu Twilight and Yasuda to shoot, "Bend your knees slightly when you receive the ball, prepare to shoot, don't wait until the basketball arrives to prepare, so it's too late, it's difficult to get a real open shot on the court, and after receiving the ball, you will shoot decisively......"

The atmosphere in the team was very harmonious, but Rukawa Feng still had a cold face and rarely communicated with people, seeing him like this, Shen Long fell into thought.

Rukawa Kaede's bounce, speed, agility and reaction are all first-class, and it can be said that in the original book, it can be said that it is second only to Sakuragi Hanamichi's existence, and it can also be said that it is first-class in terms of personal technology, only slightly worse than Eiji Zebei, and the scoring ability is very strong, and the finishing ability is very efficient when the physical strength is abundant.

But such a player has long been outside the tactical system of Xiangbei, the core of Xiangbei's defense is Akagi, who guards the basket and uses blocks and rebounds to block the enemy's attack; The core of the organization is Miyagi, who uses fast breaks and break-through points to tear apart the opponent's defense; And Rukawa Kaede is just a great singles player for the vast majority of the time.

Sendo, Mu Shenyi and even Akagi have attracted the opponent's bag, Rukawa Kaede's scoring ability is not inferior to them, but in the comics, there is no time to enjoy the bag, there is only one reason, that is, it is not worth it, Rukawa Kaede's score will make the opponent feel pain, but it is not unbearable, it is not worth taking a bag to him and letting go of a vacancy.

Also, his off-ball ability is average, and he is not good at using running to create opportunities, which may be a problem left over from his junior high school basketball days, when he should have always received the ball from the outside and scored by breaking through with the ball, and rarely ran to catch the ball like Mitsui, which led to the defenders daring to drop him to wrap others when he was without the ball, such as Qingtian dropped him to wrap Akagi, and Sendo dropped him to wrap Akagi.

This may also be the reason for the lack of physical strength, after all, running without the ball also requires physical strength.

So Rukawa Kaede's shortcomings are physical strength, running without the ball and teamwork, no wonder Coach Anzai will be so excited to see Rukawa Kaede's pass in the first battle of the Mountain King, once this shortcoming is made up, Rukawa Kaede will become even more terrifying.

"Rukawa Kaede, you first follow Mitsui to practice physical strength and running without the ball! Singles technique is put first. After thinking about it, Shen Long issued a new order.

"Huh?" Rukawa Feng was stunned for a moment, and only answered for a long time, "Okay." ”

Maybe the tape and Sendo's performance on the court touched him a little, but these are not enough, let's talk to him seriously when I find a time.

"Daddy, what are we going to do tonight?" At the end of the practice, Sakuragi Hanamichi rushed over, "Why don't you teach me how to prevent fouls?" "It seems that yesterday's ejection left a deep memory for Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"There is no shortcut to how to prevent fouls, you can only slowly accumulate experience, and after the county competition starts, I will let you start, and I will not change you in the middle until you are sent off, so that you can grow quickly." Shen Long said, "As for tonight, let's see how well you can rebound and make layups before deciding whether to teach you new techniques." ”

"Coach, I also want to participate in the special training in the evening." Ryota Miyagi walked over.

"Coach, we want it too!" Mitsui Shou and Akagi shouted together, and Rukawa Kaede didn't speak, just stood silently next to Akagi.

"Miyagi can stay, all three of you go back to rest, your physical strength is not as good as the two of them, too much exercise is not good for you." Miyagi may be the strongest in Xiangbei except for Sakuragi Hanamichi, and he has hardly seen the footage of him being exhausted.

The others were unwilling to leave, took them to their own store to eat nutritious meals, and returned to the basketball hall to start another day of training, Sakuragi Hanamichi did basic exercises, rebounding and layups, and Miyagi practiced mid-range shooting.

This practice lasted for a week, and Sakuragi Hanamichi mastered these two techniques well, and Shen Long began to teach him how to shoot under the basket.

"The right hand is slightly open, the left hand is gently holding the basketball, and the knee ......is bent when catching the ball," Shen Long personally demonstrated to Sakuragi Hanamichi, "Use the strength of your wrist...... Sakuragi, do you understand? ”

"The right hand is slightly open, and the left hand holds the basketball ......" Sakuragi Hanamichi repeated Shen Long's words, jumped up, shot, and the basketball popped out.

"The first half of the action was done right, the wrist was too stiff when I shot, and then let's hit 200 goals tonight!" In the original work, Sakuragi Hanamichi learned to shoot under the basket in three days, and I believe he will not be slow this time.

In the blink of an eye, Sakuragi Hanamichi's daily shooting practice has increased from 200 to 500, but the time to complete it has not increased much, and he has now basically mastered this technique.

At this time, the grouping results of the Kanagawa County Competition also came out, and Xiangbei and the Xiangyang basketball team, the runner-up of last year's county competition and the top 16 of the national competition, were divided into a group; Seeing this result, Taoka breathed a sigh of relief.

Four days later, Xiangbei will face his first opponent, the Miuratai basketball team.
