"Akagi, from today onwards, you take Sakuragi Hanamichi to practice inside skills, starting with card positions and rebounding." A new day's practice began, and after doing the basic exercises, Shen Long handed Sakuragi to Akagi.

Then he called Rukawa Kaede over, "Rukawa Kaede, have you watched the video, what do you think?" ”

Everyone says that Rukawa Kaede's prototype is Jordan, but judging from the future plot, he is more like Kobe Bryant in the years when the OK group was just disbanded, with perfect skills, but he is too persistent in singles, and often gets super high scores by himself, but unfortunately he can't bring more help to the team.

"Think about the situation when you played against Mitsui Shou, Mitsui can limit your score, but you can't limit Mitsui Shou well, why is that?" Shen Long continued to ask, and Rukawa Kaede was silent, "This is because in your basketball, there is no such thing as passing, Mitsui only needs to judge whether you break through or shoot, and even let other players cooperate to wrap up; And when you defend Mitsui, you have to think not only about his shots, his breaks, but also his passing. ”

"The more options your opponent has, the harder you will be to defend, and the fewer options you have, the easier it will be for Mitsui to defend; You can't beat a strong team with one person's score, not even Jordan; When you are in Fuqiu National High School, it may be because you don't have good teammates, so you can only put all the responsibility on your shoulders, but in Xiangbei, there are excellent players like Mitsui, Miyagi, and Akagi, who can provide you with a lot of help, and they will never let down your passing. This habit of his, obviously, was not developed in a day, and Shen Long didn't expect to be able to change it in a day, so after saying this, he let him practice.

Relying on Mitsui Shouhe and that video alone can only loosen his past thoughts, and then in the practice match, when he sees how Xiandao plays, it is estimated that it will be more touched, right?

On the court, everyone is training passionately, Miyagi quickly flashed Mu Dui's defense, gently stood on tiptoe before Mitsui made up the defense, and threw the ball into the basket outside the three-second zone, comparing several shooting postures, he prefers this Curry-style master throwing, fast shooting speed, high arc, difficult for opponents to defend, and the only thing to solve now is the problem of shooting percentage.

Mitsui Shou took advantage of the cover of Mu Du and Yasuda to make a figure eight in the half, from the right side of the court to the left bottom corner, and caught the ball and shot; Running around trees for half a month during the holiday has greatly increased his ability to run without the ball.

Yasuda and Ki Du practiced shooting at a fixed point, and they only needed to practice shooting in the few positions they were most sure of......

A week later, Sakuragi Hanamichi's card position, rebounding skills and appearance were presentable, so in the evening practice, Shen Long taught him a three-step layup, that is, the layup of the little man in the original book; By the way, now Haruko has also been pulled into the basketball team by Ayako, and seeing Haruko by her side every day, Sakuragi Hanamichi is full of energy.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's layup has also improved rapidly, there is no additional practice or special guidance in the original book, Sakuragi Hanamichi basically mastered these two techniques before the Lingnan practice game, and now with Shen Long's help, he has improved faster.

The time will soon come to May, and tomorrow will be the time for a practice match with Lingnan, Shen Long began to distribute the numbers in advance, out of personal bad taste, the numbers are the same as the original book, and Mitsui, a veteran of the third grade, had to carry the 14th in the back.

"Mitsui, the reason why I gave you the last number is to remind you of the two years you wasted, this is your last year, don't let it down." Shen Long taught.

"Coach, I will definitely lead Xiangbei to the national competition." Mitsui swears by it.

"What do you mean to lead? When did Xiangbei become your team? Akagi's face darkened.

"Someone actually scored 47 points for Xiandao last year, and it seems that Xiangbei still has to be saved by me!" Mitsui laughed, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede looked at him at the same time, and the Xiangbei basketball hall was filled with joy.

"I'm going to compete tomorrow, so let's practice here today, Sakuragi, you don't have to practice today." Pay attention to rest before the competition, and don't practice too hard.

"Dad, I don't want them to be so weak today, even if you practice all night, you can still easily play the whole game tomorrow." Sakuragi stayed, and after all this time, he already liked basketball.

The next day, the whole team of Xiangbei came to Lingnan by tram, Hikoichi greeted Sakuragi warmly, it seemed that they had already met, Shigeichi Taoka quickly came to Shen Long and bowed and thanked him, "Coach Anzai, I'm sorry to make you go all the way, Hikochi, go get a chair...... Stupid, it's going to die if you move such a small one, bring the big one over. ”

Akagi and Yuzumi, the two fateful opponents, shook hands tightly, and lightning flashed in their eyes, the ace Xiandao was late, and Fukuda did not appear in Lingnan's team, and it seemed that this guy was still banned.

"Okay, I'll announce today's starting lineup, point guard Ryota Miyagi, scoring guard Kotoshi Mitsui, Mu Twilight and Rukawa Kaede partner in the front, center Akagi, and the rest of the people are on the bench."

"Daddy, why don't you let me play!" Sakuragi pulled Shen Long's chin dissatisfied.

"Sakuragi, remember the last time we made a bet? It's the same this time, when you guess five times correctly, I'll send you on the field. Shen Long calmed Sakuragi and began to assign tasks to the rest of the team again.

"This is a practice match, you don't have to be too obsessed with winning or losing, I'll assign you some tasks, Akagi, you have to complete more than five blocks and dismantles with Mitsui; Miyagi, you have to make at least three three-second shots in the first half; Rukawa Kaede, you can't shoot more than three times the number of assists, which means that you have to contribute at least one assist for every three shots, otherwise I will replace you from the court...... "The previous practice is just practice, and many things have to be tested in actual combat before they can improve.

"Yes, Coach!" Mitsui and the others responded in unison, but Rukawa Kaede's mouth opened, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The game officially began, with two more cadres Mitsui Shou and Miyagi Ryota, Xiangbei and Lingnan fought back and forth, not falling behind at all, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was anxious.

Miyagi Ryota broke through the off-road defense and threw a shot, Rukawa Kaede flashed through the fairy road to enter the inside line, jumped high against Yuzumi, and was about to change hands to the basket, remembering the coach's advice, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew to the bottom corner, and Mitsui caught the ball and threw three points......

"Left...... ..... on the right or ...... on the right" Hanamichi Sakuragi nervously judged where the basketball would land, and finally guessed five times when the game was ten minutes into play.

"Daddy, replace me on the field!"
