Chapter 18: Special Training (I)

After Shigeichi Kooka announced the disbandment, everyone left the stadium one after another. The players who were assigned the number were very happy, which also means that he can participate in the county competition, after all, the numbers announced by Coach Taoka are from No. 4 to No. 15, that is, the 12-man squad, which can qualify.

In addition to the backup point guard Kumaji Itai in the senior year, there were more in the first year, and even the solid point guard Tomoyuki Uekusa was not selected, not to mention the defensive leakage Fukuda Yoshio, the lack of self-confidence Guan Ping, and the ordinary physical fitness of Tang Kitadaji.

Sendo and Naito, who returned to the dormitory after eating, were very busy, Naito was busy with his homework, and Sendo seemed to be working on some unknown tool, and they were all busy with their own things.

"Hey, Naito, we're going fishing this weekend. Xiandao played with the fishing gear he had made, which he had been working on for hours.

"Fishing?" Naito looked around the fairy path and continued, "Boy, don't you know that there will be special training starting tomorrow?"

"You know, are you going or not?" Sendo looked at Naito nonchalantly.

"No, I want to train, I don't have time!" Naito was not interested in fishing, and directly rejected Sendo.

"Beware of you becoming a training freak. Seeing that Naito was not interested, Sendo cursed.

"By the way, Naito, do you know where the sea is near here?" Sendo suddenly realized that he didn't know where the sea was to fish.

"I don't know. Naito touched his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"You ....." Xiandao was speechless,

"You don't know as a native of Kanagawa? Don't tell me you've never been out. Xiao Zhengtai wondered.

"Oh, boy, you're so smart, I've never told anyone about this, I didn't expect you to be known, you have to keep it a secret for me! Naito joked with a serious face.

"You ......" Xiao Zhengtai met the master, and in the face of Naito's joke, Xiandao was speechless again, glanced at Naito, turned his head and continued to play with his masterpiece-fishing rod.

Naito looked at Xiandao like a child, "hehe" happy. In fact, his own physical age is about the same as that of Xiandao, but his mental age is more than twice that of Xiandao.

"Boy, it's almost 11 o'clock, and you can't touch the fish from the rod again. Wash and sleep. Naito glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall, reminding Sendo who was still stroking the fishing rod.

Sendo turned his head and glared at Naito, continuing to play with his treasure.

Seeing that Xiandao was not a bird himself, Naito reluctantly touched his nose with his right index finger and went back to his room to sleep.

After joining the basketball team, I had to go to the indoor basketball hall to participate in training every afternoon after school club activities. Today is no exception, and the thought of the legendary devil training from today onwards makes Naito still have a little anticipation in his heart.

When we arrived at the stadium, it was still the same, and everyone was preparing in an orderly manner, waiting for the training clothes, sneakers and other things to be put on. Coach Shigeichi Taoka appeared, and the timing of his appearance was this point every time.

The first topic to enter is the collective discourse. No, after seeing all the players standing, Shigeichi Taoka started his speech again.

"Very good, everyone is here, no one is missing, and none of them are scared to quit the team because of what I said yesterday about special training. Speaking of this, Coach Taoka glanced at all the players, paused and continued: "Today is the first day, I don't know how many days you can resist?" I have set the period of special training for a month, as long as you can survive this month, I believe that you will greatly improve both in terms of ball skills and physical fitness. ”

"Young men, the time has come to test you, whether to persevere bravely or to be a deserter? "Before training began, Coach Kooka cheered up the players and boosted their morale.

"The first training program of the day was physical training. Coach Shigeichi Taoka's serious eyes swept over each player one by one.

"All of them, turn right. Listen to my whistle and start running around the pitch. Beep ...." whistle sounded, and the team began to run around the court in a neat manner.

"Keep up.... Hurriedly!... Hasten... With a whistle in his hand, Shigeichi Kooka was in the middle of the court, constantly yelling at the players who were running slowly.

After one, two, five, ten, twenty laps......

Coach Taoka screamed more and more, and the players ran more and more weakly.

It's still just an appetizer for Oka, and the main course hasn't started yet. The next off-the-ball training: full speed running, variable speed running, normal running, switchback running, interval running, etc.

There are also ball physical training: chest pass full court speed run, rebound pass full court speed run, full court fast dribble run, full court Z-shaped fast dribble run, sideline sprint to hit the board goal, half-court sprint in the corner of the free throw area jump shot, etc.

There is more time to train and less time to rest in between. This kind of training intensity is simply devil's training for them.

Two hours of physical training tossed them to the point of fluttering (desire), dead and alive, and miserable.

The club activity time is only 2-3 hours, and Shigeichi Taoka's plan is to use the club activity time, plus one hour of practice, for a total of four hours to arrange training, the first two hours to train physical fitness, and the last two hours to train basketball skills.

Physical training is followed by training in golf skills. Before starting training, Coach Ogaoka told the players to rest for 15 minutes.

"Naito, come here. Shigeru Taoka, who was standing at the door of the locker room, waved to Naito, who was sitting and resting.

"Coach, what's wrong with me?" Hearing Coach Taoka's call, Naito didn't care about resting and trotted directly to the door of the locker room.

"Naito, let's sit down and rest first. Shigeichi Kooka motioned for Naito to come in, pointed to the chair inside and said to Naito.

Looking at Naito's puzzled eyes, Coach Taoka explained, "I called you here to talk to you about your training plan. ”

"Oh, haven't you already set a training plan?" Naito was puzzled.

"Yes, I haven't been able to train since I joined the team and I haven't given you a position on the pitch. During last year's winter training, the spring manager arranged training for you to have both center training and power forward training. But for both days, you played as a central striker. Seeing Naito nodding, Shigeichi Taoka continued: "Do you think I will arrange you to be a substitute for Yuzhu?" Listening to Shigeichi Taoka's words, Naito nodded.

"Actually, my real intention is to let you play power forward. With you sitting at the power forward, you can form a twin tower with the fish pillar on the inside. You are the main defense, the fish pillar is the main attack, and your interior line has one defense and one attack, and the duel will become a pair of super interior combinations. ”

"Oh!" Naito was a little disappointed, but it didn't show on his face.

"Here's what I planned....... "Shigeichi Kooka gave Naito several tasks on the court, and that's how he plays in training and in prefectural tournaments.

First, on the defensive end, he has to resist the opponent's strongest player, and if it is an opponent with poor shooting, he must observe the situation and block the opponent's player who breaks into the interior at any time.

Second, protect the rebounding ball in the backcourt. To put it bluntly, it's to grab rebounds. Shigeichi Taoka doesn't have to take the rebound, as long as the opponent's person is stuck outside, it is convenient for his teammates to compete for rebounds is also a complete task.

Third, on the offensive end, when Naito doesn't need to attack, coming out to cover will give people the opportunity to play joint defense, and he has to move under the baskets on both sides, waiting for opportunities to grab two rebounds to score and cut to receive passes.

This way of playing is difficult to obtain data, and it is a typical blue-collar coolie, and the dirty work of the whole team is left to Naito.

In his previous life, he liked super scorers like Kobe, Wade, and James, and Naito often imagined that one day he could become a scoring master like Kobe, Way, and Zhan, and use scoring to solve problems, but now he must obey the coach's arrangement and start from defense.

Hearing Shigeichi Taoka's plan, Naito's face was still as indifferent as usual.

But he also knows his disadvantage, that is, he has never played in a regular tournament and has no experience in the game.

"Maybe you don't know much about the functions of each position. Coach Taoka asked Naito again, and Naito nodded.
