Chapter 16: Intra-Team Rivalry (I)

Since today is the first day of the new semester, the rookie selection tournament is over, and Shigeichi Taoka did not arrange training, but only told Naito, Sendo and the old players in the second and third grades about this year's training plan and goals, and disbanded the team after speaking.

Following everyone out of the arena, Naito returned directly to the dormitory, and since he put his luggage in the dormitory in the morning, he has not entered the dormitory until now. As I walked, I found that there was another person behind me, and when I looked back, I was a genius boy, and Coach Taoka dug up Akira Sendo from Tokyo. The head of the hedgehog, with a sunny and handsome face, is very small.

"Hey, hello! I'm Akira Sendo from Tokyo," Shota Sendo greeted with a smile when he noticed Naito, who was walking in front and turned back.

"Hello, I'm from Kanagawa Prefecture, Tetsuya Naito. Naito stopped and introduced to Sendo.

"Presumably you're the one who shares the same dormitory with me, right?" asked Sendo as he walked, and the two walked in one direction.

"If there is no other special enrollment, it may be me!" Naito said humorously. Sure enough, the two really lived in the same dormitory, and when they walked to the door of the dormitory one after the other, the two took out the keys at the same time, "You....", "You ....." looked at each other, and put the keys away at the same time.

"You open ......"

"You open ......"

At the same time, the two of them took out their own keys.

"Haha!" the two of them laughed at the same time, "I'd better come!" Xiao Zhengtai Xiandao took the lead in inserting the key and opened the door.

With the scene of tacit understanding at the door, after the two entered the dormitory, they had nothing to do, and Xiao Zhengtai, who was familiar with some self-acquaintances, took the initiative to chat, and soon the two chatted together. After graduation, I live in a dormitory, I don't see each other when I look up and look down every day, and I am also teammates on the basketball team, so I can increase the tacit understanding between the two on the court after chatting with each other. Of course, there are also people with bad intentions, and they will also think that if the two are familiar with each other, they may still have a relationship, but this idea is too evil.

The next day, when classes began, both of them got up early in the morning and went to the dining hall to eat after packing up. One is in class 3 and the other is in class 5, although they are not in the same classroom, it does not affect the two of them to go together.

The curriculum offered by ordinary high schools in Japan is the same, with a total of 43 subjects in several fields such as Chinese, geography, history, mathematics, science, health care, art, Chinese, and family. Tea ceremony, etc., to provide students with choice, instructors are all served by school teachers, to meet the development needs of students at different levels, and in addition to the normal course teaching, students voluntarily choose to participate in school activities after school (generally at 4 p.m.) to participate in school activities, such as basketball, baseball, music, art, kendo, judo, tea ceremony and other club activities, the time is 2-3 hours.

This is the first time Naito has taken classes in high school, both in this life and in his previous life, and although there are many courses offered in high schools in Japan, it can't stop his enthusiasm for learning. Knowledge is power, as a player, you can't just practice and don't learn knowledge, the more knowledge you have, the more you can increase a player's ball quotient. On the first day of the lesson, Naito studied very seriously, and it was a rare opportunity to learn, which would have been impossible in his previous life.

As long as you do something seriously, you will find that time flies quickly. When the time came to four o'clock in the afternoon, the school bell also rang, and after school at four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time for club activities in the school.

After packing up his books and textbooks, Naito began to go to the school indoor basketball training program. As soon as I came in from the door, I found that many teammates in the stadium had changed their clothes and started to warm up inside, and some of them came in one after another.

When everyone was ready, Shigeichi Taoka appeared at the door, followed by Coach Taoka, the manager of the basketball club, Sakura Hoshino.

"Beep beep beep!!" Shigeichi Taoka, who walked to the center of the arena, blew the whistle in his mouth.

Collections

Regardless of whether the new players or the old players were "swishing", they rushed to Coach Taoka and stood in three rows according to different grades.

The first is the introduction of the five freshman players left over from yesterday, followed by Tetsuya Naito and Sendo, and finally the introduction of the players in the second and third grades.

Smack!

After the introduction, Coach Tian Gang clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction after seeing that all the players were focused on him.

"Today is April 9th, and there are still a month and ten days left until the opening day of the Kanagawa Prefectural Tournament on May 19th, and in order to achieve good results in this prefectural tournament, the team will have a month-long special training session from tomorrow. I hope you will be mentally prepared and not think about quitting the team because you can't stand it. This year, I made a promise from the school's governor that I would definitely reach the joint finals of this year's county competition. Coach Tian Gang glanced at every player present one by one, and did not hide his ambition in his heart: "I have a lot of confidence in you, but I don't know if you have confidence?"

"Yes!" the players shouted in unison.

"Very good, I believe that you can do it and create the history of the Lingnan college basketball team, because you have that strength. Shigeichi Taoka made a morale-boosting speech.

There are a total of 15 regular players on the college basketball team, and when it comes to the county tournament, only 12 players can sign up for each game. In other words, even if they become the main players, there are still three players who cannot participate in the county tournament and do not even have to sit on the bench. And this is actually designed to strengthen the competition within the team, in order to make the players have a sense of crisis and strive to improve the level of basketball.

The strength of the players is reflected in the game, and Shigeichi Taoka prepared an intra-team match, which is to put it bluntly that the senior will play against the freshmen of the first year.

When Shigeichi Taoka announced the intra-team competition, the veteran players of the second and third grades basically showed a cruel smile, maybe for them this is simply a dish, they can cut how they want, in addition to the overall and individual strength of the senior students, the most important thing is the huge gap in cooperation, you can't pray that the first-year freshmen can play an unimaginable cooperation.

The players were divided into red and white teams and began a 5v5 group confrontation, and the confrontation match was timed according to the normal game. The red team in the red vest is the freshman player in the first year, and the white team is the main player in the second and third years. In the intra-team competition, it can be said that each of the main selections has a chance to play.

The red team, composed of first-year newcomers, finally sent the starting lineup after several players discussed: center Tetsuya Naito, power forward Fukuda Yoshio, small forward Akira Sendo, scoring guard Hiroaki Hiroaki Off-road, organization guard Tomoyuki Uekusa, and substitutes were Guan Ping and Tsukasa Karakida. The reason why Guan Ping did not get the starting qualification was entirely caused by his unconfident character.

The white team composed of the second and third years formed five starting lineups: center Uoju Jun, power forward Inoue Toyose, small forward Ryoji Ikegami, scoring guard Noma Xiang, organization guard captain Matsushita Asahi Ken, substitutes: power forward Omonto Musashi, small forward Ogata Daiyu, scoring guard Hikaru Kondo, playmaker Hiroshi Nohara and Kusuji Itai.

The two sides began to warm up, to put it simply, under the command of Coach Tian Gang, they first trained for about 20 minutes, and waited until the body was completely active before warming up and the warm-up was completed.

In addition to giving full play to the strength of the players, this is to greatly reduce the tendency to get injured, which is also the benefit of warm-up.

After the warm-up, as the whistle blew, the game officially began!

Naito pressed the fishpost, touched the ball first, and gave the ball to Uekusa.

Seeing that the white team returned to defend quickly, Zhicao passed the ball directly to Xiandao, who had just passed the middle circle.

After receiving the ball in the midcourt, Sendo calmly passed the half court in a few steps, and Ikegami was already waiting for him on the three-point line.

Sendo slowly controlled the ball at the top of the arc, looking for an opportunity to score. Yesterday, Chi Shang, who had already admired the diversity of the Immortal Dao and broke through the attack, always looked calm, and guarded tightly in front of him with his hands open.

The Small Forward is the most important scorer on the team, and he also has to be good defensively. A good small forward must not only have enough height to score under the basket, but also have excellent speed and score with fast breaks and breakaways.

The first ball was naturally played by Sendo, who is a small forward.
