Chapter 19: Haruko Akagi
In terms of training intensity, the Lingnan team far exceeds that of Xiangbei, especially in physical training, and it may be difficult for beginners to adapt.
In the original book, Yuzhu just couldn't stand the physical training, and had the idea of quitting the team, and was finally persuaded by Coach Taoka.
Now, this scene will naturally not happen again, and Yuzhu no longer has to kneel on the ground and say, 'Coach, I don't want to fight!' ''s frustrating words.
This sentence is in stark contrast to Mitsui Shou's 'Coach, I want to play basketball'.
Coach Ogaoka treats all players equally, and they receive the same training every day, regardless of whether they are regular or alternate players.
This makes it difficult for those freshmen, who are not used to this kind of training intensity, and many people quit the basketball team every day.
This is also the reason why the number of alternative players in the Lingnan team is far inferior to Hainan and Xiangyang.
Although there are many new students who have withdrawn from the team, the strength of the Lingnan team has not declined, and even under high-intensity training, it can be described as stable and rising.
By the way, due to the relationship of morning training, Chishang's newspaper delivery work had to end without a problem.
In order to maintain the training intensity of Ikegami, Uozumi secretly told Coach Taoka about this and asked him to figure out a way.
Then, Coach Tian successfully persuaded the chairman of Lingnan University.
In the end, the school stepped forward and paid a meal supplement for Ikegami, but it could only last for one semester.
In the future, if Ikegami's performance is not good, the meal allowance will be terminated.
Of course, there is no shortage but unevenness, and Coach Taoka also applied for meal allowance for other main players who performed well.
In addition, Coach Taoka also applied for a batch of new basketball supplies such as sneakers, jerseys, socks, and basketball bags in the name of the team, but only the selected players can enjoy them.
Since experiencing that intra-team match, Yuzhu has been fully recognized by his teammates, including Da Nan's hometown, which is in the same position as him.
Even if Yuzhu stole his starting position, Danan did not complain, on the contrary, he was very happy that Yuzhu was strong, and thought that this year's Lingnan team had a chance to go further.
For the sake of the basketball team, Danan was willing to serve as a substitute in his hometown without the slightest complaint.
That's high school basketball!
However, there is one senior player who is feeling the pressure, and he is Sasaki Oribe.
Ikegami is taller than him, stronger than him, defensively better than him, and trains hard, and Oribe Sasaki feels a serious threat.
If this is not good, maybe the starting position will be snatched away by Ikegami.
Of course, Sasaki Oribe is not without advantages, his shooting is better, he is full of physical strength, he has a lot of game experience, and he and his teammates are also coming more tacitly.
Under the strong sense of competition, Sasaki Oribe trained harder, and stayed and practiced every day, as long as Ikegami did not leave, he would not leave.
For this situation, Coach Tianoka is naturally happy to see it, no matter who wins in the end, in short, he will not lose.
However, his eyes are mainly focused on Yuzhu and providing the best training plan for Yuzhu.
He is well aware of the shortcomings of the Lingnan team, which is the lack of players who score consistently in key moments.
Although Yusaku Ozawa is good, due to his physical fitness, his performance at critical moments is not very good, and once he encounters a high-intensity defense, his efficiency will be greatly reduced.
Top players can change the team at key moments, rather than being trapped in the team environment.
Obviously, Yusaku Ozawa is not a top player, but Yuzumi can, not to mention that he can see Yuzumi's progress every day.
As for Yusaku Ozawa, it is already difficult to make big progress.
In Coach Taoka's view, Yuzhu is the future of the Lingnan team, and only when Yuzhu is strong, the Lingnan team can go further.
On the field, Inoue Toyoyo and Daisu's hometown are helping Yuzumi train.
Yuzumi's training program mainly focuses on footwork, positioning, defense and back play, and only by integrating these will his strength improve faster.
In addition, Yuzhu will also take two or three hours a day to exercise to further improve his physical fitness and enhance his internal deterrence.
In order to quickly improve the tacit understanding and teamwork of the players, Coach Taoka arranges an intra-team match every two days.
The difference is that Coach Taoka did not divide the new team and the old team, but played in groups in a random situation to record the state of each player.
Time flies, and soon, Saturday has arrived.
On this day, it is also the day when Lingnan and Xiangbei play a friendly match.
Lingnan is far away from Xiangbei High School, and in the original book, the Xiangbei team arrived in Lingnan by Shinkansen.
Of course, other means of transport can also be used, such as the small donkey ridden by the Sakuragi Legion.
Well, the picture of being overtaken by a child on a bicycle is so beautiful.
Instead of taking the tram, the Lingnan team took the school bus to Xiangbei High School.
This is also a benefit of being a private high school.
In less than an hour, I finally arrived at Xiangbei High School.
"It's the first time I've come to Xiangbei, and the area doesn't seem to be smaller than our Lingnan."
After stepping into Xiangbei High School, Yusaku Ozawa couldn't help but sigh.
Inoue Toyoshi looked around for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the facilities in the school are a little worse."
Compared with Lingnan, the facilities in Xiangbei are indeed more outdated.
"I don't know what the quality of girls in Xiangbei is? It's a pity, today is a Saturday and Sunday. ”
Matsushita Xujian's focus has always been on the opposite sex.
Suddenly, Sasaki Oribe suddenly spoke: "Aren't there three girls behind us, and the one in the middle is very cute."
The Lingnan players hurriedly turned their heads together, and sure enough, there were indeed three girls in the back, and the girls in the middle looked very innocent and cute.
She was dressed in a neat and youthful school uniform, with a kind smile on her face, her eyes were gentle like water, strong and bright.
Haruko Akagi!
At first glance, Yuzhu recognized it.
Compared with Haruko Akagi two years later, Haruko Akagi is obviously more immature now, but she still exudes amazing charm.
As for the two people around Haruko, they are still Fujii and Matsui, they are still students in the fourth middle school, and they will have to wait another two years to enroll in Xiangbei.
Among them, Fujii seems to have a crush on Sakuragi Hanamichi, which, of course, is a matter for later.
When the Lingnan team looked at them, they were visibly nervous.
Their attention is mainly focused on Yuzhu, it is not a question of whether they are handsome or not, but no matter where they are, the two-meter giant can always attract everyone's attention for the first time.
Haruko Akagi exclaimed: "Wow, it's so tall, I feel taller than my brother!"
"It's supposed to be two meters, but it's about as tall as my dad."
It was Matsui who spoke, and in SD, when Mikio Kawada appeared, Matsui had said that Kogawada was taller than her father, which means that her father was probably also a two-meter giant.
When they started talking about Uozui, the players of the Lingnan team were also talking about them, but their focus was on Haruko Akagi.
