Chapter 162: Why Xiangyang Has Five Places
Center: Uozumi (Ryonan), Masao Watanabe (Buri), Kazuhiro Ikeda (Hainan)
Power forwards: Taro Aso (Shoyang), Masayasu Watanabe (Buri), Toru Hanagata (Shoyang)
Small forwards: Takamiya Motoyu (Hainan), Matsushima Kazuto (Xiangyang), Ryoji Ikegami (Lingnan)
Quarterbacks: Yusaku Ozawa (Lingnan), Totoshi Mitsui (Xiangbei), Yuya Kimura (Shoyang)
Point Guards: Makikochi (Hainan, Kenji Fujima (Shoyang), Koichiro Nohara (Buri)
Looking at the names on the list, Yusaku Ozawa calculated carefully and found a problem.
"That's not right, why is Xiangyang selected five people, but as the champion of the county competition, we only have three!"
"I'm afraid I'm to blame for that! If I am named a coach, I will definitely prefer my own players like Coach Kaneda. ”
Coach Taoka shook his head, this is a difficult question to solve.
Whoever is chosen as a coach will definitely gravitate towards their own players, which is a very common phenomenon.
This is the so-called principle of the right not to expire.
In this list, in addition to Xiangyang, which accounted for five, Lingnan, Hainan and Buri each accounted for three places, and the last place was grabbed by Xiangbei.
Poor Akagi Tsuyoshiken, even though Uozi thought that his strength had reached or even surpassed Ikeda Kazuhiro, he was still not selected.
The reason is also very simple, Akagi Goken's performance in the prefectural competition is at most equal to that of Kazuhiro Ikeda, but it is much worse in terms of fame and influence.
As for why Mitsui Shou was selected, it was mainly because "Basketball Weekly" ranked Mitsui Shou alongside Uozumi, Makishiichi, and Fujima Kenji.
If Mitsui Shou is eliminated, it may cause twists and turns, not to mention that Coach Kaneda knows Mitsui Shou's strength very well, and in that county competition, Mitsui Shou and Fujima Kenji exploded each other.
In the end, Mitsui Shou is still a marksman and can increase his tactical options, which is probably the main reason why Ikegami was selected.
Lingnan, as the champion of the county competition, has a place in the top four in the country, even if it is jokingly called a 'one-man team' by many people, but how can it be given three places, otherwise it is unreasonable.
Given that the other positions are made up of famous players or Xiangyang players, there is only one vacancy for small forward.
Coach Kaneda chose Ikegami because he had a good defense and mastered a three-point shot, which might be helpful to the team.
Of course, this is also related to Ikegami's performance in the national competition.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you have to go to the Xiangyang Basketball Stadium to gather, remember not to be late, otherwise you will be disqualified."
There is still half a month before the start of school, and Coach Kaneda decided to gather the players in advance and want to run in the lineup.
In addition, he heard that strong prefectures such as Aichi Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture had already run in the lineup first, and he was also eager to not want to fall behind them.
He knows very well that in order to get good results, in addition to the players being good enough, the run-in of the squad is also a problem.
In this regard, the Akita Prefecture team is undoubtedly ahead of all the teams.
There is no way, the players of the Akita Prefecture team are all composed of Sanno Industrial players, and they naturally surpass other teams that are like a mess of scattered sand.
No one can deny this.
Akita Prefecture has a strong lineup of players and is very cooperative, and is recognized as the favorite to win the championship.
As for Kanagawa Prefecture, although the lineup of players is not inferior, it is currently a mess of sand, and there is no tacit understanding at all, and I don't know how far the lineup can be run in when the autumn national sports tournament begins.
Coach Kaneda knows very well that the run-in of the lineup cannot be delayed at all.
"We'll go over together at eight o'clock tomorrow!"
Yuzhu discussed with the two of them, Xiangyang University is not far from Lingnan University, and it is only a twenty-minute walk.
Coach Taoka didn't stay long and chose to leave.
The three of them continued to train, and Yusaku Ozawa began to teach some of his dribbling skills, but as for whether it would be useful to Yuju, it was hard to say.
What Yusaku Ozawa didn't know was that Uozawa could test the effectiveness of these techniques based on the decimal point change on the data panel.
With a good technique, the decimal point on the dashboard naturally grows faster, and vice versa.
By the time it was time to disband, Yuzhu initially memorized a few dribbling tips that were more suitable for him.
The next morning, the three of them came to Xiangyang University.
Xiangyang University covers an area quite wide, a few points larger than Lingnan, with complete facilities, because it is still in the summer vacation, the campus seems to be very empty, and there are few pedestrians.
Not long after, Yuzhu and others walked into the Xiangyang Basketball Stadium with a familiar car.
Since the end of the county competition, Lingnan and Xiangyang have often competed, and Yuzhu is naturally more familiar with Xiangyang.
As soon as he stepped into the basketball hall, Yuzhu saw a familiar figure.
Mitsui Kotobuki!
At this time, he was practicing his three-point shot, and judging from the sweat stains on his face, he was probably coming for a while.
When he heard footsteps, Mitsui stopped his movements and turned his head to look at the door.
"Morning, Mitsui!"
Yuzhu and others greeted Mitsui one after another.
Mitsui casually picked up a towel from his seat, wiped his sweat and complained, "It's too late for you guys, I'm about to shoot a hundred three-pointers."
In the face of Mitsui's complaints, Yuzhu couldn't help but say teasingly: "You guy can't sleep because you're nervous, so you came here so early."
"Why, I'm not Akagi!"
Mitsui's eyes dodged and refused to admit it.
Chishang looked left and right, and couldn't help asking, "What about the others!"
"They haven't come yet."
"Weird, who opened the door for you?"
"Fujima!"
"What about the others?"
"Morning Run!"
At this time, Yusaku Ozawa suddenly said: "No, Xiangyang, as the host, how can they arrive before us."
Chi Shang said mysteriously: "I heard that Xiangyang is now divided into three camps."
"I want to hear about it!"
"One is the reformers led by Fujima, mainly the new students; A conservative faction led by Coach Kaneda, dominated by old students; The rest are neutrals. ”
"How I haven't heard of it."
"Didn't I take on the job of delivering newspapers again during the summer vacation, and the other day I delivered the newspaper to Takano's house, and that guy was staying with Hasegawa and Nagano, and I happened to hear their conversation at the time, and all three guys were very supportive of Fujima."
Due to the poverty of his family, in order to ease the burden on his family, Ikegami started working odd jobs again during the summer vacation.
"The contradiction between them may have been further intensified, which may have twists and turns for the next Autumn National Sports Competition."
"Nerve-wracking!"
Yuzhu muttered and said: "Why do you want to do so much, whatever, it's not our team!"
"Makes sense!"
"Don't waste time, train now!"
Yuzhu and the others gossiped for a while, and then started training.
It didn't take long for the players selected for the Kanagawa team to enter the basketball arena.
When it was almost time to assemble, Coach Kaneda finally arrived and began to roll call.
"Why didn't Kazuhiro Ikeda arrive at Hainan High School?"
Coach Kaneda frowned, looking very bad, and when he was questioned, his eyes fell on Makishiichi and Takamiya Motoyu.
