Chapter 168: The Direction of Advancement!
After the finals, the other high school teams in the stands began to leave.
There is no extra time for the Xiangbei players to digest the defeat, and immediately after the finals, it is the closing ceremony of the basketball project of the county competition, and the closing ceremony is held on this court.
I saw that the organizers of the competition moved a few small long tables towards the field, and then the trophies were placed on the long tables. The award ceremony was hurried and rudimentary. But as the participating team members, they don't care whether the award ceremony is grand enough, nor do they care whether the award venue is luxurious.
All they care about is whether these awards have anything to do with them.
For Xiangbei, who lost in the finals, the link of awarding honors is the most sad link.
"Winner, Lingnan High School basketball team!"
Watching the people of Lingnan High School walk up to the high platform under the guidance of the protocol and pick up the trophy of the county competition, the mood of the Xiangbei team members has sunk to the bottom.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Lingnan's Yusumi Jun and Shinomiya Tianye walked out of the queue, received the trophy and certificate from an unknown leader, and then returned to their team with a solemn face.
"Runner-up, county Xiangbei High School basketball team!" As the host's words sounded, Mitsui Shou, who was full of unhappiness, walked out of the queue, Akagi Tsuyoshi stood in place, sweat still hanging on his face and body, he didn't seem to hear the host's words, and did not follow Mitsui Shou out of the Hu queue.
"Hey, Akagi, it's time to claim the prize." Mu Du Gongyan was standing not far behind Akagi Gangxian, and seeing that Mitsui Shou had already walked away, Akagi had not moved, so he hurriedly poked Akagi's waist lightly and reminded in a low voice.
It was only now that Akagi Goken reacted, rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and walked towards the field.
"Brother.... Congratulations! Haruko Akagi watched Akagi Goken walk out of the queue and go to the podium with Mitsui Shou, happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart.
Akagi Gangxian has been playing since he was a child, and Haruko has watched Akagi Gangxian go all the way, but before today, Akagi Gangxian has never shown his face at the county-level award ceremony, and it is not until today that Akagi Gangxian is really one step closer to his dream of "dominating the country".
Only Haruko knows how hard Akagi has worked over the years. Akagi Goken and Mitsui Shou are different, although the two are of the same grade, but Mitsui Shou has carried honors, he has to work hard and have results. But Akagi Goken is different, he has to work hard, and he has never been recognized.
At this point, the two teams representing Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition have all been established, the champion Lingnan High School and the runner-up Xiangbei High School, these two teams will represent Kanagawa in the national competition.
And after the championship and runner-up trophies are awarded, it is time to award the players' personal honors.
The "Best Player Award" is also known as the MVP trophy.
There was no accident, and it was of course obtained by the Shinomiya Field of the winning Fang Lingnan High School. Shinomiya contributed 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the finals. Although he is far inferior to Jinguji Martial Arts in terms of individual scoring, his stats are more comprehensive and deserve the trophy of this MVP.
And the next best5 was awarded very artistically, the winning party's Lingnan High School occupied three seats, the center Yu Sumi, the four palace fields were actually the big forward, and the point guard was actually given to Xiandao.
God knows how Lingnan High School reported when it reported the attributes of the player's position.
There are two people in Xiangbei who were selected as the best5, namely Jinguji Martial Arts and Mitsui Shou. Except for Xiangbei High School and Lingnan, no one from the other teams entered the BEST5 award.
And this year's rookie king, it was not awarded to the four palace fields who got the MVP, but to the martial arts of the Jingu Temple, and the four palace fields without the championship bonus are far inferior to the martial arts in terms of personal data.
...
On a summer morning, the sky is as clear as a mirror.
Jinguji Martial Arts, who got up early in the morning, left home early and went to Fujima Shinichi's house for physical exercise.
After the finals, martial arts can be regarded as a painful experience, thinking about special training for their weaknesses. The existence of gyms in this era is not widely popular, but the master of martial arts, Fujima Shin's family, has complete equipment, and even a lot of more advanced equipment, which is not necessarily found in this era with money.
Jinguji Martial Arts is a disciple of Fujima Shinichi, and the master-apprentice relationship is second only to father and son in the Chinese cultural circle that emphasizes inheritance. Therefore, from the day of apprenticeship, martial arts has the key to Fujima's family.
However, over the years, Martial Arts has been focusing on the training of basketball skills, and the training in the direction of judo is generally carried out in the evening, so it is very rare to come to Fujima Shinya early in the morning like today.
In the equipment room, Jinguji Martial Arts is doing squats with 30 kilograms of barbells on his back, and the weight of Jinguji Martial Arts is not heavy, and the speed of each squat is very slow, but his face is already full of sweat.
Squats are the best training method to exercise waist and abdominal strength and leg strength, but any sport will use this training program. But Jinguji Martial Arts is the first time since coming to this world.
His usual way of exercising waist and abdominal strength is usually a crunch, or a goblet squat. It's the way to hold dumbbells with both hands in front of your chest and do a squat. And the barbell weighted squat is an exercise method that has never been used in martial arts.
In the past, because I was still in middle school, I was still young, and the barbell weight-bearing squat compressed the bones, which affected my growth and development. In addition, the martial arts did not feel much resistance in the competitions of their peers before, so the strength training was carried out, but it was not heavy.
But yesterday's defeat in the final made Takedo realize his shortcomings at this stage, and the main reason why Shinomiya Tianye was able to drive the whole team up with a breakthrough point was that Takemichi couldn't withstand the opponent's breakthrough when he was alone.
Why is the breakthrough ball called a breakthrough ball, first of all, what you have to do is to break through.
And the disadvantage of martial arts and the opponent is also because of the difference in strength between the two.
Now, Wudao no longer cares about the growth and development of high-intensity strength training such as barbell weighted squats, his height has reached 196cm, even if it is not long at all, he also belongs to the kind of tall guard on the guard line, if the height is longer in the future, it is also good, to ensure the speed and confrontation, it is not bad to play a small forward.
If you don't have to worry about the height factor, the training restrictions will be much looser.
Just when Wu Dao was concentrating on training, the door of the equipment room was opened. Dressed in a loose-fitting homely kimono, Shinichi Fujima held a newspaper in one hand and a teacup in the other, and slowly walked into the instrument room.
Seeing Wu Dao covered in sweat and doing squats with a barbell on his back, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Yo, you're doing squats, what? Stimulated by yesterday's game? That young muscular guy from Lingnan High School is causing you a lot of trouble? β
Fujima Shinichi walked to the rest area in the corner of the instrument room, put the teacup on the small table, shook the newspaper in his hand, and asked with a smile towards Takemichi.
"Did you go to watch yesterday's game, Master?" Wu Dao slowly stood up, put the barbell on the shelf, breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the towel on the side, and wiped his sweat.
"I didn't see it, but I know."
"I don't just know, I think, a lot of people do!"
Fujima Shinichi shook the newspaper in his hand towards Martial Arts, and said with a smile, it seems that his source is the newspaper in his hand. Martial Arts stepped forward curiously, took the newspaper from Fujima Shinichi's hand, and began to read it carefully.
This is the local sports daily newspaper, which is published once a day, but most of the time it covers popular sports such as judo, wild ball, and basketball, which really haven't been reported much before.
But today's newspapers are different, and basketball is not only reported, but even occupies the front page of the newspaper.
"ηθ γεΉγιγ,ε°ε€΄γγKanagawa γγ€γ³γΊ"
A big title catches your eye, "The King Ends, the Rising Kanagawa Twin Stars", and directly below the big headline is a photo of Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tanno shaking hands. A big close-up of the faces, the sweat on the faces of the two is clearly visible, it should have been taken when the two shook hands after the game.
Below the large photo is the relevant report, during which there are also fragmentary photos of martial arts and Shinomiya Field's personal court. The one in the four palaces is a frontal slam dunk, and the one in the martial arts is a backward jump shot profile.
The content of the report is to the effect that Hainan, which has dominated the high school basketball world for more than ten years, has lost, and this time even the right to participate in the national competition has been lost. The rising Lingnan High School and Xiangbei High School will be the new representative team of Kanagawa Prefecture.
After that, it was the media that hyped up the personal strength of Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tianye, saying that the two were the saviors of neon basketball, comparable to Jordan's super genius, and had the level of a national player in the first year of high school.
In short, it was blown a little hard, and Wu Dao blushed a little when he saw it.
However, Takeshi didn't pay much attention to the content of the report, and his eyes fell on the photo of himself shaking hands with Shinomiya Tianye at the top of the page.
"It's so obvious..... I didn't notice that there was such a big gap between the two of us during the game. β
"Is that what Master saw from this picture?"
This photo in the newspaper is a good photo of the demigods of Martial Arts and Shinomiya Field. Shinomiya Field's arm circumference is larger than that of Jinguji Martial Dao, and the still strong Martial Dao actually looks a little thin in front of Shinomiya Field. This is something that Wu Dao didn't find before, he knew that there was a gap in the strength of the two, but he didn't expect the gap to be visible to the naked eye.
"If the photo is okay, this kid's arm circumference is probably 40, and if this kid is a high school freshman like you, it will be a little scary."
"Your arm circumference seems to be in your early 30s, right? If an adult is exercising all year round, the arm circumference is generally around 35, like me, it is 39, which is considered to be very strong. Ordinary people can't have the power of me. β
"You're only a freshman in high school, and you're just beginning to develop, and your arm circumference in your early thirties is already very good, and your strength is definitely not small among your peers."
"But your opponent..... Scold! β
"Is that kid really the same age as you?"
It can be seen that Fujima Shinichi is very interested in Shinomiya Field, and the curiosity on his face is not hidden at all.
"Yes, although he and I are both in the developmental stage, he should have developed earlier than me."
Martial Arts looked at the Shinomiya Field in the photo and replied casually.
"That's also terrifying, I can't imagine that there are such people in basketball."
"There is really a gap between people and people about arm circumference, and it's not that you can grow it if you exercise."
"If you want to not affect speed and reflexes, there is a limit to the increase in strength."
"This opponent of yours is a prodigy, at least, I've never seen a high school student like this before."
"You should have played hard in yesterday's game."
Fujima Shinichi said with a little emotion, although he was born as an athlete and had never played basketball, he still has some understanding of basketball, and he can feel the mood of martial arts.
"It's really not easy, I have to fight twelve points in front of him, and I may not be able to prevent the other party."
"When you're attacking, you feel limited everywhere."
"I don't think I'm doing everything I can."
Takemichi muttered, his gaze never leaving the newspaper, his words seemed to answer Fujima's question, but more like he was talking to himself.
"Strength training is something that needs to be done, but you must not lose your character."
"I don't know basketball, but I know that every athlete has their own unique characteristics, and you can't afford to lose that."
Fujima Shinichi's words seemed to be enlightened, like a reminder, and he seemed to sense that the state of martial arts was a little gloomy, and reminded.
β......β
"I know, I won't be stupid to fight with each other, this is not my strength, and I won't lose the weapon I am good at in order to pursue the growth of power."
"However, if I want to get stronger at this stage, this training is absolutely indispensable."
"Master, can I ask you to be my trainer? I want to add weight. β
Wu Dao turned sideways, pointed to the barbell not far away, and asked.
"Thirty kilograms is really average, but you can just take it step by step."
"I will make an exercise plan for you, with your current development level, it shouldn't make a difference to spend half a year gaining 10 pounds."
"The plan for the future, I'll look forward to it later!"
Fujima Shinichi put away the newspaper in his hand, took a sip of water with a smile, and said towards Takemichi. Although Martial Arts is his disciple in judo, Fujima Shinichi has no opinion on martial arts at all, not to mention strengthening his physical fitness, which can also make Martial Arts make some progress in judo.
...
After the county competition, the basketball club of Xiangbei High School ushered in a three-day short vacation.
After three days, they will resume training in Xiangbei to prepare for the next national competition.
The players rested, but as a coach, Mitsuyoshi Anzai did not sit idle, taking advantage of this time to be free, Coach Anzai began to use his former contacts and began to collect information on the opponents of the national competition from all over the country.
Rolls of videotapes, pieces of information, began to gather in his hands, except for some counties that did not decide the team, the information of nearly 30 teams fell into his hands, and at the same time, Coach Anxi was also in retreat at home, studying the opponent.
