After the game between Xiangbei High School and Hainan, it was followed by the game between Lingnan High School and Xiangyang, and the result of the game, as everyone expected, Lingnan won the game with an absolute advantage of 103:66.

So far, Xiangbei and Lingnan have won two wins, while Hainan and Xiangyang have lost both teams and have completely lost the chance to qualify.

Although Kanagawa Prefecture's seat for the national tournament has been established, there is still a match between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan, which has touched the hearts of almost all Kanagawa Prefecture fans.

The local fans are different from the fans in other prefectures, and the fans in other prefectures may only know one "national champion Lingnan High School", but the local fans in Kanagawa Prefecture know that Xiangbei High School is a super strong school that truly has the strength to challenge the national hegemony.

In the local area, the reputation of Xiangbei High School is not weaker than that of Lingnan High School.

...

Akita Prefecture, Sanno Industrial Basketball Stadium.

At this time, Sanno Industry is engaged in a practice match, and the opponent of Sanno Industry is a mixed coalition composed of previous Sanno graduates.

The scoreboard on the sidelines came to 23:21, and the high school students led by Masashi Kawada, Kazunari Fukatsu, and Eiji Sawakita took the lead.

"Go up and defend! Stick it on the defensive! ”

"Stop that kid in Zebei!"

In the middle of the court, a senior of the king of the mountain stood on the inside line and commanded his teammates loudly. Outside the three-point line, Eiji Zebei, who was holding the ball, accelerated to break through after changing direction in front of a body, and at the moment when the defenders followed up, he stopped and started urgently, brushed away the opponent in an instant, and then shot a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

The flurry of movements kept the graduate off guard, watching the basketball fly over his head and into the net.

With the basketball entering the net, the graduates also helplessly crossed their hands on their waists, turned their heads to look at the position of the basket, and exclaimed:

"The junior's attack is really sharp!"

"A college star like me isn't your match anymore."

"With your strength, you can directly enter the university and play ball, and you can directly integrate into it."

"It's hard to imagine! Our mountain king is so strong, what kind of school can stop us? ”

"Zebei, how about coming to our school after graduation? Our school is one of the best super schools in the country~"

In the face of the praise and invitation of his predecessors, Zebei Rongzhi only shook his head and said:

"Thank you Toriyama for your support, but I've already decided that after winning the title of No. 1 in the country, I'm going to play in the United States."

"I want to go to higher places and hone my skills."

"Toriyama-senpai, the world is big, really.... It's huge. ”

When Eiji Zebei said these words again, there was actually a little disappointment in his eyes, this disappointment was not for himself, but for the senior who graduated from the mountain king in front of him.

The main reason why they will play a practice match with these graduates today is that Coach Domoto made a decision after seeing the matches of the two teams in Xiangbei and Lingnan that day.

After he found these graduates, he deliberately made some restrictions for these graduates, so that these graduates could restore some of the characteristics of playing in Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School as much as possible.

In this way, Shenjin, Zebei and others can play a scene match, simulating the situation on the national stage in the future after meeting Lingnan or Xiangbei.

But now that the game has been played, Goro Domoto was surprised to find ..... Not like!

Even if these graduates try their best to imitate Xiangbei, the whole team does not feel like Xiangbei High School at all.

The other positions are okay, although there is no verve, but the skills are somewhat similar.

And the supermodel opposite Zebei Eiji is like the "trump card" of Jinguji Martial Arts, which is not like anything.

This point was the first to be noticed by Eiji Zebei, after all, it was a player who was directly opposed, and the feeling that Toriyama's seniors gave him was just a "college student who played well", and the sense of horror and oppression that Jinguji Martial Arts conveyed when standing on the court was not possessed by Toriyama at all.

Technically, Toriyama is very comprehensive, he is a qualified small forward, after all, he is the main scorer of the university, and Toriyama is not lacking in level.

However, in the eyes of Zebei, Toriyama's technique is still insufficient, and it is far from the level of Jinguji martial arts.

But it's really normal, although Toriyama is a college student, and his height has reached 191cm, but the gap between him and Jinguji martial arts Xiangbei is still obvious.

Through a simple counterpoint to Zebei Eiji, he knew that this senior was far inferior to Jinguji martial arts, and he couldn't give him the kind of "sense of oppression" he wanted.

The kind of oppression that can be clearly felt even if you sit on the sidelines.

Goro Domoto has been watching the game from the sidelines, and after more than ten minutes of play, Goro Domoto has actually sensed the problems of the senior team. He originally thought that this group of graduates formed by previous mountain kings would be able to imitate Xiangbei and bring some experience to today's mountain kings.

But the fact is that the strength of this mixed coalition army is not as good as the Xiangbei High School he has seen.

In other words, these graduates can't imitate Jinguji martial arts at all!

In the middle of the court, the offense and defense were switched, and the graduate team created a small open space opportunity for Toriyama through the transmission, and the latter received the ball and threw it firmly into the basket.

The transmission of the graduate team is very smooth, far above the level of "high school", but the people of the mountain king feel full of disobedience.

"In the final analysis, the seniors are just playing in the martial arts of the Jingu Temple, and it is difficult to change the style of the ball engraved in the bones."

"If it's Jinguji Martial Arts, this attack will definitely come by itself, and it won't rely too much on running to create gaps for itself."

"Moreover, the gap in standards is too big..."

Although Eiji Zebei let the opponent get a goal in front of his face, he was still full of disappointment between his eyebrows.

Goro Domoto, who was on the sidelines, rubbed his chin, sighed softly, and said to himself:

"Xiangbei can't be imitated, so it seems that Lingnan High School, I'm afraid there is no way to imitate."

"The souls of the two teams, Jinguji Takemichi and Shinomiya Tano, are obviously star players who have surpassed the high school level."

"With Zebei's current strength, he should be able to compete with those two people..... Right? ”

In the court, when the mountain king attacked, Eiji Zebei held the ball, and Eiji Zebei, who received the ball sideways outside the three-point line, quickly swept the ball in the basket, and after two steps in the direction of the rapid drop ball, he directly pulled up and projected, stepped on the three-point line, and sent the ball out of his hand.

"Huh!" The basketball went into the net with a soft sound, and Eiji Zebei, who scored the goal, showed a confident smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart:

"Sure enough, that guy's skills aren't that difficult..."

"I can easily reproduce it!"

"My current strength will definitely not be weaker than him!"

....

Kanagawa Prefecture.

After the fierce battle with Hainan, Xiangbei High School finally ushered in a one-week truce. Considering the close proximity of the game to Lingnan, Coach Anzai also warned Mitsui Shou not to impose too many training tasks on the main players.

Therefore, the training intensity of the regular selection players of Xiangbei High School has plummeted, and more often, they do some low-intensity running exercises and ball exercises. The basketball hall is vacated for the players of the second and third teams to train.

Zhengxuan reduced the intensity of training in order to maintain the state, but the players of the second and third teams did not have this kind of treatment, and the relationship between the game and these players was not very big.

What they have to do is to improve themselves on the training ground and become regular players as soon as possible.

Jinguji Martial Arts, who ended training early, has not practiced for himself in the past few days, and after the training is over, he often sits on the sidelines and watches the other players practice, and he doesn't speak, just quietly watching.

Unlike the relatively lax state of martial arts, Rukawa Kaede trained more hard after the competition, even though he knew that he would have to compete with Lingnan High School in the future, Rukawa Kaede still did not relax, and practiced until late every day.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi, who regards Rukawa Kaede as his biggest opponent, has also been involved, and after daily training, he will also practice.

However, the direction of the two people's training is different, Rukawa Kaede is more often training to break through memory, and there is an imaginary enemy in his mind, and when he attacks with the ball, he will do some evasive actions according to the opponent's actions in his mind.

Compared with Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi is much purer, shooting, shooting at various points. Sakuragi tried to carve the art of shooting into his muscles, which was important for someone like him who had been playing for a relatively short time.

Martial arts to watch the players practice, in fact, the main thing is to watch Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The bottle itself is empty, and for more than a year, although the bottle is filled with some water, there is still a lot of space.

With daily training, the growth of Sakuragi Hanamichi is visible to the naked eye. Martial Arts saw all of this in his eyes, and he could faintly feel the mood of Coach Anzai when he looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Compared to Sakuragi Hanamichi, the "bottle" of Rukawa Kaede is almost full, and after daily training, Rukawa Kaede's improvement is actually very small.

Although basketball is a sport that needs to be accumulated, Martial Arts can't help but mention it when he looks at Rukawa Kaede's training.

One day.

After the training of Xiangbei High School, Rukawa Kaede began to prepare for his own training as usual, but just as he was about to start, Jinguji Martial Arts, who often sat on the sidelines and watched the game, walked into the court and came to Rukawa Kaede.

“？” Rukawa Kaede saw Martial Arts walking into the court, raised his head suspiciously, and looked at Martial Arts in confusion.

"Rukawa Kaede, your training like this can give you very little help."

"This kind of training needs to be changed."

When Rukawa Kaede heard this, the doubts on his face disappeared instantly, and he turned to a serious face, and he didn't refute it, quietly waiting for the next step of the martial arts. On the other side, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was also preparing to practice shooting, also heard this, and in a few steps, he walked to the side of Martial Arts, looked at Rukawa Kaede, and then looked at Jinguji Martial Arts.

"Rukawa Kaede, what do you think is needed for a good player?"

Wu Dao sold out at this moment, and did not directly say his adjustment plan.

"I know! I know! ”

Without waiting for Rukawa Kaede to speak, Sakuragi immediately jumped to his feet and interjected. Hearing this, Wu Dao also turned his head to look at Sakuragi and gave him an encouraging look.

"Talent! Absolutely talented! ”

"Only a genius like me can be a good player!"

Sakuragi's answer made Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but scold in a low voice "Big stupid", expecting Sakuragi's answer, it was indeed him Rukawa Kaede who was wrong.

But unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Dao nodded and affirmed:

"That's right, talent!"

"Absolute talent is what it takes to be a good player."

"So, what can be called a gift?"

"Soft touch, great shooting? Still is... Skilled breakthrough skills? Or, height? ”

"Which of these I am talking about is a talent and which is not a talent? Is it possible to be a good player based on that? ”

"I'm afraid, it's not enough!"

"Rukawa Kaede, there's nothing special about basketball, it's just a sport."

"But all sports are composed of two aspects, generally speaking, 'technique' and 'physique'."

"Skills, that is, skills, shooting, breakthroughs, feints, court vision, conduction, etc., etc., are all skills."

"So what is the body?"

"Body! Height, weight, arm span, strength, explosiveness, agility, etc., belong to the body. ”

"Rukawa Kaede, your technical aspects seem to me to be very comprehensive. It is necessary to continue to cultivate the technique, but at this age, you need to start focusing on the cultivation of the 'body'. ”

"A strong body is essential."

As Wu Dao spoke, he patted Rukawa Kaede's arm, Rukawa Kaede's height is now almost 188cm, but the weight of the previous body measurement was 76kg.

At this time, the martial arts slapped on Rukawa Kaede's arm, and he could clearly feel the thinness of Rukawa Kaede's body.

At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing next to him, weighed 86kg, and if you just look at her figure, Sakuragi can't actually see "fat". There are 20 pounds more meat on his body than Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi's body shape is the same, and his explosive power, speed, and physical fitness may be better than Rukawa Kaede.

Rukawa Kaede couldn't grasp what Martial Dao was going to say at first, but when it came to this, if Rukawa Kaede didn't know what the other party was going to say, then his ball for so many years would be in vain.

A workout of the body!

Looking back now, Rukawa Kaede really didn't have a certain aspect of the body's ability, physical training, when honing skills, didn't physical training just take it with you.

Since Rukawa Kaede played, he does seem to have been practicing his skills most of the time.

Thinking of this, Rukawa Kaede's eyes moved to Sakuragi, among the first-year students, to say that the body is the most outstanding, it is undoubtedly Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro, Sakuragi's body is even better, and unlike Nango, Sakuragi has not played since childhood, but why, Sakuragi Hanamichi has such a body?

This point, Sakuragi himself does not know, but the martial arts does, Sakuragi himself is a talented person, plus "perennial fighting", the physical fitness is naturally not bad, and the "fighting" training is much more comprehensive.

In order to enhance his physique, he also deliberately practiced judo, and many of the special trainings were very helpful for playing.

"What am I going to do?!"

Those things that martial arts said, in fact, there is a systematic professional term in later generations, called "sports performance", people in this era have never been exposed to this kind of thing at all, and it is normal for Rukawa Kaede not to know how to start.

Rukawa Kaede would not be stupid to think that if you run and lift dumbbells, you will be able to become stronger, if you do this, you will be able to become stronger, and Akagi will be invincible.

"After the game with Lingnan, Rukawa Kaede, you can train with me!"

"Sakuragi, you too, with your talent, there is still room for development!"
