Chapter 477: Assemble, Form an Army!
Under the leadership of Shinomiya Field, the No. 1 team where Jinguji Martial Arts was located finally defeated the Lingnan mixed team to which Rukawa Kaede belonged after some hard work.
After the victory, Sakuragi Hanamichi came to the hotel gym to report the good news to Takemichi.
When it was said that their team's trophy was "Rukawa Kaede", Sakuragi Hanamichi's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't suppress his joy at all, and after saying that, he began to laugh hehehehe.
Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's happy appearance, Takeshi also shook his head with a smile and asked, "Why, do you need to be so happy to win Rukawa Kaede's team?"
"The strength of our team itself is a little stronger than theirs, so it should be a normal thing to win the opponent, right?"
"Is this necessary for you kid?"
Martial Arts asked with a smile, he knew that the relationship between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede belonged to the kind of friend and foe, and it was normal for Sakuragi to be happy to be able to defeat Rukawa Kaede's team, but Martial Arts didn't expect that Sakuragi would be happy like this.
"I was thinking about something about the game."
"You didn't watch the game, Rukawa Kaede's game, but you were deflated."
"In one game, he was covered by five goals by Shinomiya Field."
"5 balls! I've been playing in the Autumn Country Training Camp for so long, and I haven't been blocked so many balls in total. ”
"Stinky fox, he was completely blown up at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and in the whole game, that guy only scored 8 points."
"It's not easy to see a stinky fox eating deflated, this time, hahahaha!"
Sakuragi threw his head back and laughed at the end.
Hearing this, Martial Arts knew why this kid Sakuragi Hanamichi was so happy, it turned out that he not only helped the team win, but also saw Rukawa Kaede suffer a big loss, no wonder this kid is like this now.
However, Wu Dao was still a little surprised, and before hearing the news, he didn't expect Rukawa Kaede to actually get only this point in this game.
8 points in a single game, maybe for other ordinary players, is already a decent result, but for Rukawa Kaede, it is definitely not enough.
In previous games, Rukawa Kaede was able to score doubles even if he encountered a strong opponent, and he was generally able to maintain a scoring level of about 15 points. If the opponent is a little weaker, or if the Jinguji Martial Arts has less time to eat the ball during the game, then Rukawa Kaede's score will basically exceed 20 points.
There have been 30 points or even 40 points when the performance is good.
Even in the team's practice match, when facing Jinguji Martial Arts, Martial Arts often can't go all out to seal every ball of Rukawa Kaede, and his score is basically a double.
But I didn't expect that Shinomiya Tianye actually suppressed Rukawa Kaede's score to single digits, this level, I'm afraid. It's not something that can be done by one person.
If it was Rukawa Kaede who had just entered high school in the first grade, Martial Arts believed that Shinomiya Dano would be able to suppress Rukawa Kaede's score by relying on his personal ability.
But after a whole summer and half an autumn, Rukawa Kaede's personal ability is no longer the same as before.
If there is no teammate to help him, even if Martial Arts plays at full strength, I am afraid that he may not be able to suppress Rukawa Kaede's score within 10 points.
What Martial Arts consciously can't do, he also doesn't think Sinomiya Field can do it.
Yes, Shinomiya Field is very strong, but the defense on the basketball court is not something that can be done by one person. Rukawa Kaede is not stupid, he can't break through the Shinomiya Field by himself, won't he let his teammates help block and dismantle?
One person's blocking and dismantling Sinomiya Field can be bypassed, but what about a group of people's blocking and dismantling?
"How did you do that?"
"Although that kid Rukawa Kaede is a little arrogant and doesn't talk much, his strength is still good."
"Sinomiya Field alone, it shouldn't be able to suppress him to that extent."
Takeshi stopped exercising, stood up from the gym equipment, grabbed the sweat towel and wiped the sweat while asking Sakuragi.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Of course, one person is not enough, and there is the help of this genius!"
"It's because of today's timely defense, Sigong Tianye has a chance to block the stinky fox!"
With that, Sakuragi told Takemichi about their team's defensive style. It turned out that when playing against the Lingnan mixed team, the No. 1 team of the martial arts team used joint defense.
When Shinomiya Tianye defended Rukawa Kaede on the outside, he adopted a strategy of letting go of the rush and not letting go. With the help of his teammates' blocking and dismantling, Rukawa Kaede is indeed able to break through the first line of defense of Shinomiya Field, but after breaking through, Rukawa Kaede will encounter Sakuragi Hanamichi's first blocking.
And the Shinomiya field that has been passed will quickly form a bag with Sakuragi one after the other.
If it is against an ordinary opponent, Rukawa Kaede is fully capable of using his own skills to continue to break through the defensive line. But I don't know what's wrong with this kid Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede is difficult to cross quickly when he hits his defense line with the ball.
This also led to the fact that the pursuing Sinomiya Field was able to come up in time, and once the bag was formed, Rukawa Kaede's situation was very passive.
Relying on such a joint defense method, the No. 1 team where the martial arts team was could be said to have completely blocked Rukawa Kaede's attack.
Listening to Sakuragi Hanamichi's words, Wu Dao couldn't help but look at Sakuragi Hanamichi a few times, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Sakuragi Hanamichi, this kid has actually grown to this extent.
There is a very key point in this joint defense strategy, in fact, Sakuragi, he must resist the breakthrough of Rukawa Kaede when the defense comes up, and buy time for the pursuing Shinomiya Field.
At the same time, Sakuragi also needs to beware of Rukawa Kaede's passing when filling the position, because Sakuragi's departure will inevitably cause emptiness under the basket, and Rukawa Kaede knows what to do as long as he is not stupid.
But since their team's joint defense can be successful, it means that Sakuragi not only blocked Rukawa Kaede's attack when he was filling the position, but also threatened Rukawa Kaede's pass, otherwise, such a joint defense is a colander.
Being able to stop Rukawa Kaede shows the defensive level of Sakuragi Hanamichi.
After all, Rukawa Kaede is now also the top scorer in the country, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can restrict.
"How many assists does Rukawa Kaede have?" Takemichi wiped the sweat from his face and body and asked Sakuragi. He still didn't believe that Sakuragi's progress could be so great, and he couldn't help but ask more.
"How many? I don't know, not much. ”
"When he took the ball, he was basically wrapped up by Shinomiya Tianye and me, and he didn't shoot many times and pass the ball very much."
"About six or seven?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed the back of his head and said with some uncertainty.
"Sakuragi, you've grown!"
Hearing this, Martial Arts patted Sakuragi Hanamichi on the shoulder and sighed lightly.
It can be confirmed that it is indeed Sakuragi's personal level that has improved tremendously.
There has been a huge improvement at both offensive and defensive ends, and Sakuragi Hanamichi has also grown into a reliable pillar in Xiangbei!
"He and Rukawa Kaede need to have more opportunities to play."
Wu Dao looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile, thinking secretly in his heart. Seeing that Martial Arts was looking at him silently, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of Martial Arts' eyes, and asked with concern:
"Brother Martial Arts? What are you looking at? Silly? Shocked by the genius's performance? ”
Wu Dao slapped Sakuragi's hand away, this guy just likes stinky poverty.
Not long after Sakuragi returned to the hotel, Rukawa Kaede also appeared in the hotel's gym. After entering the gym, Rukawa Kaede said hello to the martial arts, and after shouting softly "martial arts seniors", he went to the side to exercise.
Rukawa Kaede seems to have suffered a lot of blows, and when he practiced the equipment, he practiced very fiercely. Sakuragi could also see that Rukawa Kaede seemed to be venting the boredom in his heart, and the corners of his mouth hooked, and he actually walked to Rukawa Kaede's side, showing off the results he had just achieved in the previous competition in front of Rukawa Kaede.
In the face of Sakuragi Hanamichi's "playing treasure", Rukawa Kaede just had a cold face and carried out his own exercises, but in Sakuragi's laughter, Rukawa Kaede's kid practiced more and more.
Sakuragi didn't react when he saw Rukawa Kaede, and he didn't feel bored, looking at Rukawa Kaede's stinky face, Sakuragi became more energetic, and his laughter became more and more cheerful.
"This bastard." Sakuragi's laughter fell into Rukawa Kaede's ears, it was too harsh, and with a low curse in his heart, Rukawa Kaede left the gym in a hurry, out of sight.
When Sakuragi saw Rukawa Kaede leaving, he didn't plan to let Rukawa Kaede go at all, so he hurriedly said "goodbye" to Martial Arts, and then quickly followed Rukawa Kaede's footsteps.
Seeing the two leaving, Wu Dao couldn't help but smile and said, "These two boys, the relationship is really good!" ”
With Rukawa Kaede joining Team No. 1, the strength of their team has become stronger and stronger.
In the afternoon, Team No. 1 shot again, and the target of the challenge was the mixed team of Xiangbei High School where Akagi Gangxian and his team were located, and the No. 1 team led was neither Jinguji Martial Arts nor Shinomiya Field.
It's Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, the two first-graders.
Assisting the two of them were Mori Chongkuan, Xiandao Zhang, and Mu Shen.
Rukawa Kaede seems to be venting the pent-up anger in his heart, in the game with the Xiangbei mixed team, he frequently holds the ball and plays alone, and Rukawa Kaede abandoned the option of shooting in the second half, as long as he is given the opportunity to enter the basket, Rukawa Kaede can slam the dunk, and he will never go to the basket.
As for projection? It seems that this skill has been removed from his skill pack, and he didn't make a single shot in the afternoon game.
The ruthless Rukawa Kaede directly broke down Kiyota Nobunaga's defense, although Miyagi Ryota wanted to make up for the defense, but in the face of Rukawa Kaede's impact, Miyagi Ryota's physical fitness was not enough at all.
In the match with Xiangbei, the No. 1 team tore apart the opponent's defense line by relying only on Rukawa Kaede alone.
With the referee's whistle, the No. 1 team won by 30 points, and Rukawa Kaede scored 41 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a single game.
After the game, Team No. 1 captured Ryota Miyagi from the Shobei mixed team.
At this point, the number of players in the No. 1 team has also expanded to nine.
In the position of the inner line, there are Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mori Shigekuan, and the front guard is swinging, and there are Jinguji Martial Arts, Shinomiya Field, Mike Okita, Sendo, and Rukawa Kaede, and the guard is two people, Makishiichi and Miyagi Ryota.
The players of the other teams couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw that Jinguji Martial Arts and their team were rapidly taking shape.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the county selection tournament of the Autumn Country Sports is here, the only team that can officially form a team is the No. 1 team.
The No. 1 team, which has Jinguji Martial Arts and Sinomiya Tianye, is so strong that even the powerful Xiangbei Coalition Army and Lingnan Coalition Army were defeated by them.
It's not so much about fighting each other for qualification, it's about other players showing themselves on the field so that the players of the No. 1 team can look at themselves.
Team 1 already has 9 people, and Autumn Country only takes a 12-person team.
In other words, there are only 3 places left in their hands!
As for these three places, after discussing with Jinguji Martial Arts, Shinomiya Tianye and a group of teammates, they also have target candidates.
In terms of outside players, they have enough martial arts, and for the remaining three places, they decided to recruit only one outside player and two inside players.
In the position of the inner line, the martial arts they decided to recruit Tetsuya Naito and Toru Hanagata, and on the outside, they decided to recruit Kamiichiro.
Why did they abandon the old powerhouses like Akagi Gangxian, Uzumi Jun and Fuji Zhen, the reason is also very simple, martial arts They plan to give young players more opportunities.
Whether it's Akagi or Uzumi or Fujima, several of them have already been taken by the university, and they have already sent out invitations early. And they're all juniors in high school, and they're about to leave the high school campus.
Such an opportunity, although giving them can make them have no so-called regrets, but. Wu Dao felt that it would be better for young people to have some experience in such an opportunity.
This is considered from the human side.
From the point of view of the completeness of the lineup, the characteristics of Akagi and Uozumi are somewhat similar to those of Mori Shigehiro and Naito, while Hanagata is a technical interior line that can enrich the team's offensive style.
Naito's words, Martial Arts They feel that this guy has a lot of potential to be tapped, although he is not familiar with the other party, but it does not prevent him from getting the other party to the team.
As for why the outside line abandoned Fujima and took Kami Ichiro, aside from the human aspect, Kami Ichiro is an excellent shooter with excellent height and well-rounded skills. The reason why Kamei Ichiro in Xiangbei is taken instead of Shenzong Ichiro is also because Kemei's technology is more comprehensive.
Two days later, Team No. 1 challenged again and directly added three players to the team.
Although the players who were not selected were a little lost and unwilling, after seeing the players of the twelve autumn national sports teams in the army, they were only disappointed in their hearts.
They still recognize the ability of these players.
After getting along for such a long time, who still doesn't know who! The players have some understanding of each other's strength.
The selection of the Autumn National Sports was over, and the players who were not admitted took the bus home one after another.
And the team members who have already formed the army are also starting the final team training.
Less than ten days before the official start of the Autumn National Stadium, Coach Anzai finally showed up.
Looking at the players in front of him at this time, he began to arrange tactical training with a smile. The players present are all top-notch in terms of personal ability, and those who have played since childhood in martial arts, such as martial arts, have quite good tactical literacy.
Although the group training time is short, the effect is very good.
It's just that among these players, there are also some inexperienced players, such as Mori Shigehiro and Naito, who have not played for a long time, and the speed of acceptance is a little slower.
But it doesn't matter, the tactics around the outside line have taken shape quickly as the team training progresses. The interior players are a little slower to improve, and Coach Anthy doesn't care.
A week later, the players of the Kanagawa Prefecture team received their jerseys.
This year's Autumn Country System was held in Kanagawa Prefecture.
As the host, the Kanagawa Prefecture team has two more days to train.
However, as the competition of the Autumn National Sports approaches, spectators from all over the country also gather in Kanagawa Prefecture. There are many more tourists on the Shonan Coast than in the past.
