Chapter 488: Change, New Captain!
Since the competition of the Autumn National Sports, the players of Xiangbei High School have resumed their daily training.
It's just that since Jinguji Martial Arts announced that he would leave for the United States next year, the training atmosphere of Xiangbei High School has been very different from the past.
The training of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi Ryota began to focus on the training of individual abilities under the deliberate arrangement of Martial Arts.
And Kiyota Nobunaga and their first-year high school players, Martial Arts also added some explosive training to them in private.
Basketball is a sport, and when training, you must not only train basketball, but also supplement the training of other things.
Athletic performance-related training is a very novel thing for people in this era.
Before leaving the team, Martial Arts of Jinguji set aside some of his time to train the juniors of Xiangbei High School. He hopes that after his departure, the talented players in the squad will still receive more advanced guidance.
Coach Anthy is still a little old in the way he trains players, and what he is best at is to let the players knock on the basics. Jinguji Martial Arts is not worried about Sakuragi Hanamichi in the future, they will have problems such as bad dribbling and bad luck and no progress in the empty blue.
If they have such problems on the field in the future, it can only be said that there is a problem with Coach Anxi's coaching level, and he has not even laid a solid foundation for them.
What martial arts can bring to Sakuragi is to try their best to raise the upper limit of their talents and thoroughly develop their talents!
Although Coach Anzai couldn't comprehend some of the arrangements made by Wudao for a while, his cleverness lies in the fact that he doesn't understand, he won't mess with his beak, and he won't think that the training method of martial arts is "useless".
Although Coach Anzay is old, he has never been an old-fashioned person, and he will absorb new things and learn new things.
Coach Anzai knew that Jinguji Martial Arts had studied in the United States, and for the training methods arranged by Jinguji Martial Arts, Coach Anzai just silently recorded them with a camera, and asked Ayako and Haruko to record the growth and changes of the players every once in a while.
Jinguji Martial Arts focused more on the guidance of the players during the period after the Autumn Season.
The players can also feel the change in Jinguji Martial Arts, in the past, Jinguji Martial Arts in the team was only focused on their own training, and other players wanted to ask Martial Arts for something, often after the regular training was over.
In the evening, when practicing in the stadium, Jinguji Martial Arts will take the time to talk to the players more.
Maybe in the eyes of many people, the former Jinguji Martial Arts did not have the appearance of a captain at all, but in the minds of the players, Jinguji Martial Arts is an indispensable player in their Xiangbei High School.
As long as they are on the court, the players will be able to trust Jinguji Martial Arts unconditionally.
The absolute prestige of Jinguji martial arts on the court has also been derived from the court, and the players in Xiangbei have always respected Jinguji martial arts very much.
Feeling the transformation of Jinguji Martial Arts, the players also know that this is because Jinguji Martial Arts is about to leave, so they are also training harder.
They don't want the martial arts of Jinguji Temple to be leaving, and they are worried about this, worrying about that.
Several first-year players can't wait to prove to Jinguji Martial Arts that they are capable of supporting Xiangbei High School.
Before you know it, it's December.
Since the end of the Autumn National Sports Competition in October, in just over two months, the Xiangbei High School basketball team has ushered in another large-scale event.
Winter Tryouts, also known as Winter Wup.
It is a tournament co-organized by the Neon Basketball Association, the second largest media outlet in the country, the Asahi Shimbun, and the Neon National High School Athletic Federation.
Its influence is far beyond the autumn national body, only under the IH of summer.
This Winter Tournament will also be the last tournament that Jinguji Martial Arts will participate in Neon.
At the beginning of December, Kanagawa Prefecture has already entered winter.
Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and layers of red clouds were stacked on the horizon, intertwining with the night.
Under the twilight, the stadium of Xiangbei High School is brightly lit.
There is less than a week left before the official start of the winter competition, and the Xiangbei High School basketball team is making final adjustments and seriously preparing for the winter trials after that.
Compared to IH, the competition in the winter selection tournament is more fierce in the prefectural competition stage, because Kanagawa Prefecture has two places in the national tournament at the time of IH, while there is only one place in the entire Kanagawa Prefecture in the winter tournament!
"Squeak-squeak-"
The sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the floor came from afar, and students passing by were also surprised, often just looking in the direction of the basketball hall for a while, and then leaving the Xiangbei campus in the twilight.
In the basketball hall, Xiangbei High School is playing a practice game.
The two sides of the competition are the first-year main selection led by Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. And their opponents are the second-year team led by Jinguji Takedo and Miyagi Ryota.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Nango Koichiro, Katsumi Ichiro, and Kiyota Nobunaga often played practice matches together during this time. And the people they faced, in addition to Martial Arts and Miyagi, there were also Kanoda Satoru, Yasuda Yasuharu and Shiozaki.
Xiangbei High School is now facing a huge turmoil in the change of players, the third-year players have retired for more than half a year, and the second-year players only have two people, Jinguji Martial Arts and Miyagi Ryota.
However, Jinguji Martial Arts is also about to travel to the United States, and the first-year players are quite good, but these are all proud guys, and after Jinguji Martial Arts retreated, I don't know who can lead these teenagers.
At the moment, Ryota Miyagi is the best candidate for captaincy, but
The grade is high enough, but the prestige is a little worse.
This game, in fact, was a game that Coach Anzai deliberately arranged to enhance the prestige of Miyagi Ryota before the game.
In the middle of the court, the player who advanced with the ball was Jinguji Takemichi, and after he entered the front court, Rukawa Kaede quickly raised his position and ran towards Martial Arts.
Turning slightly sideways, Jinguji Takedo raised the ball above his head, shot it directly from Rukawa Kaede's head, and gave the ball to Miyagi Ryota, who was cutting quickly at this time.
Ryota Miyagi, who took the ball, stepped directly on the free throw line, opened the Sakuragi Hanamichi after worshipping the Buddha, and then threw a shot directly after a breakthrough.
The outstanding breakthrough passing technique attracted the applause of the players watching the ball around them, and in the cheers of the people around them, the basketball also fell into the net, making a crisp sound.
"Well done, good field."
Jinguji Martial Arts and Miyagi Ryota who returned to defense high-fived each other and praised each other with a smile.
Turning his head and glancing at the scoreboard on the sidelines, the score of the two teams came to 21:16, with Miyagi Ryota's goal, the Xiangbei players on the side turned the page and turned the scoreboard of their team to 23, leading the score to 7 points.
Among the 23 points scored by the team, Miyagi Ryota scored 11 points, while Jinguji Martial Arts only scored 5 points after playing two balls shallowly.
The rest of the points were won by Yasuda and Tsunoda.
In this game, Martial Arts played the role of a tandem and helped Miyagi Ryota and others score points, and so far, the results have been quite good!
"Damn!"
"Liangtian, this bastard, actually dares to play this genius!"
"Hey! Wild monkey, you idiot can not guard against your people! Do you know if you miss someone? Leaked people!! ”
In this game, Sakuragi Hanamichi made up for Nobunaga Kiyota many times and faced Miyagi Ryota head-on. However, in several supplementary defenses, Sakuragi did not achieve good defensive results.
This time, it was the third time that Miyagi Ryota scored in front of him.
Annoyed and angry, Sakuragi Hanamichi yelled at Kiyota Nobunaga, who was about to go to the baseline to catch the ball, as he ran towards the front court.
"What?!"
"Red-haired monkey, aren't you still behind me?"
"I have to beware of the seniors of Jinguji Temple, the stinky fox alone can't stop him at all."
"Do you know why Jinguji seniors have only scored five points so far? It's because Uncle Ben is always on guard against him! ”
"Can you do your job well and prevent the breakthrough of Miyagi's predecessors!"
"Grow your brains! Don't jump on you! ”
Kiyota Nobunaga will not be angry with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and while getting Nango's serve, he will also talk back. When Sakuragi heard this, he glared angrily at Kiyota Nobunaga, but Kiyota Nobunaga was undaunted and glared back.
Jinguji Takemichi, who returned to his half-time position, looked at Kiyota Nobunaga and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had begun to fight, and was speechless, and shouted softly to Miyagi Ryota:
"Miyagi, you go stop those two idiots!"
Hearing Martial Arts' words, Miyagi Ryota smiled, clapped his hands to attract the attention of Sakuragi and the others, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Oops!!"
"How can you be so weak!"
"Doesn't it seem that the training of the Autumn Country Body has no effect?"
"Wu Dao, look at me, I ran directly without the ball and threw off a fool, and after taking the ball, I got rid of another fool with a casual feint."
"You say, how can I be so strong!"
Miyagi Ryota shouted with a smile, and Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga in the distance both heard Miyagi Ryota's words, and turned their heads together to look at Miyagi Ryota.
Wu Dao was a little stunned, he didn't expect Miyagi Ryota to persuade Sakuragi and Kiyota who were about to fight in such a way, but soon, Wu Dao also reacted and said cooperatively:
"It means that you have a talent for playing!"
"Unlike those who boast about it, you are really talented, and you are willing to work hard."
Martial arts said this, not only to cooperate with Miyagi Ryota, but he also praised Miyagi Ryota from the bottom of his heart.
Today's Miyagi has made great strides compared to when he first joined the team, and in the past, Martial Arts paid more attention to Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, and more or less ignored Miyagi's growth.
But in today's game, seeing that Miyagi Ryota was able to play well under the defense of Kiyota Nobunaga and the filling position of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Martial Arts couldn't help but express such feelings.
Sakuragi and Kiyota, who were in the distance, heard the conversation between Takedo and Miyagi Ryota, closed their mouths at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they snorted softly and ran towards the front.
These two guys are the kind of arrogant personalities who will never allow anyone to climb on their heads!
Even if it's Ryota Miyagi, it's definitely not possible!
Soon, Kiyota Nobunaga entered the front court with the ball, and quickly dribbled under his crotch, Kiyota Nobunaga suddenly studied, and Secretary Tong, who was hovering the ball, had already staggered his steps.
“!”
Ryota Miyagi straightened up when Kiyota Nobunaga was doing a levitation dribble, and slapped the basketball with one hand in a sprint. And his steal was also expected by Kiyota, his left foot quickly followed, only to see Kiyota Nobunaga on the side of his body, and the ball protector hit Miyagi's arm directly, and then accelerated to break through.
"Hahaha!"
"I'm stronger! I'm a genius! ”
One step past Miyagi Ryota, Kiyota Nobunaga got carried away and broke through to the inside line, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kiyota Nobunaga and pointed at the basketball with one hand.
Kiyota Nobunaga, who was about to shoot the ball, only felt that his hand was empty, and the basketball had already rolled to the ground, and at the same time, Miyagi Ryota's figure also quickly passed through Kiyota Nobunaga's side and grabbed the ball in his hand first.
"It's not even close!"
"First grade!"
"I don't plan to give up the throne of the chief point guard of Xiangbei High School!"
"If you're not convinced, just try to grab the ball!"
Miyagi Ryota said, quickly dropping the ball, and a body change of direction neatly crossed Kiyota Nobunaga, and then ran quickly towards the front.
"Ahh Why not pass the ball! Sakuragi Hanamichi complained about Kiyota as he quickly rushed towards Miyagi Ryota, and at the same time, Katsumi and Rukawa Kaede had already crossed the middle line, and the speed of the return defense was quite fast.
Miyagi Ryota, who entered the front court, saw that there was no chance, and quickly gave the ball to the hands of the martial arts who were already approaching the top of the arc, and as soon as the basketball came out, Miyagi Ryota went to the inside line.
Rukawa Kaede and Katsumi's attention was attracted by Martial Arts at the moment, but it was too late when they realized that they were leaking, and Martial Arts easily passed the ball with the help of his excellent height.
Ryota Miyagi, who entered the basket, received the basketball, made a light layup, and sent the ball into the basket.
In this practice match, this goal by Ryota Miyagi is the best epitome.
The first-year students have long been accustomed to beware of Jinguji martial arts, whether intentionally or unintentionally, these people are often distracted by the position and movement of martial arts, so they will always let Miyagi Ryota Sora cut into the inside line to complete the score.
Although there were five people on the second-grade team, with only two people, the first-grade defense line had already been torn apart.
Although the martial arts they can't stop the first-year offense, the martial arts know how to guard the rebounds, and on the premise of protecting the backcourt rebounds, the martial arts team has always retained a certain advantage.
And as the game progressed, the first graders also realized the difficulty of Miyagi Ryota, Sakuragi Hanamichi is obviously one of the best big forwards in the country, but there is always a feeling that he can't use his strength when facing Miyagi.
He always thinks about stealing, to stop Miyagi from entering the inside line, which also leads to his tendency to lower his center of gravity when filling the position, so that he can be more capable of Miyagi Ryota's speed.
But this kind of defense is precisely to abandon his own bounce advantage and height advantage.
Sakuragi Hanamichi is not good at dealing with players of Miyagi Ryota's size.
At the end of the game, the martial arts team won the game with a narrow advantage of 87:86.
In this game, Miyagi Ryota scored 44 points alone and helped the team win the game. Although Jinguji Martial Arts still scored 28 points in casual play, in this game, Miyagi Ryota was the most dazzling one.
Taking advantage of the victory of the game, Coach Anthy announced an event after gathering the players.
"Classmates."
"You all know that Jinguji Martial Arts will go to the United States next year to pursue a higher level of basketball."
"After he left as captain, the team needs a new leader!"
"This matter, sooner rather than later, I think that the vice captain Miyagi Ryota will be appointed as the new captain!"
"In the future, Miyagi-san will replace Jinguji-san and continue to lead Xiangbei High School to compete for the national championship!"
When Coach Anxi announced this, the players in Xiangbei were stunned. And Jinguji Martial Arts smiled and applauded after Coach Anzai's voice fell, celebrating for Miyagi.
From today onwards, Xiangbei High School will enter a new era!
