In the match between Xiangbei and Buri, Xiangbei High School led the second half with a score difference of 20 points in the first half. At this moment, Coach Tarooka stood up and led the players of Lingnan High School out of the venue.

Coach Taroka knew in his heart that there was no need to watch the next game. With Coach Anxi's sophistication, there would be no more capsizing in the gutter. Xiangbei High School will advance to the semi-finals and compete with Lingnan, Hainan and Xiangyang for the qualification for the national competition. Although the result of Xiangyang and Hainan's 8-to-4 matches has not been known, Coach Taroka has looked at the group table and there is no team in the two groups there that can pose a threat to these two old overlords.

Sakuragi Hanado and others were leaving with Ryonan's team. The basketball team's bus can accommodate nearly 40 people, and there are not so many people in the entire basketball team. It is natural to bring reserve Sakuragi Hanado and his friends.

"Let's go, you all go back and have a good rest today. After that, we will enter the round-robin competition and get up. Every game will be difficult!"

"Disband after you go back!"

Coach Tarooka led the players onto the school bus and set off for Kamakura.

Tian Ye fell asleep on the bus after he got motion sickness. Then he went to school to break up with his classmates, and made an appointment with Sakuragi to go back home alone after training tomorrow morning.

There is a few days of buffering period between the knockout and the round-robin match. During this period, Tian Ye didn't want to let go of Sakuragi Hanao's training. Mitsui Shou, who was so accurate, put a lot of pressure on Tian Ye. He wanted to cultivate Sakuragi Hanao immediately and let him focus on Mitsui Shou next year. This year, I can only feel wronged Sendo first.

According to Tian Ye's estimate, with Mitsui Shou's current strength, if Sendo specializes in guarding, he may have no effect on the offensive end. Defending Mitsui Shou will consume his huge energy.

Tianye did not waste the afternoon when he returned home. He was conducting regular training in his backyard. However, in order to maintain a competitive state, Tianye's training was not too ruthless, just to keep his body nervous.

……………………

"Sakuragi, have you ever seen Kamakura at four in the morning?" On the park court near Lennan, Tano asked with a sweat towel around her neck, holding the ball and looking at Sakuragi Hanao standing in front of her.

"Oh~ Is Kamakura at 4 a.m.? I've seen it! At that time, Yohei and I beat them all night to play marbles, and it was exactly four o'clock when we lost it." Sakuragi's answer at this moment was so deaf that Tianye's dog ears were deaf.

“…………”

"Huadao, don't waste your time in the morning. I will teach you new skills. My brother's secret of not passing on it will only be given to you."

"Do you want to learn?"

Tiano cleverly crossed the original topic. He originally wanted to inspire Sakuragi to practice well, but Sakuragi did not play according to common sense, which made him choke back afterwards.

"Brother, is it your skill of swinging a ball in the air? It's so cool! I want to learn it!" Hanamichi Sakuragi shouted excitedly. He still remembers the big windmill that Tiano started the game that day. It's so explosive. Sakuragi tried it himself in private. It's enough to bounce, but he always doesn't have the sense of power that Tiano has, and these are all told by Ye Zi.

In order to please Ye Zi, he really wanted to learn Tian Ye's slam dunk technique.

"……………” Tian Ye was speechless. He knew that Sakuragi Hanamichi had a special liking for slam dunks. His purpose of playing basketball was not simple, but fortunately, although Sakuragi Hanamichi was not simple, he was simple.

"Since you want to learn Hanadao, I can't teach it, but before that, you have to master a small skill first." Tiano slapped the ball and said to Sakuragi.

"Oh! No problem, brother." Hanamichi Sakuragi didn't care what he wanted to master first, but he just responded first.

"Okay, then before, you can answer my question first, Huadao."

"If you want to defend me, where will you stand?" Tian Ye said, walking to the top of the three-point line and saying to Hanadao.

"perhaps…………"

"It should be here." Hanamichi Sakuragi said, standing at a distance of half of the body in front of Tianno's right, and said to Tianno.

"Very good, Huadao, this means you have understood what it means to block the strong and let the weak. Moreover, when I play singles with you, I focus on breakthroughs, and this defensive space is also very conducive to you keeping up with the breakthrough."

"It's done well, Hanada." Tianno praised Hanada. When it comes to defending himself, Hanada's choice was very correct.

"However, what would you do if you were fighting against the Shokube shooter yesterday?" Tian Ye asked.

Hanami Sakuragi knows who Tianno is talking about. Yesterday, Mitsui Shou from Shokutan was a very impressive player. The accurate three-pointer gave Hanami Sakuragi a great impact.

"Well..." Hanamichi Sakuragi hugged her hands and was silent and thought quietly. After a long time, he replied:

"It should be here." As he said that, Sakuragi Hanamichi stood in front of Tianye and posted Tianye's face.

"Oh? Why?" Tian Ye was surprised. He didn't expect that Hanadao could adjust his position like this.

"Because that Shokuki guy's three-pointer is very accurate, I stick to him, won't he be able to shoot the basket?" Hanan Sakuragi naturally talked about his own opinion on defending Mitsui Shou.

"It's very good, flower path, you can think of this floor as it's already very good."

"But you actually have a misunderstanding. Mitsui Shou from Xiangbei is not only three-pointers. You are so close to him. If he breaks through, you will find it difficult to catch up with you."

"What I teach you today is actually very simple, that is, reading defense." Tian Ye squinted his eyes and smiled, digging a big hole for the Hanadao.

"Reading defense? It seems to be very powerful."

"Brother! I want to learn!" Huadao hit her hands and decided to learn.

Tian Ye laughed in his heart. Reading defense is not an offensive skill, it is a solid defensive skill, and it is actually not accurate to say that it is a skill. This can actually be said to be experience, but for the Hanyao, there are some things that you don’t need to understand and discover by yourself, but just use them directly. If no one teaches defense and practices to understand by yourself, it is very limited.

This is actually equivalent to making dishes easier with other people's recipes, but it is difficult to let you study a dish yourself. Tian Ye intends to use cramming education and personal combat to enrich the defensive experience of Hana. Before, Tian Ye was shopping for the standard of letting Hana exercise defensive movements, and now it is time to improve.

"First of all, Hanada, reading defense is a defensive skill. His purpose is to judge the opponent's offensive trend and prepare for defensive steps in advance. This is very difficult. I have been practicing for more than ten years." Tianye and Hanada talked, and then threw the ball to Hanada, intending to demonstrate.

"Huadao, every player has his own offensive habits. No matter who he is, the offensive methods he can master must be limited. Even if he can master them correctly, he must be inclined when using them."

"Just like me, I'm used to being able to break through smoothly. You and I play so many times, so your position can limit me to a certain extent."

"But because you have too little defensive experience, you can't tell what I will do after the breakthrough, so you can't defend me every time."

"Imagine if you knew I was going to shoot in advance, would you still eat my shaking?"

Tano's words made Sakuragi Hanamidao fall into thinking again. Hanamidao's mind is not good at other things, but in basketball, he can understand it at a glance.

"I see!"

"But how do you judge? Big brother." Sakuragi scratched her head and asked.

"Footsteps! Any attack cannot be separated from the cooperation of footsteps. As long as you can understand footsteps, you cannot defend without a player."

The next morning, neither Tianye nor Hanadao went to Lennan High School for training. Tianye had actually told Coach Tarooka that he would come to practice Hanada alone today. Coach Tarooka was very relieved and agreed readily.

On the open-air court in this park, Tian Ye talked in detail about the meaning of various steps and how the Hana should stand when dealing with it. It also taught the Hana to control the defensive space, which not only allowed the opponent to feel the oppression of the defense, but also did not allow the opponent to easily break through or shoot.

Tian Ye’s teaching often carries practical practice. In battles, Tian Ye uses the most step back shooting after breakthrough, but Tian Ye will also add other attack changes to this, mixed with fake moves and body distortions. He is trying to adapt the key points of step back shooting. During the whole day, except for eating, drinking, and using the toilet, Sakuragi and Tian Ye have never left the court.

Sometimes Tian Ye is secretly glad that he met Hanamichi Sakuragi. Who would have trained with you for a day! And those who are tired and hard to learn defensive techniques.

However, in the evening, in order to reward Hanada for one day of training, Tianno taught Hanada how to change hands and make layups. This was not a problem for Hanada, who had a strong ability to stagnate the air, but because his left hand was not good, he still couldn't fully master the change hands and layups.

But even so, Hanada is still very happy, because this change of layups is specially used, and it is an offensive skill. The key is that it is very handsome! It is in line with his temperament of Hanada. In terms of temperament, Sakuragi has always grasped it tightly.
