Chapter 17 The practice match in Xiangbei
April!
The cherry blossoms in front of the Hunan University are blooming brilliantly.
In this year, Mitsui Shou ended his career as a junior high school student. He went to Xiangbei High School despite his family's opposition! It was also this year that Akagi Takaki came to Xiangbei High School with the dream of dominating the country.
In the Xiangbei High School Gymnasium, seniors in the second and third grades are observing the new members of the club this year. Akagi Takaki's outstanding height attracted everyone's attention. But the most eye-catching thing is Mitsui Shou. When Mitsui was in junior high school, he was a famous player in Kanagawa Prefecture, the trump card of the prefecture's runner-up team, and the best plastic surgery SG in junior high school.
Mitsui Shou actually came to Xiangbei University, which made everyone present unexpected that with Mitsui Shou's strength, all the powerful people in the county can go. Mitsui Shou's arrival undoubtedly improved the combat effectiveness of the Xiangbei basketball team by more than one level, and the joining of Akagi Takaki, who is 193cm tall, also guaranteed Shoku's inside combat effectiveness! Although the seniors have never seen Akagi play, Akagi's height and his childhood experience in playing basketball written on his resume can easily make people look forward to him.
"Akagi! Do you know how to dunk! Dunk!"
The seniors of Xiangbei surrounded Akagi and asked excitedly that there was no player of this height in their own team, and no one could do such a slam dunk in Xiangbei High School in recent years.
"Yes!"
I don’t know if I should say Akagi is dull or Akagi is calm. I should ask the students’ questions. I picked up the basketball and performed a double-handed dunk, which caused a burst of exclamations in the field. The dunk posture also attracted Mitsui Shou’s attention!
After Akagi showed off his operations, Xiangbei’s seniors finally began to be serious and gathered the newly joined team members this year!
"You all introduce yourself!"
Seniors want to know the basic information of the players, which is also conducive to the team's daily management and the cultivation of talented key players. Of course, the most important thing is to quickly get to know new players.
"Takaheng Akagi, a first-grade class, graduated from Kitamura Middle School, is 193cm tall, weighs 88kg, and is the center."
Akagi's introduction made the seniors exclaim.
"193 cm? There are finally people in our team with more than 190 cm!"
"Is it really a first grade?"
Such outstanding physique among Japanese high school students also made Mitsui Shou look at him sideways.
"My name is Mu Mu Gongyan..."
As Mu Mu's self-introduction was completed, Coach Anxi walked into the gymnasium with a step! The coach's figure attracted the attention of the players!
"Coach! Early!"
The greetings full of energy reflect the players' vigorous vitality!
"Good morning! You all have started!"
Since Coach Anxi walked into this gymnasium, Mitsui Shou's eyes have never left Coach Anxi. The reason why Mitsui Shou came to Xiangbei was Coach Anxi. It was Coach Anxi's encouragement in the game that Mitsui Shou could truly appreciate the spirit of competitive basketball. Although he lost the game in the end, Mitsui achieved great growth, and what he grew up was not strength but mentality.
"Next self-introduction!"
Mitsui Shou, who was focusing on coach Anxi, did not hear the senior's first scream, and he did not react until his teammates reminded him!
"Mitsui! It's Mitsui Shou! He was selected into the best team in the middle of the country and is the runner-up ace! Maybe he's better than you guys!"
Mitsui Shou's popularity is also widely circulated in Kanagawa High School basketball circle!
"First Grade 10, Mitsui Shou, graduated from Wushi Middle School! 176cm, 63kg, you can do it in any position!"
“My goal is to dominate the country!”
Mitsui Su's confident self-introduction made the seniors applaud. No one questioned Mitsui Su's goal was too ambitious. Mitsui Su's strength was recognized by everyone. Only one point could be left with Yokota Middle School, the quarterfinals of the middle school and the national quarterfinals, which was enough to show how powerful Mitsui Su's ace is!
As the players completed their self-introductions one by one, the coach arranged for new players to play a freshman in-team practice game! Mitsui Shou tasted the taste of failure when he was in Guozhong! Mitsui Shou is still confident and proud now, but he did not say the saying "You guys together can't beat me." Mitsui Shou has understood since the Guozhong Prefecture Competition that the team cannot enter the country by relying on himself!
The strength shown by Shimiamitano in the national competition also made Mitsui Shou understand that when competing with them Wushi Middle School, Shimiamitano still had enough energy to not show all his strength.
As the referee whistle sounded, the practice match between Xiangbei freshmen's team began.
Not long after the game was held, the strength Mitsui Shou showed really shocked the seniors in the second and third grades. Whether it was breakthrough or shooting, Mitsui Shou could do it at will! In contrast to Mitsui's performance, the poor dribbling skills performed by Takaki Akagi, who was highly anticipated, really disappointed the seniors who had expectations for him!
"Come on! Akagi!"
Some seniors couldn't bear to see Akagi's team being slaughtered by blood, so they couldn't help but cheer for Akagi!
I don’t know if it was the seniors’ cheering, or if Takaki Akagi himself was a slow-heating player! After Akagi’s slam dunk with both hands, the atmosphere of the Akagi team suddenly improved! The deterrent force of Akagi standing under the basket began to gradually affect all the players in Mitsui Shou!
Forced by Akagi's deterrence, Mitsui Shou also frequently made a shot! Akagi's defense! Very beautiful!
Mitsui Su had encountered this situation. It was difficult to catch the ball by two players Yokota during the prefecture competition. Although Akagi was very deterrent, the double-team intensity was still a bit worse than the two! Mitsui Sui would not be convinced before, and would choose to do it alone and eat Akagi.
But now Mitsui, who has been baptized by failure, can recognize where his advantage is! Facing Akagi's defense, Mitsui Shou passed the ball to his teammates. Then he used his teammate's position to run, threw away Akagi's defense, received a pass from his teammate in a large open position, and made a steady shot to help the team score two more points.
In the following time, Mitsui Shou made full use of his shooting advantages and actively ran open spaces to find fighter planes. In the end, Mitsui Shou's team won the big score!
"Hohohohohohoho!"
Coach Anxi saw Mitsui Shou's growth. Mitsui Shou during his junior high school period was a trump card who could only play ball and attack! He could be enjoyed to a certain extent in the junior high school environment.
Today, Mitsui Shou has grown into a comprehensive percentage point that can play both ball-holding and off-ball offense! Undoubtedly, Mitsui Shou's strength has been greatly improved.
Coach Anxi has confirmed! Akagi, who is inside and Mitsui, who is outside, will be the two pillars of Xiangbei in the future! From now on, Xiangbei will have the strength to compete for tickets to enter the national competition!
Chapter completed!
