Chapter 187 Higher Level Events
A week has passed in the convergence between Lingnan and Xiangbei, and the convergence has come to an end.
During the stay, the training of the two teams was together. It was during this period that the players of Xiangbei High School knew what kind of team could be on the stage of the national competition!
During the nearly week of stay, the training intensity of Lingnan High School reached an unprecedented peak. One reason is that the training of Lingnan High School players has reached a bottleneck in the past few months. Now the physical strength of the first-year students has gradually followed, and Coach Taroka has enhanced the intensity of the training.
The second reason is that Coach Taroka's vanity was caused by the vanity. Although Liangnan won the practice match and made him look good, it was obvious that these alone were not enough. Coach Taroka increased the intensity of his training at this time, and there were some demonstrations in it.
Obviously, Coach Taroka's method has taken effect. Among the players of Shokube High School, except for Shou Mitsui and Ryota Miyagi, who could keep up with the training progress, everyone else could not withstand it. The players of Shokube on the training ground were full of ugly appearances, which made Coach Taroka secretly feel happy for a while.
In the early morning, clouds and mists were still lingering in the mountains, but it was only 6 o'clock in the morning.
"We are going to go back today. Thank you for your willingness to train our Lennan players during this time." In the Akira Mountain Basketball Hall, Tianno put the basketball around his waist and was talking to Mitsui Shou.
The stay ended today, but the time for Lennan High School to go back is set at 9 a.m. The morning was still very wealthy, so Tianye came to the basketball court to play for a while. However, by chance, Mitsui Shou also came to the basketball court early to prepare for training.
"No need to thank me, we're just exchanging." Although Mitsui Sho said that, she was still very grateful to Tian Ye in her heart. Although Tian Ye only called the three Xiangbei for just a week, Mitsui Sho saw the changes in the players. Of course, what Mitsui Shou attaches most was not the changes in the players, but the training methods taught by Tian Ye to the players.
This training method is the main reason why Mitsui Shou thanked Tian Ye. The players of Xiangbei got a lot of benefits from Tian Ye. Similarly, the players of Lingnan High School also got a lot of benefits from Mitsui Shou. In terms of projection ability alone, Mitsui Shou is now a top student in the high school team. Although his training method is not as advanced as Tian Ye, overall, there are still some advantages.
And for shooting, the most important thing is not the training method, but helping players find a shooting method that suits them. Whether it is a forehand jump shot, a crooked machine gun, or a toilet, as long as you can score a goal, it is a good shooting method.
Mitsui Shou's experience gives him the ability to help Lingnan's players fine-tune their shooting techniques. Tian Ye can't do this alone. It's okay to ask him to practice by himself, but if he wants to teach the players, he can only teach some standardized ones. After all, Tian Ye himself has been a member trained through the system over the years.
Standardized training can help players avoid detours, but similarly, no super players are trained through standard training. Tianye has always been based on standards for shooting, but since he watched Mitsui Hoku team training, Tianye realized that blindly pursuing standardized shooting postures seems to be a mistake for super shooters.
"How is it, how are you practicing the three-pointer?" Mitsui Shou took the basketball from Tianno's arms, stood on the three-point line, and shot one. With his words, the basketball fell straight into the net.
"I slightly adjusted the force of the three-pointer and fine-tuned my arm position. Now I can maintain the strength of three-pointers."
"The hit rate has improved slightly, so it will be better to practice for a little longer." Tian Ye walked to the basket, picked up the basketball and went outside the three-point line. He talked to Mitsui Shou and the basketball flew out of his fingertips.
"Swish!" The basketball came into the net.
"How is it?" Tian Ye scored the goal, and the goal position was still the corner where he originally hit the lowest percentage.
"The rhythm feels much better, but it's far from your mid-shooting feeling. Your mid-shooting is smooth and sharper!" Mitsui Shou walked to the basket, picked up the ball and threw it to Tian No.
"It's different. Central shot is my way of eating. The three-pointer is currently the icing on the cake." Tian Ye took the ball and jumped out again.
"But it will be different in the future!" The basketball entered the net under Tianye's gaze. Tianye murmured to himself as the ball falling into Mitsui Shou's hand.
"Actually, with your physical condition, it is already terrifying to be able to throw open three-pointers. Why should we pursue the shooting percentage of strong shots?" Mitsui Shou threw the ball to Tiano again and asked strangely.
To be honest, Mitsui Shou felt that if he had Tian Ye's physical fitness, he would never practice any three-pointers. He would definitely practice breakthroughs desperately, and at the same time, he would enhance his physical fitness. Those who can enter the inside line and play are always floating outside the three-point line!
"The environment is different! As the competition escalates, the fight in the inside will only become more and more fierce, and the physical energy is consumed a lot. Now I am indeed full of energy, but I can't guarantee that there will be physical exhaustion." Tianye shook his head helplessly after hearing Mitsui Shou's words.
For a slinger like Mitsui Shou, who is less powerful and more accurate in shooting, he doesn't know how important it is to maintain his physical strength to an offensive core. He has seen too many players who hit hard in the first half and timid in the second half.
After hearing Tianye's words, Mitsui Sho began to lower his head and think. Indeed, one of the reasons why Mitsui Sho himself used three-pointers as the main way to score was that he couldn't stand the fight in the inside. He was just over 175cm in size, and it was still very difficult to match the forward players who were 190cm and 185cm in every move.
Although Mitsui Shou has grown a lot, his jumping is just average. Compared with teams like Lennan, the benefits of external offense are undoubtedly much higher than those of inside offense.
Tanye and Mitsui Shou were chatting in the stadium and shooting baskets. Although the two were one year apart in grades, they were considered peers after all, and they were old opponents who had fought many times. After nearly a week of togetherness, Tanye and Mitsui Shou were obviously much more familiar than before.
Now the two are the captains of Xiangbei and Lingnan, and there are many things that both parties can talk about, and they don’t feel lonely after practicing for a whole morning. On the contrary, someone chats to relieve boredom, which makes the practice much more efficient.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, all the players of Lennan High School had already gotten up and sorted out their packages and gathered in the gymnasium. Seeing the players entering the venue, Tianno knew it was time to go back to Kamakura. It was quite interesting to train with Mitsui Shou these days, and they were about to part for a while, and Tianno felt a little reluctant to leave~
"Tianye! The team is in full." Coach Tianoka shouted, asking Tianye to complete the team and prepare to go down the mountain.
"Miss, thank you."
"I have the chance to play together~" Tian Ye and Mitsui Shou greeted each other and came to the front of the Lingnan team to start the whole team. Two minutes later, the Lingnan team members bid farewell to the Xiangbei team members and the dormitory manager of Akikura Mountain and went down the mountain together.
Mitsui Shou looked at the back of the field down the mountain and fell into deep thought for a moment:
“A higher level event?”
"Did the national competition actually put such a lot of pressure on you? Or......"
