Slam Dunk Construction

Chapter 4 Start

Today is the day for freshmen to enroll, and Coach Anxi, the supervisor of Xiangbei, has to come no matter what.Mrs. Anxi saw that he was still so busy, so she laughed at him, saying that he was so busy that he couldn't be idle at all.

Coach Anxi also smiled and set off. The distance is not very far. The location of Coach Anxi's home is really good. It happens that when Coach Anxi arrives, it is time for freshmen to enroll.

Coach Anxi came in, and the seniors from Xiangbei had just finished counting.The captain of the big ship came over and said, "Teacher, we just finished counting. We have a total of eight rookies this year. Please ask the coach for instructions."

Coach Anxi saw that there were only eight people!I saw that Ishimoto, and there was another player over 180cm.Coach Anxi also asked: "Student Dachuan, how is the quality of this year's freshmen?"

Dafu said: "Teacher, the quality of the freshmen is very good, far better than the previous ones. This year there is a newcomer named Shi Ben, who is 188cm tall when he first arrived. He is very tall and has a good shooting touch. He looks very promising!"

Coach Anxi nodded, and he also thought in his heart, seeing that Xiangbei is really weak, is this enough?After thinking about it, I also know how weak Xiangbei was in the past!

But coach Anxi is also an old fox, he said: "Well, that's good, let the freshmen have a practice match with the old students." The captain of the big ship nodded and took a rest for 10 minutes, and the practice match for the freshmen officially started.

The old students here are No. 5 Murakami, No. 6 Kazuharu, No. 4 Ofuna, No. 8 Kuroki and No. 7 Noma. The rookie’s center forward is Ishimoto, and the power forward is another one who is over 180cm. The small forward is unfamiliar. He is about 175cm tall, and he is not very familiar with shooting guards. The point guard is Echizen, who was called from Yokota Junior High School.

For the jump ball in the middle circle, although Murakami and Ishimoto are about the same height, it is obvious that Ishimoto bounces better, and his physical fitness is also very good. He hit the ball to Echizen, and the freshmen attacked first.

The freshman gave Ishimoto the first ball. Ishimoto was really good. His breakthrough after shaking made Murakami a little slower.That Shiben made a 2-0 shot from the basket. Shiben performed really well, without any stage fright at all, and scored right from the start.

The veteran team is also good. The captain of the ship made a breakthrough layup and hit 2:2.

The game started under this rhythm. Ishimoto is really good. He defeated the inside defense of Murakami, Haruwa and Ueda by himself. He could do anything in the inside.This also makes Coach Anxi very satisfied, he likes this kind of talent plus hard work players.

The other guy, Echizen, is also good, with solid ball control and a good mentality.Another surprise is that the shooting guard Shimoda feels very good, and now his mid-range shots can be used normally in practice games.

In addition, the one over 180cm called Osu also has some strength, and the others can only be studied.It seems that the quality has indeed improved a lot, and the captain of the big ship probably didn't lie.

Of course, even if the quality of freshmen is the best this year, this is not enough. They can't beat the old students. The final result is 56:41. The old students won by [-] points without trying their best. It seems that the freshmen still have to work hard!
I got to know the team roughly, so I don't need to make more arrangements. After all, I just started school, and no one quits for a year.Coach Anxi also gave a lecture, and he said: "Students, I will go to your supervision. There may be many people who know me as a bad old man, but I hope that if you want to join the basketball team, you must train hard and work hard to beat your opponents."

Everyone was also amused. How could the Japanese basketball community not know Coach Anxi?However, Coach Anxi was keenly aware that many people disagreed with what Coach Anxi said, and they all showed disdain.

Coach Anxi thought about it, maybe some people joined the basketball club just to exercise.He also said: "Everyone is welcome to join the Xiangbei Basketball Club. If anyone likes basketball, everyone should work hard. Happy basketball must also have results. If you always lose, no one will be happy. If you want to exercise, try to keep up with everyone." The rhythm of basketball is the best for physical exercise.”

After Coach Anxi finished speaking, he handed it over to the captain of the big ship to lead the team to practice. It was all basic exercises, physical training and so on. In the first week, I don't know if I can be a comrade-in-arms, and I don't know how to run any tactics.

Although coach Anxi told everyone that they can participate in physical exercise, there are still people who join the basketball club just to fish in troubled waters. After a week, there are exactly four people left in the first grade, namely Ishimoto, Osu, Echizen and Shimoda.

Since these few stayed, Coach Anxi naturally arranged training tasks for them.As an insider, Ishimoto does not need to be trained as a traditional center. His position is a power forward. Don't waste his touch. The offensive range must be large.Osu is also an inside player, and his attack method is also based on shooting, so he just added some blocking and rebounding exercises.

As a point guard, Echizen is dribbling, and passing is the main event. He doesn’t need to practice the rest. The last Shimoda is a pitcher, and he is still far away!Shooting is the main practice project.

Coach Anxi also announced the roster a week later. Of course, the last alternate has to be appeased. They have ups and downs in Xiangbei.The final lineup looks like this:

No. 4, captain, big boat, 179cm/67kg, SF;

No. 5, vice captain, Murakami, 188cm/80kg, C;

No. 6, third grade, Hechun, 183cm/74kg, C;

No. 7, third grade, Noma, 169cm/55kg, PG;

No. 8, third grade, black wood, 174cm/60kg, SG;

No. 9, second grade, Ueda, 185cm/78kg, C;

No. 10, Grade 166, Dragon, 55cm/[-]kg, PG;

No. 11, second grade, Ikeda, 175cm/62kg, SG;

No. 12, second grade, Koizumi, 173cm/59kg, SG
No. 13, first grade, Shiben, 188cm/77kg, PF;

No. 14, first grade, Osu, 181cm/66kg, PF;

No. 15, first grade, Shimoda, 172cm/58kg, SG.

Alternate players:

No. 16, first grade, Echizen, 168cm/55kg, PG.

This is the entire lineup of Xiangbei this year. For the last list, coach Anzai has been entangled for a long time about choosing Shimoda or Echizen.After thinking about it again and again, he decided to take Shimoda with him.

There are currently two Zhengyin point guards in the team. This should not be a big problem. One more pitcher may also have some other ways to play in the game.

Coach Tian Gang from Lingnan invited Coach Anxi to a practice match, and Coach Anxi also agreed.Playing against Lingnan, although they are not as good as the original, the relationship between the two teams has always been very good, and it would be good to play more practice games.

The young people in Dachuan knew that they were going to play a practice match with Lingnan, and they were very excited.Renjia Lingnan is a strong team that occupies the top eight positions all the year round, and occasionally only reaches the top sixteen, but its strength must not be underestimated.

Everyone's enthusiasm for training was even higher. In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, the agreed time for the practice match. Coach Anxi took his team to Lingnan by tram.

This is also a rule. It is understandable for a weak team to play against a strong team.Unless the strong team offers to come to the weak team, this will never change.

There was nothing to say along the way, everyone soon arrived at Lingnan, and coach Tian Gang was also leading the team to welcome everyone in Xiangbei.
