NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Mitsuyoshi Anzai ~ A former Japanese national player. After retiring, he worked as the head basketball coach at a famous domestic university. His training was strict and he was known as the "white-haired demon".

Later, he was deeply hit by the incident involving player Ryuji Tani, so he chose to resign and returned to his hometown of Kanagawa. He rejected invitations from many famous high school basketball schools in the county, and finally chose to work as a basketball coach at the public school Shohoku High School.

Now he is just an old man who is happy to see his children love basketball and play happily.

Therefore, Coach Anxi rarely interfered in the affairs of the basketball team at Xiangbei High School over the years, and he also adhered to the principle of stimulating interest and cultivating hobbies for the players.

The "White-haired Devil" has completely transformed into today's "White-haired Buddha".

Tani Ze Longji is the pain of Coach Anzai's life:

Ryuji Tani Ze is a basketball genius discovered by Coach Anzai in college. He is 200cm tall and extremely agile. He is highly regarded by Coach Anzai and is a freshman who has high hopes for him.

Coach Anzai regarded him as a rough diamond in the future of Japanese basketball and required him to be as strict as possible with the standards of a future national player.

However, Tanizawa, the person involved, could not accept such training and pressure, so he flew to the United States on impulse.

He entered a second-tier university in the United States without any preparation, and ultimately suffered a "Waterloo" in the American college basketball world due to various reasons such as lack of foundation improvement, lack of technical development, and language barriers.

Under the paralysis of regret, pressure and drugs, he chose to end his life in a car accident.

Looking at the kind old man in front of him who was dressed simply, chubby and looked like the old man in KFC, Hanamichi could not tell that there was a "white-haired demon" similar to "Majin Buu" hidden inside.

"By the way, Fat Buu looks a lot like Coach Anzai! They're both chubby!" Hanamichi thought with his mind at a loss.

As if he could tell that Hanamichi was thinking something impolite, Coach Anzai glanced at the players and casually said, "By the way, I'm here today because there's a game going on against Ryonan High School."

At this time, Ryonan High School was still very powerful, one of the top four teams in the county. In the previous year's county basketball game, the Shohoku basketball team met the Ryonan basketball team in the first round. Although Takenori Akagi shut out Ryonan's center Jun Uozumi throughout the game, they still lost miserably to Ryonan. The reason was that Coach Takeka poached the talented Sendoh from Tokyo to the Ryonan basketball team. He scored 47 points alone in that game.

To put it simply, Akagi completely defeated Uozumi, and Sendoh completely defeated Akagi's four teammates. From this we can see the increase in strength of a team after getting a super rookie.

This year, Ryonan applied to Xiangbei for a practice match for two main purposes:

One is to enhance Yuzumi's confidence by comparing the growth of captain Yuzumi Jun.

After all, he had spent the past year honing his basics, footwork, and so on, just to defeat Akagi.

Shigeichi Tanaka is very clear about the progress of his basketball team's captain Yuzumi. If there is a Most Improved Award this year, Shigeichi Tanaka thinks who else but Yuzumi should win it!

The other is to observe whether the Xiangbei basketball team, which has Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi, has undergone a huge transformation and whether it has the strength to threaten the Ryonan basketball team.

Yes, even with the addition of Rukawa and Hanamichi, Shigeka still refuses to admit that the Shohoku basketball team can threaten Ryonan. It is not because he cannot get it, after all, they are just two first-year students.

Coach Anzai agreed to this for only one reason, which was to let the players of Xiangbei feel the strength of their team and strengthen the team's confidence. At the same time, let this game be lost by a small margin, so that the newcomers, especially the super rookies Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi, can have a good taste of failure.

Coach Anxi knows very well that one of the best ways to effectively motivate high school students to train hard is to fail!

Taste the taste of failure, then climb out of hell and get a new life! This is the teaching principle believed by his good friend Mifune Nyudo.

He had believed this in college, but now, with the experience of his beloved student Ryuji Tani, he racked his brains to find this opportunity in order not to scare away these fragile first-year students, especially because he was afraid that a crushing defeat would hit them too hard and cause them to resign. Otherwise, he would not have found Ryonan's coach Tanaka to discuss this game together.

This match was planned by Coach Anzai and Coach Tanaoka. Everyone got what they wanted, and even the result was planned. The screenwriter was Shigekazu Tanaoka, and the behind-the-scenes planner was Mitsuyoshi Anzai.

Actors: Jun Uozumi, Akira Sendoh, Takenori Akagi, Kaede Rukawa, Hanamichi (Sakuragi), and... etc...

When Coach Anzai announced the opponents of the practice match, not only the second-year students such as Yasuda, but even the vice-captain Mugure Mitsunobu were shocked. They had just suffered a crushing defeat to Ryonan last year, and now the scar was being opened again. Did they have to suffer another heavy blow?

Only three people remained unmoved. Akagi was thinking about countermeasures and the cards in his hand.

Rukawa Kaede was naturally disdainful. Elite? I am fighting against the elite, no matter if you are in the top four or not!

Hanamichi is a prophet. In the original work, the "weakened" version of Hanamichi, Shohoku, was able to fight Ryonan on equal terms, not to mention that he is even stronger now, and... that fox is also stronger.

Through constant secret competition and observation at night, Huamichi was sure of one thing: the fox's physical fitness had improved to a certain extent. Although it was impossible for him to fully support a high school basketball game, he believed that what he lacked at this stage was the ability to adapt to the rhythm of the game. As long as he was allowed to play one or two high-intensity games, this stinky fox would naturally understand how to allocate his physical strength.

And the current Ryonan basketball team is such a good opponent.

As for Hanamichi, Hanamichi said: What? Physical strength needs to be allocated? Isn't it from the beginning to the end?

(Those who know the business can check carefully. From the beginning to two-thirds of the game against the equally matched opponent <Hainan Basketball Team>, Hanamichi's movements were still as agile as at the beginning. This means that if the physical strength is properly distributed, Hanamichi's physical strength is enough to play three such games.)

Coach Anxi looked at the players lined up in a row and said gently, as if he realized something belatedly: "Wow, there are several new players this year, so let's have a match between the first-year students and the senior students!"

After a little thought, Akagi understood the purpose of Coach Anzai arranging this team competition, which was not only to select the official players to play against Ryonan, but also to observe the strength of all the players.

Akagi felt that this was better. Hanamichi and Rukawa were like needles in a bag right now. Through this team competition, they could stand out and get everyone's recognition with their strength.
