Slam Dunk, Start with a Perfect Three-Pointer

Shohoku after leaving.

Just got out of the gym.

The reporter rushed forward.

Countless mics went straight into Tatsuhiko's face.

"Tatsuhiko what is your goal?"

"What do you think is the strength of Ryonan or Kainan?"

"I heard that you are still a freshman in high school, what are your plans for the future?"

This series of questions made Tatsuhiko couldn't help but click his tongue.

Although Tatsuhiko thinks that his popularity may be very high.

But it was the first time to be interviewed with such a microphone.

Sure enough, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Is his popularity so high now?

Tatsuhiko looked at Kogure.

Kogure smiled instantly.

Makes a clearance for Tatsuhiko.

"Tatsuhiko is too tired. If we interview, we can wait until after the national competition."

They are in a hurry to go to the hospital now.

There is no time to sit down and be interviewed by reporters.

not to mention.

Most of these questions asked by reporters are very sharp.

They want to make big news all day long.

Tatsuhiko though knows he is very famous.

But he's not ready for an interview just yet.

Seeing that there are still stubborn reporters staying in place, wanting to interview Tatsuhiko.

Kogure unceremoniously issued an order to evict the guest.

"We are going to the hospital to visit Coach Anzai now, please don't waste our time!"

have to say.

Kogure's experience is still very sophisticated.

Most of the reporters still take hard things rather than soft ones.

Seeing that there is little chance to interview Tatsuhiko.

The reporter left after taking a few photos.

Everyone left immediately.

Go to the hospital.

They wanted to surprise Coach Anzai.

Hospital.

Everyone was in a hurry.

Ran to Coach Anzai's ward.

Although Akagi had already warned everyone in Shohoku in advance.

But what a movement of a group of young lads.

One can imagine.

The doctor scolded.

"This is a hospital! Be quiet!"

Shohoku pulled back slightly.

But they still couldn't hold back the excitement on their faces.

The current Shohoku is the unbeaten champion team in Kanagawa Prefecture.

They advanced to the national competition as the No. 1 seed!

this joy.

They wanted to share it with Coach Anzai as soon as possible.

Come to the door of the ward.

Coach Anzai is lying on the hospital bed.

Akagi and the others watched through the small window.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was ready to push the door open.

Tatsuhiko blocks.

"Don't be reckless, Coach Anzai is still resting!"

Sakuragi is just too reckless.

Go straight in like this.

no doubt.

It will definitely affect Coach Anzai's rest very much.

Ayako patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's head with his hand.

"Learn more from Tatsuhiko, you can't do this anymore.

Sakuragi Hanamichi frowned.

He wanted to tell Coach Anzai the good news as soon as possible.

Ignore the fact that Coach Anzai is still a patient.

at this time.

inside the room.

Coach Anzai's family reminds Coach Anzai.

"They are here. Do you want them to go back today and come back tomorrow?"

Coach Anzai reached for his glasses.

smile.

"You'd better let them in, these children definitely want to see me the first time.

The family members are worried.

"The doctor said you need to rest now.

A reluctant expression appeared on her face.

Coach Anzai waved his hand with difficulty.

"As their coach, these kids charge forward. As a leader, how can I back down?"

Seeing that Coach Anzai's meaning is very clear.

The family members couldn't resist what Coach Anzai meant.

She still told Coach Anzai a few words

Then the door of the ward was opened.

As soon as the door is opened.

I saw people sitting on the ground.

The family members spoke softly.

"Come in, kids."

Hear voices.

Everyone stood up suddenly.

Tatsuhiko frowned, reminding everyone of Shohoku.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the tranquility of the hospital."

Everyone nodded.

Walking lightly towards the inside of the ward.

Meet Coach Anzai.

The excitement on everyone's faces could no longer be contained.

"Coach Anzai, we won"!"

"we won!"

Coach Anzai had a kind smile on his face.

"I watched all of your games, and you all performed well. Tatsuhiko's coaching is also remarkable, Sakuragi Hanamichi is very active, and Mitsui and Akagi are also playing very well [Kaede Rukawa and Tatsuhiko's cooperation is also very subtle."

Coach Anzai praised the Shohoku players one by one.

"I'm so proud of you guys! Ahem!"

Coach Anzai looked at the Shohoku players in front of him lovingly, and coughed lightly.

The lovely children in front of him reminded him of when he was teaching at the university.

He was not as kind as he is now.

Him in the past.

He is a very famous white-haired ghost.

Known for his rigorous training.

And his team can always get very good results in national competitions.

Coach Anzai thought of his favorite student.

Gu Ze.

That was Coach Anzai's most proud student.

He is two meters tall, has super physical talent and athletic talent.

Especially in basketball, basically no one can match.

And Gu Ze has led the team to the quarterfinals for two consecutive years.

This is inseparable from Coach Anzai's iron-blooded coaching.

But if there is no super talented player like Gu Ze.

It is also very difficult to rely on coach Anzai alone.

But Gu Ze also has one of the biggest flaws.

It is that his foundation is not solid.

Gu Ze's physical fitness is very strong, and his golf quotient is also extremely high.

But he doesn't pay attention to the basics.

Coach Anzai has told him many times.

"We must do the most basic training well. Only by laying a solid foundation can we climb up better. 17

But Gu Ze didn't pay attention to Coach Anzai's words at all.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the other players on the team, it would be average.

He's already a champion by now.

And listen to the hype of the media every day.

In Gu Ze's heart, there were also thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"Going abroad?!"

Coach Anzai looked at Gu Ze in front of him in surprise.

"Yes, coach, after this year's competition, I want to go to the United States to play."

Gu Ze knelt down in front of Coach Anzai and said in a deep voice.

"No! You are very unsuitable to play in the United States now!"

Coach Anzai directly rejected Gu Ze.

Coach Anzai has seen too many players like Gu Ze.

Although they rely on their bodies to be able to run amok in the domestic league.

Scoring is like chopping melons and vegetables.

But put it in a big environment like the United States.

Their advantage is useless.

In that basketball country.

Players with far superior physical fitness abound.

And players who can play in the NBA are even rarer.

A player who has dominated the NCAA league.

Going to the NBA may not necessarily achieve any good results.

not to mention.

Coach Anzai is also very aware of Gu Ze's talent.

In China, Gu Ze can rely on his talent to live very comfortably.

But Gu Ze wanted to challenge USA Basketball.

That's basically impossible.

When Gu Ze was in high school, he didn't have a good basketball foundation.

Now I want to land in the United States again.

Basically impossible.

"I have already contacted the university in the United States. After the national competition this year, I will drop out, coach.

Gu Ze did not discuss with Coach Anzai.

He has already contacted the American scouts.

After dropping out, he will directly join an NCAA university in the United States.

If he can make a name for himself in his junior season.

Those he will enter the NBA draft at the same time.

If you can't make any achievements in your junior season.

Then participate in the NBA draft after graduating from senior year.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Coach Anzai looked at his former favorite player in astonishment.

He never expected that Gu Ze had already made all the preparations.

"It's been so long, thank you coach for teaching me."

Gu Ze bowed deeply to Coach Anzai.

Then he turned and left the room.

Coach Anzai wants to dissuade Gu Ze, but he doesn't know how to speak out.

After that.

Coach Anzai has changed.

He is no longer as harsh and serious as before.

On the contrary, he is full of kindness and encouragement to the players in the team.

Even after leaving Gu Ze, the team's record plummeted.

Coach Anzai will not criticize the crowd.

Instead, they are encouraged to perform better in the future.

And at the same time.

Coach Anzai has also been paying attention to Gu Ze's movements.

He secretly regretted countless times at night.

If only his attitude could have been milder at that time.

Maybe Gu Ze would not make such a straightforward decision.

They originally had many directions to communicate with.

And the other side.

Gu Ze, who is in the United States, has not achieved the expected results.

He showed great incompatibility with American basketball.

First season in the NCAA.

Gu Ze averaged 0.7 points and 1.2 assists per game.

It can be said that it fell through the glasses of the Japanese media.

What Gu Ze is most uncomfortable with is the ambiguity of positioning.

Gu Ze's height was originally the best small forward template.

But the dribbling level required by small forwards is far from being achieved by Gu Ze.

And put Gu Ze in the power forward position.

No matter the size or height.

Gu Zedu is very slender and very unsuited to confrontation in this position.

Gradually, there was less and less news about Jon Ze in the United States.

During Gu Ze's two years in the NCAA university, he didn't make a name for himself.

After graduation, Gu Ze, who had no ball to play, could only hang out in the development leagues of various NBA teams.

Living in the United States on a meager salary.

It's not that he didn't think about going back to Japan.

But thinking of his resolute departure from Coach Anzai at that time.

He couldn't stop regretting it.

If his foundation was better at that time, he would not have played so uncomfortable in the NCAA.

The current development will definitely be much better than then.

But it was too late for Gu Ze to understand.

He spent two years in the NCAA to lay his basketball foundation.

But it was too late.

An older rookie like Gu Ze, who has no characteristics or merits.

No NBA team will pay attention to him.

Coach Anzai is seeing the news about Gu Ze.

It is already five years later.

Time

Coach Anzai, who is a college coach, suddenly saw the newspaper.

The title on the top page reads.

"." Japanese genius player, Tanizawa Ryuji was found dead in his hotel room due to overdose of DP!"

Coach Anzai's hands trembled.

He didn't think about it.

He tremblingly called Gu Ze's family, wanting to confirm the truth of the news.

But the crying on the other end of the phone caused the receiver in his hand to fall to the ground.

since then.

Coach Anzai left college basketball.

He came to Shohoku.

Coach Anzai wants to discover more super teams like Gu Ze.

Help them get the best possible foundation for high school.

Let their future not be as tragic as Gu Ze.

Anzai's impressions of coaching returned to the ward.

After everyone booed and asked for warmth.

Yasuda and others left.

Because they did not play today, they will continue to do several sets of training when they go back.

Only Akagi, Tatsuhiko and other starters are left.

Akagi asked worriedly.

"Coach Anzai, is your body okay?"

This is what worries Akagi the most.

The national competition is about to start.

If Coach Anzai is hospitalized for a long time for observation.

Whether Shohoku can dominate the country this year is a question mark.

Coach Anzai waved.

"I can be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

Akagi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, you can accompany us to the national competition?"

Everyone was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Coach Anzai's illness was not so serious.

This is really the biggest good news right now.

Coach Anzai nodded.

The crowd cheered.

Tatsuhiko is smiling.

There was not much disturbance.

In his opinion, Coach Anzai was in.

Akagi and others have comfort in their hearts.

But even without Coach Anzai.

He also has the confidence to lead Shohoku to the national championship.

The nurse reminded.

"(Zhao Qian's) patient still needs rest."

Shohoku is heard by everyone.

I can only leave first.

Coach Anzai watched Tatsuhiko's back as he left.

His eyes were full of gratification.

He watched the live broadcast.

Tatsuhiko's performance compared to Kainan's game.

Be it offensive or defensive.

Another level up.

Tatsuhiko's progress speed is beyond his imagination.

He was on par with Sendoh before, but now he has been able to suppress Sendoh.

The key is first grade.

Tatsuhiko's future prospects are too broad.

Stick to this correct path.

Tatsuhiko can definitely play some tricks in basketball.

It is even the palace in the minds of all basketball players.

American NBA.

Tatsuhiko isn't hopeless either.

"Gu Ze, have you seen it? This is a super genius on par with you!"

Family reminder.

"Don't worry too much about these kids, especially Tatsuhiko, he's a lot more mature than you think.

The family members are also very aware of Gu Ze's affairs.

"No, Tatsuhiko is much better than Tanizawa."

Coach Anzai thought of Tatsuhiko's precise ultra-long three-pointer.

With this ultra-long three-pointer alone, it is impossible for Tatsuhiko not to play in the United States.

Even on an NBA team.

Tatsuhiko can also be developed as a spot-up shooter.

And if we can continue to develop Tatsuhiko's organizational and coordination skills.

Super shooter among point guards.

This is a rare attribute.

If Tatsuhiko can really do it.

His future may not be limited to just an NBA starter purely.

Seeing Coach Anzai's excited expression.

The family members naturally knew what was going on in his mind.

She spoke out to remind Coach Anzai.

"But the doctor has already said that you need to rest for at least half a year.

Coach Anzai smiled.

"I want my coaching career to be perfect!".
