The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

"Okay, okay." Fujima interrupted the little commotion in the team with a smile: "I also heard about the practice match between Xiangbei and Lingnan. Lingnan is not weak. Maybe I should pay attention to their first game. Let’s look at the result of the match against Miuradai. If Shohoku wins, we can take some time to watch their next match.”

Xiangbei, that was a name that made Xiangyang hate him in another world.

But Lin Dong didn't remind him anything.

After all, he has his own Xiangyang, which is different from the other world.

It was Fujima's words that aroused some of his interest.

Xiangyang had a head coach last year? Coach Gu Yi? Expelled?

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong feels that although Fujima has a certain technical and tactical foundation and vision, it is still much worse than a full-time coach, and sitting on the bench as a coach will also greatly affect his ability as a coach. Player performance.

The stadium is like a battlefield. If the players are soldiers, then the coach is the coach and commander-in-chief. He can observe problems on the sidelines in a timely manner that the players on the stadium cannot find, and make corresponding adjustments.

Whether it is technical and tactical arrangements, adjustments to the players' own status, or attacks on the opponent's weaknesses, etc.

Xiangyang really needs a full-time coach.

As last year's county runner-up and one of the top 16 teams in the country, the school did not neglect it, but it did not assign a head coach to the team. This was something that Lin Dong found incredible.

Mito bathhouse...

After all, it is a store recommended by Fujima. Coach Tanichi from Xiangyang used to like to come here, so Fujima has been here a few times, but he has not been here since coach Tanichi left Xiangyang last year.

However, now that Lin Dong has become a frequent visitor here, he will occasionally accompany Lin Dong to take a bath.

There were only two people in the pool, and the mist-filled hot spring created an atmosphere that was very relaxing and suitable for communication.

Hearing Lin Dong ask about the coach, Fujima said: "Of course Xiangyang has a coach, last year and the year before...Coach Gu Yi resigned on his own initiative."

"The cheerleading incident was just a small trigger, mainly because of the results."

"The Xiangyang School Board actually attaches great importance to the team and has invested a lot, including me. I was recruited from Osaka by the school with a scholarship when I was in the first grade." Fujima explained with a smile: "I am not originally from Kanagawa. , but my father happened to work here, but I lived with my mother in Osaka when I was in junior high school.”

"Coach Gu Yi taught me a lot. He is a very wise elder, but he has a very strong personality and did not get along well with the school board. When Xiangyang failed to reach the top 16 in the country the year before last, the people on the school board ridiculed him, so he asked The school board promised that we would break through to the top eight last year, but we lost to Toyotama in the top 16 again..."

"So the school board used the excuse that the cheerleaders were wearing revealing clothes and believed that the head coach failed to supervise this, which had a bad impact. They made a lot of accusations against him and deliberately excluded him. Coach Tanichi resigned and went to Tokyo to become a teacher. The basketball coach of the elementary school, Hanagata and I went to see him later, hoping to persuade the school board of directors to invite coach Tanichi to come back by co-signing the team, but the old man was already a little disheartened by the school board... In the end, he couldn't. Let it go."

"Don't the school have any ideas to find another coach for the team?"

"Of course there is." Fujima said: "The school board of directors is interested in a person who was once as well-known in the country as Coach Anzai of Shobei, but they are still in negotiations, and the other party has not agreed until now. A more ordinary coach , the school board didn’t like it, so it postponed it, but the team can’t live without a coach, so I can only take over temporarily.”

"Are you as famous as Coach Anzai?" Lin Dong was a little surprised. In the Japanese high school basketball world, there are probably not many people who are as famous as the white-haired Buddha Anzai Mitsuyoshi. After all, he was the devilish coach in the Japanese university basketball world.

Fujima nodded: "Kitano Shoichi, the strong Osaka team Toyotama that defeated us last year was brought up by coach Kitano. I heard that he and coach Anzai were college classmates. Coach Kitano advocates offense. The school board feels that defense is greater than offense. Xiangyang will be very helpful...but the school board has also promised me that if we get tickets for the national competition after the county selection, and there is no reply from Coach Kitano, then we will help the team as soon as possible. Looking for a new coach and professional trainer to guide summer training and national competitions, just..."

He smiled helplessly: "The trainer is okay, but in such a hurry, how can it be so easy to find an excellent coach? I'm afraid it's more of a formality than reality."

While the two were talking, a loud noise came from the door.

"Those hateful guys! It's not what they said at all. They must be jealous of my new shoes! Woo hoo hoo, the sneakers I just bought, the boss said they are the sixth generation of Dan..."

"Hahaha, it looks like it's fun, I'll step on it too!"

"Ah! You fat pig, I'm going to kill you!"

"What are you doing, you guys, keep your voices down, there are customers in the store." Uncle Kawarai said in a voice that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes, yes, yes." The voice immediately became smaller. Although he still said the same words, his momentum became a bit weird: "I'll beat you to death... I'll beat you to death..."

"I'm going to scream if you do this again..."

As soon as you hear these funny voices, you will know who is coming to the store.

Lin Dong couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Teng Zhen asked curiously: "Do you know him?"

"He's from Xiangbei." Lin Dong said with a smile, "A very talented newcomer."

"basketball?"

"Um."

"If you say you are very talented, then it seems that you are indeed very talented. Is it Rukawa Kaede from Tomigaoka Junior High School?" Fujima remembered what the basketball manager Yuya said before, that this style is a bit...

"No, I think this guy's potential is still higher than Rukawa Kaede."

"Potential does not mean strength, it's just the level of a junior high school student." Teng Zhen smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously: "At most, it's equivalent to last year's Immortal Way... Speaking of which, I really want to see you. What about the scene opposite Akira Sendō.”

"When Lingnan High School recruited him from Tokyo last year, he caused quite a stir in Kanagawa. He was hailed as a rare super rookie in Kanagawa in ten years. He was the best talent I have ever seen, except for you and Amu. The one-on-one guy, like you, has very comprehensive and gorgeous skills, and he doesn’t have the immaturity and impetuosity of a newcomer. He is a player with a very mature style, and he also plays the No. 3 position like you."

"It seems like an opponent worth looking forward to." Lin Dong is still a little interested in Xiandao Akira.

Whether it comes from Fujima's evaluation or from the pursuit of Sendō in the comics, the current star players in Japanese high school basketball, except for a few people such as Sanno Kogyo's Sawabita Eiji and Aichi Shin's Morohoshi Dai, are comprehensive in terms of strength. I’m afraid it’s Sendo Akira.

Akira Sendō's playing style is very mature, he not only has skills but also wisdom. He is not comparable to the current Rukawa Kaede, and his strength is even faintly superior to Hainan's Amu.

He can be regarded as the number one person in Kanagawa at the moment - if you don't count yourself.

The effect of my current training is gradually weakening, mainly because of the lack of opponents and confrontation. I hope that Akira Sendō can give me a different feeling.

"Don't get me wrong, although I think highly of him, I don't think Akira Sendō is a threat to you." Fujima laughed: "I just want to see him, who is also No. 3 and has gorgeous skills. How much of your strength can be forced out? This is really worth looking forward to."
