Chapter 218 Recruitment from various universities
"Oh, everyone is very motivated." Teacher Anxi suddenly appeared at the entrance of the gymnasium.
"Hello, coach!!!" The Xiangbei players hurriedly greeted the coach
“I am very pleased that you are so motivated. You have achieved the best results ever and made it to the national competition. I can tell you for sure that you are the strongest even in the national competition!!”
“We are the strongest!!!”
“Number one in Japan!!”
After everyone expressed their feelings excitedly, Teacher Anxi waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then announced: "There is still about a month until the national competition in August. In order to arrange your exercise properly, everyone should do a physical examination today."
Under the guidance of Mr. Anxi, the players of Xiangbei all took a relatively simple physical test. After 3 months of training and competition, most of the players' physical condition improved. The changes of the body shape of Xiangbei players are as follows:
Akagi Takenori height 200cm weight 96kg (not much change)
Kogure Kiminnobu's height is 186cm and his weight is 79kg (not much change).
Mitsui Shou height 188cm weight 80kg (not much change)
Hasegawa Kazushi is 192cm tall and weighs 84kg
Tokuo Horita is 192cm tall and weighs 88kg.
Katsume Ichiro is 186cm tall and weighs 77kg (two centimeters taller)
Sakuragi Hanamichi is 191cm tall and weighs 89kg
Kiyota Nobunaga is 180cm tall and weighs 71kg (Excited Kiyota-san, he is finally meters tall)
Mito Yohei height 176cm weight 80kg
Yoshitaka Fukuda is 188cm tall and weighs 81kg.
Nakajima Ryo is 190cm tall and weighs 80kg (height finally reaches meters)
Hongming Yanyue is 176cm tall and weighs 62kg (Yueyue has become stronger)
After the physical test, Anzai first proposed to add double-teaming exercises to the training. When Coach Anzai went to Mugure's house that day, Mugure told Coach Anzai about Mori Shigehiro's situation in detail. Mugure also suggested to Teacher Anzai that they should practice more tactics to defend against the opponent's pick-and-roll. Only through a lot of position training can everyone form a tacit understanding when switching and supplementing defense. The situation on the court changes rapidly. If everyone has to greet each other every time, it is likely to cause big mistakes. Coach Anzai agreed
"Who is this Mori Shigehiro? He needs two double teams. Captain Akagi is strong enough to handle him." The other players of Xiangbei who had not watched the match between Aiwa Academy and Meiho Industry were a little confused. And in their impression, Akagi can be called the best center in Kanagawa. If it was a senior center, it might attract the attention of Xiangbei players, but how strong can a freshman who has just started out be? Amid everyone's confusion, Mugure explained to them the basic performance of Mori Shigehiro.
After hearing what Mugure said about Mori Shigehiro, the players of Xiangbei were very shocked, especially the three inside players, Horita, Nakajima and Fukuda. In their eyes, Sakuragi's physical fitness was already amazing, even compared with Akagi, he was not inferior. He was actually knocked over by Mori Shigehiro. And with Sakuragi Hanamichi's personality, he did not deny Mugure's statement. How abnormal must Mori Shigehiro's body be.
The next day, Coach Anxi and a young man appeared at the Xiangbei Gymnasium.
"Let me introduce him. His name is Ohashi Yokoku. He was a student of mine when I was teaching him in college. He was also a center in college." In order to make the training content more targeted, Anxi specially found his former student. Although Ohashi graduated from college many years ago and no longer has systematic training, he still plays street ball after graduation and maintains a good figure. He imitated Mori Shigehiro, and everyone added double-teaming exercises on him.
"Akagi, you need to lower your waist... Oh, and use your shoulders... Don't push your hands so far out, keep your hands close to your body. If you push them out, the referee will call a foul... Sakuragi, stay close to me in front, don't let him move..."
Teacher Anxi seemed to have returned to his former self as the "white-haired devil" in college basketball. All the Xiangbei players had been reprimanded by Teacher Anxi to varying degrees. The atmosphere, which had become somewhat relaxed due to winning the county championship, suddenly became tense.
"Okay... take a break for a while. Ohashi, come here." Teacher Anxi called Ohashi over and said, "Look carefully, you have to turn like this, understand?" Teacher Anxi also did the movements himself to guide Ohashi. After Ohashi imitated a few times, Teacher Anxi nodded and said, "Right, that's it, the supporting leg must be strong. When you train later, you have to treat it as a game, don't be afraid of hurting them. If I find that you are not using all your strength, I will run 50 laps around the court."
"Coach, I've graduated from college and I'm no longer a basketball player." Ohashi cried.
"Oh, haha. I forgot about that. Anyway, you have to do your best to fight them. Just like in college, don't worry about them being high school students. Show the strength you had in college."
Mugure and the others who were drinking water nearby were so frightened when they heard what Anzai said that their hands trembled. Mugure wiped the drink that spilled on his mouth and asked Sakuragi and the others, "Who will double-team Ohashi-senpai?"
Yohei said with a sad face: "It seems that I should stick close to Ohashi-senpai in the front, and Horita-senpai should hold him back from the back."
Sakuragi pointed at Tokuo Horita, who also looked like he was about to die, and said with a gloating smile: "Senior Horita, you better be careful! Haha!"
"Shhhh." However, Mr. Anxi blew the whistle to signal the continuation of the training and said, "Sakuragi, you continue to hold the bridge from the back. If you can't hold it, run 50 laps for me."
Suddenly, Sakuragi wanted to die.
After a week of training. "Tomorrow is the final exam. On the day of the exam, everyone will suspend training and gather at the gym the day after tomorrow afternoon. Disband."
Coach Anxi and Ohashi walked out of the gymnasium. "Thank you for your hard work, Ohashi. Come back the day after tomorrow afternoon."
"It's not hard. I'm honored to be able to help Coach Anzai. By the way, the Xiangbei team is really strong. The strength of the captain Akagi and Sakuragi is beyond my expectation. At first, I was selfish and didn't dare to use my full strength for fear of hurting them. Later, I found that if I didn't use my full strength, I couldn't push them. And the point guard Mugure, if he went to college now, he would have no problem becoming a main player. And Mitsui, when I was in college, I only remember that Matsuki Jiro's shooting was comparable to Mitsui, but when Matsuki first entered college, his shooting was not that accurate." Ohashi commented on the Xiangbei players.
"Haha, they are indeed good, but that's not enough. They still need to be trained more strictly. Do you remember the beach training I led you through?"
"Little brothers of Xiangbei, your hard times are coming." Thinking of the training in college, Ohashi couldn't help but shudder.
On the second day's final exam, although Shohoku still had students with learning difficulties such as Sakuragi and Horita, under the guidance of Murasakibara, Akagi and others, these students with learning difficulties still passed the exam smoothly and did not need to retake the exam. Shohoku will face the national competition with the best lineup!
