Chapter 15 Domination of the Country
Fujima didn't see Hanamichi Sakuragi. Those guys seemed to just accompany Mito Yohei home to get something.
However, Lin Dong's words about 'a very talented newcomer' still attracted his considerable attention.
There is no doubt about Lin Dong's level, and his sharp vision. After getting along with him for more than a month, he has already been recognized by Fujima.
So he said he didn't care, but after returning to the basketball club, he still found someone to inquire about the situation in Xiangbei in advance.
As an acting coach, understanding your potential opponents is also part of your job.
So in the next few days, all kinds of strange things in Xiangbei have reached the ears of the Xiangyang team members.
A fight in the basketball club led to the almost disbandment of the Shohoku Basketball Club;
The strength of the newcomer Rukawa Kaede was highly praised by the students responsible for gathering information, and they believed that it was not far behind last year's Sendō;
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was praised by Lin Dong as the representative of talent, was just a beginner who had just started playing basketball for a month. He didn't even understand the rules of basketball. I heard that he had made a lot of jokes in Shohoku, so he might have great potential. But he is not someone worthy of Xiangyang's special attention.
The real big deal is that Hisashi Mitsui, the former basketball captain of Takeishi Junior High School and the MVP of the Kanagawa Junior High Prefecture Tournament three years ago, has joined the Shohoku Basketball Club, or in other words, it is more appropriate to return to the team.
Mitsui Hisashi, this name is not unfamiliar to Xiangyang.
It was because Mitsui Hisashi joined Shohoku and because they were afraid of coach Anzai that Xiangyang and Hainan used scholarships and free tuition to recruit Fujima and Maki Shinichi from other places.
Therefore, in Kanagawa’s high school basketball world, Shinichi Maki, Kenji Fujima, and Hisashi Mitsui of Shohoku at that time were hailed as the so-called Tripod of the Three Kingdoms. And because of the relationship between local players, Shohoku was obviously regarded as orthodox by the Kanagawa media at the time. Even some publicity reports gave it the title of 'Shu', the country that Japanese people like the most. It was so popular that it even overshadowed Mu Shinichi and Fujima.
It's a pity that the reputation is as high as the fall. In the end, Hisashi Mitsui failed to represent Shohoku in the summer league that year. As a result, the Three Kingdoms came to an end, and Amu and Fujima became the dominant players in Kanagawa.
Now that Mitsui Hisashi is back, coupled with the addition of last year's junior high school MVP super rookie Rukawa Kaede, Shohoku's paper strength has improved a lot. In addition, in the previous practice match between them and Lingnan, in the absence of Mitsui Hisashi, they could only Losing one point to Lingnan made Fujima have to pay attention to Xiangbei.
For this reason, after the prefectural preliminaries started, Fujima, Hanagata Toru and others went to watch the first match between Shohoku and Miuradai.
The result was of course a huge victory for Xiangbei without any suspense, and we also saw more cards in Xiangbei's hands.
Point guard Ryota Miyagi's lightning speed also remains fresh in Fujima's mind.
"Unexpectedly strong. I did underestimate Xiangbei before. I said they lost one point to Lingnan in the practice match. I really didn't believe it. I feel that their strength is higher than Lingnan last year."
"When they played Lingnan, they didn't have that short guard Mitsui Hisoka."
"That's no wonder." Fujima suddenly understood, nodded and said: "It's a pity that Miuradai is too weak and failed to bring out the true strength of Xiangbei. It is at most a warm-up, and we can't see much yet."
"I guess Shohoku will be playing the quarterfinals with us in a few days. I originally thought it would be Miuradai, but I didn't expect to lose to Shohoku by 63 points... The other teams in Zone B are not good enough, and they are not on the same level as Shohoku. "
"It's a good thing for us, at least we know our opponent in advance." Fujima said with a smile: "Although Xiangbei is very strong in every position, it also has several obvious loopholes. We at Xiangyang happen to be very restrained in their style."
"First, Shohoku's No. 10 is a newbie, and he can't even talk about basic skills; although No. 7 Miyagi Ryota is fast, his height determines that he is a huge loophole on the defensive end. These two can be our offensive The main breakthrough point."
"Ito, you come as the starting point guard. Against Miyagi Ryota, just focus on his mid-range on the defensive end. Even if you let him break into the paint, Hanagata and others will help defend him. His height cannot score points at the basket. On the offensive end, you can use your height to beat him hard."
"Yes, Fujima-senpai!" Taku Ito was extremely excited. Although he was on Xiangyang's bench last year, he didn't get a few opportunities to play until the national competition. This year, he has become the starting point guard.
"Takano, you are responsible for Shohoku's No. 10, but you have to be careful. Although that guy is a newbie, his jumping ability is quite good. Coach Anzai's positioning for him should be rebounding. Don't let him get into the basket easily."
"Second, lock down Shohoku's perimeter, and that's Mitsui Hisashi." Fujima looked at Hasegawa: "Hasegawa, Mitsui Hisashi leaves it to you. Don't underestimate him because he hasn't touched basketball in two years. His ball sense He is still very good. He is the kind of person who can turn into unlimited firepower once he finds his touch. He is our defensive expert. Coupled with the physical training during this period, we can wrap him up and lock him up. Even if he fouls, don't let him in the three-pointer. The best way to deal with a pitcher and block his pitching feel is to take a shot outside the line."
"Leave it to me!" Hasegawa laughed and said, "I used to look up to him when I was in junior high school, but now we are no longer in junior high school. I will stick to him to death, and I will exhaust him to death!"
Fujima nodded: "As long as Mitsui Hisashi's outside line is locked, Xiangbei's offensive methods will appear to be single, so... thirdly, they rely too much on the inside line, and our Xiangyang's strongest point is also the inside line. Our average height It’s enough to create a steel gate on the inside... Hanata, I’ll leave it to you Akagi, as long as you can lock down the basket, you’re locking up half of Shohoku.”
"Don't worry." Hanagata Toru said with a smile: "I have no intention of giving up the position of Kanagawa's number one center forward to him."
"The last one is No. 3. Shohoku's super rookie Rukawa Kaede. Judging from his actions, his strength is indeed not inferior to that of Lingnan's Immortal from last year, and his desire to win is much stronger than that of Immortal. He is indeed a difficult guy, but …”
Tengzhen laughed as he spoke. He looked at Lin Dong with no intention of explaining anything else.
"He is your prey. After this battle, I believe the whole of Kanagawa will know who is the real super rookie this year!"
"Okay, let's train." Fujima said with a smile: "Tactically, we should pay attention to our opponents, and strategically, we should despise our opponents. Just keep a normal mind. Xiangbei is not our obstacle. With Lin Dongjun, I don't even think Hainan will be able to do it." Now our goal, Xiangyang’s goal this year is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire Xiangyang team started to cheer and shout, "Beat the mountain king and dominate the country!"
