Slam Dunk Construction

Chapter 17 Training Interlude
After defeating the old opponent Lingnan, everyone is in a good mood.However, there is still more than a month before the opening of the county competition. At this time, we must train well and improve ourselves.

On this day, Coach Anxi sat on the sidelines and watched everyone's training.At present, it is a free team training. Of course, it is a free team training, and it will not be a point guard and a center forward. This kind of unreliable training can't do anything. Players with similar styles are practicing with each other. , or we are playing a three-on-three half-court game.

As for the after-school training time, Xiangbei also has strict regulations. As a player practice game, it cannot be played every day, which will delay the special practice time. (If you’re not a professional player, you’re just so pitiful.) At most three team practice matches a week are played, and everyone strictly follows this. Generally, Xiangbei only has two team practice matches a week.

This is enough, firstly, to enhance everyone's basketball enthusiasm, secondly, to deepen the familiarity between the players, and thirdly, to let everyone practice more points, these are enough.Today is just right, after the free training, there will be an in-team practice match.

As a high school coach, our coach Anxi is quite relaxed, as long as he gives guidance when necessary, it is enough to pretend to be deep and give everyone confidence.

The free practice here in Xiangbei is a bit rough, usually one group of insiders and one group of outsiders.Now after coach Anxi's intervention, there is an additional practice at the position of small forward, which is mainly the sparring between Shibata and Sha Cang.These two have one offense and one defense, and the effect of sparring is also good.

Among the outside players, Mitsui is always the most dazzling one. His shooting, breakthrough and dribbling are all very good.However, this one has obvious passing problems, and the others are flawless. For a freshman, this one is also very good.

Another outsider Mu Mu in the first grade is also practicing hard. He mainly shoots.Brother Glasses is born with a big heart, and his projection ability is also practiced very well.

The biggest problem with this Shonhoku outside line is point guard. Echizen is qualified, but there is no substitute, Hojo is too weak, and Mitsui doesn't know how to give his teammates opportunities. This is very difficult.

Akagi's practice on the inside is also very hard. The gorilla's efforts are unimaginable. This guy's basic practice, shooting under the basket, post-up singles, blocking, and rebounding are all very good.Recently, Akagi has also started to work hard on free throws. In the last practice match, he only made two of seven free throws. This also sounded the alarm for him.

Originally, Akagi didn't like free throws, because Kitamura Junior High School is really a good junior high school, and the point guard is just a big eater. Akagi doesn't even have a chance to play singles. How could there be any chance of free throws?

The last game made him see the need for free throws, and Akagi also began to work hard on free throws.Of course, this progress is slow, Akagi's hand feel is very ordinary, but Akagi is still working hard, and this sweat still shed a few baskets.

There is also Horita, whose basic skills are solid, better than Akagi.It is limited by the body, and he does not have the heart of a strong man, so everyone can see that Hota can only be used as an inside support.

Today's team training game was played very well. It's not about how everyone is improving or how well they played, but that Coach Anxi saw a lot of different things.After the training, Coach Anxi left the first-year group of five alone, and Coach Anxi had something to say.

These five are very happy, after all, it feels good for an idol to find them.Coach Anxi didn't take it too seriously. He first said to Sha Cang: "Student Sha Cang, I think your defense has improved recently, but why is your offense so hesitant? Not decisive at all?"

Sha Cang listened to him and said: "Teacher, my defense improvement is thanks to Senior Shibata. His attack is great, so my defense is much stronger. As for offense, I don't know how to attack. It’s easy to block shots, but not flexible enough to break through, it’s really hard.”

Coach Anxi heard this, and he said with a smile: "Student Sha Cang, I think you have too much burden. Your defense should be the best among first-year rookies, so you should develop three-point ability. Don't think Small forwards only need to shoot three-pointers, you are a defensive small forward, you need three-pointers, this will open up more space for your teammates, and make it easier for you to play better.”

Sha Cang was very happy when he heard this, but he is not stupid, he knows that the basketball court is so big, how can he have the time to connect all the three-pointers?It's only been a month.

So Sha Cang asked: "Teacher, the three-point shot is really good, but it is impossible to practice this without more than a year! We are about to compete, and there is not so much time to practice this." This is also a The problem is that Sha Cang's three-pointers are mediocre, and he doesn't have Mitsui's incredible touch talent.

Coach Anxi also smiled and said: "Student Sha Cang, of course it is not a day's work to practice three-pointers. But as a small forward, you only need to practice two zero-degree angles. You can try it first. How do you feel? Well, let’s practice one first.” This idea is good, Sha Cang nodded.

Coach Anxi then said to Mu Mu: "Student Mu Mu, I think you have a good mentality, and you handled the key shots very well in the end. Your suitable route should be shooting. You should work hard to practice this." Mu Mu also nodded, brother glasses There's nothing wrong with a high basketball IQ.

Coach Anxi looked at Akagi again: "Student Akagi, you seem to be working hard recently, and you seem to have made a lot of progress." This is also true. Although Akagi is not as talented as Sakuragi, his talent is quite good of.

Akagi's big black face also burst into a smile: "Teacher, after the practice game, I found that free throws are very useful, so I am practicing this thing recently. And teacher, I am currently practicing a post-up singles under the basket. This It feels a bit single-handed, Captain Ishimoto..."

People are all the same, if there is a comparison, there will be a change. Ishimoto has many inside offensive methods, and he is not willing to play singles with his back. This naturally makes Akagi a little confused.

Coach Anxi nodded and said, "Ishimoto-san is indeed rich in offensive methods, but Akagi-san, who is stronger between you and Ishimoto-san?" This question seems to be a bit off-topic, right?Akagi was a little puzzled.

But Akagi is quite honest, he replied directly without thinking too much: "Teacher, I am definitely not better than the captain, but in terms of strength, I think I am no worse than him." He's still pretty humble.

Coach Anxi nodded: "That's it, Akagi-san. Ishimoto-san doesn't have the ability to dominate the basket, so he needs to use multiple offensive methods to make up for it. But you are different, you have this potential. Inside offense and defense, the foundation is the most important, This year you are laying the foundations, if you practice hard, you should be able to practice other attack methods by the time of the Winter Split."

Coach Anxi also looked at Akagi's state, and was a little eager to try.He also went on to say: "Of course, whether you can add other practice methods in winter depends on how hard you work, Akagi-san. If your progress fails to meet expectations, then I'm afraid..."

Needless to say, these are enough.Akagi immediately slapped his chest loudly and assured Coach Anxi that he would train hard.The current post-up singles, blocking, rebounding, shooting under the basket and free throws are all problems that Akagi must work hard to solve.

In the end, Coach Anxi looked at Mitsui and Hota, the couple he wanted to talk about the most.
