NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Monday, June 6, a school day.

"Amu, this is incredible, look at this!"

Early in the morning, Kiyota Nobunaga ran to Amu's classroom and shouted.

Fortunately, morning reading had not started yet, otherwise Kiyota Nobunaga's recklessness would probably have led to him being kicked out of the classroom by the teacher.

Amu took the thing handed over by Kiyota Nobunaga, which turned out to be a weekly newspaper of a basketball magazine. The headline "No more constant victories, Hainan's first defeat in 17 years!" was extremely eye-catching.

After reading the newspaper, Mu Shenyi said calmly:

"We Hainan did lose to Xiangbei yesterday. This is a fact. As for what the newspaper said about not being able to enter the national competition, that may not be true!"

"Qingtian, you don't have to care too much about other people's eyes. You have to train well from now on. We must win the match against Ryonan next week! This is the only chance, understand?"

"Yes! Ah Mu, I'll go train now."

Watching Kiyota Nobunaga rushing to the gymnasium, Amu stood there in a daze for a long while before he spoke:

"Hey, it's still morning and we still have classes!"

On the other hand, the basketball team of Kanagawa Shohoku Public High School became completely famous.

The last time they defeated the county's seeded team Xiangyang in the regional preliminaries and made it to the county's top four, they had already attracted the attention and attention of the school leaders. Unexpectedly, this time they even defeated Hainan. The Xiangbei basketball team became completely famous.

Early in the morning, the members of the basketball team met by chance at the school gate.

Kogure Konobu yawned and said to Akagi as he walked:

"I never dreamed that we would beat Hainan. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night."

Akagi pretended to be proud and said:

"I said we want to dominate the whole country, so defeating Hainan is certainly a piece of cake!"

Mu Mu adjusted his glasses and then changed the subject:

"By the way, Rukawa and Hanamichi have made great contributions to defeating Kainan. I just wonder how Hanamichi's foot is doing! Will it affect the upcoming game against Ryonan?"

"Hey, Brother Glasses, good morning! And Captain, hey! With such big dark circles under your eyes, you must be so excited that you couldn't sleep all night!"

Accompanied by the Sakuragi Army, Hanamichi was leaning on a crutch and pointed at Akagi's eyes with a grin.

"Hanamichi! What are you doing?"

Murasakibara walked forward and asked worriedly. Akagi didn't pay attention to Hanamichi's teasing, but stared at Hanamichi's legs.

Just as Hanamichi was about to explain, Miyagi arrived with a shoulder bag on his head and Mitsui with his hands in his pockets.

The two men looked at Hanamichi, who was bandaged and leaning on a crutch, and came over.

"Ding-ling!"

"not good".

Hanamichi hurriedly dropped his crutches and jumped to the side. Rukawa Kaede, riding a small pink bicycle, narrowly passed over the place where Hanamichi had just stood.

"Damn it, Rukawa Kaede, you sleepyhead! Blowing snot bubbles while riding a bike so early in the morning could get someone killed!"

Then, Rukawa Kaede's cheerleaders x appeared, stood in front of Hanamichi and argued with him righteously.

Such a lively scene at the school gate instantly attracted the attention of students in the teaching building.

"Hey! All the main players of the basketball team are here!"

"Akagi, you actually defeated Hainan this time, you are amazing!"

"You have to keep working hard, Xiaosan. You must make it to the national competition this time."

"I didn't expect Gong Cheng to be so powerful. His breakthrough was like lightning!"

"Hanmichi, have you grown taller again? Next time, do more dunks for us to see."

"Rukawa~Rukawa~LOVE~Rukawa..."

In the principal's office in the teaching building, Principal Uchimura looked at the lively scene at the school gate and the thriving cohesion shown through the students' conversations. He then looked at Coach Anxi on the sofa, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Teacher Anxi, I agree to both of your requests! I also hope that you can continue to lead the Xiangbei basketball team to further progress!"

“Ohhh! No problem. Then Uchimura, I won’t disturb you from working. Ohhh…”

Coach Anxi walked out of the principal's office.

Coach Anxi had nothing else to say on this trip, except for two requests for the basketball team:

The first request is: the Xiangbei basketball team has achieved good results and will likely continue to advance to the national level. In view of this, we hope that the school cafeteria can reduce the basketball players' food expenses until the national competition, and provide them with special nutritious meals.

Principal Uchimura agreed to this without hesitation.

Once this precedent is set, coaches from other clubs, such as judo clubs and kendo clubs, will come to us.

But there is no way. Basketball is a very popular sport, and the progress of the Xiangbei basketball team this year is indeed obvious to all. Next, it depends on them to enter the national competition to expand the school's reputation and attract enrollment.

With more students, the government will provide more subsidies and tuition fees. Compared with these, the cost of the dozen or so nutritious meals for the Xiangbei basketball team is nothing.

As for the second requirement, if Xiangbei enters the national competition, then from this holiday until the end of the national competition, all expenses related to basketball activities of their Xiangbei basketball team will be borne by the school.

This request is a bit difficult. After all, according to Coach Anxi's intention, he will have to go out and play friendly matches with high school basketball teams in other counties during the holidays. Add to that the expenses of the national competition, and it will be a considerable expense.

However, when Principal Uchimura saw such a lively scene at the school gate, he thought about it and gritted his teeth and agreed.

After all, if they really make it to the national competition and become famous, it will be of great benefit to expanding the reputation of Xiangbei High School across the country.

This is because public schools are not as luxurious as private schools, otherwise Coach Anxi would be able to ask all the main players of the basketball team to apply for full scholarships.

"Next, don't be lazy!"

Coach Anxi muttered to himself as he walked towards the gym.

……

After class in the afternoon.

"Bang! Snap, swish!..." The sound of basketball hitting the target came from the gymnasium.

"Who is the one?"

Hanamichi curiously pushed the door open and saw two figures, one thin and one fat. It turned out to be Miyagi Ryouta taking a mid-range shot outside the restricted area, while Coach Anzai was patiently instructing him:

"To shoot, you need to form fixed memories and use your legs to generate power. Miyagi, there is no big problem with your posture. The key is that the height of your jump and the timing of your shot are not combined together."

"When you jump to a certain height and shoot the ball uncontrollably, your shortcomings will be made up!"

"Oh, don't worry about overtraining. I've already asked the principal to provide all three meals a day at school with standard basketball player nutrition meals. They're free!"

"Hmm? Hanamichi-san is here! Come over here and help Miyagi-san pick up the balls. I'll teach you how to make up for your shortcomings after you make it to the national competition."

Hanamichi then ran over happily to pick up the ball. It was the first time he saw Coach Anxi speak so many words in one breath.

It seems that Coach Anxi has been stimulated by something and has stopped slacking off! However, the school actually provides them with free nutritious meals, which is good news.

Hanamichi suspected that one of the reasons why he did not grow rapidly during puberty was because of malnutrition.

There is no other way. How can I get enough nutrition if I always eat ramen? As for the money problem, I will solve it during the 94 World Cup!

In this way, as more and more people came to the basketball team, those who trained under the guidance of Coach Anxi became more and more serious.

The boastful atmosphere that the victory over Hainan brought to the Xiangbei basketball team was completely gone, and only the players continued to make up for their own shortcomings.

In addition to flower arrangement.

This is not because Coach Anzai is biased. Compared with Akagi's single offensive means, Mitsui and Rukawa's physical defects, and Miyagi's jump shot, Hanamichi does not have any obvious shortcomings.

As for mid-range jump shots, since there are games against Buri and Ryonan this weekend, letting Hanamichi practice at this time will affect his feel and strength.

So there is no need to rush, the best time to practice is actually the next summer vacation.

This is also the reason why NBA players often practice their skills hard during the offseason to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As a former national player, Coach Anxi still understands common sense!
