After a week of basic training, Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was still practicing basketball on the sidelines, could not hold it in anymore. It was obvious from his irritated expression.
When the other players finished their warm-up exercises and were ready to practice, he stood up from the sidelines and wanted to rush up to play with everyone.
"You can't, Sakuragi. You haven't even learned the basics yet." You have to learn the basics before you can play with everyone!”
"But I've been learning for a week. I think I have no problem dribbling now. I can go up and show them my slam dunk skills.”
"Look at Uesugi-san. His dribbling is not bad, but he still practices basic training every day.”Cai Zi pointed at Ming Ye who was standing on the other side of her, and Ming Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Don't compare an idiot like him to a genius like me. You must know that I was already a genius who could defeat Captain Akamu before I even played basketball. He was the captain of our basketball club.”
As expected, this premonition came true very quickly. Ming Ye was a little unhappy. He suspected that he had been caught in the crossfire because he was too close to him. It seemed that it was better to stay away from him in the future.
"Who are you talking about, idiot!"
"Idiot, I'm talking to you!" Sakuragi replied in annoyance. He wanted to say something to Cai Zi, but Cai Zi burst out laughing. He immediately understood what was going on. He angrily said to Ming Ye," You bastard gigolo! You're playing with me! I'll teach you a lesson!"”
Seeing this, Caiko immediately stopped Sakuragi, who was about to go up and fight with Ming Ye. She changed the topic." Come, come, Sakuragi. Since you're familiar with dribbling, let's learn something else."”
Cai Zi held the ball and spun it around her body and legs. She explained," This can improve your ball-like nature. As long as you do it faster, it will show your understanding and familiarity with the ball. You can try it."”Then, he threw the ball to Sakuragi.
Ming Ye saw that Sakuragi was pulled to the side to study again, so he chose to stay away from him immediately to avoid being shot again.
As expected, the problem child Sakuragi Hanamichi caused trouble again in a short while. After spinning the ball at an astonishing speed, he wanted to rush onto the field to practice with everyone.
This time, Akagi stopped him and asked him to return to the field and continue practicing the basic training according to the method taught by Cai Zi. However, Sakuragi, who had long lost his patience, would not obediently do as he was asked. Thus, he started arguing with Akagi.
After a while, the two of them started fighting. Sakuragi first ate Redwood's leg, and then Redwood was knocked down by Sakuragi's head hammer, scaring everyone in the arena. Sakuragi, whose face was filled with unhappiness, left angrily.
While everyone was watching Sakuragi leave in shock, Mingye ran over to Akagi and tried to curry favor with him. He was secretly glad that he was wise enough to stay away from that guy. If Sakuragi was happy to beat him up, he would have beaten him up as well. It would not be fun.
"Captain Akagi, are you alright? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?”Ming Ye said as he helped Akagi up from the ground.
When they heard Ming Ye's words, everyone reacted and ran to Akagi's side to express their condolences.
Redwood glanced at Ming Ye and his impression of this guy improved. Shaking his head, which was still hurting a little, he said to the crowd," I'm fine. Don't worry about that guy just now. People like him who don't have perseverance should leave quickly. Alright, everyone, go back to training."”
After a while, the stadium resumed its usual training. When the soy sauce fans were ready to play against the seniors, Ming also came to their side and gave them some chicken soup for the soul. After some encouragement, he took the ball to the outside of the court and did basic training while watching their confrontation practice.
Although he had only taught them the pick-and-roll yesterday and had not practiced for long, they were still quite good at it.
The three first-year students were Kentaro Ishii, Ken Suzuki, and Jiro Kuwata. Sophomore students were Satoshi Kakuda, Yasuda Yasuharu, and Tsukishi Shiosaki.
The senior students gave the ball to the junior students. Kuwata, who was 162 centimeters tall, was in charge of the ball. The senior students saw that he did not break through the ball as he did last week. Instead, he signaled Ishii to help him block the ball. They all felt that it was interesting, so they also perked up.
The 180cm Kakuda was defending against the 172cm Ishii, so he followed. After Ishii blocked Yasuda, Kuwata immediately went over to Ishii's side. The big guy, Kakuda, came over to defend Kuwata, and Kuwata passed the ball to Ishii, who ran directly to the penalty area after blocking Yasuda.
Yasuda, who was blocked, did not have time to keep up with Ishii's pace. Even if he could keep up, the difference in height was obvious, and he was not a threat to Ishii. Shiosaki did not dare to let Suzuki defend against Ishii under the basket. Therefore, Ishii made a quick jump shot from the penalty area.
The first goal was so easy that it made the first few first-years excited.
When the offense and defense switched, it was the upperclassmen's turn to attack. However, the upperclassmen's style of play was much simpler. When Yasuda saw that he could not get rid of Kuwata, he directly passed the ball to the tallest person under the basket, Kakuda. Kakuda took advantage of the fact that he was taller than Ishii and directly turned around to shoot, returning a ball.
Once again, it was the first year's offense. It was still Kuwata who controlled the ball, and Ishii who came over to pick and roll. The difference was that the second year was already prepared, but unfortunately, they did not communicate well. Ishii ran under the basket, and the two defenders chased after Ishii. Kuwata, who was left with the ball, was left undefended. Kuwata did not stand on ceremony and directly shot a mid-range shot. Unfortunately, it did not go in.
Fortunately, the ball was picked up by Suzuki, so he reorganized the attack. Ishii came over again. Shiosaki thought that they were going to pick and roll again, so he slowed down his pace while defending, planning to switch to Ishii. In the end, Ishii only feigned a shot and took away Kakuda, who was defending against him, while he was cleanly bypassed by Suzuki.
Suzuki and Kuwata, who had rushed to the basket, formed a two-on-one. Things were much simpler. After fooling Yasuda, who was defending, into jumping up, he passed the ball to Kuwata, who was undefended under the basket. The latter easily scored on a layup.
It was the upperclassmen's turn to attack again. The one who took the ball was Shiozaki. Shiozaki was more than 170 centimeters tall. He did not even have to think about facing the short Suzuki. He directly crushed the ball to the basket. Then, after Ishii came up to help defend, he passed the ball to Kakuda. The latter easily scored a layup.
The juniors attacked, while the seniors changed their defense. The tall Shiosaki went to defend Kuwata. It was already a big fight against a small one after the juniors 'pick-and-roll. However, Kuwata passed the ball to Suzuki when he saw Shiosaki coming over. Then Ishii went to Suzuki to do a pick-and-roll. In the end, it was still a big fight against a small one. Faced with the fighting style of the lower grades, the upper grades had no choice.
Seeing this, Ming also felt that there was nothing else to see. The offense problem was solved, but the defense of the soy sauce party was still not good enough. However, he couldn't be bothered to worry about this. He wasn't a coach, so he walked away with the basketball.
"Their cooperation is not bad! He did not expect that even a simple pick-and-roll could be played with by Ming. With such a mind, if he also liked to play, he should be a good player.”Mu Mu sighed.
"By replying to the letter, I'm trying to get business for my family. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't know! She was quite smart. But how could he make him pay attention to basketball? I think a person with his own opinions is much harder to deal with than Sakuragi.”Cai Zi felt a little regretful.
"He doesn't even want to participate in the internal training match, and we can't see how strong he is. Let nature take its course.”said Chi Mu.
"Are you really not going to call Sakuragi back? He was really good in all aspects, and his growth speed was quite shocking. Perhaps he could play as the main force in the qualifiers!”Mu Mu persuaded Chi Mu.
"Yeah, I've never seen anyone with such good physical conditions! It's just a little difficult to discipline." Cai said.
"What's the use of having a good body condition for that guy without perseverance? Don't mind him, let's continue practicing.”Redwood said as he walked away with the basketball. In fact, he really hoped that Sakuragi could come back. No one wanted to give up such a good piece of material!
Mu Mu and Cai Zi looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Then, they went back to their own work.
