" Everyone gather!!"
As the captain Murasame Kengo roared, all the new and old players in the basketball court gathered in front of him.
The freshmen stood in a row, while the older members stood opposite them.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Murasame Kengo returned to his position. Everyone waited for Coach Harada to speak.
"Cough cough!"
Coach Harada was quite satisfied with the 20 young people standing in front of him.
This group of people was the guarantee that his career would soar this year!
"New students, I'm very happy that you've chosen to join our Miura High School basketball club. Whether it was out of interest or if you wanted to go further on the road of basketball, this place could satisfy you.”
Miuradai High School had a basketball club and a basketball team. Many larger private schools, such as Xiangyang and Hainan, had such plans.
Needless to say, the basketball team was a team that represented the school in all kinds of official competitions and fought for the honor of the school and individuals. A basketball team had a rotation of at least 12 people, and a maximum of 15 people could enter the big list.
The basketball club was a club for students who were eliminated from the basketball team because they could not meet the various requirements, but who really liked basketball.
The basketball team had a fixed training time every day. The coach would also formulate a variety of training plans and enjoy the most resources and care, even a scholarship.
On the other hand, the basketball club was purely for playing basketball as a hobby. If you were happy today, you could come. If you were busy tomorrow, you could skip it. It was very suitable for those who simply wanted to use basketball as a sport to strengthen their bodies or pick up girls.
Moreover, when the basketball team had situations such as transferring schools, dropping out of school, suddenly not wanting to play, injuries, and so on, the coach would also transfer members from the basketball department to fill the vacancy.
According to the rules, the basketball team could only have a maximum of fifteen people on the roster, and the basketball club could have as many people as they wanted.
As for how many of the freshmen would be officially selected to join the basketball team, and how many of them could only play happy basketball in the basketball club, it would depend on their performance in the upcoming assessment.
The seniors of the second and third years were not all safe. After all, if the first-year students performed too well, the coach would send them to the basketball club.
Therefore, every spring semester, the basketball teams of all the famous universities in the county would welcome a big change of blood. This also allowed the excitement of the county meeting to continue.
Coach Harada's speech lasted only ten minutes, and then the official selection ceremony began.
To Wu Yufei, this ceremony was just a formality. After completing all the tests, Wu Yufei took a basketball and walked to the basketball hoop in the corner to practice shooting.
Weekly Mission:
[Strengthened shooting: 500 mid-range shots and 200 three-pointers must be completed every day for the next week.]
Current mission completion status:
[Mid: 220/500]
Three-pointer: 98/200
[Number of Completions: 0/7]
[Mission Reward: Mid-throw attribute 0.5, Three-pointer attribute 0.5.]
After all, it was only a weekly mission. Compared to the main mission and the sudden side mission, the reward was indeed a little poor. However, no matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. Moreover, even without the motivation of the mission, Wu Yufei would consciously practice shooting. Now that there was a mission reward, the motivation to practice was naturally greater.
By the time Wu Yufei had thrown more than three hundred mid-range shots, everyone else's first round of testing had ended. Next was the group competition.
Wu Yufei and Jun Ishiyama were assigned to the red team, leading the other three first-year students to fight against the other five.
Originally, with Wu Yufei, the Red Team was already certain to win. Now that there was the addition of Ishiyama Chun, whose strength was not ordinary, the Red Team's strength naturally far exceeded the Blue Team's.
Although Jun Ishiyama was only 180 centimeters tall, he was an expert at mid-range and long-range shooting. His positioning skills were also quite exquisite. He shook off his opponent and ran out of the empty space. Then, after receiving Wu Yufei's pass, he fired without hesitation.
Less than five minutes into the game, Jun Ishiyama scored 12 points on five out of seven shots, while Wu Yufei steadily got eight assists and was replaced by Coach Harada on the sidelines.
This was probably what he meant by going through the motions.
At 6:30 in the evening, the other clubs had already finished their activities for the day and returned to their homes. The basketball stadium was still brightly lit.
All the first year students stood in a row once again, each of them sweating profusely.
Coach Harada looked at the roster in his hand with a gratified expression.
"I'm very happy that all of you have persisted until now. Other than the three people who left halfway, there are already three people who have been selected by me to be officially selected for the basketball team. Now, those who have read out their names, step forward.”
Everyone pricked up their ears. After a few hours of desperate performance in the afternoon, no one was willing to be told that they were regretfully not selected at this last moment.
Coach Harada cleared his throat and began to read out the names that he had ticked off on the roster.
"Wu Yufei!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Shi Shanchun!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Ohno Izumi!"
"Here!"
Wu Yufei, Jun Ishiyama, and Izumi Ohno walked out of the formation. As for the remaining twelve people, they all revealed regretful and unwilling expressions.
"You don't have to show such an expression. I haven't finished my assessment of you. Just because I've called your names doesn't mean that you'll definitely be able to enter the school team.”
After Harada comforted them with a few words, he announced that today's training was over and everyone was dismissed.
Of course, Wu Yufei would not go back so early, so he picked up his basketball again and went to the basket in the corner to practice.
There were a total of three people who were selected to be the coaches of Harada today. Needless to say, Wu Yufei was already the main point guard of Miura Station. On the other hand, Ishiyama Jun was selected by Coach Harada through his excellent accuracy in the match and shooting practice.
Indeed, Jun Ishiyama's height could only be considered average among this batch of freshmen. His physique was not strong, but his speed was not bad. His positioning skills were very good, and his shooting skills were very decisive. With a little training, he would become a very good shooter.
As for the third player, Ichiteru Ohno, he was a very strong player in the paint. He was 190 centimeters tall and weighed 90 kilograms. In the match, he had suppressed his opponents and grabbed the rebound many times.
In Coach Harada's plan, after the end of the year, when Akio Kawasaki retired, this person could become a strong substitute for the inside line.
A point guard, a point guard, and a center/big front. Coach Harada had a good harvest today.
Wu Yufei didn't leave the arena until almost nine o'clock at night.
He had already completed the task requirements, and Wu Yufei had consciously added more practice.
Anyway, her father was a workaholic. There was nothing to do at home. She might as well stay in the stadium and practice.
