Chapter 72 Mitsui, you have to work hard

After telling Akagi, Mumu, and Miyagi not to forget to practice during the holidays, Shen Long left Mitsui alone, "Mitsui, how do you plan to spend your vacation?"

"I feel that I have almost recovered, and I want to use my vacation time to increase my training volume." Mitsui Hisashi said breathlessly. He now regrets that he wasted two years. Every minute before the competition starts is precious.

"Then, if it's convenient, you can come and stay at my house during the holidays. I can continue to supervise your training. Practicing alone without guidance is prone to problems." Now that Mitsui has recovered, special training can begin.

"Okay, no problem, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Mitsui bowed at another ninety degrees.

Mitsui Hisashi went home to pick up some daily necessities, and went to coach Anxi's house early the next morning. Coach Anxi's house is quite big, so having more Mitsui Hisashi would not affect him at all.

Mrs. Anxi brought a nutritious breakfast to Mitsui, which was specially prepared for him according to Shen Long's instructions. The formula was provided by Coach Ma Bo. It is said that it is a high-tech formula from a famous American high school basketball school, and it is absolutely nutritious.

"Let's start after breakfast. You have to be prepared to endure hardships." Since Mitsui Hisashi's training focuses on physical fitness, Shen Long is ready to use Kame Sennin's extreme training method.

"As long as I can make up for the time lost in the past, I am willing to endure any hardship." Mitsui Shou ate breakfast in a hurry and started training with Shen Long. Shen Long drove slowly behind Mitsui Shou in the car and started the first session. A training exercise, a ten-kilometer jog along the Shonan coast.

After running for five kilometers, Mitsui Hisashi began to pant. Shen Long stuck his head out of the car window and shouted loudly, "Isn't this enough? How can you lead Xiangbei to defeat Mu Shenyi, Fujima and Immortal Dao? Entering the national competition? Aren’t you trying to make up for the regrets of the past two years? Is this what it’s like?”

"Coach, I can do it!" Mitsui Shou gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again.

After three kilometers, my steps were getting more and more shaky. My lungs were burning and it felt like they were burning. Why don't I stop and rest for a while? As soon as this thought came to my mind, Mitsui Shou's mind flashed to the scene on the rooftop that day. The situation, no, it can't be like this, I have already disappointed Coach Anxi once, I can't let him down again this time!

With a pop, Mitsui Shou fell to the ground, but the ten-kilometer exercise had been completed. Shen Long got out of the car, opened a specially prepared sports drink and handed it to Mitsui Shou, "Here, take a couple of sips to add some salt, and then I'll give it to you. Massage recovery.”

Mitsui Shou took a few sips and lay down on the mat handed over by Shen Long to receive the massage. After a period of unbearable pain, Mitsui Shou regained some strength.

"Next, let's jump back to Shohoku High School from here." Recalling the scene of training with Kame Sennin in the past, it seems like it was yesterday. Unexpectedly, now I am supervising the training of others.

"Let's jump back to school from here!" Mitsui Shou Kuang sweated, it must be at least two kilometers, right?

"That's right, if you want to make up for the time wasted in the past, you have to work harder than others." Shen Long showed no mercy at all.

Leapfrog returned to school, and then ran back and forth several times around the trees around the stadium. Shen Long massaged Mitsui Hisashi again, especially his injured knee, and let him rest for a while before starting the next one. The first training - three-point shooting training, this is Mitsui Hisashi's trump card, you must not relax, "Next, I will pass the ball to you, you will shoot immediately after catching the ball, and it will end after hitting a thousand three-pointers."

"Coach, I'll do it myself." Mitsui Shou said quickly because he was afraid of tiring Shen Long.

"This training is not just about three-pointers. Catching and running are equally important. You can't train by yourself. Don't worry, I will stop when I get tired." Shen Long's physical strength is much better than that of Coach Anxi. Now, don’t worry about being tired.

"Top of the arc!" Shen Long called out the direction. Mitsui Hisashi ran quickly, and the ball came over as soon as he reached the position. Mitsui Hisashi caught the ball, bent his knees, lifted it up, and shot. The action was all in one go. The basketball went hollow into the net, and Mitsui Hisashi's three-pointer Ability is innate and has not been forgotten even after two years of neglect.

"The right bottom corner...the left 45-degree angle...the left bottom corner..." Following Shen Long's shouts, Mitsui Hisashi ran quickly on the court, taking shots and hitting them again and again.

Take a break every time you hit 100 three-pointers. During the fifth training session, Shen Long’s speed and position of passing the ball changed. Mitsui Hisashi was becoming more and more uncomfortable catching the ball. This was not because Shen Long was physically unable to keep up. It was done deliberately.

"Forty-five-degree angle to the right!" This time the pass was a bit big. Hisashi Mitsui ran to a position one meter away from the three-point line to receive it, and then took a step forward before shooting.

"Stop! Mitsui, why are you taking a step forward!" Shen Long stopped the training.

"Because...because it's still a little far away from the three-point line." Mitsui Hisashi explained breathlessly.

"Don't you have the confidence to hit in this position?" Shen Long asked, "Opportunities on the field are fleeting. The time you take one step forward is enough time for the defensive players to close up. One is a defensive shot at a close point, and the other is a defensive shot at a close point. It’s an open shot that’s a little further away. Do you think that option has a higher hit rate?”

"An open shot from a little further away." Mitsui realized something.

In this era, the thinking of players is still relatively conservative. Three-pointers like Curry who throw blindly have not yet appeared. However, this does not mean that Mitsui Hisashi does not have the ability to make super long three-pointers. In the original work, Kamizou Ichiro showed Having mastered this technology, I believe Mitsui Toshiya can do it.

"Long-range three-pointers can not only provide easier shooting space, but also put more pressure on the opponent and open up the defensive space. When the opponent's defensive zone expands beyond the three-point line, the inside line will become weak. At that time Akagi's opportunity has come." Shen Long explained, "Mitsui, forget the existence of the three-point line, you can take action wherever you are confident."

"Coach, I understand!" Mitsui took two steps back and took a shot. The basketball knocked twice on the rim and rolled down the net. Those words just now opened a new door for him, and his vision became wider. stand up.

At noon, Anxi Fried Chicken Restaurant brought them takeout. Shen Long himself ate delicious fried chicken. For athletes, excessive intake of fat and salt is not good. Mitsui Hisashi only had boiled chicken breast. Poor Mitsui Hisashi looked at the fried chicken with envy. Coach, I want to eat fried chicken.

The three-point shooting ended with basic steps and running exercises, and the training didn't end until before dinner.

After dinner, the next training begins again.

"Ah, coach, does studying also count as special training?" Mitsui's head got bigger when he saw the book.
