Chapter 163 Why does Xiangyang have five places?

Center: Uozumi (Lingnan), Masao Watanabe (Buri), Kazuhiro Ikeda (Hainan)

Power forward: Taro Aso (Shoyo), Masayasu Watanabe (Buri), Toru Hanagata (Shoyo)

Small forward: Takamiya Motou (Hainan), Matsushima Ichito (Shouyang), Ikegami Ryoji (Reyonan)

Sub-guard: Yusaku Ozawa (Lingnan), Hisashi Mitsui (Shohoku), Yuya Kimura (Shoyo)

Point guard: Shinichi Maki (Hainan), Kenji Fujima (Shoyo), Koichiro Nohara (Buri)

Looking at the names on the list, Ozawa Yusaku calculated carefully and discovered a problem.

"That's wrong, why did Xiangyang have five people selected, but as the county competition champions, we only have three!"

"I'm afraid it's my fault! If I am appointed as coach, I will definitely lean towards my own players like Coach Kaneda."

Coach Tian Gang shook his head, this is a difficult question.

No matter who is chosen as the coach, he will definitely favor his own players. This is a very common phenomenon.

This is the so-called right to expire without expiration.

In this list, in addition to Xiangyang, which occupies five places, Lingnan, Hainan and Buri each occupy three places, and the last place is snatched by Xiangbei.

Poor Takenori Akagi, even though Uozumi thought his strength had reached or even surpassed Kazuhiro Ikeda, he still wasn't selected.

The reason is also very simple. Takenori Akagi's performance in the prefectural competition is the same as Kazuhiro Ikeda's, but his reputation and influence are far behind.

As for why Mitsui Hisashi was selected, it is mainly because "Basketball Weekly" ranked Mitsui Hisashi with Uozumi, Maki Shinichi, and Fujima Kenji.

If Mitsui Hisako is eliminated, it may cause twists and turns, not to mention that coach Kaneda is very aware of Mitsui Hisako's strength. In that prefecture competition, Mitsui Hisako and Fujima Kenji were at odds with each other.

Finally, Hisashi Mitsui is also a marksman who can increase his tactical options, which is probably the main reason why Ikegami was selected.

As the champion of the county competition and one of the top four in the country, Lingnan is jokingly called a 'one-man team' by many people, but it still has to be given three places, otherwise it won't make sense.

Since the other positions are all made up of established players or Xiangyang players, there is only one vacancy at small forward.

Coach Kaneda considered that Ikegami had good defense and was good at three-point shooting, which might be helpful to the team, so he chose Ikegami.

Of course, this is also related to Ikegami's performance in the national competition.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you have to gather at Xiangyang Basketball Hall. Remember not to be late, otherwise you will be disqualified."

With half a month left before the start of the school year, coach Kaneda decided to call the players in advance in order to adjust the lineup.

In addition, he heard that Aichi Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture and other strong prefectures had already taken the lead in adjusting their lineups, and he was anxious and did not want to fall behind them.

He knows very well that if he wants to achieve good results, in addition to the players being good enough, the team's integration is also a problem.

In this aspect, the Akita Prefecture team is undoubtedly ahead of all teams.

There is no way, the Akita Prefecture representative team's players are all composed of Sanno Industrial players, and their coordination is naturally far superior to other representative teams that are like a ball of loose sand kneaded together.

No one can deny this.

Akita Prefecture has a strong lineup of players who work well together and are recognized as favorites to win the championship.

As for Kanagawa Prefecture, although the player lineup is not inferior, it is currently a mess with no tacit understanding at all. It is not known how well the lineup can be integrated when the Autumn National Sports Competition begins.

Coach Kaneda knows very well that it is urgent to adjust the lineup and there can be no delay at all.

"Let's go there together at eight o'clock tomorrow!"

Uozumi discussed with the two of them and found out that Xiangyang University is not far from Lingnan University, only a twenty-minute walk.

Coach Tian Gang didn't stay long and chose to leave.

The three of Uozumi continued to train, and Ozawa Yusaku began to teach some of his dribbling skills to others. As for whether they will be useful to Uozumi, it is hard to say.

What Ozawa Yusaku didn't know was that Uozumi could test the effects of these techniques based on the decimal point changes on the data panel.

With effective techniques, the decimal points on the data panel will naturally grow faster, and vice versa.

When the team was disbanded, Uozumi initially memorized a few dribbling skills that were more suitable for him.

The next morning, the three of Uozumi arrived at Xiangyang University.

Xiangyang University covers a large area, slightly larger than Lingnan, and has complete facilities. Since it is still summer vacation, the campus seems very empty, and few pedestrians are seen.

Not long after, Uozumi and others walked into Xiangyang Basketball Stadium with ease.

Since the end of the county competition, Lingnan and Xiangyang have often competed with each other, and Yuzhu is naturally familiar with Xiangyang.

As soon as he entered the basketball gym, Yuzhu saw a familiar figure.

Mitsui Hisashi!

At this time, he was practicing three-pointers. Judging from the sweat stains on his face, he must have been there for a while.

When he heard the footsteps, Mitsui stopped and turned to look at the door.

"Morning, Mitsui!"

Uozumi and others greeted Mitsui one after another.

Mitsui picked up a towel from his seat and complained while wiping his sweat: "You guys came too late. I almost made a hundred three-pointers."

Faced with Mitsui's complaint, Uozumi couldn't help but said jokingly: "You guys are so nervous that you can't sleep, so you come here so early."

"No way, I'm not Akagi!"

Mitsui's eyes dodge and he refuses to admit it.

Chishang looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Where are the others!"

"They haven't come yet."

"That's weird, then who opened the door for you?"

"Fujima!"

"What about others?"

"Going for a morning run!"

At this time, Ozawa Yusaku suddenly said: "No, as Xiangyang is the host, they have to arrive before us."

Chishang said mysteriously: "I heard that Xiangyang is now split into three major camps."

"Appreciate further details!"

"One is the reformist group headed by Fujima, mainly freshmen; the other is the conservative group headed by Coach Kaneda, mainly old students; and the rest are neutral groups."

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"During the summer vacation, I took on the job of delivering newspapers again. A few days ago, I delivered newspapers to Takano's house. The guy was staying with Hasegawa and Nagano. I happened to hear their conversation at the time. These three guys were very interested.

Support Fujima."

Due to family poverty, Ikegami started working part-time during the summer vacation in order to ease the family burden.

"The conflict between them may have further intensified, which may cause setbacks for the next Autumn National Sports Competition."

“Nervous!”

Uozumi muttered: "Why do you think so much? No matter what, it's not our team!"

"That makes sense!"

"Don't waste time, hurry up and train!"

Uozumi and others gossiped for a while and then started training.

Not long after, the players selected for the Kanagawa representative team entered the basketball gym one after another.

When it was almost time to gather, Coach Kaneda finally arrived and started taking roll call.

"Why aren't Kazuhiro Ikeda from Hainan Affiliated High School here?"

Coach Kaneda frowned and seemed to be in a very bad mood. When asking questions, his eyes fell on Mu Shinichi and Takamiya Motoyu.
