In terms of training intensity, Lingnan team far surpasses Xiangbei, especially physical training, which may be difficult for beginners to adapt to.

In the original work, Uozumi just couldn't stand the physical training and had the idea of ​​quitting the team, but was finally persuaded by coach Taoka.

Now, naturally, this scene will never happen again, and Uozumi no longer has to kneel on the ground and say the depressing words "Coach, I don't want to fight!"

This sentence is in sharp contrast to Hisashi Mitsui's "Coach, I want to play basketball."

Coach Tian Gang treats everyone equally, and both the main players and the reserve players must receive the same training every day.

This is a hardship for the freshmen, who are not used to such intensity of training, and many of them quit the basketball team every day.

This is also the reason why the Lingnan team has far fewer alternative players than Hainan and Xiangyang.

Although many freshmen left the team, the strength of the Lingnan team has not declined. Even under high-intensity training, it can be described as a steady improvement.

By the way, due to early training, Ikegami's newspaper delivery work had to come to an end.

In order to maintain the intensity of Ikegami's training, Uozumi secretly told Coach Taoka about the incident and asked him to think of a solution.

Then, Coach Tian Gang successfully convinced the chairman of Lingnan University.

In the end, the school came forward and paid a meal supplement for Chishang, but it could only last for one semester.

If the pool performs poorly in the future, the meal supplement will be terminated.

Of course, not worrying about the shortage but the inequality, coach Tian Gang also applied for meal subsidies for other main players who performed well.

In addition, Coach Tianoka also applied for a batch of new sneakers, jerseys, socks, basketball bags and other basketball supplies in the name of the team, but only the regular players can enjoy them.

Since experiencing that intra-team competition, Uozumi has been fully recognized by his teammates, including Da Kumu who is in the same position as him.

Even though Uozumi took away his starting position, Da Kuzu did not complain. On the contrary, he was very happy for Uozumi's strength and believed that this year's Lingnan team had a chance to go further.

For the sake of the basketball team, Da Nan was willing to serve as a substitute without any complaints.

This is high school basketball!

However, there is one senior player who feels the pressure, and he is Sasaki Oribe.

Ikegami was taller and stronger than him, and his defense was better than him, and he trained harder. Sasaki Oribe felt a serious threat.

If this is not good, the starting position may be taken away by Ikegami.

Of course, Sasaki Oribe is not without his advantages. He shoots better, has plenty of physical strength, has rich game experience, and has a better understanding with his teammates.

With a strong sense of competition, Sasaki Oribe trained harder and stayed for extra training every day. As long as Ikegami didn't leave, he would not leave.

Regarding this situation, Coach Taoka is naturally happy to see the outcome. No matter who wins in the end, he will not lose.

However, his main focus is on Uozumi, providing him with the best training plan.

He is very aware of the shortcomings of the Lingnan team, which is the lack of players who can score steadily at critical moments.

Although Yusaku Ozawa is good, due to his physical condition, his performance at critical moments is not very good. Once he encounters high-intensity defense, his efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Top players can change the team at critical moments instead of being trapped by the team environment.

Obviously, Ozawa Yusaku is not a top player, but Uozumi is, not to mention he can see Uozumi's progress every day.

As for Ozawa Yusaku, it has been difficult to make major progress.

In the opinion of coach Tian Gang, Uozumi is the future of Lingnan team. Only when Uozumi becomes stronger can Lingnan team go further.

On the field, Inoue Toyoyoshi and Ohkusu Kouma are helping Uozumi train.

Uozumi's training programs mainly focus on footwork, blocking, defense and back-up play. Only by integrating these can his strength improve faster.

In addition, Yuzhu will also spend two or three hours every day exercising to further improve his physical fitness and enhance his internal deterrence.

In order to quickly improve the players' tacit understanding and teamwork, Coach Tianoka will arrange an intra-team competition every two days.

The difference is that coach Tian Gang did not divide the freshmen team and the old freshmen team, but conducted group confrontations in random situations and recorded the status of each player.

Time flies by very quickly, Saturday is here.

This day is also the day when Lingnan and Xiangbei have a friendly match.

Lingnan is relatively far from Shohoku High School. In the original book, the Shohoku team took the tram to Lingnan.

Of course, other means of transportation can also be used, such as the small donkeys ridden by the Sakuragi Legion.

Well, the picture of being overtaken by a child on a bicycle is so beautiful.

The Lingnan team did not take the train, but took the school bus to Shohoku High School.

This is also the benefit of being a private high school.

In less than an hour, we finally arrived at Shohoku High School.

"This is my first time coming to northern Hunan. The area seems to be no smaller than our Lingnan area."

After entering Shohoku High School, Ozawa Yusaku couldn't help but sigh.

Inoue Toyoyoshi looked around and said: "It's just that the facilities on campus are a bit poor."

Compared with Lingnan, the facilities in Xiangbei are indeed older.

"I wonder what the quality of girls in Xiangbei is like? What a pity, today is a weekend holiday."

Matsushita Asahi Ken's focus has always been on the opposite sex.

Suddenly, Sasaki Oribe suddenly spoke: "There are three girls behind us. The one in the middle is very cute."

The Lingnan players hurriedly turned their heads. Sure enough, there were indeed three girls behind them. The girl in the middle looked very pure and cute.

She was wearing a neat yet youthful school uniform, with a friendly smile on her face, her eyes as gentle as water, strong and bright.

Haruko Akagi!

Yuzhu recognized him at first sight.

Compared with Haruko Akagi two years later, Haruko Akagi now is obviously more immature, but still exudes amazing charm.

As for the two people around Haruko, they are still Fujii and Matsui. They are still students of No. 4 Middle School and will have to wait two more years to enroll in Shohoku.

Among them, Fujii seems to have a crush on Sakuragi Hanamichi, but of course, this will happen in the future.

When the Lingnan team looked at them, they became obviously nervous.

Their attention was mainly focused on Uozumi. This was not a question of whether he was handsome or not, but that no matter where he was, the two-meter giant could always attract everyone's attention immediately.

Akagi Haruko exclaimed: "Wow, it's so high. It feels taller than my brother!"

"It should be about two meters, but he is about the same height as my father."

It was Matsui who spoke. In SD, when Mikio Kawada appeared, Matsui once said that Kawada was taller than her father, which means that her father was probably also a two-meter giant.

When they started talking about Uozumi, the Lingnan team players were also discussing them, but their focus was unanimously on Haruko Akagi.
Chapter completed!
