Chapter 191 Joy falls from heaven

The person standing at the door was none other than coach Tian Gang.

"Coach, you didn't come here specifically to see us, did you?"

Uozumi said with a smile that since Kanagawa reached the finals, it was normal for Coach Taoka to come to see the Lingnan players.

"No, you are wrong!"

Coach Tian Gang seemed to have thought of something and couldn't stop the smile on his face, which was as big as a chrysanthemum.

"Since Coach Jintian is feeling slightly unwell, the organizing committee specially arranged for me to be your coach!"

As Coach Taoka finished speaking, Uozumi and Ikegami looked at each other, never expecting that such a thing would happen in the last game left.

This kind of thing must have happened for the first time even in the Autumn National Sports Competition.

I have to say that the operation of the Kanagawa Organizing Committee is really cool!

However, they quickly reacted. While they were happy for Coach Tianoka, they looked like they had found the organization.

With coach Taoka taking care of him, he naturally no longer has to think about playing time, especially Ikegami, who is not ordinary excited.

Ikegami currently averages less than five minutes per game, and he basically plays in garbage time.

After all, Fujima played 20 minutes in today's game. Even though he didn't play in three games, his average time per game was higher than Ikegami's.

Poor Ikegami, his average time per game is already last, and he is just a marginal member of the team.

"Actually, I believe you also know the real reason.

The chairman of the organizing committee could not trust Coach Kaneda, so he convinced other senior officials of the organizing committee, and then the organizing committee made such a decision."

Coach Tagoka paused for a moment and continued: "Gao Touli has a great advantage. If nothing else happens, it stands to reason that he should replace Coach Kaneda.

However, the chairman of the organizing committee finally made the decision to let me serve as this candidate. Afterwards, he called and chatted with me for a while. Only then did I realize that I was able to take on this important task mainly because of your relationship.

Uozumi, it’s really thanks to you that I can serve as the team coach this time!”

Coach Tian Gang still couldn't hide his excitement. His mind was still filled with Gao Touli's expression after hearing the news, not to mention how happy he felt.

"Where is it? By the way, coach, you rushed over here in such a hurry. You probably didn't make any preparations. Is there anything you need help with?"

Seeing Coach Taoka's tired appearance, Uozumi knew how he had spent the past few hours, and he probably didn't even prepare any luggage.

There is no way, time is too tight.

Tomorrow is the finals, and luckily it's in the afternoon, otherwise it would be difficult to plan tactics.

"It's okay. I'm only staying for one day anyway. It's not a big deal."

Coach Tianoka waved his hand and continued: "Okay, let's get down to business. In view of the limited time, I must get familiar with the team as soon as possible.

I'll go to the room to wipe my face first, Yuzhu, Chishang, you can help me gather the players and have them assemble in the lobby."

"Yes, coach!"

Uozumi and Ikegami agreed and hurried to inform other players.

In the process, Uozumi discovered that the door to Coach Kaneda’s room was open and a waiter was cleaning it.

Uozumi asked and learned that Coach Kaneda had left.

He was not surprised, and it was reasonable for Coach Kaneda to leave early.

In just ten minutes, all the players gathered in the lobby, and no one was absent.

This has to be said about Yuzumi's prestige in the team. Even Takamiya Moto, who dislikes him, does not dare to violate it on the surface.

When Coach Tagoka showed up and learned that Coach Tagoka would replace Coach Kaneda as coach of the team, they were also surprised.

Among them, the most surprising thing was the Xiangyang players, because coach Kaneda didn't even inform them when he left.

I have to say that Coach Kaneda is really prone to being impulsive.

At this time, except for Fujima, the other Shoyang players didn't look very good, especially Matsushima Kazuto and Kimura Yuya, they are both die-hard supporters of Coach Kaneda.

In the team, these two seem to be just substitutes, but they average more than 20 minutes of playing time per game. They are not starters, but they are better than starters.

Well, now that coach Kaneda is gone, their playing time in the finals may be greatly reduced, and they may even not be able to play.

"I'm calling you here now mainly to get to know each other. However, all of you here are elites from Kanagawa, and I know you all, so there is no need to introduce yourself."

Coach Taoka pondered for a moment and continued: "Currently, Kanagawa has advanced to the finals and is only one step away from the championship. I believe everyone has ideas about the championship. Like you, I also want to win the championship.

From this point of view, our goals are the same.

However, our opponents are very strong, and if we want to win the championship, we must go all out.

Basketball is a team sport, just like our fingers, they can only be made into a fist when they are balled up.

I hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely, temporarily put aside those previous prejudices, and unite as one. Only by becoming a whole can we hope to win the championship. Everyone, do you think what I said is right?"

Coach Tianoka is still very eloquent, and his coaching level cannot be overemphasized. As for why he did not produce results until this year, it is mainly because he has bad luck and has never been able to obtain the cornerstone for building a team before.

This is just like how a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, especially in Kanagawa Prefecture where strong teams are concentrated.

"Coach is right!"

Immediately, Uozumi, Ikegami and Ozawa Yusaku rushed to help, followed closely by Fujima, Akagi, Mitsui, Aso Taro, Maki Shinichi, Hanagata, Nohara Koichiro and the Watanabe brothers.

Only three people were slower, namely Takamiya Motou, Matsushima Kazuto and Kimura Yuya.

However, they finally chose to follow the crowd, but their voices were much lower than those of other players.

"Very good, let's lay out some simple tactics and let's practice together tomorrow morning."

It's not that Coach Tianoka doesn't want to deploy more complicated tactics, but he knows that it takes time.

The finals are tomorrow, and he can only arrange some simple tactics.

After more than half an hour, Coach Tianoka dismissed the team.

The players must rest well for tomorrow's game.

However, Coach Tianoka still kept Uozumi because he had some questions that he needed to ask for advice.

"Uozumi, you know this team better than I do. If the team is based on you as the core, which players do you think are more suitable for the starting lineup?"

Uozumi thought for a while and said sternly: "I think Taro Aso can be used as a power forward. He is fast, explosive, and has a precise mid-range shot. He can help me find and fill in my gaps. He is the most suitable inside partner for me.

.”

“Taro Aso is really good!”

Coach Taoka also understands Aso's characteristics. Thinking about the inside line composed of Uozumi and Aso makes people feel desperate.

Uozumi continued: "As for the small forward, I think Ikegami is the most suitable. His defense and three-pointers are what I need, and the offensive end can help me open up space.

In addition, in the national competition, Ikegami defended Kashima Maple Shuang. He has a certain understanding of Kashima Maple Shuang. Although I think he will definitely be taught a lesson by Kashima Maple Shuang, others may not be better than him.

.”

"Where's the shooting guard?"

"As for the shooting guard, although Captain Ozawa is also very good, I prefer Hisashi Mitsui. His three-pointers are very accurate, his defense is also very solid, and his physical fitness is also better.

Coach, to put it bluntly, if the opponent is Minoru Matsumoto, Mitsui is undoubtedly more suitable than captain Ozawa."

Uozumi discussed the matter based on the facts and was not biased because Yusaku Ozawa was a Lingnan player.

Coach Tian Gang pondered for a moment, and after thinking about the characteristics of the other candidates, he finally nodded.

"What about the point guard?"

"Kenji Fujima!"

Uozumi didn't give a reason this time, but Coach Taoka could guess what his proud disciple was thinking.

Shinichi Maki and Koichiro Nohara have similar characteristics. They are both point guards who are physically strong but are not good at mid-range and long-range shooting.

If Shinichi Maki or Koichiro Nohara are used, it is very likely that they will repeat the same mistake as Fukuoka Prefecture. On the offensive end, the opponent's point guard can double-team him at any time.

Compared with them, Fujima is different.

Fujima has excellent mid-range shooting ability and excellent organizational skills. Due to Uozumi's intervention, Fujima's shortcomings of poor confrontation have been greatly improved.

The reason why Yuzhu chose such a starting lineup was due to other considerations.

These five people are from Lingnan, Xiangyang and Xiangbei respectively. There is not much conflict between these three teams, unlike Hainan, Xiangyang and Buri where there have been many years of grudges and prejudices.

Especially Hainan High School, the other four teams have conflicts with Hainan High School, including Xiangbei.

The reason why Shohoku doesn't like Hainan is because Takenori Akagi took away the quota of Hainan players, and Liang Zi was also tied.

"What if there's another second lineup?"

Uozumi thought for a while and replied: "Tsuken Akagi, Masao Watanabe, Masayasu Watanabe, Yusaku Ozawa and Shinichi Maki."

In terms of strength, Takamiya Motoyu's personal strength is naturally stronger, but he may become a piece of shit.

As for Toru Hanagata, he has not yet become a top player. There is a clear gap between him and the other three, and he still needs some time to grow.

Nohara Koichiro's characteristics are similar to Mu Shinichi, but not as good as Mu Shinichi.

As for whether Mu Shenyi will also become a piece of rat shit, after this period of observation, Yuzhu believes that he will eventually make the right choice.

In the face of major issues of right and wrong, 'middle-aged people' are still very decisive.

Regarding this second lineup, Coach Tianoka thought for a while, but didn't say much.

Since he knows Coach Taoka better, Uozumi always feels that he seems to have other ideas!

However, it’s hard to say anything about Yuzhu.

After all, this is the coach's business. As a player, he just needs to go out and play well.
