Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 219 Training (Part )

The afternoon after the exam, at the Xiangbei training hall

"Oh, haha. I'm glad to hear that everyone has passed the final exam. As a basketball player, you need not only excellent skills but also a smart mind. I'm glad that everyone here has both."

"Hahaha, I'm a genius!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was carried away

“It’s worth celebrating that you passed the exam, but more difficult training is still ahead. Do you have the confidence to complete it?

"Have!"

"Okay, we'll have a simple training today, and tomorrow is the real start. Everyone will gather at the gym at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the bus showed up at the gate of Xiangbei High School. Caizi came to the gym and said, "Everyone, go to the locker room and get your things. We are going to the training camp now." The players of Xiangbei High School were very happy and dispersed, completely forgetting that they were going to the training camp. The players took their things and got on the bus one after another. When they saw Coach Anxi, their expressions froze. Because at this time, Coach Anxi was no longer a kind old father, but a devil. Wearing sportswear, basketball shoes, and holding a bamboo sword for practicing kendo, he sat in the first seat with a fierce look.

The Xiangbei players were much quieter during the trip, even the usually playful Sakuragi and Kiyota were quiet. The bus drove for an hour and arrived at the beach. The Xiangbei players didn't understand why they were back to the beach, but seeing the look on Coach Anxi's face, they all got off the bus. Coach Anxi looked at the Xiangbei High School players and said in a very kind voice: "Kids, starting today, we will be training on this beach for a week. Are you ready?"

"We're ready." The Xiangbei players said in unison. The players arranged a place to stay. Everyone appeared on the beach. Coach Anxi looked at them and said, "Everyone take off your shoes and run back and forth on the beach 60 times. One round trip is 25 meters." "Yes." The Xiangbei players endured the scorching heat of the sand and began to run barefoot on the sand. Each of them ran very slowly. Although each of them ran almost the same distance as the basketball court, it was obviously much more tiring than running on the basketball court, and they sweated much more than usual. After running times, everyone was much more tired and sweated more than usual. After finishing the run, the Xiangbei players collapsed on the beach. Even Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had excellent physical fitness, sat on the ground panting.

After a short break of 30 minutes, the team members started to do basic exercises again. Everyone kept sitting on the beach to do defensive moves. Coach Anxi was very strict. The moves had to be done well, and everyone was carrying sandbags. After an hour of basic exercises, everyone fell on the beach like a dead person. Coach Anxi looked at them and frowned, because this was not what he wanted. Coach Anxi did not want to train them to collapse on the ground, but hoped that they could break through their physical limits and improve their physical fitness.

Soon, the day's training was over, and everyone had an indescribable feeling. The players of Xiangbei High School were so tired that they didn't even eat, and fell asleep on the bed. Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mugure Gongyan and Akagi Takenori were the only three of them who ate. Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the table full of delicious food and said, "Dad, are these all delicious foods prepared for us?" Coach Anxi looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi drooling and said, "Yes, Sakuragi, these are all prepared for you." Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately opened his cheeks and ate. "Delicious, this is really delicious..." Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly shouted, "Gorilla, you are too cunning, give me back my chicken leg, the banana is yours..." Bang, "Sakuragi, don't do this, my chicken leg..." Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi wolfing it down.

The next day's training began. The content was the same: running, defense practice, and an additional passing practice. On the beach, you can't dribble the ball, you can only run with the ball. If you want to grab the ball, you have to do more defensive moves than usual, and you can't make physical contact to prevent fouls. Every day's training is increasing in intensity, adding training for basic basketball items.

After five days of training, the Xiangbei basketball team has fully adapted to the training, and everyone's physical fitness has increased to varying degrees.

However, for Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi, these exercises could no longer meet their physical development requirements. Coach Anzai proposed that Ohashi help Sakuragi and Akagi strengthen their strength under the basket.

Sakuragi and Akagi continued to use their body strength to try to squeeze Ohashi out of the circle drawn by Coach Anzai, but due to the difference in strength and height, they were not able to control their center of gravity well. However, after two days of practice under the basket, the two were finally able to squeeze Ohashi out of the circle under Ohashi's defense.

The defenders of Mu Mu, Mitsui, and Yohei can also dribble on the beach without losing the ball.

After a week of beach training, no one realized the good intentions of Coach Anxi. The Xiangbei team members returned to Xiangbei High School. They spent the whole day doing high-intensity confrontation exercises. They felt that their bodies were lighter, their movements were more flexible, and their reaction speed was faster. They finally understood Coach Anxi's intention. The purpose of training on the beach was to prevent the sand from hindering their strength movements. In order to complete the required movements, they had to better grasp the strength techniques and the body's reaction speed.

Back at Shohoku High School, Coach Anxi, wearing sportswear and standing on the edge of the court with a bamboo sword in his hand, looked at the Shohoku players and said, "Kids, you still have three weeks before you participate in the national competition. The next week of training will be just as hard. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"

"Have!"

"Yueyue, what are you doing? You should have the intention to attack independently. Don't just focus on passing the ball and creating offensive opportunities. You should learn how to attack. Even if the offense fails, you should disrupt the opponent's defense in this way." Coach Anxi shouted as he watched Yueyue miss a great opportunity to attack with the ball.

"Kume, don't force the offense, get rid of the defense and shoot the three-pointer."

.......

Coach Anxi had been yelling at his players for their mistakes during the week, scolding them loudly, not giving them any face, constantly asking them to play, and immediately criticizing them loudly when they made mistakes. At this time, Coach Anxi was completely the same as when he was a coach in college. "Kiyota, that's not right. Don't rely on your physical fitness to judge whether the receiver can pass through the defense. You have to rely on your intuition and cultivate your sharp intuition." Coach Anxi said. "Yes." Kiyota said. "That's good to know. Run five laps around the stadium." The practice continued, and Kiyota kept running around the basketball court.

"Sakuragi, don't just think about dunking, pay attention to the players around you and don't foul." Coach Anzai accused. "Dad, don't be so angry. It's not good for your health." Sakuragi Hanamichi said with a grin. "Sakuragi, carry the ball around the court ten times." Coach Anzai said. Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't want to run, but seeing Akagi Takenori's gorilla fist, he still ran around the court with the ball obediently.

"Mito, don't try to increase your speed deliberately. Steady is your characteristic. Remember to pass the ball more often, learn to create opportunities, and make layups on your own."

"Nakajima, what are you doing? Don't worry about competing with Sakuragi Hanamichi in strength. Use your skills."

"You didn't train hard enough today, so I'll punish you by making you run laps on the football field. You have to run laps with the ball." Coach Anxi said with a gloomy face. The players tied a tire to their backs with a rope and started running with the ball. If you just run with the ball, you might be able to pay attention to your surroundings, but it's hard for the players to estimate everything when running with the ball. They either forget to run or remember to run but forget to run. The physical fatigue seriously affected the players' concentration.

After a week of high-intensity training, everyone's physical strength has obviously improved, and when the body is tired, the concentration is not as good as the fatigue caused by the body. Coach Anxi returned to his usual clothes that day, came to the stadium with a smile and said, "Kids, you have worked hard this week, I am very happy, today you can do a simple exercise. Don't be so hard. Let's have an internal training match to test your results. Tomorrow is the national competition play-offs. Students who want to go to Tokyo to cheer for Ryonan can go to Tokyo to cheer for Ryonan. The day after tomorrow we will train normally."
