Chapter 2 The new team

When he arrived at the basketball court, Mitsui threw his basketball to Haruko Akagi and said, "Hold it."

"Oh?" Haruko Akagi held the basketball in both hands and said, "Yes."

"Come on, one-on-one, start the offense from outside the three-point line. Whoever scores ten goals first wins, you come first." Mitsui said.

"Okay!" Akagi understood Mitsui's strength, stood outside the three-point line and patted the ball, his face became solemn. He found that Mitsui's defense was simply flawless, and he always felt that no matter where he dribbled the ball, he would be cut off.

"What's wrong? Don't be polite, come just!" Mitsui smiled confidently.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!" Akagi was a little angry, and immediately rushed towards Mitsui's left side with his ball. The next moment, Akagi rushed over with his huge and strong body, but the person rushed over, but the ball disappeared.

"It's not too strong." Mitsui held the ball in his hand, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "It's a pity that the dribble is not good, so it's very difficult for you to attack outside the three-point line."

"Damn it!" Although I knew that there was a big gap between each other's strength, Akagi would never have thought that the gap was so big that he didn't even have the ability to dribble.

"Forget it." Mitsui threw the ball to Akagi and said, "You should use your strongest attacking method! How are you good at attacking?"

Holding the basketball, Akagi was silent for a moment and said, "Attack under the basket."

"Is it an offense under the basket..." Mitsui nodded: "Yes, let me see your offense under the basket."

"Okay." Akagi stood outside the penalty area line with a basketball, and Mitsui also opened his hands and made a defensive posture.

The next moment, Akagi immediately turned around and used his back to hit. Mitsui immediately touched him. To be honest, Mitsui's physical fitness is still very good, and his height is now 1.78 meters. In Japan, today, in the early 1990s, walking on the streets, there were men of 1.6 meters and women of 1.5 meters. With Mitsui's height, they are already outspoken. However, compared with Akagi, who is 1.93 meters tall, it is still much worse, and Akagi's strength is really strong.

The next moment, Akagi sat on his butt. Mitsui suddenly felt a wave of overwhelming force. He hit him and held his breath. He also took two steps back. Akagi felt the power behind him disappear, and immediately turned around and raised the ball to shoot. Just as he was playing the board under the basket, Akagi also smiled and was very excited: I was about to score a goal under Mitsui's defense!

But the next moment, a shadow enveloped Akagi's body, and a big hand appeared and slapped the basketball that had already flew out of his hand.

"What!?" Akagi was shocked. It was the first time he was blocked and blocked by someone to grow up.

Haruko Akagi also exclaimed: "So amazing! My brother was actually blocked!"

Mitsui rubbed his stomach and grinned: "The strength is good, the flexibility is good, but the skills are not enough. If you just play with your height, you will never be a good center."

Akagi is silent.

Mitsui took a breath and said to Haruko Akagi: "Sister Haruko, give me the basketball."

"Oh? OK." Haruko Akagi quickly passed the basketball over. Mitsui received the ball and said, "Although my center skills are not very good, they are barely enough. Next, I will use the center's basket skills to attack, and you can defend."

"Okay!" Akagi is a man who never gives up, and his strength is defense in the penalty area. The kind of oppressive force can already be the main center in a high school team, which is also Akagi's confidence.

Mitsui stood outside the penalty area, holding the ball from the front, then raised the ball high and shot. Akagi did not dare to be careless, and immediately raised a hand to cover Mitsui's head, but then Mitsui immediately closed the ball and broke through. Akagi hurriedly slid his foot and followed Mitsui tightly.

The next moment, Mitsui immediately stopped his steps, turned around, turned around like a small gyro, and directly shook Akagi's center of gravity, and then opened his hand and was about to shoot.

"Don't think about it!" At the critical moment, Akagi retracted the center of gravity in time and wanted to block the jump. But the next moment, Mitsui smiled and turned around like a gyro. At this time, Akagi had completely lost his position. Mitsui easily hit the board under the basket. With a blink of an eye, the ball easily entered the basket.

"What!?" Looking at Mitsui who was at ease, Akagi was filled with horror. Akagi Haruko on the sidelines also covered her mouth with both hands, unable to believe that his brother was defeated so easily.

Mitsui held the ball and smiled slightly: "As the center, your defensive ability is temporarily enough, but your offensive ability is still much worse, especially your footsteps under the basket, which is basically zero. You only have an offensive ability to play under the basket. If you encounter a height and strength that is similar to yours, you just need to push you outside the penalty area and it will be difficult for you to score points. So the first thing you need to improve now is the singles ability at the basket, and footsteps under the basket are the easiest way to shake off the defensive players to score. Do you need to learn it?"

Akagi looked at Mitsui and focused his attention: "Please give me your steps just now, please."

"No need to do this, I'm just to have a good teammate. Your height is really good. It's already very good in the high school basketball world. And you still have two years of growth and will definitely grow taller in the future. In the Japanese high school basketball world, your physical condition is already very good, and you have a certain defensive ability. After that, as long as you gradually strengthen your defense and strengthen offensive training, our first year of high school will have the hope of entering the national competition. In the second year of high school, if a few better freshmen join, we have the hope of reaching the semi-finals of the country, and in the third year..."

A trace of light flashed in Mitsui's eyes: "It's the best time for us to strive for the national championship!"

A sudden surge of passion suddenly surged in Akagi's heart, and he stretched out his fist: "Dominate the country!"

“…”

There are still ten days left before the start of school. For the next ten days, Mitsui will guide Akagi's offensive skills at the basket every day. In addition to the footsteps under the basket, he also shoots outside the penalty area.

Mitsui's footwork skills can only be considered good, but the shooting skills are at a level of magic. Akagi's strength is too strong, causing too stiff fingers and wrists, which has caused great trouble to the stability of the shooting. In response to this point, Lu Yunfeng also reminded Akagi to strengthen physical flexibility training in the future and not just practice strength. Otherwise, once the opponent implements foul tactics, if Akagi's free throw rate is not high, it will only be a drag on the team.

"So, at least the stability of the free throw must be improved. If the free throw shooting percentage can reach 70%, it will be qualified." Mitsui said: "In the future, you will have to spend an hour every day to do yoga training. This will be good for your flexibility."

"I understand." After Mitsui's guidance for the past ten days, Akagi has absolute respect for Mitsui. His relationship is both a teacher and a friend, but it only makes Akagi very annoyed.

"Sister Haruko. You don't have a boyfriend yet! How about me being your boyfriend?"

"Senior Mitsui, don't be like this. It's so shameful."

Looking at Mitsui who teased his sister on the side of the court, Akagi's face was as deep as the bottom of a pot: "Bastard Mitsui! Don't beg my sister!"

Another year of cherry blossoms fell, and Shokube High School welcomed another group of freshmen. When Mitsui Shou and Akagi stood in the school notice board and saw the name of the freshmen's class, Akagi said regretfully: "It seems that they can't become classmates anymore."

"It's okay." Mitsui smiled slightly: "Just be in the same club, just sign up together later!"

"Okay." Akagi nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the class first."

"Go!"

When Mitsui walked to his class, he casually found a seat in the back row. With his height, he could only sit in the back row, otherwise he would block people.

"Mirui." As soon as she sat down for a while, three relatively tall male classmates came over. The one who led the lead had a black and fierce look. She didn't look like a good person at first, but she smiled at Mitsui: "That's great, we are in the same class."

"Daotian?" Seeing this person, Mitsui knew who these three were. They were members of the support team of the flame man Mitsui Shou, the three bad boys, but in the original work, only Tokuoji was given the name by Yuhiko Inoue, while the other two became absolute supporting roles, not even a name, which was very miserable.

However, after inheriting Mitsui Shou's memory, Lu Yunfeng knew their names, but he still won't say it anymore. Anyway, he is also a supporting role.

Mitsui smiled: "You are still the same, and you don't want to collect protection fees at school, right?"

"Haha, who made me black~ society! As the future heir, I have entered the internship period now, you can watch it! In the next three years, the entire Xiangbei High School will become my territory for Tian Denan."

That's right, the dad of Tokuno is a member of the society and a small leader. In Japan, the black society is a very common group. Although they often cut people and grab territories, lend money loans, elite casinos, pornographic places, etc., they will not easily bully ordinary people, otherwise the police would not let them go, which is also a Japanese feature.

"Don't go too far. After all, there are judo clubs, boxing clubs, karate clubs, and basketball clubs in the school that you can't afford to offend. And what's the point of bullying people in three years in high school?" Mitsui looked at Tokuo Tokuo, saying, "Jida, your figure and height are very suitable for playing basketball. Why not join the basketball club with me! You know, basketball is good, but it's very popular among girls. Don't you want to enjoy the cheers of girls on the court?"

"Well, it sounds good." Tokuno Niutian touched his chin and said, "But my skills are much worse than you. I'm afraid that when you come to the court, you will be able to steal all the limelight."

Mitsui smiled and said, "Basketball is a sport of five people. The limelight will never be snatched away by one person. As long as you perform well on the court, you will also be loved by girls. Daotian, come on! Come and help me. In the next three years, I will definitely lead the Xiangbei basketball team to dominate the country! Don't you want to create a history of Xiangbei basketball with me?"

"Creating history? It seems very interesting." Tokuo Tokuo touched his chin and finally showed a smile: "Okay, since Mitsui, you are so confident, I will do it with you!"

"Brother Niaotian, where are we?" Niaotian's two subordinates asked, "Are we going to join the basketball club as well?"

"you……"

"You'll forget it." Mitsui shook her head: "You don't have the talent to play, especially you..." Mitsui pointed to the ugly man wearing glasses and said, "You'll forget it if myopia is."

Myopia touched the back of my head: "Forget it, I don't have much interest in basketball anyway."

"So too." Another follower laughed: "Let's be cheerleaders for Big Brother Mitsui and Big Brother Niaotian."

Tokuo Oda laughed and said, "This is a good idea. OK, you will be our cheerleader in the future. Mitsui is passionate about playing on the court, just like a burning flame. In the future, Mitsui's nickname is Flame Man, and I... well, just call me a beast. In the future, the combination of Flame Man and the beast will definitely sweep Kanagawa and dominate the whole country. Hahaha!"

Amid the crazy laughter of Tokuno, Mitsui showed a dark face. Unexpectedly, his title of Tokuno, he was actually given by Tokuno. Thinking of playing on the court in the future, there were a group of male men in the stands shouting at the top of their voices: "The flame man, Tokuno, Mitsui, the beast Tokuno, dominates the country!"

The scene is so beautiful. I dare not watch it!

The course of the day ended soon. After the last class, Lu Yunfeng and Tokuan immediately went to the basketball club with Tokuan. He handed over the application for joining the club to the captain of the basketball club. The captain of the basketball club obviously knew Mitsui. When he saw Mitsui, he was very surprised: "Mitsui! The national high school MVP in the county! Have you actually come to our Xiangbei?"

"What! Mitsui is here?"

When this news spread throughout the basketball club, all the basketball club players surrounded him excitedly. The Xiangbei basketball team has always been a super bad team in the prefecture. It is basically a first-round tour or a second-round tour. It has never reached the top 16 in the prefecture. It is such a bad team that has attracted Mitsui Shou, the Kanagawa Prefecture MVP? This is simply incredible.

Seeing Mitsui surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, Tokuo Dao was so envious. Of course, as an old friend for many years, although he was a little jealous, he would not feel hated. After all, this was obtained by Mitsui himself. There are many players who play well in basketball every year, but there is only one MVP every year, and last year's MVP was Mitsui Shou.

"Oh! Akagi, finally here." Just as Mitsui was being watched enthusiastically, a tall figure walked in. The target was so eye-catching. Mitsui saw it at a glance and immediately raised his hand and greeted him.

"Wow! So tall!" With Mitsui Shou's greeting, everyone saw this giant who was over 1.9 meters tall. Mitsui's limelight was snatched away. At least half of the people surrounded him, and the captain of the basketball team was no exception. There was no way. The Xiangbei basketball team had never had a player of more than 1.9 meters tall. Akagi was still a freshman, and he was 1.9 meters tall. Such scarce resources were definitely the wealth of the Xiangbei basketball team.

"Damn it, isn't it just that he is bigger? What's so amazing?" Toyoto Oda was not polite to people outside Mitsui. Now Toyoto Oda is 1.8 meters tall, but from the original work, after the third grade, his height was about 1.8 meters tall, 1.84 meters tall... Well, at least in the Japanese high school basketball world, it's more than enough to be a power forward, and Hirota's strength is very good. Although he can't compare to Hanamichi Sakuragi, he is much stronger than Kakuda.

Power forwards are strong enough to carry people and can beat people. If they have the ability to shoot in one hand, it would be quite good.

And Kuotian has such conditions and potential.

Mitsui patted Hirota on the shoulder and said, "Akagi is a rare center talent, and in the future it is very likely to grow into the first center in the county, or even the first center in the country. You can't envy this talent. Fortunately, Hirota is the center, and your position is a power forward. I will train you slowly in the future. This year our goal is to enter the national competition. Without your strength, it will be difficult for us to do it. So, Hirota, come on!"

Hearing Mitsui’s expectations for him, Hirotian’s eyes added a hint of pride and pressure, and he nodded: “Don’t worry, Mitsui, I will definitely help you enter the national competition, and within three years, we must dominate the country.”

"This is also my goal!" Akagi is very sensitive to the four words "dominating the country". Even though it was far away, he heard Hirota's words and immediately stepped over and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Akagi Takaki, Mitsui's friend."

When he was really facing Akagi, Hirota felt a huge sense of oppression and couldn't help but feel a little more afraid. He quickly shook his hand and said, "I am Hirota Tokuo, a friend of Mitsui for many years, and a member of the basketball team."

Akagi looked at Hirota's figure, a smile appeared on his face, and nodded: "It's very good, I think the power forward's position is very suitable for you."

"Mitsui said so too." Hirota became a little proud again.

"Oh?" Akagi turned his head and looked at Mitsui and smiled, "Mitsui, I am increasingly convinced that we can really dominate the country within three years."

"What? Have you never believed it before?" Mitsui smiled and said, "As long as I am super genius, I am not a good idea to dominate the country."

"It's still as arrogant as ever." Akagi looked dark, but he couldn't refute it, because Mitsui was really a super genius. In the past ten days, he had completely experienced it. Although Akagi was confident that his skills had made great progress in the past ten days, compared with Mitsui, he was still like a child and an adult, and was not at the same level at all.

"If I had no such confidence, how could I lead the Xiangbei basketball team to dominate the country?" Mitsui smiled slightly and said, "Akagi, Hirota, let's work together! If you come to dominate the basket in the future, I will be responsible for shooting firecrackers on the outside, and no team can stop us."

Takaki Akagi and Tokuno Hirota were so excited that they beat their chests hard: "We will dominate the basket and leave it to us!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
