The content on the piece of paper that Ayako handed to Jinguji Budo was quite brief. In short, Kanagawa Prefecture has already begun preparing for the Autumn National Games in October this year. After school starts, the players for the Autumn National Games will be selected immediately, and then the team will practice together to prepare for this year's Autumn National Games.
The Autumn National Sports Festival is a national sports event, with local administrative regions as participating units, namely counties, prefectures, cities, and provinces.
Take Kanagawa Prefecture as an example. The entire Kanagawa Prefecture formed a 15-member basketball team to compete with other prefectures. The competition system is an elimination system. This year, there are a total of 47 teams participating. After all, the competition is based on the first-level administrative districts, and the intensity of the competition is far more intense than the IH in summer.
However, for individual players, the honor of IH is much more important than the honor of Autumn National Sports. After all, one is a competition between schools, and the other is a competition between administrative districts. The former can better highlight the individual ability of the players and their leadership level.
"Ah, the national physique of autumn!"
"Ayako, where did you get this?"
"Is this all the information you have?"
There was very little information recorded on the paper. Apart from knowing that this incident had occurred, there were no other details. Wu Dao shook the paper in his hand and asked Cai Zi in front of him.
Today is the first day of school, and Ayako actually has something like this in her hand. I have to say that Ayako is really well-informed. Wudao feels that Ayako should have more detailed information in her hand.
"Oh, got rid of what my friend got."
"I know that the team formation in Kanagawa Prefecture has already begun. I heard that the coach is Coach Tanaoka from Ryonan High School."
"This is really unexpected! I thought the coach of Kanagawa Prefecture should be Coach Anzai!"
"Coach Anzai is a former national player, and he led a weak team like ours, Shohoku, to the top eight in the country. Coach Takeo of Ryonan, his qualifications and experience are simply incomparable to our coach!"
Ayako's tone was full of regret when she talked about the coach. But Budo was not surprised to hear the news. In his opinion, there were only a few people in Kanagawa Prefecture who were qualified to serve as coaches for the Autumn National Sports.
Hainan's coach Takato, Ryonan's coach Tanaka, and Shohoku's coach Anzai. Hainan's performance this year was average, but after all, Takato was a famous coach who had led Hainan to Kanagawa Prefecture for many years, so it was normal to choose him.
Although Ryonan, led by Coach Takeoka of Ryonan High School, had mediocre results in the past few years and did not have much experience in major competitions, this year Ryonan High School won the IH championship under the leadership of Coach Takeoka. Under the leadership of Coach Takeoka, Ryonan defeated the national overlord Sanno Industrial for many years.
There is no shortcut on their road to winning the championship. It requires real ability. There is no problem in choosing Coach Tanaoka as the head coach for the Autumn National Sports Games.
Compared to these two young and energetic coaches, Coach Anzai is a little older. Although Xiangbei's results this year are excellent and Coach Anzai has more coaching experience, it is normal to prefer Mesozoic coaches when choosing coaches.
"Isn't that Coach Tanaka from Ryonan..."
"That's normal. He is a champion coach after all."
"For this year's Autumn National Games, we from Xiangbei should be able to select a few people, right?"
Wu Dao held his chin with one hand, turned his head to look out the window, and asked absentmindedly.
"Of course! According to gossip, there are five of us in Shohoku, you, Miyagi, Mitsui-senpai, Akagi-senpai, and Chiba-senpai."
"That is to say, normally, our Xiangbei starters will be called up to participate in the training camp."
"The player selection for the Autumn National Games is by invitation only. All of you will be called up, but whether you can stay or not depends on the results of the training camp."
"I estimate that the specific notice will come in two days, and you will know then."
Hearing this, Wudao turned his head and looked at Caizi in surprise. He didn't expect that so many people from Xiangbei were called up. There were only 15 spots on the roster, and Xiangbei had 5.
Judging from the results of this year's county tournament, all five players recruited by Shohoku will be able to stay until the end. It's not that Wudou is conceited, but there are only a few masters in Kanagawa Prefecture, and Wudou can count them on his fingers.
"Is that so? According to what you said, we've just started recruiting players at the beginning of the school year, and then there will be team training. I'm afraid our internal team practice in Xiangbei will be slack."
"This may not be a good thing for the team!"
Budou was a little worried about the improvement of the entire Xiangbei team. If Budou and his main players were withdrawn for training, the remaining players might relax! Without the suppression of Mitsui and Akagi, relying on Mumu, a good man, might not be able to carry out the current training intensity.
As for Coach Anxi, it depends on whether he is interested in it. Wu Dao does not have much hope for this.
Wu Dao knew what kind of person Coach Anxi was. He would pay attention to talented players, but would completely let them go. If a player was motivated and went to Coach Anxi for guidance, Coach Anxi would not refuse. But if a player was lazy, Coach Anxi would definitely not care.
"Your worries are unnecessary."
"I've already informed you of this news. You should prepare early. I'll go tell Miyagi before the bell rings."
Caizi glanced at the clock at the back of the classroom, and seeing that there was still time, she comforted him and hurried out of the classroom. After Caizi left, Wudao looked out the window and couldn't help but feel some anticipation for the Autumn National Games.
"Akira no Kokutai! I don't know which team can stop us in Kanagawa Prefecture."
... .
“Hahahahahahaha!”
In the teacher's office of Lingnan High School, a hearty laugh came out early in the morning. The students passing by looked inside in confusion and happened to see a middle-aged man holding a document in his hands and laughing loudly.
There were only a few teachers in the office, and everyone turned their heads to look at the teacher who was laughing so loudly. However, he did not seem to want to stop, and the more he laughed, the happier he became.
"Hey, hey, hey, Coach Tiangang, what good thing happened to you so early in the morning? You look so happy."
"Yeah! Tell us, what's going on? Is your wife going to give birth?"
When the colleagues around saw Coach Tiangang smiling happily, they gathered around him and asked curiously.
"Gah..." Coach Tiangang stopped talking when he heard his colleague's question. What do you mean by "my wife is going to have a baby?" What is this? He, Tiangang Maoyi, already has a child!
The unhappiness on Coach Tiangang's face quickly disappeared. After adjusting his mentality, Coach Tiangang flicked his wrist and "showed" the document in his hand to his colleagues around him. While showing it, he showed it to everyone:
"I! Shigeichi Taoka has been selected as the head coach of the Kanagawa Prefecture team for the Autumn National Games!"
"This year, I, Shigeichi Taoka, will lead the best players from Kanagawa Prefecture to compete in the Autumn National Games!"
"It's me! Tanaoka Shigeichi!"
Coach Tiangang put his thumb on his chest and kept emphasizing to his colleagues around him, with an unusually bright smile on his face. He could already picture Coach Gaotou's expression in his mind.
I guess Gaotou must have looked very unhappy when he heard the news!
Whenever he thought of this, Coach Tiangang couldn't control his emotions at all.
"Oh!
Great job, Coach Tanaka."
"As expected of you, you are the famous coach who led us to the IH championship. The higher-ups were very discerning in choosing you!"
"Hmph... Don't be too happy too soon. If the results of the autumn national sports are not good, you will lose face for Kanagawa Prefecture."
Colleagues in the office all congratulated Coach Tiangang, but among all the words, there was one that was particularly harsh. This word came from the door. Coach Tiangang shrank his eyes, accurately searched the direction where the voice came from, and looked towards the door.
"Gaotou!" Coach Tiangang raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, but then he calmed down and changed his expression. He showed a smile that he thought was kind, and greeted him with a fake smile:
"Hahaha, Coach Gaotou!"
"What wind brings you here?"
"Come in quickly, haha, come in quickly."
Coach Tian Gang greeted him with a sarcastic tone. It wasn't that he intended to do that, but he just couldn't control his emotions so well.
"I'm here to ask you a favor, Head Coach Tanaoka."
Coach Gaotou waved behind him, and three students from Hainan came forward and greeted Coach Tiangang one by one:
"Hello, Coach Tanaoka, I'm Shinichi Maki, a sophomore at Kainan High School."
"Hello, I'm Kaminari Ichiro, a freshman at Hainan High School."
"Second year, Kazuma Takasago. Hello, Coach Tanaoka."
Three students wearing Hainan school uniforms walked into the office under the instructions of Coach Gaotou. After entering the office, they all bowed to Shigeichi Tianoka and then introduced themselves.
Seeing this scene, Coach Tiangang narrowed his eyes, looked at Coach Gaotou, and moved his lips slightly:
"Coach Gaotou, what does this mean?"
Coach Tanaoka spoke in a gentle tone, pretending to be stupid.
But Coach Gaotou would not be so perfunctory. He came to Ryonan today, and he had already lost face and lowered his status. It was all for these students of his!
"Haha, Coach Tiangang, these three players of mine are the elites of Hainan!"
"Amu, you should know him. It's no exaggeration to say that Amu is the strongest point guard in Kanagawa Prefecture!"
"He has the ability to help Kanagawa achieve better results in the Autumn National Games."
"Takasago! Jedi is one of the best centers in the county. Among the centers of the same grade, his playing style is the most stable and experienced. He will never let you down at the critical moment!"
"Kamizono Ichiro is an absolute potential rising star. His three-point shooting has improved very quickly. I believe that if he is given some time, he will definitely shine on the court!"
"I'm not here for anything else, I just hope that Coach Tiangang can put aside the team's prejudices and give these young people more opportunities to perform."
Coach Gaotou spoke very bluntly, and this was also the purpose of his visit to Ryonan High School today.
In previous autumn national sports games, there is often a situation where the head coach tends to favor players from his own school when selecting players. Many times, the players playing on the court are often not the most suitable, but the ones who have a relatively good relationship with the coach.
Although Coach Gaotou did not deliberately suppress players from other schools when he was in charge of the Autumn National Sports County Team, when using players, he would subconsciously choose to trust the players on his own team.
He knew that he and Tanaka Shigeichi were in competition, and this year, Tanaka, who was his rival, was in charge of the county team. He didn't want to extend his competition with Tanaka to other places, and didn't want to see his players lose playing time because of him. Coach Takato was not worried that his players would not be called up, nor that they would not be able to survive the training camp. He was just worried that Coach Tanaka would suppress his players.
"Um?!"
Sure enough, after hearing what Coach Gaotou said, Coach Tiangang frowned. He glanced at the three players in front of him, touched his chin, and said in a deep voice:
"Gaotou, of course I will give young people a chance to perform."
"But you have to fight for this opportunity to perform."
"None of the players called up for this year's Autumn National Games are easy to deal with."
"Let's not talk about Maki Shinichi for now. For the inside position, our team's Uozumi and Hanagata, Shohoku's Akagi and Chiba Daishi will all be called up. Add in your team's third-year players Maekawa Daiki and Takasago Kazuma, there will be a total of 6 people! Whether Takasago can get a chance to play depends on his ability and whether he can surpass these people!"
"When it comes to scoring players who have shooting ability, we have Fujima, Sendoh, and Shinomiya Tano from Ryonan, and Mitsui Hisashi and Jinguji Budou from Shohoku High School."
"I'm not looking down on your players, but who do you think he can compare to?"
Taoka Shigeichi focused his gaze on Kamiso Ichiro, and handed the information in his hand to Coach Gaotou beside him, and said bluntly.
Coach Takato took the information handed over by Coach Takaoka and quickly looked through it. In addition to appointing Coach Takaoka as the head coach of the Kanagawa Prefecture team for the Autumn National Sports Games, it also included a list of players that were required to be recruited.
The selection of players for the Autumn National Games is an invitation system. The superiors have given a list of players who must be called up. At the same time, as the head coach, Coach Tanaoka is also eligible to recommend players in the county to participate in the training camp. Of these two recruitment methods, the former can be said to be an internal selection. Unless the player performs very poorly in the training camp, he will be firmly included in the list.
There are a lot of players here alone.
The starting five of Ryonan High School include Shinomiya Tano, Sendoh Akira, Uozumi Jun, Fujima Kenji, Hanagata Toru, and even Fukuda Yoshitaka.
Several starting players of Shohoku High School are also on the list, including Takenori Jinguji, Hisashi Mitsui, Takenori Akagi, Ryouta Miyagi, and Daishi Chiba.
In addition to these people, Hainan's third-year center Daiki Maekawa, third-year small forward Shifuku Ohmasa, guard Shinichi Maki, and second-year power forward Kazuma Takasago are all designated for recruitment.
There are already 15 people here alone.
In terms of positions, the people designated above can easily form two teams, and the depth of the substitutes is sufficient to cope with the national stadium in autumn.
Apart from anything else, even if Kazuo Kamiya, who is not on the list, is recommended by Coach Tanaoka and joins the training camp, if he wants to get a chance to play, he must OK other players in the same position.
Kazuo Jinzou is a positional player and can also be classified as a small forward. His opponents are Jinguji Takeshi and Mitsui Hisashi from Shohoku High School, Shinomiya Tano and Sendoh from Ryonan... ...
"Haha, Gaotou, weren't you just worried about whether I could lead Kanagawa County to achieve good results this year?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you! The Autumn National Games championship trophy is mine, Shigeichi Tanaka!"
“Even if Jesus comes, he won’t stop me!”
