A short half-court game of twenty minutes was enough for the players of Teiko Junior High School to realize the gap between themselves and the high school students.
After the game was stopped by Coach Anzai, the players of Teiko Junior High School did not clamor to continue the game with the players of Xiangbei. With such a gap in strength, it was meaningless to continue the game.
After the game, Teiko's players walked off the court one after another, leaving the field empty.
"I advised you, but you didn't listen and insisted on competing with Xiangbei High School."
"Now, you have to bear the consequences of overestimating your own abilities, right?"
"You guys do have great talent, but it's still too early to face an opponent of that level!"
After the Teiko players left the field, Coach Sanada pulled Aomine Daiki, Akashi and others aside and spoke earnestly. Of course, the "good talent" he mentioned did not include Kuroko Tetsuya.
"Hahaha, Coach, isn't it just a loss in a practice match? What's the big deal?"
"Honestly, the starting lineup of Xiangbei High School is really amazing!"
"That red-haired guy guarded me so well that I didn't have many chances to shoot. The main force of Xiangbei is really amazing!"
Aomine Daiki did not show any disappointment about losing the game. When he heard what Coach Sanada said, he laughed a few times and replied.
He didn't care about winning or losing the game. What he cared about was that he got to see a higher level of basketball through this game.
"Main force? You mean Xiangbei's main force?"
"How could those guys you're playing against be the main force of Xiangbei High School?!"
"Qingfeng, you know too little about the world of high school basketball."
"Look, the main force is those few people!"
Coach Sanada pointed at Jinguji Budou, Mitsui Hisashi and others who were walking towards the court at this time, and said, Aomine Daiki and others don't know much about high school basketball, so how could he, the coach of the junior high school basketball team, not know much about it
Moreover, Shohoku High School is a strong team in the county, and Coach Sanada must have some understanding of the main players of such a team.
"Um?!"
While Coach Sanada was speaking, Aomine Daiki, Akashi and others looked in the direction of Sanada's finger, and happened to see Jinguji Takeshi, Mitsui Hisashi and others entering the stadium at this time.
When they saw Jinguji Budo, they couldn't take their eyes off him.
"Coach, who is that tall guy? Is he the starting center for Xiangbei High School?"
Aomine Daiki looked at Jinguji Budo with a hint of curiosity in his expression.
"Oh, you mean Jinguji Budo?"
"Probably not. He was the ace of Xiangbei High School in his freshman year, playing the small forward position."
"I heard that he went to the United States to study in the second half of his freshman year. I was shocked when I saw him today. He came back so soon, and he's even taller now."
Director Sanada looked at Jinguji Budo and said with emotion.
Turning his head, he saw Aomine Daiki's face showing an eager expression, and immediately said:
"Don't even think about provoking him."
"He's not just any other player. Playing against him won't do you any good."
"Jinguji Budo is one of the 'Kanagawa Twin Stars'. He is the strongest among many high school students."
"I watched the IH games and the Autumn National Games last year. That guy is worthy of the title of 'the strongest'."
"It's too early for you to challenge someone like this."
When Coach Sanada saw Aomine Daiki's expression, he knew what this kid was thinking. He hoped that his teammate would quickly give up that idea and not cause him any more trouble.
What if the team's genius is defeated when he leads the team to a game, will he still be the supervisor? !
However, the more he said this, the more excited Aomine Daiki became.
Aomine Daiki is not afraid of losing at all. What he is afraid of is that there will be no goals for him to strive for and no opponents for him to challenge.
"That's enough for today. Let's pack up and go back."
When Coach Sanada saw Aomine's expression, he knew that his words were of no use, so he quickly pushed Aomine's arm and spoke to the team members.
At this time in the stadium, the players of Xiangbei team began to warm up again and prepare for the next training. Even Sakuragi Hanamichi and others were bragging to their teammates while doing warm-up exercises.
"Supervisor, is it still early?"
"Let's...stay and see how Xiangbei High School trains!"
"Coach, there's no rush to go back, right? Seeing the training of a strong high school team will definitely help us!"
Aomine Daiki knew that Coach Sanada would never let them play against the Shohoku players again, and he could also vaguely feel that the Shohoku main players like Jinguji Budo would never play against them, the junior high school students who had already lost the game.
However, Qingfeng was curious about the strength of Xiangbei's main players, so he could only settle for the next best thing and request to "observe" Xiangbei's training.
"No! Even if I agree, Shohoku's coach Anzai will never agree."
Supervisor Sanada shook his head and declined politely.
"Coach, if you don't ask, how do you know that Shohoku's coach Anxi won't agree?"
"Supervisor, go ask. I think the powerful people in the country will not refuse the requests of the younger generations."
"Besides, we are just taking a look and not doing anything else."
Just when Aomine was about to continue fighting for it, Akashi, who had been silent, chimed in. When Akashi said this, Midorima and Murasakibara also looked towards Supervisor Sanada.
"Pack your things first, I'll go ask."
"Don't get your hopes up. I don't think Coach Anzai would agree."
Seeing the expectant looks on the team members' faces, Sanada sighed helplessly and walked towards the rest area on the other side.
To be honest, Sanada was also very curious about how Shohoku High School trained, but he was too embarrassed to ask Coach Anzai again.
Borrowing someone else's gym or relying on Mingchuan Middle School's reputation, provoking other players to play practice games, affecting other people's training, is already a very rude thing, and now you have to watch other people's training... ..
All these things piled up together made Sanada feel shameless.
However, facing the requests of Aomine Daiki and others, he couldn't just refuse. After all, those children were the future of Teiko.
However, to the surprise of Coach Sanada, Shohoku's Coach Anzai was surprisingly easy to talk to. Not only did he not care about their previous provocation of Shohoku players to play a practice match, he even agreed to his request to observe.
This made Director Sanada overjoyed, but also ashamed.
When he told the news to the rest area, Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly, threw his half-packed backpack aside, and sat on the bench to watch Xiangbei training.
The training plan for Xiangbei High School today is tactical drills.
The tactics that Coach Anzai has formulated for the current Xiangbei High School team are all centered around Jinguji Martial Arts. The main point is Jinguji Martial Arts, and the main means of launching attacks are mid-range and long-range attacks.
The corresponding tactics were not complicated. To put it bluntly, it was traditional superstar basketball. Coach Anzai was very good at this tactic. He coached Tanizawa in college, and Tanizawa was considered a star player in college. Coach Anzai copied all the tactics of that year to Xiangbei High School.
However, this kind of superstar basketball also has a fatal flaw, that is, when the core player of the team is not in good touch, or his singles are not good enough to be "unsolvable", the team's offensive efficiency will suffer a Waterloo.
Although Xiangbei has never faced such a situation, since the weakness has appeared, they need to find a way to make up for it. Budo is still quite wary of Ryonan High School. After all, there is a player there with terrifying one-on-one defense ability.
After the practice match with Ryonan, it is very likely that the offensive weakness of Xiangbei has been caught by Ryonan High School. With Shinomiya Tano in Ryonan, as long as the other players know how to cooperate, they can greatly limit the offensive efficiency of Budo.
In order to make up for this defect and enrich Xiangbei's offensive methods, Budo hopes that Xiangbei High School will practice the triangle offensive tactics, practice this tactic to help the Bulls, help the future Lakers, and establish a dynasty.
The triangle offense, to put it simply, is to let the three offensive players form a stable triangle when they are in position in the frontcourt. There is a vertex in the inside line, a vertex near the bottom corner three-point line, and then a vertex at 45 degrees from the three-point line.
Three players in three positions form a stable triangle, forming a strong side area for offense. When attacking, the basketball is fully transferred between these three people. The finishing ball can be executed by any of these three people.
At the same time, when attacking, the other two players roam the court, and form two moving triangles with the players at 45 degrees and inside players to expand the offensive range, but the offensive ability of these two players will be slightly weaker, and the number of ball possessions will be much less. More importantly, they play the role of restraining defense and assisting offense.
The strong offensive triangle of Xiangbei High School is composed of Takenori Jinguji, Hisashi Mitsui, and Takenori Akagi. When the three of them are on the same side of the court, the firepower of this side will be increased to the peak, and at the same time, most of the opponent's defensive force will be involved.
Take Xiangbei's current triangle offense tactics as an example.
The offense is generally initiated by Takenori Akagi in the interior with the ball. If he has the advantage one-on-one in the interior, he will hold the ball and go it alone. If he does not have the advantage or is facing double-teaming, he will pass the ball to Takeshi Jinguji or Mitsui Hisashi on the same side. If Miyagi or Chiba make an effective cut or are in an open position, the ball will be passed to these two people, and they will complete the finish.
When the inside attack is blocked, most of the time the ball will be handed over to Jinguji Budou, who will take on the "responsibility ball".
At this time, Wudao will do military training singles in the high post. Similarly, if he faces double-teaming, he will pass the ball to the open position. At this time, the person who will double-team Wudao is basically the closest person to defend Mitsui Shou. At this time, Mitsui Shou will attack from the outside.
But if there is no chance to pass the ball, then Wudao will rely on his personal ability to force the shot.
So, this is also called "responsibility ball", the responsibility ball of the ace!
A stable strong triangle combined with multiple moving weak triangles, this is the full picture of Xiangbei's triangle offense.
This seemingly perfect tactic actually places very high demands on the players, especially on the inside players and the personal abilities of the ace.
Over the years in the NBA, only two teams have successfully built dynasties, which is closely related to the high standards of execution required by this tactic.
Jordan and Pippen in the Bulls era, the OK combination in the Lakers era, and the Kobe and Gasol combination in the post-Lakers era.
These teams that used the triangle offense to build dynasties all had two characteristics.
One of the league's top singles scorers; a high-level supporting player or an inside player who can wreak havoc in the paint.
On the basis of these two conditions, a stable outside scorer, a point guard with certain independent offensive capabilities, and a defensive gate are needed to assist.
When all conditions are met, you can start practicing the triangle offense.
When Budo entered Shohoku as a freshman in high school, Shohoku did not have such conditions. The main reason was that the inside player Akagi Sora had an excellent physique but a big gap in basketball skills.
However, after all this time of training, Akagi Takenori, who is now in his third year of high school, has become much more mature in terms of technique and mentality than before, and is still able to stand out on the court as an inside pillar.
Although his personal offensive skills are still not superb, Akagi has a good vision and excellent physical condition in high school, which is enough to take on the corresponding support and low-post singles work in the triangle offense.
The most important task of Xiangbei's training during this period is to let Akagi get familiar with his new role and adapt to the situation of holding the ball in the low post.
On the court, the Xiangbei players finished warming up and began to prepare for the team practice match.
Jinguji Budo, Mitsui Hisashi, Akagi Takenori, Chiba Oishi, and Miyagi Ryouta were a team of five. Their opponents were the first-year players who had just fought against Teiko Junior High School, except that Oda Ryumasa was replaced by Rukawa Kaede.
The triangle attack tactic is not only practiced by senior students like Wudao, but also by Sakuragi Hanamichi and others who need to practice this offensive tactic.
Like Wudao and his team, Sakuragi Hanamichi and his team also have the tactical characteristics of the triangle attack.
The three of Nango Koichirō in the inside, Rukawa Kaede who is good at holding the ball on the outside, and Katsume Ichirō who is good at shooting, can form a strong offensive triangle.
Sakuragi's defense, rebounding ability, and now his sometimes-effective mid-range shooting have brought more offensive changes to the team. Kiyota Nobunaga has also been training a lot in mid-range shooting during this period, and he and Sakuragi are also part of the triangle offense.
On the court, Takenori Akagi overpowered Koichiro Minamigo during the jump ball and was the first to pass the ball to his team.
After Miyagi got the ball, he pressed behind the team. The triangle offense is a product of positional warfare, and it can only be carried out after the center is in position, so Miyagi's advancement speed is not fast. Not long after Akagi was in position, Miyagi slowly entered the front court, passed the ball sideways, and gave the ball to Jinguji Budo.
For the first years, the difficult task of defending Jinguji Budo was given to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
At this moment, Sakuragi's face no longer had the relaxed look it had before. He stood in front of Wudao with a serious face and a defensive posture.
"Sakuragi, don't be so nervous!"
"Relax. Your muscles are too tense. Your defensive movements will be distorted in this state."
Budou looked at Sakuragi's defensive posture and said with a smile. While he was speaking, Jinguji Budou suddenly started, a simple forward rush followed by a forward change of direction and a backward step, instantly creating a distance of two body lengths between him and Sakuragi Hanamichi who was anxiously chasing after him.
Wudao, who was in a wide-open position, looked at Sakuragi with a smile, then he exerted force with both hands and passed the ball directly to Akagi in the inside without choosing to shoot himself.
The basketball fell into the hands of Takenori Akagi. With his back to the basket, Akagi directly hit Koichiro Minamigo. The huge force pushed Minamigo back a step, and then Akagi half-turned under the basket and finished with a hook shot.
It was a simple and smooth attack, with the senior team scoring first.
"What's going on? Xiangbei's ace had a chance to shoot, so why did he pass the ball? Doesn't he have the ability to shoot three-pointers?"
"It's so easy to score in the paint. That gorilla-looking player is so strong!"
The senior's easy score caused the Teiko players watching the game to exclaim in surprise, and discussions filled the entire rest area.
