Chapter 72: Sanjing, You Have to Work Hard
Telling Akagi, Mumu, and Miyagi not to forget to practice during the holidays, Shen Long left Mitsui alone, "Mitsui, how do you plan to spend your holiday?"
"I feel that I have almost recovered, and I want to use the time of vacation to increase some training." Mitsui said breathlessly. Now he regrets that he has delayed two years, and every minute before the start of the competition is precious.
"Then, if it's convenient, you can come to my house during the holidays, and I can continue to urge you to train. Practicing alone without someone to guide you is prone to problems." Now that Mitsui has recovered, special training can begin.
"Okay, no problem, I will trouble you!" Mitsui bowed at ninety degrees again.
Mitsui Shou went home to pick up some daily necessities, and went to Coach Anxi's house early the next morning. Coach Anxi's house was quite big, so having Mitsui Shou too much would not affect him at all.
Mrs. Anxi brought Mitsui a nutritious breakfast, which was specially prepared for him according to Shen Long's instructions. The formula was provided by Coach Ma Bo. It is said that it is a high-tech formula from a famous American high school basketball school, and the nutrition is absolutely sufficient.
"Let's start after breakfast. You have to be prepared to endure hardships." The focus of Mitsui's training is physical fitness, and Shen Long is going to come up with the extreme training method of Kamesenjin.
"As long as I can make up for the time lost in the past, I am willing to suffer any hardship." Mitsui Shou hurriedly ate breakfast, and then started training with Shen Long. Shen Long drove slowly behind Mitsui Shou and started the first training session , jogging for ten kilometers along the Shonan coast.
After running five kilometers, Mitsui Shou began to be out of breath. Shen Long poked his head out of the car window and shouted loudly, "Isn't this going to work? How can you lead Xiangbei to defeat Mu Shenyi, Fujima and Xiandao in this way? Entering the national competition? Don’t you want to make up for the regrets of the past two years? Is this what it looks like?”
"Coach, I can do it!" Mitsui gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again.
After three kilometers, the steps under my feet became more and more faltering, and my lungs were burning. It felt like it was burning. Why don't you stop and rest for a while? As soon as this idea came up, the scene on the rooftop appeared in Mitsui Shou's mind that day, no, it can't be like this, I have already disappointed Coach Anxi once, this time I can't let him down again!
With a thud, Mitsui Shou fell to the ground, but the ten-kilometer practice had been completed, Shen Long got out of the car, opened a specially configured sports drink and handed it to Mitsui Shou, "Come, take a couple of sips to add some salt, and then I will give you Massage recovery."
Mitsui Shou gulped down a few gulps, and then lay on the mat Shen Long handed over to receive the massage. After a period of unbearable pain, Mitsui Shou regained some strength.
"Next, leapfrog back to Xiangbei High School from here." Recalling the scene of training with Guixianren in the past, it really seems like yesterday, but I didn't expect that now it is myself urging others to train.
"Frog jump back to school from here!" Hisashi Mitsui sweated wildly, it must be at least two kilometers, right?
"That's right, if you want to make up for the time wasted in the past, you have to work harder than others." Shen Long didn't show mercy at all.
Leapfrog returned to school, and then ran back and forth around the trees around the stadium for a few laps. Shen Long gave Mitsui Shou a massage again, especially for his injured knee, and let him rest for a while before starting the next round. One training—three-point shooting, this is Mitsui Hisashi's trump card, and he must not relax, "Next, I will pass the ball to you, and you will shoot immediately after catching the ball, and it will end after hitting a thousand three-pointers."
"Coach, I'll do it myself." Mitsui Shou said quickly, fearing that Shen Long would be tired.
"This training is not just for three-pointers. Catching and running are equally important. You can't train by yourself. Don't worry, I will stop when I get tired." Shen Long's physical strength is much better than that of Coach Anxi. Don't worry about being tired.
"The top of the arc!" Shen Long shouted out the position, and Mitsui Shou ran quickly,
As soon as he got to the position, the ball came over. Hisao Mitsui caught the ball, bent his knees, raised the ball, and shot. His movements were done in one go. The basketball went into the net.
"The bottom corner on the right...the forty-five-degree angle on the left...the bottom corner on the left..." Following Shen Long's shouts, Mitsui Shou ran fast on the court, shooting again and again, hitting again and again.
Take a break every time you hit a hundred three-pointers. During the fifth training session, the speed and position of Shen Long's passing changed. Hisao Mitsui became more and more uncomfortable receiving the ball. This is not because Shen Long's physical strength can't keep up. , but deliberately.
"Forty-five degrees on the right side!" This pass was a bit big, and Mitsui Shou ran to a position one meter away from the three-point line before receiving it, and then took a step forward before shooting.
"Stop! Mitsui, why are you taking a step forward!" Shen Long called to stop the training.
"Because... because it's still a little far from the three-point line." Mitsui Shou explained breathlessly.
"Don't you have the confidence to hit this position?" Shen Long asked rhetorically, "Opportunities are fleeting on the field, and the time you take one step forward is enough time for the defender to post it. One is a close-point defensive shot, and the other is It's an open shot from a little farther, which option do you think has a better percentage?"
"Shoot from a slightly farther open spot." Mitsui seemed to understand.
In this era, players are still relatively conservative in their thinking. Three-pointers like Curry have not yet appeared, but this does not mean that Mitsui Shou does not have the ability to go far. With this technology, I believe Mitsui Shou can do it too.
"Long-range three-pointers can not only get easier shooting space, but also put more pressure on the opponent and open up the defensive space. When the opponent's defensive zone expands beyond the three-point line, the inside will become weak. At that time Here comes Akagi's opportunity." Shen Long explained, "Mitsui, forget about the existence of the three-point line, and you can shoot wherever you are confident."
"Coach, I understand!" Mitsui took two steps back and made a shot. The basketball knocked twice on the rim and rolled off the net. The words just now opened a new door for him, and his vision became wider. stand up.
At noon, Anxi Fried Chicken Restaurant brought them takeaways. Shen Long himself ate delicious fried chicken. For athletes, it is not good to consume excess fat and salt. Mitsui Shou only had boiled chicken breasts. Poor Mitsui Shou looked at the fried chicken with envy, coach, I want to eat fried chicken.
The end of the three-point shooting is the basic pace and running practice, and the training does not end until before dinner.
After dinner, the next training session started again.
"Ah, coach, does reading count as special training?" Seeing the books, Mitsui grew up.
"In the past two years, you not only gave up basketball but also your studies. You must know that if you fail more than four subjects, you will not be able to participate in the national competition. You can figure it out!"
