Chapter 770 [Does he want to give the newcomer a show? 】
After the players gathered in the arena and lined up, they introduced themselves. Yang Jian met "Gorilla" Takenori Akagi.
He does look a bit like an orangutan, and he has a lot of black features. His facial features and skin look like black people. He has no similarity at all to Haruko Akagi, which is outrageous.
Their father is an honest man, with a green grassland above his head. Or their grandmother's generation may have interacted with black people in the US military stationed in Japan.
This gene was latent and exploded in Takenori Akagi. According to the principle of First Blood, Haruko is also a black man. If she and Sakuragi Hanamichi were combined, they would definitely have a son with extraordinary talent.
It was Rukawa Kaede's turn to introduce himself, and he had a clear positioning of himself. "Rukawa Kaede, height 187cm, weight 75kg, mainly plays shooting guard and small forward."
After he played with Yang Jian, he realized that he was not good at playing inside, nor was he good at organizing passes. He became more low-key and would not say "I can play all positions" as soon as he opened his mouth.
Akagi paid special attention to Rukawa Kaede and asked one more question: "Rukawa Kaede, do you have any hobbies?"
If Rukawa Kaede says he likes beautiful women and bananas, Akagi can turn around and give away Sakuragi's gift.
Rukawa Kaede thought for a moment, frowned and said, "My interest... is to learn some new basketball techniques that I have never seen before."
Next came Sakuragi Hanamichi. He didn't challenge Akagi because he didn't know his own level and wouldn't regard himself as the captain's successor. He only introduced: "Sakuragi Hanamichi, height 188cm, weight 83 kilograms."
The last person to introduce himself was Yang Jian. "I am Yang Jian, a Chinese student from the United States. I am 193cm tall and weigh 90 kilograms. I mainly play point guard."
Everyone was stunned, including Rukawa Kaede.
Takenori Akagi took the noteboard and asked: "Are you sure you want to play point guard? Your height and weight are more suitable for playing power forward or center."
Yang Jian smiled and said: "In the United States, I am the main point guard and lead the team's offense. If the team needs me to defend the center, I can definitely defend it. On the offensive end, I like to control the ball and organize. I can't lie.
"
The senior players also introduced themselves, two from the juniors and four from the sophomores, one of whom is still hospitalized. The one in the hospital was Ryota Miyagi, who was 168cm tall and was beaten horribly.
"Ah, I'm late." A girl with a hot figure appeared at the door. She was wearing a simple short-sleeved T-shirt, half-length tights, her long curly hair was tied neatly behind her head, and she was wearing a sports cap.
He also carried a small medicine box in his hand.
"I am the team manager Caizi! I am in the second grade. Please give me your advice." Caizi greeted the new members.
"Amazing" is the first feeling that many people have when they first meet Ayako. Several of the first-year newcomers blushed. Such beautiful seniors with bulging front and back are not common.
Rukawa Kaede and Yang Jian are the exceptions. Rukawa Kaede is a straight man with a paralyzed face and cannot feel the charm of Cai Zi.
Yang Jian has seen too many beauties. He thinks Caiko is prettier than Haruko, mainly because she has a better figure, big eyes and thick lips, which makes her look sexier. But Caiko is also a petite type with a height of less than 160cm, which is not his cup of tea.
When she saw her junior, she put her hand on Rukawa Kaede's shoulder with a senior tone. "Rukawa Kaede! You're in! You seem to have grown taller again."
"Yeah." Rukawa Kaede replied lightly, still without any shyness or other emotions.
"Rukawa Kaede, like me, graduated from Tomigaoka Junior High School." Ayako added. It could be seen from her tone that she was very happy to continue being alumni with the handsome boy.
Caizi saw Yang Jian and Sakuragi Hanamichi look at each other a few more times. "It seems that we are going to rise this time. The quality of the newcomers is so strong. We have three tall players all of a sudden."
Yang Jian introduced himself again and shook hands with Ayako. Sakuragi Hanamichi also followed his example and introduced himself.
Rukawa Kaede sighed softly, no one would have thought that the real master was this elder brother, and Akagi Takenori's position as commander should be given up soon.
After the introduction, Akagi said seriously: "Before we start practicing, there is something we need to make clear first. Our goal this year is to dominate the country. The practice will be very strict. You'd better be aware of it, you know?"
The rookies were all shocked by Akagi's ambition, and the "old players" seemed a little excited too. Although Yang Jian had known that such a thing would happen, in reality, he still felt that this guy was a middle-class guy. After all, he was on the Sonics.
He is not as passionate as Akagi when it comes to boosting morale.
After running and warming up, Akagi arranged for the newbies to practice passing, and asked Ayako to teach Hanamichi Sakuragi how to practice basic dribbling. He arranged everything in an orderly manner. The third-year "glasses brother" Konobu Mugure took the practice, and he walked to Yang Jian
around.
"Yang, I heard that you are stronger than Rukawa Kaede. I would like to challenge you in a one-on-one battle. Is that okay?" Akagi asked.
"Of course you can, but I suggest you compete behind closed doors after training, otherwise you will be very embarrassed." Yang Jian smiled and said: "I'm not joking or provoking. You can ask Rukawa how he feels about playing against me."
Akagi was aroused to fight and hummed: "I am not a person who cannot afford to lose. If you can defeat me, it will be too late for me to be happy."
In the comics, Akagi has never challenged Rukawa Kaede to a duel. He is confident that he relies on his physical strength to hit Rukawa Kaede under the basket, and he is suspected of being a bully. Yang Jian is similar in height and weight to him, so the two of them can fight.
Yang Jian shrugged. "Well, anyway, I can't hide my strength all the time when I participate in team training, so I'll just play with you."
"Don't underestimate me, I advise you to go all out." Akagi snorted again. He is the leader of the basketball team and the number one center in Kanagawa. A newcomer actually underestimates him?
Yang Jian smiled and said: "I really don't underestimate you, forget it, I have heard similar words too many times."
The two of them went to the other half to get ready for a one-on-one duel, but Akagi even dared to let Yang Jian attack first.
Mugure went to the side and became a spectator, and Rukawa Kaede also stopped passing training and walked to the sidelines.
Caiko sighed: "Akagi actually took the initiative to find a newcomer to challenge him? Does he want to give the newcomer a show of strength? Rukawa, maybe it will be your turn soon."
"I don't want to duel with Yang, I just want to watch him play and learn some skills." Rukawa Kaede said seriously.
"You studied technology with him? Do you two know each other?" Mu Mu asked curiously.
"He is my neighbor. You will know immediately how strong he is. Akagi's defensive distance is too far."
"Yuan? He is..." Caizi was about to complain when she saw Yang Jian make a jump shot two meters outside the three-point line in the middle, and the ball hit the net hollowly.
"It's your turn." Yang Jian looked at the stunned Akagi and changed positions to the defensive side.
Akagi broke through with the ball in front of the frame. As soon as he entered the three-point line, he was blocked by Yang Jian. He protected the ball with his back and bumped into Yang Jian, but it didn't hit him. He dribbled the ball and turned to the left. Yang Jian judged correctly and swatted it away with his right hand.
Basketball, step forward and grab it.
Akagi was dumbfounded. He knew that Yang Jian was much stronger than him as soon as he tried it.
He used his back to push against Lingnan center Yu Zhuchun, who was 202cm tall and weighed 90kg. It was impossible for the opponent to remain motionless like Yang Jian. This was terrible.
Of course Yang Jian won't move. In his opinion, Akagi is not as strong as Jason Kidd. Kidd is 193cm tall and weighs 93kg. He is a point guard.
"It's my turn again." Yang Jian first passed the ball to Akagi, and after receiving the return pass, he said from outside the three-point line: "This time I break through and go to the right. Pay attention."
Akagi felt insulted, and veins were beating in his head.
You've told me all this, can I still let you go? Oops, I'll just go...
Yang Jian dribbled the ball from the hip of his left hand to his right hand, quickly started walking to the right, followed Akagi with another dribble, took two big steps to completely get rid of the defense, jumped up and smashed the ball with a flat-framed windmill!
A group of people were all stunned, including the four members of the Sakuragi Corps and Akagi Haruko who were outside the venue.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was practicing basic dribbling, didn't even know when the ball had dropped. He just stared at the court.
Caiko's jaw almost dropped. "What... what kind of slam dunk is this? Who is your neighbor?"
Rukawa Kaede said: "A Chinese student from the United States is said to be invincible in California. I suspect he knows Chinese Kung Fu, but he hasn't practiced it yet."
Mu Mu asked: "What will happen if he takes it seriously?"
"Akagi probably won't be able to score under his defense." Rukawa Kaede sighed. He and Yang Jian had nightmares that night, and Akagi probably wouldn't be much better.
