Most training starts with running, because jogging is a relatively versatile and effective warm-up exercise in high school.
The freshmen who just joined the Zhengbang Basketball Club today have long heard that the training intensity of high school basketball is not at the same level as that of junior high school, but they never expected that this was just a warm-up, and Zhengbang gave them such a great training
A show of force.
"Huchi~huchi~I'm so tired, I feel like I can't breathe."
"No, how long do we have to run?"
"Huh~huh~ The pace is too fast. Is this really just a warm-up?"
On the 400-meter playground, Zhengbang's main players maintained a neat line and led the way, while the formation of the first-year freshmen behind them was already in chaos.
Some people are already lagging behind by more than half a lap. Some are even about to be overtaken by the main third-year Zhengbang team behind them.
However, less than fifteen minutes have passed since practice started.
To know.
Except for a few talented newcomers, the players who can pass Zhengbang's selection have basically gone through very hard training in junior high schools. Let's not talk about their competition results, but in terms of physical fitness, none of these players are bad.
But now...
"So strong, so strong! Only at this moment did I really feel how lucky we were to win that game yesterday." A freshman who was on the same team as Akashi Asuka yesterday watched.
Looking at the back of the third-year member riding a horse in front of him, he gasped.
"I'm just saying, is there a possibility that winning the game yesterday actually has little to do with us." Another freshman beside him said hesitantly.
"Shut up, you don't need to remind me about this kind of thing!" the first freshman became angry.
"But having said that, those two guys are indeed 'monsters' who can defeat the third-year seniors! They have just joined the club and can keep up with the training of the seniors. Geniuses are indeed extraordinary!"
Some freshmen sighed and looked up ahead. They saw that in the main third-year team of Zhengbang, there were two freshmen, one large and one small, who had been closely following the team since the beginning of training and never fell behind.
Seeing Asuka Akashi and Tomoki Tsugawa closely following the formation, Tsutomu Iwamura and several other third-year members were also a little surprised.
After a while.
Coach Matsumoto Ikken stopped the first grade: "Okay, the first grade's jogging is over here, now let's do some warm-up activities! The second and third graders will continue running."
"Ah~~~I feel like I almost died!"
Just after Matsumoto Ikken shouted to stop, the first-year students were seen collapsed on the roadside, breathing in fresh oxygen.
"It's terrible! Are these second- and third-year members still human? They have been running at this frequency for so long, and they don't even mess up their formation?"
"I have heard a little bit. It is said that the training here in Zhengbang is carried out by grade. The annual training is based on the first grade. The training amount for the second grade is twice that of the first grade, and the training amount for the third grade is three times...
··An analogy can be made from this.”
"No way! Seriously, doesn't that mean Iwamura-senpai and the others have to travel twice as far as we do?"
"Hey~~ What are those two guys doing? The first-year warm-up is over, why are they still following the formation of the third-years?" At this moment, someone discovered that Akashi Asuka and Tsugawa Tomoki were still following.
Behind the line, there was no stopping.
"Did these two people not hear what the coach said? Do you want to remind them?"
"Let me remind you! There will be other training programs later, so you should save some energy now..."
Someone said something, and then stood up. When Akashi Asuka and Tsugawa Tomoki passed by, they said loudly: "Hey! Akashi-kun, Tsugawa-kun, the first grade jogging is over, you can stop.
"
Akashi Asuka, who was running, didn't respond. He just turned his head and glanced at them, waved to indicate that he knew, and then ran after the third grade.
The behavior of the two people immediately shocked the other first-year students, and they seemed unable to realize what they meant.
Until someone said: "The two of them are not planning to continue training with the third graders like this, are they?"
"Huh? How is this possible?"
"That's right! Although I admit that they are very strong, training and competition are two different things. The third grade has two years more training time than us. Even if they are geniuses, it is impossible to keep up with the training of the third grade.
Be intense!”
"Furthermore, do geniuses work so hard? Aren't they able to improve their strength just by lying down?"
"······"
The first grade group suddenly fell silent.
I don't know how long it took.
A voice slowly sounded: "Then... what should we do next? Do you want to train with us?"
"I won't go. I'm too tired. I don't want to move at all now."
"I plan to train with them. Even if I may not be able to catch up with their training intensity, I will at least do everything I can do. I may not have the chance to play this year, but next year when the seniors retire, I will definitely win.
A dominant position."
In the blink of an eye.
The group of first-year students was quickly divided into two teams.
One of the teams formed a formation and continued to join the jogging. The other team stayed where they were.
In the distance, Matsumoto Ikken and Kitayama Yuzuki watched this scene without any intention of stepping forward to intervene.
However, it can be seen from the slightly raised corners of Matsumoto Ikken's mouth that he is obviously in a good mood at the moment.
"It seems that this year's newcomers have awakened earlier than before!"
"It's probably Akashi-kun and Tsugawa-kun who stimulated them! After all, compared to second- and third-year-old members, their peers are more likely to inspire their competitive spirit."
Maybe for the first-year students, it was just an accidental 'disagreement', but for Ikken Matsumoto, in fact, the choices of two different groups in the first-year class today have basically determined their future results.
As one of the "Three Kings of Tokyo", the Zhengbang Basketball Club is not an easy place to survive.
In fact, as long as these first-year students observe carefully, they will find that there are not many official second- and third-year players in Zhengbang. At least compared to the 'King' basketball club, this number can even be said to be pitifully small.
However, Zhengbang's recruitment process is very relaxed.
Just like this year's selection, it seemed very harsh, but in fact only two people were eliminated in the end.
Of these two people, one of them chose to give up after seeing the strength of the others. The other was eliminated simply because his physical condition was too poor and he really couldn't meet the requirements.
In this way.
Basically, Zhengbang's recruitment selection is almost all members passing.
But if the selection process is so relaxed, why are there only so few remaining members of the entire club by the second and third years?
The reason is simple.
That is, in the subsequent training, these people chose to give up...
