Chapter 104 Coach Kitano, Lieutenant Nan, Kishimoto

"Hey, Coach Kitano, what a coincidence!"

As soon as Coach Tian Gang saw the other party, he quickly stood up from his seat.

Although Coach Taoka has been living in Kanagawa Prefecture, he and Coach Kitano once had a relationship.

They met at a party and talked about each other's coaching philosophies.

"It turns out to be Coach Tian Gang, long time no see!"

Coach Kitano was stunned for a moment and finally recognized Coach Taoka.

This made Coach Taoka very relieved. He was really afraid that Coach Kitano would forget his name.

It must be said here that Coach Kitano’s real name was not given in the original work.

As for the age of Coach Kitano, there is also no exact number.

However, Coach Kitano and Coach Anzai are college classmates and were students at the same time. From this, it can be inferred that there is not much age difference between the two.

"Coach Kitano, you Fengyu has entered the national competition every year in the past few years. I am really envious of you."

Coach Taoka didn't talk about Toyotama's performance in the national competition because he thought it might displease Coach Kitano.

Although Toyotama has performed very well in the past few years, his results every year are almost the same, and he has never been able to break through to the top eight, as if he has missed a breath.

"Coach Taoka, you don't need to envy me now.

I heard that your Lingnan team not only defeated Hainan University, but also won the county championship. You don’t know how shocked I was when I heard the news. That was the famous Hainan King!"

Coach Kitano had a look of emotion on his face. He was not exaggerating. After all, it was Hainan, the king.

Coach Tian Gang was very happy. Coach Kitano praised Lingnan in person, which was undoubtedly his recognition.

Before Coach Tian Gang could be humble, suddenly, a slightly immature voice sounded: "Coach, we are in the same group as Lingnan, and we will probably meet in the second game."

The speaker was a young boy with a naive appearance and a shy smile on his face.

He is Nan Lie!

No one would have thought that this shy boy would eventually become the ‘Ace Killer’ after Coach Kitano was fired by the school.

It was only then that Coach Kitano realized that most of his players were still standing in the aisle, and hurriedly shouted: "Nan Lie, why are you still standing? Don't disturb others, why don't you sit down quickly?"

Under Coach Kitano's scolding, Toyotama players hurriedly looked for their seats.

Soon, Nanlie found his place.

Nanlie's position happened to be opposite Fujima, and beside him was Kishimoto Minori.

What a coincidence!

If history has not changed, in next year's national competition, Nan Lie will do whatever it takes to win, causing Fujima to be injured and end the game, which directly leads to Xiangyang's collapse.

After realizing that both Uozumi and Fujima were looking at him, Nanlie smiled shyly again.

"Hello, my name is Nan Lie, and he is my teammate Kishimoto. We are both freshmen at Toyotama High School."

When Nan Lie introduced, Kishimoto on the side showed a slightly honest smile.

He still has short hair now and looks like an honest man, not at all as unruly as he will be two years later.

It can only be said that environment makes people.

When Coach Kitano coached Toyotama, these two people had not gone bad.

Uozumi and Fujima looked at each other and began to introduce themselves.

"I am Kenji Fujima, a first-year student from Shoyo High School!"

"I am Uozumi Jun, a first-year student from Lingnan High School. Nice to meet you."

Nan Lie seemed to have remembered something, clapped his hands and said: "I just said, no wonder you look so familiar. Aren't you two of the Kanagawa Four Stars published in the last issue of "Basketball Weekly"? You are such a famous name that I have admired for a long time."

In the last issue, "Basketball Weekly" published an article specifically about Kanagawa Prefecture's four superstars, and they were also the cover characters of that issue.

However, even though they are both on the cover, there are distinctions between them. For example, Yuzhu is in the middle, surrounded by three other people, and is really in the C position.

At the same time, the article devoted the most space to Yuzhu, almost as much as the other three people combined.

"Yuzhu, I heard that you are still the MVP of the county competition, which really makes us envious."

Nan Lie looked very lively and cheerful, not at all as sinister as he would be in the future.

Before Uozumi could be humble, Kishimoto shouted angrily: "Hey, Nanlie, it's okay if you don't tell me, but I won't be happy if you tell me.

After all, you were selected for the best team in the county competition, but I didn't get anything, obviously my performance was no worse than yours."

"Tsk tsk, there must be a reason why you were not selected, such as your appearance!"

Nan Lie pointed at his face, but after seeing Fujima across from him, he immediately lost the idea of ​​continuing to tease Kishimoto.

In terms of appearance, Nan Lie is indeed not as good as Teng Zhen.

Soon, the four of them started chatting all over the world, mainly talking about the customs of different places.

How could Uozumi know this? He was either training or studying in Kanagawa Prefecture, and he never paid attention to this.

However, he is also willing to be a listener.

After chatting for a while, the four of them stopped and began to close their eyes and meditate.

It is 550 kilometers from Osaka to Kyoto, and it takes several hours to get there. Due to the devilish schedule, they must be mentally alert.

Suddenly, Fujima touched Uozumi lightly and asked softly: "Uozumi, do you have information about Coach Kitano?"

Upon hearing what Teng Zhen said, Yuzhu didn't know what he was thinking.

This guy hasn't given up on that idea yet!

But to be honest, Coach Kitano is quite suitable for Xiangyang.

Coach Kitano is best at run-and-gun tactics, and the current Xiangyang lineup is on average shorter in height and has the characteristics of being small and quick.

It is a pity that Xiangyang did not fully utilize his advantages, otherwise his strength might not be able to advance further.

"I do know a little bit."

Uozumi pondered for a moment and said: "Coach Kitano is a classmate of Coach Anzai. He is very senior and is best at run-and-gun tactics.

Under the coaching of Coach Kitano, Toyotama has become the dominant player in Osaka Prefecture in recent years.

Due to the run-and-gun tactics, Toyotama has become one of the most entertaining teams, scoring over 100 points in almost every game. With this set of tactics alone, Toyotama has become one of the top eight teams in the country. His coaching ability

It can be imagined.”

In fact, there is something that Uozumi did not say, that is, coach Kitano obviously pays more attention to offense.

When arranging training, Toyotama spends most of his time practicing offense, and the rest of the time he practices defense, and he mainly focuses on one-on-one marking.

Because of this, it was difficult for Toyotama, who focused more on offense than defense, to make further progress, which was also the main reason why coach Kitano was fired.

However, coach Kitano still stubbornly insisted on the run-and-gun tactics, which resulted in Toyotama never being able to break through to the quarterfinals.

Toyotama's senior management obviously had concerns about the national championship. They saw that Coach Kitano's tactics were single and his coaching philosophy was too idealistic and out of touch with the reality. They felt that Coach Kitano was not enough to help the team win the national championship.

Seeing Fujima who was deep in thought, Uozumi was too lazy to enlighten him and began to close his eyes to rest.
