Miuradai Private High School in Kanagawa Prefecture.
At the school gate, a middle-aged man was pacing anxiously.
His name was Coach Harris, and he was the basketball coach of Miuradai High School.
He had been looking forward to this day since he saw a video of a basketball game sent to him by an old friend a month ago.
Swish!
A few minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of him.
When Coach Harris saw Alex Walker getting out of the car, he immediately stepped forward excitedly.
"Haha! Alex, you're finally here!"
"Hello, Coach Harris!" Alex replied in Japanese very fluently.
On the way here by car, Alex continued to search his mind for memories of this life and finally recalled some very critical content.
The original owner of this body in this life was also called Alex Walker, who came to Japan with his father a year ago.
Moreover, the original owner of this body was also a basketball fanatic, even more passionate than Alex in his previous life.
From childhood to adulthood, nothing else could make him excited except basketball, including the confession of girls.
In the past year, Alex led the basketball team of his junior high school to win eighth place in the national competition.
You should know that this junior high school was still a weak team that could not even make it out of the county meeting last year. Just with the addition of Alex, it suddenly became one of the top eight in the country. Although it is only a junior high school level competition, it can also fully illustrate Alex's personal strength.
Alex's father in this life is an entrepreneurial maniac. He took advantage of the reform and opening up and became one of the first people in China to get rich. Then he quickly expanded his business abroad, and the first stop was Japan.
Alex's father is a friend of a director of Miuradai High School. So naturally, Alex was introduced to Miuradai High School.
After all, this high school is very close to home, the campus environment and various facilities are good, and more importantly, the strength of the basketball team is also quite good in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The above is the background.
As the head coach of the Miuradai High School basketball team, Coach Harris, although his coaching ability is quite average, has a big heart. He always wants to break the situation in Kanagawa Prefecture where the two strong teams of Hainan and Shohoku fight each other for more than ten years, and the rest of the teams are all foils, so he has been trying to strengthen the team in the past two years.
With his efforts, the team's main scorer Ken Mura has become more mature, and the secret weapon Ted Naito has reached the level of being able to play after a year of training.
The only thing missing in the team now is a strong point guard.
Although Kaz Araki is barely strong enough to start, he still cannot satisfy Harris.
So now he hopes to have a strong point guard to completely unleash the scoring ability of Ken Mura and activate the great power of Ted Naito under the basket.
All these beautiful ideas were completely ignited after he watched the video of Alex's game.
"I must get this guy!" This was the only thought Harris had after watching the video.
He was able to drag a team that couldn't even get out of the county meeting to the top eight in the country by himself. Such strength is enough to completely beat the current main point guard Araki in the team.
As long as Alex organizes and drives, the potential of Ken Mura and Ted Naito will be fully activated. Miuradai can definitely beat Shohoku and even Hainan and enter the national competition!
It is precisely because of this that Coach Harris will put down his posture and show such a polite attitude to a kid who is only fifteen years old.
Of course, Alex didn't know what Coach Harris was thinking. He just wanted to play basketball quickly to try out the power of his new body!
Under the leadership of Coach Harris, the two walked towards the Miuradai High School basketball hall. Along the way, they talked about some topics related to basketball. Alex's clear thinking and conversation made Coach Harris appreciate this young man even more.
Walking into the basketball hall, although it is still a holiday and there is still a whole week before school starts, the players of the basketball team have been forced by the coach to end their vacation and come to the basketball hall on time every day for training.
Seeing the coach bringing over an unfamiliar person, all the players looked at Alex curiously.
Looking at the strange yet familiar face in front of him, Alex's heart was filled with emotion.
Miuradai basketball team, this is a team that played a supporting role in the original work and then completely disappeared.
Although the performance of this team in the original work was quite bad, and it was completely defeated by Shohoku in the first round of the county meeting in the plot year, Alex did not think that Miuradai was a weak team at all.
First of all, in the background story, Miuradai was eliminated by Hainan last year. That is to say, this team has made it all the way to the top eight in the county.
Secondly, the average height of this team is over 185 cm, and even the point guard Kaz Araki is a tall man. Looking at the entire Kanagawa, I am afraid that only Shohoku can compete with such an average height.
Thirdly, the players of this team are not just tall guys who are useless. Ken Mura has a very good impact, and Ted Naito's physical fitness can be ranked in the top three in the entire Kanagawa. The strength of the other players is also at an average level.
The reason why they were eliminated by Shohoku in the first round in the plot year can only be blamed on their poor dribbling and the fact that they happened to meet the team where the protagonist is.
Naito has a strong body, Ken Mura has skills, and the other players are tall. There are no particularly prominent thorns in the whole team, and they are relatively obedient.
If Miuradai can practice tactics well and fight defensive positional battles, it will definitely not lose to any strong team in the county.
Moreover, the school was chosen by his rich father, and he has no choice. He might as well keep his mentality as calm as possible.
Now no matter what cards fate deals him, with his current abilities, Alex has the confidence to play the cards well!
"Everyone gather!!"
At the call of Coach Harris, all the Miuradai players in the gym quickly gathered towards the coach's place, and the thirteen people consciously stood in a row according to the order of height.
When everyone gathered and stood at attention, Coach Harris nodded with satisfaction, and then cleared his throat.
"Ahem! Today I will introduce a new teammate to everyone! Alex, introduce yourself."
"Okay."
Alex took a step forward, and waited for everyone to look at him before he slowly spoke.
"E... Hello everyone! My name is Alex Walker, I am an international student from the United States, I am 188 cm tall, 86 kg in weight, and I am good at point guard. I will officially become a member of Miuradai High School in a week, so I came to say hello to the seniors in advance."
"Although Alex has only been in Japan for one year, in the last year of junior high school, he led his junior high school basketball team directly to the top eight in the country. His strength definitely meets the requirements for joining our team. I hope everyone will work together and we must take revenge on Hainan this year!"
"Yes!!"
All the remaining players responded loudly.
They are naturally warmly welcome to have a strong teammate. What's more, Alex is a master who can lead the team to the top eight in the country.
Although it is only at the junior high school level, it also requires rounds of games to fight all the way.
"Okay, in order to let Alex and everyone know each other's strengths better, everyone will warm up for ten minutes now, and I will arrange an internal competition in ten minutes!"
Coach Harris ordered directly.
Ding Dong—!
As soon as Coach Harris finished speaking, Alex heard a system prompt sound coming from deep in his mind.
