In "Slam Dunk", Akagi Gangxian's character design has indeed undergone some changes. The main reason is that Mitsui Shou temporarily decided to wash his name, so the overall lineup of Xiangbei has changed, and Akagi, as the core of the team, has made corresponding adjustments.
Originally, the lineup of the Xiangbei team was the four main forces of Akagi + Sakuragi + Rukawa + Miyagi, as well as Mu Dui, a three-point shooter who was not good at the time, to form the starter (Inoue also considered letting Yohei play a quarterback), and the waste material league such as the Tsunoda Emperor who had not opened his eyes was responsible for eating melons on the bench.
But after Mitsui decided to wash his name, the character set given was still very tall, and the MVP of Takeshi was much higher than that of Akagi, so there would be a situation of fighting between the two heroes in the first year of high school.
At first, Mitsui had the absolute advantage, but Akagi soon took advantage of his innate advantage to suppress Mitsui, who only had skills, and finally let Mitsui run away in discouragement, until the vengeful destroyer returned to the basketball arena.
This episode highlights three important points:
First, Akagi's starting point is extremely low, and he can't even dribble in the high one;
Second, Akagi has a very high level of understanding, and he can find the feeling by playing, and use his own advantages to be the MVP of the blood cap;
Third, in the prefectural tournament a few months later, Akagi already has the ability to lead the team alone, and his performance on the basketball court is enough to make Mitsui feel that he will not love anymore.
But there are also some contradictions with Akagi's appearance, first of all, the chief martial arts master of Shenxian Prefecture, Tatsuhiko Aota, said that Akagi has been practicing since elementary school. And in Haruko's memories, Akagi Junior High School has already shocked the Kanagawa basketball world with violent dunks.
A super obsessive who has practiced for more than ten years, and has top physical fitness, but in the first year of high school, he is a super big rough brother, with no technical content at all, except for dunking, and is evaluated by Mitsui as similar to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The question is, Sakuragi started from zero in the first year of high school, and did Akagi also stand still in the zero position for more than ten years ago?
In addition, if Akagi has the ability to lead his Yu belly teammates to play decently in just a few months, then his talent should be a lot higher than Sakuragi.
Because even after Sakuragi awakens to the Mountain King War, his positioning is a super blue-collar worker, and his assistance defense and frame protection are full, but he has no ability to lead the team at all, and the offensive end is a lot worse than Akagi (Akagi can score three points when he trains).
If you want to force an explanation, you can only find a breakthrough in Coach Anzai.
Although Akagi has been practicing basketball hard, because he has no guidance from a master, he basically only eats with his body.
Moreover, Akagi's development status is a bug-like existence in the neon country, so his height tonnage alone is enough to cope with the competition at the elementary and middle school levels.
But Akagi's North Village is also a super big fish belly, and Akagi's junior high school is also fishing every year after a round in three years, but he is invincible in his position, so his ball skills have not been honed, and he will only bring his own three-plate axe in high school.
The first time I played against a technical player in high school, I was abused all over the place. But he also got the guidance of Coach Anzai, began to play various patches, and his ball skills were improved openly, and he became a qualified center in a short period of time, and his skills such as back play, defense and frame protection were directly full.
It's a pity that I still can't bring this kind of garbage brigade in Xiangbei, so I have a round of tours for two consecutive years.
Although the team has a belly, but with the blessing of Anxi, a national player, Akagi's own ability is getting stronger and stronger, and he has officially become the NO1 in Shenxian County and the super C of the national TOP3 in the third year of high school.
In the plot year, except for Masashi Kawada and Mori Shigekuan, no one can suppress Akagi in the center position.
