Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 12: The Top Four

After the match with Hainan, the players of Kitamura did not return to school, but stayed in the stadium to watch the next match in order to get to know the next opponent.

The next match is between the last champion Yokota Junior High School and Shonan Junior High School

"Last year, Yokota Junior High School had a pair of twin brothers. Thanks to the outstanding performance of these twin brothers, Yokota defeated Kainan and won the championship. Although Yokota's strength has weakened after the twins graduated, it should not be underestimated. Shonan Junior High School does not have any outstanding players and was only in the top 16 last year. Yokota has at least a 70% chance of winning this game." Coach Yoneda introduced the two teams to the players

Through observation, it seems that Yokota Junior High School does not have players as tall as Akagi, but the overall height of the players is relatively average. Including the point guard, the height is around 1.8 meters, and the center is 1.85 meters tall. In Shonan Junior High School, only the center can be compared with Yokota's center, and the other players are shorter than Shonan.

At the start of the game, Yokota fought for the ball. The point guard dribbled across half court and passed the ball to the small forward. The small forward tried to break through, but the small forward of Shonan Junior High School was not a pushover. Although he was not as tall as the opponent, he was very good at defense and ended up stealing the ball. Fortunately, Yokota's small forward reacted quickly and regained the ball.

"Ikegami, great defense. He was just that close to stealing the ball."

It turns out that he is Ikegami, the future defensive spearhead of Ryonan.

Yokota continued to attack slowly, using the cooperation of the power forward to score, and also caused the opponent to foul and hit the free throw.

"Murasame, good goal!" Yokota's fans also began to cheer.

After several rounds of competition, Mugure had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the players on both sides. Yokota still had the overall advantage, and there were several familiar faces from the plot years. Murasame and Araki from Miuradai, Hasegawa from Shoyo. However, Hasegawa was not only a defensive pioneer at this time, but also had good offensive ability. The center was Takano from Shoyo, no wonder his height was so outstanding, this was simply the junior high school version of Shoyo, and the only familiar faces from Shonan Junior High School were Ikegami and Takezono's captain Dai Ming. After a competition, Yokota defeated Shonan Junior High School 72:59 and entered the semi-finals.

The last match was between Takeishi and Shoyo Junior High School.

"Both teams are also favorites to win the championship. The ace player of Takeishi Junior High School is Mitsui Hisashi. Last year, Takeishi met Kainan in the semi-finals. Although they lost to Kainan, Mitsui, who was still a sophomore at the time, scored 32 points alone. Although he graduated from the third grade, the second-year student Katsumi joined the team. His offense also has the shadow of Mitsui. Although center Tokuo Horita's scoring is average, he has good defense and rebounding skills, and is a strong backup for the two. Shoyo Junior High School's advantage is in the interior. Center Hanagata and power forward Nagano are both over meters tall. Hanagata's skills are more delicate and his shooting ability is outstanding, while Nagano has good defensive ability. With two people attacking and defending, Shoyo's interior strength should not be underestimated."

The game has begun with the referee's whistle. Akagi and others in the audience are watching the battle between Takeishi Junior High School and Shoyo Junior High School attentively.

The battle on the field was intense and the score was very close. No lead exceeded 4 points. Both sides were chasing each other in defense and scoring.

"What a terrible touch!" Kitamura Junior High School players, including Mu Mu, were sweating. Although they knew Mitsui's strength, they were still shocked after watching Mitsui's game in person.

The score was 22:18, with Takeishi Junior High School leading by 4 points. Of the 22 points, Mitsui scored 15 points and shot 2 of . Not only was Mitsui's shooting touch good, but his defensive ability was also good, with steals. The Shoyo shooting guard who was facing him currently had an embarrassing zero except for turnovers.

"This Mitsui Shou is really unstoppable!" Akagi was filled with emotion. No matter it was the double-team of Shoyo Junior High School or any other kind of defense, Mitsui Shou could easily send the ball into the opponent's basket. The rhythm on the court completely followed Mitsui Shou, and Mitsui Shou's shooting was very smooth.

"Akagi, this is actually nothing to be surprised about! As a pitcher, as long as he can throw the ball in the right way, his hands will be so hot that he can send the ball into the basket no matter what kind of ball it is." Mumu said calmly, "But if this rhythm is disrupted, then everything will be hard to say."

Yes, in this game, no one could stop Mitsui's shooting. He kept scoring at his own pace, but the result was not a good thing.

He is like a newborn calf, he has never encountered a real tiger, he has never encountered a real strong enemy, only when he regains himself, surpasses himself, and changes himself in the face of setbacks, can he become a qualified pitcher, and now Mitsui Shou is obviously still very immature. (For details, please see episode 26, Mitsui was suppressed by Akagi's disrupted rhythm in the first year of high school, and he lost his composure and ended up ruining himself)

Although Mugure said this, he knew in his heart: Even if he knew there was a way to deal with Mitsui, who in the team had the ability to guard Mitsui? Himself? If it was in the previous life, it would be a small case, but compared with Mitsui who has been playing basketball for half a year, his strength is still far behind. And Takeishi has not only Mitsui, but also Katsumi. Although Katsumi did not play well, his performance of one-for-one two-pointers and one-for-three-pointers shows that his shooting skills are not much worse than Mitsui, but only his experience. Although Shoyo has an advantage in the interior, Tokuo Horita uses his body to make it difficult for Hanagata to score every time. Confrontation consumes more energy than simple shooting.

Sure enough, as time passed, although Mitsui's physical strength declined, Katsumi took over Mitsui's gun again. Shoyo's backcourt was unable to defend Mitsui and Katsumi at all, and Takeishi Junior High School was able to maintain its scoring firepower. On the other hand, although Shoyo had two 2-meter tall guys in the interior, Nagano's offensive methods were too crude. (In the game against Xiangbei in the third year of high school, he almost had no performance. Not to mention the junior high school years), and he didn't seize the three opportunities under the basket. Although he caused a foul, he missed all the free throws. He only contributed on the defensive end and gave Takeishi 66 blocks in the interior. Shoyo's offense was concentrated on Hanagata. Compared with Takeishi's double guns, Shoyo's offense was at a disadvantage. In the end, Takeishi defeated Shoyo 58:. The next round of the matchup is Takeishi vs. Kitamura!
