Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

In September, colleges and universities officially opened, and the empty campuses were immediately filled with crowds of people. After two months, the campuses regained their popularity.

After the national competition, the Xiangbei basketball team took a break and regrouped after the start of school.

Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai stood in front of the crowd, and the person next to him was no longer Takenori Akagi, but Tokuo Horita.

After winning the national championship, Akagi, Mugure, and Mitsui have already obtained special recruitment quotas for the University of Tokyo. The three will continue to cooperate in college and compete in the university league. Although they are no longer under pressure to enter higher education, they still decided to quit the basketball team. Make room for the reserve players of Xiangbei to participate in the winter selection. Accelerate the running-in of the team. In preparation for the national summer competition next year. As for the other two third-year players, Hasegawa and Horita, Hasegawa quit the basketball team and focused on preparing for the exam. He plans to be admitted to the University of Tokyo and continue to cooperate with Mugure and the other two to compete in the university competition. Horita Tokuo knows that his talent and ability are limited, so he decided not to play basketball after graduating from high school. The remaining few months will be his last days of playing basketball, and he will use his experience to motivate the young Xiangbei players. Although Mugure and the other two quit the basketball team, after the national competition, the Kanagawa Sports Association specifically found Akagi, Mitsui, and Mugure, hoping that the three could participate in the Autumn National Sports Competition and win honor for Kanagawa. Mugure and the other two naturally agreed and stayed in the basketball team temporarily, participating in daily training to maintain their condition.

Seeing that the players were almost all there, Tokuo Horita began to speak. The general content of his speech was to strive for the victory of the winter selection tournament. Because the other four players of Murasakibara would no longer participate in the winter selection tournament, Shohoku's strength was relatively weakened, and he required the players to train harder.

In the original novel, during the early and middle stages of Akagi's leadership of Shohoku, he was eager to improve the team and his requirements were too strict, which caused the basketball team at the time to fall into a crisis of personnel decline. Many students who had a casual and entertainment mentality really couldn't get along well with Akagi like that.

Today, the team's excellent performance has not only aroused the players' unprecedented enthusiasm for basketball, but also stabilized everyone's hearts.

Horita's speech full of personal fighting spirit ended, and soon after, Coach Anzai walked slowly from the side to the front of the crowd.

Coach Anzai said slowly: "You should have heard that the National Games will be held in October. And this year, our Xiangbei team will also participate in the autumn national games to compete for the honor of Kanagawa."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd below was boiling with excitement.

"National Games? Do you mean the Autumn National Games, one of the three major events?"

"Of course!"

"I didn't expect that we were invited. In the past, only Hainan's team participated." said a first-year reserve player

"You don't know that Kanagawa formed a joint team last year and made it to the semi-finals, but we were not recruited last year for various reasons," the sophomore Katsumi corrected the freshman's mistake.

"We, Xiangbei, won the championship this year. If we had participated, wouldn't it have been easier for us to win the championship?"

"Hehe, with a genius like me leading the team, other teams are no match for us. Dad, why don't we, Shohoku, represent Kanagawa in the competition?" Sakuragi suggested

"Shut up! The Kanagawa Sports Association has already issued a notice requiring each team to send players to participate in the Autumn National Games. This time we are here to win glory for Kanagawa, not for Shohoku. Don't treat the Autumn National Games as a joke." The former captain Akagi Takenori scolded Sakuragi with a dark face, but this time he did not use his fists to teach Sakuragi a lesson.

"Okay. Everyone, be quiet," Coach Anzai said. After the players calmed down, he said, "Akagi Takenori, Mitsui Hisashi, Kogure Kiminobu, Katsumi Ichiro, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kiyota Nobunaga, and Mito Yohei, the seven of you will report to Hainan University at nine o'clock next Wednesday to participate in the training camp before the National Games."

The announcement stopped, and the scene fell into a brief silence, followed by an even more heated discussion.

As the new national champion, the Kanagawa Sports Association will naturally give priority to selecting players from Xiangbei. Akagi, Mitsui, Mugure, and Katsumi, the four main players who participated in two national competitions, are naturally selected. Sakuragi Hanamichi, the super rookie of the national competition, will naturally not be forgotten. Mito Yohei also had a brilliant performance in the national competition and was selected for the training list. Hasegawa Kazushi was also among the invitations. After receiving the notice, Coach Anzai contacted Hasegawa. Hasegawa still insisted on preparing for the exam and gave up this opportunity. Coach Anzai had to tell the association the truth, and the Sports Association could not force it. First, after all, Hasegawa was just a role player and was not very important; second, they also knew that students still focused on their studies, especially third-year students. Out of respect for Coach Anzai, the Sports Association asked: Is this quota reserved for other players of Xiangbei or given to other teams? Coach Anzai also didn't want to give this quota to other schools. After all, his players still need to play more games to hone their skills. So Kiyota came into his sight.

"Coach, are you the head coach for this autumn national sports game?" Mitsui asked.

"Oh, Mitsui-san, I'm the head coach of the Kanagawa team." Coach Anzai nodded.

"Great"

Kanagawa Sports Association learned from last year's lesson. With so many star players from different schools gathered together, they needed a person of high moral character to calm the situation, and Coach Anzai was the best candidate. Coach Anzai originally wanted to decline due to health reasons, but they also took this into consideration. Tanaka and Takato were appointed as assistant coaches to assist Coach Anzai. They were responsible for daily training of the players and other matters, while Coach Anzai was only responsible for on-site command. So, Coach Anzai agreed to the Sports Association and became the head coach.

Hainan Affiliated High School

"Maki Shinichi, Kamiso Ichiro, Naito Tetsuya, you three are selected for the autumn national sports training camp." Gao Tou Li was a little disappointed when he saw the list. In the past, the Hainan team was the main force, but this time... But it was also expected. Hainan only made it to the top 16 this time, and the results were dragging down. A third-year Ah Mu has long been famous, so he doesn't have to worry about not being recruited by a university. At worst, he can go directly to Hainan University.

Ryonan High School

"Jun Uozumi, Akira Sendoh, Ryouta Miyagi, Tomokazu Goshiro, and Koichiro Nango, the five of you have been selected for the Autumn National Sports Training Camp." Compared to Gaotou's gloom, Shigeichi Tanaoka seemed to be in high spirits. The Ryonan board of directors was very happy with the national third place result. Not only did they renew the contract with coach Tanaoka in advance, they also made a promise: they would increase investment in the basketball team. The selection of all five starting players is also an affirmation of Ryonan. As mentioned in the previous article, Uozumi received an admission letter from the university and did not retire like in the original work. However, like Akagi, he gave up the captain's position. Now the captain of Ryonan is Sendoh

Green Wind High School

"Mike Okita, Ming Gaoguang, Rukawa Kaede, you three have been selected for the autumn national sports training camp," Coach Ofuna announced the list calmly. The school made it to the national competition in its first year, and made it through the group stage, but was eliminated in the round of 16 due to an early encounter with Sanwang Industrial. The school was also quite satisfied with the team's performance. The selection of the trident was also expected.

Xiangyang High School

"The two of us from Hanagata have been selected for the autumn national sports training camp." Due to not making it to the national competition, Coach Tateyama resigned. Currently, the head coach has not yet been determined, and Fujima will temporarily serve as the coach. Just like the original, all of Shoyo's third-year students stayed to participate in the winter trials, striving to achieve good results.

In this way, the Kanagawa training camp team officially assembled. After ten days of training, after the 15-man roster was finalized, they will embark on the road to compete for the championship!
