Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"How do you feel?" The coach of Hainan University asked his players during the half-time break.

"Akagi is very strong, more comprehensive than the two centers yesterday. If he were to come to Hainan University, he would be fully qualified to be the starting center after I graduate." Fujino commented

"That red-haired boy is simply a monster, he is everywhere. His next move is impossible to predict. His physical fitness is bottomless. Although he has many loopholes due to his experience, if he is given two years to grow, his future will be limitless." The captain of Hainan gave Sakuragi a high evaluation.

"No. 7 is so and so" "No. 18 is so and so" Hainan University's forwards and guards respectively commented on Sendoh and Kemei

"Kumure, the National High School MVP is not a false title. I think, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the champion of this year's high school basketball group in the autumn national sports will be Kanagawa." Although Kawashima did not directly comment on Kiguro's strength, he also gave Kiguro a high evaluation.

"Okay, I've seen their strength. I also hope Kanagawa can win more championships. In the second half, you have to go all out and train these juniors well."

"Yes, coach"

"Very good, everyone performed very well. In the second half, Miyagi-san, you will replace Murasakibara first, Shen-san, you will replace Sendoh, Hanagata-san, you will replace Akagi. In the early part of the second half, we will speed up and play fast. Katsurami and Shen-san, the two of you will open up the space in the interior. Hanagata-san, your task is to use mid-range shots to attract Fujino out and give Sakuragi room to play in the interior. Miyagi, use your speed to tear through all defenses. Sakuragi, the interior is up to you. Your rebounding will be the key to this game, do you understand?"

"I understand, coach!"

At the beginning of the second half, Sakuragi and Fujino stood in the center circle, and the referee threw the ball into the air.

"Hah!" The two jumpers jumped up almost at the same time and rushed towards the ball in the air.

"The ball is mine!" Sakuragi grabbed the ball first with a one-finger advantage!

"This red-haired boy jumps really high and very fast." Although he has seen Sakuragi's jumping ability, the coach of Hainan University is still amazed by Sakuragi's quality.

"Good job, Sakuragi!" Miyagi got the ball and was about to dribble when he suddenly stopped and turned around. He avoided the interception by Hainan defender Kawashima.

"It was really close. Fortunately, the coach reminded me before the game to pay attention to Hainan's steals." Although he avoided Kawashima's steals, Miyagi was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

"This kid is really alert." Kawashima, who failed to steal the ball, turned around and chased after him. At the same time, Sakaguchi came to assist in defense. Miyagi did not let the ball stay in his hands, but directly handed the ball to Katsumi, who hit the ground. The ball was in the hands of Hanagata who cut into the inside line. After Hanagata got the ball, he shot directly.

"You're dreaming!" Fujino rushed over, his fingertips touching the basketball.

"Good defense, Fujino, this ball is mine!" Isoka squatted down and then jumped up to grab the rebound.

"It's not yours," a voice came from behind Isoka, and then a big hand reached out, grabbed the ball, and pushed it into the basket! 41:36

"Good shot, Sakuragi!" The other Kanagawa players high-fived Sakuragi who made the tip-in.

"It doesn't matter, we scored a goal." The Hainan University players were not affected by Sakuragi's tip-in. After patiently passing the ball, Otani scored a mid-range shot and the score was 41:38. However, the ball had just fallen into the net and landed when Hanagata got the ball and came to the baseline. He quickly passed it to Miyagi, who immediately sped up after getting the ball. The Kanagawa players rushed to the Hainan University half like a tide, which caught Hainan University off guard. Before Hainan University could get into position, Miyagi had already passed the ball to A Shen who was responding outside the three-point line. A Shen took a three-point shot and made a steady hit! 44:38

Hainan University cooperated and Sakaguchi made a mid-range shot, 44:40. After scoring, Hainan University learned from the lesson and left Kawashima to defend Miyagi. The other players immediately returned to defend and curbed Kanagawa's fast break. However, after Miyagi received the ball, he ignored Kawashima in front of him, and turned around after accelerating, passing Kawashima's defense, leaving Kawashima standing there in surprise, "This guy is so fast." Sakaguchi helped defend again, and Miyagi gave the ball to Katsumi again, but this time Hainan University was prepared. Otani had already helped defend in front of Katsumi, Fujino blocked Sakuragi, and Gooka stared at Hanagata.

After the pass was made, Miyagi, who was cutting in, signaled for the ball. Katsume understood and passed the ball to Miyagi. Miyagi cut into the paint and before Gogoka made up for the defense, he passed the ball to Hanagata, who shot under the basket and scored 46:40

Kawashima dribbled the ball across half court, watched the running positions of his teammates, suddenly jumped up and made a three-pointer. Miyagi hurriedly jumped up to block the shot, but it was too late. The ball flew over his fingertips and flew towards the basket!

"Swish!"46:43

"Don't retreat, don't let them dribble across half court easily," the coach of Hainan University reminded loudly from the sidelines. After being repeatedly beaten by Kanagawa's fast breaks, the players of Hainan University dared not neglect it anymore. Fujino went directly to the baseline to interfere with Hanagata's serve, Kawashima guarded Miyagi, and Sakaguchi waited for an opportunity to move.

"Sakuragi, the coach said tactic number one," Mu Mu reminded loudly from the sidelines

"Got it." Sakuragi ran over and pretended to catch the ball. Hanagata threw the ball high up, over Fujino's fingertips. Sakuragi jumped up and caught the ball, and after landing. "Come on, Komiya."

The Hainan players looked in the direction of the sound and were shocked. It turned out that Sakuragi not only caught the ball this time, but also blocked Kawashima. With the help of Sakuragi's cover, Miyagi shook off Kawashima's defense and ran straight to Hainan's half. No one on the Hainan University team expected that Kanagawa would come back like this, and no one returned to defend. After Miyagi got the ball, he made a fast break layup and scored 48:43

Hainan was attacking, Igouka stood one step inside the three-point line, bent over and held the ball at his waist with both hands. With his left foot, he lightly made a horse stance to penetrate the center of gravity of Sakuragi Hanamichi who was opposite him. But Sakuragi would not be fooled by a light false probe. Igouka suddenly accelerated and moved towards Sakuragi Hanamichi's arms, preparing to break through from the left. Sakuragi held Igouka's body hard, making it impossible for him to accelerate and used his body to separate Igouka from the passing route of other teammates. He drove Igouka to rush to the front of Hanagata under the basket. Igouka was not a fool, and his hit rate would not be too high if he forced it like this. He suddenly stopped at the paint line, then turned back 180 degrees and made a fadeaway jump shot. "Swish" the ball went in. 48:45

"Damn it, let him in anyway"

"It's okay, Sakuragi, you defended well. His fighting is very exhausting." Hanagata patted Sakuragi's shoulder

Kanagawa attacked. This time, the Hainan players strengthened their defense against Miyagi. They had already seen that in Kanagawa's lineup, Sakuragi and Hanagata were both inside players. A Shen was just a pitcher with average dribbling ability. Although Katsumi had good breakthrough ability, the Hainan players were able to defend him. Only Miyagi, once his speed increased, no one could keep up with him. He was a sharp weapon for launching fast breaks. If it fell into a positional battle, his height would restrict his offensive ability. Therefore, Miyagi must not be allowed to run. They also succeeded in doing this. This time, with the joint efforts of Kawashima and Sakaguchi. Although Miyagi dribbled across half court, the opportunity for a fast break had been lost. It could only fall into a positional battle. Hanagata moved up and gave Miyagi a pick-and-roll. With the help of Hanagata's cover, Miyagi broke into the inside, but Sakaguchi had already come to assist in defense, and Miyagi immediately passed the ball to Katsumi who was left open.

"Snap!" The ball was intercepted by Kawashima halfway. After being passed by Miyagi, Kawashima did not chase back, but defended against Katsumi and intercepted the ball. This shot showed Hainan University's excellent rotation and defense ability. Hainan University launched a quick counterattack. Otani made a three-pointer to tie the score

Although the score was tied, the Kanagawa team was not affected at all. Sakuragi grabbed the falling basketball, quickly came to the baseline, turned around and made a long pass. At some point, Miyagi had already run to the midline. After receiving the ball, Miyagi made a fast break layup and scored 50:48

"What's wrong with you? You keep getting ambushed. Pay more attention." The coach of Hainan University was a little embarrassed after Kanagawa team scored consecutively.

Hainan's attack was handed over to Otani. He dribbled the ball back and forth between his legs to confuse Kemei, but Kemei remained unmoved and just stared at his shoulder. He suddenly increased his power and rushed forward quickly, rushing from Kemei's left side, forcing Kemei to take small steps to catch up with him. He did not give up and kept rushing forward without shaking off Kemei's defense. When he was under the basket, he suddenly braked and threw Kemei forward, then dribbled the ball between his legs twice to adjust and shoot immediately.

"Be careful, Otani," Isoka warned loudly.

"Huh?" Before Otani could react, he felt a dark shadow appear in front of him.

"Bang!" The ball was blocked by Sakuragi who was jumping by the side. "Nice block, Sakuragi!" The ball was picked up by Kemei who was standing nearby.

"Give me" Miyagi started again ahead of schedule,

"Don't even think about it!" Kawashima, who was prepared, chased closely. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Kemei had to dribble the ball and organize the attack by himself.

"Very good, that's it." Hainan's coach nodded with satisfaction. The Kanagawa team fell into a positional battle and did not have many good offensive opportunities. In the end, Katsumi's shot missed, Fujino grabbed the rebound, and Hainan counterattacked. Although Fujino's attack under the basket was defended by Sakuragi and Hanagata, Isoka put the ball into the basket and the two sides tied again. In the next round, Kanagawa's shot missed again, and Sakaguchi made a three-pointer. Hainan overtook the score again 50:53!

"Sendoh, Akagi, Minggao, you three, go on the court." Seeing that the offense was ineffective, Coach Anzai immediately made substitutions.
