Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"Good pass, Sakuragi" An old monkey and a red-haired monkey passionately bumped chests

"Not bad, not bad, we'll defend another goal" Mitsui clapped his hands

During Tokyo's attack, Katayama dribbled the ball while watching his teammates' positions with his peripheral vision: the inside line was firmly suppressed, Ming Juntian was also guarded by Mitsui, and as for Maki Shinichi in front of him, Katayama knew that he could not deal with him at all. Then there was only one chance, that was Gonda Jusan. The player facing him looked like a high school student. Although he was tall, basketball was not won by height. Gonda Jusan also had certain strength. After Tokyo was established, his teammate Nishimura Shusaku initially served as the starting small forward. However, after three group matches, Nishimura had an advantage in shooting, but his defense, breakthrough, and passing were not as good as Gonda, who came off the bench, so in the knockout round, Gonda entered the starting lineup.

Just when Quan Tian just got the ball, a hand reached out and knocked the ball away from Quan Tian's hand. Fortunately, Quan Tian was more focused and got the ball back.

"This guy is really quick, we must not be careless." Gonda tried to dribble away from his opponent, but it was difficult to make a move under the defense of Rukawa Kaede's super long wingspan. For the first time, he realized the gap in innate physical fitness, which seemed difficult to make up.

"Although he is only a freshman, his speed and skills are not inferior to mine. So amazing!" Quan Tian was secretly amazed.

"Quan Tian, ​​if there is no chance, pass the ball quickly and pay attention to the time," Ming Juntian reminded loudly. Quan Tian looked at his watch and found that there were only 6 seconds left in the attack time. Ming Juntian saw that Quan Tian had no chance and ran over to meet the opponent. Quan Tian pretended to pass the ball to Ming Juntian and suddenly jumped up to shoot.

"What?" Gonda discovered that the first-year opponent in front of him was not fooled at all. Rukawa jumped up to block the shot, but his fingers touched the ball, changing its direction and the shot missed.

"Ha!" Yu Zhu grabbed the rebound

"Give it to me." After completing the defense, Rukawa Kaede ran towards the heart of Tokyo. Yuzhu understood what he meant and made a long pass. Rukawa Kaede made a fast break dunk and scored 6:4. Kanagawa overtook the score!

Tokyo attacked, Gonda attracted the defense in the high position, watching Kawamura and Sakuragi struggling to position each other, while Ming Shuntian pulled away with Mitsui, Doi was suppressed by Yuzhu under the basket and could not move, and Katayama and Amu also seemed to be wrestling.

"Hey, guys, run, run, and remember our usual tactics." Quan Tian directed his team and ran the offensive route.

Katayama took Amu and ran to the bottom corner. Gonda passed the ball quickly, and at the same time Doi came forward to provide an off-ball screen and a pick-and-roll.

Blocking the opponent, Quan Tian cut directly into the paint area like a knife cutting through butter.

At this time, Katayama passed the ball to Gonda at the right time and he successfully made a layup.

"Hmm? Good cooperation. We can play like this too." Amu dribbled the ball from the outside and watched his teammates move. Mitsui ran over to receive the ball. "Are you going to pass it to Mitsui?" Ming Juntian followed Mitsui, and sure enough, the ball was in Mitsui's hands. However, the next second, the ball disappeared from Mitsui's hands. Amu made an empty cut after passing the ball. This football-like wall-hitting cooperation left Ming Juntian and Katayama behind, and Amu took this opportunity to break into the inside. "It's not that easy." Gonda had come over to defend and reached out to steal the ball. But Amu turned his back and passed Gonda who was stealing the ball. After passing Gonda, he scored a layup. 8:6

Gonda passed the ball to Doi, who turned around to set up a wall for Katayama, blocking Amu. Katayama was left open, and Doi passed the ball in time, and Katayama made a jump shot. Tokyo tied the score again at 8:8

"Mitsui-san," Coach Anzai walked to the sidelines, pointed at Quan Tian, ​​and made an exchange gesture with his hands. Mitsui nodded.

"Rukawa, I will defend Gonda, you go deal with their ace, it's up to you." After two rounds of attack by Tokyo, Mitsui already understood that Gonda used his own characteristics to drive the team's offense, and although Rukawa was excellent in one-on-one defense against the ball holder, his defense against the person without the ball was average. When Gonda went to screen or pass the ball, Rukawa was completely indifferent.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Mitsui-senpai."

Kanagawa attacked, but this time there was a problem with the coordination of Kanagawa's players. As a result, the ball passed by Amu to Mitsui was intercepted by Ming Juntian, and Tokyo counterattacked. However, Kanagawa would not give Tokyo players a chance to break quickly, and fell into positional warfare again.

Gonda passed the ball to Ming Juntian in the low post, and immediately moved to the other side to help Kawahara Fantong block the opponent. Kawahara Fantong quickly moved sideways to get rid of Sakuragi's defense. When he moved to the middle, Ming Juntian's pass also arrived, and he made a three-step layup. Unfortunately, although Kawahara Fantong got rid of Sakuragi's defense, Mitsui, who moved with Gonda, caught up with him. He raised his hand and accurately knocked the basketball out of Kawahara's hand.

The basketball went out of bounds and Tokyo continued to attack.

"Very good, Mitsui, that's it. After changing positions, pay attention to the position of the passer and don't give them space to pass the ball." Gaotou also understood Coach Anxi's arrangement and shouted from the sidelines.

Mitsui gestured to Gaotou, and the meaning was clear.

Tokyo continued to attack, this time directly handing it over to Ming Juntian for a singles match.

After receiving the ball, Ming Juntian took a step back and made a fadeaway jump shot. As mentioned above, Rukawa did a good job defending the ball handler. He blocked the shot in time and his finger touched the basketball.

Yuzhu blocked Doi's position, easily took the ball, raised his elbow to drive away Heli who tried to steal the ball, and then handed it to Amu, who steadily crossed half court. When he reached the three-point line, he broke through to the left, suddenly turned around and pulled the ball past the opponent, immediately shook off Katayama's defense and broke into the restricted area, facing Doi, and jumped high!

"Too arrogant!" Doi would not tolerate such a blatant provocation and went straight to meet it.

However, the next second, the ball in Amu's hand disappeared.

"Good pass" Yu Zhu received the ball and made a powerful dunk 10:8

Tokyo launched an attack. Katayama passed the ball to Gonda, and then set a screen for Gonda. With the help of the screen, Gonda shook off Mitsui's defense and shot.

"Snap" Amu blocked the ball from behind, "We counterattack" After Amu finished blocking, he took the ball into his arms. Mitsui and Rukawa had already started, stabbing into the heart of Tokyo like two sharp blades. Amu carried Katayama all the way to the front court, and passed the ball without looking at anyone. The basketball fell into the hands of Mitsui who ran out of the open space. He shot a three-pointer into the basket! 13:8

Through these defenses, other players of Kanagawa also saw through Tokyo's offensive method and launched targeted defense. Although they could not defend every ball, they greatly reduced Tokyo's offensive success rate. Unknowingly, the first half ended at 44:30, and Kanagawa led by 14 points.

In the second half, Kanagawa played five players in a row, center Akagi, power forward Mike, small forward Sendoh, shooting guard Katsumi, and point guard Mugure. This lineup was even stronger than the lineup in the first half. Akagi won the jump ball, Mugure dribbled the ball to the basket and scored 2+1 in Tokyo's paint.

In the first half, Tokyo's Ming Juntian, who performed well, rushed into the inside with the help of a screen and tried to challenge Akagi, but was rewarded with a spicy hot pot by Akagi.

Sendoh intercepted Tokyo's pass, and Katsumi made a three-pointer from the outside.

Tokyo's shot missed again, Akagi grabbed the rebound, made a long pass, and the foreign friend scored another dunk. Just 2 minutes into the second half, Kanagawa's lineup beat Tokyo 10:0

Tokyo finally broke the scoring drought with a forced shot by Ming Juntian, who scored 2 points. However, such a score was like a drop in the bucket. They simply could not withstand Kanagawa's overwhelming attack. With 7 minutes left in the game, the score was 80:50, and Kanagawa was already leading by 30 points. Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, Tokyo replaced the main players and announced that they had given up. Anzai replaced Miyagi and Kiyota who had not yet appeared. Together with Sakuragi, Rukawa and Mike, Kanagawa played small ball again. The final score was 100:61, and Kanagawa eliminated the opponent with a 39-point advantage and entered the quarterfinals.

After the game, Fujima and Hanagata, who were not included in the roster today, Asami and Hikoichi Aida rushed back from Osaka and Aiwa respectively. Osaka finally defeated Hokkaido 108:70 and Aichi defeated Fukui 89:62 to enter the quarterfinals. The last spot was the Kyoto team, who defeated Miyagi 84:66. With the end of the round of 16, the quarterfinals matchups were also determined, namely, Akita VS Ehime, Fukuoka S Shizuoka, Kanagawa VS Osaka, Kyoto VS Aichi. The upper and lower halves will be held in different stadiums, with the first game at 13:30 pm and the second game at 15:30 pm.
