Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

10:30 am the next day

"Okay. Everyone stop practicing and let's talk about the Osaka team." Coach Anzai called everyone in Kanagawa together. "Fujima, you and Hanagata went to watch the Osaka team's game yesterday. How did you feel?"

"Osaka's attack is very strong and her attack rhythm is also very fast." Hanagata was the first to comment on Osaka

"From the start of the game till now, they have averaged over 100 points per game. This is based on their high speed and high shooting accuracy. If we want to curb Osaka's offense, we must do two things. One is to control the rebounds, and the second is to limit their core player, Jun Tsuchiya!" Fujima added

"Fujima-san, you've done a good job. Keep going." Coach Anzai nodded and motioned for Fujima to continue.

"Shohoku has played against Touou before, so they must have some understanding of the Osaka team. Osaka does not have any outstanding inside players, but their inside players are also very good at shooting, so we can't be careless. As for rebounds, Osaka's inside players mainly rush and grab the ball, so we have to pay attention to positioning. This is the inside aspect. Let me talk about Osaka's offense. Osaka's point guard is called Itakura Daijiro, and his shooting level is quite good. But his passing ability is average. I think he is only a point guard in name only. His job is to dribble the ball through the frontcourt and then pass it to their core players. He waits for an opportunity to get the ball and shoot or break through. Osaka's core player is called Tsuchiya Jun. After watching yesterday's game, I think he is very similar to Sendoh, both are tall and strong. His organizational ability is outstanding. I think if Tsuchiya is pinched, then Osaka's offense will be at least half as threatening."

"Very good, Fujima-san, you really have the potential to be a coach," Coach Anzai praised, and then his face straightened, "Now let me talk about the tactics for this afternoon's game. I agree with one thing Fujima-san said, that is to restrict Tsuchiya, so, Sendoh!"

"I'm here," Xiandao replied

"The defense of Tsuchiya is up to you. Your task is to follow Tsuchiya all the time, put pressure on him, and disrupt his rhythm. I can allow you to let him score, but you must limit his passing to the greatest extent and prevent him from cooperating with his teammates. On the offensive end, if the ball comes into your hands, you can challenge Tsuchiya one-on-one to consume him. Do you understand?"

"I understand, coach." Sendo's eyes lit up.

"Okay, let's continue. Our inside team will be Toru Hanagata and Hanamichi Sakuragi. Sakuragi, your mission is to defend inside, grab every rebound, and disrupt Osaka's offense. I don't ask you to block a certain number of shots. What I ask is that you successfully disrupt the opponent's shots a certain number of times. So, your position is under the basket, and you are not allowed to leave the basket. The defense outside the basket will be the responsibility of Hanagata. Kishimoto is a technical power forward, but your skills are not bad either, Hanagata. What's more, you have the advantage of height. I believe you can defend him. On both offense and defense, do you two have the confidence to make the restricted area your world?"

"No problem, Coach!"

"Okay, classmate A Shen, the outside attack is up to you. You need to do more off-ball movement, one is to consume their energy, and the other is to wait for an opportunity to shoot."

"Got it, coach!"

"Fujima Kenji"

"Hmm? Here!" Fujima was stunned and quickly responded

"You didn't appear in the national competition this year, and the Osaka team is not familiar with you. Therefore, in the early stage of the game, you will be the core of the offense and show the same momentum you showed when facing Sanno last year."

"Yes, coach"

"Isn't Osaka known for its sharp offense? Let's have an offensive battle with them first. When defending, everyone should pay attention to our inside line. Once the rebound is taken by our inside players, you forwards and guards should immediately run forward. Sakuragi and Hanagata, after you grab the rebound, immediately initiate a pass, and you two should also follow up with a fast break. Especially Sakuragi, you also have to pay attention to the fight for the frontcourt rebounds, do you understand?"

"Yes, coach"

Osaka team training ground

"Kanagawa is the favorite to win, but you are not bad either. You need to give it your all like in the previous games. Don't be afraid of the enemy. Play our Osaka style of basketball. Do you understand?" Kitano was also making the final mobilization.

"Humph, what favorites to win the championship? Under the leadership of Mr. Kitano, based on the state of our training in the past two weeks, they are doomed today." Kishimoto said with disdain.

"Teacher Kitano, we will use the championship as your retirement gift." Nan Lie secretly made up his mind.

"Come on, Kanagawa, let me see your strength." Tsuchiya's face was full of fighting spirit.

At 13:00 in the afternoon, the two teams appeared in the gymnasium for pre-match warm-ups. The players who took a break from Kanagawa today were Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi Ryouta, and Maki Shinichi. They followed Aida Hikoichi to watch Akita's game.

After the warm-up, the game started with a whistle.

身着白色队服的是神奈川队，先发名单：中锋14号花形透197cm大前锋12号樱木花道191cm，小前锋8号仙道彰190cm，得分后卫16号神宗一郎189cm控球后卫6号藤真健司178cm

身着绿色队服的是大阪队，先发名单：中锋6号饭冢龙介192cm，大前锋7号岸本实理188cm，小前锋4号土屋淳190cm，得分后位5号南烈184cm控球后卫10号板仓大二郎183cm.丰玉的三叉戟加上大荣的中锋和王牌球员，大阪可是精英尽出。

"Hmm? Who are No. 6 and No. 14? I haven't seen them in this year's national competition, but they were put in the starting lineup by Anxi. What is he up to?" Kitano thought as he sat in the coach's seat.

Hanagata won the jump ball. "Very good, we scored a goal." Fujima got the ball and did not rush to fast break, but dribbled the ball steadily to the front court.

"Fujima, let him score!" Hanagata in the inside encouraged his friend.

"What a handsome boy! Come on!" Some crazy girls also cheered for Fujima

"Kanagawa is too underestimated. A player who didn't make it to the national competition actually entered the starting lineup. Basketball is not about appearance." Itakura underestimated his opponent, but the next second, a look of surprise appeared on Itakura's face. Fujima in front of him suddenly turned into a phantom, and the next second Fujima had broken through Itakura.

Itakura: (Shocked) What a fast speed! Fujima breaks into Osaka's inner line. Kishimoto comes to defend. Fujima pauses for a moment and looks at Hanagata.

Kishimoto (inner thoughts): Is he passing the ball? Getting ready to steal the ball. What?

Fujima suddenly accelerated, passed Kishimoto, and faced Oizuka. Fujima made a throw and the ball went in, 2:0

Osaka was attacking, Itakura was dribbling the ball, when suddenly a dark shadow passed by and the ball in his hand was lost.

Tsuchiya (Surprise!) What a fast speed "Hurry back to defense!"

Itakura (gritting teeth) "You pretty boy, you stole my ball and made me look bad." He immediately stood up to defend, but Fujima suddenly moved the ball forward and made a very realistic breakthrough. Itakura was so shocked that he couldn't help but take a step back. Unexpectedly, he suddenly took the ball back and made a quick jump shot, and the ball went in 4:0

"Itakura, don't be careless. It seems that No. 6 is not only outstanding in appearance, but also in strength. You have to be careful." Nan Lie came over to remind Itakura

"Yes, I will pay attention." Itakura nodded.

Osaka attacked. This time, Itakura carefully dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya passed it to Nan Lie who wanted the ball. The two aces who originally disliked each other have developed a basic understanding and trust in this Osaka training team. Nan Lie took the ball and shot a three-pointer. Ashen was caught off guard and had no time to defend. Nan Lie made the three-pointer and the score was 4:3.

"Hanagata, take it." In this round, Fujima did not choose to attack himself, but passed the ball to Hanagata. Hanagata received the ball and immediately turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. Iizuka jumped up to block the shot, but due to the height difference and Hanagata's fadeaway jumper, he was unable to interfere with the shot. Hanagata scored 6:3.

Osaka's attack, this time Tsuchiya passed the ball to Itakura, who shot a three-pointer! Hit! 6- tie

"It's my fault for this ball." Fujima took the blame for his negligence in defense. Itakura didn't know Fujima, and Fujima didn't know Itakura either. He didn't expect Itakura to be good at three-point shooting.

The ball was in Hanagata's hands again. Hanagata turned around and shot. Iizuka jumped up to block the shot. "Oh no, it was a fake move." Hanagata didn't jump up, but leaned against Iizuka to jump up. Iizuka's hand hit Hanagata's arm. The referee blew the whistle immediately! At the same time, the ball went in! Hanagata made the free throw and the score was 9:6

This time, Itakura passed the ball to Tsuchiya after passing half court. Tsuchiya faced Sendoh's defense and passed the ball to Nanlie. Tsuchiya (eyes wide open) "What?"

Fujima had already arrived quickly, intercepted the pass, broke into the Osaka penalty area, and scored a layup to make it 11:6

"Well done, Senior Fujima!" Sendoh ran over and high-fived Fujima

Itakura tried to get Fujima by fake move, but Fujima saw through it and stole the ball instead. Fujima made a fast break, but Nan Lie returned to defense very quickly and caught up with Fujima at the free throw line. Fujima made a sudden stop and shot, but Nan Lie jumped up to block the shot. "What kind of shooting posture is this?" Nan Lie found that the opponent had shot before he jumped to the highest point, and he used his left hand. Although he caught the timing of his jump very accurately, he could not interfere with Fujima's shot at all, 13:6

"Osaka requested a timeout", the game started badly, Kitano hurriedly called for a timeout
