Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Kanagawa Lounge

"Oh, everyone played very well in the first half. You all worked hard." Although they were only leading by 5 points, Coach Anzai was still very satisfied. He signaled for the players to rest. Except for Sakuragi, all the players on Kanagawa were sweating profusely. "You worked hard, but the opponent will work harder. Victory will definitely belong to us, Kanagawa."

"Coach, Osaka's team has consumed a lot of physical energy. Can we send Akagi and his team to play inside to increase their success rate and wait for an opportunity to widen the score?" Fujima suggested.

"Haha, Fujima-san said it very well. We should indeed make substitutions, but we shouldn't replace Akagi or Uozumi to fight a positional battle. Instead, we should continue to maintain the speed of attack, or even go faster. So the lineup for the second half is point guard Mugure Kiminonobu, shooting guard Kiyota Nobunaga, small forward Rukawa Kaede, power forward Mike Okita, and center Sakuragi Hanamichi. If Tsuchiya Jun is on the court, Mugure-san will be responsible for guarding Tsuchiya. If he is not on the court, Mugure will still be responsible for guarding their point guard. In the early part of the second half, we will play fast offense and defense to further consume their physical strength in order to widen the score."

"Yes, coach"

"In the second half, Kanagawa should send Akagi or Uozuki to play positional offense. We should also slow down the pace and rhythm of the offense. Let our main players rest so that they can play and decide the outcome at the critical moment." Coach Kitano was making tactical arrangements for the second half.

The 10-minute break has passed and the players from both teams are on the field.

神奈川阵容：中锋12号樱木花道191cm，大前锋11号迈克冲田192cm，小前锋10号流川枫，得分后卫18号清田信长180cm，控球后卫4号木暮公延186cm

大阪阵容:中锋8号岩田三秋190cm大前锋7号岸本实理188cm小前锋11号粟原英二186cm，得分后卫12号失屿京平180cm，控球后卫9号汀田浩树176cm

No. 11 Awahara Eiji is the only player who is not from Toyotama or Daiei. He is from Osaka's third-placed Higashigan College. No. 9 Teida Hiroki is Daiei's point guard. Osaka lacks a decent inside player, and in order to ensure the team's offensive power, Kishimoto had to grit his teeth and continue to persevere.

"Akagi Fish Pillar didn't come up? What does Kanagawa want to do?" Kitano was stunned.

At the beginning of the second half, Sakuragi easily won the jump ball. After getting the ball, Mumu threw the ball directly to the heart of Osaka without stopping.

"What is this?" While the Osaka players were still in a daze, a figure rushed over, received the ball and directly put it into the basket 58:51

"Good pass, Mugure-senpai!" After completing the surprise attack, Rukawa Kaede ran back to Kanagawa's half and high-fived Mugure.

Osaka attacks, Tingtian dribbles the ball across the front court, Awahara suddenly runs, and Rukawa follows closely. But Kishimoto runs over to cover, Rukawa is blocked, and Awahara is left open. Tingtian passes the ball immediately, and Awahara makes a three-pointer! 58:54

"So a new pitcher has been added, Kiyota." Mumu quietly called Kiyota over and whispered to him.

"Okay, let's score a goal." After instructing Qingtian, Mu Mu dribbled across half court, observing his teammates' positions, and suddenly broke through with such speed that Tingtian felt a gust of cold wind, secretly exclaimed that it was not good, and hurriedly chased after him. But Mu Mu's speed was too fast, and he shook off Tingtian's defense and rushed to the basket for a layup! 60:54

Kishimoto set a screen for Awahara again, and Awahara shook off Rukawa's defense, received the pass and made a three-pointer!

"Don't even think about scoring a goal!" Kiyota suddenly rushed out from the side and gave Awahara a big hot pot.

"Good block, Kiyota, let's fast break." Mumu took the ball that Kiyota blocked and dribbled straight to Osaka's inside line. After Kiyota completed the block, he immediately ran towards the heart of Osaka.

"Hurry up and return to defense." Kishimoto was busy directing his teammates to return to defense. Although Tingtian was passed by Murasakibara again, his defense this time slowed down Murasakibara's advancement speed. Awahara and Kishimoto had already rushed back, forming a 2 vs. 2 situation in the frontcourt, Murasakibara, Kiyota VS Awahara and Kishimoto. Murasakibara passed the ball horizontally and the ball fell into Kiyota's hands. "Come on, I'll defend you." Awahara, who had just been blocked, immediately went to defend Kiyota in an attempt to redeem the shame

Kiyota dribbled the ball with his right hand, and then he braked after pushing his left foot on the floor. He swung his head slightly behind his left shoulder toward the inside of the basket. Awahara was stunned, and immediately took a step to the inside. Kiyota then turned his whole body to the outside, and the ball bounced on the floor and landed in his left hand. But Awahara was able to enter the Osaka team, and he also had two brushes. He took a step and crossed over, blocking Kiyota's shooting space again.

At this time, the 180-centimeter Qingtian jumped high with his back to the basket, holding the ball with both hands in front of his chest.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant." Awihara also jumped high, his palm covering Qingtian's head. He seemed to see the scene of Qingtian being hit by a hat.

Kiyota seemed to be suspended in the air for a moment before moving the ball to his left hand, facing away from the basket, raising his left arm high, and then slamming the ball into the net. 62:54

Osaka attacked, the ball was passed to Kishimoto, who leaned towards Mike with his back to him. After three back-to-back shots, Mike suddenly felt Kishimoto's shoulder move, and subconsciously moved one step closer to Kishimoto's side, grabbing the position in advance, so that even if Kishimoto suddenly turned around, he would not be able to pass him. Kishimoto turned to the right and prepared to shoot, and Mike quickly reached out. However, this was just a feint by Kishimoto. After receiving the ball, Kishimoto turned 180 degrees to the left and hooked with his right hand.

"Noway" Kishimoto didn't shake off Mike this time, Mike blocked Kishimoto's shot

"Rukawa!" Mike took the ball and saw Rukawa running forward. He immediately passed the ball to Rukawa, made a decisive breakthrough, and made a beautiful layup. He also caused Shi Yujing to commit a defensive foul. Rukawa completed 2+1, 65:54, and Kanagawa opened the score to 11 points.

Osaka's shot missed, but Kishimoto, unwilling to accept defeat, took advantage of his foreign friend's carelessness and jumped up to tip in the ball. Although he missed, he caused Mike to foul, and Kishimoto made both free throws, 65:56

After Kishimoto made the free throw, Sakuragi quickly served the ball from the baseline. Mugure dribbled straight to Osaka's front court. Tingtian tried to intercept, but Mugure dribbled past him from behind and brought him to the three-point line, then suddenly paused.

"Oh no, Murasaki is going to shoot a three-pointer." Kishimoto, who had already chased back, rushed out of defense, but Murasaki had already shot.

"The posture is wrong, this ball won't go in." Kishimoto turned around and was about to remind Iwata to grab the rebound, but the scene in front of him made him swallow his words. A figure jumped high, grabbed the ball and pushed it into the hoop! 67:56

"Thank you, Kiminobu Kogure" "Okay. Focus on defense and don't make mistakes" "OK"

This time, Mike was not careless, and he once again showed the Osaka players his 360-degree turn and stealing skills. The intercepted Shiyu Kyohei was stunned, and Rukawa Kaede made a fast break dunk, causing Kishimoto to foul again 70:56

Shiyu came out to screen Awahara, and Kiyota went out to defend. Awahara did not shoot after receiving the ball, but passed it to Shiyu Kyohei who came down after completing the screen. Shiyu Kyohei made a mid-range shot. 70:58

"Don't let them start a fast break," Kishimoto reminded his teammates, and he and Tingtian interfered with the pass in the Kanagawa paint.

"It's okay, we can go slower," Murasaki reminded Sakuragi who was serving, "Your quick return to defense will also consume your energy," Murasaki thought to himself

After Rukawa got a good position in the paint, he suddenly ran out and came to the left side at a 45-degree angle to receive the ball. Awahara immediately followed him out, facing Rukawa, and took a defensive stance.

Rukawa made a fake move to the right and then suddenly accelerated to the left. When Awahara moved to the left, he changed direction again, turned to the right and broke through, heading straight to the basket. Awahara, who was broken through, quickly turned around and chased after him, closely following behind Rukawa, and then jumped up with him.

Rukawa used his body to separate Awahara and shot the ball into the net with his right hand 72:58

"This freshman is so amazing. How come Kanagawa has so many masters?" Kishimoto panted. As the core of offense and defense in the second half, his physical strength was greatly consumed.

The ball came to Iwata, and the Osaka center made a fake dribble move to the outside, then suddenly turned inward. But Sakuragi took a half step back, raised his arms high, and used his strong body to squeeze Iwata behind the basket, leaving him no space or angle to shoot.

Iwata couldn't shoot and could only pass the ball out, but due to limited vision, the ball was intercepted by Kiyota halfway. Mugure launched a fast break and scored another 2 points. 74:58

Osaka serves the ball from the baseline. Mugure and Kiyota suddenly team up to double-team Tingtian. Tingtian quickly passes the ball to Iwata who is nearby, but it is intercepted by Sakuragi halfway. After Sakuragi steals the ball, he twists his waist and throws the ball towards the hoop in mid-air before it lands. The ball goes in! 76:58

"Osaka requests a timeout!"
