Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

In the evening, after dinner, the Kanagawa players went to coach Anzai's room as usual to discuss tomorrow's game.

"Zebei is even better than before." Rukawa Kaede, who is usually quiet, rarely speaks up.

"Ryukawa-san, your opponent has indeed become stronger, but don't forget that we are also getting stronger. Remember, the outcome of a game cannot be decided by one person, you are the strongest." Teacher Anxi gave a timely "chicken soup"

"Yes, we are the strongest. What's a Zebei?" The Kanagawa team members answered in unison. Anxi brand chicken soup is delicious.

"As expected of Kanagawa, the momentum is strong. If it were another team, I would laugh at their arrogance, but if you said so, I would not refute it." A voice came

"Zebei-san?" Coach Anxi looked at the visitor and was a little surprised.

"Hello, Coach Anzai. Zebei came here not to gather military intelligence, but to meet friends. And I guarantee with my character that Sanwang will not use full-court press tomorrow. Because facing you, Kanagawa, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."

"Do you even need to tell me that? We at Ryonan have broken through your pressure, and we at Shohoku have broken through it. Now we at Kanagawa have united and are even stronger. Do you still dare to use it as a trump card? That's really too much of a disdain for you guys," Miyagi interrupted.

"Miyagi is right," Zebei nodded. "Full-court press won't have much effect on you Kanagawa. I also want to play a fair game with you. This is also my last game in Japan. I hope you guys won't be polite."

"Who's polite?" Rukawa, Sakuragi and Kiyota said in unison.

"Don't worry, Zebei, to be frank, your last game in Japan will end in failure," Mu Mu said in a deep voice

Zebei laughed, and laughed very happily! "Seniors Mumu, Mitsui, Ah Mu, Fujima, and Sendoh and Rukawa! I can't wait to compete with you again! Even our Sanwang can't have so many star players. Kanagawa is really a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

"Hmph, you forgot to mention that there is also my genius Sakuragi Hanamichi!" Sakuragi glared at Zebei with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry! But it's not that I forgot to mention you. Judging from the position on the court, your opponent, Sakuragi, should be one of Kawata's brothers or Nobe!" Zebei looked at Sakuragi with a smile, "Your rebounding ability is the best I've ever seen. Even college students rarely surpass you. But after all, our positions are different, so whether it's offense or defense, the possibility of us matching up is very small! Of course, this also includes Senior Akagi, Senior Uozhu, and this senior with glasses. Kawata and the others will have a hard time tomorrow."

Sakuragi raised his head proudly, "Of course!"

After Zebei left, the Kanagawa team continued to study

"Tanaka, Takato, today's game, the first half was 48:40, the second half was 50:41, in other words, we won by 8 points in the first half and 9 points in the second half. According to the agreement, I lost, so I will abide by the bet. In tomorrow's game, Mugure, Mitsui and Akagi will not play," said Coach Anzai.

"What? Coach Anzai, this is absolutely not allowed!" Tian Gangshi was shocked when he heard it.

"Yes, Coach Anzai, there is no need to bet on players not playing. We understand your original intention of making the bet, which was to let the players play a beautiful game and put pressure on Sannoh. Murasakibara, Mitsui and Akagi are important figures of the team. Without the three of them, our game will be much more difficult. If we lose the game because of the absence of these three people, not only will this group of third-year students have regrets, but we will also be criticized. In a few years, when Kanagawa is mentioned, their first reaction will be: "Arrogant, hiding their strength, and ended up being slaughtered by Akita." This will also affect your reputation, Senior Anzai, so please think twice." Gaotou also advised. After speaking, he secretly winked at Amu

"Coach, please think twice." Amu understood and immediately came out and knelt on the ground to dissuade him. Yuzhu and Fujima followed suit and knelt down one after another.

"Okay, everyone, stop doing this, hurry up and get up." Although Coach Anxi signaled the players to get up, no one moved.

"Everyone, don't get excited. Let me explain the reason. You should stand up and talk first. Why are you kneeling down?" After hearing what Coach Anxi said, Tian Gang and Gao Tou made a gesture, and everyone sat up and prepared to listen to Coach Anxi's explanation.

"Before I explain, please answer a few questions for me. Mr. Maki Shinichi, what was Hainan's record last year?"

"National runner-up." Maki Shinichi was a little surprised why the coach asked this question, but he still answered seriously.

"Who did you lose to?"

"We lost to Sanno Industrial by 12 points"

"Okay, let me ask Fujima-san, what was Shoyo's record last year and who did they lose to?"

"Top eight in the country. Eliminated by Sannoh" Fujima replied

"Uozhu-san, what was Ryonan's result this year? Who did they lose to?"

"Third place in the country, eliminated by Sanwang in the semi-finals" Yuzhu answered

"Rukawa-san..." Anzai asked the same question

"Top 16. Defeat Sanwang" Rukawa Kaede answered concisely.

"Okay, everyone here can be called a famous player in the national basketball world, and you have all achieved good results, but you all have one thing in common, that is, you all lost to the same opponent, that is Sanno Industrial! In fact, it's not just you who lost to Sanno (we Shohoku won, Sakuragi interrupted, but Coach Anzai glanced at Sakuragi and Sakuragi stopped talking), your seniors were also defeated by Sanno, are you willing to be defeated by Sanno all the time?"

"We're not willing to accept this," the Kanagawa players roared in unison.

"Okay, tomorrow, let's make the defeat to Sanno a thing of the past and throw it into the trash. You will make history and defeat Sanno Industrial. When your seniors see you in college, they will all give you a thumbs up. Brat, you played well. You beat those bastards at Sanno. None of us could do that. The seniors are proud of you. Even if your juniors defeat Sanno in the future, they will just respond to the media in a bland way: defeating Sanno is not a new topic. The only thing to say is that I want to thank XXX. It was because of them that they defeated those paper tigers at Sanno, making us feel that Sanno is nothing great. They are great pioneers, and the victory is due to them. Do you want to be the kind of people they say you are?"

"Hope! Hope!"

"Okay, everyone thinks I was a little too arrogant by hiding Murasaki, Mitsui, and Akagi, but I don't think so. Yes, with Akagi, Murasaki and Mitsui on the court, our chances of winning are indeed very high. But without these three people, will you not be able to play? Without them, you will be at a loss? So, you are far inferior to these three people?"

"No, that's not what we meant," Tian Gang and Gao Tou explained quickly.

"It seems that it was my mistake to choose you to go to Kanagawa. I might as well have directly chosen the players from Shohoku. I had confidence in you, but I didn't expect you... Alas..." Coach Anzai pretended to sigh

"Coach, please stop talking. We were wrong. We only considered the importance of Murasakibara and the other two, but ignored that we are also very strong. What Xiangbei can do, we can do too. We are also very strong." Amu stood up

"Yes, we are strong!" Except for the Xiangbei players, other players from Kanagawa stood up and responded.

"Haha, okay, everyone should have this confidence in tomorrow's game. Since everyone has this confidence, I have three requests for everyone. First, I request that Zebei's score be limited to less than 30 points. Although Xiangbei won the national competition, it also left a shameful record. Zebei scored 62 points. This has never happened in my coaching career. If Zebei still scores high in tomorrow's game, let's not talk about how my face will be. If the ace scores a super high score, we can be easily defeated. Right?"

"Yes, coach, I will definitely limit Zebei's scoring." Sendoh, who always gave people a leisurely impression, suddenly stood up.

"And me" Rukawa Kaede was unwilling to fall behind.

"It's the same for me. I can't go through the same shame twice." Shohoku's future captain, Kemei, also raised his hand and volunteered.

"Haha, okay, tomorrow Zebei will be taken care of by Rukawa and Sendoh. Katsumi, you go deal with Matsumoto, and we also need you for the outside attack." Anxi made arrangements and said the next request, "The second request is to limit Sanno's score to less than 80 points."

"Are we going to go all out tomorrow and fight for every second, Anzai-senpai?" Tiangang and Takato asked

"That's right. If you focus your attention, the other party won't have a chance to take advantage of you."

"We will do it!" Although it was a bit difficult, after all, the opponent was once the king, and scoring was not a difficult task for them. It was rare for them to get only 80 points. But as the vice-captain, Amu gritted his teeth and agreed. The others also straightened their chests.

"Okay, the third requirement is to win by more than 10 points against Sannoh."

"This... is a bit difficult. After all, Shohoku only beat Sannoh by 5 points in the national competition." Gaotou frowned.

"You guys have been humiliated by Sannoh by a large score, don't you want to fight back with a large score? We have to win this game beautifully, to embarrass them and scare them. And we also have to think about the future of the Kanagawa team."

"For the future of the Kanagawa team?" The Kanagawa players were a little confused.

"Yes, let me ask you a question. If two teams play against each other and the final score difference is 2 points, do you think the two teams are of similar strength? If the score difference is 20 points, do you think the two teams are very different in strength?"

"Yes," everyone nodded.

"Okay, let's put ourselves in their shoes. If we had lost to Sannoh by a large margin before, then in the next game, we would have a kind of invisible pressure before the game even started, and we would feel that there is a huge gap in strength between us and our opponents. This kind of thinking would affect our performance. So we have to do the opposite, defeat them by a large margin, and build confidence for your future juniors. Do you understand?"

"Understood, we will try our best"

"Oh, now let me arrange the tasks for tomorrow's game."
