Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Akita coach seat

"Damn it, that Sakuragi." After wiping the sweat off his face, Zebei threw the towel on the ground in frustration. He was blocked twice in a row, fouled once, and then had his ball intercepted. The number one high school student in the country has never been so embarrassed.

"Zebei, you performed very well, take a rest first." Domoto comforted his beloved general

"Coach, what should we do next?" asked Shen Jin

"Fukatsu, you replace Zebei. Maeda, you replace Matsumoto. Kawata, you will play as a small forward. The focus of the next attack will be on you. Your goal is not just to score, but--" Coach Domoto drew a big circle on a line on Kanagawa's starting list with a stroke of his pen.

The name that Coach Akita outlined was Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had just performed so well.

"You can't compare to Sakuragi Hanamichi's athletic talent. Although Sakuragi is extremely talented, he has not played for a long time and lacks experience. Moreover, he is very emotional. When he plays well, Zebei will be defeated by him. Once he suffers losses continuously, his mentality will be unbalanced, and his mistakes and fouls will increase. So, Kawata, you come to play against Sakuragi, just do as I said before."

"I understand, but will Sakuragi come to defend me? After all, we have three inside players on the court, and they are very likely to use Rukawa to defend me."

"Do you think Rukawa's frail body can hold up against you? Sakuragi is the only player in Kanagawa who has both physical strength and speed. And after many games, I can see that Coach Anzai is focusing on training him. He will definitely let him defend you. Such a talented player really needs to be trained well. It will be very beneficial to his growth."

"This kid will become a great player in the future with more training, but coach, aren't you afraid of defeating him?" Kawata was still a little worried. Although they were in different camps, Kawata actually admired Sakuragi very much. He was still a little worried that Sakuragi would never recover after the failure. When he was in the third year of high school, a freshman in the school challenged him. This freshman was recruited from Kyoto by the school and was indeed talented. However, after a battle, Kawata shaved his head, and as a result, the new center quit the team that day.

"Absolutely not. He definitely won't do that with his personality. At most he will feel uncomfortable in this game, but he will recover in a few days. And do you think Coach Anzai will let his beloved player sink?" Domoto asked back.

"Okay, watch me."

Kanagawa coaching booth

"Oh, everyone did a great job. Zebei has been at a disadvantage for a long time, and his mentality will definitely be affected. He will probably be replaced. Amu, you should decide who to assist based on the changes in the Akita players on the field." Coach Anzai did not make too many arrangements.

Pause back.

"Why did Akita replace Zebei and Matsumoto? I understand that Fukatsu played, but what did they mean by replacing him with Maeda?" Tiangang and Takato were a little surprised and asked Coach Anzai.

"I don't quite understand what Domoto means. Let's see how they attack first." Coach Anzai was also a little confused.

Akita attacks, "Fukatsu, you're finally on the field, come on!" Amu challenges Fukatsu

"Amu, I'm watching from the sidelines. You've gotten much stronger. I'm really looking forward to playing against you, but not now. Next..." Fukatsu passed the ball directly to Kawata at the three-point line, while Maeda was inside. This confused the Kanagawa players. Who would defend Kawata? Rukawa looked inside and took the initiative to run over to defend Kawata. However, under Kawata's pressure, Rukawa couldn't hold on and was defeated by Kawata. 51:45

"Sakuragi, you go defend Kawata and Rukawa. You go defend Maeda, Sakuragi goes out to defend, Rukawa you have to pay attention to the rebounds." Amu on the court made arrangements and the two nodded.

Kanagawa attacked, and Amu was not in a hurry to challenge Fukatsu, but gave the ball to Rukawa. The one defending Rukawa was Maeda. In front of Rukawa, Maeda's strength was much inferior. Rukawa passed Maeda with a cross step and scored a quick stop jump shot 53:45

"Oops. I made a mistake." Domoto slapped his head and stood up from the coaching booth. "Ichinokura, you go guard Rukawa, Maeda, you go guard A-shin."

The ball was in Kawata's hands again, in front of Sakuragi's surprised eyes. Kawata, who is 194cm tall, actually dribbled between his legs in the free throw circle, "Is he going to break through?" Sakuragi immediately moved forward to intercept, but just as he made his previous defensive move, Kawata took a step back and then jumped up to shoot. Kawata's step-back shot had a very standard posture and a very soft shot, but unfortunately it bounced out of the frame in the end. Although Sakuragi came out to defend Kawata, he did not forget his job and turned around to grab the defensive rebound.

"So it's just a show," Sakuragi looked down on him.

Kanagawa was attacking. Amu saw that there was a big difference in size between Rukawa and Ichinokura, so he passed the ball to Rukawa. Although he had played against Sannoh before, Rukawa had never played against Ichinokura before, so he looked down on this short player. After receiving the ball, he shot directly, but at the moment he raised the ball, Ichinokura found a flaw and stole the ball, allowing Akita to counterattack. The ball once again went to Kawata at the three-point line.

"If you can't even make a mid-range shot, forget about long-range shots." Sakuragi ignored him, and Kawata shot directly, and Sakuragi turned around to grab the rebound.

"What?" Sakuragi saw the basketball go straight through the net. "Oh, I was careless. Brother Mumu once said that the bald gorilla had played both guard and small forward positions. I didn't expect that he didn't lose his shooting skills after playing in the paint."

Kanagawa's attack, the ball once again fell into Rukawa's hands, this time he put aside his contempt for Ichinokura, used his height, shot steadily, and made a mid-range shot, 55:48

Attack and defense changed, Kawata received the ball under the basket. He tried to carry Sakuragi at first, but failed to move him, which was expected. Suddenly, he turned to the left and passed by Sakuragi. Seeing this, Sakuragi did not dare to neglect it. He knew how good Kawata's ability to attack under the basket was, so he quickly stepped back to meet him. However, this was just a fake move. Kawata's turn to the left was a very real fake move. Kawata, who had already turned, quickly took back the basketball, turned back on the spot, and faced Sakuragi head-on. At this time, Sakuragi was at least 2 steps away from Kawata. Seeing that he was fooled, Sakuragi was unwilling to be deceived, and suddenly pounced forward and blocked the basketball in Kawata's hand.

Seeing Sakuragi's action, Kawada smiled, deliberately thrust forward, and reached out his hand to touch Sakuragi's hand. Then the referee whistled, Sakuragi fouled, two free throws, Kawada thought to himself: Boy, you are still too young.

"Very good, Kawata, just play like this" Domoto also praised him from the sidelines

"Bald gorilla, you liar, if you have the guts, you should fight me head-on. Are you a man if you play tricks like this?" Sakuragi gritted his teeth.

Kawada said calmly: "Sakuragi, words are useless. If you have the guts, fight me back with the same moves." After that, he turned around and started shooting free throws, hitting them accurately. 55:50

Seeing this situation, Sakuragi's eyes began to turn red.

Sakuragi passed by Amu and said, "Middle-aged man, I'll take the next shot." Amu looked at Sakuragi whose eyes were already red, and was shocked. He thought to himself: If I don't let him vent, it will be difficult to deal with if he starts to lose his temper on the court.

Kanagawa turned around and attacked, and Kawada, who was defending, raised his hands high and held Sakuragi tightly.

After Amu passed the ball to Sakuragi, Sakuragi grabbed the ball, dribbled it with one hand, and leaned back suddenly. Then Kawata fell straight to the ground as if he was hit by a tank.

"White No. 12, offensive foul!" the referee whistled.

"Asshole!" Sakuragi was a little angry

"Calm down, Sakuragi." Amu patted Sakuragi. Compared with the original, Sakuragi was much more mature. He took a deep breath and Sakuragi returned to his usual state.

"It's back to normal so quickly, it looks like we need to add fuel to the fire."

Kawata received the ball. He turned and broke through to the left. Sakuragi reacted quickly and held on tightly, preventing Kawata from turning around. "The power is indeed enough, but you were fooled." Although Kawata was stopped by Sakuragi, he still smiled. He had noticed that Sakuragi's body center of gravity had been moved. And his real intention was to turn 360 degrees on the spot, from the left to the right. Then he took a small jump step and flicked his wrist. Sakuragi was unable to adjust his center of gravity and could only watch Kawata complete the attack 55:52.

In the next round, Amu faked a pass, tricked Shenjin's defense, and scored a layup 57:52

Kawata received the ball, took a step back and suddenly rushed forward. Sakuragi immediately moved forward, and Kawata made a pull-up move, shook off Sakuragi's defense, and scored a layup directly 57:54

In the next round, Ichinokura stole the ball from Rukawa Kaede, Akita counterattacked, the ball was in Kawata's hands again, faked, changed direction, stepped back, and accelerated, a series of actions, which made Sakuragi dizzy. Kawata dodged Sakuragi's defense and went straight to the basket for a layup.

"Don't underestimate me" Sakuragi used his extraordinary talent to rush back

"Oops!" Kawata knew when he shot that Sakuragi was interfering with him. Sure enough, the ball bounced out of the basket, but Kawata was prepared and jumped to grab the rebound. Facing Sakuragi's defense, he wanted to turn left, raise his hand, deceive Sakuragi's center of gravity, take a step to the right, shoot, and the ball went in. 57:56, thanks to Kawata's activeness, the score difference was one point again!
