Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Murasaki controlled the ball and looked at the junior point guard Naoto Kuwashima from Fukazawa Sports University who was ready in front of him. He used Akagi's screen to break through Kuwashima. But Akira kept a close eye on Mitsui and didn't give Mitsui a chance to receive the ball. Facing Mitsui, who scored 7 points with 5 of 20 three-pointers in this game, they didn't dare to be negligent. But moving without the ball is a skill a shooter must have. Using Sugida's screen, Mitsui found an opening, and Murasaki planned to pass the ball. But Kuwashima, who was ready in battle, immediately jumped up to block the passing route. But Murasaki did not choose to pass the ball directly to Mitsui, but to Sendoh. Sendoh passed the ball directly to Mitsui without stopping. This is the tacit understanding formed by these three people in the Autumn National Games, and even after a year, the tacit understanding is still there. Mitsui received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, shot a mid-range shot, and hit it! 73:75

"Hold on to this ball!" With the score difference remaining at 2 points, the players of Dongda University saw hope of winning

Although they were being chased by their opponents, the battle-hardened players of Shenzhen Sports University were not panicked at all. Kuwashima pressed the clock, and although his offensive ability was average, his dribbling was very steady, and Murasakibara could not find a chance to steal the ball. "The captain had an eye-catching performance before, and now he will definitely be targeted. The best proof of this is that Akagi under the basket never took his eyes off the captain. Kawata and Fujimoto don't have much chance in the paint, and the one facing Kawamura is a freshman who came on later. Although he was very strong in high school, this is college. Kawamura has the highest chance of scoring!" A series of thoughts flashed through Kuwashima's mind, and with this in mind, Kuwashima passed the ball to Kawamura.

"Seven seconds, that's enough!" Kawamura glanced at the timer, his eyes fixed, he slapped the ball hard, and then stepped out with his right foot and rushed straight towards the right.

"So fast!" Xiandao didn't have time to react at all. He just felt his heart skip a beat. When he realized it, he only saw that half of Kawamura's body had passed him.

Mitsui on the side has been paying attention to Sendoh. After all, although Sendoh is very strong, Kawamura's strength is not in vain. Kawamura and Mingma are just like Matsumoto and Zebei, but Kawamura's experience is far more bumpy than Matsumoto. He graduated from Kanayama Commercial in Niigata Prefecture and became the main force of the team in his first year of high school. He and the team captain led Kanayama Commercial to the national top eight. In his second and third years of high school, due to the graduation of the captain, there were no good freshmen to supplement the team, but he still led the team into the top 16 for four consecutive times (including two winters), which is enough to prove his strength, and he encountered Luoan, Hakata Commercial and Sanno three times. In these three games, he averaged 31.3 points, which is enough to prove his strength. He was also spotted by scouts from Shenzhen Sports University and became the second player after Sugiyama Shotasu to enter Shenzhen Sports University from a small team.

At this moment, Kawamura's forward body suddenly stopped, and his left foot, which was left behind, twisted deeply, pulling the stagnant body out and making an incredible turn.

"Don't even think about getting over there!" Sendoh had come to his senses and felt that the other party was sticking to him and was turning around trying to break through from the left. He immediately leaned forward, took a big step forward, and blocked Kawamura's route.

"Heh!" Kawamura smiled strangely, and the basketball he was hitting with his right hand suddenly hit Sendoh's crotch. Then he took advantage of the gap left by the two people's defensive positions and swished through the narrow gap like a snake.

"What??!" The two never expected Kawamura to break through them like this, but the next second, the object of surprise became Kawamura. Murasaki appeared from the side and reached out to steal the ball from Kawamura's hand!

"Hurry up and return to defense, don't let them score." Mingjian reacted quickly and turned back to defend immediately. Of course, he did not forget to remind his players. After the captain's reminder, the Shenzhen Sports University players quickly returned to defense and Dongda was unable to counterattack quickly.

"Akagi" Mitsui signaled to Akagi, Akagi understood and ran out to cover Mitsui

"Follow Mitsui, don't let him shoot the three-pointer." Mingjian, who was blocked, anxiously reminded his teammates to fill in the position. And Sendoh blocked the second person for Mitsui. Just when everyone thought that Mugure would pass the ball to Mitsui, Mugure made a fake pass, then suddenly took the ball and shot a three-pointer from the outside!

"What?" Kuwashima was startled, his attention was also on Murasakibara's pass. Unexpectedly, Murasakibara, who had missed three three-pointers in the whole game, chose to shoot the three-pointer himself this time. He hurried forward to block it, but it was too late, the ball flew over Kuwashima's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"Will this ball go in?" The players on the court stared at the basketball flipping in the air with their eyes wide open, while the people in the stands clenched their fists and were even more nervous than the players!

The players on the court have been staring at the basket ever since the basketball left Murasakibara's hands. Will it go in?

"Shua!" The sound of the basketball entering the net was clearly heard by everyone! At the same time, the buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game! 76:75. Tokyo University won the championship!

"We won!" The Tokyo University players ran to Mugure and started playing human pyramid! In this game, Tokyo University won the championship! And ended the history of Fukasawa Sports' 5 consecutive championships.

Some fans and media felt that Tokyo University's victory that year was a bit of a fluke, but the following year, with Sakuragi and Sanno Industrial's point guard Takaki Tsukagawa, the team made it to the national quarterfinals for the first time, and Okamura Daihachi, a shooting guard from Seoka High School in Miyagi Prefecture, joined. Tokyo University's strength has never been stronger. This year, Tokyo University crushed the enemy with a 24-point victory over Akita Institute of Technology, which had Fukazawa and Matsumoto (the Kawada brothers went to Fukazawa Sports University, and Ohkawada also played as a main player in his sophomore year, while Kokawada was still on the bench), defeated Fukazawa Sports University again by 18 points in the semifinals, and defeated Nagoya University, which had Moroboshi Dai, Amu and Mori Shigehiro, by 12 points in the finals. This time, the championship was speechless.

In the senior year, Tokyo defended the title again and won the championship for the third time in a row, ushering in the Tokyo University dynasty era!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. One night in August 2006, in a hotel in Kanagawa, several young people sat in a private room and watched a game on TV. The game was the World Men's Basketball Championship held in Fukuoka, a battle between Japan and Panama.

"I didn't expect that Sakuragi has never missed a call-up to the national team since he graduated from college and joined the national team. He played so well in this game." A handsome man looked at the red-haired man wearing the No. 10 uniform on TV. The man blocked the Panamanian player's layup on the defensive end, and although his team missed the three-pointer on the offensive end, the No. 10 man directly dunked and scored!

"Aren't you proud that your brother-in-law has such a good performance, Akagi?" a young man wearing glasses said to a burly man who was over 2 meters tall.

"Hmph, it's not embarrassing. If he doesn't fight well, Haruko won't let him through the gate," the burly man responded

"Sakuragi, this kid is really enviable. It's not too busy now, and you are a rare guest. Come, let's have a drink." The owner of the restaurant walked in.

"Yuzumi, long time no see" three people stood up. These three people are Akagi, Mitsui and Mugure, and the owner of the hotel is Yuzumi

"Yes, it would be nice if you came at noon, you could meet Miyagi and Nango," Yuzumi said with some regret.

"I heard that Miyagi was the head coach of Ryonan last year. Under Miyagi's coaching, Ryonan made it to the joint finals again this year. That's great. Nango went to Sendai for college, and after graduating from Miyagi University, he stayed at the school and became a physical education teacher. It's not easy for them to be together," Mugure responded

"I had contacted Sendoh, but unfortunately he didn't come because he was busy with work. But it doesn't matter. He rarely played basketball after graduation and lived the life of an office worker from 8 am to 5 pm." Yuzumi took a sip of wine.

"Manager Yuzumi, the dishes you cooked are ready." As the four people were chatting, a voice came from outside the door, and Yuzumi opened the door.

"Come and try our specialty. Our manager personally selects, processes and cooks the ingredients. Before he left, he reminded us to wait five minutes before turning off the fire and serving the food," a waiter pushed a food cart into the private room and introduced the food to the three people from Xiangbei.

"Yuzumi, I haven't tasted your cooking for several years, and it's still so good." Mu Mu took a bite and gave a thumbs up.

"Kumuro, you are still so good at talking, but after all these years, you still don't eat sashimi. Are you really Japanese?" Yuzumi saw that Akagi and Mitsui both had a plate of special sashimi in front of them, but there was no plate in front of Kimururo.

"That's right. After graduation, the national team sent him an invitation letter, but he rejected it outright, saying he would no longer play basketball. Otherwise, with Murasakibara's ability, if it were today, Kei Igarashi would have been forced to sit on the bench by you," Mitsui said.

"By the way, it's a shame that you three didn't play basketball after graduating from college. It's really incomprehensible," Yuzumi said

"It's nothing to regret. Although most of the players of our generation are now engaged in basketball-related professions, like Amu, Fujima, and Moroboshi, although they have faded out of the national team, they are still active in the basketball world. Although Rukawa and Zebei cannot enter the NBA, they are also playing well in the second-tier American league. Kamiso Ichiro became the coach of Kainan High School, and Miyagi became the coach of Ryonan. Tsuchiya became an official of the Osaka Sports Association. But is there no other way out except entering the professional league or becoming a coach? Obviously not. Although we have the ability to play in the professional league, we want to do something more meaningful. This is why the three of us set up a basketball training camp to guide children. Playing basketball is not just for making money or becoming famous, as long as you feel the joy in it, it is enough."

"Haha, everyone has their own aspirations. I just think it's a pity, but you have done a really good job. Starting from scratch, now it has become a nationally renowned basketball training camp. At the beginning, there were only three coaches like you. Now, in addition to the three of you, there are more than 20 coaches including Kemei and Nakajima. It's quite outstanding." Yuzumi gave a thumbs up.

"Yuzumi, although you inherited the family business after graduation and bid farewell to the basketball world, you didn't give up basketball." Mu Mu pointed out the window. In the backyard of the hotel, there was a basketball stand.

"Yes, I have never given up basketball. In my spare time, I also teach my son to play basketball. At noon, Miyagi and Nanxiang came to me and invited me to form a team to participate in the "Ryoma Cup" 3VS3 competition held in Tokyo. In addition to the three of us, there are also two of our juniors."

"Uozumi, you guys are also participating in the Ryoma Cup," the three Shohoku players said in unison. After seeing Yuzumi nod in confirmation, Mugure said, "The three of us have also signed up for the competition. And Katsumi and Yohei have also joined our team. Our team name is "Old Boys Team." It seems that we will have a chance to play against each other again after many years."

"Okay, let's work hard together."

"Let's do our best"

Half a month later, the Ryoma Cup was held in Tokyo as scheduled. After three days of fierce competition, the Old Boys team entered the finals. Unfortunately, the "Brave Man" team, where Yuzumi was, was eliminated in the quarterfinals and failed to play against Mugure and his team. The opponent was the "Unbeaten King" team from Akita. The players of the two teams came to the sidelines

"Oh, it's you!" The players of the two teams looked at each other and said in unison. It turned out that the members of the Undefeated King were Fukatsu, Matsumoto, Ohkawada, Ono and their previous captain!

"You still have the nerve to call yourself the undefeated king, since you've been defeated by us so many times." Mu Mu teased

"That was in the past. We won't lose this time." Shen Jin's words remain unchanged.

"Alright. The players from both teams should talk about the past after the game. Jump ball." The referee interrupted the conversation.

Both sides stood at the free throw line, Akagi and Kawata jumped, and the referee threw the basketball into the air. Akagi and Kawata jumped at the same time. They could not see anything else but the basketball. (The End)
