Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"What's wrong, Maki-san? Are you nervous because it's your first time performing in Kanagawa?" Takato Riki noticed something was wrong with Maki Shinichi.

"That Mu Mu is so annoying, he keeps nagging."

"Don't hide anything from him. Tell him everything." Gao Touli said seriously.

"They said I was... a repeater, and that the reason Hainan always wins is because there are always repeaters," Mu Shenyi replied with gritted teeth.

"Hee... eh?" Hearing the first half of the sentence, Hoshino was about to laugh, but when he heard the second half, his face suddenly darkened. "This bastard first-year kid, saying that Amu is old (Amu: I don't call that old, I mean mature, mature!) is fine, but he actually dared to say that our Hainan relies on repeaters. Our Hainan relied on a steady stream of students and hard training to win the Kanagawa championship. I must teach these little brats of Xiangbei a lesson."

"Amu, don't pay attention to the opponent's provocation. Your first priority is to organize the team's offense. Fighting back is secondary. The game has just begun, don't be in a hurry."

"I'm sorry, coach. I was a little impatient." Maki Shinichi also realized his mistake and apologized quickly.

“That’s good,” Takato Riki nodded with satisfaction. It took a lot of effort to recruit this Maki Shinichi from Aichi Prefecture. His strength is actually not inferior to that of the same grade as Moroboshi Dai. It’s just that his teammates are not very strong, so they lost to Moroboshi Dai’s school and missed the opportunity to participate in the All-Junior High School Conference. A freshman in high school, although he looks mature (Maki Shinichi: Hey, coach, don’t rub salt into my wounds), he is still a freshman after all. It is normal to be provoked. Thinking of this, “Maki-san, the next focus of the offense will be handed over to our ace center. As long as Hoshino opens the situation, our offense will be unimpeded.”

In the rest area of ​​Xiangbei, Mu Mu wiped his sweat. Provoking Maki Shinichi's emotions was just a test. After all, Maki Shinichi was still a freshman in high school, not the emperor of the senior year. If it succeeds, it's the best. If it doesn't, it's enough. This little trick can probably only be used for a while, but Hainan's coach Gao Touli is not an ordinary person, and there will definitely be adjustments. Next time, Maki Shinichi will not be so stubborn in singles.

"Next, Takato will most likely focus his attack on the inside, so it's up to you, Akagi. Daimon, if Hainan really plays Hoshino, you can double-team and steal the ball." Coach Anzai guessed Hainan's next tactic and made corresponding arrangements.

After the timeout, Xiangbei served the ball from the sideline, and Mu Mu got the ball, "Akagi, it's up to you" and gave the ball to Akagi

"Come on, first-year boy" Hoshino was ready.

Akagi backed up and played against Hoshino, but Hoshino's strength was no less than Akagi's. He had no choice but to pass the ball back to Mugure, who passed it back again. Akagi received the ball, turned left, and planned to turn and cut in.

"Want to turn around and cut in? It won't be that easy." Hoshino slid to the left to block Akagi's attack route, but Akagi just feinted to the left, then turned to the right, jumped, and shot. Hoshino moved his center of gravity to the left. He was too late to block it. The ball hit the backboard and went into the basket.

"Hmm... this Akagi has very skilled footwork under the basket." Gao Touli touched his chin.

"Good boy, you have some strength", being shaken off by Akagi and scoring a goal also ignited Hoshino's fighting spirit

Hainan attacked, "Mu" Xingye stood in position and asked for the ball. The captain gave the order, and Mu Shenyi would not disobey and immediately handed the ball to the captain

"Come on, Senior Hoshino" Akagi scored a goal and was full of confidence

Hoshino catches the ball, faces the basket, raises his hands above his head, and seems to be about to shoot

"Hmph, just a fake move," Akagi made a judgment. "What?" Hoshino jumped up and shot directly, and Akagi had no time to block it, and the ball went in! Hainan broke the goal drought

“I didn’t expect it to be a basketball shot.”

"It's okay, Akagi, you can make up for the points you lost by yourself," Captain Da Men comforted the rookie.

Akagi got the ball inside, lowered his shoulders, dribbled, and exerted force. Hoshino did not lose his position. But Akagi raised the ball above his head with one hand and flicked his wrist slightly.

"It's a hook shot." Xingye jumped up to block the shot, but the ball was shot from a very high point. The ball passed over Xingye's fingertips, landed on the back edge of the basket, hit the front edge, knocked twice, and rolled into the net.

"Good boy, you have a lot of offensive skills. Come on." This time, Hoshino received the ball. He shot again.

"I won't let you score easily, um... where's the ball?" Akagi jumped up to block the shot, but found that he didn't touch the ball. Hoshino made a fake move, ignited Akagi, bypassed Akagi's defense, and scored a dunk!

"Tsk, this time it was a fake move, humph, I'll hit it back." Akagi asked for the ball again. Just as Mugure was about to pass the ball, he found something wrong. It turned out that Kainan's Yoshikawa was about to steal the ball. Mugure passed it to Kusao Tsuyoshi instead. Kusao Tsuyoshi made a mid-range shot but missed. But Akagi was quick-witted and bypassed Yoshikawa. He jumped first and pushed the ball into the basket. Hoshino was blocked by Yoshikawa and didn't have time to jump to block it.

"I'm sorry, Hoshino" Yoshikawa apologized after realizing that he had done something wrong with good intentions

"It's okay. Akagi is really strong, I have to show my real skills." This time, Hoshino did not choose to ask for the ball under the basket, but stood at the free throw line to receive the ball. Akagi did not follow out, and after Hoshino received the ball, he shot directly.

What? Akagi rushed over to block the shot, but it was too late. "It's so far, it won't go in," Akagi turned around. "Swish!" Hit!

"This guy's shooting range is as wide as the free throw line. It's such a wide range." Akagi looked incredulous.

All three rounds were completed by the center of each team. Although the offensive methods were different, the inside players of both teams were in great shape. Who will be stopped from scoring first?
