Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

The moment the ball entered the net, the whole stadium suddenly became silent. No one spoke. The referee was also stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment. He picked up the whistle and blew the whistle to end the game. Then he signaled: "Please do not leave the field and wait for the referee to confirm whether the goal is valid" because it was really difficult to judge at that moment. The referee did not dare to make a hasty conclusion. Several referees and technical representatives gathered together to watch the video replay (the author only started watching the game in the late 90s, but it has been so long that he can no longer remember whether there was a video replay, so let's just assume there was.) Gao Touli walked over and planned to watch the video replay, but was rudely asked to leave by the referee.

"This Gaotou..." A hint of smile appeared on Tiangang Shigeichi's face. Seeing his old rival get defeated was the happiest thing in his life. "It would be better if it works. Hainan will be eliminated in the quarterfinals for the first time in more than ten years, and Gaotou will be fired. Hehehe." Tiangang Shigeichi smiled sinisterly, which made the players of Ryonan beside him shudder.

When the referee was watching the video and returning to defense, a Xiangbei player said, "Mitsui, are you okay?" After saving the ball, Mitsui couldn't get up at all. It was Xiangbei's seniors who helped him off the court. Mitsui covered his knees and said nothing. The door opened Mitsui's hand covering his knees, and Mitsui's knees were bruised. Mitsui broke out in cold sweats at the slightest touch.

The referees looked at it over and over again.

"The goal counts"

"Great!" Xiangbei players cheered, while Hainan players looked as if they were dead. But then the referee added another sentence

"Both sides are tied, entering overtime!"

"What?" The Xiangbei players felt like they were in an ice cellar, while the Hainan players felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Player No. 12 in white, stepped on the three-point line." After the referee's explanation, it turned out that after Mu Mu dribbled the ball sideways, the tip of one of his shoes stepped on the three-point line.

"What a pity for Xiangbei," Xiangyang's coach felt sorry for Xiangbei, "They had been holding their breath in the previous game, and with the end of the game, this breath has been released, and it is difficult to gather it up again, and..." Xiangyang's coach glanced at Xiangbei's player bench

"Damn it!" Murasakibara slammed his fist into the bench in frustration. Although the goal was valid and Xiangbei did not lose, Mitsui was no longer able to participate in the overtime. Moreover, Murasakibara had just sat down and did not want to get up again. Akagi collapsed without even walking back to the sidelines.

"Thank God, it's just overtime. Those freshmen from Xiangbei are definitely not going to be able to do it. We're sure to win," Hoshino said with a relaxed look on his face.

"Thank God? Don't you feel ashamed? An 18-point lead was tied by a group of freshmen from Xiangbei. Don't you feel ashamed? If Murasakibara had made a three-pointer, what would the headline of tomorrow's newspaper be? Have you ever thought about it?" Gao Touli began to scold the players again. For a moment, the faces of the Hainan players showed shame. Seeing that his scolding was effective, Gao Touli calmed down his emotions. "You have to win Xiangbei by more than points in overtime. Otherwise..."

"Coach, please stop talking. We must beat Xiangbei by more than 15 points." Hoshino guessed what the coach was going to say next and interrupted him.

"Beat Xiangbei by 15 points!" the Hainan players roared in unison.

"They want to win by 15 points. It seems that the Hainan players are really anxious." The voice of the Hainan players was so loud that it reached the ears of the Xiangbei players.

"Coach, I want to play. I won't let Hainan succeed." Mugure, Akagi, and even Mitsui stepped forward to ask for the fight.

"Kumure, Mitsui, Akagi, don't play. You still have a future. Especially Mitsui, don't let your injury get worse because of one game. You can leave the field with your heads held high." Coach Anzai calmly rejected the three's request to play.

"Leave it to us. We won't let Hainan win so easily. Even if Hainan wins, we will make them win in a disgusting way. We won't lose face even if we lose the game." Daimon Jiro said firmly, and then looked at several third-year players. "Iwami, Kiyotake, Tachibana. These are probably our last five minutes in high school. Let's burst out the energy we have accumulated over the past three years in these five minutes."

"Look at us!" the four third-year players shouted in unison

At the beginning of the overtime, four freshmen from Xiangbei and the sophomore student Kusao Takeshi fought desperately with Hainan. Although they were not as skilled as their opponents, their fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high. They fought for every ball and fell down.

"Senior..." Mu Mu's eyes filled with tears.

"Five, four, three, two, one" the buzzer sounded, Hainan defeated Xiangbei 96:89. Although Hainan won, Xiangbei's seniors did not let Hainan win by 15 points. Hainan only scored 9 points in overtime, 7 of which were from free throws.

"Woo~" I don't know who couldn't hold it in anymore and was the first to sob, and then as if it was contagious, everyone started crying.

"The first summer is over." Mu Mu tilted his head back, trying to keep his tears in his eyes, but they couldn't resist gravity and fell from the corners of his eyes, breaking into pieces on the ground. Mitsui and Akagi were already crying.

"Go line up." Anxi slowly walked to his players and patted their shoulders gently one by one.

"The result of the match between Hainan and Xiangbei: 96 to 89, Hainan won." The referee holding the ball announced the final result loudly.

"Thank you very much!" Players from both sides bowed to each other.

"Coach Anxi, this was a really wonderful game. You, Xiangbei, taught us a good lesson. Thank you," Gao Touli stretched out his right hand.

"Haha, Takashi, we are just learning from each other." Coach Anzai, who had gone through so much, looked calm. Takashi Riki, contrary to his usual behavior, shook hands with the Xiangbei players one by one. When it was Murasakibara's turn, Takashi Riki smiled and said, "18 points is nothing. I will post this sentence on the wall of the training hall in Hainan to warn my players not to relax at any time. Murasakibara, see you in the autumn national sports and winter selections."

Mu Mu smiled but did not answer.

In the autumn, each county selects its elite team to participate in the national competition. However, Kanagawa has always been the only team from Hainan to participate in the national competition, so other teams have no chance to participate.

Of course, winning the national championship in the winter trials is also a way to achieve the goal of dominating the country. However, after the summer competition, most of the third-year players of each team will choose to quit the team and turn their attention to further studies or employment. Without the addition of freshmen, most of the third-year players who are the main force will leave, and there is only one quota for each county. Therefore, except for teams with deep foundations such as Xiangyang and Hainan, other colleges and universities find it difficult to achieve good results in the winter.
