Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"The joint finals are much more exciting than our previous matches." Hasegawa looked around and was a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised by anything you have never seen before. The atmosphere of the stadium is also a part of the game. Don't let yourself be too nervous to perform to your full potential when we step onto the stage of the joint finals next time," Mumu said with a smile.

Off the field was the game between Buri and Shoyo.

"This forward combination works well together." Wuli used the cooperation between No. 8 and No. 9, and No. 8 dunked to give Shoyo a warning. But Shoyo was not to be outdone. Guard No. 13 passed two people in a row, attracted the defense in the interior, and then passed the ball to the center to score.

"This No. 13 is not bad, his breakthrough ability is very strong. No. 13... is he still a first-year student?" Akagi was a little surprised.

"Well, it should be. However, he can be a main player in the talented Shoyo team, which shows his strength. But how come I have never seen this person in junior high school?" Mitsui tried his best to recall.

"His name is Fujima Kenji. It is said that he is a player recruited from another county, so you don't know him. Um... Are you a member of the Xiangbei team?!" A spectator with a mustache nearby heard the discussion, turned his head and answered, looking at the Xiangbei players, and said in surprise

"You are..."

"Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm the owner of xx sporting goods store, my name is Matsuda Hiroshi. I watched your game. It was quite exciting, but it was a pity. However, over the years, there are not many teams that have put Hainan in such a tough fight in the quarterfinals."

"Uncle, have you been watching Hainan's games all these years?" Murasakibara had already guessed that this person was the unlucky shop owner from whom Sakuragi bought two pairs of high-end basketball shoes at a low price.

"Yes, I am familiar with most of the players of the strong teams in the county."

"Well, uncle, please introduce us to the players off the court." Mu Mu was only familiar with the players from the plot year. He didn't know the players from the plot year at all. He also had to get to know the players before that. Only by knowing each other well can you win every battle.

"Okay, let me introduce you to the players of the Shoyo team. Shoyo has been ranked second in the prefecture in recent years. No. 13 Fujima Kenji is a point guard recruited from Gunma Prefecture. Although he plays as a point guard, his scoring ability is also excellent. In the quarterfinals, the offensive power he showed was not inferior to Mitsui-san. He scored 20 points in the first half."

"20 points in the first half?! What an outstanding offensive power. Murasakibara..." Everyone focused their attention on Murasakibara.

"I won't lose to him." Mu Mu looked at Fujima off the court with a firm face.

"Captain No. 4 is a small forward, and his scoring ability is not inferior to Fujima. Although their inside players are not tall, they are very flexible and can shoot accurately." Matsuda continued to introduce the Shoyo players to the Xiangbei players.

Through Matsuda's introduction and watching the game, Xiangbei's players have some understanding of Xiangyang's strength. This is a fast-paced offensive team, very similar to Touou in Osaka. At this time, Xiangyang still has a coach, and this coach is also very young. It seems that this is the current offensive style of Xiangyang. Probably because of the continuous losses in the interior, the coach was changed in the plot year, and the playing style was also changed, using the tactics of four tall players + Fujima to contain Hainan.

"Next, I'd like to introduce the Buri team. Buri was an unknown team before, but last year, the Kobayashi brothers, who led Yokota to win the prefectural junior high school championship, joined the team. The team's strength has improved a lot, and they eliminated Tohoko High School and entered the semi-finals. The twins have a tacit understanding in the interior and are the hub of Buri's offense and defense."

"Sure enough, no wonder they were able to win the third place before the plot year, beating Ryonan, which had the largest giant fish pillar in the county and the offensive maniac Sendo. They really have the strength. Akagi, you have to be careful of the twin inside players." The Buri twin inside players grabbed most of the backcourt rebounds on the defensive end and blocked 2 shots for Shoyo's inside players. On the offensive end, they also cooperated well and scored points against Shoyo's inside players. The difference between Buri and Shoyo has always been within three points.

"Well, I'll pay close attention," Akagi said with a serious face.

As the game progressed, Shoyo still had the upper hand. Although Buri's inside strength was stronger than Shoyo's, its forward and guard strength was mediocre, especially the point guard, who was no match for Fujima. After Fujima pressed Buri's guard, he stole the ball continuously. Buri's twins had a hard time getting the ball inside. In the end, Shoyo defeated Buri 83:70.

Next up is the match between Hainan and Minowa.

"I won't introduce Hainan in detail. Minowa High School... is my alma mater. 15 years ago, when Hainan dominated Kanagawa for the first time, it defeated our Minowa High School. At that time, I was the starting shooting guard of Minowa." Matsuda didn't say anything else, probably lost in his memories. After a while, Matsuda came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I thought of some past events. Although I don't want to admit it, Minowa's strength has declined a lot in recent years. Four years ago, it was knocked off the runner-up position by Shoyo. To be disrespectful to my alma mater, if you, Shohoku, played against Minowa in the quarterfinals, you would have a % chance of reaching the joint finals. But this is competitive sports. Sometimes, luck is also a factor."

"If you want to enter the national competition, Shoyo and Buri are opponents that cannot be ignored and must be defeated." Matsuda gave the Shohoku players a piece of advice

"Thank you, Manager Matsuda. Shoyo and Buri are indeed opponents that must be defeated, but we want to end Hainan's winning streak more." Mugure clenched his right fist

"Yes, our goal is to end Hainan's winning streak and then dominate the country," others echoed.

Matsuda did not laugh at the Xiangbei players for overestimating their abilities. He could feel Xiangbei's determination. This year, Xiangbei was so immature that they could fight with Hainan in overtime. What will happen if Xiangbei matures in the future? Maybe they will really realize their dream. Xiangbei team, I am optimistic about you. I hope you can beat Xiangbei and avenge my alma mater, Matsuda Hiroshi thought to himself.

After watching the game, Muguro looked at his watch. "It's still early. We've been sitting for half a day. Why don't we run a few stations first and stretch our bodies. Just consider it as exercise. Then we can take the train back to school. How about that?"

"no problem"

"I know a route that's relatively quiet and suitable for running," Hasegawa suddenly said

"Okay, let's run this way." The five Xiangbei people started running practice. When they passed an intersection, a voice suddenly came.

"Let me through quickly, my father is sick, I need to call an ambulance. I don't have time to fight with you!" a teenager shouted anxiously.
