Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Three days later, the Xiangbei team members were training. Suddenly, the door of the training hall opened and a red-haired boy led a middle-aged man in.

"Oh, Sakuragi." Mu Mu noticed the person coming and went over to say hello.

"Dad, it was this guy with glasses who brought a few people to help us."

"Hanmichi, don't be rude. You can't address people like that. Classmate, what's your name? My name is Sakuragi Takeo, and this is my son Sakuragi Hanamichi. Because he lost his mother when he was young, he doesn't speak politely. Don't take it personally." The middle-aged man stopped Sakuragi.

"It's okay, my name is Kogure Mitsunobu, Sakuragi-san. How did you find us?"

"I remember you mentioned the name Xiangbei at that time, and I remembered it, Dad. This Mu Mu brother is a good man. He knew that I didn't have enough money, so he lent us some money."

"Kumure-san, thank you so much. This is the money you paid in advance, I'm returning it to you." Sakuragi Takeo took out a wad of money from the small package he was carrying.

"That's not possible, Uncle Sakuragi. You haven't recovered yet and still need to replenish your nutrition. There's no rush to pay us back." Murasakibara waved his hands.

"Oh, what's going on?" Coach Anxi appeared in the gym and noticed Sakuragi and his son.

"Hello, coach!" The Xiangbei players quickly stood in a line.

"Hehe, hello everyone, what's going on?" Coach Anzai waved his hand and continued to ask. At this time, Sakuragi Takeo suddenly shuddered, turned around, and said in a lost voice, "You, you are Coach Anzai?!" His words were full of joy.

"Oh? You are..." Coach Anzai looked at Takeo Sakuragi.

"Coach Anzai, I'm Takeo Sakuragi. Do you remember when you were coaching at Yokohama National University 18 years ago, you were also the head coach of the women's basketball team and there was a foreign female basketball player named Lauren?"

"Lauren..." Coach Anzai noticed Sakuragi's red hair. "I remember now, oh? You are Lauren's boyfriend, two years older than Lauren, and a pitcher on the baseball team. Am I wrong?"

"Yes, yes, I am the pitcher of the baseball team, Sakuragi Takeo. I didn't expect that Coach Anzai still remembers me. That's great. This is my son Sakuragi Hanamichi."

"I also thought of Lauren when I saw Sakuragi's red hair. She was an excellent player. I heard that you got married after Lauren graduated. Where is Lauren?"

"Alas... Two years after Hanamichi was born, Lauren returned to her country to pick up her parents, but on the way back, she died in a plane crash." Sakuragi Takeo lowered his head. "I didn't play baseball after graduation, but worked in architecture, which I majored in college. Three years ago, my partner absconded... Alas..."

"What a pity!" Coach Anxi also sighed.

"A few days ago, I had an acute illness and your players saved me. Today I came here to thank them," Sakuragi Takeo continued to explain.

"Oh, you did a great job," Coach Anxi nodded.

"I'm here to pay back the money, and I'll leave after I pay it back. I'm really sorry to disturb your training time." Sakuragi Takeo seemed to realize something and bowed again and again

"Haha, forget it, this kid has a really good physique." Coach Anzai turned his gaze to Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Uncle Sakuragi, I've already said that there's no rush to pay back the money. Your health is the most important thing." Mugure waved his hand again. Sakuragi Takeo still insisted, and Mugure still refused.

"Okay, Takeo Sakuragi, I've made the decision for the kids. You keep the money first. Keeping healthy is the most important thing. It's not easy for a grown man to take care of children. You guys continue training. I'll chat with an old friend." Coach Anzai waved his hand, and the Xiangbei players continued training. Coach Anzai and Takeo Sakuragi sat on a bench and chatted. Sakuragi watched the Xiangbei players training like a good baby

"Akagi, dunk." Murasakibara suddenly realized that this was the best opportunity to recruit Sakuragi, and immediately whispered to Akagi.

"What?" Akagi was a little confused.

"I'll explain it to you later, hurry up and dunk," Mu Mu Lian Lian urged. If I wasn't so incompetent now, would I be able to dunk with you? Mu Mu thought to himself.

"Oh, okay." Although he was confused, Akagi still dunked the ball.

"So handsome!" As expected, Sakuragi saw this scene and muttered to himself.

"Oh? Sakuragi, do you like playing basketball?" Coach Anxi noticed Sakuragi's expression.

"Sakuragi is a kid who has good physical fitness, but he has never played basketball," Sakuragi Takeo explained.

"Hey, Sakuragi, this is called a dunk, it's the most amazing technique on the basketball court, are you interested in trying it? Mumu suddenly threw the ball to Sakuragi."

"Okay, I'll try." Sakuragi grabbed the ball, recalled Akagi's movements, jumped from the free throw line and dunked!

"Jumping over the free throw line?!" The Xiangbei players were dumbfounded.

"Bang!" Apparently, Sakuragi Hanamichi had not yet mastered this skill. The ball hit the rim and he fell heavily to the ground, but no one laughed at Sakuragi. Sakuragi's shocking jump left a deep impression on everyone in Xiangbei. "This guy has such a good physique," even the picky Akagi couldn't help but sigh. Coach Anzai couldn't help but stand up, "Sakuragi Takeo, your child is very talented!"

Apparently, Sakuragi Takeo was also somewhat shocked by his son's performance. "I knew this kid could run and jump, but I never thought..."

"This child has inherited the genes of you and Helen very well," Coach Anxi muttered to himself.

Sakuragi Takeo realized something, "Hanamichi, they saved me, didn't you say you would repay them? You can play basketball with them, it's better than just hanging around all day."

Sakuragi's father's "assist" was so timely, and Mu Mu secretly praised him. He walked to Sakuragi Hanamichi and said, "We are a team that aspires to dominate the country, but it is not enough to have just a few of us. We need more people to help. Join us. Helping us is a way to repay us."

Sakuragi was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, I hate basketball. Many of the girls I like rejected me because they liked basketball players. I hate basketball."

"Sakuragi, you——" Sakuragi Takeo was at a loss for words regarding his son's stubbornness.

"Sakuragi, now that you've said that, think about it the other way around. If you were a good basketball player, wouldn't girls like you?" Murasakibara didn't give up.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Okay, Brother Mugure, I decided to play basketball."

"Welcome, Sakuragi Hanamichi!"
