Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"Captain, I want to take a leave to watch the national competition, but don't worry, I won't stop training while watching the national competition." Mugure asked Kusao Takeshi for leave

"Hmm... OK." Kusao Tsuyoshi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Mumu usually trains very hard and often does extra training. For such a self-disciplined junior, Kusao Tsuyoshi had no reason to object.

"Captain, I want to go too." Mitsui and Akagi also made a request

"Well... let's put it this way. You guys also want to see the best players in the country, so just postpone your trip for two days and watch the games after the quarterfinals. You don't need to watch the first three rounds." Kusao Takeshi thought for a moment.

"Captain, how about this? I'll go there during the second round. In case a strong team comes along early, I can bring a video camera to record their game. I'll go there for the quarterfinals against Akagi and Mitsui," Murasaki suggested.

"Well, this way I won't miss the game. Okay. I agree." Kusao Takeshi nodded. "I can apply to the school to use the video recorder. But I have to bring my own videotapes."

"Thank you Captain"

On the second day of the national competition, Mugure arrived in Kyoto. Watching the national competition, today, the seeded teams also took the stage, and the first to appear was Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School. It was a calm and slightly boring game. Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School defeated the opponent 82:32.

"It's just as Mitsui said. Hakata is a strong team that is better at defense than offense. Although we only scored 82 points, the opponent only scored 32 points. Moreover, Hakata didn't play at full strength. The main players only played for half the game before all resting. It is a nationally renowned team, and it lives up to its reputation."

"Hey, Mumu, why are you here?" It turned out that the Hainan team also came to watch the game

"Hello, Senior Hoshino. I'm here to watch the game. I want to see the strength of the teams from all regions across the country."

"In fact, the level of each place in the national competition is also uneven. If Takeshi and Minowa from Kanagawa participate in the national competition, it is not impossible for them to win one or two games. Even your Xiangbei, as long as you have good luck, you will not be defeated in the first round." Hoshino introduced the national competition to Murasaki

Mu Mu nodded in agreement. This is indeed the case in the original novel, and there are many games with big scores in the first round.

"You must pay close attention to the next game. Sanno Industrial was the champion last year and is also the favorite to win this year." Hoshino continued to introduce the next round of opponents

Next, Sannoh played. It was Sannoh's first appearance and he was quite cautious. All the main players appeared. As expected of Sannoh, they never underestimated any opponent. In the plot year, all the main players appeared against Xiangbei. However, the opponent was not Xiangbei, and they only played for ten minutes. The score was 33:8, and Sannoh was already 25 points ahead.

The resounding cheers from the entire stadium caused Sanwang's opponents to give up resistance.

"This is the Sannoh team, playing against Sannoh. Not only against the Sannoh players, but also against the entire audience."

"Senior Hoshino, Sanno was only the champion last year, why are there so many fans supporting Sanno?" In the original story, it was only introduced that Sanno was the champion for three consecutive years. It is understandable that there are many fans supporting him. But this is only the first year. Why are there so many fans?

"Kumure, you are wrong. Sanno did not rise in recent years. As early as ten years ago, Sanno was a national powerhouse. It won 7 championships. The year before last, if their center had not been injured in the battle with our Hainan and missed the finals, the championship would not have been taken away by Hakata Corporation. Even if Sanno was missing its main center, it only lost to Hakata Corporation by 5 points. If it had won the championship the year before last, including last year, Sanno would have won four consecutive championships."

"I see"

In the second half, Sanno began to rotate the main players. Players No. 12 and No. 13 attracted the attention of everyone in Kanagawa. Under the strict defense of No. 12, Sanno's opponent No. 4, who was also the point guard on the court, could not break through his defense and was intercepted by No. 12. No. 12 made a long pass to No. 13, who made a layup. The opponent's big center blocked the shot. No. 13 straightened his waist and made a backhand shot. The ball went in, causing a foul.

"Looking at their numbers, these two should be first-year players. Amu and Mu Mu are your opponents, so be careful," Hoshino warned solemnly.

"Yes, Captain," Mu Shen nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Hoshino, for the reminder." Muguro, who was familiar with the original work, had already recognized that these two people were the captain of Sanno in the plot year, Kazunari Fukatsu, and the second ace, Minoru Matsumoto.

The content of the subsequent games was not very good. Later, Nobe and Kawada also appeared one after another. Kawada was just as described in the original book. He was not tall and seemed to have not developed yet. Although his skills were not as good as Fukatsu's, he was also quite skilled. And Nobe also grabbed 10 rebounds during his playing time.

"It's our turn, Ikuzo" Hoshino called the team members to come on stage "Kumure, cheer for us"

"What's there to cheer for, Hainan? If you don't win by 40 points, don't say you're from Kanagawa." Mugure joked

"You look down on us, Mumu. If we score less than 40 points, we will lose," Vice Captain Kameda responded. In the end, Hainan did win by 43 points and advance to the next round.

Then, the fourth seed team came on stage. Murasakibara originally thought that the fourth seed team would be Aiwa Gakuen, but unexpectedly it was Kyoto's local team, Roan High School. It seems that Aiwa Gakuen has become even stronger after the addition of Dai Moroboshi. Roan lived up to the name of the seed team. They eliminated their opponent at 91:53. Murasakibara was the only one watching the game, and this stadium was only for the seeded teams. Murasakibara therefore missed many games. However, according to reports, Murasakibara knew that the Shoyo team eliminated their opponent again. Advance to the top 16

The next day, Mu Mu went to other gyms to watch other strong teams. The first one was Aiwa Gakuen. And Aiwa Gakuen's opponent was the Shoyo team. Coincidentally, Maki Shinichi also rushed to the gym.

"Amu, if you come to watch the game, won't you miss your own game?" Mu Mu asked

"It's okay. Our game will be held in the afternoon, and I have time to rush back. You should know that my junior high school is in Aichi Prefecture, so I came to watch the game of Aiwa Academy. It seems that you, Mugure, also know Moroboshi-sama well."

"Yes, I heard Mitsui mention the name of Dai Moroboshi before. Mitsui once fought Dai Moroboshi at the All-China Conference, and Dai Moroboshi left a deep impression on him."

"When I was in junior high school, I was in a different junior high school from Moroboshi Dai. He played shooting guard. In the final that year, my team lost to Moroboshi by 3 points. Although we were rivals, we were also good friends in private. After the All-Junior High School Tournament, Moroboshi mentioned Mitsui's name to me. We had originally agreed to come to Aiwa Gakuen together. But Coach Takato from Kainan found me, and coincidentally, my father had a job change, so I came to Kanagawa."

"If you continue to go to school in Aichi Prefecture, then I don't know how powerful Aiwa Academy will be, with a golden backcourt of duos."

"Hahaha, there aren't so many ifs. Okay, the game has started, let's watch it."

With a whistle, the match between Shoyo and Aiwa Gakuen officially begins!
