Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"Dominate the country?" Except for Katsumi and Nakajima who knew this slogan because they had participated in the training camp of Xiangbei before, the other freshmen were talking about it.

"Yes, dominating the country is our goal. Just like I said just now, since we have chosen to join the basketball club, we must have a goal, and we will fight for it. Imagine that when you become a father, your child asks you: Dad, what glorious moment did you have when you were young? Do you shyly answer: Dad used to play basketball, but he couldn't stand the intensity of training for a few days and quit the basketball team? Or do you proudly tell your child: Back then, your father survived the arduous training camp and won the national championship with his predecessors. Look, this is a photo of your father when he won the championship. Would you choose the former or the latter?"

"The latter!" everyone said in unison.

"Oh, what Kusao Takeshi said is very good. Next, we will develop your individual training plans." Coach Anzai stepped forward and made training arrangements for each player.

The third-year students Kusao Takeshi and Mori Qizhong are the captain and vice-captain. Captain Kusao Takeshi's half-court shot is very stable, and now he needs to practice more on his ball-handling offensive ability. The same is true for the vice-captain Mori Qizhong. The difference between the two is that one also needs to practice inside defense, while the other practices outside defense. Another third-year student, Ida Mitsuo, is mainly responsible for practicing shooting.

Second grade: Akagi, Mugure, Mitsui. The training method of Xiangbei trident remains unchanged and continues to be strengthened.

Tokuo Horita: His physique is average for an inside player, but he is quite strong. He should focus on practicing pick-and-roll, footwork, rebounding, and defensive skills.

Hasegawa Kazushi: I will continue to practice mid-range and long-range shooting, and practice more ball-handling offensive skills to become a face-to-frame forward.

Saito Kaihide: You also need to practice shooting, but he is currently practicing mainly mid-range shots, especially the pull-up jump shot after a speed breakthrough. A point guard can not score by himself, but he absolutely cannot not score.

First grade: Katsumi Ichiro, as a player with a soft touch, maintain his shooting accuracy and practice more perimeter defense. His defensive target in the team is Mitsui Shou

Nakajima Ryo: Practice hook shots and fadeaway jump shots on offense. At the same time, strengthen your physical confrontation ability. As an inside player, you can't stand in the inside without confrontation ability. In particular, practice your lower limb strength.

Hongming Yueyue: Mainly practice perimeter defense and mid-range shooting

Others: Mainly practice shooting, because Xiangbei has three excellent players, Akagi, Mitsui, and Mugure, who will definitely attract defense. The task of the rest is to throw the ball into the basket so that the opponent dare not double-team them. Then there are other switching exercises according to the different characteristics of the players. After hearing the training plans of each other, the freshmen naturally compared them with each other and found that almost everyone's plan was different. They were very moved, and their training enthusiasm suddenly rose. The basketball level of each one has improved visibly.

Half a month later, on this day, Coach Anxi came to the training hall: "Everyone stop training and gather together. I have already contacted the team for the practice match. This weekend (three days later), we will face the Tsukubu High School basketball team."

"The Tsukutake basketball team is also one of the top eight in the county. They are quite strong." Tsukutake also reached the quarterfinals in last year's county competition, but lost to Minowa High School in the quarterfinals.

"This is the only way to test our strength. It's meaningless to find a second-rate team to warm up and win by a large margin," said Mumu.

"Hehe, Murasakibara is right. Only by playing against strong teams can we see our own shortcomings. Because it is a warm-up match, I have decided that Akagi and Mitsui can only play half the game, and Murasakibara cannot start. And Akagi, I will not allow you to show off your mid-range shooting skills," Coach Anzai made a request.

"Yes, coach." Akagi, Mitsui and Kurumure expressed their understanding of Coach Anzai's arrangement. The warm-up match was mainly to rehearse the lineup, and with Akagi's strength, he would not face a strong challenge until the quarterfinals. Tsukuba's inside strength was average, and Akagi's low post singles were enough to deal with it.

Soon the day of the warm-up match arrived. Everyone was actively carrying out the final practice, either nervous or excited. The whole gym was filled with the sound of dribbling, until the door of the gym was opened in an instant.

"excuse me!!!"

A neat and deep voice exploded from the door. For a moment, all the noise in the hall died down, and all the players' eyes fell on the door. A group of people from Tsukutake High School dressed in green and white uniforms appeared in front of everyone.

"Teacher Anzai, long time no see." The first man, wearing a pair of large-framed glasses and with a gentle and delicate appearance, came to Coach Anzai. Facing Coach Anzai, he saluted and greeted him respectfully. It seems that he is Kazumi Kawasaki, a student of Coach Anzai during his university years.

"Oh, long time no see, Kawasaki-kun. Oh no, now it's Coach Kawasaki."

Coach Anxi smiled brightly.

The tall and strong coach Kawasaki was surprisingly well-behaved in front of coach Anzai. He touched his head shyly and replied embarrassedly: "No way? I have only been a coach for two years, and my training skills are still relatively poor. It's still a long way to go to become an excellent coach like the teacher!"

"Hahahaha, Kawasaki-kun will definitely become a very good coach."

"Yes, thank you teacher."

"Wow, the other coach is so respectful to our coach," some freshmen said.

"See? The opposing coach is so respectful. Let's not embarrass Coach Anzai. We must win this game," said Captain Kusao Takeshi, and then walked up to Kazumi Kawasaki: "Hello, Coach Kawasaki, I am Kusao Takeshi, the captain of the Shohoku team. Please give me your guidance."

At the same time, Tsukutake's main center forward Sanada Yuto came over to greet him, and then the captains of both teams shook hands.

"Godai, long time no see." Mugure and Akagi noticed the familiar face in Tsukubuki's team and walked over to say hello.

"Akagi, Mumu, long time no see. We will not lose this game. Our goal this year is to enter the national competition. I have been training hard for two years for this goal." Wu Dai said with a firm face.

"Haha, you'll know after you compare it." Mu Mu smiled indifferently

When the starting players of Xiangbei came on the court, Tsukutake coach Kazumi Kawasaki raised an eyebrow: "Coach Anzai, you didn't send all the main players to play. Do you look down on us, Xiangbei?" Tsukutake's players took a look at the Xiangbei players who came on the court and were also very angry. It turned out that Murasaki and Mitsui were both sitting on the bench. "Since Xiangbei didn't send Murasaki and Mitsui to play, then we will give Xiangbei a warning, show your results, and let Xiangbei see your strength." Kazumi Kawasaki made the final deployment and instructions. His friendly expression was firm and his eyes were bright. "Godai, Natsume, although Xiangbei's starting lineup has Akagi, a first-class inside player in the county, their back line does not have Mitsui and Murasaki, and their strength is average. Scoring from the outside is the most critical point for us to win. So you two must use 100% of your strength to meet it. Sanada, use your mid-range shot to pull Akagi out and make Xiangbei's basket vacant. Then we will have a chance to score under the basket. It's up to you."

With the whistle of Xiangbei’s physical education teacher, the warm-up match officially began!
