Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

The next day was Saturday, which was a holiday, but many Xiangbei players still came to the gym to practice.

"Dad, I'm done eating. I'm going to Shohoku to practice basketball." At a construction site, Sakuragi Hanamichi swallowed the last bite of food.

"Go, play well and listen to your brother Murasaki." Takeo Sakuragi looked at his child lovingly. Since playing basketball, Hanamichi Sakuragi almost stopped fighting and became much more well-behaved. At the same time, when Takeo Sakuragi's condition recovered, Murasaki recommended Takeo Sakuragi to work in Murasaki's father's unit. Although Takeo Sakuragi was depressed for a while because of the previous things, he was still a good engineer overall. As a result, he was hired. Considering that Takeo Sakuragi, a grown man, had to take care of Hanamichi Sakuragi. It happened that there was a project near the Sakuragi family, so Takeo Sakuragi was arranged at this construction site, and Hanamichi Sakuragi was allowed to eat in the construction site cafeteria for free. With a job, the conditions of the Sakuragi family gradually improved. Although they were still at the bottom of society, they had no problem with food and clothing. Takeo Sakuragi bought Hanamichi Sakuragi a pair of basketball shoes after the first month's expenses. Sakuragi, who received his father's care, also changed a lot in character, and was no longer as perverse as before. The title of bad boy slowly moved away from Sakuragi.

"Yohei, hurry up, it's all your fault for not paying attention when riding your bike. You punctured the tire and it took so long to repair it, which made us come so late." Sakuragi complained to Mito Yohei

"You blame me. You kept urging me to ride faster, and when I saw the nail, I couldn't brake in time, causing a puncture."

"Why blame me? Blame yourself for not looking at the road properly," Sakuragi complained as he ran back. "Bang!" A girl screamed "Ouch!" Sakuragi turned back and realized that he hadn't noticed and bumped into a girl in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice. Are you okay?" Sakuragi apologized and helped the girl up. When Sakuragi's eyes fell on the girl, he was stunned. The girl in front of him had flowing brown hair, black pupils as gentle as water, bright and strong, cute and pure appearance, petite and adorable, which made Sakuragi stare at her in a trance.

"I'm fine. Wow, you're so tall." The girl stood up and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi. "You must be 1.85 meters tall, and you have such strong muscles." Sakuragi had taken off his coat because of running, which made the girl notice Sakuragi's muscles. "Excuse me, are you a basketball player?"

"No... Yes, my name is Sakuragi Hanamichi, and I'm a basketball player."

"Are you a player of Xiangbei? I have been to Xiangbei basketball stadium to find my brother, but why have I never seen you before? Oh, sorry, my name is Akagi Haruko"

"We are not high school students. My name is Mito Yohei. Sakuragi Hanamichi and I are both in the third grade of junior high school." Yohei came over

"Are you all junior high school students? But why have I never heard of your names?" Akagi Haruko was a little curious.

"We both started playing basketball last summer and joined the Wako Junior High School basketball team this year."

Let’s go back to the beginning of this semester.

"Hanamichi, Yohei. You two have been practicing with us for nearly half a year. You should also consider joining your junior high school's basketball team." After the training, Mugure called Sakuragi and Yohei.

"Our junior high school basketball team? Too bad. I heard that Wako Junior High School only won two games last year and went home in the third round. Playing against them is really a drag on this genius." Sakuragi responded with disdain

"Senior Muguro, I don't want to join either. There was a guy named Oda in the Wako basketball team. He saw us practicing one time and made fun of us. He said that playing basketball was a blasphemy to the sport and we should give up as soon as possible. I really wanted to beat him up at that time." Mito Yohei also responded with an ugly face

"Sakuragi, Yohei, you have to think about this carefully. First, it is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Second, it is called "applying what you have learned". This is an idiom from China. Any team is not very strong at the beginning, and they all have experienced the trough of being weak. Take Xiangbei for example. This year we are in the quarterfinals of the summer league and the semifinals of the winter league. Do you know that Xiangbei was only a team that was eliminated in the first round before we joined? Although in your heart, Heguang Middle School is not a particularly strong team, but if it can be helped by your help, it will also become stronger and achieve excellent results, isn't it more worthy of cherishing and commemoration than directly joining a strong team and enjoying the fruits of its labor? This is exactly what I said, "It is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow". Moreover, although after this year, your basic skills and various techniques have been relatively solid, you have no competition experience. You must know that no matter how good the training effect is, it cannot compare to the test of a real game. Only through competition can you gain experience, exercise your psychology, hone your skills, and apply what you have learned. Otherwise, the skills you have practiced will only become useless flower racks!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei were silent and lost in thought.

"Yohei, just now you said that Oda insulted you and you wanted to beat him up, but why didn't you beat him up?" Mu Mu asked

"I feel like I'm already a basketball player and I shouldn't use violence to solve problems."

"Very good, Yohei, you are absolutely right to think so. Oda is prejudiced against you two because of your past, which is understandable. But you two have changed a lot, so use your performance on the basketball court to change their views. As an excellent basketball player, you must not only have outstanding skills, but also be mature in your interpersonal relationships. You must learn to tolerate everything. I believe that with your performance, Oda will slowly change his opinion."

"The most important point, Sakuragi, you are now a member of Wako Junior High School. It is your natural thing to help our school team. Of course, if you can perform well in the county competition, maybe... you can become a star player in the county..." Murasakibara, who knew Sakuragi's character well, added fuel to the fire. Murasakibara knew that "becoming a star player in the county" was like scratching the itch for Sakuragi Hanamichi, who loved to show off.

"Hahaha, brother Murasaki is right, Yohei, let's join the basketball team and lead the team to dominate the county, and then we will become star players in the county." Sakuragi showed a smug smile on his face again. It has to be said that as long as he said words like "show off", Sakuragi Hanamichi would definitely be fooled and confused.

After school started, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei found the basketball coach of Wako Junior High School and said they wanted to join the basketball team.

"Sakuragi, Mito? You two want to join the basketball team?" The basketball coach was also stunned. The names of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei are well-known in Wako Junior High School. Fights, brawls, and skipping classes are almost commonplace. The two also formed the "Sakuragi Army" with three other people (Takamiya, Ohkusu, and Noma: Hey, what are the other three people). Students in the school change color whenever they mention this name. Why did these two suddenly think of joining the basketball team? Don't cause trouble, but if you reject these two people, they will make a fuss. The basketball coach Sanmao Kazuo feels torn.

"Hey, uncle, give me an answer," Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little impatient. The calm Mito Yohei thought of something and stopped Sakuragi, "Coach, you can see our strength first before making a decision."

"Okay, okay," Sanmao Yifu had no choice but to agree.

Sakuragi naturally performed his favorite slam dunk. After a few slam dunks, Sanmao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Mito Yohei also simply demonstrated his dribbling skills, dribbling between the legs and behind the back. His basic movements were extremely skillful.

"Okay, Sakuragi-san, Mito-san, I agree that you can join the Wako Junior High School basketball team. Today is Friday, and you will report to the basketball team next Monday." Seeing the two of them behave like this, Sanmao Kazuo immediately agreed to the two.
