Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

"Give me the ball," Murasakibara gestured for the ball, "Watch this!" After dribbling the ball a few times, Murasakibara jumped up and shot, his body leaning back and flying backwards, "Swish!" The ball went in, and Murasakibara stood one meter away from the shooting position.

Futian was shocked and said, "Is this a fadeaway jump shot?"

"That's right, it's a fadeaway jump shot. Although the shooting point is difficult to improve, you can move backwards. If you have mastered this move, you should be able to counter Yuzhu's height." After saying that, Murasakibara threw the basketball to Fukuda and said, "Practice well, I'm looking forward to your performance." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Futian looked at Mugure's back and suddenly said, "Mugure-senpai, although I was expelled from the Ryonan basketball team, I am still a student of Ryonan. Aren't you worried that after I learn it, I will bring trouble to you, Xiangbei?"

"I didn't think that much. You are a good seedling, and I don't want you to waste your talent because you don't get the right guidance."

"I am a good seedling, I have talent, and Senior Murasakibara is such a good person." Fukuda, who was eager to be recognized by others, burst into tears when he heard Murasakibara's words.

"Muro-senpai, I have another question. Can I play ball with you?"

Mu Mu paused, turned around and said with a smile, "You are welcome anytime, but I can't come to the outdoor basketball court often. You can go to Xiangbei to find me, provided that you don't mind the distance. But I believe in Futian's ambition."

"I have an ambitious heart, I have an ambitious heart, I am a good seedling, I have talent" Not long after Mu Mu and others left, Futian was still repeating this sentence on the basketball court

"Mumu, how did you think of giving this kid some advice?" Mitsui asked curiously.

"Don't you think this kid is good at playing basketball? It would be great if he could come to Shohoku," Murasakibara replied. Murasakibara did want to recruit Fukuda. After all, Fukuda's offensive ability was still quite outstanding. He did have technical shortcomings, but it was not easy for someone who had not received much formal training to reach such a level. It could be seen that Fukuda had also put in a lot of effort.

"Well... he does have a nice body. He's also proactive in practicing. Although his practice method is wrong, his initiative is commendable. But from what he said, he was kicked out of the basketball team. He has a problem with his character." Akagi, a good student, still cares about Fukuda's character.

"With Coach Anzai here and the three of us here, even if he really joins, it won't cause much trouble. In fact, this is probably the reason why I didn't take the initiative to invite him." Although Murasakibara said this, what he was thinking in his heart was that even someone as strict as Takeoka could tame Fukuda, let alone Coach Anzai. You know, Coach Anzai's reputation is much bigger than Takeoka's, and in the original book, the problem children of Shohoku were also obedient in front of Coach Anzai.

On the second day of training, Mu Mu and his two teammates were talking to the other players of Xiangbei about the situation of the game against Ryonan yesterday. At this time, the door opened.

"Senior Kogure, I'm here." Yoshitaka Fukuda appeared at the door.

"Kumure, who is this?" Kusao Takeshi asked

"His name is Fukuda. He was a member of the former Ryonan team. I met him on the outdoor basketball court yesterday." Mu Mu did not hide anything and told the captain everything.

"A member of the Ryonan team?" Kusao Takeshi frowned. "Kumure, you are the one who brought the person here. I will leave it to you now."

"Captain, can I talk to you for a minute? Fukuda, please sit here and wait for a while." Murasaki pulled Kusao Takeshi aside and told the captain what he was thinking. After Kusao Takeshi glanced at Fukuda, his brows relaxed a little. "Murasaki, I don't mind if you want to recruit him into the team, but you have to get the coach's permission. You have to handle this matter well."

"Understood, Captain." Mu Mu dragged Futian to Coach Anxi and explained the situation to the coach.

"Oh, no matter which team Fukuda-san plays for, as long as he likes basketball, I have no objection. Mumu, I also believe that you can handle this kind of problem well." Coach Anzai nodded.

"Thank you, coach." Fukuda got the permission from Coach Anzai and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. "This coach is really generous. He didn't oppose me just because I am a player from another school." Fukuda was a little worried. He was a student from another school. Would he not be accepted by others when he came to Xiangbei for training? After all, Murasakibara was neither a coach nor a captain. He didn't have that much say. Fukuda also saw the captain's expression just now, which made Fukuda a little worried. Later, when he saw the captain's expression change, Fukuda was slightly relieved.

From then on, Fukuda began to practice with the Xiangbei players. Fukuda's practice was indeed hard. When Xiangbei students finished training, he stayed to practice with Murasakibara. This also made the Xiangbei players look at him with admiration. "A student from another school is so hardworking, we can't let them fall behind." The enthusiasm of the Xiangbei players also became higher and higher.

In the third round, Xiangbei still defeated its opponent by a large margin and advanced to the next round. Futian also quietly came to the gymnasium to watch the game. Seeing all the Xiangbei players on the field and the training in Xiangbei in the past few days, Futian had an idea in his mind.

"The atmosphere in the Xiangbei team is very harmonious. They have never alienated me just because I am a player from another school. And Senior Mugure also taught me wholeheartedly. Coach Anzai's teaching method is also different. He does not criticize the players. Even if the players cannot complete the training content, he will mainly encourage them. Unlike our coach Tanaoka, he is very harsh on the players. He will not show mercy if there is any mistake (Tanaoka: Hey, hey, hey, I'm doing this for your own good). The atmosphere in the team is very peaceful, and everyone has playing time. It's great to be in such a team." Fukuda is full of envy.

During the training on this day, Coach Anxi said, "Let's have a four-on-four half-court training match today. Fukuda-san, you will also participate."

"Me? Am I going to participate too?" Futian was a little surprised. He was just a student from another school.

"Haha, Fukuda-san, don't you want to test the results of your training? Besides, your appearance will also allow our Xiangbei players to test their own level. Everyone can see their own level, so why not?" Coach Anxi said with a smile

"Yes, thank you, coach." Fukuda felt his eyes warm up and bowed hard to prevent Coach Anzai from seeing his excitement. Fukuda was in a group with Mu Mu, Kusao Takeshi, and Mori Qi, and Mitsui, Saito, Horita, and Nakajima were in a group. Akagi, Katsumi, Yugoro, and Hasegawa were in a group.

Fukuda showed a desperate posture when he took the court. When Kusao Takeshi and Horida were entangled with each other in the interior, Fukuda grabbed several rebounds with his height second only to the two and excellent jumping ability. Then he tried his best to protect the ball and passed it to Murasaki or Namori, indirectly contributing firepower to his own team's scoring. On the defensive end, although there was no improvement either, Fukuda seemed to run tirelessly. This enthusiasm and perseverance also inspired Murasaki and others as teammates, and even moved Mitsui and other four opponents.

In this shot, Murasaki suddenly passed the ball to the basket, and it was Fukuda who got the ball. "Come on, Fukuda," Fukuda attacked, but was blocked by Horita at the first try. However, Fukuda grabbed the offensive rebound. At this time, he remembered the fake move Murasaki taught him, and with a fake move, he tricked Horita into getting up again, and the ball hit the backboard and went into the basket!

"Good job, Fukuda!" Mu Mu and the other two came over and high-fived Fukuda. Fukuda was also so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Suddenly he ran to Coach Anxi. "Coach Anxi, I apply to join the Xiangbei basketball team. Please approve it!"
