Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 115: Battle against Xiangyang: 3-point rain

"Tateyama, you are worthy of being a coach who often enters the national competition. You came up with a countermeasure so quickly." Coach Takato praised his old rival

"Shohoku still lacks height in the interior. If Akagi is here, he will force Hanagata to pass the ball in the backcourt. With him guarding Shohoku's interior, it will still be difficult for Shoyo to score." Shigekazu Tanaoka also saw the trick.

"Coach, it seems that Xiangbei's chances of winning are relatively low. Shoyo's tall players have too obvious an advantage. And their backcourt strength is actually not weak. Although they can't restrict Xiangbei's backcourt, their scoring ability means that Xiangbei's backcourt cannot relax their guard on them."

"Sendoh, your idea is correct in theory, but in reality, it's hard to say. Don't underestimate the command of Coach Anzai. Except for Horita, all the players on the field of Xiangbei are flexible players, and their shooting ability is excellent. Especially the three-pointer from the outside. Uh... three-pointer from the outside?!" Tiangang Shigeichi suddenly realized something. Could it be——?

Xiangbei was attacking, the ball was in Mugure's hand, and he was facing Fujima. Mitsui on the other side suddenly gave Horita a wink, and Horita nodded, pretending to understand. Mitsui suddenly ran, Sakata was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed, but just after he started, he ran into Horita who came out to cover Mitsui. Mitsui had already run into an open space, and Mugure passed the ball immediately. Mitsui received the ball without adjusting, and shot calmly, the ball flew out a beautiful arc, and swish! It went into the net.

Fujima dribbled past the three-point line and broke through. Murasakibara blocked him in front. Fujima turned around and pulled the ball, sticking to Murasakibara and went inside.

"Fujima, don't even think about getting past me!" Mumu held Fujima tightly, not giving him any room to move.

But Fujima didn't rush in, but passed the ball to the basket with the help of Mu Mu. Yan Wan got the ball under the basket and scored two points with an easy rebound.

Just now, Mitsui made a three-pointer. After Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court, he passed the ball to Mitsui without hesitation. Facing Mitsui, Sakata did not dare to be careless. While paying attention to Mitsui's movements, he used his peripheral vision to see if the inside players of Xiangbei would come over to screen for Mitsui. Horita tried to go over for a screen. But Mitsui shook his head to signal that it was not necessary. At this moment, Mitsui's feet suddenly accelerated, and then he changed direction and cut in, and Sakata slid to follow. But Mitsui suddenly passed the ball back, took a step back, and then shot a three-pointer. Sakata hurriedly flew to block, but it was too late, and he could only watch the basketball fly over his fingertips.

"Will it go in?" Sakata turned around and looked at the basketball after landing. Yanwan and Hanagata also held Horita and Hasegawa tightly.

"Swish!" The ball went into the net again. Yan Wan and Hanagata's efforts were in vain.

"Well done, Mitsui-senpai." Mitsui's graceful shooting posture was deeply imprinted in Ayako's mind.

"Damn it, how come his three-point shot is so accurate, and his shooting action is so fast" Sakata wiped the sweat off his face.

"Captain, you need to put more pressure on him. As long as his physical strength decreases, Mitsui's three-pointers will not be so accurate all the time." Fujima came over. Sakata nodded.

Shoyo's offense was still inside. This was also the safest way. This time it was Takano who ended the offense. There was no other way, as the height difference between Katsumi and Takano was too big.

"Keep an eye on Mitsui" It was Xiangbei's turn to attack. Shoyo's attention was focused on Mitsui. Sakata stuck to Mitsui and didn't give Mitsui a chance to catch the ball. Hanagata followed Horita. As long as Horita screened, Hanagata would immediately block Mitsui's shot. This deployment was very correct. Hanagata's movements were relatively flexible among the inside players, and he was tall and had long arms, so he could effectively block Mitsui's three-pointers.

"Do you think we have no chance if we keep an eye on Mitsui? There's still me." Murasakibara suddenly shot from the outside.

"Oops!" Fujima also focused part of his attention on Mitsui. He was on guard against Murasakibara's pass and neglected to guard against Murasakibara's shot.

"Swish!" The ball went into the net again.

"Xiangbei, are you planning to use three-pointers to offset the defensive disadvantage?" He looked at the Xiangbei players off the court and muttered to himself.

The consecutive three-pointers boosted Xiangbei's momentum. Mu Mu stuck to Fujima and did not give him the opportunity to break through and shoot.

"Hi!" Hanagata took the initiative to ask for the ball. Fujima nodded and passed the ball to Hanagata with a shake.

Hanagata's glasses flashed as he took the ball, and he suddenly turned around to shoot, but Horida had already jumped up to block the shot. What a fake move! Hanagata bypassed Horida and dunked the ball into the net with one hand.

"Good job, Hanagata!" Hanagata's dunk was quite encouraging and slightly offset the impact of Xiangbei's consecutive three-pointers on the Xiangyang players.

"Hanagata..." Mumu watched Hanagata's figure returning to defense. It seems that because of his time travel, everything has changed. In the original work, Hanagata, who was not famous in the second grade, has also grown up. But this is interesting.

Facing Fujima, Murasaki crossed his left hand under his crotch, and after receiving the ball with his right hand, he immediately accelerated towards the basket. But at the moment when Fujima started to move, Murasaki suddenly stopped his momentum, pulled the ball with his left hand and turned 360 degrees, bypassing Fujima by half a body length. This time Murasaki completely passed Fujima. Murasaki rushed to the basket

"How can we let you run wild under the basket of Shoyo?" Yan Wan, Hanagata and Takano tightened the defense line, determined to block Muguro's attack. "Are you all focusing on me?" A smile appeared on Muguro's face. "Opportunity" Muguro suddenly passed the ball to the left.

"Huh?" Shoyo's inside player noticed that the ball in Murasaki's hand had disappeared, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the ball. It was Katsumi who got the ball! Katsumi on the outside was unguarded!

"Kemei, there's no one guarding you, shoot the ball"

"Oops!" Fujima rushed to make up for the defense, but such a great opportunity, Katsumi would not waste it easily.

Don’t let it go in! The Xiangyang players and cheerleaders were all praying, but unfortunately this time, fate was not on their side, and Kemei’s three-pointer went straight into the net!

"Don't be discouraged, we scored a goal," Fujima encouraged loudly.

"Everyone, defend this ball," Mumu also encouraged

"Okay!" Xiangbei's momentum surged

"No, we must attack Xiangbei's momentum from the outside," Sakata thought. He signaled to the inside with his eyes. Yanwan understood. Sakata suddenly started, using Yanwan's cover to avoid Mitsui's defense, Fujima's pass was delivered immediately, and Sakata shot from the outside!

"Uh?" A big hand appeared in front of Sakata.

Bang! The ball was blocked!

"Good job, Isshi." Mitsui got the ball, Hasegawa noticed Yanwan went out for a pick-and-roll, and he immediately followed him out firmly. Using his height advantage, he successfully blocked Sakata's three-pointer, making Sakata's plan fail.

"Fast Break" Mitsui advances quickly with the ball

"Go back to defense!" Shoyo's players hurried back to defense. Fujima was the fastest, running neck and neck with Mitsui. He reached out and even touched the basketball in Mitsui's hand. But Mitsui reacted quickly and got the ball back. Although Fujima did not succeed in stealing the ball this time, his move had blocked Mitsui's quick counterattack, allowing his players to go back to defense.

"Let me see your strength" In this game, Mitsui and Fujima faced off for the first time in a real sense

"Come on, Mitsui."

Mitsui made a probing step, followed by a breakthrough, but Fujima did not lose his position. Mitsui dribbled the ball and turned right. Fujima immediately followed with a sliding step. But when Mitsui turned halfway, he pushed the ball back to the left with his right hand. A beautiful mysterious turn broke through Fujima's defense. He broke into the inside line directly, and Hanagata, who was returning to the inside line, immediately moved up to block Mitsui's breakthrough.

"Mitsui!" a voice came. It was Hasegawa. Hasegawa came to the left corner, unguarded! Mitsui passed the ball to Hasegawa without hesitation, and Hasegawa took a three-point shot! Another hit!

"Shoyo requests a timeout"
