Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 266: Hainan vs. Aiwa. Opening: Center Forward Showdown

"We've made it to the quarterfinals." Although they only made it to the quarterfinals, the Xiangbei players were still very excited. Players on and off the court entered the court to celebrate.

The players of the defeated Touou High School shed sad tears on the court, but the audience still stood up and applauded for the wonderful game presented by both sides, not only for the winner, Shohoku, but also for the Touou players who also fought hard until the last moment.

"Well done! Xiangbei!"

"Well done, Toyotama, you fought very well!"

“The game was so exciting!”

Shohoku captain Akagi walked up to Toyotama captain Nan Lie, who was holding his head high and closing his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder.

Nan Lie opened his tearful eyes, and after seeing that it was Akagi, he choked up and said, "Congratulations, Akagi, you are stronger, and you deserve to win."

"We will definitely win the final championship." Akagi meant that if Touou was eliminated by the championship team and could fight with Shohoku to the end, then they would also win the respect of more people.

Nan Lie understood what Akagi meant, and after saying "Come on", he turned around and performed his duties as captain to comfort his frustrated teammates.

With Nan Lie's comfort, the Touou players, who were crying silently, stood in line with tears in their eyes and saluted the Shohoku players.

“Thanks for your advice!”

“Thanks for your advice!”

"Anxi, you have brought out an excellent team. With Xiangbei's strength, it is not impossible to defeat Sanno. Good luck in the next game." Kitano found Anxi

"Kitano, your team is great. It caused us a lot of trouble. I really hope we can play against you again." The two old men shook hands with each other. Click, Yayoi Aida, who was watching the game at the scene, took the opportunity to take a photo of the two basketball legends.

"Ms. Aida, don't just take a picture of our coach, take a picture of us too. I've already thought of the title: 'When we meet, we can forget all grudges with a smile.'" Mugure noticed Yayoi Aida who was taking the picture.

"Your suggestion is good. You had a fierce conflict last year, and this year you reconciled. It is indeed a good topic." Aida Yayoi nodded and took a group photo of the two teams.

"Lvfeng lost, Ryonan and we won, I don't know how Hainan's game is going now" Because they were playing at the same time as Hainan, Xiangbei couldn't go to watch Hainan's game against Aiwa

"Aiwa Academy's lineup is not bad either. They have the freshman center Mori Shigehiro and Moroboshi Yamato. Although Kainan is not weak, they will have a tough battle," said Akagi.

The camera turns to the match between Hainan and Aihe, with 1 minute and 12 seconds left. The score is 76:81, with the last year's runner-up Hainan team lagging behind!

"They are worthy of being a top team in the national competition. Even though they were missing two main players and fell behind by 18 points at one point, they stubbornly narrowed the gap under the leadership of Shinichi Maki. The Hainan team is really worthy of admiration, but we are sure to win this game." Taro Ishii, who was sitting in the Aiwa coaching booth, expressed his admiration for Hainan while being full of confidence that his team would win.

"Don't give up, we still have a chance," Hainan's head coach Gao Touli shouted from the sidelines.

"Let's score another goal!" Amu dribbled the ball and shouted to his teammates

"I'll be in charge of guarding Amu. Shuihe, you have to pay attention to A Shen's three-point shot. Akuan, your task is to guard the basket. If Amu breaks into the inside, Tetsuki, you and Matsui will shrink the defense. It's better to foul than to let Amu score easily. Everyone must not let down their guard. Do you understand?" Aiwa's captain Moroboshi Dai made arrangements.

"We understand, Captain," Aiwa's players echoed in unison

Before Hainan launches this attack, let me briefly introduce the match between Hainan and Aiwa Academy.

海南身着紫色球衣，先发阵容中锋8号内藤铁也196cm大前锋:5号高砂一马191cm小前锋:9号武藤正185cm得分后卫:6号神宗一郎189cm控球后卫:4号牧绅一184cm

Aiwa is wearing a white jersey. The starting lineup includes center No. 15 Mori Shigehiro, 199cm, power forward No. 6 Tetsuki, 192cm, small forward: No. 5 Mizuwa Saburo, 186cm shooting guard No. 4 Moroboshi Dai, 186cm point guard No. 7 Suzuki Aomatsu, 180cm. The top four players of Aiwa Academy have been introduced in the previous article. Point guard Suzuki Aomatsu is a third-year player. Although he was suppressed by the previous captain Sawada and has never started, he has played in two national competitions with Aiwa after all, so he has quite a lot of experience. And he also graduated from the same junior high school as Moroboshi Dai. The degree of tacit understanding is not a problem. His strength is stronger than Uekusa, the main guard of Ryonan in the original work. He is also a very stable point guard.

The referee threw the ball high into the air at the opening jump ball. Mori Shigehiro jumped before Naito Tetsuya, proving that he had a higher ceiling. Naito was not to be outdone, and almost jumped up at the same time as him, stretching out his arm to fight for the ball. Equally matched? Everyone saw that just as Mori Shigehiro touched the ball, Naito's hand also pressed on the ball. The ball flew to the side under the pressure of the two centers, and was grabbed by Amu one step ahead.

"Well done, Naito." After watching the final of the Aiwa County Tournament, Amu informed the Hainan players of Mori Shigehiro's performance. The Hainan team also sent people to watch the group match of Aiwa College. In the first game, when Mori Shigehiro was competing for the ball with the opponent's center, he knocked the opponent's center to the ground, which directly led to the opponent's center leaving the court. This brute force made the Hainan players fearful. The fact that Naito was able to be on par with Mori Shigehiro gave the Hainan players great confidence. After Amu got the ball, he quickly broke into the inside of Aichi. After attracting the opponent's defense, he made a ground pass. Naito had already run to the basket, but Mori Shigehiro had not run back to the basket at this time. Only Tetsuji rushed to the basket. Naito suddenly exerted force to squeeze Tetsuji away and made a dunk. This cooperation can be said to be one of Hainan's best and most efficient scoring methods. 2:0, Hainan took the lead.

"A-Kuan, what are you doing? Why don't you rush back to the basket?" Ishii was a little dissatisfied with his beloved student's performance.

"I'm sorry, coach, I was careless," Mori Shigehiro apologized to the coach. "That bald guy in Hainan is quite interesting." After the national competition started, Mori Shigehiro didn't encounter any decent opponents, which made him underestimate the enemy. As a result, he didn't use his full strength when fighting for the ball, nor did he return to the basket in time.

"Okay, A-Kuan, this is not entirely your fault. We did not expect the strength of Hainan's center forward. Let Hainan know how powerful you are with the next goal." As the captain, Zhu Xing patted Mori Shigehiro on the shoulder.

"Leave it to me, Senior Moroboshi." Mori Shigehiro's expression suddenly became serious. Suzuki passed the ball across half court and handed it to Moroboshi. Opposite Moroboshi, Hainan's defensive stalwart Muto was ready for battle. Moroboshi advanced quickly, and Muto chased after him, finally intercepting him in front of the three-point line.

"Your defense is good, but that's all." Zhu Xing had already observed Mori Shigehiro's position while running and directly threw the ball to the inside.

"Come on!" Naito roared when he saw Mori Shigehiro catch the ball. He mobilized every muscle, fully concentrated his strength, started from his calves, and pushed forward with all his strength!

"You have good strength. I'm going to use all my strength." Mori Shigehiro suddenly exerted force with his back turned. Naito immediately felt a huge force coming and was knocked away by Mori Shigehiro. After Mori Shigehiro forcibly knocked Naito away, he made a layup and the score was tied at 2:2!

"It doesn't matter, we'll score a goal." Amu dribbled the ball across half court and looked at his opponent. "Suzuki, you were not my opponent in junior high school, and you are even less likely to be my opponent now." Amu broke through Suzuki's defense. At the same time as Amu broke through, Naito went out to cover for A Shen, and A Shen took the opportunity to get an open space.

"No, A-Shen is unguarded. A-Kuan, hurry up and fill in the position." Zhu Xing, who knew that A-Shen was very good at three-pointers, immediately reminded him, and Mori Shigehiro immediately ran out of the basket

"Humph, you've been fooled." Ah Mu sneered. Although his sight was towards Ah Shen on the outside, he threw the ball to Naito who had completed the pick-and-roll. The pass was very subtle and clever. The basketball flew in front of Naito's route. It can be said that Naito caught it quite comfortably. After getting the ball, he could jump and attack the basket in one step. Facing Naito who was rushing up, no one in Aiwa dared to touch this bad luck, and let Naito score, 4;2

Aiwa quickly served the ball from the baseline, and Zhuxing quickly advanced after receiving the ball. The players of Hainan also reacted quickly and returned to defense, preventing Aiwa Academy from launching a quick counterattack.

"As expected of Hainan, the speed is really fast." Seeing that there was no chance, Zhu Xing slowed down the pace, and after Mori Shigehiro was in position, he passed the ball directly to the inside line. Mori Shigehiro received the ball with his right hand, stretched out his left arm to block Naito, turned around and stepped sideways, and instantly stood parallel to Naito. Naito was controlled by Mori Shigehiro. When he turned around, Mori Shigehiro had already used his super explosive power to break through in one step and dunked directly! 4:4, the game had just started, and the centers of both teams scored all the points of their teams!
