Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 146: Fierce Battle at Aiwa Academy: Advance to the Next Round

"Aihe Academy requests a timeout" Seeing the score gradually widen, Aihe coach had no choice but to call a timeout

"We can't let Xiangbei's outside shots open up, otherwise we have no chance of turning the tables. Mishima, you should defend Akagi alone. I don't ask you to defend every ball, but you must consume Akagi to the greatest extent. I believe you can do it. Other players, defend your opponents and put pressure on Xiangbei's outside shooters." On the offensive end, Mishima and Eda mostly cover for Sawada and Moroboshi. Coach Aiwa is making tactical arrangements.

"Oh, everyone did a great job. Aiwa Academy will definitely change their defensive strategy. They will probably strengthen their perimeter defense. In this way, their interior will be empty. Akagi, Mitsui, and Murasakibara, your focus of attack will be on the interior. Hasegawa-san, I'll leave the defense of Moroboshi Dai to you. Try your best to consume him and free up Mitsui-san."

After the timeout, Aiwa Academy attacked. Mishima went outside to cover for Sawada. With the help of Mishima's broad body, Sawada easily got rid of Mugure's defense and continued to charge inside.

Mishima was not idle either. After completing the pick-and-roll, he immediately followed Sawada to the basket.

"Catch the ball, Mishima!!"

Sawada saw that Akagi in the inside had come to defend, watched Mishima's running position with his peripheral vision, and then prepared to pass the ball, and even reminded Mishima specifically!

Mishima also received the pass signal from Kiyota and opened his arms to receive the ball!

"It's not that easy to pass the ball!" Mumu rushed over to steal the ball, but the next second, Mumu's eyes widened. The ball did not reach Mishima's hands!

When everyone thought that Sawada would pass the ball, he took it back! He completed a realistic pass fake move, which was so realistic that it not only fooled the defenders of Xiangbei, but also seemed to fool Mishima. "You were fooled," Sawada said, and then he jumped on one foot and made an easy three-step layup, scoring 2 points.

"Well done, Captain."

"Hmph, it was a fake move, I must fight back." Murasakibara felt his fighting spirit growing stronger and stronger. Murasakibara dribbled the ball across the front court and signaled his teammates to move away. This time he wanted to play singles against Captain Aiwa.

"This second-year kid" Sawada bent down and greeted Murasaki's challenge with the most standard defensive posture. He did not dare to be careless at all. He had been facing him for most of the game. He knew that although the No. 9 guard of Xiangbei was only a second-year, he was quite strong. Murasaki dribbled the ball behind his back and rushed to Sawada's left. Sawada took a step to catch up. Murasaki's breakthrough was certainly not that simple. Murasaki turned around and pulled the ball to Sawada's right.

"It's not that easy to get rid of me." Sawada's reaction was not slow, and he shifted his center of gravity to the right. "What?" At this moment, Mu Mu changed direction again and rushed in from Sawada's left. Sawada wanted to follow, but his body was out of control, his feet slipped, and he sat on the ground.

The audience was shocked. "The captain of the top four team was knocked down?"

Mumu rushed to the basket and jumped up for a layup. "You can't score," Mishima shouted in the interior, leaping high and raising his arms, determined to block Mumu's shot. "I won't force it, it doesn't matter who scores," Mumu sneered, took the ball, and passed it around Mishima's body to Akagi on the other side of the basket.

"Good pass!" After getting the ball, Akagi held the ball with both hands, jumped on the spot, and pressed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

"This number 9 is definitely not an ordinary player. Maybe you won't meet him this year, but next year, he will be your important opponent, Shenjin, you have to pay attention." As the captain of the king, Chi Ben is still very concerned about the future of the team.

"I will pay close attention to it." The next captain of Sanwang kept his eyes on the players off the field.

"Captain, are you okay?" Moroboshi walked up to Captain Aiwa. "It's okay." Sawada had already climbed up. "The next ball is up to you, Moroboshi. I just noticed that Xiangbei switched defense. You can take advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with you and attack boldly."

Aiwa attacked, Sawada gave the ball to Morohoshi, who dribbled the ball and rushed towards Hasegawa. His right hand holding the ball pressed down under his crotch, and the basketball instantly passed under his crotch and went to Morohoshi's left hand, followed by Morohoshi's body, and suddenly rushed to Hasegawa's right side.

"Don't even think about getting through!" Hasegawa moved quickly, trying to block Moroboshi's breakthrough route.

"Good defense, but..." Zhu Xing dribbled the ball with his left hand and sent it to his crotch again. The basketball passed through Zhu Xing's crotch and passed to his right hand. Then, he pushed the ground with his left foot and instantly passed by Hasegawa's left side as his body moved to the right. He rushed past like a gust of wind! When he reached the inside, he made a direct slam dunk. Akagi was blocked by Mishima and could not block the shot. "Not enough," Zhu Xing passed by Hasegawa and added the second half of the sentence.

"Zhu Xing! Zhu Xing!" the audience of Aiwa shouted

"Give me the ball," Murasaki reminded Akagi to serve the ball quickly. Akagi understood and served the ball. Murasaki accelerated and crossed the half court.

"Oops!" Mu Mu's attack was extremely sudden. The Aiwa Academy players were still immersed in the joy of Moroboshi's goal. Relaxing at this time is absolutely fatal. Aiwa's captain Sawada reacted quickly and chased back to the three-point line.

"I must stop you" Sawada (inner) "What?"

Muguro stood at the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. Sawada retreated too far back and couldn't block the shot.

"Swish!!!" The ball went into the net. Murasakibara's cold-blooded three-pointer instantly offset Moroboshi's wonderful dunk just now.

The "bastard" Murasakibara's three-pointer angered the Aichi Star. This time, Murasakibara faced Hasegawa's defense and made a pull-up jump shot, which hit the target!

"Give me this ball," Mitsui walked in front of Muguru and whispered. "Are you going to use up Moroboshi?" Muguru asked. Mitsui nodded with a smile. Mitsui used continuous running to get the ball. Facing Moroboshi, Mitsui bent down, controlled the ball on the right side of his body with his right hand, and pretended to break through. He shook his shoulders and pretended to break through to the right, leading Moroboshi's body to tilt to the right. Then he paused and suddenly jumped up to shoot a three-pointer. Moroboshi tried hard to move his center of gravity back to his left. He wanted to jump up to block the shot, but found that a gust of wind passed by him. It turned out that Mitsui's shot was a fake move, but Moroboshi, who had lost his center of gravity, could only watch Mitsui pass by him. Mitsui rushed to the inside to face the help defense, and did not choose to break through to the basket, but passed the ball to the outside. Kemei had been waiting outside for a long time, and shot a three-pointer, and it hit again!

Aiwa Academy is attacking. Dai Moroboshi breaks through Hasegawa's defense with continuous changes of direction. Facing Akagi's defense, he scores a goal with an unconventional shot.

But then, Xiangbei used multiple passes, and finally Hasegawa made an open shot.

"Aiwa Academy lost. Xiangbei consumed the physical strength of Aiwa players and at the same time reduced their success rate in attack. This is an excellent team. It is not unfair for Aiwa Academy to lose to them." A voice came from behind the Sanno players.

"Coach?" The Sannoh players turned around and saw a young man with a mustache standing behind them. This man was none other than Goro Domoto, the helmsman of the undefeated king. The following game process was just as Coach Domoto had judged. Although Aiwa Academy kept chasing points, Xiangbei's scoring efficiency remained unchanged. They held Aiwa Academy tightly and did not give Aiwa Academy a chance to overtake. With 3 minutes left in the game, Dai Moroboshi's physical strength finally couldn't hold up and he left the court with cramps. With the departure of the ace player, Aiwa Academy lost its sharpest weapon. There was no chance of winning anymore.

"Horita, Kusao Takeshi, Iida, you play." Seeing that the situation was settled, Coach Anzai replaced the three main players, Akagi, Mitsui and Murasakibara. Although the departure of the three main players reduced Shohoku's scoring efficiency, Aiwa Academy's offensive efficiency was not high either.

As the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Itoda dribbled the ball high into the air, and Xiangbei defeated the last semi-finalist Aiwa Academy 91:82. In this game, Xiangbei's trident played well, Akagi scored 22 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, Mitsui scored 26 points, and Mugure scored 18 points and 10 assists. Moroboshi scored 34 points, but had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat and stopped in the top 32.
