Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 124 Acupuncture

"Mitsui, Murasakibara, congratulations on making the best lineup." Hearing the names of Mitsui and Murasakibara, the Xiangbei players came over to congratulate their teammates.

"Thank you, thank you," Mitsui and Mugure responded repeatedly

"Oh... I wish I could participate in all the games in the county tournament," Akagi sighed. Akagi believed that with his current strength, it would be no problem to defeat Yuzhu and Shoyo's Yanwan or Hanagata. If he was on the court, Xiangbei would not have such a hard time against Kainan. Even though he might not be a match for Hoshino, he could contain Hoshino to a great extent and create better opportunities for his teammates. Many of Xiangbei's missed shots in the paint were caused by Hoshino's interference.

"Akagi, we still have one year's chance. You will definitely be in the best team next year." Mitsui was in a very good mood after being included in the best team and did not refute Akagi.

"Brother, congratulations on making it to the national competition." Akagi Haruko rushed over to congratulate her brother

"Yeah, but I didn't help much." Unlike the original Akagi who cried with excitement when he won the right to participate in the national competition, the current Akagi is more indifferent. After all, the current Xiangbei lineup is very strong, and entering the national competition is actually well deserved. And another point is that the original Akagi entered the national competition in his last year, so of course he would be very excited.

"Brother, please do well in the national competition."

"Yes, Akagi, use the energy you didn't use in the county tournament in the national tournament, and let them see the strength of the mainstay of Xiangbei's inside line. Catch them off guard, after all, me and Mitsui..."

"Amaru, Murasaki. I will never lose to you next year." The owner of this sentence is not Miyagi from Ryonan. After all, although Miyagi is arrogant, he knows that he is only a freshman and there is still a certain gap between him and the famous point guards in the county. The owner of this sentence is Fujima from the Shoyo team. In fact, Fujima's performance is not much worse than Maki Shinichi and Murasaki, but due to the team's record, Fujima still missed the best lineup.

"These high school students are really amazing. There may be a Kanagawa whirlwind in this year's national competition. Kanagawa will be even stronger next year," concluded Yayoi Aida, who had been watching the county competition throughout.

"Sakuragi, Yohei, you guys made it to the semifinals?" After leaving the court, the Xiangbei players noticed Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei appearing in the gym. Today was also the prefectural junior high school quarterfinals. Sakuragi and Yohei were unable to come over to cheer for Xiangbei because of the game.

"With this genius here, who can do anything to our Wako Middle School, hahahaha" Sakuragi laughed proudly

"We didn't encounter much resistance from the opponent and won by 18 points. Hanamichi and I left the court with 6 minutes left." Mito Yohei calmly explained the situation of the game to the Shohoku players.

"Has the schedule for the semi-finals come out?" This year's junior high school semi-finals are different from previous years. They are becoming the same as those in high school, and the semi-finals have also become a round-robin tournament.

"Not yet, the results will be out tomorrow"

"Who are the opponents?" Mu Mu continued to ask

"We are in the second game. The winner of the first game is Fuqiu Junior High School. We don't know who the next two teams will be. We came here after the game," Mito Yohei replied.

"Togaoka Junior High School is quite strong." Mu Mu quickly remembered Rukawa Kaede.

"Hahaha, no matter who advances to the semi-finals, no matter the order, these three teams will be defeated one by one by this genius" Sakuragi said shamelessly

"Asshole, don't underestimate any opponent." Akagi couldn't stand it anymore and gave Sakuragi a slap on the head, "Damn gorilla, your hand is injured, how come you are still so strong?" Sakuragi covered his head and muttered softly.

"Akagi, are you okay?" Mu Mu heard what Sakuragi said. He noticed that Akagi hit Sakuragi with his injured hand. And Akagi's hand was shaking. He asked hurriedly.

"It's a bit uncomfortable," Akagi shook his hands and said unnaturally.

"Oh, look at my memory. I suddenly remembered that there is a Chinese medicine clinic near my home. The doctor there has good acupuncture skills. I sprained my ankle before, and it healed quickly after acupuncture from him," said Mizuta Norika.

"Yes, Akagi, you can have acupuncture. Acupuncture is very effective for sprains, and you can recover faster." Mu Mu slapped his head, wondering how he could have forgotten the quintessence of Chinese culture in his previous life.

"What is acupuncture?" Others were confused. After all, it is traditional Chinese medicine and very few people understand it.

"Acupuncture, acupuncture. Will it hurt?" Although Akagi looks big and strong, I didn't expect him to be afraid of needles.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt," Mizuta Norika said, "Akagi-san, you'll know if you try it, it's very effective."

"Okay, I'll try." Akagi nodded.

The next day, Mu Mu and Mizuta Norika brought Akagi to the Chinese medicine clinic that Mizuta mentioned - Liu's Chinese Medicine

"Doctor Liu, do you remember me?" Shuitian greeted the doctor.

"You are... Mizuta Norika, what's wrong? Is your foot injured again? I told you before that you must rest well..."

"It's not me, it's him." Mizuta Norika pointed at Akagi Takenori and said, "This is my classmate. He sprained his arm while playing basketball. The treatment I received here was very effective, so I recommended him here."

"Oh. It's you. Let me check it out." Doctor Liu checked Akagi's arm, asked a few questions about the injury, and then gave Akagi acupuncture.

"Does it hurt, Akagi?" Mumu asked

"It doesn't hurt, it's numb and itchy, it's quite comfortable," Akagi felt it. "Thank you, doctor," Akagi thanked the doctor again.

"Look at your figure, you are really tall. Are you a basketball player?" The doctor looked at Akagi.

"Yes, we are players of the Xiangbei basketball team"

"Basketball is good. I used to play basketball a lot, but after I started working, I rarely play anymore."

While giving Akagi acupuncture, Mu Mu started chatting with the Chinese doctor. It turned out that the doctor's name was Liu Rencheng, who was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine and was from Northeast China. He studied in Japan and fell in love with a girl from the same school. After graduation, he stayed in Japan, so he could speak fluent Japanese. Mu Mu's previous life was also from Northeast China, and the two chatted very well.

"I didn't expect that Mu Mu-san knows so much about China." At this time, a woman came out from the inner room holding a baby.

"Wow, so cute," Mizuta Norika touched the baby's face, "Is it a boy or a girl? What's her name?"

"It's a boy, and he hasn't been named yet."

"Brother Liu, if you don't mind, I can give you a name. It's just a suggestion," Mu Mu said

"Sure, if Murasakibara-san has a good name, I can use your name."

"I saw a sign on your clinic that says 'Build a good life with virtue and benefit others.' The second character of the child's name can be 'virtue', and the third character should let the child remember his identity. China is also known as Zhonghua or Huaxia, and Chinese people are called Chinese. Let's name the child Andy Lau," Mu Mu said, trying hard to hold back his smile.

"Andy Lau?! This name sounds good. Let's call him this." Doctor Liu nodded and approved of the name.
