Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 168 County Tournament Elimination Round 1 (2)

"Everyone, don't be anxious, keep moving and pass the ball patiently," Tsukutake's coach Kawasaki shouted off the court. After being reminded by the coach, Tsukutake's players were much more patient this time. After several passes, player No. 5 fired a three-pointer from the outside, tying the score to 3:4

Xiangbei attacked, and this time the ball was given to Horita. Horita dribbled the ball and backed up the center Tsukutake, who was unable to hold him. One step later, Horita picked up the ball, turned left, and raised his hand to shoot. Tsukutake's power forward did not dare to neglect it, and immediately came over to help defend and jumped up to block the shot. When Horita saw the power forward coming, he took the ball and passed it from the power forward's armpit.

"Good shot!" "Boom!" With such an open space, how could Sakuragi miss such an easy chance to score after getting the ball? He jumped up and slam-dunked directly.

Tsukuhisa used the screen again, and Natsume Hirotomo got an open space and made a three-pointer!

In this attack, Mito Yohei did not choose to pass the ball. After making a fake pass, he cut directly into the penalty area. Horita and Sakuragi blocked their opponents, and the Tsukutake players could only watch Mito Yohei make a layup and score.

The players of Tsukuba didn't care and carried the ball across half court to launch a new round of attack.

Different from the inside-focused tactics of the Xiangbei team, the starting point of Tsukutake's offense is the outside line. Therefore, they only leave one person inside to defend or fight for rebounds, and the other four are pulled to the outside, ready to shoot three-pointers at any time.

"Pay attention to Tsukutake's outside shot," Mitsui reminded the players on the court, but the greatest sorrow in life is that you know someone is going to take a three-pointer, but you just can't defend against it.

It can be said that all of Tsukuba's team's techniques and tactics are centered around three-pointers, and their running is very flexible and fast, and their passing is very accurate.

After a series of pick-and-rolls, No. 5 finally found an opportunity near the top of the arc and chose to take a three-pointer again. His shot was still so decisive and quick, leaving the Xiangbei team helpless.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went into the net again! 9:6, Tsukubuki leads Xiangbei by three points

"What a good team. Even though they are missing Godai and Nango, they still have an excellent tactical system." Mu Mu admired the first sentence in his heart, and said to Coach Anzai in the second sentence, "Tsukutake's coach is really not simple."

"Haha, Kawasaki, you really have the potential to be an excellent coach, but you can't beat me." Coach Anzai glanced at the student in the coaching seat of Tsukutake. In this attack of Xiangbei, the pass was touched out of bounds by Tsukutake. Mito Yohei served the out-of-bounds ball. Next to him was the coaching seat of Xiangbei. "Mito-san" Coach Anzai stood up. "Attack and attack again" After saying this to Yohei, he returned to the coaching seat.

"Attack and attack again?" Mito Yohei muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up: So that's how it is. Against a team like Tsukuba that has good shooting ability, defense alone may not be enough. Only by relying on more fierce offense can we suppress the opponent.

To be safe, Mito Yohei did not choose to attack from the outside, but passed the ball to the inside, then quickly cut to receive the ball from Horida, made a fake shot, and then passed the ball again, and Horida scored a dunk.

Tsukutake attacked, and in order to prevent Tsukutake's outside attack, Shohoku, including Sakuragi, had four people defending on the perimeter. Seeing that there was only Horita in the interior, Natsume Hirochi changed his attack method and handed it to the team's center. After the center got the ball, he yelled and then used the back-to-back technique to launch a fierce attack on Horita. Although his back-to-back technique was not the same as Horita's, he had a strong aura. After shaking left and right, he actually pushed a few centimeters inside.

However, Horida, the inside player defending Tsukutake, was very confident. No matter how Tsukuba struggled, he stayed in position and gave him a solid block when he was shooting.

Of course, Tsukutake's center is not stupid. He knows that the outcome of a one-on-one match with Horida will not be good. When he turns to face the basket, he decisively passes the ball to the power forward who cuts to the other side. The power forward gets the ball and goes for a layup. Horida has no time to defend.

"Snap!" Sakuragi, who was returning to defense at high speed, pressed the ball directly onto the backboard with one hand!

"Red No. 10, foul on interference with the ball" the referee blew the whistle.

"How is this interference in the goal? Referee, give me an explanation." Sakuragi was a little dissatisfied and argued with the referee, "What did you say?" The referee turned around and looked at Sakuragi

"Sakuragi, don't argue with the referee," two senior students present, Horita and Katsumi, grabbed Sakuragi.

"Sakuragi, don't mind, you did a good job." Haruko's words from the sidelines helped Sakuragi regain his composure. "Hmph, Tsukutake, you guys are lucky. These two points are just a gift from me to you." Sakuragi didn't care anymore.

"This red-haired kid has a terrifying jumping ability." Amu and Fujima, who were watching the game, wiped their sweat at the same time. They were both experienced players and knew that in the high school league, there were almost no interference violations. Not only did they think so, the referee was also stunned for a moment, "This is the first time I call an interference violation in the high school league, red-haired kid, I wanted to give you a technical foul, but I'll let you go."

Shohoku was attacking. Mito Yohei was holding the ball near the top of the arc and was playing one-on-one against Natsume Hirotomo. After dribbling the ball several times on the spot, his body suddenly shook, and he changed direction with an extremely low center of gravity to accelerate, causing Natsume Hirotomo to stagger and almost lose his position. Mito Yohei successfully broke through Natsume Hirotomo's defense. Seeing this, Tsukutake's players came up to assist in defense and stop Yohei. "I want you to assist in defense." A smile overflowed from the corners of Mito Yohei's mouth. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he pretended to attack with the ball, but the ball was secretly passed to Katsumi who was left open on the outside while he was moving, and Mito Yohei ran to the basket under the gaze of everyone. The player who assisted Tsukutake was still staring at Mito Yohei, but what he saw was that the ball was not in Mito Yohei's hands. Looking again, he found that Katsumi, who he was originally defending, had already made a three-point shot. The referee held up three fingers, and then a basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell straight into the net.

The sound of the whistle meant that Xiangbei had 3 more points on the scoreboard.

Tsukutake continued to shoot from the outside, but this time the touch was not on Tsukutake's side, the three-pointer bounced out of the frame, and Sakuragi grabbed the rebound. After the ball passed half court, Yohei kept his footing, dribbling near the top of the arc while directing his teammates' movements, with a bit of general style.

Suddenly, Katsumi came over with a quick counter-run to ask for the ball. At the same time, Horida immediately blocked Katsumi's running route without the ball. Center forward Tsukutake, who followed Horida, was also very fast and blocked Katsumi. Katsumi didn't have much chance and the cooperation seemed to fail. However, Mito Yohei threw the ball directly into the air.

"Shooting? It doesn't look like it." Jin Jiuwu's players looked back and saw a red-haired boy wearing a No. 10 jersey leaping into the air.

"Boom!" Score in the air relay!

"The guard of Xiangbei is quite strong. Not only does he have good breakthrough ability, but he also has a broad passing vision." Both Shinichi Maki and Kenji Fujima, who are also point guards, have seen the outstanding qualities of Yohei Mito.

Tsukutake continued to play short passes on the outside. Suddenly, Natsume Hirotomo used the screen to shake off Yohei and cut into the inside like an arrow. He successfully received a ground pass from his teammate and formed a momentum to attack the basket.

However, this time, Sakuragi, who had just completed an alley-oop, was extremely excited. He went straight up and blocked Natsume Hirotomo's shot directly out of the three-point line. Yohei got the ball and made a long pass to "Kiyota", who then dunked.

Two dunks and a block made Tsukubuki's morale a little low, while Xiangbei's morale was high. Tsukubuki didn't get a good chance, so the No. 7 player forced a shot.

"Bang!" Kiyota Nobunaga blocked the ball and sent it out of bounds. Only 3 seconds were left for Tsukuba Takeshi to attack.

"Good job, Kiyota",

Seeing the excellent performance of the first-year students, the senior students of Xiangbei were not to be outdone. Horita stole the out-of-bounds ball from Tsukutake, and finally Katsumi made a three-pointer to complete the attack.

"Beep! Tsukubu High School requests a timeout!"
