Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 163 The Rest of 1991 (Part )

"Are you Senior Hoshino from Hainan?" Akagi looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the challenger who came.

"It's me. I didn't play against you in this year's county competition. It's a great pity. The autumn national sports are over. I quit the basketball team and concentrate on preparing for the exam. But before preparing for the exam, I still want to play with you. To make up for my regret, please promise me, please." After saying this, Hoshino bowed first.

"Okay, I promise you," Hoshino said. Regardless of whether Akagi would be embarrassed to refuse, he also wanted to have a decisive battle with Kanagawa's top center in his heart to see what his real strength was.

"This trip is really worthwhile, I can watch the duel between the new and old centers in Kanagawa," Aida Yayoi was secretly happy, "This trip also has an unexpected gain."

"The rules of the game are that you shoot at five points: the left and right baselines, the left and right 45° angles, and the free throw line. Whoever scores more goals attacks first, and after one side scores, they continue to attack. If one side is intercepted or blocked, the ball possession is changed and 10 points are the basis. A mid-range shot counts as 2 points, and a three-point shot counts as 3 points. But it's unlikely that both of us can score points, hehe," Hoshino explained the rules of the game.

"Okay," Akagi agreed happily.

As a result, when the two were fighting for the right to attack first, in the first round, both sides made all five shots, and in the second round they also made all five shots. In the third round, Hoshino missed one shot, and Akagi unfortunately missed two, so Hoshino got the right to attack first.

"These two are amazing. Although they are both centers, their mid-range shooting ability is so excellent. There is no other center in the county with such a hit rate." Aida Yayoi widened her beautiful eyes.

The two centers started a fierce offensive and defensive battle, neither of them gave in, and the fight was full of sparks.

"It's great!" The sweaty Hoshino laughed. "Next year, you will be the top center in Kanagawa, Akagi."

"I still have a gap with you, thank you for your guidance," Akagi responded modestly.

"Reporter Aida, I hope you won't write about the match between Hoshino and Akagi," said Mugure

"Okay, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't report their fight in the newspapers."

"How is it, Hoshino, how does it feel to fight with Akagi?" Gaotou Li asked. Before fighting with Akagi, Hoshino specifically asked Gaotou for leave.

"It was a close win, coach. With the current ability of our inside players, no one will be able to limit Akagi next year. I'm worried that after Fujita and I graduate, it will be difficult for Amu to compete with the Shohoku team next year alone." Hoshino spoke the truth

"Look at him," he pointed at a skinny boy who was practicing three-point shooting silently.

"A Shen, he is really working hard. Maybe he will be a sharpshooter who is not inferior to Mitsui next year, but his competition experience and skills are far inferior to Mitsui. Even if he can offset Mitsui, what about Akagi? Coach, to be frank, Takasago is no match for Akagi. Akagi has improved a lot after the baptism of the national competition, while Takasago still lacks too much experience. The inside line will be our Achilles' heel next year. Coach, the top priority is to find a tall inside player to train. We can't put all our hopes on the freshmen."

"Hoshino, you are right. I will hurry up to find inside players. I believe that with the reputation of Hainan, it is not difficult to recruit players from other schools." Gaotou Li began to look for inside players. However, it is easy to say, but it is also difficult. There are nearly 200 colleges and universities in Kanagawa, and there are only a few excellent centers in the county. It is very difficult for Gaotou to find high-quality inside players.

Not only Hainan, Ryonan is also looking for guns

"Next year, Kanagawa will have 3.5 quotas. Uozu, Sendoh and Miyagi will become more mature next year. Nango has agreed to join Ryonan. Our inside strength has been greatly enhanced, but our outside line lacks a shooter who specializes in three-point shooting. If there is a shooter like Mitsui on the outside, Ryonan's entry into the national competition is not a dream at all. We need to find a gun on the outside." Tanaka also made up his mind. Soon, Tanaka Shigeichi, who was good at collecting information about strong teams, thought of Tsukutake's shooter Wudai. After several visits, plus the sincerity of reducing tuition fees, and Wudai's own hope that his hard work would be rewarded, Tanaka Shigeichi successfully recruited Wudai, and Ryonan's weak outside attack firepower instantly improved a lot.

"Ito, you need to practice three-point shooting after training every day. Takano, after Hanagata changes to power forward, you will be the center of Shoyo. You need to practice more center skills such as post-up singles. Nagano, you also need to practice shooting more. When we pass the ball to you after you pick and roll on the outside, you need to make sure you can make a shot." Because Shoyo made it to the top eight in the country, Coach Tateyama did not leave the Shoyo team like in the comics, but continued to serve as the coach. As Shoyo's lineup changed, he was also practicing Shoyo's new lineup.

"Since our school has just been established, I don't ask you to perform well in this year's winter competition. However, the winter competition is a rare opportunity to improve the team. I ask you to use this hard-won opportunity to improve the team in advance. Next summer, we must not only get a place in the national competition, but also win the first place in Kanagawa," a short-haired woman said to the players.

"Yohei, your speed and dribbling ability are already good enough, better than many guards in high school. Now, you need to practice your mid-range and long-range shooting. Without shooting, it will be much easier for the opponent to defend you."

"Sakuragi, don't just rely on your physical fitness to play. You are still a little brother in high school. There are players with physical fitness that are not inferior to you. You need to practice your techniques more, especially your footwork under the basket, which is not skillful enough. You need to connect well, otherwise you will be easily defended by the opponent's inside players." Murasakibara is also actively training the future of Shohoku.

With the addition of Sakuragi and Yohei, the weakest links of Xiangbei: 1. No outstanding inside players to assist Akagi, 2. No qualified substitutes for Murasaki, 3. Too few outside rotation players. These major problems will no longer exist. The real complete Xiangbei is about to be born!

This year's winter competition, the Xiangbei team did not participate because they were banned. The final champion was still the Hainan team
