Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 181: Xiangbei vs. Green Wind: Tit for tat

"You are all excellent players that I have worked hard to recruit from various teams. Do you really want to win?" Without waiting for Coach Ofuna to speak, Fujisawa Eri questioned the Green Wind players very dissatisfiedly.

"Yes!" the Green Wind team members answered in unison.

"So that's how you fight?" Fujisawa Eri continued to question.

The Green Wind team members, including Mike, were all silent.

"Okay, the reason why we are behind by a large margin is that you all want to show off too much and want to save the team with your own abilities. I understand your thoughts, but remember, basketball is a sport for five people. One person cannot make a team. Do you understand this? Mike, and Rukawa," Coach Ofune took over the conversation.

"Remember, coach, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Mike and Rukawa also realized that they were a little too excited and affected the team.

"Okay. Our next tactic is..." Coach Ofune began to make the next arrangements on the tactical board.

Here in Xiangbei

"Oh, everyone played very well, keep it up. Green Wind's tactics in the previous game were a bit chaotic, and they relied on individual ability to attack. After this timeout, they should focus on cooperation. So, don't slack off," Coach Anxi reminded everyone.

"Yes, coach," the Xiangbei players answered in unison

After the timeout, players from both teams came on the court. The Xiangbei players found that Ebina was replaced by Taichi Hiratani. Minggao served the ball from the baseline and scored. The one responsible for dribbling the ball was Mike Okita!

"Oh? Mike will be in charge of organizing the attack." Green Wind's change of formation surprised the Xiangbei players, but soon, Mu Mu was the first to react and went to lead the defense of Mike.

"Ebina has consumed a lot of physical energy under the repeated attacks of Murasakibara and Yohei. When you played in the United States, you also played as a point guard. It's up to you, Mike." Fujisawa Eri was watching Mike from the sidelines.

"Another golden backcourt player of Xiangbei, Mugure Konobu." Mike dribbled the ball and stared at the opponent in front of him, not daring to be careless. He had already experienced Mitsui's strength, not to mention that Mugure had just stolen the ball from him. Although he was careless, the unexpected steal also proved that Mugure's defensive skills should not be underestimated. Mike kept changing the rhythm of controlling the ball, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and slowly scanned the entire Xiangbei half with his eyes, observing the changes of his team. As for the two guys in the interior, Ming Gao has the height advantage, but the red-haired boy is also strong. Totsuka is also closely watched by the No. 13. Pinggu? Forget it, his opponent is Mitsui. It takes a lot of effort to deal with Mitsui by myself, don't count on it. Then it can only be myself or Rukawa Kaede to play this ball. It seems that I have to give it to Rukawa Kaede. Although this kid is indifferent, he still has strength. Thinking of this, Mike passed the ball to Rukawa who was running. It must be said that Mike is worthy of playing in the United States. His pass was very good and Rukawa received the ball very comfortably.

"Don't even think about breaking through!" Qingtian followed.

But Rukawa suddenly turned around, and Kiyota felt a figure flashing in front of him, and was rushed by Rukawa. "So fast!" Kiyota was shocked. The score behind and the successful defense by Kiyota before made Rukawa's fighting spirit suddenly soar. His teammates passed the ball to him, which was a trust in him (overthinking). This made Rukawa determined to become the savior of Green Wind. This belief stimulated his already good strength. This time Rukawa successfully broke through Kiyota and went straight to the basket. It was to record a dunk.

"You stinky fox, forget it!" Sakuragi added.

Rukawa was already facing Sakuragi and threw himself high into the air. Sakuragi jumped up without showing any weakness, with his hands raised high, as if an insurmountable barrier separated Rukawa and the basket.

Looking at Sakuragi in front of him, a cold light flashed in Rukawa's eyes. He jumped surprisingly high, but he didn't pull the "bow" too full. Rukawa curled up slightly, using the air suspension to avoid Sakuragi's block. With his body open, he passed Sakuragi with his right hand and pushed the ball towards the basket.

"Boom!" Rukawa Kaede successfully completed a dunk in front of two first-year students from Shohoku!

"White No. 10, blocking foul!" Rukawa Kaede scored 2+1!

"Good job, Rukawa Kaede," Mike came over.

"You passed the ball well." Rukawa nodded and high-fived Mike, and Rukawa made the free throw.

"Sakuragi, Kiyota, don't worry. We will come back." Murasaki clapped his hands, took the ball from the baseline, and dribbled to the frontcourt.

"Come on. Murasakibara." Mike Okita was ready for battle. Murasakibara stepped back slightly and dribbled the ball between his legs twice in a row. "He's going to break through." Mike focused his attention and stared at the ball in Murasakibara's hand. Murasakibara suddenly dribbled the ball with his right hand. He took a step with his left foot, and Mike immediately slid to follow. At this moment, Murasakibara drew a circle with his right hand upward and jumped around the ball. Mike hurriedly adjusted his body. But when Murasakibara's left foot landed, he held the ball, exerted force on his toes, turned his hips, and turned to the right. He passed Mike cleanly. He went straight to the basket and scored a layup, and also caused Ming Gao, who was defending, to foul. He also responded to Green Wind with a 2+1

"Mike was defeated just like that?" The Green Wind team members and Fujisawa Eri were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

"How did he get there?" Mike also looked confused.

"Kuromuro is getting stronger and stronger." Fujima, who was watching the game, had a more serious expression. He felt that it would be difficult for him to restrict Kouromuro.

"Good job, Murasakibara!" Mitsui came over and high-fived Murasakibara

In this attack by Green Wind, Mike used the pick-and-roll to get through Mu Mu's defense, and passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede before Kiyota helped defend. Rukawa Kaede made a direct jump shot, but Mitsui was a beat late in the defense, and Rukawa Kaede scored a mid-range shot.

"Mitsui, shouldn't you also show your MVP strength to Rukawa Kaede?" Since Mitsui came on the court in the second half, he has not had a one-on-one match with Rukawa Kaede.

"That's exactly what I meant." Mitsui looked at Rukawa's back, his eyes full of fighting spirit. After receiving the pass from Mumu, Mitsui looked at the basket and raised the ball directly, "Want a three-point shot?" Rukawa immediately jumped up and raised his arms high to try to block the shot, but unfortunately Mitsui did not shoot directly. In Rukawa's pupils, Mitsui's figure suddenly took a step back and stood one step outside the three-point line. With a flick of his hand, the basketball went into the net. Mitsui's entire step back was smooth and stretched, and the entire rhythm was controlled very well.

"You can make a shot from such a long distance?!" Rukawa's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Kiyota, let me defend Rukawa Kaede first. I will dampen his spirit. You can also learn from him." Mitsui reminded Kiyota, and Kiyota nodded.

However, Green Wind did not pass the ball to Rukawa. Totsuka used Minggao's screen to dodge Fukuda's defense, received the pass from Mike, and made a layup.

Mitsui held the ball and suddenly launched his own attack. Rukawa immediately adjusted his steps and blocked the direction of Mitsui's attack. However, his defense was ineffective. With a large pull of the ball, Mitsui broke through Rukawa's defense, passed by him, and scored a layup directly.

"So fast!" Rukawa Kaede (inner thoughts)

After being hit by Mitsui, Rukawa was determined to fight back. Mike couldn't find any other suitable person to pass the ball to this time, so he gave the ball to Rukawa. After making a few fake moves, Rukawa suddenly accelerated to break through. He thought he could succeed, but unexpectedly, Mitsui seemed to have predicted the direction of his breakthrough. He immediately followed closely and made Rukawa very uncomfortable. He never expected that Mitsui's defense was so experienced! Mitsui's successful defense made it impossible for Rukawa to break through to the basket and shoot. In desperation, he could only hastily choose to make a quick stop and fade away jump shot. But the effect of a hasty shot was naturally not very good. The ball hit the basket and bounced out. Sakuragi took the rebound. Murasakibara took the ball and led the Xiangbei players to start a fast break.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Mike, who rushed back desperately, and Totsuka, who ran very fast, surrounded Murasakibara.

"I knew you would do this!"

Murasakibara was prepared and immediately passed the ball from behind, allowing Kiyota to follow up quickly and easily score a layup!
