Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 159: Xiangbei VS Hakata Commercial (4)

"Yasukawa, you will defend No. 10, Xiaoshan, you will be responsible for defending Mitsui, Otake, you will replace Hyono, and defend Akagi with Kimura, Otake, you also need to pay attention to the movements of No. 16, Hirai, you will go off first, Gennosuke, you will replace Hirai and use your three-point firepower to tear through the defense of Xiangbei." During the timeout, Coach Kanai made a major adjustment to the lineup.

After the timeout, Kimura and Koyama set a pick-and-roll, Koyama passed the ball in time, Kimura made a high jump shot, but missed. Akagi was about to grab the rebound, but a figure behind him jumped up and tapped the ball into the hoop

"Akagi, although No. 7 (Otake) is thin, he is taller and has a longer wingspan than you. Don't be careless," Mitsui reminded Akagi.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Akagi nodded.

Xiangbei attacks, Futian uses Akagi's screen to find an open position and shoots

"Pah!" The ball in Fukuda's hand was fanned out of bounds, and it was Otake, the No. 7 player who had just come on the court, who blocked the shot! Xiangbei attacked again, but this time Mitsui's three-pointer also missed. Hakata Shang grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Xiaoshan accelerated and changed direction in a series of ways, passing Mitsui and quickly rushed to the penalty area.

But Mitsui's reaction was not slow. He immediately turned around and ran after him. The two of them came to the basket one after another. Xiaoshan made a layup. "It's not that easy." Mitsui jumped up and blocked Xiaoshan's layup angle. If the ball was shot, it would most likely be blocked by Mitsui, but Xiaoshan took the ball and sent it back. A figure received the ball and jumped up to dunk.

"Bang!" Dazhu followed up and put the ball into the basket

"This big guy, although he is tall, is quite fast," said Akagi

"Looking at his physique, he's taller than you, but not as strong as the previous center. You can't beat him alone," said Mitsui.

"That's exactly what I meant." Shohoku was on offense, Akagi got the ball, he first tested Otake's strength with his back, then suddenly turned left and cut in, at the same time exerting force with his left shoulder. Otake couldn't withstand Akagi's strength at all and was pushed aside, and Akagi succeeded in attacking the basket.

Hakata attacked, and the newly-appeared Otake did not compete with Akagi for position under the basket, but stood at a 45° angle on the right side. Akagi ignored him. Seeing that Akagi did not follow him, Xiaoshan passed the ball to Otake without hesitation, and Otake shot and made it!

"This guy can also make a mid-range shot?" Akagi was also stunned when he saw the ball go into the net.

"It's okay, we'll score a goal back"

When Xiangbei was attacking, Otake knew that he was no match for Akagi in terms of strength, so he went around in front of Akagi, raised his hands high, and pressed his back against Akagi, as if he was not going to give Mitsui a chance to pass the ball.

"This guy is taller and has a longer wingspan than Akagi, and that Kimura is always keeping an eye on Akagi's movements. It seems that passing the ball high won't work." Mitsui thought about "Katsumi". Mitsui pretended to pass the ball to Katsumi, but when he took the ball back, he found that Xiaoshan was still in front of him.

"How many times do you want to use this trick?" Xiaoshan said coldly.

"Use it as many times as you want, Katsume." Mitsui really chose to pass the ball this time. This pass confused everyone. People in Hakata Merchant thought that Mitsui's trick had been discovered and he would not pass the ball to Katsume again. Unexpectedly, Mitsui did the opposite and passed the ball to Katsume. Minamoto nosuke, who was defending Katsume, was stunned for a moment and hurried to block Katsume's shot. Katsume behaved very calmly and did not rush to shoot. After a fake move to alert Minamoto nosuke, he cut into the penalty area and made a mid-range shot, which hit the target steadily.

Hakata was attacking, and Gennosuke used the screen to get the ball and shot a three-pointer from the outside, but missed. Akagi grabbed the rebound and Mitsui had already started, but at the moment Akagi passed the ball, Otake rushed out from the side, jumped up and intercepted the ball, and when Akagi rushed to block it, he passed the ball under Akagi's armpit to Kimura, who scored a dunk and caused Fukuda to foul. It was 2+1.

Both sides refused to give in, and the game went on. In the blink of an eye, there were 10 minutes left in the second half, and Xiangbei was still 57 points behind at 60:3.

"These 3 points are really hard to catch up" by Xiangbei players

"These guys are so tenacious, we can't leave them behind" by Bodo Business Team Member

In this attack by Hakata, Koyama used the screen to shoot a three-pointer, but missed. "My rebound" Akagi blocked Otake, and the rebound was almost certain. But on the other side, Hyono, who replaced Kimura, jumped up and took the rebound from Akagi. He threw it directly to Gennosuke, and Katsumi tried to block it, but was a step too slow, and Gennosuke made a three-pointer.

Mitsui used Akagi's screen to shoot a three-pointer, but this three-pointer also missed because Akagi pulled out to screen and no one was grabbing the rebound under the basket. Hakata received the backcourt rebound and Xiaoshan organized the attack. The ball was handed to Hyono in the interior. Hyono forced to attack Akagi, but under Akagi's defense, the shot missed and Otake jumped up to tip the ball in the air.

"It's not that easy." Akagi jumped up, touched the basketball with his fingertips, and the ball bounced out of the basket.

"Good defense, Akagi"

But another white figure appeared and tapped the ball into the basket.

"Well done, Yasukawa"

"Shohoku's physical crisis is beginning to emerge," said Takato Riki who was watching the game in the stands. "Shohoku has been playing against two top eight teams, Aiwa and Touou, in a row. They have consumed a lot of physical energy, and this game is missing both Kusao Takeshi and Murasakibara. Akagi and Mitsui will have to shoulder heavier tasks. Shohoku has two major lineup flaws. The first is that Murasakibara does not have a suitable substitute, which we all know. The second is that there is one less power forward in the interior who can support Akagi. Although Shohoku's captain Kusao Takeshi is mediocre, he can still give Akagi some help, and Horita and Nakajima can't replace Kusao Takeshi's role at all. In the last game, although Mitsui only played for less than half the game and maintained relatively better physical strength, in this game, he has to organize the offense and take on the responsibility of scoring, and he also has to limit Koyama on the defensive end. This will accelerate the consumption of his physical strength."

As he was speaking, Kemei suddenly fell to the ground. He tried to get rid of Gennosuke's defense, but just as he was moving, he felt a sharp pain in his calf. It was a cramp.

"Horita, you replace Fukuda, Nakajima, you replace Katsumi." Coach Anzai also noticed that the Xiangbei players had physical problems and began to make substitutions.

"Hirai, you replace Yasukawa and continue to consume the energy of Xiangbei's role players."

Xiangbei's attack failed, and Hakata scored a counterattack

"Very good, let's play like this and we will definitely win," Jin Jing shouted from the coaching booth.

"We're sure to win?" This sentence angered the Xiangbei players.

Mitsui made a gesture, and the other four Xiangbei players nodded, taking their opponents away, leaving Mitsui and Xiaoshan one-on-one. Xiaoshan kept his distance from Mitsui. He didn't understand what Mitsui's gesture meant. He turned his head and peeked back. His sixth sense told him that there seemed to be something unusual behind him. At the moment he peeked, Mitsui had already started. Xiaoshan could be said to be observant and alert. In that situation, his body reacted first based on his intuition. He followed up and blocked Mitsui's cutting route, and did not let Mitsui take advantage of the opportunity. Seeing that he was unsuccessful, Mitsui pulled the ball back and stabilized it. Just when Xiaoshan had just stabilized a little with Mitsui's footsteps, Mitsui started quickly, and in the same direction, he swung forward. His feet did not leave the original place, but it was just a feint. As a defender, Xiaoshan was in a passive position. He was shaken and barely regained his center of gravity. Before he could stand firm, Mitsui quickly broke through with the ball. Xiaoshan could no longer keep up with Mitsui's pace and was thrown away. Mitsui rushed to the basket and faced Otake's block. He shot directly with a change of hands. The ball rolled twice in the basket and fell into the net.

"White No. 7 committed a foul, the goal counts, one penalty kick"

Mitsui made the free throw!
