Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 136 Warm-up match with Changcheng (Part )

With the end of the prefectural junior high school tournament, Kanagawa's basketball fever has temporarily come to an end. All colleges and universities have started a new journey. High schools that missed the national tournament have started rebuilding and preparing for the next season. Hainan and Xiangbei, which entered the national tournament, are preparing for the national tournament, and Xiangyang is also actively training to catch the last train to the national tournament.

In the blink of an eye, it was the final exam, and after the exam results were announced. Unlike the previous life, the current Xiangbei is no longer the team with many problem children. The current Xiangbei:

In the first year of high school, Katsumi is a top student, while Nakajima and Fukuda have average grades, but they can pass the exam without any problems.

The second-year high school students Akagi, Mugure, and Hasegawa were all top students. All three were ranked in the top 30 in the grade. Mitsui and Horita did not go down a bad path, and in their first year of high school, they received news that if they failed four subjects, they would be banned from participating in the national competition. So the two did not miss the national competition because of poor grades. They also made up for it. In the end, although their academic performance was still average, it was more than enough to pass.

The captain and vice-captain of the senior high school students did not want to miss the national competition because of failing grades. After all, this was their last summer. After this summer, some of them might not play basketball anymore. For this hard-earned opportunity, they all studied hard and passed the exam.

Upon learning that everyone had passed the exam, Murasakibara breathed a sigh of relief and explained that due to changes in history, Sakuragi's father was still alive, and with the discipline of Murasakibara and others, Sakuragi's results, although not excellent, were guaranteed to pass.

After passing the exam, there were only ten days left before the opening of the national competition. Akagi also recovered from his injury and joined the team training. In the empty campus of Xiangbei High School, only a few clubs were still active, and the basketball club was one of them.

Practice for the national competition has already begun...

The sound of footsteps, dribbling, shooting, every sound is pleasing to the ear...

Hanging on the wall of the gymnasium is a calligraphy piece written by Ayako that reads "National Domination".

Two crisp applause burst out among the crowd.

"gather!"

On this day, Coach Anxi appeared in the basketball hall, called over Kusao Takeshi, and whispered a few words. Soon, under Kusao Takeshi's instructions, the crowd quickly gathered. Seeing that everyone had gathered together, Kusao Takeshi said, "We will have a training camp this summer as usual. This time we will train together with the high school coached by Coach Anxi's juniors."

"Joint training? Which high school is the other party?" someone asked.

Kusao Takeshi smiled and said, "Don't be surprised when you hear this. The other party is Changcheng High School in Shizuoka Prefecture!"

Some of the team members seemed surprised when they heard the name.

Mugure was also surprised. Changcheng High School, wasn't that the school that played a practice match with Xiangbei a year later? How could it become Xiangbei's opponent a year in advance? But after a little thought, he was relieved. In the original plot line, Xiangbei was eliminated in the first round this year. It was impossible for it to enter the national competition, and there was no chance to meet a national-level team like Changcheng. However, now, because of Mugure's rebirth, the butterfly storm that he instigated has affected the development of the plot. Xiangbei won the second place in Kanagawa Prefecture a year in advance, second only to Kainan University Affiliated High School to enter the national competition. So Coach Anzai's arrangement may naturally be advanced by a year.

"That's right. Changcheng High School is the team representing Shizuoka Prefecture in the national competition. It is also a strong team that once made it to the top eight in the country. If we don't deal with them seriously, it will embarrass Coach Anzai." Kusao Takeshi said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Just like that, without any incidents, Murasakibara followed the team on the bullet train to Shizuoka Prefecture and began a week-long training life.

"good afternoon!"

The powerful greeting was the first impression that Shohoku brought to Shizuoka's representative team, Changcheng High School. "I am the captain of Shohoku, Kusao Takeshi, please give me your guidance." As the captain, Kusao Takeshi walked up to the coach of Changcheng.

"Kusao Takeshi, it's great that you're here at this time. Welcome!" The bald middle-aged man in earth-colored short-sleeved shirt in front of him is the coach of Changcheng High School's basketball team. He has a kind face similar to Coach Anzai and speaks in a humble voice. "You are worthy of being Coach Anzai. You can actually train Xiangbei to become the representative team of Kanagawa!"

During the conversation, Chang Cheng's coach also brought his team in front of the Xiangbei people. He pointed to one of the players who was about 175 cm tall and wore a blue short-sleeved shirt with a square face, and said to Kusao Takeshi: "Kusao Takeshi, this is our captain, Kuwata Shuichi. Kuwata, this is the captain of Xiangbei, Kusao Takeshi."

"Thank you for your guidance." Kuwata Hideichi also nodded politely. The captains of both teams shook hands. Then, Kuwata walked up to Coach Anzai and greeted him.

Mu Mu looked carefully at the players of Changcheng, and the player he mainly observed was Mikoshiba. As expected, he found Mikoshiba in the crowd. He was about 185cm tall and looked like Muto Masaru from Hainan. However, unlike the animation, Mikoshiba politely greeted the Xiangbei group. It seems that the animation adaptation is killing people.

In the locker room, the captain Kusao Takeshi's voice resounded in the air.

"There are three players in Changcheng High School who are worth noting. The captain is a third-year student named Kuwata Shuichi, 176cm tall, a point guard, with outstanding organizational skills, averaging 8.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, dominating the assist and steal charts in Shizuoka Prefecture. The shooting guard is Yufune, 181cm tall, a second-year student, with outstanding three-point shooting skills. During the county competition, he averaged 4.5 three-pointers per game. The power forward is Mikoshiba, 185cm tall, a second-year student. He has exquisite skills. Although he is a second-year student, he is the scoring champion of Shizuoka Prefecture, and his popularity is not inferior to that of the captain Kuwata Shuichi." Kusao Takeshi introduced the players of Changcheng.

"What a strong team! They deserve to be the number one team in Shizuoka Prefecture." Some of the Xiangbei players commented.

"Why do we need to boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige? We are not bad either. Although we are the second in Kanagawa, we were once evenly matched with Hainan. Hainan is one of the top four in the country, while Changcheng High School is only one of the top eight. And don't forget that Akagi missed the joint finals at that time. Now that Akagi is back, we in Xiangbei also have a trident. Changcheng should not think of getting the upper hand over us," said Mugure.

"Oh wow, Murasakibara-san said it very well. Remember, you are the strongest," Coach Anzai summarized.

“Yes, we are the strongest.”
