Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

Chapter 142: Fierce Battle at Aiwa Academy: Akagi Shows Off His Power

"Well done, Akagi" Mugure and Mitsui high-fived Akagi

"How is it?" Aiwa's inside player Kazuya Eda asked his inside partner with concern.

"That number 8 is so strong. I am no match for him. Only senior Mishima can compete with him." Zhemusi adjusted his breathing.

"It's okay, you are different from him, you are a technical center. He is so tall and strong, his mobility is definitely not as good as yours, use your footwork to deal with him, come on, next year's main center" Eda Kazuya patted Tetsuki on the shoulder

"Leave it to me." Zhemusi looked at the back of No. 8 Xiangbei player, full of fighting spirit.

The offense and defense switched, Aiwa Academy attacked, Sawada Ryuji dribbled to the frontcourt, saw Tetsuki asking for the ball, nodded, and passed the ball to Tetsuki.

"I thought this ball would be given to you, but it was given to the center. It seems you are confident in his ability," said Mitsui, who was guarding Moroboshi.

"Don't think that your center's successful dunk just now is amazing. Our Zhemu is no ordinary person. On the defensive end, your center may not be able to limit him." Zhu Xingda responded

Zhemu got the ball, used his left foot as the axis, and turned around. While Akagi's center of gravity was to the right, he suddenly turned to the right and prepared to shoot.

"It's not that easy." Akagi pulled back his center of gravity and stretched out his hand to block Zhemu's shot, but he didn't expect that Zhemu's shot was also a fake move. Instead, he took the ball, stepped forward with his right foot, broke through from Akagi's right side, and went to the basket, and made a layup. Akagi didn't expect Zhemu's footwork to be so flexible, and he neglected to guard against it. As a result, Zhemu made the shot. The two sides tied.

"See, our center is not bad either," Moroboshi said, looking at Mitsui.

"In terms of strength, Zhemu may not be as good as No. 8 of Xiangbei, but Zhemu used to be a small forward. He only switched to playing inside because of his height increase. His flexibility is better than most inside players. No. 8 of Xiangbei is just a touchstone." Aiwa's coach looked at his students on the court. "Good goal, Zhemu," Aiwa's coach applauded from the sidelines.

"Give me the ball." Akagi passed the ball to Mugure at the baseline and whispered as he passed Mugure. Mugure nodded with a smile. When he reached the three-point line, Mugure gave the ball to Akagi without hesitation, and the second round of the two sophomore centers began!

This time, Akagi did not choose to use strength, but first used back-to-the-basket tactics to gradually advance into the penalty area. When Zhemu's defensive center of gravity shifted slightly, he suddenly turned around with a sharp and precise back-to-basket move like a scalpel and quickly cut into the baseline.

Zhemu was caught off guard and Akagi suddenly dodged behind him. He tried to interfere with Akagi with his body, but it was useless. Akagi took a big step, stuck in a favorable position, and shot the ball under the basket, making a steady two-point shot.

Aiwa Academy attacked, and the first goal was scored by Zhemu. Firstly, out of trust in Zhemu, and secondly, if the ball was not given to Zhemu, it might hurt Zhemu's self-esteem, Sawada handed the ball to the inside player again.

In this shot, Zhemu grabbed the basketball with both hands and raised his arms quickly, making a jumping gesture. Akagi did not react excessively after seeing this, but just raised his arms high and stuck to Zhemu tightly, not giving him an easy chance to shoot. Akagi was confident that with his height of 6cm higher than Zhemu, he could interfere with him even if Zhemu shot.

Akagi just took a step forward and held up Zhemu's body, and Zhemu could no longer go beyond the line.

Seeing that his fake move did not fool Akagi, Zhemu passed the ball to the outside line and signaled for the ball again. After receiving the pass from the outside line, he turned around, bypassed Akagi's defense, and made a layup.

"It's not that simple" Akagi's voice came from behind. "Bang!" Zhemu was greeted by a big hot pot.

"Good block, Akagi," Mugure praised his friend after getting the ball. "Fast Break" Mugure was about to speed up when Aiwa Academy's captain Sawada appeared in front of him and reached out to steal the ball from him. Mugure was quick to avoid the interception. Mugure thought of Coach Anzai's arrangement, so he slowed down his pace and waited for his teammates to get into position.

"Center, they will still give the ball to the center! Pay attention to the defense in the inside," Aiwa's coach reminded the players on the field.

"Defend in front and don't let him catch the ball easily," Kazuya Eda reminded his inside partner.

"Got it." Zhemu followed the senior's advice and used a front-circle defense against Akagi.

"You can just defend in front, you underestimated Akagi's strength." Murasaki sneered. "Next, Akagi." Murasaki threw a high ball to the inside. Akagi understood and used his strength to push Tetsuki out of the three-second zone, and then moved to the basket. He caught the ball in the air, landed, jumped and dunked. Kazuya Eda realized that something was wrong and immediately made up for the defense. "Don't even think about dunking!"

"Get out of the way!" Akagi pushed the ball into the basket through Jiang Tian. "Bang!" The basket buzzed. "Plop!" Accompanied by the sound of people landing.

"Red No. 6, blocking foul, goal counts, one penalty kick" the referee whistled. Akagi scored the penalty kick!

Aichi attacked, and Tetsuki came to the high post to ask for the ball. Sawada thought again and again, "Maybe Tetsuki was a little careless just now, let him try again, after all, Tetsuki's ability to face the basket is not bad." Sawada still chose to trust Tetsuki.

Zhemu still had some concerns when facing Akagi's open-arm defense. Not only was he 6 cm shorter than his opponent, but the fact that he was blocked in the last attack showed that his opponent's jumping ability was no worse than his. It seemed that his previous offensive methods had no effect.

Zhemu lowered his shoulders, held the ball in both hands and stretched downward, his upper body swaying from side to side, and even his center of gravity seemed to be constantly moving.

"Left or right???" Akagi was highly concentrated.

Zhemu suddenly started moving, the basketball in his hand moved from his left hand to his right hand as he took a step forward, and his body rushed to Akagi's left side.

Akagi reacted the moment the opponent started, moving his body one step to the left, ready to withstand the opponent's impact.

But just when Zhemu was about to hit Akagi, he stopped and made a jump shot on the spot.

Akagi laughed. This move was very similar to the offensive method of Hanagata, the center of Shoyo. However, Hanagata's shot at least had a fadeaway. Do you think your ordinary jump shot can succeed in front of him? Although he had never played against Hanagata, Akagi had watched Hanagata's games, and Coach Anzai had also explained the defensive methods to him. At the same time, Akagi was abused by Hoshino in his first year of high school. Only by being abused can one grow. Akagi's experience is much richer than that of Tetsuki, who had everything going his way.

He started later but arrived first. When the basketball just left Zhemu's hands, Akagi's palm had already appeared in front of the basketball.

"Crack~~~"

"pretty!!!"

“Great fight!!!”

The audience's emotions were ignited by Akagi's two dunks and two blocks in one minute.
