"Gorilla!"

"What, Sakuragi?"

"If we change to Lingnan, can we defeat this SS-level Sanno Industry?"

On the bus back to the hotel for the Xiangbei team, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly asked Akagi Tsuyoshi this question.

In an instant, the entire Xiangbei team, which had a warm atmosphere because of Lingnan's smooth qualification, fell into a deathly silence......

Even the head coach of the Xiangbei team, the chubby coach Anxi, who has always been as steady as Mount Tai and does not change his face, also stretched out his hand at this time, supported the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Unless, a miracle happens......"

Akagi Gangken's words made Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes flash.

"Is that possible? Hahaha~ That's no problem, then we must be able to defeat Lingnan, because, I'm the one who always creates miracles!! ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who laughed heartily, didn't know that if Chen Xihao hadn't changed the plot of the original two-dimensional world of "Slam Dunk", as Sakuragi himself said, he was indeed the man who created a miracle.

is like the inconspicuous substitute center of the Lingnan team, Guan Ping.

At the guesthouse hotel where the Lingnan team stayed, Coach Ooka was walking with Aida Hikochi from room to room, and after coming out, he gently closed the door with his hand.

The last room was a triple room, and on the two beds in the room, two people who were sleeping in extremely indecent positions were snoring like thunder.

Coach Taoka stepped forward, shook off the quilt next to the bed, and gently covered them.

"Coach?"

"Shh~~ What's wrong? Hikoichi? ”

Coach Tian Gang put his index finger to his mouth and whispered a warning to Hikoichi Aida.

"Why didn't you see Xihao's seniors?"

Hikoichi Aida also lowered his voice and asked softly.

Coach Tian Gang looked at the gap in the curtain door that led to the courtyard in the room, which was not completely covered, and stretched out his finger to the outside of the courtyard.

When the two of them came to the outside of this courtyard, they saw that "Gurr~" was steaming in the old hot spring pool, and a man with a towel covering his face was also snoring and sleeping.

"This guy, I'm really uneasy, why did he fall asleep here, if he caught a cold, how would he play the game the day after tomorrow? Hikoichi, go to the bathroom and get a bath towel. ”

"Okay, Coach!"

Coach Taoka came to the hot spring pool, gently covered Nozomihiro over his face, and took off the towel that had already cooled down.

The wet face suddenly came into contact with the cold air, which made Chen Xihao's eyebrows tremble slightly, the snoring stopped, he was a little tired, and he opened his eyes with some effort.

"Huh? Coach, are you here? ”

"Why do you fall asleep here, go back to bed and rest after taking a bath, it's easy to get sick."

"Hehe, I thought so, but I was so tired that I didn't expect to fall asleep after soaking for a while."

At this time, Hikochi Aida came to the hot spring pool with a bath towel.

"Come, wipe your body quickly, and go into the house to sleep."

"Okay, Coach!"

After drying his body, he returned to the house, and sent off Shigeichi Taoka and Hikoichi Aida, Chen Xihao found a chair, sat down, and looked at Ah Fu and Xiandao who were sleeping on the bed, he smiled slightly, and picked up the national competition battle table on the table.

Is there only three games left? I'm going to see the Xiangbei team again......

"Hey, Naito!!"

"Huh? Captain? ”

In Kanagawa Prefecture, in the basketball hall of Miuradai High School, a big bald head who was practicing shooting stopped the shooting practice in his hand and looked at the captain of his team, Murayu.

"Remember that red-haired boy?"

"How could you not remember! Sooner or later, I will have to smash the basketball on his head and put him in the hospital!! Bastard, red-haired monster! ”

As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi was mentioned, the big bald Naito clenched his fists, his face was hideous, if Sakuragi appeared in front of him now, he would definitely go up and strangle Sakuragi.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, that red-haired boy's Xiangbei team actually reached the semifinals of the national competition. Moreover, you will never know who their opponents are. ”

"Huh? How can it be? Is this what is written in the newspaper? Show me, Captain! ”

Naito took the newspaper in Murayu's hand and began to read through the lines at a glance.

"Captain? Do we want it? ”

After reading it, Naito handed the newspaper back to Murayu.

"Well, for Kanagawa's sake, we're going to watch this game too."

"What's going on? This national tournament turned into a Kanagawa vs Aichi match? The four teams in the semifinals turned out to be in a state of civil war?? ”

Kanagawa Prefecture, Tsukutake High School, and Takashi Izumi waved the newspaper in his hand with a look of disbelief.

At this time, the door of the training hall was opened, and the whistling Nango Kuichiro walked in leisurely.

"Hey, guys, what are you all doing together? Don't train today? Then I'm going out to pick up girls~"

"Nango, let's take a look at the newspaper."

Wu Dai took the newspaper from Izumi's hand and handed it to Nango, who was walking with a swaying shoulder, full of ruffianism.

"I'm a god!! How is this possible?? The Lingnan team actually reached the semifinals? Also defeated the SS-class Sanno Industries? Wait, wait, who told the Xiangbei team what was going on? How could they possibly make it to the Final Four? ”

Five minutes later, Tsukutake High School made an all-staff decision, and three days later, he went to the national tournament to watch the Kanagawa Prefecture Civil War.

Seaside Avenue in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Hi ~ Haruko~!"

"Tutu Tu ~ " A small motorcycle with black smoke emitting from its exhaust pipe, loaded with four people, stopped in front of Haruko Akagi, who was walking with her girlfriends.

"Yohei? What are you doing here? ”

"We're going to work in the next two days, and we're going to cheer for the Xiangbei team in three days."

The sound of a male duck's throat coming from inside the motorcycle. A big, chubby fat face popped up and pressed against Mito's chin. He had been squatting on the pedals of a small motorcycle of less than 30 centimeters before, so that people could not see it at all.

"Gao Gongwang, get down! You're taking up too much space! ”

Yohei stretched out a kick and kicked Takamiya off the motorcycle like a football.

"Hehehe, you've worked hard, then we'll see you in Hiroshima then, and on the day of the finals, I'll go too~"

"Okay, Haruko, see you in Hiroshima in three days!"
