Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 112 What qualifications do you have to be compared with me!
“This guy jumps really high!”

After landing, Akagi couldn't help but glance at Asakura Tianyu.

Akagi's jumping ability is not bad, it can even be called excellent, and he can be ranked among the best in SD.

However, Asakura Tianyu can jump higher than him and can be called a jumping man.

Of course, compared to Sakuragi, he is still far inferior.

Nobuhiko Okamoto came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Itachi Yasuda quickly came up to him.

Just as Nobuhiko Okamoto was preparing to observe the situation on the court, suddenly, Itachi Yasuda acted decisively and made a lightning-fast, precise steal.

slap~
Nobuhiko Okamoto subconsciously tried to pull the ball away, but the basketball was still touched by Itachi Yasuda's fingers and fell to the side.

By the way, Itachi Yasuda is still the steals king of Osaka.

After successfully stealing the ball, Itachi Yasuda grabbed the basketball without any hesitation and ran down the court with the ball.

Itachi Yasuda used his speed advantage to easily get rid of Nobuhiko Okamoto's entanglement.

Compared with Nobuhiko Okamoto, Itachi Yasuda has better speed and explosive power.

Itachi Yasuda was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. Murasaki and others wanted to chase him, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Itachi Yasuda rushed to the basket and made a beautiful layup, sending the ball steadily into the basket.

Hua Hua Hua~
Toyotama scored the first two points, and Toyotama's supporters instantly burst into warm cheers.

Nobuhiko Okamoto lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

Mu Mu patted Nobuhiko Okamoto's shoulder and said to comfort him: "Okamoto, it's okay. Remember to pass the ball to me after you cross half court!"

In the past month, Murasakibara's organization and passing skills have improved significantly, even better than Nobuhiko Okamoto.

In addition, he also has LV6 ground pass, which can effectively increase the passing accuracy and speed, and reduce the risk of being intercepted.

Finally, due to his extreme reaction speed, Murasakibara's error rate is much lower than that of other players.

Whether in the county competition or the national competition, Muguro averaged less than one turnover per game, which is very rare in basketball games.

With Murasakibara's encouragement, Nobuhiko Okamoto raised his head with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and tried to relax his nervousness.

In the attack of the Xiangbei team, Nobuhiko Okamoto delayed the time and stepped into the front court almost on time.

Coach Anzai specifically explained before the game that facing Touou, who mainly uses a run-and-gun style of play, Shohoku must slow down the tempo of the game. Otherwise, once Touou sets the tempo, the opponent can rely on its rich game experience and tactical qualities to put Shohoku into a passive position.

In addition, with a devilish schedule of one game a day, Xiangbei must conserve its physical strength as much as possible, otherwise even if it wins this game, it will not be beneficial for the subsequent games.

I have to say that Xiangbei's lineup depth is really bad, with only seven or eight players who can be used.

As soon as Nobuhiko Okamoto crossed the half-court, Itachi Yasuda came up again.

This time, Nobuhiko Okamoto seemed particularly vigilant. He leaned sideways on Itachi Yasuda, trying to increase the physical confrontation.

To his surprise, although Itachi Yasuda was shorter and lighter than him, his confrontation was no less than his.

In this situation, Nobuhiko Okamoto had to pass the ball to Murasakibara.

After receiving the ball, Murasakibara made a ground pass and passed the ball to Akagi.

bang~
While catching the ball, Akagi leaned back.

Asakura Tianyu's expression changed drastically. Even though he lowered his center of gravity, his body still couldn't stop moving backwards.

In terms of confrontation ability, Akagi is obviously superior to the skinny Asakura Tenyu.

bang~
After knocking back Asakura Tenyu again, Akagi turned and stepped into the penalty area, ready to score with a gorilla dunk.

At this moment, Kishimoto hurriedly left Ikeda Yuho and rushed towards Akagi, trying to stop his attack.

Facing the double-team from Kishimoto and Asakura Tenha, Akagi decisively passed the ball to Ikeda Yuho who was in the open position.

While Kishimoto was making up for the defense, he was always paying attention to Akagi's every move.

The moment Akagi passed the ball, he suddenly stopped, then turned around as fast as he could and pounced on Ikeda Yuho who was about to catch the ball and shoot.

In order to avoid being blocked, Yuho Ikeda had to raise his shooting angle.

bang~
This shot inevitably ended in failure.

If Yuho Ikeda hadn't been slow to shoot, his shot wouldn't have been interfered with by Kishimoto.

Although he has experienced the baptism of county competitions and national competitions, and has been training hard during this period, Yuho Ikeda has still not reached the level of starting for a strong team.

Given that Asakura Tenyu's speed is faster than Akagi, in order to avoid being forced into a fast break by Touou, Akagi had to give up the opportunity to compete for the offensive rebound and quickly retreat to his own half.

Asakura Tianyu protected the rebound, and the Toyotama team immediately launched a fast break.

The Xiangbei players retreated in time and successfully curbed Touou's fast break momentum.

Although there was no opportunity for a fast break, the Touou players were still running fast.

They did not run aimlessly, but created scoring opportunities through frequent off-ball screens and pick-and-roll tactics.

Soon, Matsushita Kura temporarily got rid of Mitsui under the cover of his teammates.

At the first moment, Itachi Yasuda passed the ball.

As the captain and core of the Touou team, Matsushita Kura's strength is unquestionable and he is ranked among the best in the country.

After receiving the ball, Matsushita used a realistic fake shot to deceive Mitsui, and then rushed straight into the penalty area with the ball.

At this time, Akagi was taken away by Asakura Tianyu and away from the basket. Asakura Tianyu has a stable shooting ability, and Akagi must always keep an eye on him.

Except for Asakura Tenyu, the other Touou players also have the ability to shoot from mid-range and long range.

The moment Matsushita Kura attacked the basket, Yuho Ikeda had to provide backup defense.

Matsushita Kura leaned sideways on Ikeda Yuho and made a ground pass, and the basketball was accurately passed into Kishimoto's hands.

The moment he received the basketball, Kishimoto shot.

shuh~
The basketball went into the net with a crisp friction sound.

In this round, it took less than ten seconds for Matsushita to break free from the defense and assist Kishimoto.

The core of the run-and-gun tactics is to make the ball flow quickly on the court through unremitting running and conduction, forcing the opponent's defense to have loopholes, thereby creating scoring opportunities.

The purpose of the run-and-gun game is to score more points than the opposing team.

However, the run-and-gun tactic is also a double-edged sword.

Although it can bring quick scoring and control of the game rhythm, it also has extremely high requirements on the players' physical fitness and concentration.

Once a player's physical strength declines or his concentration becomes inattentive during a game, the opponent may seize the opportunity to counterattack.

In addition, this tactic can easily lead to loopholes in the team's defense, because the players are too involved in the offense and, due to physical limitations, they neglect defense to a certain extent.

Offense and defense transition!

Nobuhiko Okamoto slowly carried the ball across half court, continuing to delay time.

Itachi Yasuda noticed Nobuhiko Okamoto's intention and actively sought physical confrontation, trying to interrupt Nobuhiko Okamoto's rhythm.

However, Nobuhiko Okamoto did not panic because of this. He dribbled the ball sideways steadily and constantly resolved the interference from Itachi Yasuda.

Nobuhiko Okamoto's ball protection is like Li Yi!

Well, not Henry this time!

Nobuhiko Okamoto's main role on the court, in addition to carrying the ball across half court, is to delay time as much as possible, lower the tempo of the game and reduce the number of rounds.

To put it simply, it's more like Fisher's job with the Lakers.

Not far away, Nan Lie showed a confident smile and invited Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, as the scoring champion in different regions, are you interested in competing with me to see who gets a higher score in this game?"

Mu Mu did not answer but asked: "How many points can you average in Osaka?"

Hearing this question, Nan Lie raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "Exactly 30 points!"

Looking at Nan Lie's smug look, Mu Mu felt a little speechless.

He really couldn't believe that the naive boy in front of him would be the future 'ace killer'.

Mu Mu replied calmly: "Then you are really lucky! If it were in our Kanagawa, averaging 30 points per game would make you the scoring champion, and you can't even make it into the top three! By the way, I average 35.7 points per game!"

Muguro was not exaggerating, because the third place in the scoring list of the Kanagawa Prefecture tournament was Watanabe Masao, who averaged 30.2 points per game, a number even higher than Minami Lie.

Although there is only a 5.7-point difference between Murasakibara and Nan Lie, in a basketball game, such a gap means that there is at least one level difference between them.

This is like a student who accidentally gets 100 points in the exam and then becomes complacent and thinks he can be compared with the top students.

In fact, the top student got 100 points because the full score is 100. The gap between them is far more than just that little bit in the score.

To sum it up in one sentence, what qualifications do you have to be compared with me!
After hearing Mu Mu's answer, Nan Lie was speechless.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Nan Lie took a deep breath and said with emotion: "You people in Kanagawa Prefecture are really perverted!"

At this time, there were ten seconds left for Xiangbei's attack, and Murasakibara took the initiative to run towards Nobuhiko Okamoto.

The two of them cooperated tacitly by passing the ball hand to hand, and Murasakibara successfully received the basketball.

Using Nobuhiko Okamoto's body as a cover, Murasakibara made a breakthrough to the right. Nan Lie subconsciously moved sideways, trying to block Murasakibara's attack route.

However, at this moment, Mu Mu quickly broke through to the other side and easily broke through Nan Lie's defense.

Nan Lie chased closely, but his speed was not as fast as Mu Mu's, and he couldn't catch up for a while.

Asakura Tenyu tried to make up for the defense, but was frightened by Murasakibara's fake pass and was forced to stop.

Muguro quickly rushed to the front of the paint area and easily scored two points with a jump shot.

For him, scoring is that easy.

"Return to defense!"

At the first moment, Xiangbei quickly returned to defense!
Offense and defense transition!

In the attack of the Toouoma team, Itachi Yasuda quickly dribbled the ball across half court.

"Come on, show me the strength of Osaka's scoring champion!"

Mu Mu was on high alert, trying to stimulate Nan Lie's competitive spirit with words.

"Just wait and see!"

Nan Lie did not refuse. He leaned against Mu Mu and reached out for the ball.

Without hesitation, Itachi Yasuda chose to pass the ball.

Nan Lie is Osaka's top scorer, so he is naturally full of confidence.

　If I update 6,000 to 7,000 words, it will take eight hours a day...
