Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 113 Mu Mu blasts Nan Lie
Nan Lie caught the pass from his teammate, his young face full of confidence, and said to Mu Mu: "Although I am very surprised that you can average 35.7 points per game, I have watched your game videos, and I think it will be difficult to limit my performance with your defense!"

Although Nan Lie thinks he cannot restrict Murasakibara, he also believes that Murasakibara cannot restrict his performance, and the two sides are more likely to explode against each other.

"Have you seen me in my heyday?"

Muguro left this ambiguous statement and began to concentrate on defense.

Nan Lie probably wouldn't have thought that after the end of the county competition, in just one month, Murasakibara's strength had made significant progress.

"Then I'm going to do it!"

Nan Lie held the ball with his back to the basket, trying to use his strength to shake Mu Mu's center of gravity, but the opponent did not move at all.

In terms of confrontation ability, Murasakibara is not inferior to Nan Lie at all.

After trying again, Nan Lie shook his shoulders left and right, then leaned on the Murasakibara gyroscope and turned around, breaking through to one side with the ball.

Mu Mu predicted Nan Lie's movements, and the moment he turned around, he completed the steal with his extreme reaction.

This is a typical case of someone passing the ball but not being able to!

slap~
"Oops!"

Nan Lie was shocked and wanted to steal the ball on the spot, but Mu Mu got the basketball first.

The first thing Murasakibara did was to grab the basketball and run down the court with the ball.

Nan Lie chased after him relentlessly, but Mu Mu's speed was beyond his expectations.

Murasaki's physical fitness has reached a first-class stage, especially his speed, explosive power and flexibility, which have reached the top level.

"Why is this guy so fast!"

Nan Lie was secretly amazed, but he was unwilling to be left behind by Mu Mu, so he gritted his teeth and chased after him with all his might.

By the time Mu Mu rushed outside the three-point line, Nan Lie finally caught up.

In order to slow down Murasakibara's pace, he actively sought physical confrontation.

In the fierce confrontation, Murasaki used the European step to cause Nan Lie to lose his balance and he almost fell to the ground.

Murasakibara's European step has reached level 7, which is naturally very deceptive and has a certain chance of knocking the opponent player to the ground.

After breaking through Nan Lie's defense, Mu Mu ran straight to the basket with the ball.

Under Nan Lie's helpless gaze, Murasakibara easily scored a layup and scored two points for Xiangbei again.

"It looks like I won the first round!"

Mu Mu left a word calmly and turned back to defend without looking back.

Nan Lie didn't say anything, but his heart seemed to be on fire, and his anger was a little bit bigger.

It was Toouma team's turn to attack. Just as Itachi Yasuda crossed half court with the ball, Nan Lie took the initiative to ask for the ball again.

How could Osaka's scoring champion give up so easily?

He was determined to get back at the opponent and let Murasakibara know how powerful Osaka's scoring champion was.

Without hesitation, Itachi Yasuda passed the ball to Nan Lie again.

In Yasuda Keisuke's opinion, what just happened was just an accident. He believed that Nan Lie would seize the opportunity this time and would not let the same mistake happen again.

This time, Nan Lie chose to attack facing the basket.

He first changed direction in front of his body, and then followed with a cross step, trying to use his speed and skills to break through Murasakibara's defense.

Murasaki quickly moved sideways and intercepted his breakthrough direction.

Whether it is a change of direction in front of the body or a crossover step, he has a deep understanding.

Nan Lie was never able to break through Murasakibara's defense, and was gradually forced to the sidelines under Murasakibara's pressing.

"How can it be!"

Nan Lie was very surprised. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

He originally thought that he could easily defeat Murasakibara, but in the end he made no progress.

Is it possible that his ability is not as good as those players in Kanagawa? Or has Mugure made such great progress in just one month?
Nan Lie didn't think much about it. He felt that the space for maneuvering was getting smaller and smaller and his movements were becoming more and more restricted. He knew that he had to make some changes.

Since there was no space to pass the ball, Nan Lie tried to hit the ball at Mu Mu's feet.

The moment Nan Lie hit the ball towards Mu Mu's right foot, Mu Mu used his reaction speed to grab the basketball as fast as lightning.

slap~
Murasakibara made another steal, grabbed the basketball and ran down quickly.

Nan Lie chased relentlessly and finally caught up, blocking Mu Mu again.

This time, no matter what he said, he would not let Murasakibara score again.

In the blink of an eye, Murasakibara appeared at the horns.

Looking at Nan Lie who was blocking his way, Mu Mu just made a gesture of worshipping Buddha. Nan Lie thought that Mu Mu wanted to shoot, so he subconsciously raised his body.

This was exactly the effect that Murasakibara wanted. He took the opportunity to break into the basket and score a layup.

shuh~
The basketball went through the net, making a crisp sound.

"In the second round, I won again!"

Murasaki left another light sentence and turned back to defend.

Nan Lie stood there, feeling unwilling and frustrated.

Captain Matsushita Kura of Toyotama patted Nan Lie's shoulder and consoled him: "Nan Lie, calm down!"

"Captain, I want to try again!" Nan Lie looked at Matsushita Cang with pleading eyes and said again: "One last time!"

"All right!"

Matsushita nodded reluctantly.

Soon, Nan Lie appeared in front of Mu Mu again.

"Nan Lie, do you want to continue?"

"continue!"

"Why does this guy look a bit like Rukawa Kaede?"

Mu Mu was guessing in his heart, but he liked Tietouwa because he could experience Zebei's happiness.

As for whether he can defend this ball, Mugure is not very worried. The current Mugure can be called the Rukawa Kaede of the plot year, and it is also the Rukawa Kaede who has been baptized by the national competition.

From the perspective of basketball skills and physical fitness, the third-year Nan Lie is not as good as the first-year Rukawa Kaede.

Not to mention Nan Lie who is in the first year, the gap between the two is obvious.

In Murasakibara's opinion, at this stage, Nan Lie is at best a core player of a pseudo-strong team.

His technical level is still some distance away from being the core of a strong team.

To be honest, even Nan Lie in the plot year was at best a core goalkeeper of a strong team.

Although Murasakibara's single defense and assist defense are not very outstanding, he has first-class physical fitness and extreme reaction speed, and his defensive ability has at least reached an excellent level.

Although it cannot limit players of the level of Zebei Rongji and Takamiya Motoyu, it is more than enough to deal with Nan Lie.

Nan Lie has comprehensive offensive capabilities, he is good at breaking through and shooting, but he has not yet fully grown.

As for why first-year Nan Lie was able to become Osaka's top scorer, there is naturally a reason.

In addition to the fact that the Osaka region is far less competitive than Kanagawa Prefecture, it is also closely related to the Toaoada team's offensive system.

In every game, the Touou team can almost score more than 100 points. The run-and-gun tactics provide Nan Lie with a large number of scoring opportunities, allowing him to fully utilize his scoring ability.

Soon, Itachi Yasuda had to pass the ball to Nan Lie again.

This time, Nan Lie held the ball with both hands, in a three-threat posture.

Murasaki did not get close to him, but kept a distance from him.

The duel between the two was full of suspense, making the audience hold their breath.

In the back row of the audience, two young men were chatting. They were Rukawa Kaede and Sawakita Eiji.

After learning that Xiangbei had made it into the top 16 in the country, the two of them made a special trip here.

While cheering for Murasakibara and others, he also observed the high school level basketball masters.

As for Xiandao, he did not come.

Basketball is just one of Sendoh's hobbies. His biggest hobby is fishing. Instead of traveling thousands of miles to Kyoto to watch an insignificant game, he might as well squeeze out time to go fishing.

Not to mention watching the game, Sendoh doesn't even take training seriously.

Zebei: Sendo, you are still fishing instead of going to training?
Sendoh: Why do geniuses need to be trained? I am not a fake genius like Rukawa!
Zebei: What you said makes a lot of sense!

Rukawa Kaede: ? ? When you talk, can you please consider the feelings of others?

Looking at Mugure on the court, Rukawa muttered to himself: "Mugure-senpai's defense has become stronger again!"

"During this period, Senior Muguro has been fighting us one-on-one every day. It's normal for him to make progress."

Zebei muttered, and then continued: "Compared to the defensive end, Mu Mu Senior has made greater progress on the offensive end. His progress is too fast."

Thinking of Murasakibara's crossover step and pull-up jump shot skills, Zebei wanted to drool with envy.

When will his two skills reach such a level?

"Kitazawa, no, Zebei, do you think Toyotama No. 12 can score this time?"

Rukawa seemed to be influenced by Sendoh and turned Zebei's name around.

Zebei held his chin and began to analyze seriously: "The probability is not high. The characteristics of Toyotama No. 12 are very similar to those of Mitsui Senior, and even weaker."

Mu Mu and Mitsui are teammates, and they know each other well. He is very familiar with Mitsui's style, especially since Nan Lie is not as good as Mitsui.

No matter how you look at it, it is difficult for Nan Lie to score against Mu Mu.

This is indeed the case. Even though Nan Lie tried his best to break through Murasakibara's defense, his speed was still far behind Murasakibara.

Every acceleration and change of direction of Nan Lie seemed to be expected by Murasakibara. Under Murasakibara's sticky defense, Nan Lie had a very uncomfortable time.

However, Nan Lie did not give up. He resolutely changed direction and tried to get rid of Mu Mu's entanglement.

Murasaki pretended to be dizzy and seemed to be broken through by Nan Lie, but in fact he was following quietly behind him, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Nan Lie quickly broke into the basket, trying to score a layup.

"careful!"

Suddenly, exclamations from teammates were heard from behind.

Murasakibara took a quick step, jumped high, and blocked the shot.

This block was similar to the one where Zebei blocked Rukawa Kaede in the plot, it was clean and neat, and it made Nan Lie lose his temper.

Nan Lie fell to the ground in embarrassment, staring at Mu Mu in a daze, obviously shocked.

He had three consecutive singles, but none of them was successful. Instead, he contributed 2 steals and 1 block to Murasakibara, and his confidence was almost destroyed.

Nan Lie's self-confidence suffered a serious blow. He began to doubt his own abilities and lamented that the scoring king of Kanagawa was so terrifying!
Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of bounds, Yuho Ikeda flew to save the ball and successfully passed the ball to Mitsui, but he himself fell to the floor.

Without hesitation, Mitsui rushed down with the ball.

Matsushita Kura quickly entangled him and tried to delay his fast break.

Mitsui rushed left and right and quickly crossed half court.

Yuho Ikeda quickly stood up from the floor and joined the fast break.

"Nan Lie, retreat quickly!"

Suddenly, Coach Kitano's voice of disappointment was heard.

At this time, Mu Mu was about to go down.

Because of Nan Lie, there was a five-on-four situation in the frontcourt.

After coming to his senses, Nan Lie rushed back to defend, but it was too late.

Shohoku used quick passes, and Toyotama, who was one man down, was exhausted. Finally, Mitsui was left in an open position and shot after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line in the corner.

shuh~
The basketball hit the net.

This goal not only won points for Shohoku, but also dealt a heavy blow to Touou.

11:4
Shohoku is in front and Touou is behind.

Thanks to Nan Lie, Xiangbei took the advantage on the court.
