Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 119 Zhu Xingda: I’m so angry that I’m shaking!
Soon, the competition officially begins!
In this game, the Xiangbei team sent out the same starting lineup as the previous game.

In order to save Murasakibara's energy, it is still necessary for Nobuhiko Okamoto to play.

In addition to dribbling the ball across half court, Nobuhiko Okamoto can also shoot three-pointers to better open up space.

On the other hand, Aiwa Academy's lineup has changed slightly as they did not send out their main players in the last game.

There was no way, their opponent in the last game was not very strong.

Center: Hiroyuki Takeshita, 196cm, 87kg, rd grade
Power forward: Sugiyama Shoyo, 188cm, 81kg, sophomore
Small forward: Dai Moroboshi, 181cm, 73kg, freshman
Shooting guard: Asakura Yu, 180 cm, 71 kg, third grade
Point guard: Hattori Teru, 172 cm, 70 kg, third grade
Among them, the inside and outside line combination of Hiroyuki Takeshita and Dai Moroboshi has long been famous.

Hirogen Takeshita is the captain and ace, one of the top four centers in the country, and the soul of the team.

Dai Moroboshi is known for his scoring ability and he can always break the deadlock for the team at critical moments.

Sugiyama Shoyo is Sugiyama Shota's cousin and has solid basic skills, but unfortunately he did not inherit Sugiyama Shota's talent.

Asakura Yu is the defensive pioneer of Aiwa Academy. He has excellent defensive skills and can also shoot mid-range shots.

Hattori Teru is a traditional point guard. His physical fitness is average, but he has excellent organizational skills. He can always find open teammates in time and create scoring opportunities for them.

Judging from the starting lineup, Aiwa Academy is not only not inferior to Shohoku, but is even better, not to mention the substitute lineup.

But, basketball is round!

Hua Hua Hua~
When the two teams started to play, the audience cheered one after another, cheering for the teams they supported.

At the referee's signal, players from both sides quickly took their positions. Akagi and Takeshita Hirogen came to the center circle to execute the jump ball.

At this time, Dai Moroboshi appeared in front of Murasakibara.

When he saw Dai Moroboshi, Murasaki couldn't help but think of how he looked when he first appeared.

It was extremely impressive that Dai Moroboshi was carried away on a stretcher during his first appearance.

At this time, Moroboshi said confidently: "Kumure, I am the strongest super rookie in the country!"

"Um, who are you?"

Murasaki tilted his head and looked at Moroboshi Dai with confusion, pretending not to know this person.

"What, you don't know me, how could you not know me!"

Zhu Xingdai showed an expression of disbelief.

"You are not a banknote, why should I know you!"

In order to provoke Dai Moroboshi, Murasaki continued to pretend not to know him.

If Zhu Xing was determined to challenge him in a one-on-one duel, he would inevitably be disconnected from the team, so he was naturally willing to do so.

In a one-on-one fight, Zebei is not his opponent. He has never been afraid of anyone!
Since defeating Zebei, Mu Mu has become like Guan Yu after Lu Bu's death, and everyone he sees is a traitor!

Zhu Xing was furious: "Asshole, you will know each other after this game is over!"

"Then it depends on how much you are capable of!"

Seeing Moroboshi Dai's expression, Murasakibara smiled.

While the two were talking, Akagi looked at Takeshita Hirogen solemnly.

Among the four major centers in the country, Hiroyuki Takeshita is also the only flexible center.

He not only possesses explosive athletic ability and is proficient in various inside skills, but also has a mid-range shot with an offensive range that extends within the three-point line. He is called Shota Koshiyama!
In terms of strength, it is likely that he is above Hua Xing in the plot year.

Soon, the referee threw the ball into the air and the game officially began.

At the moment the basketball fell, Hirogen Takeshita jumped up first and hit the ball towards Hattori Teru.

Hattori Teru dribbled the ball steadily across half court and began to wait for his teammates to get into position.

Soon, Hattori Teru passed the ball to Takeshita Hirogen.

Hiroyuki Takeshita received the ball with his back to the basket and leaned back.

bang~
A dull collision sound was heard, and Akagi's body shook slightly, but he was not knocked back.

After finding that he couldn't make a breakthrough, Hiroyuki Takeshita didn't try again and instead used flexible footwork in the interior.

At the moment when Akagi's center of gravity shifted, Takeshita Hiroyuki quickly turned around, rushed into the basket and scored a slam dunk.

Bang~
Aiwa Academy took the lead and scored the first two points.

Akagi was not discouraged. This was within his expectations. After all, Takeshita Hiroyuki was a player of the same level as Watanabe Masao.

Even after the baptism of the national competition, Akagi is now at best the fourth center level of Kanagawa.

In the attack of the Shohoku team, Nobuhiko Okamoto dribbled the ball across half court, and after passing the ball to Murasakibara, he immediately took Hattori Teru away.

The other Xiangbei players also tried their best to take away their opponents to leave better space for singles for Murasakibara.

Since Akagi's offensive range was limited to the basket, Hiroyuki Takeshita never left the paint area.

Murasakibara held the ball with both hands, his center of gravity slightly lowered, in a three-threat posture.

This is the most threatening stance, meaning he can shoot, pass or drive past his opponent at any time.

Yamaguchi Moroboshi was one step away from Murasakibara, with his knees bent and his center of gravity slightly lowered. He stared at Murasakibara without blinking, trying to see through his every move.

If he wants to become the strongest rookie in the country, he must step on Murasakibara to get to the top.

In the tense confrontation, suddenly, Murasakibara took a tentative step. His steps were extremely fast and he was about to make a breakthrough.

"So fast!"

Moroboshi Dai was secretly amazed that Murasakibara's speed and explosive power were not inferior to his own, and might even be better.

Moroboshi Dai quickly moved sideways, trying to block Murasaki's breakthrough route.

However, Murasakibara's reaction was extremely fast. He used a cross step to quickly change direction and easily broke through Moroboshi's defense.

Moroboshi Dai hurriedly turned around and chased after him. If Murasakibara got enough space, the consequences would be disastrous.

While moving forward quickly, Mu Mu suddenly stopped and then jumped up and threw.

Moroboshi Dai was unable to stop him and could only watch Murasakibara shoot.

shuh~
The basketball went cleanly through the basket.

Hua Hua Hua~
The stadium erupted in warm cheers, applauding Murasakibara's wonderful moment.

"Your defense is useless. Passing you is like crossing the street in the early morning!" Before returning to defense, Murasakibara left these words.

"hateful!"

Zhu Xingda's fist hardened instantly, and he stared at Murasaki's back fiercely.

This piece of trash talk can be regarded as a classic, so it must be of great value.

Offense and defense transition!

As soon as Dai Moroboshi arrived at the frontcourt, Murasakibara came up to him.

"Hattori-senpai, this way!"

Zhu Xingda began to ask for the ball actively. He wanted to save face.

Without hesitation, Hattori Teru immediately passed the ball.

Although Dai Moroboshi is still a freshman, his status in the team is second only to Hirogen Takeshita, which is equivalent to the second-in-command of the team!

However, their actions were too obvious.

As soon as Daisuke Moroboshi received the basketball, Murasakibara took the initiative to confront him and quickly cut towards the basketball with his right hand.

slap~
Moroboshi Dai was caught off guard and was instantly intercepted by Murasakibara.

The basketball rolled to the floor and was grabbed by Mitsui.

Without hesitation, Mitsui grabbed the basketball and launched a fast break.

Asakura Yu followed closely behind and caught up quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Mitsui appeared outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer before Asakura Yu could get close.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

"Mitsui, it seems like you're in good form today!"

Muguro walked up and high-fived Mitsui to celebrate.

"Kumure, I have a feeling that my hands will be terribly hot in this match!"

Mitsui looked at his hands and gave a confident smile.

"I'll pass the ball to you more often!"

Since Mitsui is in hot form, Murasakibara is naturally willing to pass the ball to him.

Aiwa Academy's attack, Hattori Teru once again dribbled the ball across half court.

In this round, Hattori Teru did not pass the ball to Moroboshi Dai, but instead played a pick-and-roll with Takeshita Hirogen.

Hiroyuki Takeshita's offensive range extended throughout the three-point line, forcing Akagi to leave the paint.

Hattori Teru made full use of Takeshita Hirogen's pick-and-roll and started a breakthrough with the ball.

Faced with such a situation, Akagi had no choice but to switch defense and try to stop Hattori Teru's attack.

Hattori Teru did not continue to break through, but quickly passed the ball to Takeshita Hirogen who was cutting into the basket.

After receiving the ball, Hiroyuki Takeshita rushed straight to the basket.

Nobuhiko Okamoto tried his best to stop her, but the height and weight difference was too big, so he couldn't stop her.

Hiroyuki Takeshita calmly pushed away Nobuhiko Okamoto and scored an easy layup.

It was Shohoku's turn to attack, and Murasakibara came to the frontcourt.

Looking at Moroboshi Dai in front of him, Mu Mu shook his head and laughed: "Number 12, it seems that your status in the team is not very high!"

Murasakibara continued to provoke Dai Moroboshi.

Zhu Xingdai pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but from his somewhat vague eyes, it seemed that he was affected.

Taking advantage of the moment when Dai Moroboshi was distracted, Murasakibara quickly started and instantly left Dai Moroboshi behind.

"not good!"

Zhu Xing was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.

Nobuhiko Okamoto immediately passed the ball, and while receiving the ball, Murasakibara made a gesture of worshiping Buddha.

As soon as Moroboshi Dai rushed in front of Murasakibara, he subconsciously stood on tiptoe, but was easily passed by Murasakibara.

At this moment, Asakura Yu and Sugiyama Shoyo rushed towards Mugure together, like a pair of ghosts knocking on the door.

In order to limit Murasakibara, Aiwa Academy naturally made a lot of preparations, and backup defense, assisting defense and even double-teaming were indispensable.

Unfortunately, Murasakibara is not fighting alone.

Just when the two were about to form a siege, Murasakibara quickly captured Mitsui's position and made a ground pass.

The basketball bounced on the floor and then flew toward the three-point line in the bottom corner in an unpredictable trajectory.

The moment he received the basketball, Mitsui felt that the pass was very comfortable and he didn't even need to make any adjustments.

Without hesitation, he jumped up quickly and threw the ball into the basket with a textbook gesture.

"Oops!"

The moment Mitsui jumped, Asakura Yu groaned in his heart and could only try his best to rush towards Mitsui and try to interfere.

Unfortunately, Mitsui's attack speed was too fast and Asakura Yu was still a step slow.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went through the net again.

Mitsui showed a confident smile on his face.

"Don't be too happy too soon. In this game, I will limit your score to less than 20 points."

Asakura Yu said something harsh.

"I'm afraid you can't do it!"

Mitsui shook his head and turned back to defend.
