Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 124 The Flame Man—Hisashi Mitsui!

When leaving the field, Murasakibara suddenly noticed that Ikeda Yuho had a frown on his face, was sweating profusely, and his steps seemed a little unsteady.

Ikeda Yuho seemed to be hiding something, but Murasakibara still noticed something was wrong.

This amount of sweating is obviously abnormal!

After careful observation, Mugure discovered that Ikeda Yuho's left knee joint was obviously bulging, which looked abnormally abrupt.

Murasaki's heart sank, and he immediately recalled the scene where Ikeda Yuho flew to save the ball not long ago.

It was also at that time that Yuho Ikeda's athletic ability declined and he was no longer as flexible as before.

It was originally thought that Yuho Ikeda had encountered a physical crisis, but now it seems to be a knee problem. The soft tissue of his left knee joint is likely to have been damaged and must be treated promptly.

If the left knee joint is affected by external forces such as impact, squeezing, sprain, etc., it may cause capillary rupture, soft tissue damage, etc., resulting in local swelling, bulge, etc.

If not handled promptly, it may have long-term negative impact on Yuho Ikeda's sports career.

Mu Mu hurriedly helped Ikeda Yuho to the bench and asked, "Captain, are you okay?"

Yuho Ikeda touched her swollen left knee joint and couldn't help but gasp, cold sweat breaking out.

However, he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, it's just a soft tissue contusion, I can still play!"

As the team captain, he was unwilling to show his weak side in front of his teammates.

At this time, teammates also discovered Yuho Ikeda's problem.

"Captain, you're quite swollen. This isn't just an ordinary bruise."

"For the sake of your sports career, you'd better get checked out."

"For players, a healthy body is the most important thing!"

……

While the Xiangbei players expressed their concern, they also kept persuading them.

"Really, I can still play!"

However, Yuho Ikeda insisted on continuing the competition.

The reason is very simple. Although he is relatively weak, he is already the most reliable power forward of Xiangbei.

If other players come on the court, the power forward position will be further weakened and will definitely be targeted by opponents.

In addition, this is also Yuho Ikeda's last year.

This is the first time in three years that he has met such good teammates, allowing him to have a fantastic season.

In order to avoid dragging the team down, he has always played very hard. From county competitions to national competitions, this is not the first time he has flown to save the ball.

Seeing that the team has a chance to advance to the national top four, this is a hard-won opportunity, and he doesn't want to miss the victory because of his own reasons.

Now is his most glorious moment. As long as he wins the game, it doesn't matter if his bones are broken or he can't walk.

Seeing Ikeda Yuho being so stubborn, Coach Anzai put down his teacup and advised: "Ikeda, you have to believe in your teammates!"

As a coach, he naturally doesn't want his players to play with injuries.

Shohoku players such as Murasakibara and Mitsui also promised to win the game no matter what.

Soon, under their persuasion, Yuho Ikeda temporarily gave up the idea of ​​playing with an injury.

However, Yuho Ikeda did not receive treatment immediately.

Once the team needs him, he can play with injuries at any time.

After this episode, Murasakibara turned and looked at Mitsui with concern again.

He could clearly hear Mitsui's heavy breathing.

In the first half, Asakura Yu spared no effort to harass Mitsui, which greatly depleted his physical strength.

Not only Mitsui, but all the main players of Shohoku, including Murasakibara and Akagi, felt tired.

This is the aftermath of yesterday's game against Touou, and it is also closely related to Shohoku's physical reserves and lineup depth.

Given Xiangbei's weak lineup depth, once facing a strong team, they can only rely on their main players and hardly get any rest.

This is even worse than in the plot year, after all, in the plot year, Shohoku still had two relatively reliable substitute players, Murasakibara and Yasuda.

Murasaki couldn't help but take a look at the physical attribute progress bar and found that there was still a short distance to break through.

Based on past experience, he might not be able to break through the physical barrier in this game, which made him a little worried.

Soon, the second half began!
Coach Anzai waved his hand and replaced Ikeda Yuho with Sato Ichiro.

In the past two or three months, Ichiro Sato has been trying hard to gain weight, but the effect is not obvious. He has only increased from 73 kg to 75 kg.

What's even more funny is that Ichiro Sato's height has increased by 2 centimeters, reaching 190 centimeters.

This makes one wonder if his two-kilogram weight gain was probably due to his height growth.

It is obvious that Ichiro Sato is the type who can't gain weight.

Looking at Sato Ichiro who was as thin as a bamboo pole, it would be a lie for Murasakibara to say that he was not worried.

However, Ichiro Sato is already the best candidate.

As for the other general of the two generals, Suzuki Ohno, although he has been trying hard to lose weight during this period, he still weighs 95 kilograms and is still slow, making it easy for the opponent to hit him with a fast break.

"However, Sato Ichiro can be trained in the direction of Kamiso Ichiro!"

Mu Mu's heart moved, he thought of A Shen and the future traitor Du.

Ichiro Sato is not without advantages, such as his long wingspan, soft touch, and the agility of a small forward.

However, you won’t know until you try it.

After both sides came on the court, Aiwa Academy immediately noticed the changes in Xiangbei.

As soon as he saw Sato Ichiro, Takeshita Hirogen couldn't help but smile.
Oh no, his mouth is crooked!

As the captain of Aiwa team, he had carefully reviewed the information of Xiangbei and had a certain understanding of Sato Ichiro. He knew that he was an inside player who was weak in confrontation.

Thinking of this, Takeshita Hiroyuki patted Sugiyama Shoyo's shoulder vigorously and said, "Sugiyama, his confrontation is very weak, so you will be the main attacker next time. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Captain, look at my performance!"

Sugiyama Shoyo patted his chest hard, looking as if he was sure of victory.

Although Ichiro Sato is two centimeters taller than him, he weighs 6 kilograms less than him. With his small arms and legs, how can Ichiro Sato be his match?

During the jump ball session in the second half, Hiroyuki Takeshita once again overpowered Akagi and hit the ball towards his own position.

Hattori Teru dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed it to Sugiyama Shoyo.

Without hesitation, Sugiyama Shoyo started the back-to-the-basket mode.

After all, he is Shota Sugiyama's cousin, and his back-to-the-basket skills are obviously well-developed, which is the main reason why he was able to suppress Yuho Ikeda in the first half.

In terms of weight and strength, Ichiro Sato is inferior to Yuho Ikeda, not to mention Shoyo Sugiyama.

bang~
Sato Ichiro tried his best to resist, even lowering his center of gravity, but his feet still couldn't stop moving backwards. Bang~
Sugiyama Shoyo easily pushed away Sato Ichiro, turned around and broke into the paint area, scoring a layup.

For the first time, he realized how easy it was to score!
Ichiro Sato's defense is like a woman's membrane, it breaks at the first poke.

Offense and defense transition!

As soon as Murasakibara crossed half court with the ball, Dai Moroboshi immediately came up to him.

Ever since being given some chicken soup by the coach, Dai Moroboshi has started to focus his energy on the defensive end.

Murasakibara dribbled the ball between his legs continuously and then made a crossover step to easily complete the breakthrough.

Compared with Zebei, Zhu Xingdai's defense is much inferior, and is only slightly stronger than the current Rukawa Kaede.

However, at this moment, Hiroyuki Takeshita and Shoyo Sugiyama double-teamed him without hesitation.

Among them, Hiroyuki Takeshita also focused some of his attention on Akagi. With his speed, if Akagi received the pass, he would have a chance to interfere.

If we count Dai Moroboshi who was chasing behind, there were three people in total double-teaming Murasakibara.

At this moment, he almost enjoyed the treatment of Shinichi Maki in the plot!
Although Murasaki's organizational skills and confrontation are not as good as Maki Shinichi's, his ball handling and reaction are better.

Before the three people surrounded him, Murasakibara faked a shot and successfully passed the ball through Sugiyama Shoyo's small gate.

Sugiyama Shoyo was speechless. This was the second time the basketball had visited his goal.

Not far away, Ichiro Sato subconsciously caught the basketball and was visibly stunned.

"Take action!"

Murasaki's anxious voice was heard, and after reacting, Sato Ichiro jumped up and shot in a panic.

shuh~
The next moment, the sound of friction between the basketball and the net was heard. Unfortunately, the basketball just brushed the net and flew out of the baseline.

Ichiro Sato almost missed all three shots.

Seeing this scene, Murasakibara didn't know what to say.

It's useless to give you the opportunity!

The game was still going on. After Sato Ichiro almost missed all three shots, Aiwa Academy became more determined to double-team the player and even adopted the BOX-1 tactic.

The box-1 tactic refers to using one person to closely monitor the opponent's shooter or other key targets, while the other four people perform zone defense.

In the following time, Murasakibara was obviously targeted and it was difficult for him to get easy scoring opportunities.

Unfortunately, his touch was not very good, and he could only break into the basket again and again to cause damage, which caused him to quickly lose his physical strength.

As his physical strength was lost, Murasakibara gradually felt overwhelmed.

On the other side, Mitsui was also under tight surveillance, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

As for Asakura Yu who was defending Mitsui, he was also exhausted.

Under targeted defense, Mitsui's efficiency was also not high.

Compared with the inefficient Shohoku, Aiwa Academy's main player, Sugiyama Shoyo, has a significantly higher scoring efficiency.

Under such circumstances, Aiwa College's score advantage became more and more obvious.

With five minutes left in the game, Aiwa Academy had already gained a 5-point lead.

In the audience, Coach Domoto couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid Xiangbei is going to lose!"

Coach Domoto would rather the next opponent be the Shohoku team rather than Aiwa Academy.

Because even if Xiangbei wins the game, it will be a spent force.

"Pity!"

On the side, Kaede Frost of Kashima couldn't help feeling regretful.

His mind is relatively pure, he only wants to compete with Murasakibara, but it seems he has no chance.

On the court, Murasakibara was breathing heavily and was not in a very good condition.

Not far away, Mitsui's physical strength was approaching its limit.

During the break in the game, Mitsui supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, looking exhausted.

However, he still took heavy steps and continued to run.

Suddenly, Mitsui used the cover of his teammates to throw Asakura Yu behind him.

Murasakibara passed the ball again and Mitsui caught it and shot.

At this moment, Asakura Yu rushed up, jumped up and knocked Mitsui to the ground.

He would rather commit a foul than concede another three-pointer to Mitsui.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded.

However, Mitsui did not stand up from the ground.

Seeing this, the referee immediately stopped the game!

"Mitsui!"

"Mitsui!"

……

At the first moment, all the Xiangbei players, including the substitutes, gathered around, their voices filled with anxiety.

Mitsui lay motionless on the floor, his eyes slightly open, still conscious.

"Mi-chan!"

Mitsui seemed to hear something vaguely and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

He seemed to see the scene where Tokuo Horita and his two companions were standing in the stands, waving the flag of the Flame Man vigorously and cheering for him loudly.

Mitsui murmured to himself: "Horita, you guys are here too!"

"Phew, looks like I won!"

At the same time, Asakura Ha looked excited because Mitsui only scored 19 points.

Judging from Mitsui's condition, he may not be able to continue to participate in the competition.

"Oh, I remember now. Only in this situation can I burn!"

Hearing Asakura Yu's slightly arrogant voice, Mitsui recalled the scene of the final of the junior high school county competition.

At the same time, Coach Anxi's words came to his mind.

"Don't give up hope until the last moment. Once you give up, the game is over!"

The next moment, Mitsui tried his best to support his body and stood up from the ground.
