Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 136 Dunking over a -meter Giant
ugly!
This was Murasaki's first impression of him!

He was about 170 cm tall, and the most impressive thing was that he looked a little ugly.

"No wonder his mouth stinks. It turns out to be Itakura. That's not surprising! But why is he here?"

Murasakibara recognized the other person's identity, mainly because Itakura's appearance was so impressive.

Daijiro Itakura can almost lock in the title of the ugliest player in SD.

The key point is that he is not only ugly, but also has a foul mouth. He can be called the king of trash talk in SD.

Despite this, his strength cannot be denied.

He is the future main point guard of Touou. He averaged 25 points per game in the Osaka regional preliminaries. The key is that he is one year younger than Minami Lie and Kishimoto.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Nan Lie and Kishimoto graduate, Itakura Daijiro will most likely become the ace of Touou.

Although Daijiro Itakura's appearance is not flattering, he has explosive physical fitness, excellent skills, and is good at mid-range and long-range shooting.

Among point guards, Daijiro Itakura's strength and height can be described as outstanding, and his speed is not slow either. He can be called a low-profile version of Shinichi Maki.

Unlike Shinichi Maki, Itakura also has good shooting ability.

In the game between Shohoku and Touou, as long as Itakura took a shot, Miyagi had no way to deal with him.

Of course, this has something to do with Miyagi's height, just like now when Murasakibara cums on Yamatoda.

Murasakibara glanced at Itakura Daijiro, had no intention of paying any attention to him, and quickly returned to defense.

Soon, Sanno Industries launched an attack.

Yamato dribbled the ball across half court, his eyes quickly scanning the field, looking for the best time to pass the ball.

Before Murasakibara came up, Yamato was like a mouse meeting a cat and quickly passed the ball to Ito Yu.

Ito Yu is 192 cm tall and weighs 85 kg. He has a sturdy build with obvious muscle lines.

In comparison, his opponent Ichiro Sato is 190 cm tall but weighs only 75 kg, giving him a skinny look.

In terms of confrontational ability, the two are clearly not on the same level.

Ito Yu caught the ball with both hands. He leaned his back against Sato Ichiro and used his strong body as a fulcrum to firmly occupy an advantageous position.

Ichiro Sato thought that Ito Yu was preparing to play a back-to-back game, so he quickly lowered his center of gravity to prepare for the response.

However, Ito Yu only leaned on Sato Ichiro for a moment, and then used his excellent coordination to quickly complete the turn and adjust his shooting posture.

Turn around and jump shot!

Ichiro Sato recognized it immediately; he often saw Murasakibara use this move during training within the Shohoku team.

Ichiro Sato wanted to resist, but under the power of Yu Ito, he couldn't jump up at all. He could only stand on tiptoes as much as possible, stretch out his arms, and try to block Yu Ito's sight.

Although Ito Yu is strong, he is a typical floor-based player, and his jumping height is not much better than a matchbox.

shuh~
Although Ichiro Sato tried his best to defend, he could only watch the basketball go into the basket helplessly.

In the contest with Ito Yu, he was completely at a disadvantage.

Even after the baptism of the summer national competition, Ichiro Sato can only be a starter for a weak team at best.

As for the five starting players of Sanno Industrial, they are at least at the level of the core of a pseudo-strong team.

It seems that Ito Yu does not have a very high status in the team, but if he is placed in teams like Ryonan and Tsukuba, he is a veritable ace.

Sanno Industrial is worthy of being the top university in the country. The ace players of ordinary strong teams can only compete for the starting spots here.

However, compared with the plot year, this first release is inevitably inferior.

This can be seen from the comparison between them.

Kentaro Sakurai＜Okawada

Ito Yu≈Nobe Masahiro
Kaede Shimo of Kashima≈Eiji Sawakita

As for Matsumoto Minoru and Fukatsu Kazunari, they were definitely stronger in the plot years than they are now.

In other words, although this Sanno Industrial team seems very strong, it has not yet entered its heyday.

Offense and defense transition!

Murasakibara was the same as always, dribbling the ball across half court on time.

Although the first half had not yet ended, Murasakibara was already a little out of breath.

He has already scored 25 points, which naturally consumed a lot of physical strength. After all, he is not a physical freak like Sakuragi and Amu.

If he doesn't exercise restraint, he might end up like Rukawa Kaede, unable to play the entire game.

To reiterate, Rukawa's physical fitness is not bad, but his playing style is destined to consume his physical strength quickly.

As soon as Muguro crossed the half-court, Yamato came close again.

In order to better restrict Murasakibara's performance, Yamato began to make some subtle moves.

While the referee's attention was drawn to other players, Yamato reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Murasakibara's waist.

hiss~
Murasakibara took a deep breath, and his eyes towards Yamatoda instantly became kind.

Yamatoda's scalp tingled when Murasakibara stared at him, but he still suppressed his palpitations and tried hard to defend himself.

The next moment, Murasakibara started to play one-on-one with his back to the basket.

He wants to teach Yamatoda an unforgettable lesson!

bang~ bang~ bang~
Murasakibara's movements were smooth and powerful, making Yamato feel a strong impact.

Although Ohkawada is a bit fat, his weight is less than 165 kilograms due to his height of 70 cm. After another powerful collision, Ohkawada's defense was obviously loose.

It was also at this time that Murasakibara completed his turn and delivered a hidden elbow strike to Yamatoda.

Murasakibara chose a very good angle, and the referee couldn't even notice it.

In his previous life, he often watched the Milan blacksmith's elbow highlights.

The little blacksmith of Milan, known as Little Malone.

The next moment, Yamato's chest was hit violently, as if he was hit hard by a heavy hammer.

His expression twisted instantly, he covered his chest in pain, and looked in disbelief.

He originally thought that Murasakibara was a humble gentleman, similar to Grant Hill.

It turns out that Murasakibara didn't wait until the next day to take revenge, which surprised him.

This guy is a ruthless person!

I can’t afford to play this game! ...
Murasakibara completed the breakthrough in an instant, and Yamato was in unbearable pain and had no time to pursue.

However, Murasakibara did not choose to shoot, but instead sped up and rushed straight to the basket.

Kentaro Sakurai realized Murasakibara's intention and quickly adjusted his position, ready to jump at any time.

The next moment, the two of them jumped up almost at the same time.

With his extreme reaction speed, Murasakibara avoided Sakurai Kentaro's block in time, raised his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and dunked it towards the basket with all his strength.

slap~
Kentaro Sakurai's right hand slapped heavily on Murasakibara's raised left hand, making a dull sound.

Bang~
Murasaki almost lost his balance, but relying on his strong core strength, he slammed the ball into the basket through Kentaro Sakurai.

beep~
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle.

This was a wonderful slam dunk, especially since the opponent was Kentaro Sakurai, who was 201 cm tall, which gave an extremely strong visual impact.

This brutal slam dunk undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Xiangbei team.

Hua Hua Hua~
There was silence in the stadium at first, and then the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be cheering for Murasakibara's wonderful performance.

Kentaro Sakurai's face became extremely ugly, his eyes stared at Murasakibara fiercely, and he rushed in front of Murasakibara, almost unable to control his emotions.

If looks could kill, Murasakibara would have been killed by him countless times.

Being dunked on by an opponent who was only 180 cm tall was definitely a huge humiliation for Kentaro Sakurai.

Well, second only to the dunk!
"Sakurai, calm down. If you want to become the best center in the country, you must learn to calm down!"

Kashima Kaedeshimo quickly stepped forward and calmly held Sakurai Kentaro's right hand with both hands to prevent him from doing irrational behavior.

After being teammates for three years, Kashima Kaedeshimo knows Sakurai Kentaro's character very well.

To put it bluntly, Kentaro Sakurai is suspected of suffering from super-male syndrome and his tolerance is far lower than that of normal people.

This is also the main reason why he did not become the No. 1 center in the country!
Ito Yu rushed forward to help, holding Sakurai Kentaro's other arm, and advised: "Senior Sakurai, the coach is watching you, you don't want to be replaced by the coach!"

Call ~
Kentaro Sakurai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down and not be swayed by momentary emotions.

"I understand, you can let go now!"

When they found that Kentaro Sakurai had returned to normal, Kashima Kaede and Ito Yu both breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his arms.

Despite this, Murasakibara's dunk still pierced Kentaro Sakurai's heart like a thorn.

He vowed to get back at the next game and never let such a humiliation happen again.

As Mu Mu walked to the free throw line, Mitsui said, "Kentaro Sakurai has committed a second foul!"

"Well, then knock him out!"

In this era where center is king, one can imagine the importance of Kentaro Sakurai to Sanno Industrial.

To put it bluntly, if Sakurai Kentaro is not defeated, Xiangbei will have no chance of winning.

Kentaro Sakurai is the defensive core of Sanno Industrial, just like Uozumi to Ryonan, and his importance is no less than that of Kaede Shimoki Kashima.

shuh~
At the free throw line, Murasakibara made the free throw and easily completed 2+1, increasing his personal score to 28 points.

beep~
At this time, Sanno Industries requested a pause!

Murasakibara's brutal slam dunk dealt a heavy blow to Sanno Industrial's morale, and Coach Domoto had to call a timeout.

In addition, Coach Domoto also wants to stabilize Kentaro Sakurai.

Coach Domoto is well aware of Kentaro Sakurai's temper. He must keep him steady and prevent him from doing something irrational.

There is no way. Kentaro Sakurai has a long criminal record. Last year, he got into a fight in a game and was directly ejected from the game.

If Kentaro Sakurai wasn't strong enough, Coach Domoto would have wanted to keep him on the bench.

When it was time to leave, Murasakibara came to Itakura Daijiro specifically.

"Is this big enough?"

Itakura Daijiro was speechless. He was dunking against a giant who was over two meters tall. He had never seen such an arrogant guy in his life.

Murasaki: Well, you saw it today!
