Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 140 It’s not me that’s wrong, it’s the world!

In the 7th minute of the second half, the Xiangbei team launched another attack.

Murasakibara changed direction in front of his body and took a cross step. His change of rhythm easily moved Fukatsu's center of gravity, making it even more difficult to predict his next move.

In an instant, Murasakibara was like a sharp knife, easily tearing through Fukatsu's defense and rushing straight to the basket.

His speed and explosive power were so strong that it was almost impossible for Fukatsu to keep up.

When being broken through by Murasakibara, Fukatsu seemed to have an illusion.

It seemed like every time I was just a little bit away, just a little bit away from being able to defend against Murasakibara.

However, illusions are illusions after all, and Fukatsu still has a long way to go if he wants to defend against Murasakibara.

Of course, Murasakibara will not stand still.

Seeing Murasakibara rushing towards the basket, Kentaro Sakurai immediately went up to him.

Murasakibara made a feint and prepared to break through with the ball.

Kentaro Sakurai moved sideways, trying to block Murasakibara's breakthrough.

While Kentaro Sakurai was still unstable, Murasakibara jumped towards him.

Without waiting for his body to stabilize, Kentaro Sakurai jumped in an unconventional posture, trying to block Murasakibara's shot.

bang~
The two collided in mid-air. Murasakibara tried his best to maintain his balance and threw the basketball in his hand.

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

bang~
Murasaki fell to the ground in a mess, his hands still in the shooting posture, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

shuh~
The basketball hit the net.

"No. 5 of the white team committed a blocking foul, and No. 11 of the red team gets an extra free throw!"

The referee made the decision immediately.

Under Muguruma's careful planning, Kentaro Sakurai committed a foul again.

"Nani!"

Sakurai Kentaro instantly became manic, pointing at himself and shouting, "Wait, how did I commit a foul? It was clearly him who bumped into me..."

His voice was filled with anger and he questioned the referee on the spot.

"Raise your hand!"

The referee's voice was firm and powerful. He was of course aware that Murasakibara was committing a foul, but this was allowed by the rules. He could only blame Kentaro Sakurai for being too stupid.

On the sidelines, Coach Domoto immediately stood up and shouted at Kentaro Sakurai, "Stop talking, Sakurai!"

Coach Domoto tried to stop Kentaro Sakurai, however, he seemed to overestimate his leadership abilities.

Kentaro Sakurai turned a deaf ear to Coach Domoto's words and kept asking the referee, "Why are you saying I committed a foul? Look carefully!"

He looked very excited, his right hand clenched into a fist, spit flying, and he openly questioned the referee's decision.

The referee glanced at Kentaro Sakurai, then crossed one palm with the other to form a T shape and raised it above his head to signal.

"Technical foul for White Team No. 5!"

At this moment, Sakurai Kentaro was shocked, but finally regained some of his sanity.

If this technical foul is included, he has four fouls, and there are still 13 minutes left in the game.

“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest!”

Mu Mu panted and showed a tired smile.

He is so tired!

"Good job, Mumu!"

Akagi and Mitsui smiled, and Sakurai Kentaro's four fouls gave them hope of victory.

Of course, it’s just the dawn!
If nothing unexpected happens, Coach Domoto is likely to replace Kentaro Sakurai.

To take a step back, even if Kentaro Sakurai continues to play, he will most likely be hesitant in the following games in order to avoid being ejected for five fouls.

On the sidelines, Coach Domoto looked helpless, as Kentaro Sakurai's emotional control has always been a problem.

To put it simply, Kentaro Sakurai is even more irritable and angry than Uozumi in the plot years.

If he is not stopped, he may continue to disobey the referee. In order to prevent Sakurai Kentaro from making further mistakes, Coach Domoto did not hesitate to apply for a timeout.

As players from both teams began to leave the field, Coach Domoto's eyes fell on Kentaro Sakurai.

He is well aware of the importance of Kentaro Sakurai to the team, and also knows that his unstable emotions will have a negative impact on the team.

Coach Domoto decided to use this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Kentaro Sakurai, hoping that he would realize his mistakes.

"Sakurai, I know you are unhappy with the referee's decision, but we cannot change it. If you want to become the best center in the country, you must learn to control your emotions, otherwise you will probably make the same mistake again."

"I see!"

Although Kentaro Sakurai said this, he was still full of resentment deep in his heart.

Kentaro Sakurai's emotions fluctuate greatly and he always feels that he is being treated unfairly.

As a result, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

Why should I be wrong and not them?

It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the world!

Kentaro Sakurai is an extremely self-centered player. He rarely considers the feelings or positions of others. In order to stick to his own ideas, he is even willing to sacrifice the interests of the team.

However, he at least understood one thing, which was that he could not do anything extreme towards the referee.

So he transferred all his dissatisfaction and anger to Murasakibara.

If Murasakibara hadn't fouled him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Coach Domoto noticed that Kentaro Sakurai was still emotionally unstable and decided to let him calm down off the court for a while.

"When you're ready, I'll replace you."

Although Sakurai Kentaro was full of resentment, he still replied respectfully: "Yes, coach!"

Coach Domoto smiled with relief, hoping that Kentaro Sakurai could learn to control his emotions from this experience.

Unfortunately, he seemed to overestimate his abilities.

After the timeout, Sanno Industrial replaced Kentaro Sakurai with a backup center named Satoshi Adachi.

Andachi: 193 cm, 87 kg, third grade.

Sanno Industrial's substitute players naturally cannot be measured by common sense.

Although he is only a substitute player, Andachi's strength is enough to serve as the main center in many teams, and he is not much inferior to Akagi.

This is the foundation of Sanno Industry!

However, Kentaro Sakurai's departure was very beneficial to Shohoku and liberated Akagi to a great extent.

After taking two free throws, Murasakibara's score reached 2 points.

After one technical foul and one free throw, the ball still belongs to Xiangbei.

Instead of continuing to play one-on-one, Muguro passed the ball to Akagi who was in the low position.

Without hesitation, Akagi started to play against Andachi with his back to the basket.

bang~
A dull sound of muscles colliding was heard. Andachi held on and did not retreat, but under Akagi's impact, his upper body began to tilt backwards.

Compared with Andachi, Akagi is stronger in confrontation.

bang~
This time, Akagi added a little more strength.

Andachi's upper body obviously leaned back, and before he could recover, Akagi turned around and broke through, rushing straight to the basket.

In this situation, Ichinokura Satoshi, who was chasing Mitsui, immediately changed direction and pounced on Akagi.

Akagi did not stick to the ball. After attracting the defense, he immediately passed the ball to Mitsui.

Outside the 45° three-point line, Mitsui adjusted himself before throwing the basketball in his hand.

shuh~
As the basketball went into the net, Mitsui smiled.

Murasakibara was obviously relieved. The release of Akagi meant that Xiangbei could use the one-star and four-shooter tactic.

Otherwise, if he continues to play like that, he will most likely end up like Rukawa Kaede, unable to hold on for the entire game.

　My grandma suddenly couldn't remember anyone...
