Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 142: Burn Your Boats and Advance Without Retreating
In Sanno Industrial's attack, this time, Kashima Kaede broke through Yamamoto Kuma again and made a quick stop and jump shot, but missed.

The basketball spun around the rim and eventually slid out.

This scene made many supporters of Sanno Industries sigh.

Although his physical strength was close to the limit, Akagi still did not give up any opportunity to fight for the ball.

He exerted his remaining strength and, with his excellent positioning ability, trapped Andachi behind him and successfully grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Xiangbei team did not launch a fast break, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Now the team faces not only challenges from opponents, but also huge physical tests.

Yesterday's tough battle with Aiwa Academy and the weak lineup depth have made physical crisis the biggest enemy of the Xiangbei team at present.

Sweat soaked the jerseys of the Xiangbei players. They were breathing rapidly and their steps were heavy, but their eyes still sparkled with an unyielding light.

Despite numerous difficulties, the Xiangbei players did not give up. Everyone gritted their teeth, squeezed their physical potential, and persevered.

At this moment, the people of Xiangbei, holding on to the belief of burning their boats and not retreating, fought with Sannoh with a life-threatening attitude.

Murasakibara slowly carried the ball across half court and passed it to Mitsui again.

Although Ichinokura Satoshi is very clingy, his physical fitness is destined to make it difficult to limit Mitsui's performance.

In the plot year, although Ichinokura Satoshi consumed Mitsui's physical strength, it did not change the fact that he was beaten to death by Mitsui.

Not to mention it now, Mitsui, who has not suffered a serious injury, has obviously better athletic ability and is definitely stronger than in the plot year.

Ichinokura Satoshi has great fighting spirit, but his physical defects are too severe.

Mitsui is taller, heavier and faster than him, so what can limit him?

After receiving the ball, Ichinokura Satoshi did not dare to let Mitsui shoot the three-pointer and had to choose close defense.

However, Mitsui's breakthrough skills went a step further. With just a simple feint and change of direction, he easily passed Ichinokura Satoshi.

Compared with a month ago, Mitsui's strength has improved significantly, especially in terms of breakthroughs.

Under Murasakibara's unreserved guidance, Mitsui's breakthrough ability was further improved and reached the top level.

Dealing with Ichinokura Satoshi is naturally a piece of cake.

Not to mention first-year student Ichinokura Satoshi, even if he’s in the third year, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The moment Ichinokura Satoshi was passed, Ito Yu realized that the situation was not good and immediately rushed towards Mitsui to try to make up for the defense.

Before Ito Yu arrived, Mitsui chose to pull up and shoot.

shuh~
The basketball was like a meteor across the sky, accurately penetrating the basket and creating a touch of flowers on the net.

Mitsui's pull-up jump shot was also taught by Murasakibara, and his sense of rhythm is obviously better.

After this goal, the situation of the game changed subtly.

Before Mitsui scored, Sanno Industrial's lead once reached double digits, which was undoubtedly a huge pressure for the Shohoku team.

With Mitsui's shot, the Xiangbei team successfully narrowed the score difference to single digits.

This successful pursuit of points boosted the morale of the Xiangbei team because they saw hope for a comeback.

beep~
At this time, Sanno Industries applied for a replacement.

"Sakurai, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Kentaro Sakurai removed the towel covering his head and stood up.

"Once you're on the field, you must stay calm!"

Before going on the court, Coach Domoto gave a special reminder.

"understood!"

Sakurai Kentaro said this, but he felt very annoyed in his heart.

As a manic patient, he felt good about himself and his emotions were so high that he could hardly control them.

However, this heightened emotion is often accompanied by an irritable quality, making them extremely sensitive to the people and things around them.

Kentaro Sakurai was still upset about being substituted by Coach Domoto, and felt that Coach Domoto looked down on him.

Yes, his train of thought is so unique.

As soon as he was substituted in, Kentaro Sakurai immediately leaned on Akagi and reached out for the ball.

Fukatsu hesitated for a moment, but finally passed the ball.

Surprisingly, Kentaro Sakurai, who was in fourth place, did not hold back and continued to move forward with abandon.

bang~
After knocking Akagi back, Kentaro Sakurai turned around and rushed into the basket and slammed it down.

After landing, Kentaro Sakurai came in front of Murasakibara.

"Little guy, you're in big trouble!"

Murasakibara spread his hands, too lazy to pay attention to Kentaro Sakurai.

He tried to irritate the other party with such behavior and was even ready to lie down.

If Kentaro Sakurai commits another technical foul, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the Shohoku team.

Sure enough, Kentaro Sakurai became furious.

However, after noticing the referee's warning gaze, he immediately came to his senses.

"That damned brat must be taught a lesson he will never forget!"

Kentaro Sakurai was furious and planned how to take revenge on Murasakibara.

The pace of the game became increasingly intense, and each of Mitsui's breaths seemed heavy and rapid, with his lungs feeling hot.

Despite this, his indomitable will allowed him to continue to persevere, and his performance on the court remained dazzling.

Seeing that Mitsui was in good shape, Murasakibara passed the ball again.

Mitsui took a quick step forward, preparing to break through with the ball.

Ichinokura Satoshi did not suspect anything and tried to block his breakthrough route.

At this moment, Mitsui took a step back, his movements coordinated and rhythmic, and appeared outside the three-point line.

Ichinokura Satoshi felt something was wrong, but his center of gravity had not yet stabilized, so it was too late.

shuh~
Mitsui made a three-pointer, the basketball drew a beautiful arc and went through the basket again.

This three-pointer also allowed Mitsui's personal score to exceed 20 points.

Despite the huge physical exertion, Mitsui can always find his own rhythm at the critical moment and teach the opponent a lesson with precise shots.

Mitsui's shot selection, timing and control of the game rhythm gave Ichinokura Satoshi a headache.

No matter how hard he tried, he was always a step behind. One step behind led to another step behind, which naturally made it impossible to limit Mitsui's performance, further tilting the balance of the game.

beep~
Seeing that Ichinokura So was not effective, Coach Domoto replaced him with Matsumoto Minoru.

Before Matsumoto Minoru came on the field, the linesman specifically checked his nose and only allowed Matsumoto Minoru to come on after making sure the bleeding had stopped.

However, Matsumoto Minoru, who had just come on stage, frowned and felt a little dizzy.

In addition to some dizziness, there was even a slight confusion of consciousness.

Matsumoto Minoru didn't think much about it and subconsciously thought it was because of the heavy nosebleeds.

Soon, Kashima Kaede broke through Yamamoto Kuma again and rushed straight to the basket.

Akagi immediately made up for the defense, and Kashima Kaede jumped and shot towards Akagi.

Just when Akagi subconsciously wanted to block the shot, suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, just like Maki Shinichi predicted that Sendoh would commit a foul, and he forcibly stopped the urge to block the shot.

Seeing this, Kashima Fengshimo had no choice but to throw the basketball in her hand and scored two points again.

After landing, Kashima Fengshimo looked at Akagi in surprise.

This big, stupid guy who looks like a gorilla seems to be quite smart.

Akagi: I am an honor student, majoring in physics!
Guan Yu can read the Spring and Autumn Annals, so gorillas can’t learn physics?
There is no such truth!
Offense and defense transition!

Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court. If you looked closely, you would notice that his breathing had become slightly calmer.

In the intervals between Akagi and Mitsui's singles matches, Murasakibara got some breathing time.

In addition, Shenjin mainly focuses on organization and rarely attacks with the ball.

Muguro would like to call it deep and unconquerable!
It is no wonder that in the plot, facing Miyagi who was much shorter than him, Fukatsu only got 5 points.

After delaying for a while, Murasakibara passed the ball to Mitsui again.

Compared with Ichinokura Satoshi, Matsumoto Minoru is taller and stronger, and his physical fitness is not inferior to Mitsui.

It’s just that Matsumoto Minoru is relatively biased in his studies, and is a typical example of a player who is strong in offense but weak in defense.

Most importantly, in Sanno Industrial's last attack, Mugure discovered that Matsumoto Minoru seemed to be out of shape.

Mitsui received the ball with both hands and took a triple threat stance.

Matsumoto Minoru subconsciously lowered his center of gravity and tried to concentrate, but the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness came again, and even afterimages appeared in front of his eyes, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Mitsui noticed something unusual about Matsumoto Minoru and immediately had an idea.

Without hesitation, Mitsui bent his knees, raised his hands, and made a shooting gesture.

Matsumoto Minoru's heart tightened and he pounced on him subconsciously.

If it was the normal Matsumoto Minoru, he might not be so reckless, but he is obviously not in good shape now.

When Matsumoto Minoru jumped up, Mitsui took the initiative to meet him.

slap~
Matsumoto Minoru hit Mitsui's ball-guarding hand with his right hand.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded.

After tricking Matsumoto Minoru into committing a foul, Mitsui struggled to maintain his balance and calmly shot the ball out.

At this moment, the audience's eyes were all focused on the flying basketball.

bang~
Mitsui fell to the ground, his hands still in the posture of attacking.

bang~
The basketball hit the rim and bounced high.

Kentaro Sakurai trapped Akagi behind him and was ready to fight for the rebound.

shuh~
Unexpectedly, the basketball fell again and went straight through the basket.

Hua Hua Hua~
The next moment, the stadium was boiling.

“Mi-chan!” “Mi-chan!”

Led by Tokuo Horita and his threesome, the gymnasium was filled with the sounds of Mimi-chan.

"Mitsui, good job!"

Murasaki pulled Mitsui up.

"Huh, huh, we must win!"

Mitsui was breathing heavily and seemed to be on the verge of his limit, but his eyes remained unyielding.

"Matsumoto, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, Fukatsu's anxious voice sounded, and it turned out that Matsumoto Minoru staggered to the ground.

"I feel dizzy!"

Minoru Matsumoto shook his head, but still felt dizzy.

Looking at Matsumoto Minoru, Mu Mu couldn't help but worry about him secretly: "Is this guy suffering from a concussion?"

Coach Domoto had to replace Matsumoto Minoru with a substitute player named Takamasa Itachi.

Gaochang Weasel: 182 cm, 72 kg, second grade.

At the free throw line, Mitsui threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball fell into the basket.

After hitting the free throw, Mitsui completed 3+1.

With Mitsui successfully scoring 4 points, the situation seemed to be reversed by Xiangbei, as the difference between the two sides was only 5 points.

At this time, there were only 5 minutes left until the end of the game.

However, Sanno Industries remains stable.

Outside the three-point line, Kashima Kaede suddenly shot a cold arrow, catching Yamamoto Kuma off guard, and hit a three-pointer, widening the score difference to 8 points.

Soon, Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court and made a fake pass to Mitsui.

Fukatsu subconsciously thought that Murasakibara was going to pass the ball to Mitsui again, and his attention was instantly distracted.

Taking advantage of the moment when Fukatsu was not paying attention, Murasakibara broke through with the ball.

Shen Jin thought it was not good, turned around and tried to chase after him, but he could only smell "car exhaust".

Murasaki strode into the paint area, increasing his speed to the extreme, and jumped towards Kentaro Sakurai.

Both sides jumped up almost at the same time, and Murasakibara pulled up in the air to avoid being blocked.

What was unexpected was that Kentaro Sakurai showed a fierce look on his face and pushed Murasakibara's chest with his hand.

bang~
Murasakibara lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
