Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 165 Naturalized Players
"This name..."

When he heard the name Oki Satoshi, Muguro couldn't help but want to complain.

He subconsciously thought of Professor Oak and Satoshi. When he was a child, he always felt something strange when watching "Pokemon".

The subtle relationship between Professor Oak and Satoshi's mother Hanako is puzzling.

Everyone has seen Xiaozhi's mother, but never his father.

What’s amazing is that every time Hanako appears, Professor Oak is by her side.

Every time Xiaozhi contacts Professor Oak, his mother is at Professor Oak's house.

When Xiaozhi told his mother that he was safe, Professor Oak was also there.

Professor Oak and Hanako often travel, vacation, watch games together, and even sit together when riding in the car.

In short, no matter where he goes, Professor Oak and Hanako are always with him.

In addition, Professor Oak has always taken special care of Satoshi, even better than his own grandson, Shigeki.

While Murasakibara was complaining in his heart, a dark-skinned boy walked out from the Osaka bench.

This guy is darker than Akagi, but three points lighter than the charcoal-like African.

Japanese-African hybrid!

Seeing Oki Satoshi's appearance and skin color, Murasakibara immediately made some guesses.

Japanese-African mixed-race players are not uncommon, and one of them even joined the NBA later, that person being Rui Hachimura.

By the way, Hachimura Rui’s younger brother, Hachimura Aren, is also of Japanese-African descent.

To put it simply, they are all naturalized players!

"But is he really only 15?"

Looking at Oki Satoshi's weathered face, Mu Mu suspected that he was lying about his age.

This guy is just like Akagi, Amaru, and Uozumi. His age cannot be judged by his appearance.

Oki Satoshi: 195 cm, 95 kg, first grade
Coach Kitano watched Oki Satoshi come on the court, and then his eyes turned to Coach Anzai on the opposite side who was still calm and composed.

Satoshi Oki is from Tatemine High School in Osaka Prefecture. At this year's Osaka regional competition, thanks to Oki's outstanding performance, the originally weak Tatemine High School managed to enter the joint competition. This shows the strength of Oki.

The reason why Coach Kitano did not let Oki Satoshi start was mainly because Oki Satoshi was too individualistic, had a bad relationship with other players, and had almost no cooperation.

In addition, like many naturalized players, Oki Satoshi has rough skills and is out of place in the Osaka team.

As soon as he came onto the court, Oki Satoshi immediately stood in the low post and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Jun Tsuchiya frowned, but still passed the ball to Oki Satoshi.

As a teammate, he still has to give him this little face.

bang~
Oki Satoshi caught the ball with both hands and started to back-up Watanabe Masao.

There is no skill in his back-to-the-basket play at all, it's just a head-on collision.

Although it was simple and rough, thanks to his extremely strong physical fitness, Watanabe Masao was still knocked back a step.

In the face of Oki Satoshi's power, Watanabe Masao seemed a little overwhelmed.

Bang~bang~
Oki Satoshi couldn't help but smile excitedly, and pushed Watanabe Masao back uncontrollably.

Masao Watanabe tried his best, but he still couldn't withstand the brute force of Oki Satoshi.

In just two or three breaths, Oki Satoshi pushed Watanabe Masao into the basket and turned around for a two-handed slam dunk.

Watanabe Masao was suppressed by Oki Satoshi and was unable to jump, and could only watch helplessly as Oki Satoshi dunked on him.

"The MVP of the national competition is nothing more than that!"

Oki Satoshi grabbed the basket with both hands and looked down at Watanabe Masao below, his eyes full of contempt.

However, at this moment, Murasakibara found an opportunity.

He quickly came to the baseline and served quickly.

Fujima rushed to the front court with the ball, and the other Kanagawa players also ran away.

How could they miss such a good fast break opportunity?

"Why are you still standing there? Get back on defense!"

Matsushita Kura quickly returned to defense while loudly reminding Oki Satoshi who was still in a daze.

Oki Satoshi finally reacted, but it was too late.

Bang~
In the frontcourt situation of five against four, after some passing, Murasakibara received the basketball, rushed into the basket and made a tomahawk dunk, which drew cheers from the audience.

Kishimoto glared at Oki Satoshi who had arrived late, and asked, "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you return to defense in time?"

"none of your business!"

Ooki Satoshi spread his hands and looked at Kishimoto with contempt.

When the Osaka team was training, the hot-tempered Kishimoto was extremely disgusted with Oki Satoshi's lazy training, and the two even had a conflict.

At that time, if Coach Kitano had not arrived in time, Kishimoto and Minami Lie would have joined forces to teach him a lesson.

Looking at the two people arguing on the court, Coach Kitano was helpless. This is also one of the reasons why Oki Satoshi did not become the starter.

If there was no other choice, Coach Kitano would not want to send him out. After all, this guy is a destabilizing factor.

Soon, Toyotama launched a new round of offensive.

Oki Satoshi stood in the low post and reached for the ball again.

Thanks to the two points scored by Oki Satoshi just now, Tsuchiya Jun passed the ball without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Oki Satoshi once again back-attacked Watanabe Masao, trying to use his strength and weight advantage to knock his opponent back.

bang~
This time, Watanabe Masao obviously lowered his center of gravity, but under the strong back attack from Oki Satoshi, his steps still couldn't stop retreating.

This guy is of African descent, and his strength in confrontation is unprecedented in Watanabe Masao's life.

However, Masao Watanabe also discovered his flaws.

Just when Oki Satoshi was about to exert force again, Watanabe Masao suddenly moved the stool and moved aside.

Because he didn't hold back, Oki Satoshi lost his balance instantly and almost fell to the ground.

slap~
Before Oki Satoshi could gain a firm foothold, Mugure rushed forward with his extreme reaction and stole the ball in one fell swoop. Seeing this, the Kanagawa players immediately realized the opportunity.

They launched another fast break, trying to expand their lead.

Unlike the last time, Oki Satoshi finally returned to defense in time.

This guy has extremely strong explosive power, not inferior to Murasakibara at all.

By the time Murasakibara was about to rush into the paint area, Oki Satoshi had already stood under the basket, almost blocking Murasakibara's layup route.

The next moment, they both jumped up.

Murasakibara cleverly pulled the ball in the air, avoiding Oki Satoshi's block and switching hands to make a layup.

slap~
Ooki Satoshi's right hand slapped Muguro's left arm.

Beep~
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

shuh~
The basketball spun around the rim and then went through the net.

After landing, Murasakibara couldn't help but take a step back to maintain his balance.

"This guy is really strong!"

Murasaki rubbed his arm. Oki Satoshi didn't hold back his strength at all just now.

Wow~
It was only at this point that the audience burst into warm cheers, applauding loudly for Murasakibara's wonderful performance.

While Muguro was looking at Ooki Satoshi, the other party was also looking at him.

"As long as I defeat you, I will be the Rookie King of this session!"

"Wait until you are qualified to do so."

Murasakibara didn't bother to deal with this guy and turned around to defend.

Murasakibara has no good feelings towards naturalized players.

Offense and defense transition!

Soon, Oki Satoshi took the initiative to ask for the ball again.

Seeing this scene, Jun Tsuchiya frowned and chose not to pass the ball.

Osaka is best at run-and-gun tactics, not positional warfare.

If Oki Satoshi is allowed to continue fighting, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Damu, run!"

At Matsushita Kura's signal, Oki Satoshi had to start running.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy was obviously being lazy, because his steps were not much faster than walking.

Seeing that there was no chance, Jun Tsuchiya made a fake breakthrough, broke through Fujima and rushed straight to the basket.

Watanabe Masayasu made timely reinforcements and Tsuchiya Jun flew into the air to meet him.

Without hesitation, Watanabe Masayasu also jumped up, trying to interfere with Tsuchiya Jun's shot.

However, Jun Tsuchiya did not shoot, but passed the ball to the left with a low hand. Kishimoto happened to appear in that position and received the ball and scored a layup.

This is Jun Tsuchiya, a player who was later described by Hikoichi as a "tall and strong commander, whose style is very similar to Sendoh's."

Offense and defense transition!

Soon, Fujima advanced to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Watanabe Masao.

The Kanagawa players quickly dispersed, leaving Watanabe Masao enough space for a singles match.

Masao Watanabe played against Satoshi Oki with his back to the basket. With his realistic fake moves and flexible and changeable steps, Satoshi Oki was successfully fooled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Watanabe Masao turned around, broke through, strode into the basket, and soared into the air.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Watanabe Masao and blocked the shot. It was Oki Satoshi.

"When did this guy..."

Watanabe Masao was very surprised. He had just completely defeated Oki Satoshi, but he didn't expect that the other party could catch up so quickly.

The opponent's physical fitness was beyond his expectations.

"Quick attack!"

While Watanabe Masao was stunned, Osaka immediately launched a quick attack.

As soon as he saw the opportunity for a fast break, Oki Satoshi immediately rushed to the front court as fast as he could.

Masao Watanabe hurriedly turned around to defend, but not only did he fail to shorten the distance, but it became even bigger.

With Fujima entangled, Jun Tsuchiya rushed to the front court with the ball.

At this time, Oki Satoshi rushed past him at a high speed.

The next moment, Jun Tsuchiya casually threw the ball into the basket.

Bang~
With the sound of a loud rim popping, Oki Satoshi made an air relay and scored a slam dunk.

The game on the field is still going on. Thanks to his extremely explosive physical fitness, Oki Satoshi's defense is much better than expected.

Under his strong interference, Watanabe Masao's performance was restricted to a certain extent.

During this process, Mu Mu discovered a strange phenomenon.

Once there is an opportunity for a fast break, Oki Satoshi will run faster than anyone else, just like a gorilla seeing a banana.

Seeing Oki Satoshi's performance, Mu Mu couldn't help but think of an old friend.

The two have one thing in common, and that is their attitude towards fast breaks.

The difference is that Oki Satoshi actively defended, while that guy stood still like a mountain.

How bold!
Although Watanabe Masao was subject to certain restrictions, his performance gradually returned to normal after becoming familiar with Oki Satoshi's style.

Of course, compared with Asakura Tenyu, Oki Satoshi still put a certain amount of pressure on Watanabe Masao, which can be seen from his shooting percentage.

Just when the Kanagawa team was steadily improving, suddenly, an accident happened.
