Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 168: I didn’t buy my Air Max 180, but got it as a gift from the merchant!

The next morning, Muguro carried his backpack and went to the gymnasium with his teammates.

The organizing committee naturally provided each team with a bus to the stadium.

Soon, the Kanagawa team stepped onto the bus.

Murasaki was sitting in the second to last row, next to the window.

The back row is by the window, the hometown of the king!
The reason I don’t sit in the last row of the bus is simply because it’s less comfortable.

Just as Murasakibara was about to enjoy the scenery along the way, unexpectedly, Amu sat next to him.

Mitsui, who was sitting behind Amu, couldn't help but frown. He had originally sat with Murasakibara.

However, he did not argue with Amu, and immediately sat in the last row with the Akagi and Watanabe brothers.

Before the bus started, suddenly, Amu pointed at the brand new black sneakers on his feet and said, "Hey, Mumu, I also bought a pair of Air Max 180, they are quite comfortable to wear."

As Amu spoke, he lifted up his sneakers to show off the details of his new sneakers.

When people reach middle age, they cannot avoid the desire to show off.

From all indications, Amu is still very rich. After all, he failed a grade for 15 years and must have quite a bit of savings.

"Oh, that's great!"

Mu Mu smiled slightly. How could he not see Amu's little thoughts?

After praising him, Mu Mu changed the subject and said, "But you are wrong about one thing. I didn't buy my Air Max 180, but got it as a gift from the store."

When Amu heard what Murasaki said, he was obviously stunned.

He was a player of Hainan High School, so naturally he didn't know that Murasakibara had taken over the endorsement of the mustache store manager.

After he realized it, it was as if an invisible big hand slapped Amu's face hard, making him involuntarily touch his right cheek with his hand.

Picture of the crooked-mouthed dragon king covering his face!
The slap in the face came so fast like a tornado!
"Why didn't this pretentious guy tell me earlier that he had accepted a business endorsement?"

Amu looked down at the Air Max 180 that he had carefully selected last night. He felt mixed emotions and suddenly felt that the new sneakers were no longer attractive.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Akagi, who was sitting in the back, clapped his chair excitedly and laughed.

Being so close, he couldn't help but hear the conversation between the two.

Aside, Mitsui tried his best to hold back his laughter, but his shoulders kept twitching.

He is professionally trained and can't help himself.

puff~
In the end, Mitsui couldn't help laughing along with Akagi.

For a moment, the bus was filled with joyful laughter.

Amu felt his cheeks burning hot, and he was so embarrassed that he could even carve out a three-bedroom apartment on the bus.

Fortunately, he had a dark complexion, otherwise his face would have turned very red.

This is the bitter fruit of failing to show off.

At this time, the bus started slowly and the scenery outside the window began to recede rapidly.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Amu began to change the subject and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Mumu, you have improved so quickly, do you have any tricks?"

This question has been brewing in Amu's mind for a long time.

At the county competition, Amu asked himself if the gap in strength between them was not that big, and Murasaki was at most slightly stronger than him.

When it came to the training camp, Amu truly felt how powerful Murasakibara was.

Especially in yesterday's game, Murasakibara's performance on the court made Amu even more astonished.

In such a short period of time, Murasakibara seemed to have been reborn and reached a new height.

Unfair, so unfair!
Not only is he handsome, he also plays basketball so well.

Fujima, Sendoh, Rukawa: Are you talking about me?
At this time, the other players all concentrated and calmed down, and subconsciously pricked up their ears.

They want to know the answer too!

Mu Mu raised his head and chest, and said without hesitation: "I can have the strength I have now, all thanks to my unremitting efforts."

His voice was full of confidence, as if to say that as long as you work hard, nothing is impossible.

However, he temporarily forgot a deeper reason.

He is a cheater!
"So simple?"

For some reason, Amu always feels that Murasaki's progress is not just the result of simple hard work.

Can normal people really progress so fast?

Before Mu Mu could answer, Mitsui said with a hint of disdain: "Tsk, weak is weak, why are there so many excuses, just practice more!"

Although Mitsui's words sound harsh, they do make sense.

Because that’s how he trained, the overalls and green tights, these are all testaments to his hard work!
Upon hearing this, Amu glared at Mitsui. Just now, Mitsui was the one who laughed the happiest, but now he was just about to call him a loser!

How can it be repaired?
Suddenly, Akagi echoed, "Amu, Mugure, Mitsui and I often start training together at five in the morning! Although Mitsui's words are not very nice, his words make sense. I think you should focus more on basketball itself, rather than external things."

"Five in the morning?"

Amu showed a surprised look, he didn't expect them to be so hardworking. No wonder Xiangbei could make it to the top four in the country with a weak lineup.

"Have you ever seen Kanagawa at four in the morning?"

Mitsui folded his hands and started to act cool.

"Kumure started training at four in the morning. What were you doing then?"

These were the words that Mitsui accidentally heard from Murasakibara. At that time, Mitsui felt awe-inspiring and was shocked. His attitude towards training became passionate.

I can only say that invisible imagination is the most deadly!
Have you ever seen Kanagawa at four in the morning? Upon hearing this, everyone present was in awe, and their eyes looking at Mu Mu were full of admiration.

Mitsui and Akagi's words made Amu fall into deep thought.

Maybe I really need to focus more on basketball, maybe I can reach the same level as Murasakibara.

“It seems I need to surf less often in the future!”

In "Ten Days Later", Takehiko Inoue once described the scene of Amu surfing.

Given the difficulty of surfing, it must have taken Amu a lot of time to master it.

"I will never play baseball again, or else I will probably be pulled further and further away from Murasaki!"

Not far away, Fujima's eyes were determined and he made up his mind silently.

In the plot year, during the preparations for the winter trials, Fujima caught the baseball team's baseball at the training ground and returned it with a beautiful S-ball.

It is obvious that Fujima has a background in baseball.

Baseball is the undisputed number one sport in the island country, and its popularity naturally far exceeds that of basketball.

In the 1990s, before the advent of Slam Dunk, basketball was still a niche sport in Asia.

"Should I give up cooking?"

Yuzumi was also thinking about it, but when he thought of his parents' mixed doubles team, he immediately dismissed the idea.

I have to say that Ryonan really operates a one-stop service, the vice-captain fishes and the captain makes the fish.

Seeing Amu, Fujima and others make up their minds, the Watanabe brothers looked at each other, and Watanabe Masayasu said helplessly: "These guys, how come they all become cabbages!"

Rolls and vegetables!

Watanabe Masayasu was Versailles as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, he is one of the five best players in the country.

Watanabe Masao knew what his brother was planning, so he put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Masayasu, it looks like we have to work hard too!"

In fact, the two brothers are equally talented and each has their own strengths and weaknesses, but Watanabe Masayasu is not as serious about training as his brother, which is why his strength is not as good as his brother.

"Brother, I know!"

Watanabe Masao sighed lightly. He really didn't want to be a cabbage.

"But why are you wrapping your hands with medical tape?"

Watanabe Masayasu looked at his brother in confusion.

At this time, Watanabe Masao was wrapping his entire right hand with medical tape, looking seriously injured.

"This is called setting up a maze to show the enemy that you are weak. Do you understand?"

After treatment, although Watanabe Masao's right index finger is still unable to bend freely, the swelling is almost gone, and at least it will not be affected too much.

"Sure enough, you guys who play tactics have dirty hearts!"

Watanabe Masayasu couldn't help but complain.

In the Buri team, Masao Watanabe often discusses team tactics with the coach and is almost qualified to be an assistant coach.

"My stupid Ou Duoduo, how can you say that about your own brother!"

Masao Watanabe looked at his mentally retarded brother with caring eyes and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Suddenly, Coach Anxi's gentle voice broke the noise on the bus: "Ikeda, pass out these atlases."

Ikeda Yuho responded quickly: "Yes, coach!"

He immediately picked up a stack of atlases and handed them to every player present.

This atlas is thin, but very rich in content, including detailed information about the Akita team.

These materials are the essence collected and summarized by Coach Anxi through various channels.

After Yuho Ikeda returned to his seat, Coach Anzai began to explain the Akita team in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"The Akita team is under the full management of Sanno Industries, which is actually just a name change. Now, I want to focus on analyzing a few key players, who are also the most important components of the Akita team..."

Coach Anzai's voice was full of seriousness as he began to explain in detail the players of the Akita team, including their technical characteristics, personalities, and existing shortcomings.

Among them, he emphasized the strength of Kashima Kaede Frost, and then turned his attention to Murasakibara.

"Kumure, Kashima is left to you!"

In the national competition, Murasakibara and Kaede Shimokawa faced off against each other and were not at a disadvantage.

During this period, Coach Anzai has noticed the progress of Murasakibara and he believes that Murasakibara is no worse than Kashima Kaede.

Of course, compared with Zebei in the plot year, he is still a little inferior.

"understand!"

Murasakibara was not surprised. To put it bluntly, among the players present, he was the only one who could compete with Kashima Kaede.

Coach Anzai nodded with satisfaction and began to talk about Sanno Industrial's killer move - pressing defense.

For other teams, how to break through the Akita team's tight defense is undoubtedly a big problem.

However, it doesn't seem that difficult for the Kanagawa team to deal with.

The Kanagawa team has the 'four major point guards' - Kogure, Amaru, Fujima and Kusanagi Shibune. They all have excellent passing and control skills and can effectively respond when facing tight defense.

In addition, the Kanagawa team has a considerable advantage in lineup.

The main lineup is not only not inferior to Sanno Industrial, but even better. The substitute lineup is also very strong and can be flexibly rotated according to needs during the game to maintain the team's vitality and competitiveness.

The depth of the Kanagawa team's lineup allows them to maintain tactical flexibility and adaptability when facing any opponent, thus gaining an advantageous position in the game.
