Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 181 Winter Trials Match Schedule
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was early December.

This day is also the day when the winter trials match schedule is announced.

Looking at the match schedule in Yuho Ikeda's hand, the Xiangbei players immediately gathered around, all wanting to witness the match situation for the first time.

"The winter trials match schedule is finally out!"

"I don't know which group we are assigned to!"

"We are among the top four in the national competition. Buri, the biggest threat to us, doesn't have to compete with us. We have great hope of winning this time."

"However, we cannot underestimate Hainan High School and Xiangyang. Their strength is not inferior to ours."

……

There was a constant stream of discussion, and the entire basketball hall was filled with energy and enthusiasm.

Everyone's heart is filled with tension, anticipation, and longing for the future.

As we all know, in basketball games, a good grouping situation can effectively increase the team's winning rate.

The Xiangbei players naturally hope to be assigned to a group with relatively less competition so that they can better preserve their strength and prepare for the upcoming finals.

Soon, Yuho Ikeda posted the battle schedule on the wall.

Unlike the county competition, the winter trials are divided into two groups.

Each group has a seeded team, which is mainly linked to the results of last year's winter qualifiers.

Among them, Hainan High School is the seeded team in the first group, and Xiangyang is the seeded team in the second group.

As a seeded team, they have automatic qualification to the semi-finals.

If Xiangbei wants to become the champion of the winter selection tournament, it must face Shoyo and Hainan High School.

Therefore, no matter which group the Xiangbei team is in, it is almost the same.

For Shoyo and Hainan High School, they naturally hope that Shohoku will be placed in the opposing group, so that they can be at ease and only need to face the winner of the opposing group.

Muguro took a look and found that Shohoku was placed in the second group.

In addition to the seeded team Shoyo, there are also Ryonan and Minowa, two teams that are perennially in the top eight.

Judging from the battle situation, if Shohoku wants to challenge Shoyo, it must defeat Ryonan and Minowa.

"There are still three days left, which should be enough time to upgrade Death Coil to Level 4."

After looking at the battle table, Murasakibara took another look at his personal panel.

Nearly a month has passed since the last fish banquet, and Murasakibara has made considerable progress.

Not long ago, the learning progress of Death Coil was finally completed and it became Murasakibara's first defensive skill.

To see how powerful the Death Coil is, just look at Gary Payton and Kawhi Leonard, both of whom are future best defensive players.

Status: Excellent
Evaluation: University Super Giant

After nearly a month of hard training, Murasakibara's evaluation finally improved, from the core of a strong team to a high school superstar.

To put it simply, Murasakibara was a superstar in high school.

As a special skill, Death Coil promotion can not only boost single defense, steals and strength attributes, but can even increase wingspan.

When Death Coil was upgraded to Level 2, Murasaki's arm span increased by another centimeter.

Both of them increase the wingspan, but the fingertip lob increases the length of the palm, while the death coil increases the length of the arm. There is a certain difference. If Milan Blacksmith were to choose, he would prefer to increase the length of his arms!

In addition, Xikemabu was promoted to LV7, and Murasaki's height and arm span increased by 1 cm again.

Driven by special skills, Murasakibara's static talent has been improved to a certain extent.

His height grew to 184 cm, and his arm span reached 199 cm, which was 15 cm more than his height.

Of course, the biggest gain is the cross step to advance to LV9.

This is also Murasakibara's first LV9 skill.

If the effect of LV8 Cross Step is to simplify the complex, then the effect of LV9 Cross Step is to see the big picture from the details.

To see the big from the small: to infer the development trend of things and understand the essence of the problem from their signs.

To put it simply, when performing the cross step, Murasakibara can better infer the opponent's next move from some details.

Such an effect is enough to further improve the breakthrough efficiency of the crossover step.

"The area under the backboard is my world!"

At this time, Sakuragi's voice suddenly sounded.

When Murasakibara turned around, he saw that Mito Yohei was practicing mid-range shots, while Sakuragi was competing with Rukawa for rebounds.

At this time, Sakuragi overpowered Rukawa and grabbed a rebound.

Since being defeated by Rukawa, Sakuragi has started to pester Murasakibara again, hoping that Murasakibara can teach him new breakthrough techniques.

However, Muguro rejected Sakuragi's request on the grounds that his foundation was unstable.

Sakuragi's dribbling is very good, but his connection with the ball is much worse.

He will only teach Sakuragi the breakthrough technique when his combination with the ball is further improved.

However, Murasakibara knew Sakuragi's personality very well, so he asked Akagi to teach Sakuragi how to fight for rebounds.

Sakuragi was inspired by Akagi's words "rebounds are everything" and devoted himself to rebounding training.

He seems to be born for rebounding. In a very short period of time, his progress can be described as visible to the naked eye.

In order to further stimulate Sakuragi's potential, Mugure arranged for Rukawa and Sakuragi to compete for rebounds together.

Sakuragi has always aimed to surpass Rukawa. Training with Rukawa can help Sakuragi improve his rebounding skills more quickly.

At the beginning, Rukawa was able to rely on his experience to keep Sakuragi firmly behind him and grab the rebound.

After a period of time, Sakuragi's positioning skills made a qualitative leap and he began to suppress Rukawa.

This in turn stimulated Rukawa's competitive spirit, so the two began to compete with each other, focusing all their energy on grabbing rebounds.

As for Mito Yohei, he was simply used by Sakuragi as a soldier.

However, as time goes by, Mito Yohei's mid-range shooting has improved significantly and is almost approaching the level of Sato Ichiro.

Soon, Murasakibara withdrew his gaze and waved to Nobuhiko Okamoto.

Nobuhiko Okamoto smiled bitterly, but still had to train with Murasakibara.

Okamoto attacks, Kogure defends.

With the help of Nobuhiko Okamoto, Murasaki's proficiency in Death Coil is increasing rapidly.
