Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 193 The first champion, the honor belongs to
"as you wish!"

Murasakibara glanced at Takamiya Benyu, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a confident look.

Free throw with eyes closed!

When he was bored, he actually practiced free throws with his eyes closed, mainly to recreate the classic.

In the plot year, in the game between Xiangbei and Touou, Rukawa Kaede made a free throw with his eyes closed.

This free throw with eyes closed was mainly made by Takehiko Inoue to replicate Jordan's classic shot.

When Uncle Mu first entered the NBA, he provoked Jordan on the court.

So, Jordan closed his eyes at the free throw line, made the free throw steadily, and said to Uncle Mu: Welcome to the NBA.

This scene became a classic moment in NBA history.

I have to say here that many NBA players may miss three shots even with their eyes open, let alone with their eyes closed. Typical representatives are Goat and the 'Polish Devil'!
Sometimes, Goat's performance is always full of 'surprises'!
If you say that missing three shots is excusable, after all, even the little blacksmith of Milan missed four shots in a row.

But missing three free throws is too unprofessional.

When the audience learned that Murasakibara was about to take a free throw with his eyes closed, they were all in an uproar and looked at the scene in shock.

No one expected that Murasakibara would make such a bold attempt in such an important competition.

Murasakibara's personal guards shut their mouths and even held their breath, for fear of affecting Murasakibara's performance.

At the free throw line, Murasakibara glanced at the basket, trying to find the feeling of shooting free throws with his eyes closed.

The next moment, Mu Mu closed his eyes silently, leaving no gap.

His body has memorized that feeling, which is called muscle memory.

"How could you possibly score with your eyes closed?"

Takamiya Motoyu began to harass Murasakibara with words, hoping to disrupt Murasakibara's free throw rhythm.

Mu Mu was focused, slowly raised his hands, and shot the free throw without hesitation.

His movements were smooth and natural, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

The next second, the basketball went into the net!

At this moment, the entire audience burst into enthusiastic cheers, all impressed by Murasakibara's performance.

Takamiya Benyu was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, as if his soul had been scared out of him.

He couldn't believe that Murasakibara actually made the shot.

At this moment, he was like a dead tree, and his mentality was completely shattered!
At the same time, Murasakibara broke his single-game scoring record with this free throw with his eyes closed!
He was actually defeated by a player who was two years younger than him, in a crushing manner.

This is just like the story in which Mori Shigehiro defeated Mikoshiba. In that game, Mori Shigehiro also scored 50 points.

The difference is that Mikoshiba's status and strength are not as good as Takamiya Motou's.

As Murasakibara completed the free throw with his eyes closed, the Shohoku team's lead reached a staggering 25 points.

With 7 minutes left in the game, such a big score difference undoubtedly brought great pressure to the players of Hainan High School.

Even though they were the champions of Hainan, their morale was inevitably affected and they saw almost no hope of winning.

Coach Gaotou stood on the sidelines, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.

He couldn't accept that the team was trailing by so many points in such a crucial game, so to vent his emotions, he broke a paper fan again.

This wasn't the first time he lost control of his emotions during this game.

However, as the second-ranked coach of SD, Coach Gaotou responded quickly and asked the referee for a timeout.

This is the last timeout for Hainan High School, and it is also their last hope to turn the situation around.

After the players left the court, Coach Gaotou began to instill in them the message of never giving up, trying to inspire their desire to win.

However, Coach Gaotou talked until his mouth was almost dry, but the effect was not very good.

Among them, Takamiya Motoyu's reaction made Coach Takato frown.

Takamiya Motoyu looked dazed, his eyes revealing confusion. He was still immersed in the shadow of failure, unable to extricate himself.

Coach Takato hopes that Takamiya Motoyu can find himself again and lead the team to a stunning turnaround.

If Hainan High School wants to turn defeat into victory, Takamiya Motoyu is definitely a crucial link.

However, until the break was almost over, Takamiya Motoyu still looked listless.

"Takamiya, cherish the last 7 minutes. You don't want to go to college with such a bad image!"

Coach Gaotou had to take drastic measures.

Hearing the coach's words, Takamiya Motoyu's eyes moved slightly, gradually turning from confusion to concentration.

After the timeout, players from both teams returned to the court.

Takamiya Benyu pulled himself together and tried to cheer up.

However, Murasakibara did not relax his guard against him at all.

“50：6！50：6！50：6！”

In order to further attack Takamiya Motoyu, Mugure kept repeating the scores of the two.

When dealing with your enemies, you must be as cold and ruthless as a harsh winter.

If it were any other player, they could still be opponents on the court and friends off the court, and Murasakibara would not have killed them all.

But it’s different for Takamiya Motoyu, Sakurai Kentaro and Kawata Masashi. One of them trips over someone, one pushes someone in the air, and one kicks someone from behind. Naturally, they have to increase the intensity of the attack.

Takamiya Motoyu was once again affected by Murasakibara's trash talk. His eyes were fierce and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

However, after discovering that Murasakibara was staring at him with kind eyes, Takamiya Motoyu immediately remembered the other party's "great achievements", and his whole body shuddered. The anger in his heart melted like ice and snow, never to return.

Can't beat it, really can't beat it!
He didn't want to become the next person to be beaten by Murasakibara after Kentaro Sakurai and Masashi Kawata.

It's embarrassing enough now. If I lose the fight, I will lose both my dignity and face.

In order to better limit Takamiya Motoyu, Murasakibara did not continue to score and focused his energy on the defensive end, calling it a tribute to the little blacksmith of Milan.

Thus, under Murasakibara's defense, Takamiya Motoyu's resistance didn't even make a splash and he was completely lost on the field.

The more anxious Takamiya Motoyu became, the harder it was for him to make his shots, and even his free throws were affected, as he made only 4 of 1 free throws, including one that missed all three shots, successfully paying tribute to the future Goat!

Mom, I want to go home!
Go to hell with the basketball dream!

Takamiya Motoyu was devastated and his heart was completely broken.

As time passed, the situation on the field became clearer.

Hainan High School tried to fight back, but not only did it fail to suppress Xiangbei, but the gap between the two sides further widened.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

With five minutes left in the game, the players of Hainan High School could no longer hold on, and their forced morale showed signs of collapse.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiangbei widened the gap to 30 points in one fell swoop.

"hateful!"

Coach Gaotou broke the last paper fan, then reluctantly substituted the main players and announced his surrender.

Just when Takamiya Benyu was about to leave the court, Mu Mu added one last shot: "Aso Taro is much better than you, at least he got 8 points, and you only got 7!"

Takamiya Motoyu stared at Murasakibara angrily, but did not dare to do anything, so he had to suppress his anger and leave.

His personal score was finally locked at 7 points, a lower score than Taro Aso!
The two heroes of Kanagawa in this generation are really one more miserable than the other!

Seeing this scene, Taro Aso, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

One's own success may be joyful, but the failure of one's old enemy is even more gratifying.

What's more, with Takamiya Motou attracting firepower, his "eight points release of military power" seemed insignificant.

At this time, Coach Anxi also made a substitution decision and replaced the players with substitutes.

As Murasakibara and others left the field, thunderous cheers instantly erupted in the stadium.

50分10助攻6篮板6抢断3盖帽，这就是木暮本场比赛的数据。哔~
Soon, the long whistle sounded, signaling the end of the game.

"Won!"

"we are the champion!"

After the game, the whole stadium was boiling in an instant, with fans waving flags and cheering for victory.

The Xiangbei players couldn't contain their excitement; they cheered and jumped for joy, their hearts filled with indescribable joy.

This is the taste of victory, the best proof of the players' unremitting efforts and persistence, and the reward for countless days and nights of training.

The victory in this game means that they have won the championship of the winter trials.

This is also the first championship of the Xiangbei team. Although it is only a regional championship with low gold content, it is of great significance to them and is an important milestone in their growth path.

At the same time, they also qualified for the winter competition.

This means they get the chance to compete with strong teams from other regions.

Looking at the laughter and joy on the opposite side, however, all this seemed particularly dazzling in Takamiya Motoyu's eyes.

His opponents were celebrating their victory, but he could only stand aside and silently taste the bitterness of defeat.

Takamiya Benyu stood on the sidelines, getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, as if he was going to swallow him whole.

Finally, he could no longer suppress his inner anger and kicked the trash can beside him as hard as Mitsui.

A dull sound was heard, and the trash can was kicked and shook a few times, and a groove appeared on it, but it did not fall down as he expected.

It turns out that this is a trash can fixed to the ground, which is specially designed to prevent such incidents.

The force is mutual, and although the trash can was not kicked over, Takamiya Motoyu's right foot suffered a serious impact.

He felt a sharp pain rushing from the soles of his feet to his head, so painful that he could hardly stand.

"what!"

Takamiya Benyu held his right foot in pain and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"It's over!"

At this moment, his heart was filled with despair and he was worried that his basketball career might be over.

Because he felt that the sole of his right foot, which had healed with great difficulty, seemed to be broken again!
His heart was filled with regret, wondering why he kicked the trash can to vent his anger.

Now that’s great, the old injury has relapsed and the backlash is coming!

"team leader!"

The players from Hainan High School gathered around, their eyes filled with worry.

Looking at Takamiya Benyu being carried away on a stretcher, Mu Mu couldn't help shaking his head and muttering to himself: "Some people seem to be alive, but they are actually dead."

At this time, Yayoi Aida and her assistant Nakamura came to the Shohoku bench and began the routine interview session.

Her first target is naturally Murasakibara!

She is his fan!

He is also her fan!
"Muro, congratulations on leading your team to win the Winter Trials. Do you have anything to say now?"

"This is not just my achievement, it's not without my teammates... the coach..."

Murasakibara answered humbly again, winning the favor of Yayoi Aida.

Yayoi Aida began to ask the next question: "Can you comment on your opponent, Takamiya Motoyu?"

Mu Mu said seriously: "Reporter Aida, I'm not saying he's bad, but you're disrespecting me by comparing him with me."

He didn't say anything else. If I don't beat him, people will think we are players of the same level!

As Murasakibara stepped over Taro Aso and Motoyu Takamiya, the two heroes of the previous generation of Kanagawa, to rise to the top, his popularity has completely surpassed Masao Watanabe and is catching up with Kazushima Kaede.

He finally got the qualification to challenge the top high school student in the country!

"You're right, I'm sorry!"

Yayoi Aida reacted quickly.

In this game, Murasakibara completely defeated Takamiya Motoyu. The two of them are indeed players of different levels.

"One last question, how many championships do you plan to bring to the Xiangbei team?"

听到这个耳熟的问题，木暮微微愣了一下，随即笑着回答：“不是1个、不是2个、不是3个、不是4个、不是5个、不是6个…”。

What this means is that Murasakibara wants to bring at least 7 championships to the Shohoku team.

In other words, if Murasakibara wants to achieve his goal, he must win most of the upcoming championships, including the summer and winter championships.

Not long after the interview, the top four teams of the winter trials stood in the gymnasium and began the award ceremony.

In all the major statistical awards, Akagi won the rebounding title with a slight advantage over Ikeda Kazuhiro.

The block leader was taken by Kazuhiro Ikeda.

The assist king is Kenji Fujima, averaging only 0.3 more assists per game than Murasakibara.

However, Murasakibara also snatched the steals title from Fujima with a slight advantage.

In addition, Murasakibara also won the scoring title with an absolute advantage.

Soon, the chairman of the organizing committee announced the individual awards.

The Best Newcomer Award still fell into Murasakibara's pocket.

Among all the first-year players, Murasakibara is still the most dazzling one and is recognized as the strongest rookie in Kanagawa's history.

It is not surprising that Murasakibara also won the best defensive player award.

Murasakibara locked down the two giants of Kanagawa of this generation, was the steals king, and also had a lot of rebounds and blocks, so he deserved the title of best defensive player.

Next up is the best lineup, the best five-man group.

The next moment, five people’s portraits appeared on the electronic screen.

They are Kazuhiro Ikeda, Kimiyasu Kogure, Shinichi Maki, Hisashi Mitsui and Kenji Fujima.

I never expected that the four new super stars of Kanagawa would gather together for the best lineup!
If the two heroes of Kanagawa in this generation had not been defeated by Murasakibara, causing their data to shrink seriously, otherwise, with their status and reputation, they would definitely have occupied two seats.

"What a pity, Akagi!"

Murasaki silently felt sorry for Akagi, because the data gap between Akagi and Ikeda Kazuhiro was not that big.

Of course, the most pitiful one is Tsukushige Takeshi, who was also one of the top four, and did not win any award.

Soon, it was the MVP award's turn.

"Mumu, MVP!"

"Mumu, MVP!"

……

At this moment, the audience was shouting Murasakibara's name frantically.

The cheers were so loud that it seemed as if they were about to burst the ceiling.

No other players' names were heard at all.

This is the difference!
"Congratulations to Shohoku player Murasaki for winning the MVP of this year's Kanagawa Winter Trials!"

As soon as the chairman of the organizing committee finished speaking, the voice in the gymnasium rose again.

Murasakibara won the MVP, which was well deserved.

This is the second MVP trophy won by Murasakibara after winning the MVP of the Autumn National Sports Tournament.

Shortly after the awards were presented, the chairman of the organizing committee announced that the winter trials had come to a successful conclusion.

As for the Winter Nationals, it will be held at the end of December.
