Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 223 You have a dirty mind!
First it was Mitsui, then the captain, the two of them raised the team's morale to the extreme.

Even though Xiangbei's main players were on the verge of their limit, the encouragement from the two seemed to inject a new strength into them.

At the same time, they are only one step away from their dreams.

With two and a half minutes left in the game, the difference between Xiangbei and Hakata was only three points.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

Besides, there is always a team that has to win, so why can't it be Xiangbei?
After Yuho Ikeda left the field, coach Anzai replaced him with Nobuhiko Okamoto.

Murasakibara will fill the vacancy left by Yuho Ikeda and play as power forward.

As a result, the Xiangbei lineup is Akagi, Mugure, Yamamoto Kuma, Sato Ichiro and Okamoto Nobuhiko.

This is already the best lineup that Xiangbei can play. As for the other players, their strength is a level weaker.

In a competition of this level, the other Xiangbei players will probably only be a drag.

After the players returned to the game, the substitutes were only able to average a triple-double off the court.

Wave the towel 30 times, high-five your teammates 20 times, and roar 10 times!
After the game resumed, as soon as Kenjiro Itakura crossed the half court with the ball, Nobuhiko Okamoto immediately came up to him.

As a new force, Nobuhiko Okamoto is full of energy.

Kenjiro Itakura was already at his limit and was being tightly entangled by Nobuhiko Okamoto.

If he was in normal condition, Kenjiro Itakura could easily defeat Nobuhiko Okamoto.

However, his strength was severely depleted, his steps became slow, and he could hardly fight anymore.

I have to say that Coach Anzai saw through everything, which is why he let Murasakibara play as power forward.

With Murasakibara marking him, Fujio Maori, who was active in the second half, would also be restricted.

Without a doubt, this is a good move!
Kenjiro Itakura tried, but he was unable to escape due to the entanglement of Nobuhiko Okamoto.

In desperation, he had to continue passing the ball to Nobi Okura.

At this point, the physical strength of both sides was reaching its limit.

However, compared with Xiangbei, the condition of Hakata players is slightly better.

Xiangbei's advantage lies in its fighting spirit, and they have become completely united as one.

However, Hakata ace Suzuki Nobisuke is still not sober and is still working hard to improve his stats in order to win the MVP award.

Not far away, Fujio Mori was trying to block the position with Murasakibara.

Unfortunately, Murasakibara's resistance was no less than his, and even Maori Fujio was at a disadvantage.

"What did this guy eat to grow up? How come he is so strong?!"

Maori Fujio was puzzled. He was taller and heavier than Murasakibara, but Murasakibara's resistance was superior to his.

This is just like Amu. Although Sakuragi and Akagi are heavier than him, Amu never falls into disadvantage.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the boy had to take Murasaki away and give the paint area to Suzuki Nobisuke.

Murasakibara was breathing heavily and following the footsteps of Maori Fujio.

The other players were also trying their best to harass their opponents, and for a while, Bodo had no chance.

In this situation, Nobita Suzuki had to take the initiative to ask for the ball.

Nobi Okura quickly passed the ball.

Nobi Suzuki assisted Akagi with a back-to-back shot, then used his flexible footwork to break through and score a layup under the basket.

Akagi was breathing heavily, holding his knees with his hands, unable to hide the fatigue on his face.

However, his eyes remained firm, and he patted his chest hard to cheer himself up.

"elder brother!"

In the audience, Haruko Akagi clasped her hands together and prayed silently for her brother.

Offense and defense transition!

Mu Mu wiped the sweat off his face with his jersey and walked slowly towards the front court.

As for the task of carrying the ball across half court, it was naturally done by Nobuhiko Okamoto.

In order to buy time for his teammates, Nobuhiko Okamoto passed the half-time on time.

Kenjiro Itakura came up panting, trying to force Nobuhiko Okamoto to pass the ball.

Unfortunately, he is already at the end of his strength.

Nobuhiko Okamoto dribbled the ball sideways and continued to delay time.

At the same time, he kept his eyes open to avoid being ambushed by opposing players.

There are two minutes left in the game. Every point is precious, so how can he be careless?

Hakata was helpless and had to let Nobuhiko Okamoto delay time.

During this process, the other Xiangbei players walked slowly on the court.

However, Bodo did not dare to relax at all, because the Xiangbei players would occasionally run and catch Bodo off guard.

When there were ten seconds left in the attack time, Murasakibara moved and rushed towards Nobuhiko Okamoto.

The next moment, Nobuhiko Okamoto passed the ball to Murasakibara and set a pick-and-roll for Murasakibara.

Although Nobuhiko Okamoto is not tall, he is strong and has good pick-and-roll quality.

With the help of Nobuhiko Okamoto's cover, Murasakibara easily got rid of Fujio Mori.

Kenjiro Itakura wanted to switch defense, but his steps were too slow and he was passed by Murasakibara in one step.

At this time, Murasakibara finally showed his fangs and opened fire at full force!

Suzuki Nobita stood under the basket, quietly waiting for Murasakibara to arrive.

Muguro rushed into the paint area without slowing down, and Suzuki Nobisuke immediately met him.

Using a small-sided attack against a bigger opponent, Murasaki pulled Suzuki Nobisuke's center of gravity and then rushed forward with the ball.

"You want to make me commit a foul? No way!"

Suzuki Nobita was startled, and no one knew what he was thinking. He quickly fell to the ground, as if he was knocked to the ground by Mumu. Mumu was a little surprised, but he did not step over Suzuki Nobita, but jumped up and made a tomahawk slam dunk.

Bang~
Murasakibara regains the score!

At this time, there are 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the game!
At this moment, the audience stared at the field intently, not daring to miss any details.

Even some viewers who wanted to go to the toilet forced themselves to hold it in.

The outcome of the game hangs in the balance and every second could change the situation.

Soon, Kenjiro Itakura dribbled the ball steadily across half court.

Nobuhiko Okamoto stepped forward again and started a confrontation.

Under Nobuhiko Okamoto's tireless harassment, Kenjiro Itakura's passing and dribbling space were greatly compressed.

Nobi Okura had to come up to cover, and Itakura Kenjiro quickly passed the ball to him.

Without hesitation, Nobi Okura quickly broke through Sato Ichiro's defense and went straight to the basket.

Akagi had to step forward, and Nobi Okura casually threw the ball into the basket.

Bang~
Nobi Suzuki made an air relay and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands, widening the score difference to 5 points.

It was Shohoku's turn to attack, and soon Nobuhiko Okamoto passed the ball to Murasakibara again.

At the signal from Coach Hakata, Shizuo Kudo rushed over quickly, wanting to double-team Murasakibara with Fujio Mori.

With Mitsui's exit, coach Bodo immediately adjusted the defensive tactics.

He was well aware of the threat posed by Murasakibara, so he focused more of his defensive attention on him, hoping to curb Shohoku's offensive momentum by defending Murasakibara closely.

Even near the end of the game, Murasakibara's explosive power was still amazing.

He started quickly and passed the slow-moving Maori Fujio in one step.

Facing the oncoming Kudo Shizuo, Murasakibara did not panic.

He first made a fake pass, pretending to pass the ball to Yamamoto who was in an open position.

Because the movements were too realistic, Shizuo Kudo obviously hesitated.

Not to mention Shizuo Kudo, even Kumamoto was deceived.

In this brief moment, Murasakibara accelerated again, passed by Kudo Shizuo, and continued to attack the basket.

Suzuki Nobisuke had no choice but to go forward and prepare to attack from the front and back with Kudo Shizuo.

When he was about to step into the paint area, Murasakibara instantly gathered the ball and bent his knees to prepare for a shooting posture.

Shizuo Kudo, who was chasing from behind, jumped up subconsciously, trying to block the shot.

Unfortunately, this was just a fake move by Murasakibara.

After successfully dribbling past Shizuo Kudo, Murasakibara took a slight step and made another shooting motion.

Suzuki Nobita had no doubts and thought that Murasakibara was really shooting this time.

So, he was deceived.

"It's over!"

When he jumped up, Suzuki Nobita realized that this was another fake shot by Murasakibara.

He began to panic, as it seemed inevitable that he would be ejected for five fouls.

The next moment, Murasakibara jumped up to meet Nobi Suzuki, ready to commit a foul.

Suzuki Nobita became ruthless and swung his right hand towards Murasakibara.

Since the fate of being ejected for five fouls is inevitable, let's teach Murasakibara a lesson, and it would be best if he gets injured.

At the same time that Suzuki Nobi hit him on the shoulder, Murasakibara used his fingertips to lift the ball slightly.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the basket.

Beep~
The referee immediately blew the whistle and raised two fingers.

shuh~
The basketball went into the net and the score was valid.

bang~
After completing the layup, Murasakibara lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.

At the critical moment, Akagi appeared in time and caught him.

Murasakibara breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wouldn't be injured, it would still hurt.

"No. 4 of the blue team committed a foul, and No. 11 of the red team gets an extra free throw!"

The referee's voice rang out, echoing in every corner of the gymnasium.

"Player No. 4 of the blue team, please leave the court immediately!"

In full view of the public, Nobisuke Suzuki was asked to leave the court by the referee on the spot.

For Nobisuke Suzuki, who was well-known in the high school basketball world, this was even more painful than killing him.

"How can it be repaired?"

Suzuki Nobita cursed inwardly, thoughts swirling in his mind.

You already have this ability, but you still play the art of war. You have a dirty mind!
Coach Bodo's face turned pale and he had to let the substitute center play.

Although Bodo's substitute center is quite strong, he still pales in comparison to Nobisuke Suzuki.

shuh~
At the free throw line, Murasakibara easily made the free throw and completed 2+1.

At this time, there were less than fifty seconds left until the end of the game, and Xiangbei was only two points away from tying Hakata.

In order to avoid the team's morale being low, Coach Bodo quickly called a timeout.

When the game resumed, the tension was so intense that it was almost visible to the naked eye. The air in the entire stadium seemed to have frozen.

Despite the urgent situation, the ball was still firmly in Bodo's hands.

Encouraged by the Boda coach, the Boda players remained calm and did not panic because of Suzuki Nobisuke's departure.

They knew very well that as long as they scored this crucial goal, they would have a chance to win.
