Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 224: The ultimate kill! MVP!

With 49 seconds left, if everything goes well, Bodo will have two more chances to attack, provided that the attack is completed within 19 seconds.

According to FIBA ​​rules, an attack is limited to 30 seconds.

"Defense!"

As Hakata served, Kogure's voice echoed throughout the gymnasium.

Under the encouragement of Murasakibara, the Xiangbei players cheered up and defended with all their strength.

The last 49 seconds not only determine who will win the championship, but are also a test of one’s own will.

The players of the Xiangbei team quickly adjusted their defensive strategy. They kept entangled their opponents and did not give Bodo any easy chances to score.

Their eyes revealed determination and desire, hoping to turn the tide at the last moment.

On the Xiangbei bench, the substitute players watched the court nervously, some clenched their hands, some prayed in a low voice, hoping that their teammates on the court could create a miracle.

Coach Anxi put down the teacup in his hand, sat upright and watched the court.

If you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are focused on Murasakibara from beginning to end.

With the desperate defense of the Xiangbei players, Bodo had no chance for the time being.

This is also related to the fact that Nobisuke Suzuki was sent off the field. Otherwise, if there was no opportunity, they would definitely give the ball to him.

In such a situation, time passes by every second, and the situation on the field is constantly changing.

With 13 seconds left in the game, Shizuo Kudo finally got a chance with the help of his teammates.

Nobi Okura immediately passed the ball, and at the critical moment, Murasakibara rushed out and successfully completed the steal.

The basketball flew to the side and several nearby players rushed towards it.

In the chaos, someone hit the ball out, and it rolled right to Kenjiro Itakura's feet.

Kenjiro Itakura was just about to pick up the ball, but due to the tangle of Nobuhiko Okamoto, the basketball flew directly out of the sideline.

Since Nobuhiko Okamoto was the last to touch the basketball, the ball still belonged to Hakata.

However, there were only 6 seconds left in Bodo's attack time.

Soon, the Bodo center passed the ball.

Nobi Okura calmly used a fake shot to dodge Yamamoto, then ducked and broke through.

Murasakibara immediately deployed reinforcements and faced Nobi Okura aggressively.

Nobi Okura was impressed by Murasakibara's momentum and subconsciously passed the ball to Maori Fujio.

At the moment when Nobi Okura passed the ball, Murasakibara suddenly stopped, endured the discomfort in his right foot, turned quickly, and rushed towards Maori Fujio at the fastest speed.

With only 2 seconds left in the offensive time, Fujio Maori made a jump shot.

slap~
At the critical moment, Murasakibara arrived and successfully blocked the shot.

The basketball hit the ground and bounced back, and was grabbed by Akagi.

Hakata's substitute center and Kudo Shizuo wanted to fight for the basketball, and under the double-team, Akagi jumped up with the ball in his hand.

Relying on his height and long arms, he passed the ball smoothly.

Nobuhiko Okamoto received the basketball, and while being entangled by Kenjiro Itakura, he immediately passed the ball to Murasakibara.

During this process, the rest of the Bodo players took the opportunity to return to defense.

In such a tense atmosphere, every detail may become the key to determining the outcome of the game.

Murasakibara did not launch a fast break, but instead slowed down the pace.

At this time, there were only 16 seconds left in the game.

Players on both sides knew that every second that followed was crucial.

Coach Bodo stood quietly on the sidelines at some point, staring closely at the situation on the court, and shouted loudly: "Defend the three-pointer!"

The next moment, Bodo players quickly adjusted their defensive strategies and increased their efforts to protect three-pointers.

Murasakibara looked at Shizuo Kudo who was on high alert and appeared unusually calm.

While stalling for time, he pointed to the spot under his feet and said to Kudo Shizuo: "Watch out, I'm going to kill you right here."

His tone was full of confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Shizuo Kudo frowned, he thought that Murasakibara might want to use words to disrupt his mentality and get a chance to score easily.

When there were only 7 seconds left in the game, Murasakibara finally moved, holding the ball and showing signs of a breakthrough.

"This guy is really deceiving me!"

While Shizuo Kudo was thinking this in his heart, he moved sideways to block Murasakibara's breakthrough route.

For a moment, Murasakibara seemed to be entangled by him.

However, this was entirely intentional on Murasakibara's part.

When there were only three seconds left, Murasakibara took a step back and put two steps between himself and Kudo Shizuo.

Shizuo Kudo was horrified. He knew exactly what Murasakibara's purpose was, but it was too late.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Murasakibara jumped up, stretched his body to the extreme, and made a three-pointer.

While the basketball was still flying in the air, the buzzer sounded suddenly, signaling the end of the game.

At this moment, everyone present was staring at the orange basketball.

Mu Mu was also staring at the basketball, and his thoughts seemed to go back to junior high school.

Please rewatch Murasakibara’s 9-minute memories!

shuh~
The basketball drew a graceful arc and went into the net, creating a splash of color on the net and making a sound like a divine wind.

Lore!

At this moment, the entire stadium was completely ignited.

The audience's cheers were deafening, as if they were going to blow the roof off.

Shizuo Kudo looked at Murasakibara, his eyes full of disbelief and regret!

Because Murasakibara did not lie, he did make the winning shot at the place he just pointed.

Unfortunately, even though Murasakibara told Kudo Shizuo in advance, he still failed to seize the opportunity and could only watch Murasakibara steadily put the ball into the basket.

He deeply felt the suffocating feeling of the final blow!

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Xiangbei players could no longer contain their joy. They cheered, hugged each other, jumped and shouted.

After defeating Bodo, they became the champions of the Winter Tournament.

This is a national championship, and its value far exceeds that of a regional competition.

Their day-to-day training, the sweat they shed, and the countless self-challenges are all for the ultimate victory.

At this moment, all the sweat and hard work turned into sweet fruits. It was worth it!

At the other end of the field, the Bodo players seemed to be in an extremely heavy mood, with their eyes filled with reluctance and regret.

Originally they thought they had victory in their grasp, full of desire for victory and pursuit of glory, but now they can only face the bitterness of failure.

Some players couldn't suppress their inner sadness and burst into tears. Only tears could express their inner pain.

At this moment, it seemed as if all efforts had come to nothing.

In competitive sports, second place is definitely the biggest loser.

The sigh of the runner-up, the dream is not fulfilled!
In competitive sports, people often only remember the names of the champions.

No one will remember the second place unless his name is G0at.

They can only accept this result and turn this pain into motivation to move forward.

However, for the senior players, this was the last game of their high school career, and there would be no chance to make up for this failure.

They will enter the next stage of their lives with this unfulfilled dream, and this memory will become an eternal regret in their hearts.

Soon, the noise in the audience gradually subsided.

After the game, the coaches from both sides shook hands tightly again.

Coach Bodo said seriously, "Coach Anzai, Xiangbei will be regarded as our biggest rival. Next time we will definitely work harder to win the national championship!"

In Coach Bota's opinion, Xiangbei is definitely a team that cannot be underestimated.

As long as the three giants of Xiangbei have not graduated, Xiangbei will always be a strong contender for the national championship.

“I’m looking forward to the next showdown!”

Coach Anxi gave a proper smile.

While the coaches from both sides were communicating, Murasakibara picked up the data sheet out of boredom.

Like G0at, he is passionate about data.

In G0at's words: I don't care about the data at all, and I don't feel ashamed to inflate the data!

The difference is that he won't rack up stats in garbage time.

In this game, Mugure's statistics are as follows:
58分10助攻8篮板4抢断2盖帽，无失误！

As we all know, 58 is a magical number.

For some reason, whenever this number appears, you will be warned by a cannon punch!
Not long after, the award ceremony began!
The awards for the winter tournament are the same as those for the national tournament, which are still the best newcomer, best coach, best lineup, best defensive player and MVP.

Before that, let’s announce the top five data kings!
Scoring champion: Kogure Konobu!

Assist king: Mumu Gongyan!

Rebounding champion: Nobita Suzuki!
Steals King: Kogure Mitsunobu!

Block King: Nobisuke Suzuki!
The top five data kings in this winter competition were monopolized by just two people!

How cruel!

As for individual awards, Murasakibara is undoubtedly the favorite for all major awards.

Well, any award except Best Coach!
Soon, the chairman of the organizing committee began to present the first award - Best Newcomer.

"Let us congratulate Kogure Konobu from Shohoku for winning the Best Newcomer Award!"

Hua Hua Hua~
Bang bang bang~
As soon as the chairman of the organizing committee finished speaking, warm cheers rang out in the stadium.

Among them, the screams of Murasakibara's personal guards were the loudest.

The Best Newcomer award was won by Murasakibara without any suspense.

As expected, Coach Anxi won the Best Coach award.

Next is the selection of the best defensive player.

This award is mainly competed by Kimura and Nobita Suzuki.

No matter who it is awarded to, it is reasonable.

In the end, the organizing committee awarded the award to Nobisuke Suzuki.

Nobita Suzuki is the rebounding and blocking leader, and even his steals are in the top ten, plus Murasakibara has played two fewer games.

Therefore, Nobisuke Suzuki deserves the title of the best defensive player.

"I must win the Defensive Player of the Year award next year!"

Looking at Suzuki Nobisuke going up on stage to present the award, Mugure silently made a decision.

He decided to further strengthen the defense before next semester.

After the best defensive player, it’s the best lineup!
Among them, the five players with the most votes were Nobisuke Suzuki, Kogure, Kaede Shimoki Kashima, Mitsui and Minoru Matsumoto!
The performances of the first three are needless to say, while the last two are super rookies whose performances are second only to Murasakibara.

Mitsui was selected because he not only broke the three-point shooting record, but also performed well in the games against Changcheng High School and Hakata.

As for Matsumoto Minoru, his performance was equally outstanding and he was the second best player in Sanno Industrial after Kaede Shimoki Kashima.

Originally, Dai Moroboshi and Hirogen Takeshita also had the opportunity to compete.

Unfortunately, in the match against Hakata, Hiroyuki Takeshita performed poorly, and Dai Moroboshi did not play the whole game due to injury, which led to a discount in his data.

As for the Watanabe brothers, they didn't even make it to the semi-finals and were not eligible for selection for the best team.

"Next, we'll announce the Winter Nationals MVP award!"

The chairman of the organizing committee began to present the last award.

"Mumu, MVP!"

"Mumu, MVP!"

"Mumu, MVP!"

……

The next moment, countless audiences shouted Murasakibara's name in unison.

To put it simply, if the MVP is not awarded to Murasakibara, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the organizing committee!
"Congratulations to Kogure Konobu from the Shohoku team for winning the MVP of this winter tournament with a unanimous vote. Let's give him the warmest applause!"

After whetting the audience's appetite, the chairman of the organizing committee finally made the announcement.

Although he was not surprised, Murasakibara still smiled brightly.

At the same time, he also made history by becoming the first freshman to win the MVP in the Winter Tournament!
Under the eager gaze of Nobita Suzuki, Murasaki went on stage to receive the award and held up the MVP trophy high.

Hua Hua Hua~
The entire stadium was filled with the audience's enthusiastic cheers.

Murasakibara won the MVP, which was well deserved!
After the award ceremony, the chairman of the organizing committee announced the official end of the winter competition.
