Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 237 Everyone seems to be a traitor!

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

Sunday!
After half a month of competition, the county competition officially determined the top eight places.

In addition to the four seeded teams, there are Minowa, Ryonan, Tsukuba and Sunrise West.

This day is also the day to decide the top four places in the county competition.

There are a total of four games today, all concentrated at the Kanagawa National Gymnasium, and the winners will qualify for the joint finals.

The first game is naturally the match between Group 1, between Buri and Minowa, and the second game is between Shohoku and Tsukubuki.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the first game officially began.

The Xiangbei team sat in the audience stands, watching the game.

In addition to the Xiangbei team, teams including Shoyo, Ryonan, Hainan High School, and Tsukuba were also present.

Before the game started, the stadium was packed with spectators, even the aisles were filled with spectators.

Although Minowa is a veteran strong team, its momentum is still far inferior to Buri, which won the summer national championship last year.

Soon, the game officially started.

As soon as the game started, Minowa was clearly at a disadvantage and was suppressed by Buri.

Even though the Watanabe brothers have graduated and left, the Buri team's foundation is there, and with the addition of three high-quality freshmen this year, its strength has not declined too much.

In this game, the most active player in Buri was Ming Gaoguang, who contributed dunks on the court from time to time.

This is also related to the fact that Minowa does not have an excellent center, which allows Ming Gaoguang to have whatever he wants in the paint area.

Since Minowa was unable to limit Ming Gaoguang's performance, Buri used their best one-star four-shooting tactics.

In this way, Ming Gaoguang played very comfortably, with a dominance similar to that of Watanabe Masao last year, and every attack seemed easy.

Of course, these are all illusions of the audience.

Compared with Watanabe Masao, Ming Gaoguang still has a long way to go. Once he encounters a strong center, he will be in great danger.

However, dealing with Minowa is no problem at all.

With Ming Gaoguang's outstanding performance, Minowa seemed powerless and was completely unable to form an effective defense.

In the first half, Minowa was completely suppressed by Buri and had almost no power to fight back.

By the end of the first half, Minowa was already trailing by more than twenty points.

This is the result of Buri not being able to fully display his strength, otherwise the score gap would have widened further.

In the second half, under the leadership of Ming Gaoguang, Buri's offensive was like a tide, one wave after another.

The balance of the game has completely tilted towards Buri, and the audience has a feeling that the two teams are not on the same level at all.

Soon, when Buri widened the gap to thirty points, the morale of the Minowa team completely collapsed.

The Minowa players seemed to have lost their way on the field, looking confused, pitiful and helpless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Buri quickly expanded its score advantage, making the game completely suspenseful.

Less than ten minutes into the second half, the game entered garbage time.

In order to prevent Minowa players from becoming psychologically unbalanced and putting themselves in danger, Coach Buri immediately replaced the players with substitutes.

Seeing that he was powerless to turn the situation around, Minolta also replaced his main players.

In the end, Buri defeated Minowa with a large score.

After watching the game, Mu Mu shook his head and said, "Buri is finally in decline!"

Although Buri defeated Minowa by a large margin, it cannot cover up the fact that their strength has declined.

Last year, Buri Kou, led by the Watanabe brothers, beat Ryonan by 35 points in the first half!
Compared with Minowa, Ryonan was relatively stronger last year.

If this Buri team were to face off against last year's Ryonan, even if Buri could win in the end, the outcome probably wouldn't be decided so quickly.

Ming Gaoguang seems to be excellent, but last year's Yuzumi is not inferior at all, the only difference is that the former is more aggressive in offense, while the latter is better in defense.

"The decline of Buri is also a good thing for us. At least we can relax a little bit!"

Mitsui responded, his eyes always focused on Matsumoto Masaru in Takeri.

Mitsui has always had a high opinion of Matsumoto's defense, and believes that Matsumoto is the best outside defender in the country.

At this time, Naito said in a muffled voice: "Senior Akagi, are you sure you can defeat Ming Gaoguang?"

"Ming Gaoguang is nothing but a good-for-nothing in my eyes!"

While speaking, Akagi raised his head slightly and looked very confident.

Since the graduation of Masao Watanabe and Shinichi Yano, Kazuhiro Ikeda is the only one left among the three centers in Kanagawa.

Therefore, except for Ikeda Kazuhiro from Hainan High School, Akagi thinks everyone else is a traitor.

Of course, this is also closely related to Akagi's progress during this period.

In Muguro's opinion, the current Akagi is almost as good as he was in the plot years.

"It's our turn!"

Murasaki stood up and led the Shohoku team into the player tunnel.

Not long after, Xiangbei and Tsukuba took the court one after another.

Hua Hua Hua~
The next moment, the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly became frenzied.

Countless spectators began to cheer loudly for their favorite team, one after another, echoing throughout the entire stadium.

"Xiangbei, Xiangbei!"

Among them, most are supporters of Xiangbei.

"Mumu, Mumu!"

What is speechless is that compared with the voices supporting Shohoku, the voice of "Kurogure Nomi" is even more powerful.

As for Tsukuba Tsukuba's momentum, needless to say, it was completely suppressed and hardly made a splash.

This is Xiangbei!
Since Shohoku won the Winter Tournament Championship, the number of Shohoku supporters in Kanagawa Prefecture has grown rapidly.

Even Takeri, who is also a national champion, is a little inferior because Shohoku has the best high school student in the country!
Listening to the crazy voices supporting Shohoku and Murasakibara, players of Tsukuba Tsukishiro clearly felt tremendous pressure.

“Basketball is not only a contest of skills and physical strength, but also a contest of will and spirit.

So, I hope everyone will not be influenced by external things.

Even if our opponent is strong, we can't give up easily. I hope everyone can give it their all and perform their best.

No matter what the result is, as long as we show our best, I will be proud of you!"

Before the game started, coach Kazumi Kawasaki looked more serious than ever as he gave the final mobilization.

He is very self-aware and knows well that Takeshi Tsukushi is no match for the Shohoku team.

For coach Kazumi Kawasaki, what is more important is the players' attitude on the court.

Therefore, he hopes that the players can show fighting spirit in the next games.

Even when facing Xiangbei, we must dare to fight and dare to challenge.

Only through challenges can they discover their own shortcomings and make better progress and growth.

For the players, such experience is the most valuable asset.

Under the encouragement of coach Kazumi Kawasaki, the hearts of Tsukuba players are filled with strength and determination.

Compared with Tsukuba, the atmosphere in Xiangbei was obviously much more relaxed.

Coach Anxi did not have any arrangements for this game. He just held the cup and drank tea quietly.

The outcome of this game has already been determined!
“We are strong!”

However, Murasakibara still led the Xiangbei players in shouting the slogan.

Soon, both sides started to play.

In this game, Xiangbei sent out the combination of Akagi, Naito, Mugure, Mitsui and Okamoto Nobuhiko. That's right, Miyagi was not in the starting lineup!
The reason is simple, Miyagi has not yet developed mid-range and long-range shooting, and he is not even sure about open shots.

In contrast, Naito has developed two shooting hot spots.

Murasakibara doesn't think that Miyagi is unable to learn mid-range and long-range shots. Even if he doesn't have a talent for shooting, as long as he persists, he should be able to make open mid-range shots.

Looking at the big men in the future NBA, many of them have developed accurate three-point shots, such as Wenban Yama!

Even G0at has gradually developed his three-point shot.

Although G0at sometimes has a good three-point shooting percentage, this is mainly because the opposing players will hardly defend his three-pointers.

"How can it be repaired?"

Upon learning that he was not in the starting lineup, the self-important Miyagi sat on the bench angrily, feeling very dissatisfied.

You know, he started in the training matches and friendly matches, but in the official matches, he sat on the bench.

slap~
The next moment, Miyagi felt a slight pain in the back of his head.

He turned back angrily and found that it was Ayako who hit him on the head with a fan. The anger on his face immediately disappeared.

"Liangtian, the coach has his reasons for doing this. Besides, you asked for it. If you don't practice your mid-range and long-range shots, it will be difficult for you to get a chance to start."

As the manager of the basketball club, Ayako knows Shohoku very well.

Since Miyagi has not yet mastered mid-range and long-range shooting, he is naturally not suitable for the starting lineup. Otherwise, how can Xiangbei play the one-star and four-shooter tactics?

Compared with Miyagi, Nobuhiko Okamoto has stable mid-range and long-range shots, which obviously better meets the tactical requirements of Xiangbei.

"Mumu, I will try my best to limit your performance as much as possible!"

Looking at Murasakibara not far away, Wu Dai Youhe would definitely be lying if he said he felt no pressure.

He never imagined that Murasakibara's progress would be so astonishing.

In just one year, he became the top high school student in the country.

No, it should be that he took away the title of the nation's top high school student from Kaede Shimoki Kashima in last year's winter competition.

In other words, it only took eight months for Murasakibara to complete his gorgeous transformation.

Horror!
Because of Murasakibara, Tomokazu Goshiro also became a cabbage, but his progress speed could not be compared with Murasakibara.

At present, Tomokazu Goshiro is at best a starting player for a strong team.

Despite this, he is already one of the best players in Tsukushige's team.

Beep~
The next moment, the game officially began.

The referee threw the ball high up, and when the basketball began to fall, Akagi jumped up and easily passed the ball to Nobuhiko Okamoto.

Uesugi Taira simply stood on tiptoe and then turned around to defend.

Soon, Nobuhiko Okamoto crossed the half court with the ball.

Without any hesitation, he immediately passed the ball to Murasakibara.

The first ball naturally goes to the boss!
Murasaki received the ball with both hands, assuming a triple threat stance.

Wu Dai Youkazu pursed his lips tightly and fixed his eyes on Murasakibara, not daring to relax at all.

However, Murasakibara's explosive power was beyond his imagination.

Before Tomokazu Goshiro could react, he was easily defeated by Murasakibara.

"So fast!"

Tomokazu Goshiro was shocked. He didn't expect Murasakibara to be so fast. His reaction could hardly keep up with Murasakibara's movements.

He quickly turned around and chased after him, but Murasakibara's speed was like an arrow shot from a bow, and the distance between the two could not be shortened.

Tomokazu Goshiro could only watch as Murasakibara broke into the basket and jumped high in front of Uesugi Heiya. His body stretched in the air and he completed a dunk in an almost suffocating manner.

Bang~
With a loud bang, Mu Mu slammed the ball into the basket.

bang~
This was accompanied by the sound of Uesugi Heiya falling to the ground.

Uesugi Heiya fell to the floor, his mind went blank, and he fell into deep self-doubt.

As a center forward, he is 6 kilograms lighter than Murasakibara, not to mention that Murasakibara is already fully charged.

The current Murasakibara is like Amu in the plot. When he is fully motivated, there is almost no limit to what he can do.

The next moment, the audience burst into warm cheers, marveling at Murasakibara's wonderful performance.

At the first moment, the Xiangbei team immediately returned to defense to avoid being forced into a fast break by Tsukuba.

Sure enough, after standing up, Uesugi Taira immediately chose to serve quickly.

Unfortunately, Akagi and Naito were both quite fast and completed their defense first.

In the blink of an eye, Natsume Hiroshi stepped into the frontcourt with the ball.

Nobuhiko Okamoto was ready for the attack, but was easily defeated by Hiroshi Natsume.

As a player shorter than Miyagi, Natsume Hiroshi's speed is almost as good as Miyagi's.

Before Xiangbei could make up for the defense in the interior, Natsume Hiroshi made a layup near the free throw line.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

"yeah!"

After scoring two points, Natsume Hiroshi swung his arms vigorously, quite passionately.

"Tsk tsk!"

Mitsui was amazed and then set his eyes on Miyagi on the bench.

Mitsui, who doesn't get along well with Miyagi, naturally won't forget the opportunity to attack Miyagi.

Both are short point guards, but Natsume Hiroshi is good at both mid-range and long-range shooting, while Miyagi has been relying on his past achievements.

At this time, Mu Mu said to Mitsui: "Mitsui, you and Okamoto will switch defense later!"

"Just wait and see how I perform!"

Mitsui patted his chest and made the promise.

Offense and defense transition!

Soon, Nobuhiko Okamoto subconsciously passed the ball to Murasakibara.

This was completely his subconscious behavior.

It's confirmed, this guy is possessed by 'Old Fish' Fisher!

Facing the well-prepared Tomokazu Goshiro, Murasakibara launched a new round of offensive.

This time, Wu Dai Youhe was more focused than ever before.

The audience held their breath, looking forward to the next showdown.

Murasakibara changed direction in front of his body, and Tomokazu Goshiro immediately adjusted his position, trying to block Murasakibara's breakthrough route.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great.

Murasakibara's sense of rhythm is so strong that he easily completed the breakthrough just by changing direction in front of his body.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and he left Wu Dai Youhe behind in an instant.

After completing the breakthrough, Murasakibara did not slow down at all and rushed towards the basket quickly.

Facing the aggressive Murasakibara, Uesugi Heiya showed a hint of fear in his eyes and dodged to the side in fear.

Muguro jumped high, his body fully stretched in the air, his right hand shaped like a battle axe, and slammed the ball into the basket.

Bang~
Under the huge impact, the basket squeaked under the heavy weight and the basketball stand shook violently.
