Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 239 I am like Sendoh, and Gaotou is like Mitsui!

After the game, the entire Tsukuba team was shrouded in gloom.

The players of Tsukuba hung their heads, their faces filled with disappointment, as if they had lost their faith.

Even though they knew they were no match for Shohoku, they didn't expect the gap to be this big.

Last year, even if Xiangbei won, they only won by less than 30 points.

This time, they were directly given a massacre.

This is because the main players of Xiangbei only played for 25 minutes, otherwise the score difference between the two sides would definitely be more exaggerated.

Wu Dai Youkazu's face looked particularly pale, his eyes were full of frustration, and he seemed extremely depressed.

This time, he did not tell Murasakibara that he would definitely defeat him next time.

The reality is cruel, and the result of this game dealt him a heavy blow.

Not only did he fail to fulfill his promise, but he also suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the same opponent.

Coach Kazumi Kawasaki saw this and was anxious, so he racked his brains to try to restore the players' morale.

As a coach, he has the responsibility to lead the team out of the trough.

Soon, after the coaches of both sides shook hands, the two teams began to return to the locker room.

In this game, Murasakibara didn't score many points.

Like the assists, Murasakibara only scored 20 points in total.

20+20, this is the answer given by Murasakibara in 25 minutes of playing time.

However, Murasakibara is not the highest scoring player of Shohoku, and can only rank third.

In this game, Akagi scored 33 points. If he had played the whole game, he might have been able to replicate Mori Shigehiro's 50+20+10 data.

The second highest scorer was Tetsuya Naito, who scored 25 points.

Tsukuba's inside line was too weak, and the twin towers of Xiangbei scored a total of 25 points in just 58 minutes.

Sure enough, 58 points is a magical number.

In addition to them, Mitsui also quietly scored 20 points.

Just four people scored a full 98 points!
In this game, Xiangbei's total score reached 141 points, with six players scoring in double digits.

After this game, the calls for the Big Four of Xiangbei began to be heard.

Before Murasakibara entered the locker room, he was stopped by Yayoi Aida.

"The size of this ball seems to have gotten bigger. I wonder if it's padded?"

At first glance, Mugure noticed something unusual about Yayoi Aida.

Unlike last year when her breasts were just beginning to show their breasts (flat chest), the current Yayoi Aida is obviously a size bigger.

"Mr. Kogure, congratulations on breaking the single-game assist record in the Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament. Can you accept my interview now?"

"Of course I can, but I just had a great game, so I'll just answer one question!"

Murasaki accepted it with pleasure!

Tsukushi Tsukushi: Do you have any misunderstandings about an exciting game?
"You only scored 20 points in this game, a new low. How do you feel about that?"

Is 20 points still low?

Look, does this make sense?
I'm afraid you have never seen a peak superstar who only scored 8 points in the NBA Finals.

If injuries are excluded, 8 points is almost the lowest score in the peak super giant finals.

Murasakibara thought about it, and suddenly, an idea came to him, and he decided to respond to this question with G0at's classic quote.

"This is Xiangbei brotherhood basketball. Everyone has to make sacrifices! Since someone has to make sacrifices, why not me?"

After saying this, Murasakibara ignored the dazed Yayoi Aida and walked straight into the locker room.

He hardly sweated during this game, but instead felt that the air conditioning in the gymnasium was a bit cold.

When Yayoi Aida reacted, she just felt that this sentence was incomprehensible and powerful.

At the same time, through her self-strategy, she was moved by Murasakibara's spirit.

After the first and second group matches were over, the third group's match naturally came next.

However, the matches of the third and fourth groups will be held in the afternoon.

Just as the Xiangbei team was about to leave the gymnasium, Uozumi intercepted the Xiangbei Big Three in the name of treating them to a meal.

As a person who has experienced it, Kogure Mitsunobu naturally understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

There must be some purpose behind Yuzumi's action.

He remembered that Ryonan had a match in the afternoon, and vaguely guessed Yuzumi's intention.

So, with the idea that it would be a waste if he didn't eat it, Murasaki readily accepted Yuzumi's invitation.

He turned to Akagi and Mitsui and said, "Let's go and enjoy a free meal."

Akagi and Mitsui naturally did not refuse.

The gymnasium is not far from Ryonan High School, only ten minutes by bike.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant run by the Yuzumi family.

Yuzumi warmly invited the three people into a private box.

As soon as they entered the box, Murasakibara and others saw several familiar figures, namely Coach Takeo, Sendoh and Ikegami.

"Three of you, feel free to order whatever you want to eat today. Don't be polite to me!"

Upon seeing the three giants of Xiangbei, Coach Tanaoka seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Looking at Coach Tagore's actions, Murasakibara became more certain of his previous guess.

It was obvious that the one who really treated the guests was not Yuzumi, but Coach Tanaoka.

"Then we won't be polite!"

Murasaki responded with a smile, then ordered a few signature dishes with Akagi and Mitsui.

As delicious dishes were served, the players toasted each other and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Mu Mu didn't want to compete with Coach Tian Gang's patience, so he asked directly: "Coach Tian Gang, you called us here for more than just dinner, right?"

Coach Tian Gang did not hide anything: "Last year, you Xiangbei played against Hainan High School twice. You must know them better than us. I want to learn from you."

Mu Mu nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "As for Hainan High School, there are two people who pose the greatest threat to you. They are Maki Shinichi and Ikeda Kazuhiro."

Coach Tiangang listened carefully, and then asked: "Do you have any ideas to deal with them?"

Mumu thought for a moment and replied, "Let Yuzumi focus on the defensive end, which can limit Ikeda Kazuhiro's performance to a certain extent."

Compared with Ikeda Kazuhiro, Uozumi is still a little inferior.

However, the focus here is mainly on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, Uozumi is no worse than Ikeda Kazuhiro. The key is that Ikeda Kazuhiro likes to play hard and aggressively.

Yuzumi's height and arm span give him a natural advantage in defense, so he shouldn't be at too great a disadvantage against Ikeda Kazuhiro.

Mu Mu paused for a moment, then set his eyes on Sendoh and Ikegami, and continued: "As for Maki Shinichi, Sendoh had better focus on the offensive end. There is no need to mark Maki Shinichi. You can leave him to Ikegami!"

There was one thing that Murasakibara didn't say, which was that even if he used Sendoh to guard against Amu, it would be useless.

As the defensive vanguard of Ryonan, Ikegami is definitely the most suitable player to defend Amu.

The two are of similar height, weight, and confrontation, but Ikegami's physical fitness is not as good as Amu's, similar to the physical difference between Artest and G0at.

As for Ikegami's defensive ability, Murasaki is not worried at all, because Uozumi often takes Ikegami with him when he goes to Shohoku.

In addition, there is also the relationship with his sister.

The last time, Murasakibara was able to successfully persuade Naito, and Ikegami Hideko made a great contribution.

For the sake of Uozumi and Ikegami Hideko, Murasaki would occasionally teach Ikegami some defensive techniques.

It is convenient for others and for yourself. If Ikegami defends well, Mugure can also better practice his offensive skills. It must be said that Ikegami is very talented in defense.

Now Ikegami's defense is not much inferior to Mitsui.

If calculated based on the data, Ikegami's individual defense is around 85.

This is not low. By the time the plot year comes, reaching 90 points should be no problem.

Coach Tiangang gladly accepted Mu Mu's proposal and said to Ikegami: "Ikegami, the responsibility of defending Amu is now handed over to you!"

"Coach, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Ikegami showed an excited expression, which meant that he would be able to start in the afternoon game and his playing time would not be short.

Ever since Sendoh, Fukuda and Asami joined Ryonan, together with those third-year seniors, Ikegami has never started in an official game.

Mu Mu seemed to remember something and added: "By the way, Hainan High School may use the one star four shoot tactics. Of course, these are just my personal opinions!"

"As expected of you, Muguro-san. The opinions you expressed are very important to our match this afternoon."

Coach Takeo agreed with Murasakibara's analysis. With these opinions, he could formulate a more appropriate tactical arrangement, which also gave him more confidence in Ryonan.

Murasakibara smiled slightly and successfully gained the trust of Coach Tagore.

At 1:30 p.m., the match between Ryonan and Hainan High School officially started.

Although Hainan High School’s performance last year was not satisfactory, the fact that it has dominated Kanagawa for 14 consecutive years makes its popularity far greater than that of Ryonan.

At the same time, most people are more optimistic about Hainan High School advancing to the joint finals.

This can be seen from the momentum in the stadium.

Inside the gymnasium, Ryonan's supporters were completely drowned out, with voices of support for Hainan High School everywhere.

This place has almost become the home court of Hainan High School!

In such an environment, the Ryonan players were more or less nervous.

Before the game started, Coach Tanaka and Coach Takato walked towards each other.

The two men stared at each other, and almost at the same time stretched out their right hands and grabbed each other's right hands.

With the two of them as the center, an invisible aura began to emanate.

The two did not speak, and after letting go of each other's hands, they returned to their teams.

"Coach, it's sparked."

"Coach, is there any relationship between you two?" Ikegami

"We knew each other since high school..."

Coach Tanaoka began to tell his story, saying that when he was a sophomore in high school, Coach Takato was a star player right after he entered high school and was known as a terrifying freshman.

In other words, Coach Tanaoka is one year older than Coach Takato.

When he was about to finish speaking, Coach Tiangang suddenly changed the subject and said that classic quote.

"I'm like Sendoh, and Takato is like Mitsui!"

Since Rukawa had not yet entered high school, Coach Tanaka replaced Rukawa with Mitsui.

As for why Murasakibara was not used as a replacement, it was mainly because Murasakibara was too strong, at least one level stronger than Sendoh.

"Immortal way?"

"Mitsui?"

The Ryonan players stared at the "old man" in front of them with stunned eyes.

After realizing what was happening, the Ryonan players pointed at Coach Tian Gang and questioned him, "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense..."

Coach Tiangang is speechless and has no words to say!

In the audience seats, Murasakibara and others were seated not far from the Ryonan bench, so they naturally heard Coach Takeo's self-introduction.

"Hahaha!"

Murasaki and Akagi pointed at Mitsui and laughed.

"How can it be repaired?"

A "well" character appeared on Sanjing's forehead, and he felt greatly insulted.

Then, Mitsui, whose mind was affected by anger, pointed at Akagi and said loudly: "Shouldn't it be like Akagi? They both look like gorillas!"

"Although what you said makes sense, you seem to have forgotten that Akagi is right next to you!"

Murasakibara spread his hands and gave Mitsui a look that said "May the best of luck to you".

It was not until then that Mitsui finally reacted, but it was too late.

"asshole!"

Akagi became furious and punched Mitsui on the head from the sky.

thump~
Mitsui had to squat down with his head in his hands, a look of pain in his eyes.

This is the main reason why he became the third in command, and Akagi convinced him with reason!

The "reason" here does not refer to truth, but physics!

This is just like what Confucius said. If logic doesn’t work, then study physics!

Soon, players from both sides began to take to the court.

Hainan High School's lineup consists of Amu and four senior high school players, so I won't go into details here.

Ryonan sent out a lineup of Uozumi, Inoue Toyoshi, Ikegami, A Shen and Sendoh.

"so high!"

When the audience saw Ryonan's lineup, they talked a lot.

In this lineup, the shortest is Ikegami at 182cm, and the average height is as high as 190cm!

Ryonan's lineup is comparable to Shoyo's four tall players in the plot year!

In addition to being amazed at the height of the Ryonan team, everyone was also puzzled by Sendoh's change to the point guard position.

Because in the previous games, Sendoh was always a small forward.

On the bench of Hainan High School, Coach Gaotou stood up from the bench in shock.

The lineup of the Ryonan team was obviously beyond his expectations, and he didn't expect Sendoh to change to play point guard.

The next moment, Coach Takato seemed to have thought of something and gave a mocking smile to Coach Takaoka opposite him.

"Paying too much attention to the opponent's players will actually cause you to lose your own advantages!"

Coach Gaotou thought he saw through everything!
He believes that letting Sendoh play the unfamiliar point guard position will prevent Sendoh from displaying his true strength.

Not only Coach Gaotou, most people present were not optimistic about Sendoh playing as a point guard.

Although Sendoh and Murasakibara are both 188 cm tall, they don't think Sendoh can be as wieldy as Murasakibara.

"Please advise!"

Soon, the main players of both teams looked at each other and bowed in greeting.

Yuzumi glanced at Amu, then walked forward silently.

He didn't say harsh words to Amu like he did in the plot.

Due to the sudden emergence of Murasakibara, Amu is not the number one person in Kanagawa, and his fame is only on par with Fujima and Mitsui.

In addition, it is also closely related to the changes in the fish's residence.

Now Uozumi is not the captain of Ryonan, and this year is not his last year. He is far from being under tremendous pressure like in the plot years. Not only is his temper not bad, but he is quite kind.

beep~
As the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began.

During the jump ball phase, Yuzumi used his height and long arms to get the ball towards his own position first.
