Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 24: Akagi's Death
[Learnable skill detected - turnaround jump shot, learning progress 3%! ]

Muguro was delighted. As expected, Yusaku Ozawa was the second in the scoring list in last year's county competition. It was normal for him to have skills, and it was even possible that he had more than one.

As to whether the opponent will teach him how to turn around and jump shot, we will have to wait until the game is over.

Offense and defense transition!

Ito Masaru dribbled the ball across half court, and Matsushita Asahi came up to him again, scaring him so much that he immediately passed the ball to Murasakibara.

He was obviously frightened by Matsushita Asahi Ken, as the strength between the two was completely not on the same level.

Muguro guessed that Matsushita Asahi Ken was probably at the level of a main substitute for a strong team.

The strong teams here do not refer to teams like Ryonan and Tsukuba, but Sannoh or Shohoku with all five tigers.

"bring it on!"

When Murasakibara caught the ball, Yusaku Ozawa hooked his finger at him and was ready to go.

The next moment, Murasakibara pushed the ground with his right foot and quickly took a big step to the right side of Ozawa Yusaku. At the same time, he bent down, bent his knees, turned his shoulders, and quickly approached his opponent.

Yusaku Ozawa hurriedly moved sideways to block, and just when the two were about to make contact, Murasakibara quickly hit the ball to the front of his left foot with his right hand, then pushed off the ground with his left foot, accelerated and completed the breakthrough.

Compared with Yusaku Ozawa's cross step, Murasakibara's cross step is obviously more rhythmic and confusing.

It is obvious that Murasakibara's cross step is better than Ozawa Yusaku's.

The two passed each other in an instant, and Yusaku Ozawa hurriedly chased back.

His explosive power was even greater than that of Murasakibara, and soon, the two sides began to become parallel.

puff~
At this moment, Murasakibara suddenly stopped, shook off Ozawa Yusaku, and made a quick jump shot.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell accurately into the basket.

"I didn't expect that the little-known Xiangbei has such a strong player. Not only can he do the Eurostep, but he can also do the crossover step and the pull-up jump shot!"

Looking at Murasakibara's back, Yusaku Ozawa was surprised, but also showed an eager look.

He hasn't been this excited in a long time!

In his opinion, he and Mu Mu belong to the same category. Both are good at skills and have average physical fitness.

On the Ryonan bench, Coach Tanaka frowned and stared at Murasakibara.

Watching Murasakibara's outstanding performance on the court, he felt deeply hit in his heart.

I never expected that in addition to Mitsui Hisashi, the Shohoku team also has such excellent players as Akagi and Murasakibara, and they are both first-year high school players.

At this moment, Coach Tian Gang's emotions were like an overturned dye vat, like colorful paints splashing in his heart.

In order to strengthen the team, he went everywhere every year, begging for help from everyone to win over outstanding players, but the results were very limited.

In contrast, Coach Anxi is indifferent to the construction of the team and does not guide the players, but he can always attract talented players, as if he has been favored by fate.

People are so irritating!

How unfair fate is!

An indescribable feeling of jealousy spread in Coach Tiangang's heart.

However, he was well aware that jealousy would not solve the problem and tried to calm his complicated emotions.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Shohoku will rise! Oh, it would be great if Mitsui Shou was willing to come to Ryonan."

Coach Tanaka thought to himself that once Mitsui returned, with the addition of Akagi and Murasakibara, Shohoku's strength would probably not be inferior to Ryonan.

"No matter what, we must strengthen Ryonan as soon as possible. We have decided to increase our efforts to recruit talents next year!"

Coach Tiangang made up his mind silently. He decided to expand to the entire Kanto region and no longer be limited to Kanagawa Prefecture as in previous years.

There is no way. There are too many strong teams in Kanagawa Prefecture. After graduation, almost all outstanding junior high school players will choose top teams such as Kainan, Shoyo or Buri.

Although Ryonan is good, it is obviously not competitive enough compared to these top teams and can usually only recruit players that the top teams are not interested in.

This is the cruel reality that the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak. At this time, the game on the field is still going on.

Stimulated by Murasakibara, Yusaku Ozawa's desire to score was aroused.

In the next round, Yusaku Ozawa resolutely started scoring mode. He showed that he could do everything, and he was very decisive whether it was controlling the ball, breaking through or shooting.

Unfortunately, Murasakibara is no ordinary person either.

The two of them went back and forth on the court, neither of them giving in, but in the end neither of them could do anything to the other, and they were on the verge of a mutual explosion.

Driven by the two, the numbers on the scoreboard changed rapidly and the two sides began to take turns leading.

Among them, Ryonan excels as a whole; they are like a precision machine with every part working perfectly together.

Although the Shohoku team is not as good as Ryonan overall, they have Akagi and Murasakibara.

The two have been teammates at Kitamura Junior High School for three years. They are very familiar with each other and cooperate seamlessly, just like the connection between Akagi and Murasakibara in the original work, which makes people hard to guard against.

Whenever the Ryonan team tried to limit one of them, the other would always step forward and respond in time, causing the Ryonan players a lot of headaches.

With five minutes left in the first half, Murasakibara had already scored 15 points.

As his opponent, Yusaku Ozawa also scored 13 points.

In this competition, Murasakibara has a slight advantage thanks to his higher hit rate.

"I didn't expect that Mumu-senpai is so strong!"

Akagi Haruko was very shocked when she witnessed Murasakibara's wonderful performance.

She had met Murasakibara several times before, but Murasakibara had never demonstrated his superb ball skills in front of her.

"Compared to my brother, Muguro-senpai's skills are more suitable for me. I wonder if Muguro-senpai can teach me a thing or not?"

Like Takenori Akagi, Haruko Akagi also loves basketball, and she is currently a member of the No. 4 Middle School basketball team.

However, compared with Takenori Akagi, Haruko Akagi has no athletic ability at all.

To put it simply, it means that the physical fitness is average.

Haruko Akagi often learns skills from her brother, but Takenori Akagi's skills are really not suitable for her.

Soon, Yusaku Ozawa launched another attack, and Yuzumi took the initiative to step forward to cover him.

Yusaku Ozawa used the screen to temporarily shake off Murasakibara, and facing Akagi who came to defend, he once again scored two points with a clean turnaround jump shot.

Whether it is the turning while moving, or the smoothness, balance and stability of the shots, it is all pleasing to the eye!
At this point, the learning progress of the turnaround jump shot has reached 15%!

The learning progress seems fast, but the increase becomes slower as time goes on, and it is definitely not something that can be mastered in one game.

Unless the other party is willing to teach, especially some force-generating techniques, it is bound to take a lot of time.

The Shohoku team attacked, and this time, Ryonan strengthened its defense against Murasakibara.

As soon as Murasakibara received the basketball, the Ryonan team immediately double-teamed him.

He didn't force it and immediately passed the ball to Akagi.

Akagi used his nimble footwork to once again make the fledgling Uozumi spin around.

The moment Yuzumi's center of gravity shifted, Akagi immediately turned around and rushed towards the basket.

Uozumi, who was completely suppressed by Akagi, seemed very impatient, so the moment Akagi broke free, he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and wanted to grab Akagi's jersey to stop the opponent's attack.

Just at this moment, Yuzumi's foot slipped, and as a result, he not only failed to grab the jersey, but grabbed Akagi's shorts instead.

wow~
Akagi only felt a chill in his crotch, and then a huge force came from behind, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground in a mess.

At this moment, everyone was stunned with shock.

Hahahahaha~
The next moment, laughter suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.
