Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 244 A steal worth a thousand bucks!

To be exact, there were 56 seconds left in the game.

However, the ball is in Ryonan's hands.

In the stands, Mu Mu folded his hands and said, "This ball is very crucial!"

On the side, Akagi and Mitsui nodded in agreement.

If Ryonan hit this key shot, they might even win directly, because Hainan High School might not be able to seize the next attack.

Even if Hainan High School seizes the opportunity, Ryonan will most likely still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

It is precisely because of this that Coach Gaotou is in a very bad mood.

This can be seen from the pile of paper fan debris under his crotch, and it is unknown how many paper fans were broken.

How could Coach Takato not be angry? If Ryonan won the game, it would be a disaster for him.

If Ryonan steps on Hainan High School to get ahead, he will definitely be ridiculed by his old rival Coach Takeo.

In the past, Coach Takato often mocked Coach Tianoka, so Coach Tianoka naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

Of course, this is not the most important.

For the shameless tall coach, it was just a little bit of trouble.

The most important thing is that Hainan High School did not enter the joint finals, which will definitely be a heavy blow to the entire team.

Not only will the team lose its morale, but it will also be difficult to recruit outstanding new students next year, and there is a high possibility that the team will fall into a vicious cycle.

In addition, Coach Gaotou's foundation in the team is unstable and his position as coach will be in jeopardy. He may be dismissed at any time.

Coach Kitano’s previous experience is right in front of us!
"Wow, Mumu Gongyan!"

At this time, several little girls in the stands rushed over and surrounded Murasakibara in an instant.

There is no doubt that Murasakibara is very popular among women.

However, among the female group, he is more popular among young women, followed by young girls.

Despite this, Murasakibara has a large fan base.

He is the current top high school student in the country, and he snatched the position from the previous top high school student instead of replacing him after the other person graduated.

There is an essential difference between the two!
In this island country where popularity is rising, this has allowed Murasakibara to successfully break out of the circle and greatly expand his fan base.

Therefore, in Kanagawa Prefecture, there are very few girls who don’t know Murasakibara.

A little girl shyly asked, "Mumu, can I have an autograph?"

The other girls also looked at Murasakibara with expectant eyes.

"It's my pleasure!"

Mu Mu showed a smile as warm as the sun, which made the little girls feel like they were in spring breeze. Then he signed autographs and shook hands as quickly as possible.

When Murasakibara had sent the little girl away, he suddenly remembered that the support from Hainan High School had increased significantly, and many viewers were shouting Amu's name.

Mu Mu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Ryonan's attack ended in a miss. Ikeda Kazuhiro protected the rebound, and Amu made a fast break and scored against the defense of Sendoh and Ikegami."

Akagi simply recounted what had just happened.

"It seems that the situation in Lingnan is not optimistic!"

Murasakibara sighed slightly and looked at the electronic scoreboard again. There were 36 seconds left until the end of the game!
In other words, each side has one chance to attack.

Unfortunately, Hainan High School was leading by two points.

If Ryonan wants to win, it must seize this ball.

If possible, it would be better to take a three-pointer, because this may very well be Ryonan's last chance.

As for a tie?

Hainan High School has a deeper lineup than Ryonan, so playing overtime will be very disadvantageous for Ryonan.

Soon, Ryonan launched another attack.

Coach Tianoka was sitting on the bench. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.

The Ryonan team has used up all of its timeout opportunities, which means that the remaining time will rely entirely on the players' on-the-spot performance and self-adjustment ability.

At this time, his eyes were fixed on Xiandao.

At this moment, Coach Tanaoka placed all his hopes on Sendoh, and he believed that Sendoh could lead the team through the difficulties.

Time was limited, so Sendo didn't say much and dribbled the ball across half court.

Even in the final stage of the game, Sendoh still seemed calm and composed.

His presence makes the entire team feel at ease, as if victory is within reach as long as he is there.

Watching Sendoh's performance on the court, Coach Tanaoka felt a strong sense of pride.

On the field, neither side wanted to give up and the game had entered the bayonet fight stage.

Among them, Ashen was nailed down and had no chance to attack at all.

In this game, Ashen was the highest scoring player of the Ryonan team, and his hit rate was very high.

Hainan High School paid great attention to the sharpshooter Ashen and did not dare to relax at all.

Once Ryonan hits a three-pointer, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for Hainan.

Looking at Amu who was ready for battle, Sendoh passed the ball to Matsushita Asahi.

Not long ago, Matsushita Asahi replaced Fukuda.

Compared with Fukuda, Matsushita Asahi has a stable mid-range and long-range shot.

Unfortunately, Hainan's point guard was very tight.

Seeing that there was no chance, Matsushita Asahi passed the ball to Sendoh again.

Outside the three-point line, Sendoh is in a triple threat position.

Amu didn't dare to relax at all and kept a close eye on Sendoh's every move.

At the same time, the other Ryonan players began to run actively on the court, trying to tear apart the defense of Hainan High School by constantly interspersing and screening.

The next moment, Sendoh bent his knees and raised his hands, preparing to shoot.

Amu had to take a step forward. He didn't dare to gamble. He had to do this regardless of whether Sendoh would shoot or not.

Sendoh's three-point shooting is excellent, almost comparable to that of the current Ashen.

However, just as Amu stepped forward, Sendoh made a feint, received the ball and quickly broke through, passing Amu.

Amu turned around quickly and chased after him.

He was extremely fast and quickly shortened the distance between him and Xiandao.

During this period, Sendoh did not shoot but rushed towards the basket.

When stepping into the paint area, Sendoh jumped up and prepared for a layup.

Amu also jumped up and slapped the basketball in Sendoh's hand with his right hand.

At the critical moment, Sendoh used a clever pull-up shot to change the direction of the basketball.

"not good!"

Amu wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

slap~
Amu's right hand slammed heavily on Sendoh's ball-protecting hand, causing Sendoh to almost lose his balance.

Beep~
At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded!

While falling, Sendoh still stared at the basket and threw the basketball in his hand out based on his feeling.

bang~
Xiandao fell to the ground in a mess, making a dull sound.

However, his eyes were still fixed on the basketball.

At the same time, the audience and players from both sides held their breath and stared at the basketball that was about to fall.

bang~
The basketball hit the rim and bounced high.

At that moment, the hearts of the Ryonan team players sank.

Are they really going to be eliminated?

Fortunately, the basketball landed on the rim again and began to spin on it.

shuh~
After spinning twice, the basketball finally fell slowly into the basket.

Hua Hua Hua~
There was a loud cheer from the audience, which once again suppressed the momentum of Hainan High School.

On the Ryonan bench, Coach Takeo was visibly relieved, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Sure enough, placing hope on Sendo was the right choice.

Sendoh rubbed his butt and was helped up from the ground by his teammates.

"Sendoh, well done!" The Ryonan players surrounded Sendoh, their words full of praise.

At the free throw line, Sendoh took a deep breath, dribbled twice, and then shot it out.

shuh~
Sendoh completed 2+1 steadily!

At this time, there were only 15 seconds left in the game.

"Return to defense!"

At the first moment, Sendoh led his teammates to return to defense quickly.

After returning to his own half, Sendoh shouted to his teammates: "Everyone, do you want to play in the national competition?"

The Ryonan players shouted: "We want to!"

"As long as we can defend this goal, we will have a chance to participate in the national competition. Do you have confidence in this?"

"Have!"

Inspired by Sendoh, the morale of the Ryonan players was greatly boosted.

For a moment, the originally tired body seemed to be injected with strength and became more energetic.

Compared with Hainan players, Ryonan players have never played in national-level competitions.

Therefore, their desire to participate in the national competition is much stronger than that of Hainan players.

The Ryonan players were infected by Sendoh's spirit, and they began to fight tirelessly and with all their physical strength.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

For a while, Hainan High School had no chance.

In the bull horn area, Amu dribbled the ball steadily.

Suddenly, Ikegami moved forward.

Amu thought Ikegami wanted to repeat his old trick and compete with him, so he subconsciously pulled the basketball and prepared to break through from the right side.

"really!"

It was also at this time that Ikegami discovered the opportunity and pounced on it desperately.

During the conversation with Murasaki, Ikegami once asked about some of Amu's habits.

Mu Mu answered every question and told everything.

This includes a habitual little action that Amu makes before breaking through.

In this game, Ikegami has confirmed that Amu does have such a habit.

However, there is only one chance!
So, when Amu made his habitual movements, Ikegami immediately took action.

"Oops!"

Amu was startled and subconsciously wanted to protect the ball.

At the same time, he exposed his left elbow in an attempt to intimidate.

bang~
However, Ikegami bumped into it regardless.

He even overcame his fear and didn't close his eyes the entire time.

slap~
At the moment of the elbow collision, Ikegami swung his right hand and successfully completed the steal.

bang~
Ikegami fell to the ground, his left cheek hit by Amu's sharp elbow. He grimaced in pain, but also smiled with joy.

The referee did not blow the whistle because the Ryonan player grabbed the basketball.

The attack was effective!

"Defense!"

Amu yelled and rushed towards A Shen who grabbed the basketball.

Without hesitation, Ashen quickly passed the ball to Matsushita Asahi, who then made a quick move with the ball.

The players of Hainan High School tried their best to defend.

However, Matsushita Asahi stopped and passed the ball back to Sendoh.

Coach Gaotou stood up suddenly and shouted to the court: "Oh no, they are stalling for time!"

At the same time, many viewers began to count down!
"5, 4..."

The first thing Amu did was to rush towards Sendoh.

Unfortunately, Sendoh dribbled the ball sideways, giving Amu no chance to steal the ball.

Beep beep~
Just as Amu was about to take the risk, the long whistle signaling the end of the game finally sounded.

At this moment, the entire basketball court seemed to freeze.

Sendoh's face was filled with joy of victory. He threw the basketball in his hand high into the air, then raised his arms to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

"we won!"

"We defeated the arrogant Hainan High School!"

"Hooray for the joint finals!"

……

Whether it was the Ryonan players on the court or on the bench, they shouted excitedly, their voices filled with longing and expectations for the future.

They knew that this moment would become one of the best in their memories.

On the sidelines, Coach Tanaoka's usually serious and unapproachable face broke into a rare bright smile, as if all his hard work and efforts were rewarded at this moment.

He has coached the Ryonan team for 11 years. During this period, he has experienced countless failures and setbacks, but he has never given up and continued to fight for the team's victory.

He worked hard day and night, studying opponents, formulating strategies, and even running around to discover talents, hoping to bring hope to the team.

This year, they successfully defeated the arrogant Hainan High School and advanced to the joint finals.

The most important thing is that Coach Tiangang successfully took over by stepping on Coach Gaotou's fat face, which can be considered a proud achievement.

All the hard work and efforts over the past 11 years seem to be worth it at this moment.

Hua Hua Hua~
In the audience stands, Ryonan supporters were also celebrating wildly.

On the other side, the eyes of the Hainan players were filled with loss and helplessness.

Before the game, they were so confident.

After the game, they lost the match and were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the county competition.

Coach Gaotou stepped hard on the broken pieces of paper fan under his feet. Suddenly, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground in a mess.

On the court, Amu put his hands on his hips, his eyes full of unwillingness and disappointment.

The failure of this game will become an eternal pain in his heart.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

While the two teams were showing their different faces, on the sidelines, a young boy with a middle-parted hair and wearing overalls was holding his head in pain.

Just now, the basketball happened to hit him on the head.

This is a handsome young man, with a thin figure and short stature, and he exudes a flamboyant and uninhibited confidence.

Not far away, Mu Mu looked at the young man in surprise.

Because he recognized the other person's identity, he was the wild monkey - Kiyota Nobunaga!
However, he was not interested in Kiyota Nobunaga.

There is no way. Xiangbei Future already has monkeys, gorillas and foxes. If a wild monkey is added, it will really become a zoo!

At this time, Amu on the field slowly walked towards Ikegami.

"Ikegami, how did you know that?"

Ikegami rubbed his blue cheeks, thought for a moment and said, "Feeling!"

From beginning to end, he had no intention of betraying Murasakibara.

At the same time, he didn't need to answer.

He ignored Amu and continued to celebrate with his teammates.

Amu shook his head and walked towards the locker room with his head down.

At this moment, his back looked lonely.

The team he led lost again and fell in the first game, stopping in the quarterfinals of the county competition.

Amu felt that he was unlucky!

Before he joined Hainan High School, Hainan High School had ruled Kanagawa for 14 years.

By the time he joined Hainan High School, not only had he never won any championship, he was even unable to participate in national competitions.

This year, the team's record was only in the quarterfinals of the county competition, which made him, the core player of the team, feel very embarrassed.
