Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 265 Prison
Time passed by unknowingly, and soon, ten days had passed.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiangbei Basketball Hall.

On the court, Murasakibara broke through the defense of Mitsui and Rukawa successively and made a quick stop and fadeaway jump shot.

Mitsui and Rukawa looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Although they tried their best to defend, they still found it difficult to limit Murasakibara's performance.

Mitsui said with some jealousy: "Kumure, it's only been a short time and your strength has improved again. It's hard to accept."

On the side, Rukawa Kaede showed an envious expression.

His efforts are no less than Murasakibara's, but his progress is much slower.

At this moment, they felt the gap in talent.

“There is progress, but not much!”

Murasaki couldn't help but take a look at the attribute panel.

Status: Excellent
Evaluation: College superstar/college star/NBA water cooler manager
During this period, Murasakibara's strength has improved to a certain extent.

Among them, the biggest improvement is the crossover step.

This is also Murasakibara's first skill to reach LV10.

LV10 Cross Step is faster and more deceptive, and can shake the opponent's center of gravity more easily.

It was with the help of the cross step that Murasakibara was able to throw Mitsui and Rukawa around and easily break through their double-team.

After Cross Step reached LV10, Murasakibara had a vague feeling that if Cross Step continued to break through, it would most likely reach its upper limit.

Unfortunately, Murasakibara's evaluation did not go any further.

Mu Mu glanced at the time and said, "It's time for us to go to Tokyo!"

Mitsui and Rukawa had no objection and left the basketball hall with their luggage.

They are going to Tokyo to attend the McDonald's Basketball Junior Training Camp!
The training camp is located in Tokyo, and the organizers even rented the Tokyo Dome Stadium.

I have to say that McDonald's and Nike are really wealthy.

At the same time, they are also using this method to increase brand awareness.

The training camp lasts for ten days in total, with all meals and lodging included. I heard that in order to further increase its popularity, the organizers also invited an NBA superstar.

As for which superstar it is, that is not something Murasakibara can know.

As for why Rukawa Kaede is here, it may be because he has the title of the best junior high school student in the country.

"Mumu, Mitsui!"

When they arrived at the Shinkansen, Murasakibara noticed that Fujimae was waving his right hand at them.

In addition to Fujima, he is also accompanied by Taro Aso, who has just entered university. Apparently they have also received invitations to the training camp.

The training camp is limited to players under the age of 20, and Taro Aso, who is less than 19 years old, naturally meets this requirement.

I heard that after graduating, Taro Aso eventually joined Fukasawa Sports University.

Unlike Akagi in the plot year, Taro Aso's record naturally meets the admission standards of Fukasawa Sports University.

Taro Aso naturally made it to the national top eight.

"Fujima, Aso-senpai!"

Taro Aso looked at Mugure carefully and said with a smile: "Mugure, your achievement in the county competition is amazing. Fortunately, I have already graduated."

Although he was once defended by Murasakibara and only scored eight points, that is now a thing of the past. What's more, the one who suffered the most was not him, but Takamiya Motoyu.

"No, I heard that Aso-senpai is already the main substitute for Fukasawa Sports University. Congratulations!"

Since the sedan chair is carried by people, it is natural for Murasakibara to say something that Taro Aso likes to hear.

With Taro Aso's strength, it is natural for him to become the main substitute of Fukasawa Sports University in his freshman year.

This news came from Sugiyama Shota, who would take the initiative to contact Murasakibara every once in a while.

To put it simply, even though Murasakibara expressed his intention to go to America after graduating from high school, Fukazawa Sports University never gave up, hoping to impress Murasakibara with its sincerity.

At this time, Fujima pointed at Rukawa Kaede in confusion and asked, "By the way, who is this?"

"He's Rukawa Kaede, a third-year junior high school student, and he's attending the training camp with us!"

"Nani, Guosan!"

Fujima and Taro Aso exclaimed at the same time. They didn't expect that the third-year junior high school players were also among the invited guests.

"I think I've heard of this name!"

After being surprised, Fujima held his chin and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Fujima clapped his hands and said, "By the way, is he from Fuqiu Junior High School?"

He heard this name from Coach Kitano.

As the coach of Shoyo, Coach Kitano naturally has to pay attention to outstanding junior high school players across the country and bring fresh blood into the team.

Among them, Rukawa Kaede, the top junior high school student in the country, naturally tops the list.

"Well, Rukawa Kaede is from Fugaoka Junior High School."

Fujima then said with a complicated expression: "Kumure, you Xiangbei are really fast. It seems that Xiangbei's strength will be even more amazing next year."

There was already a certain gap between Shoyo and Shohoku, and by next year, the gap between the two sides is likely to widen further.

"I'll have to talk to Coach Kitano about this when I get back and focus on the other junior high school players."

Fujima thought to himself that in addition to Rukawa Kaede, Coach Kitano also mentioned other junior high school players, such as Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mito Yohei, Oda Ryumasa, Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango Koichiro...

He is also the best junior high school player in Kanagawa this year.

While waiting for the bus, two familiar figures walked towards this side.

One of them was Amu, who was wearing formal attire. Last year’s four super new stars from Kanagawa were all invited.

In fact, the fact that Amu was invited to participate in the training camp and was named one of the four great new superstars of Kanagawa added a lot of impression points to him.

Otherwise, given Amu's leadership performance, he would most likely not be invited like Sendoh.

In addition to Amu, standing next to him was the former Hainan High School ace Takamiya Motoyu.

After graduation, Takamiya Benyu naturally joined Hainan University.

Since Taro Aso was among the invited guests, Takamiya Motoyu would naturally be no exception.

As soon as he saw Murasakibara, Takamiya Motoyu's expression became very unnatural.

He recalled the embarrassing scene when he was dominated by Murasakibara in the winter trials. He still remembers that game vividly and he is afraid he will never forget it in his life.

Amu was not much better, as he was also embarrassed because the Hainan High School he led only made the top eight in the county competition. He felt that he was inferior to Mu Mu, Fujima, and Mitsui because of his poor performance and honors.

"Fellow passengers, please take note.
Train 3838438 from Kanagawa to Tokyo is about to depart..."

Just at this moment, the Shinkansen broadcast finally sounded.

Amu and Takamiya Motoyu walked straight to their own carriage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go!"

Murasaki and others also entered the carriage, and what a coincidence, they were all in the same compartment.

Soon, the Shinkansen started running.

Kanagawa is not far from Tokyo, and it only took Mugure and others two and a half hours to reach their destination, Bunkyo District, Tokyo.

Tokyo Dome is located in Bunkyo Ward. It is a 55-seat stadium that began commercial operation in 000.

Its dome-shaped roof is an elastic membrane, and the air pressure inside the dome is generally controlled to be 0.3% higher than that outside the dome to maintain the dome's top shape.

It is also the home stadium of the Yomiuri Giants, a professional baseball team in Japan, and hosts basketball and American football games, as well as professional wrestling, mixed martial arts, K-1 events and music performances.

Naturally, there were staff here to receive them and lead them into the training venue.

Pa~pa~
As soon as he entered the venue, Mu Mu heard the sound of a basketball hitting the floor.

Soon, he spotted many familiar figures.

Among them, the leader was none other than Sugiyama Shota.

Shota Sugiyama just meets the age requirement for the training camp. At this time, he has officially become the starting center of the national team and has a promising future.

In addition to Sugiyama Shota, there are Kaede Shimo Kashima, Kentaro Sakurai, Minoru Matsumoto, Kazunari Fukatsu, Nobisuke Suzuki, Kenjiro Itakura, Dai Moroboshi, Hirogen Takeshita, Eiji Sawakita...

Surprisingly, he also saw the Watanabe brothers heading to America!

As soon as they saw Murasakibara, the Watanabe brothers put down the basketballs in their hands and came to him.

"Kumure, you Xiangbei should be the champion of this county competition, right?"

The speaker was Masao Watanabe. Although the Watanabe brothers looked similar, their heights and body shapes were different.

Watanabe Masao is taller and stronger. He has obviously grown taller and his height seems to be over two meters.

Mu Mu nodded, and then asked: "How are you doing in America?"

Watanabe Masayasu on the side was the first to answer: "We tried out for several universities and were finally accepted early by George Washington University!"

It is still July and American University has not yet started, so the Watanabe brothers naturally have plenty of time.

So they gladly accepted the invitation to the training camp.

This not only allows them to see old friends, but also speeds up their progress.

After greeting the Watanabe brothers, Murasakibara began to look to the other side.

There is a group of young American players gathered there.

He looked across carefully, hoping to find a few familiar figures.

His main purpose of coming to the training camp is to meet future superstars here and acquire new titles and skills from them.

Suddenly, Mu Mu's eyes focused on a thin, young figure.

Lao Da!

Even though Kobe was only 16 years old and looked very young, Murasakibara still recognized him immediately.

At the age of 16, Kobe had already demonstrated extraordinary basketball talent, and his skills clearly surpassed those of his peers.

During this period, Kobe attended Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia and was well-known in the American high school basketball world.

At the age of 16, Kobe has already laid a solid foundation for his future.

Last year, Kobe led Lower Merion High School to a 31-3 record as a freshman, and even scored 50 points in a game against Marple High School.

This year, Kobe was named Pennsylvania Basketball Player of the Year.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kobe will be selected into the All-American High School First Team next year.

When talking about Kobe, Mu Mu remembered the Eagle County incident that Shaq also did, and the helicopter crash incident.

These two incidents had a great impact on Kobe. The former cost him money, and the latter cost him his life.

Murasakibara had no intention of reminding him for the time being because that period was still a long way off.

Besides, he and Kobe were strangers.

If Murasakibara reminds Kobe now, believe it or not, he will elbow you on the spot!
As we all know, Kobe is known as Little Malone.

In the future, Kobe wearing the No. 24 jersey can elbow you all day long, just like his jersey number.

Swish~swish~swish~
At this time, Kobe was practicing shooting under the defense of a player.

His opponent is none other than Richard Hamilton, who will be known as the 'Masked Man' in the future.

Among their peers, Richard Hamilton and Kobe were considered the top basketball talents in the country.

The two met in the 1995 conference semifinals, with Hamilton scoring 22 points but Bryant scoring 26 points in the game as the Lakers won the game 72-65.

When the name Hamilton was mentioned, Mu Mu thought of his story with the dog.

How good is Hamilton's physical strength?

During one training session, Hamilton took his dog for a run.

However, that day's training allowed the dog to witness the horror of Hamilton.

In the end, Hamilton tired the dog to the point of vomiting.

Hamilton's extraordinary endurance enabled him to achieve brilliant success on the basketball court and also had a profound impact on subsequent athletes.

Kobe's ability to become a physical genius in the future may be closely related to Hamilton.

At this time, Murasakibara looked at the other players from America.

Most of these players are Nico, whose skin color is darker than Kobe's, like charcoal, and it is difficult to recognize them without careful observation.

Murasakibara observed carefully for a while, and to his disappointment, although he found a few familiar figures, these players' future achievements in the NBA were relatively limited, far inferior to Kobe and Hamilton.

"Among the four major shooting guards and four major forwards, only Kobe is here. What a pity!"

Murasaki was very disappointed. He was even planning to collect stamps so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the island nation has very limited appeal to these guys.

This is common sense!
It was also at this time that a middle-aged white man led two staff members into the stadium.

As soon as he saw the white middle-aged man, Murasaki's eyes widened.
