Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 29: Killing
bang~
Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, the basketball first hit the basket and bounced high, and then when it fell, it went straight through the basket.

sigh~
The basketball went into the net, and the white net flowers swayed instantly.

79:78
The ball went in!
Lore!

No, to be more precise it was a near buzzer beater because the game was not over yet and there were still three seconds left.

"Good luck!"

Murasakibara smiled. He was not Mitsui and his three-point shooting ability was only 70+. Luck played a big part in his ability to make this shot.

"yeah!"

At this time, the Xiangbei players were cheering and their joy was beyond words.

In the last minute of the game, they successfully reversed the score.

At the free throw line, Murasakibara smacked the basketball twice and aimed the ball at the basket.

bang~
The basketball hit the front of the basket heavily, bounced back and rushed out of the three-point line at a high speed.

It was obvious that Murasakibara did it on purpose, not giving Ryonan any chance to overtake.

If this free throw is made, Ryonan can use the timeout mechanism to try to shoot a long three-pointer.

Although the probability of hitting is very low, what if it hits?

Murasaki's behavior was equivalent to directly killing the opponent's hope of a decisive victory.

Matsushita Asahi Sword started quickly and rushed towards the basketball at the fastest speed.

beep~
Before Matsushita Asahi touched the basketball, the referee blew a long whistle to indicate the end of the game.

"We win, we win!"

"We really beat Ryonan who was in the quarterfinals of the county tournament. It felt like a dream."

……

After the game, the Xiangbei players expressed their joy excitedly because they defeated the Ryonan team.

In contrast to the Xiangbei players, the Ryonan players felt completely disheartened.

Although this was just a friendly match, their opponent was the Xiangbei team, which was always known for being weak.

Losing to the Xiangbei team was hard for them to accept.

But they have to admit that this Xiangbei team is much stronger than they imagined, which forces them to re-evaluate the team.

At this time, Coach Tiangang came to Coach Anxi.

"Coach Anxi, I have benefited a lot from this practice match. If nothing unexpected happens, the Xiangbei team will be a dark horse in this year's county competition and have a chance to win a place in the quarterfinals!"

"Oh, coach Tian Gang, you are too modest."

Coach Anxi waved his hand and let out his signature laugh.

"Coach Anxi, I am impressed by your tactical arrangement and the players' execution. By the way, pardon my ignorance, what is this tactic?"

While speaking, Coach Tian Gang thought about whether Ryonan was suitable for this tactic, and then shook his head.

Although the Ryonan team has Yuzumi, the fledgling Yuzumi is simply unable to take on the core responsibility and needs some time to gain experience.

"This is the One Star Four Shooting Tactic. This tactic originated from Mumu. I was just reading it out. I heard him say that this is the latest tactical system from the NBA."

Coach Anxi did not hide it.

"Mu Mu?"

Coach Tiangang was very shocked and subconsciously looked at Murasakibara on the field, feeling very regretful.

"Such a talented person, how could I not pay attention to him before? This is my negligence. In the future, I must observe more carefully to avoid such mistakes again."

Seeing such talented players as Murasakibara and Akagi, Coach Tanaka felt so regretful.

While the two coaches were communicating, Yusaku Ozawa came in front of Murasakibara.

"Mumu, your strength is almost as good as mine. I hope we will have a chance to fight each other next time!"

Yusaku Ozawa's eyes revealed his recognition of Murasakibara's strength.

Murasakibara smiled slightly and responded politely: "No, compared to my senior, I am still far behind." One knows one's own business. Although he is comparable to Yusaku Ozawa in offense, he is still far inferior in overall ability.

Among them, physical fitness and defense were obvious hindrances.

However, Murasakibara believes that it won't be long before his strength is comparable to that of Yusaku Ozawa, or even surpass him.

At this time, Murasakibara took a look at the learning progress of the turnaround jump shot and found that it had reached 20%!

"Senior, I have a request. I would like you to teach me the technique of turnaround jump shot, is that okay?"

Murasakibara did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

Yusaku Ozawa thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll teach you the turnaround jump shot, and you'll teach me the pull-up jump shot. How about that?"

"make a deal!"

Murasakibara immediately agreed. It was a win-win situation. This way he wouldn't have to owe favors to anyone. After all, favors are hard to repay.

After a short rest, Yusaku Ozawa asked Coach Tanoka for instructions and then went to the court with Murasakibara.

"Kumure, let me demonstrate the turnaround jump shot in slow motion!"

Murasakibara didn't say anything, just stared at Ozawa Yusaku without blinking.

The turnaround jump shot is a common technique in post-up singles. The combination of fake moves and turning can disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm.

When it comes to turnaround jump shots, most people think of Jordan and Kobe first. They are also the representative players of turnaround jump shots.

"The first step to a turnaround jump shot is to pick the right offensive position, hold the ball in the low post, and make sure you are in the area where you are best at shooting.

Secondly, the foot position when you receive the ball is very important. When you receive the ball, don't rush to determine the position of the pivot foot, which can effectively avoid your foot being too stiff. "

Yusaku Ozawa explained while demonstrating, saying that the turnaround jump shot seems simple, but it is actually easy to understand but difficult to master.

To master this skill, you need to have a full understanding of the ball, as well as body coordination and precise grasp of timing.

The turnaround jump shot requires the player to turn around and jump quickly, while also adjusting the shooting action in the air to ensure the flight path of the basketball is accurate.

Maintaining body balance is extremely important in the turnaround jump shot.

Yusaku Ozawa shows how to use subtle adjustments in the waist and hips to maintain stability.

After Yusaku Ozawa demonstrated it once, Murasaki's learning progress instantly increased dramatically.

【Turning point jump shot, learning progress 34%! 】

After the demonstration, Yusaku Ozawa began to break down the key points of each movement.

"When you are preparing to turn around and shoot, you must determine your pivot foot in advance, and then use the pivot foot to push off the ground, so that the turn will be quick and powerful.

Remember, if you are right-handed, you should first pretend to attack the left side of the basket, then turn to the right side and shoot, and vice versa, so that you can ensure a smoother shooting posture..."

Yusaku Ozawa imparts his understanding and essence of the turnaround jump shot without reservation.

By the time Yusaku Ozawa finished his explanation, the learning progress of the turnaround jump shot had reached 53%.

“You can try it!”

Yusaku Ozawa passed the ball to Murasakibara, who played defense.

Of course, his defense was just a show.

When Murasakibara completed a turnaround jump shot with a not very smooth movement, Yusaku Ozawa began to correct the mistake he had just made.

"Kumure, you should lean with your buttocks, not your back. If you lean with your back, your center of gravity will be too high, and the opponent only needs to step back and you will lose your balance.

The faster the turning speed, the better. The center of gravity should be low when dribbling, and the dribbling should be rhythmic, fast and the body should be stable.

The last step of the turnaround jump shot must be explosive, so that the opponent can intuitively feel your strength and use the force to turn around. This can make your shooting more rhythmic, and at the same time, it is difficult for your opponent to block you. "

Yusaku Ozawa helped Murasakibara step by step to correct some of his mistakes in details, which further improved Murasakibara's progress in learning the turnaround jump shot.

Under the guidance of Yusaku Ozawa, Murasakibara's movements became more standardized and the accuracy of his turnaround jump shots continued to improve.

Half an hour later, Mu Mu finally heard the long-awaited prompt.

[Congratulations on acquiring a new skill - turnaround jump shot! ]
