Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 3 Positioning Training
If Murasakibara had a brainless system flow, he naturally wouldn't have to do this.

Unfortunately, what he obtained was a panel that said "Hard work pays off." If he wants to improve his strength quickly, he must spend a lot of time.

Hearing what Mu Mu said, Mu Mu Aoi's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously asked: "What about your studies?"

"I have already prepared for this semester's courses in advance to ensure that my grades won't drop!"

Murasaki is a real academic master and is absolutely impeccable in studying.

Murasaki Aoi had no opinion and subconsciously looked at Murasaki Sasuke.

As a Yamato Nadeshiko-type woman, she habitually relies on her husband’s decisions.

Murasaki Sasuke didn't say anything and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand.

No one spoke and the atmosphere was very depressing.

For a moment, the living room was silent, with only the ticking of the clock as the only sound.

"Let's go eat first."

Murasaki Sasuke was the first to break the silence. Although his voice was soft, it carried the authority of a family head.

Soon, they sat around on the tatami to eat.

Mugure Sasuke looked at Mugure deeply and said, "Kumure, have you made up your mind?"

"Decided!"

Murasakibara looked at Murasakibara Sasuke with seriousness in his eyes.

Muguro Sasuke was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Although your ideas are a bit unrealistic, I am proud that you can bravely express your opinions.

You are a smart kid, you know what to do and what not to do, and since you firmly believe that this is the right decision, just go for it!"

On the side, Mugure Aoi was obviously relieved: "But you have to promise us that you must take good care of yourself."

The words of the two were like a warm current that warmed Murasaki's heart and made him feel the warmth from family.

Mu Mu didn't expect his parents to be so open-minded, and he said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, your understanding and support are my greatest motivation."

"Gong Yan, you must remember that you have chosen your own path. No matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, you must persevere. Don't be afraid of failure. Even if you fail, you must have a clear conscience!"

Murasaki Sasuke spoke earnestly, his words full of encouragement.

"No more talking, let's eat first!"

After finishing speaking, Murasakibara Sasuke picked up the bowl and chopsticks again.

In an instant, the originally heavy atmosphere disappeared.

Not long after, Murasakibara came to his room and began to make a training plan.

At this time, there is less than a month left before the county competition, and reasonable planning can allow him to improve his strength more efficiently.

In this process, he also needs to find his correct positioning, such as what kind of players Xiangbei is still lacking.

He quickly analyzed the current situation of the Xiangbei team. If Mitsui had not been injured, Murasakibara would most likely focus on three-pointers, positioning and defense, positioning himself as a 3D player.

Now that Mitsui is injured, the team is extremely lacking in offensive players, especially players with independent offensive capabilities.

To become such a player, in addition to having excellent independent offensive ability, it is best to have certain organizational skills to avoid being affected by double-teaming.

In the original work, Xiangbei was eliminated early because it lacked such players.

As for defense, with Akagi in the inside, Xiangbei's lower limit can be guaranteed to a large extent.

Human power is limited, so Murasakibara can only temporarily give up defense and focus on physical fitness and offensive skills.

Basketball is essentially a body-based sport, so physical fitness is naturally of paramount importance. The most typical example is a player who later proclaimed himself GOAT.

Without an excellent body to support you, even if you have great skills, your achievements will often be limited.

After careful consideration, Murasakibara quickly developed a training plan.

"Time waits for no one, start training now!"

Murasaki tidied up the room and quickly moved the debris on the tatami, freeing up a small space, which was mainly used for strength training.

Since there was no spacious venue and no equipment to assist, Mu Mu could only choose a more comprehensive exercise method - push-ups.

Push-ups are a simple yet very effective strength training method that mainly exercises the upper limbs, waist and abdominal muscles, especially the chest muscles.

Mu Mu supported himself on the ground with his hands, fingers slightly spread, looking for the best support point. His feet were shoulder-width apart, his body was straight like a taut bowstring, his feet and hands were on the same level.

There are many ways to do push-ups, depending on the muscle groups being exercised.

Mu Mu chose medium-range push-ups, which mainly focus on training the middle part of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid and triceps.

He took a deep breath, slowly lowered his body, and began to do standard push-ups.

Murasaki tried hard to control his breathing, inhaling when lying prone and exhaling when pushing himself up, trying to make every movement appear standard as much as possible.

He must ensure the correctness of his movements to avoid sports injuries due to improper techniques.

However, his body was rather weak, and after only doing a dozen or so, his breathing gradually became heavy, and his hands even trembled slightly.

He did not give up, but gritted his teeth and tried his best to perform every move perfectly.

“…29, 30!”

Mu Mu was breathing heavily and counting silently.

After finishing a set of 30, he could no longer hold on and fell flat on the tatami.

Although Murasaki played basketball for three years at Kitamura Junior High School, his focus was mainly on physical training and basic skills.

After taking a few deep breaths, Murasakibara opened his personal panel.

He found that the progress bars of the two major attributes, strength and stamina, had increased.

Among them, the progress bar representing strength increased significantly, directly rising by a large margin.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that the strength attribute is too low. After all, the lower the attribute, the faster the progress bar will increase.

After a short rest, Mu Mu did not continue doing push-ups, but instead did squats.

Squats are an essential exercise for strengthening the legs and hips, as well as core strength.

Soon, Murasaki's breathing became rapid again.

Sweat gradually slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the tatami, leaving small wet marks.

Call ~
After a quarter of an hour, Murasakibara finally completed his goal.

He completed three sets of squats, 15 reps each, with one minute of rest between sets.

Murasaki stood up and began to walk slowly around the room.

Even though his legs were a little shaky, he had no intention of sitting down to rest.

From a scientific point of view, it is not advisable to sit down and rest immediately after strenuous exercise, because muscles will produce a large amount of lactic acid during exercise. Sitting down to rest immediately will cause blood flow to slow down, and lactic acid cannot be transported to the liver for metabolism in time, thus causing muscle soreness, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms.

It is best to relax properly after exercise, which helps relieve muscle tension, restore muscle elasticity, and prevent blood from stagnating due to sudden stillness. It is advisable to sit down and rest after the heart rate drops to normal levels.

After five minutes, when Murasakibara's heartbeat had basically returned to normal, he sat down.

After replenishing water, Murasakibara looked at his personal panel again.

Among them, the progress bar representing strength is about to reach the end.

"I wonder what kind of changes will occur after the attributes are improved?"

Thinking of this, Mu Mu became excited and couldn't wait to do the second set of push-ups.

Soon, Mu Mu was breathing heavily, but he persisted and finished the last push-up.

It was also at this time that a reminder sounded in his mind.

【Strength: 50-51! 】

As the prompt sounded, a tingling sensation quickly spread throughout my body.

During this process, Murasakibara found that his sore muscles were significantly relieved.

"I didn't expect that increasing strength attributes would have such benefits. To some extent, this can extend my training time."

"What if it is an increase in physical attributes? Can physical strength be restored?"

Murasakibara thought of a possibility. If it worked, there would be room for maneuver.
