Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 30 If you want to learn, I will teach you!
The turnaround jump shot has become Murasakibara's fourth skill, which not only adds a scoring technique, but also allows him to further grow.

"Mumu, your learning ability is too exaggerated!"

In such a short time, Murasakibara mastered the essence of the turnaround jump shot, and Ozawa Yusaku couldn't help feeling complicated.

It took him half a year under the guidance of Coach Tiangang before he mastered the turnaround jump shot.

That’s right, Yusaku Ozawa’s turnaround jump shot came from Shigeichi Taoka!

Coach Tanaoka was also a good basketball player when he was young, and he and Coach Takato can be said to be the early twin pillars of Kanagawa.

Coach Takeo also said that his relationship with Coach Takato when he was young was like that between Sendoh and Rukawa, but was collectively refuted by the Ryonan players: You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!

Coach Takaoka suffered a critical hit that was almost as severe as Sakuragi's Thousand Year Kill.

But I have to say that Coach Tanaoka was indeed a handsome guy in high school.

Unfortunately, time is merciless and now middle-aged Coach Takeo has been called an old man by Sakuragi.

"Senior, it's my turn to teach you how to pull up and shoot!"

In accordance with the prior agreement, Murasaki began to give special guidance to Yusaku Ozawa on pull-up jump shots.

The reason why Yusaku Ozawa chose the pull-up jump shot is that this technique plays an important role in improving scoring efficiency and breaking through defense, which can further improve his scoring ability.

Surprisingly, Yusaku Ozawa has some understanding of the pull-up jump shot. He has tried this move many times in training, but he has never mastered the trick and cannot use the technique freely in actual combat.

Murasakibara first asked Ozawa Yusaku to demonstrate, while he watched carefully from the side.

Soon, Murasaki discovered some problems. For example, when Ozawa Yusaku "braked", his center of gravity was too high, and his forefoot touched the ground first to stop suddenly, which made it impossible to effectively maintain the balance of his body, resulting in a poor shooting rhythm.

Murasaki began to teach according to the student's aptitude, correcting the flaws in Ozawa Yusaku's movements, and splitting the movements for Ozawa Yusaku to practice repeatedly.

However, although the pull-up jump shot seems simple, it actually requires hard practice and repeated training to grasp its essence.

If Yusaku Ozawa wants to master the pull-up jump shot, he needs countless times of practice and skill refinement, and gradually form muscle memory.

In order to master the pull-up jump shot, Yusaku Ozawa went from slow to fast, from being unguarded to facing the defense of Murasakibara.

This training lasted until the afternoon.

The two of them devoted their full attention to the training, practicing each move over and over again until it was perfect.

For this purpose, Yusaku Ozawa also had a lunch.

Murasaki has also witnessed Yusaku Ozawa's diligence, and the two of them can be considered to be of the same type.

It was not until the sun set that Yusaku Ozawa finally stopped.

Under Murasaki's instruction, he finally mastered the pull-up jump shot.

However, if you want to use this skill in actual combat, you still need a lot of practice.

"Mumu, I'm going back first. Come to Lingnan to find me anytime you have time!"

"Senior, goodbye!"

The two waved goodbye, and Yusaku Ozawa set out on the journey home alone.

As for the other players of the Ryonan team, they had already started their journey home after the game.

In this regard, five-star critic Shigekazu Taoka said that he would definitely supervise the players' training more strictly and resolutely eliminate the unhealthy tendencies within the team.

After Yusaku Ozawa left, Murasakibara returned to the basketball court.

At this time, the Akagi siblings were the only ones left in the gym.

For some reason, Muguro felt that Akagi Haruko was always looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and looked very hesitant.

"Haruko, is there anything wrong?" Murasakibara asked, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Akagi Haruko took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said: "Muro-senpai, can you teach me how to play? I know this may cause you some inconvenience, but I really hope to learn something from you."

Haruko Akagi's love for basketball is almost as great as anyone else's, especially now that she is a member of the No. 4 Middle School women's basketball team and is eager to prove her worth.

Although Akagi Haruko's voice was not loud, it was very clear in the empty basketball hall. Not far away, Akagi Takenori looked at his sister in surprise, then turned to Mu Mu with a complicated expression.

He was the one who taught Haruko Akagi basketball skills, but now his sister is taking the initiative to learn from others. Even though this person is his good friend, it is still difficult for him to accept.

Mugure looked at Haruko Akagi, and from her eyes, he could feel her love for basketball.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

Murasakibara smiled and nodded. He liked people who were ambitious.

"Thank you, Muguro-senpai!"

Haruko's pretty face immediately broke into a brilliant smile, and her bright big eyes sparkled with excitement.

Murasakibara started teaching from the basics, and Akagi Haruko listened carefully, nodding from time to time to show her understanding.

There are some problems with Haruko Akagi's basic skills, which may be related to the teaching of Takenori Akagi.

There is no way. After all, Takenori Akagi himself has not mastered the basic skills, not to mention that the heights of the brother and sister determine their different playing styles.

Under the guidance of Murasakibara, Akagi Haruko began the boring training.

She was wearing a sweatshirt and her hair was tied into a ponytail, which swayed as she moved.

As for whether Haruko can persevere, it mainly depends on whether she has enough patience.

After making sure that there was no problem with Haruko's movements, Murasaki asked her to continue practicing while he himself began to practice turnaround jump shots.

As time slowly passed, Murasakibara's turnaround jump shot improved at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

After two and a half hours, Murasakibara successfully improved his turnaround jump shot to level 2.

[Turnaround jump shot: LV1→LV2]

【CIC: 69-71】

[Flexibility: 78-79]

[Explosive power: 65-66]

After reaching Level 2 in his turnaround jump shot, Murasakibara's strength has improved to a certain extent.

The reason why it took two and a half hours was mainly because picking up the ball was a waste of time.

For the remaining time, Murasakibara did not continue practicing turnaround jump shots, but instead practiced three-point shots.

During this period, his three-point shooting attributes were improved because he practiced three-point shooting every day.

Although I don’t practice 500 three-pointers every day like Ah Shen, I can still shoot 200 every day.

For outside players, the importance of three-pointers is unquestionable.

While practicing three-point shots, Murasakibara would occasionally adjust his posture, correct irregular movements, and make long-term plans.

His main imitation object is Curry. From the flip of the wrist to the flick of the finger, his shots are fast and steady.

"Senior, let me help you pick up the ball!"

At this time, Akagi Haruko finished her training and after noticing that Murasakibara was practicing three-point shots, she took the initiative to offer to pick up the ball.

This is also the best way she can give back.

"Thank you for your hard work, Haruko!"

Naturally, Murasakibara would not refuse.

With Haruko's help, Murasakibara's training efficiency has been significantly improved.

He no longer has to run to pick up the ball frequently and can perform shooting training continuously.

With Haruko's help, his three-point shooting percentage has improved significantly compared to usual.
