Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 37 25+5+5
"Akagi, hurry back to defense!"

Mu Mu's voice sounded at the right time.

When Akagi was glaring at Mitsui, Hirai High School saw the opportunity, served the ball quickly and launched a fast break.

Fortunately, Hirai belongs to a bottom-ranked team, and due to the obstruction of Murasakibara, he failed to launch a fast break.

bang~
Akagi returned to defense in time and blocked the ball from the head, which hit the backboard heavily.

The first thing he did was to rush to the front court.

Compared with before, Murasakibara's speed and explosive power have undergone qualitative changes.

Now, Murasakibara is already the fastest player in Shohoku!

In almost the blink of an eye, Murasakibara rushed into the opponent's half.

Murasakibara was far ahead of the others. The point guard of Hirai team tried to chase him, but he could not close the distance between them and could only eat the exhaust gas in despair.

Murasaki's current offensive capability is probably close to that of the "inside ghost" Matsumoto Minoru.

Of course, defense is still worth forgetting.

After grabbing the ball, Akagi immediately threw it forward.

Murasaki jumped up to catch the ball. His movements were smooth and he easily scored a layup.

"Good job, Mumu!"

"Akagi, good pass!"

Murasaki and Akagi high-fived each other.

Although Akagi's progress is far slower than that of Murasakibara, he has also made considerable progress. Not only has he gained more skills in back-to-the-basket situations, but his passing and supporting abilities have also improved significantly.

The current Akagi is more like Uozumi in the plot year.

Well, a weakened version of the plot of Nian Yuzumi.

Akagi still has a long way to go before he reaches his peak.

The game is still going on. Hirai's team is weak and is no match for Shohoku.

Facing the fragile inside line of the Hirai team, Akagi raged around the basket, taking whatever he wanted and completely dominating the three-second zone.

Hirai's team had to double-team, but Akagi didn't stick to the ball and immediately passed it out.

Among them, Murasakibara got the most.

First of all, the two of them have the best understanding of each other.

Secondly, with the significant increase in speed, explosive power and positioning attributes, Murasakibara can always easily shake off the defensive players.

Third, Murasakibara has the highest hit rate in mid-range shooting on the Xiangbei team.

With the combination of Akagi and Kogure, Hirai's team was defeated and the gap between the two sides widened rapidly.

The Hirai team was so weak that they only had 8 players in total and couldn't even put together a complete 12-man lineup.

This is mainly because the team’s performance is too poor and new students are not very willing to join the team.

For a team like the Hirai team, unless there is a fight between weak teams, they will basically be eliminated in the first round every year.

If Murasakibara had not stopped Mitsui in time, the Shohoku team would probably have followed in the footsteps of the Hirai team.

At the beginning of the game, Hirai team was suppressed by Shohoku team.

The huge gap in strength between the two teams surprised many spectators present.

They originally thought that this would be a game between weaklings, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

This refreshed the impression of many viewers. They were obviously much more focused, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the field, afraid of missing out on the exciting scenes.

In this game, Murasakibara mainly ran without the ball, supplemented by fast breaks.

In addition, he will focus a lot of energy on defense and work hard to improve his defensive level.

Even so, Murasakibara's scoring data is rising rapidly.

Hirai's team is too weak, and he can always easily shake off his opponents and get open shooting opportunities.

When no one is guarding him, Murasakibara has a high shooting percentage.

By the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides was nearly 30 points. In basketball, such a difference almost means that the game has lost its suspense.

The Xiangbei players all had smiles on their faces and their eyes were full of confidence. They were very satisfied with their performance.

Unlike the proud players of Shohoku, the players of Hirai seemed extremely frustrated.

They lowered their heads and walked silently to the bench like zombies. Everyone's heart was filled with frustration, envy, jealousy and hatred.

We agreed to be lazy together, but you secretly turned over!

In the audience seats, several of Tsukuba's players looked at each other, all of them feeling the solemnity in their teammates' eyes.

In last year's county competition, Tsukuba Takeshi successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

However, in the joint finals, facing the strong teams of Hainan, Shoyo and Buri, not only did they lose three games in a row, but they also suffered a miserable defeat in every game.

Compared with the other three teams, they are not on the same level at all and seem to be just there to make up the numbers, similar to Buri in the plot year.

In terms of strength, Tsukuba is not necessarily much stronger than the top eight teams.

This is also the main reason why Tsukutake attaches great importance to intelligence.

In order to advance to the joint finals, Tsukushige must take every opponent seriously.

After careful analysis by Tsukutake coach Kazumi Kawasaki, it was concluded that there were three teams in Group 4 that posed a threat to them, namely Miuradai, Takenoko and Shohoku.

Among them, Miuradai and Takenoko both had very good results last year, while Shohoku won the friendly match against Ryonan, who played with all their main players.

Tsukutake captain Matsushita Yukigoro held his chin and said: "No wonder the Xiangbei team can beat Ryonan, their strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"Yes, especially No. 10 and No. 11, they played really well."

Tsukutake's vice-captain Matsumoto Kura's words were recognized by his teammates.

It was the outstanding performance of Akagi and Murasakibara that allowed the Shohoku team to easily suppress the Hirai team.

"However, if the Xiangbei team wants to challenge us, they still have to get past Miuradai and Takenoko!"

After finishing speaking, Kogoro Matsushita stood up from his seat and led the way out.

Because there is no need to watch the next game.

Soon, the second half begins.

Murasakibara stayed on the court for another five minutes, and then Coach Anzai waved his hand and changed the players to five in and five out.

There was no way. The score difference between the two sides had exceeded thirty points, and the suspense was completely lost.

In addition, they have a game tomorrow, so they must conserve their energy and stay in the best condition.

After the game, both of them achieved excellent results.

其中，赤木拿到了20+12数据，而木暮则是标准的25+5+5数据。

Both of them have a hit rate of over 60%. If the playing time limits the improvement of their data, their data will be further improved.

Mitsui said with emotion: "Kumure, I didn't expect that you have become so much stronger in less than a month!"

Looking back, Murasakibara was only at the level of a substitute in the team, but in less than a month, he made such great progress.

Mitsui could imagine how much effort Murasakibara had put in, and he couldn't help but recall Murasakibara's promise to him, which moved him deeply.

"Mitsui, how do you know that I got 25 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the first game!" Looking at Mitsui with tears in his eyes, Murasakibara replied with a smile.

"I know you got 25 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds. You don't need to stress about it!"

"I didn't hear it clearly. Please say it again. I'd like to hear it!" Mu Mu blinked and put his ear closer.

"asshole!"

Mitsui pounced on Murasakibara, but what greeted him was Akagi's iron fist.

thump~
"Asshole Mitsui!"

"Ah, what are you doing!"

"Who gave you the courage to call me a gorilla? I'll teach you a lesson!"

The stadium was filled with Akagi Takenori's roar, Mitsui's cries of pain, and his teammates' mocking laughter.

As we all know, Xiangbei’s main player certification is to have beaten Mitsui!
