Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 418 Frustrated Love and the Four Giants!

Not long after, Morishige Hiroshi challenged Kogure again.

His eyes were firm, filled with an unwavering determination to win.

On the court, Morishige Hiroshi moved swiftly, searching for the best attacking position.

Unfortunately, he still didn't get what he wanted this time, and could only stand helplessly off the rim and reach out for the ball again.

Soon, Amu passed the ball over again.

Unlike the last challenge, Morishige Hiroshi seems to have learned his lesson this time.

He no longer simply confronted things head-on; instead, he started using his brain.

bang~
Morishige Hiroshi first bumped into Kogure, then made a move to continue bumping into him.

Just as he was about to make contact with Kogure, he suddenly made a turning motion similar to that of a washing machine.

For a moment, the audience was amazed by Morishige Hiroshi's agility, which is quite rare for a center.

However, in Kogure's eyes, Morishige Hiroshi's turning movement was full of flaws, giving Kogure an opportunity to exploit.

The moment Morishige Hiroshi turned around, Kogure reacted swiftly.

The ball can't pass the person!
pop~
Kogure made another steal.

His movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

By the time Morishige Hiroshi reacted, Kogure had already grabbed the basketball and led the Shohoku team on another fast break.

Led by Kogure, the Shohoku players quickly caught up, their steps were neat and their teamwork was excellent, shooting towards the opponent's position like a sharp arrow.

Kogure's leadership was perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

However, Moroboshi Dai, Maki, and Mikoshiba had made preparations in advance.

To put it bluntly, they never expected Morishige Hiroshi to be able to defeat Kogure.

Despite his incredible strength, Morishige Hiroshi is still in the stage of playing with his body, and his technique is terrible.

Not only was Kogure able to withstand Morishige Hiroshi's impact, but his athleticism was also superior to Morishige Hiroshi's.

In terms of skill and experience, Morishige Hiroshi is far inferior to Kogure.

During the defensive retreat, Mikoshiba entangled Rukawa.

Not far away, Maki followed closely behind Sakuragi.

Maki is strong and athletic, with athletic abilities almost on par with Sakuragi, and can effectively limit Sakuragi's performance.

As the captain, Moroboshi Dai quickly adjusted his mindset and charged towards Kogure with a heavy heart.

After a brief struggle, Moroboshi Dai rushed into the paint first, trying to gain a favorable position.

Before Moroboshi Dai could even establish himself, he was shocked to find himself shrouded in a shadow.

He looked up and saw Kogure jumping just inside the free-throw line.

Kogure's speed was already on par with Sakuragi's, and with the added bonus of being called a "glider," he was even slightly faster than Sakuragi.

In mid-air, Kogure spread his long legs and passed through the sides of Moroboshi's large head.

At the same time, Kogure stretched out his arm and forcefully slammed the ball into the basket.

Bang~

With a loud bang, Kogure completed the dunk.

During this process, Moroboshi Dai was unable to react in time.

He felt a dull ache on his face, followed by what felt like being whipped by something.

Kogure quickly released the rim, jumped off Moroboshi Dai, and landed steadily on the ground.

Hua Hua Hua~
As Kogure completed his dunk, the atmosphere in the stadium instantly reached its climax.

The audience's emotions were like a powder keg that had been lit, their faces beaming with uncontrollable excitement and bursting into deafening cheers, thrilled by Kogure's brilliant performance.

The Shohoku substitutes all stood up and applauded and cheered for this wonderful moment.

It was only then that Dai Moroboshi finally realized what was happening.

His face was flushed and flushed, his heart filled with frustration and helplessness.

He desperately wanted to get revenge and didn't want to be completely overshadowed by Kogure's brilliance, but he couldn't muster the courage.

There was nothing they could do; their opponent was Kogure.

In the world of high school basketball, Kogure was a dominant force, a true demon king.

Beep~
At this point, Ai and the coach had to call a timeout, and the players from both sides began to leave the field.

On the Shohoku bench, Ayako and Yoko are recording the players' data.

When they finished compiling Kogure's data, the two girls stared at each other in shock.

24分15助攻11篮板9抢断4盖帽！

Almost all of Shohoku's total score was related to Kogure.

Furthermore, Kogure did not hold back on defense, which is also why he nearly achieved a quadruple-double.

I would like to give special thanks to Maki, Mikoshiba, and Morishige Hiroshi. Without their sponsorship, Kogure might not have been able to achieve such good defensive statistics.

As we all know, in order to get double-digit steals and blocks, in addition to skill, luck also plays a role.

Anyone who has watched the NBA knows this.

In the decades of NBA development, there have only been a few instances of quadruple-doubles, and all of them occurred before the 21st century.

Before Kogure's time travel, no player in the 21st century had ever achieved a quadruple-double, though there were near-quadruple-doubles.

What impressed him most was Michael Carter-Williams, who was known as the 'highlight of human debut'!
Michael Carter-Williams, whose full name is Michael Carter-Williams, embodies the spirit of three legendary players!
首秀面对‘巅峰三巨头’的热火队砍下22分7篮板12助攻9抢断的准四双数据，并帮助76人队以114-110险胜对手。

Whether considering the statistics or the quality of the opponent, this debut was absolutely phenomenal, leaving Kogure in awe.

The only pity is that Michael Carter-Williams ultimately failed to live up to expectations.

"Just one more steal and the senior will have a quadruple-double!"

Ayako's announcement surprised everyone in Shohoku.

Because shortly after the start of the second half, Kogure achieved a near quadruple-double.

If Kogure were to choose to 'travel off-peak' like gOat and shamelessly boost his stats during off-peak hours, his stats would definitely be phenomenal.

Let alone four pairs, even five pairs are possible.

"Oh ho ho ho!"

At this moment, Coach Anzai let out his signature laugh, temporarily abandoning the idea of ​​replacing Kogure.

At this point, Shohoku was already leading Aiwa Academy by more than 20 points, and garbage time was not far off.

Coach Anzai originally wanted to substitute Kogure early, allowing Rukawa and Sakuragi to lead the game and further cultivate the next generation of Shohoku.

Since Kogure had the opportunity to achieve a quadruple-double, he was naturally willing to help him.

On the other side, the four giants of Love and the Big Four all collapsed on the bench, looking very unhappy.

The four looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

What I fear the most is that the air will suddenly become quiet!
All four of them had one thing in common: without exception, they were all tortured by Kogure, their suffering was truly tragic.

They had to admit that the man was too powerful.

"Everyone must cheer up, we still have hope!"

At this moment, Ai and Coach forced themselves to say those words.

When Ai and the coach said this, they had no confidence at all.

Because even he himself doesn't believe it!

This is the current state of Aihe; morale is on the verge of collapse.

"That's right, we still have a chance!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Moroboshi Dai, as the captain, had no choice but to be the first to respond to the coach.

Love and the players finally realized what was happening and began to respond.

If you listen carefully, you'll notice their responses are listless and weak. And just then, Ai and the manager announce Kogure's statistics for the match.

"No matter what, we can't let him get a quadruple!"

At this moment, love and the four giants reached a rare consensus.

The game can be lost, but Kogure must die!
After the timeout, both teams returned to the court.

Shohoku's lineup has undergone slight changes, with Miyagi replacing Okamoto Nobuhiko.

Aiwa had possession of the ball, and Maki had just crossed halfway when Miyagi immediately came to meet him.

"Middle-aged man, I will definitely beat you in this match!"

Miyagi loudly proclaimed, his voice filled with confidence and determination, as he fantasized about stepping on Maki to rise to power!

In Miyagi's view, although Maki is experienced, this is his first time participating in a national-level competition, especially since it is through a top-tier team.

This inevitably led him to look down on Amu to some extent.

Furthermore, Maki was completely outmatched by Kogure in this match, which further convinced him of his judgment and led him to believe that Maki was nothing special.

"Middle-aged man!"

Amu stared fiercely at Miyagi, his eyes revealing a predatory look.

He hates being called a middle-aged man more than anything else in his life!

If Kogure or Mitsui called him that, he probably wouldn't be angry, because they are indeed stronger than him.

Miyagi was different; he was merely a substitute.

"Little dwarf, you've successfully caught my attention!"

Amu's eyes were cold. In order to get revenge on Miyagi, he immediately gave Miyagi the nickname "little dwarf".

He may not be a match for Kogure, but surely he can beat Miyagi!
Little dwarf!
Miyagi was instantly enraged by being addressed that way by Maki.

He hates it when people say he's short!

Miyagi lost his temper and immediately lunged at the basketball, wanting to teach Maki a lesson.

Unfortunately, Miyagi's actions were too rash.

Amu easily broke through with just a simple crossover.

With Kogure anchoring the paint, Maki naturally had no intention of driving to the basket.

Without waiting for the palace to get close, Amu decisively stopped and jumped at waist level.

His jump shot form was a little awkward, almost identical to his future "crab-faced" jump shot.

Ugly as a painting!
sigh~
Nevertheless, Maki still managed to score the shot.

Even if the form is ugly, as long as it goes in, it's a good shot!
Soon, Miyagi dribbled the ball past midfield.

Amu beckoned to Miyagi with his finger and said with feigned contempt, "Little dwarf, let me see if you have the ability!"

"Watch how I beat you to a pulp!"

Miyagi glared at Maki through gritted teeth and immediately took action.

Miyagi's confidence was not unfounded; he seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, quickly dribbling and breaking through.

His speed and agility were at their maximum, which was the source of Miyagi's confidence.

After a year of honing his skills, Miyagi's breakthrough and shooting techniques have become increasingly refined, allowing him to easily break through the opponent's defense in this way.

In order to defeat Maki, Miyagi used his fastest speed.

However, Maki was no ordinary person, especially since his speed was not much inferior to Miyagi's.

Amu quickly slid forward, blocking Miyagi's path of breakthrough.

Miyagi tried to change direction, but Maki rushed in and engaged in a fair fight with him.

Gongcheng felt a powerful force strike him, causing him to lose his balance and change his hand movements.

pop~
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Amu reached out and made a steal in an instant.

Immediately, Amu grabbed the basketball and launched a fast break.

Because the two players were positioned at the top of the penalty arc, Amu was able to cross the midfield in just two steps.

Miyagi quickly chased after him, reaching out to try and interfere, but he couldn't manage to distract Maki.

Maki was too cunning, constantly taking the initiative to challenge Miyagi, making it impossible for him to find a chance to steal the ball.

The two advanced side by side, and in just two or three seconds, they rushed into the basket.

Amu leaped up, intending to release his inner frustration with a dunk.

It's not that Amu can't dunk; with his jumping ability, dunking isn't difficult for him.

However, he was quite rational and didn't want to waste his energy on dunks, and dunks could also affect his shooting touch.

In addition, his dunks are not graceful.

Watching Maki jump and dunk, Miyagi was completely helpless.

At the crucial moment, a large hand slapped the basketball from behind, pinning it against the backboard.

At the same time, Amu felt a force coming from behind and was knocked away.

Amu quickly braced himself with his hands and turned to look at the person who had come from behind.

Upon discovering it was Kogure, Maki couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.

After Kogure completed this block, his total number of blocks reached 5.

"Shorty, you're lucky this time, someone's cleaning up your mess!"

Amu stood up and, as he brushed past Miyagi, uttered these words.

"That despicable middle-aged man!"

Miyagi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage as he looked at Maki, his reason quickly eroding.

"Miyagi, don't forget what the coach said!"

Suddenly, Miyagi heard Kogure's voice in his ear.

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, instantly bringing him back to his senses from his feverish state.

At that moment, Miyagi's mind quickly replayed Coach Anzai's special instructions to him before the match.

That means giving the ball to Kogure and letting him organize the attack.

Simply put, Miyagi is a 'point guard' who dribbles the ball across half-court.

Soon, Miyagi dribbled the ball past half-court and reluctantly passed it to Kogure.

"Little dwarf, it seems you're scared!"

Maki didn't let the opportunity pass and continued to attack Miyagi.

Miyagi didn't say anything, but instead quickly slipped away to the bottom corner.

Amu immediately gave chase, seemingly pursuing Miyagi, but in reality, he kept an eye on Kogure out of the corner of his eye.

Just as Kogure was backing down Morishige, Maki immediately turned and pounced on Kogure.

He had clearly done meticulous calculations to ensure the sealing was completed in the shortest possible time.

At almost the same time, Moroboshi Yasuhisa and Mikoshiba also demonstrated their teamwork and speed.

They all abandoned their respective opponents and rushed towards Kogure at top speed.

In the blink of an eye, Ai and the four giants had surrounded Kogure.

At this moment, even Kogure felt the pressure.

His eyes darted quickly between Love and the Big Four, knowing he had to make a swift decision or risk being trapped by his opponents.

Kogure quickly devised a strategy in his mind, thinking about how to use his advantages to break through the encirclement of Love and the Four Giants.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the game became increasingly tense, and the audience's eyes were involuntarily focused on the five players.
