Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 428 A mere speck of sand is not even half as good as mine!

Anyone can talk big!

You can say that Zebei isn't good at fighting, but you absolutely can't say that he's cowardly or afraid of trouble.

This guy is as stubborn as a mule, possessing an indomitable will.

Similarly, during junior and senior high school, he frequently clashed with older students who liked to bully the weak.

"Kid, you'll see how powerful I am in a minute!"

Willie Farley received the basketball from Sawakita, his eyes filled with provocation.

On the basketball court, skill naturally speaks for itself.

The next moment, Willie Farley broke through with the ball.

His breakthroughs are straightforward and lack variation; this is a typical bulldozer-style breakthrough.

Zebei quickly shifted his feet to the side, attempting to block Willie Farley's path of attack.

Willie Farley did not choose to change direction, but instead used his physical advantage to forcefully confront Sawakita.

Because of his weight disadvantage, Zebei was knocked away by the opponent and lost his defensive position.

Willie Farley seized the opportunity, strode into the basket, leaped up, and slammed home a dunk.

Bang~

With a loud thud, the basketball was slammed into the hoop.

Willie Farley gripped the rim, turned and looked at Zebei with disdain, as if to say, "This is the difference between you and me."

"It's just a ball, what's there to be proud of!"

Zebei muttered something, his eyes showing no fear, but rather excitement.

His competitive spirit has always been strong, and even though he has been defeated by Kogure time and time again, he still chooses to rise to the challenge.

If Kogure is like this, then Willie Farley is even more so.

Zebei came to the three-point line, and according to the rules, he was the one to initiate the attack this time.

After passing the ball back and forth, Willie Farley casually tossed it to him.

That nonchalant attitude made Zebei feel a surge of anger.

He had never been looked down upon like this before!

The moment he received the basketball, Zebei immediately started his drive and initiated a breakthrough.

Zebei's explosive power caught Willie Farley, who was defending him, off guard.

Willie Farley attempted to block Sawakita's breakthrough route using a sliding step.

However, Zebei easily faked out the defender with a crossover step.

Willie Farley did not give up. He quickly turned around and chased after Zebei with all his might.

It must be said that Willie Farley's athletic ability was indeed outstanding.

This is also the main reason why he was able to become the starting player for Farragut Academy despite his rough technique.

Despite feeling the pressure coming from behind, Zebei remained calm.

Just as Willie Farley caught up with him, Zebei suddenly stopped.

Willie Farley had no time to react and rushed inside.

By the time he realized something was wrong and stopped, the two had already separated by three steps.

Zebei leaped up, stretched his body, and pulled up for a jump shot.

sigh~
The basketball traced a near-perfect parabola through the air, piercing straight through the net and creating a splash.

Zebei immediately shook his index finger: "That's it?"

"Kid, I was careless just now. Don't even think about scoring another goal."

Willie Farrell slapped his chest and glared fiercely at Zebei.

It was Willie Farley's turn to launch an attack, and just like in the previous round, he once again chose to break through with a bulldozer.

Like most Ni Ge players, Willie Farley's technique was rough, and he mainly scored by attacking the basket.

This time, Zebei did not choose to confront them head-on.

He was self-aware enough to know that his confrontation was no match for Willie Farley's.

However, this doesn't mean he has no solution.

He began to use a grappling technique to slow Willie Farley down.

Under Sawakita's harassment, Willie Farley couldn't get going at all. Suddenly, Sawakita spotted an opening and slapped the basketball with his right hand.

pop~
The basketball flew directly out of bounds.

"I've seen through you!"

Zebei looked at Willie Farley with a confident expression.

If Willie Farley's skills had stopped there, the outcome of the bullfight would have been predictable.

Willie Farley's face was very unpleasant, but he still forced a smile and said, "Hmph, that was just an accident!"

Soon, Zebei launched a new offensive.

He first took a tentative step, and Willie Farley kept a close eye on Zebei's every move, trying to block his breakthrough route and not give him any easy scoring opportunities.

Upon seeing this, Zebei immediately took a step back, retreating to outside the three-point line.

Without hesitation, Zebei took a three-pointer.

Due to the rhythm issue, Willie Farley tried to stop him, but it was too late.

sigh~
The basketball, like a precision-guided missile, once again pierced the rim with unerring accuracy.

Since three-pointers count as two points, Zebei is temporarily leading 3-1.

Zebei scratched his earlobe and asked, "By the way, what did you just say? I remember you said you wouldn't let me score another goal."

"hateful!"

Willie Farley's face was ashen, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, as if he really wanted to punch Zebei.

Not far away, Kogure, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes, ready to clean up Sawakita's mess.

No matter what, Zebei was still his roommate.

In a foreign land, they must unite.

In short, you must be assertive when playing in America and never back down, otherwise your opponents will definitely take advantage of you.

If Yao Ming had been more assertive in the future, none of the subsequent series of terrible events would have occurred.

Of course, this is also related to Yao Ming's management team.

Bill Duffy, a notorious but incompetent agent, represented players including Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Anthony Davis, Baron Davis, Greg Oden, Luka Doncic, and many others.

The company has many star players, but their achievements and resumes are rather lacking.

Even Anthony Davis, who has won a championship, is only the 'second-place champion'.

Poor Anthony Davis, he clearly performed better in the 2020 NBA Finals, yet he didn't even get a single Finals MVP vote.

Kyrie Irving: Me too!
Furthermore, Bill Duffy even forgets about his players fulfilling their team contracts.

This could be considered the most outrageous mistake ever made by a player's agent!
Despite the subsequent compensation, it couldn't change the impression of his poor business skills.

This is why most basketball novels don't have the protagonist sign with Bill Duffy.

Signing Bill Duffy was a major culprit.

Of course, the most addictive element in sports novels is the trial card.

On the field, Willie Farley took a deep breath and ultimately held back.

Despite how annoying Sawakita was, Willie Farley didn't dare to be too outrageous in front of everyone.

The bullfight between the two continued, with Willie Farley starting to attempt a back-to-the-basket move.

However, the results were not ideal.

His back-to-the-basket moves also lacked any real skill, reminiscent of GOat's style.

If Zebei simply lowers his center of gravity, Willie Farley's back-to-the-basket moves will be less effective.

His poor coordination made him too slow to turn around, making it difficult for him to shake off Zebei's entanglement.

Anyone with eyes can see that Zebei has completely suppressed Willie Farley.

Willie Farley's playing style is too predictable; sometimes he even hits his shoes while dribbling.

11:3
In less than ten minutes, the two had decided who would win.

"A mere speck of sand is not even half as good as mine!"

After winning the bullfight, Zebei stood with his hands on his hips, beaming with pride.

Enraged, Willie Farley raised his fist to teach Zebei a lesson.
