Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 429 Conflict
Zebei's English communication skills can only be described as clumsy and broken, but he is very good at trash talk.

He's never won a fight, but he's never lost an argument—that's a perfect description of Zebei.

Willie Farley's dark face flushed red, his eyes burning with fury.

"Fuck!"

He could no longer bear it, his emotions erupting like a volcano. He clenched his right fist, gathered all his strength, and mercilessly delivered a powerful punch to Zebei.

This punch, imbued with Willie Farley's fury, was incredibly powerful.

His punching style resembles that of Iron Man; although powerful, it has a certain amount of pre-animation delay.

Zebei was startled by Willie Farley's overreaction, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already missed the best opportunity to dodge.

In a critical moment, Willie Farley's elbow was grabbed by a large hand, and Willie Farley's fist finally stopped in front of Zebei.

Willie Farley was taken aback. He turned around and saw that it was Kogure who had made the move.

Kogure's eyes revealed calmness, as if he had anticipated this scene and was able to stop the turmoil in time.

Willie Farley really wanted to teach Zebei a lesson, so he was naturally unwilling to be stopped.

So he twisted his arm forcefully, trying to break free from Kogure's grasp.

However, Kogure's hand gripped his elbow like an iron clamp, making it difficult for him to move.

As Zebei breathed a sigh of relief, he extended his middle finger and gave Willie Farley an international gesture.

This time, Willie Farley struggled even harder.

Kogure finally understood why Sawakita always got beaten up by his senior.

This guy's mouth is like it's been blessed.

Not to mention Willie Farley, even his fists were itching to punch him.

"Fuck, yellow-skinned..."

Willie Farley unleashed a torrent of profanity, activating his racial mode.

In this era, Asians had a very low social status in America, even at the bottom of the social hierarchy, let alone in the basketball arena.

In the world of basketball, it has always been dominated by white players and Ni Ge (a nickname for a player), and Asians have yet to prove themselves.

Keep in mind that Yao Ming is currently only a junior high school student.

However, since the other party has already activated their race mode, Kogure naturally won't let them get away with it.

Kogure gripped Willie Farley's arm tightly, and with a swift kick of his right leg, he struck the man below the knee.

With Willie Farley's right foot losing its footing, Kogure skillfully used judo techniques to execute a clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, taking advantage of his opponent's unsteady center of gravity.

bang~
With a dull thud, Willie Farley's body crashed heavily to the floor.

Excruciating pain coursed through his limbs and bones; Willie Farley's face was contorted with agony, and his mind went completely blank.

At that moment, Willie Farley felt as if he were seeing his great-grandmother.

In that instant, Willie Farley was rendered incapacitated.

Upon seeing this, the Farragut players watching all gasped in shock.

Garnett couldn't help but shrink back, as it reminded him of that night.

In this brutal era, you have to be prepared to fight while playing sports in order to protect yourself.

In the minds of most Slam Dunk fans, Aota Tatsuhiko is ranked number one in the Slam Dunk fighting rankings.

Kogure would naturally not let such a good resource slip by.

Over the past two years, he has occasionally sought advice from Aota Tatsuhiko.

With his extraordinary physical abilities and learning capacity, Kogure learns very quickly, which amazes Tatsuhiko Aota, who wants Kogure to join the judo club.

Unfortunately, Kogure was already the star player of Shohoku's basketball team at that time, and Aota Tatsuhiko couldn't poach him, so the matter eventually came to nothing.

In this brutal era, you'll have to be prepared to fight while playing sports, so you can better protect yourself.

In the ranking of fighting in Slam Dunk, Aota Tatsuhiko is basically ranked first.

Kogure naturally wouldn't let such a valuable resource slip by. So, he would occasionally seek advice from Aota Tatsuhiko.

With his extraordinary physical abilities and learning capacity, Kogure learns very quickly, which amazes Tatsuhiko Aota, who wants Kogure to join the judo club.

Unfortunately, Kogure was already the star player of Shohoku's basketball team at that time, and Aota Tatsuhiko couldn't poach him, so the matter eventually came to nothing.

Willie Farley finally recovered and struggled to get up from the ground.

bang~
Kogure kicked him to the ground.

Willie Farley screamed and stared at Kogure in panic.

Meanwhile, the Farragut players all looked at Kogure with awe.

Because Willie Farley was the strongest among them, he couldn't even withstand a single move from Kogure.

Kogure placed his right foot on Willie Farley, looked down at him, and said, "Apologize!"

Kogure's voice was filled with an undeniable seriousness.

Race has always been a sensitive and complex topic.

When it comes to racial issues, Kogure naturally wants to protect his rights.

Therefore, when Willie Farley's words and actions touched on racial sensitivities, Kogure did not hesitate to stand up and demand that he apologize for his inappropriate behavior.

Willie Farley turned his head away without saying a word, clearly not wanting to apologize.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, Coach Stephen finally arrived.

"coach!"

Kogure calmly and respectfully recounted what had just happened.

Even though he might face punishment, he remained steadfast in his principles.

On matters of principle, we will never waver!
Coach Stephen felt a headache coming on when he heard about racial issues, especially since he really valued Kogure.

To avoid escalating the situation, Coach Stephen said in a serious tone, "Willie Farley, apologize to Kogure and Sawakita immediately, or I will kick you out of the team."

Willie Farley was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that Coach Stephen, who usually had high hopes for him, wouldn't be on his side.

So... love can disappear!
Under Coach Stephen's watchful eye, Willie Farley couldn't withstand the pressure and finally bowed his head.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Kogure only withdrew his right foot after Willie Farley apologized.

Coach Stephen was fairly fair and did not punish Kogure and Sawakita for this.

At the same time, after learning the final result of the bullfight, he valued Zebei even more.

This turn of events wasn't without its benefits; it could even be described as making an example of someone.

This can be seen from the awe in the eyes of the Farragut players when they look at Kogure.

Even Garnett, known for his 'iron-blooded' nature, wouldn't dare offend Kogure.

After this incident, the Farragut players resumed their daily training.

The morning was spent training with Kogure and the others.

In the afternoon, Coach Stephen began to explain some tactical principles in detail so that each player could understand their role in the tactics.

High school teams tend to focus more on individual players and their tactics are mostly basic, but college teams are different.

Kogure and Sawakita were very familiar with these basic tactics.

On the contrary, some muscular but simple-minded guys like Ni Ge were slow to understand, which angered Coach Stephen.

After the explanation, the players were divided into two groups and began practicing tactics.

Throughout the match, Coach Stephen constantly corrected their mistakes on the sidelines.

As time went on, the players gradually adapted and began to prepare for the Chicago high school league that was coming soon.
