Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 432 The Three Horsemen of Farragut
In this highly anticipated showdown, Farragut Academy emerged victorious with an overwhelming advantage.

After the game ended, the entire stadium was filled with cheers.

Farragut fans cheered and celebrated this historic victory.

This is the first time in recent years that they have defeated St. Lawrence High School by such a large margin.

Among them, Kogure's performance was particularly outstanding.

He not only scored frequently on offense, but also severely shut down St. Lawrence's point guard and core player.

Kogure's outstanding performance once again proved that he was not a flash in the pan, which greatly reduced the doubts about him from the outside world.

More and more people are now beginning to believe that Kogure truly possesses extraordinary strength.

However, given Kogure's skin color, completely eliminating prejudice and skepticism will undoubtedly be a daunting task.

In America, basketball has always been considered a sport for Black and white people, and Asians have yet to prove themselves in the sport.

Therefore, it is far more difficult for Kogure to earn a place for himself in basketball than for white or black people.

In a post-match interview, Coach Stephen praised Kogure's performance, considering him the biggest contributor to the victory.

In the interview, Coach Stephen stated that Farragut Academy has officially welcomed its third coach.

Thus, the nickname "Faragate's Three Musketeers" began to spread like wildfire.

The three carriages were driven by Kogure, Ronnie Fields, and Garnett.

As for Eiji Sawakita, he is naturally not included.

Although Zebei demonstrated his ability in these two matches, it was not to an amazing degree.

He also needs to adapt to the new rhythm and environment of the game in order to perform better in the game.

In addition, Zebei also faces an important challenge: changing his playing style.

At Farragut Academy, he could not have the same degree of freedom as he did at Sannoh Industries.

Because at Farragut Academy, he was merely a role player.

He needs to redefine his place and how to contribute within limited opportunities.

Farragut Academy has no shortage of scorers; whether it's Kogure, Ronnie Fields, or Garnett, their scoring ability is no less than his.

For this reason, Sawakita specifically sought advice from Kogure.

Kogure believes that Farragut Academy lacks a 3D player and hopes that Sawakita can become such a player.

3D players, who possess both three-point shooting and defensive abilities, are an indispensable part of modern basketball tactics.

Zebei has the potential to become a 3D player. His athleticism, shooting and defense are excellent. The only thing he lacks is his off-ball movement ability!

Even if you can't develop off-the-ball movement, you can still create space for your teammates on offense.

Of course, Kogure still hopes that Sawakita can master the skill.

To improve Sawakita's off-ball movement, Kogure specifically designed a training plan for him.

Zebei had to accept the reality and, in order to seek better development, began to actively change himself.

Shortly after defeating St. Lawrence High School, Kogure's name finally appeared on ESPN's latest high school player rankings.

After playing only two games, he ranked 33rd, officially becoming a four-star high school student.

If Kogure maintains this performance, he'll likely become a five-star high school student very soon. The high school league continues, and Farragut Academy's performance is particularly noteworthy.

Kogure's performance was as outstanding as ever. Under his leadership, Farragut Academy not only won consecutive victories, but also won each game with an overwhelming advantage.

In addition, Farragut Academy's playing style is explosive, often contributing goals worthy of being in the top five, leaving the audience in awe.

Not only Kogure, but also Ronnie Fields and Garnett possess incredible jumping ability and frequently deliver explosive in-game dunks.

As the competition progressed, the 'Farragut Trio' began to spread throughout the United States, not only in Illinois where Chicago is located.

More and more people are starting to pay attention to this team with unlimited potential, and the discussion about them continues to heat up.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and Farragut Academy had already achieved a 17-game winning streak.

All 17 matches ended in resounding victories for Farragut Academy, with no opponent able to stop their advance.

Kogure's performance remained consistently strong, averaging a near triple-double of 28 points, 15 assists, and 9.5 rebounds per game.

During this period, Kogure also made an amazing performance by contributing triple-doubles in seven consecutive games.

Kogure's outstanding performance has made him a key target for other teams to study and defend against.

However, in the high school league, Kogure is a truly max-level character.

In the words of 16-year-old gOat, no one could stop him back then!
The difference is that gOat plays very pragmatically, while Kogure is truly unstoppable.

No matter what measures the opposing team took, Kogure's all-around performance left them bewildered.

The key is that Farragut Academy's roster is indeed very strong, equivalent to the future Heat Big Three.

Farragut Academy's winning streak was not solely due to Kogure's outstanding performance; Ronnie Fields and Garnett also made significant contributions.

其中，罗尼·菲尔茨30+5+5，加内特20+15+5。

The Big Three combined for 80 points, 30 rebounds, and 25 assists per game!

This is the Farragut trio!
As the winning streak continued, Farragut Academy even attracted widespread attention and discussion across the United States.

Fans are starting to wonder if they can break more records, or if any team can end Farragut Academy's winning streak.

During this period, Kogure's ranking on ESPN continued to rise, and in the latest issue, he even entered the top ten, officially becoming a five-star high school student.

In addition, Kogure received many university offers, most notably from North Carolina and Duke.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant!

In the next game, although Farragut Academy continued their winning streak, Garnett unfortunately twisted his ankle during a fierce confrontation and will need to rest for two weeks.

This sudden injury has plunged the entire team into worry.

Garnett is not only the team's center, but also their defensive anchor and offensive core in the paint. His absence will inevitably have a huge impact on the team's offensive and defensive systems.

In this situation, Coach Farragut's staff began actively searching for replacements in hopes of mitigating the impact of Garnett's absence.

Unexpectedly, Kogure volunteered to the coaching staff to play center.

His reasoning was sound; he had played center forward many times and believed that no one on the team could surpass him.

Zebei expressed his strong agreement with this.
