Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 53 Green Tights

"Mitsui, try it on and see if it fits?"

In the Shohoku basketball hall, Murasakibara handed the overalls to Mitsui with a smile.

When the time came, Mitsui couldn't help but hesitate.

Mu Mu smiled and said, "Mitsui, you don't want to regret it, do you?"

"How can it be!"

Mitsui retorted subconsciously.

Mu Mu smiled evilly and said, "Mitsui, you must accept the loss!"

"Damn it, I'll remember this time, I'll definitely defeat you next time!"

Mitsui gritted his teeth, took the overalls, and walked into the locker room.

Soon, Mitsui followed closely and came out.

As Murasakibara expected, the overalls fit him perfectly, except that the two white straps seemed a little loose, giving him a funny feeling.

"Ha ha!"

As soon as he saw the image of Mitsui, Mu Mu couldn't help but combine the image of Mitsui with that of Brother Kun.

You know what, they look quite alike!
During this period, Mitsui still had a middle-parted hairstyle, a delicate face, fair skin, and a more neutral look.

"Mitsui, overalls really suit you!"

Mu Mu stopped laughing and gave him a compliment.

"Asshole, do you want to eat oil cakes?"

Mitsui stared at Mugure fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Mugure, whoever loses next time will wear a green tights!"

Green tights?
Isn't this the exclusive clothing for the 'precious beast' father and son?
It’s quite exciting to think about it!

Mu Mu waved his hand and responded with a smile: "Then it's decided. However, green tights are hard to find!"

At his rate of improvement, the longer the time interval, the lower Mitsui's chances of winning.

"Don't worry, I'll order a set! No more talking, just keep training!"

Mitsui learned from his mistakes and then became brave enough to pick up the basketball and continue to practice the European step.

Mitsui was not used to playing basketball wearing only overalls, especially the white straps on both sides of his shoulders, which kept slipping off, making him feel very annoyed.

Mitsui tried to adjust the belt tighter to make sure the two belts would not slip off again.

Unfortunately, these two white belts cannot be adjusted at all.

Mitsui didn't know that when Murasakibara bought the overalls, he specifically asked the store to increase the length of the two white belts.

"Did you do this on purpose or by accident?"

Mitsui frowned and glared at Murasakibara fiercely.

"Mitsui, come on!" Murasakibara waved his hand and continued to practice ground passes.

His ground pass is about to qualify!
Mitsui took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but the turmoil in his heart was difficult to calm.

Despite this, Mitsui managed to adapt.

It didn't take long for Mitsui to find some tricks and the two straps no longer slipped off so frequently.

Murasaki turned his head to look at Mitsui and nodded approvingly.

It seemed like he was playing a prank, but in fact he was trying to test Mitsui's will.

Although Mitsui is strong, he still has a long way to go in terms of psychological quality.

Now he is not the fiery man in the plot years, and there are still certain flaws in his state of mind.

In addition, he also wants Mitsui to integrate into the team faster.

On the first day of club activities, Mitsui was admitted to the hospital. It can be said that Mitsui and the team had no running-in at all.

Tomorrow is the match against Tsukushige Kusanagi, and after that is the joint final, so there is no time to get used to each other.

Mitsui wants to integrate into the team faster and it would be best if he could further increase his teammates' impression of him.

Before I knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

When the bell rings, it symbolizes the beginning of club activities.

Since Murasakibara joined the Shohoku team, the entire team's mental outlook has been completely changed.

When the Xiangbei team won the top eight in the county competition, the morale of the Xiangbei players increased significantly, and their attitude during training became noticeably more positive.

So after school, many Xiangbei players almost ran into the basketball hall, eager to start training. As soon as they entered the gym, Xiangbei players heard the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor and the sound of basketballs rubbing against the nets.

"Sure enough, Mu Mu is still so hardworking!"

"Hey, why is there another person?"

……

The eyes of the Xiangbei players subconsciously focused on Mitsui. This figure from behind seemed inexplicably familiar.

"Mitsui!"

At the first moment, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kuma Yamamoto and Jiro Tanaka, who were also from Takeishi Junior High School, quickly recognized Mitsui.

Mitsui is discharged from the hospital!
This is their first reaction.

The team is stronger!
This was their second reaction.

Hearing the noise behind him, Mitsui turned around with a smile on his face and wanted to greet them.

As luck would have it, when Mitsui turned around, the white belt on his right shoulder slipped off again.

When everyone saw Mitsui's outfit, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and then their cheeks puffed up, as if they were trying hard to suppress something.

puff~
Jiro Tanaka was the first to break his composure and laughed out loud.

His laughter seemed to be contagious, and the other Xiangbei players also laughed along.

The teammates seemed to have seen something funny and were laughing so hard that they were almost out of breath.

Even Akagi, who is known for his seriousness, couldn't help laughing and almost cried.

Suddenly, strong laughter broke out in the stadium.
It felt like Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly shaved his head, and today, Mitsui's overalls achieved the same effect.

"Asshole, it's just suspenders, what's so funny about that!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, veins bulged on Mitsui's forehead and he looked very unstable.

Nobuhiko Okamoto tried hard to hold back his laughter and asked, "Mitsui, this pair of overalls really suits you, haha!"

After saying this, Nobuhiko Okamoto couldn't help laughing again.

He never expected that Mitsui, who had just been discharged from the hospital, would appear in the basketball hall in such a non-mainstream outfit.

Ikeda Yuho suppressed her laughter and asked, "Mitsui, why are you dressed like this today?"

Mitsui spread out his hands and said reluctantly: "The price of losing in a one-on-one duel with Muguro!"

"I didn't expect that you would lose too!"

Ikeda Yuho sighed for a moment, then smiled brightly.

As the captain of the team, the stronger the team is, the happier he is!
In addition, this year is his last year and he doesn't want to have any regrets.

"Okay, everyone, stop laughing. Now that Mitsui has returned to the team, we must speed up our running-in and strive to reach the joint finals!!"

Under the stern gaze of Yuho Ikeda, the Shohoku players stopped one after another.

They also really want the team to go one step further and reach the joint finals.

At this time, Murasakibara came to Mitsui with a jersey.

"Mitsui, this is the jersey the team reserved for you, change into it!" Murasakibara smiled and handed the jersey with the number 14 printed on it to Mitsui.

This is the jersey that the team specially reserved for Mitsui.

"Mumu!"

Mitsui took the jersey and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He looked at Murasakibara with gratitude in his eyes.

"Put it on!"

"Ok!"

Mitsui nodded vigorously. He knew exactly what Murasakibara meant, which was that he didn't have to play basketball in overalls all day anymore.

"Look, he's even grateful to me!"

Watching Mitsui walk into the locker room, Murasakibara's mouth corners unconsciously rose up and almost twisted.

When Mitsui appeared on the court wearing the No. 14 jersey, the Xiangbei players burst into warm applause to welcome his return.

Mitsui began to integrate into the team and quickly got along with his teammates.

The only thing that disappointed him was that Coach Anxi missed the team's daily training again today.

The Xiangbei players have become accustomed to this situation. Captain Yuho Ikeda has completely taken over the responsibilities of coach and organized the players to carry out daily training.
