Evaluation: Weak team starting lineup

Note: Attributes below 50 will not be displayed!
With the crossover step advancing again, Murasakibara's ball control and speed improved again, and his explosive power attribute was unlocked.

"Could it be possible that upgrading the crossover step can also improve the explosive power attribute?"

Mu Mu thought to himself, but when you think about it, it makes sense, the crossover step does require great explosive power.

In addition, Murasakibara's evaluation has changed. He has been promoted from a substitute in a weak team to a starter in a weak team, and his strength has undergone a qualitative change.

"It's not enough, I have to work harder!"

Murasakibara quickly calmed down his inner excitement. If he wanted to lead Shohoku to go further, it would not be enough to rely solely on the strength of the starting lineup of a weak team.

Not to mention starting for a weak team, even if you start for a strong team, if you are not lucky enough to draw a strong team, you may be eliminated in the first round.

Call ~
Murasaki took a few deep breaths and did not continue training because his condition had changed to exhaustion.

It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise when you are tired, otherwise you will not only be prone to injury, but your training efficiency will also be greatly reduced.

Once the human body feels tired, it means that various aspects of the body's functions are in a state of decline, including the decline of functions of certain organs, such as the lungs and heart. If you continue to exercise, it will increase the cardiopulmonary load, causing varying degrees of heart failure and lung failure, and even lead to myocardial cell ischemia and hypoxia, and even sudden death.

In addition, if you want to continue to upgrade the cross step, you need a full 500 proficiency points.

Even if the speed of the cross-step is increased again, it will still take five or six hours.

"eat first!"

After his heart rate returned to normal, Mu Mu sat under the shade of a tree and took out his lunch box from his backpack.

The lunch box has good insulation effect, and the food inside is still warm.

"If you want to become stronger quickly, the easiest way is to acquire more skills!"

While eating, Mu Mu thought that Coach Anzai was very irresponsible at this stage. He was not at the basketball court every other day and he might not be able to meet him.

In this case, a replacement must be found.

"It's up to you!"

Murasaki clapped his hands and had a suitable candidate in mind.

Considering his passion for basketball and his age, there is a good chance that he has the skills.

The question is, why should the other party teach him?
"How will you know if you don't try!"

Murasaki decided to give it a try since it wouldn't cost him any meat.

After dinner, Murasakibara did not continue training, but walked towards the commercial street.

Not long after, Mu Mu arrived at the door of a shoe store.

This is a sneaker store with various brands of sneakers displayed in the window, such as Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse, etc.

Among them, the AJ7 that his father gave him came from this shoe store.

When Mu Mu opened the door, a fresh fragrance mixed with the scent of leather wafted into his nose.

"welcome!"

The middle-aged boss with a mustache showed his signature smile and warmly welcomed Mu Mu.

That’s right, he is the store manager with a mustache.

As the owner of a shoe store, the manager with a small mustache was the first to notice the AJ7 on Murasakibara's feet.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be the son of last night's guest. Is it possible that your sneakers don't fit? Or do you want to change to a different style?"

The mustache store manager obviously still remembers the scene when Murasaki's father bought sneakers for him.

Mu Mu shook his head and said, "This pair of sneakers fits me perfectly. I like them very much."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the mustache store manager's face became even brighter.

"That's good. This pair of sneakers is the most popular style in our store. It's very suitable for young people like you." Murasakibara felt the sincerity of the mustache-faced store manager.

Only then did he have time to take a closer look at the shoe store.

There are many posters of NBA players on the wall, mainly Jordan, as well as the four big centers, Magic, "King of Force", Flying Pig, Postman, Glider, General and other stars.

In the most conspicuous position, he found a group photo of the Minowa High School basketball team, with a certificate of honor hanging next to it.

In this photo, the teenage store manager with a mustache is wearing the No. 6 jersey and standing next to the coach.

Judging from his position, the mustache captain has a very high status in the team. He may be the team's ace or the second-in-command.

At this time, Mu Mu looked at the certificate of honor again.

Kanagawa Prefecture High School Competition Runner-up!

"15 years ago, our Minowa High School lost to Kainan High School by one point in the county competition!"

At the side, the voice of the mustache store manager sounded, his voice full of regret.

That year, it was his last shot.

Unfortunately, the shot missed!

This has always bothered him and filled him with regret, as that was the closest he had ever been to winning the county championship.

"It was also from that year that Hainan High School started to dominate the county competition and has won the county championship for 15 consecutive years, so it is also known as the King of Hainan!"

The store manager with a small moustache recalled his youthful days.

By the way, in his memory, there happened to be a player from Hainan High School who looked very similar to Maki Shinichi.

The case is solved, Sakuragi was right, Shinichi Maki is actually a middle-aged man!

"Manager, you should have participated in the national competition, right?"

Since Minowa High School won the runner-up in the county competition, it means that the mustache store manager may have participated in the national competition that year.

Of course, the national competition system 15 years ago might have been different, and Kanagawa Prefecture might not have had two places as it does now.

"Well, it's a pity that we were eliminated in the top 16 in the country. Minowa High School was unlucky to meet the champion of that year, Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School!"

When he said this, the mustache store manager couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for the encounter with Hakata University of Commerce affiliate, the team would have had a good chance of going further.

The affiliated school of Hakata University of Commerce is one of the teams that has won the most national championships.

At the same time, Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School is also the team most likely to win the national championship in the plot year.

Of course, Takehiko Inoue did not say which team it was, he only said that the champion had never appeared in the comics, and there was no description of it.

Since Hainan High School won the national runner-up, it means that the championship was won by the team on the right side of the match table.

Among them, there are three teams most qualified to win the championship, namely Daiei College, Meiho College and Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated College.

Among them, Daiei's strength is not much stronger than Touou, probably only at the top four level in the country, and it is almost impossible for it to become the champion.

As for Meiho Industries, in an interview, Takehiko Inoue once refuted the rumor. He said that the national champion was not Meiho Industries, and he would be very disgusted if Meiho Industries won the championship because Meiho Industries is the kind of team that only relies on the talents of its players, which is not the image of a champion in his mind.

First of all, looking at the match comparison table, Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated School is a seeded team like Sanno, and was the runner-up last year.

Secondly, Hakata University of Commerce is from Fukuoka Prefecture, and its prototype is Fukuoka University Affiliated Ohori, a traditional powerhouse in Japanese high school basketball. During the SD serialization period, this team defeated Noshiro Industry, the prototype of Sanno, and won the national championship. Inoue Takehiko may have referred to this experience.

This is why the Hakata University of Commerce Affiliated Club is the team most likely to win the national championship in the plot year.

Of course, the basketball is round, and it is possible that a dark horse like Shohoku will emerge in the right area, or Daiei College may unexpectedly win the national championship.

At this time, Mu Mu pretended to be respectful and said: "Then you must be very powerful!"

"No, no! That was all in the past." The store manager with a mustache touched the back of his head embarrassedly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Do you still play basketball now?"

"Alas, since I graduated from college, I have been busy with work and rarely touch the ball."

The mustached store manager looked a little lonely.

"But if you're free someday, we can play ball together!"

Looking at the basketball that Murasakibara was holding, the mustache-filled store manager couldn't help but look eager to try, as if he was itching to try it out.

"Is it okay now?"

Murasakibara couldn't wait to see the strength of the mustache store manager and see if he had mastered the skills that were in line with the learning mechanism.
