Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 68: Switching Hands
During Shoyo's attack, Fujima carried the ball across half court, waiting for his teammates to get into position.

Taro Aso took the initiative to step forward to screen for Fujima, using his broad body to block Nobuhiko Okamoto for Fujima.

Using Taro Aso's cover, Fujima took the opportunity to shake off Nobuhiko Okamoto.

In this situation, Yuho Ikeda had to switch defense.

Unfortunately, Fujima was too fast.

His footsteps were as fast as an arrow from a bow. With just a simple change of direction, he easily broke through his defense.

Just as Akagi tried to make up for the defense, Fujima did not force his way forward, but passed the ball quickly.

Like a precision-guided missile, the basketball flew towards Taro Aso who cut into the basket.

The next moment, Taro Aso jumped high, his body stretched out in the air, his right hand shaped like a tomahawk, and slammed the ball into the basket.

Bang~
As the loud sound of the frame exploding sounded, the entire stadium instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.

Among them, many girls cheered for Fujima, believing that most of the credit for this goal was due to Fujima.

In the audience, listening to the female screams echoing in his ears, Maki Shinichi sighed slowly.

Seeing that Fujima is so popular with girls, Amu can't help feeling a little unbalanced.

As both are freshmen, Amu thinks that his ability is as good as Fujima, but there is a huge gap in their popularity.

Why are the gaps between people so big?
On the side, Takamiya Benyu thought that Maki Shinichi was in trouble, and asked with concern: "Amu, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Shenyi smiled bitterly and said, "Just now a teenager asked me where the toilet is. Do you know how he called me?"

Takamiya Motoyu showed an expression of listening.

"Uncle, he called me uncle!" Mu Shen showed an exasperated expression, then pointed at himself and asked in a state of collapse: "Captain, do I look old?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Truth!"

Takamiya Benyu held his chin with his eyes flickering: "A bit older!"

"Ah, I knew it. I shouldn't have built up this body of muscles. Otherwise, I wouldn't be called uncle by boys a few years younger than me!"

Maki Shinichi looked at his muscular body with an expression of regret.

Takamiya Benyu didn't know what he was thinking of. His body trembled slightly. He tried to suppress his smile and said, "Amu, is there a possibility that the other party calling you uncle has nothing to do with your figure. It may be that you look too mature."

"How is that possible? I'm only two years younger than you. Why do you call me uncle?"

Maki Shinichi couldn't accept this fact and seemed a little hysterical.

I can only say that sometimes the truth is more hurtful than lies!
While the two were 'joking around', the game on the field was still going on.

"Okamoto, ball!"

Mu Mu's voice echoed in the court, and he reached out for the ball.

After knocking Fujima back, Nobuhiko Okamoto immediately passed the ball.

As soon as Murasakibara received the ball, he used his familiar cross step to easily break through Matsushima Ichigo's defense without any hesitation.

Matsushima Ichimo was shaken and almost fell to the ground. He could only watch Murasakibara pass by him.

"His skills are so strong, they seem to be even better than Fujima's!"

After stabilizing his center of gravity, Matsushima Ichimo tried hard to catch up, but he never did.

In terms of speed and explosive power, Murasakibara is superior to Matsushima Ichigo.

Seeing Murasakibara rushing towards them, Junichiro Nozawa wanted to provide backup defense, but Murasakibara made a fake move to pass the ball to Akagi.

So, Junichiro Nozawa subconsciously stopped, mistakenly thinking that Murasakibara was going to pass the ball to Akagi.

Seeing this scene, a sly smile appeared on Mu Mu's face.

He took a sudden step forward, leaning forward slightly, making a seemingly casual throwing motion.

shuh~
The basketball flew high up, and when it fell, it went straight through the basket. A lob is a must-have skill for small players, and it is an effective offensive method for small players to play against bigger players, because the arc is high enough and it is not easy to block.

At this time, Fujima couldn't help but look at Murasakibara, and his eyes became quite eager.

Fujima is not a traditional point guard, he is more like a combo guard.

When Fujima was in his second year of high school, he showed great scoring explosiveness in the game against Touou, scoring 10 points in 20 minutes.

Although Touou's defense was poor, the fact that they scored 20 points in such a short time showed Fujima's offensive ability.

Soon, Fujima dribbled the ball across half court and actively signaled to senior Matsushima to help with the pick-and-roll.

Matsushima Ichito stepped forward to screen in confusion, and Fujima took the opportunity to shake off Okamoto Nobuhiko and got a chance to duel with Murasakibara.

On the sidelines, Yayoi Aida saw this scene and quickly shouted to Nakamura: "Nakamura, this is a showdown between superstars, we must watch carefully!"

"Yes, Ms. Aida!"

Nakamura had a serious expression on his face and was closely watching every move on the field.

On the court, Murasakibara quickly approached Fujima.

Fujima raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he changed direction with the ball, trying to shake off the opponent.

Murasakibara was not confused by Fujima's actions. He quickly moved sideways and stuck to him.

In an instant, the two bodies came into fierce confrontation.

When Murasakibara actively sought confrontation, Fujima's pace became messy and his ball control rhythm was no longer as smooth as before.

"No wonder Amu always has the upper hand when facing Fujima!"

It is obvious that Fujima is weak in confrontation. Once he encounters high-intensity confrontation, his movements may be deformed.

Compared to Fujima, Murasakibara is heavier and stronger.

Murasakibara thought so in his mind, but his hands did not slow down at all. With his extreme reaction speed, he completed the steal in an instant.

After losing the ball, Fujima wanted to get the ball back, but was avoided by Murasakibara in time.

Without waiting for his teammates to get into position, Murasakibara quickly rushed forward with the ball.

Fujima followed closely behind. His speed was faster than Murasakibara's. He wanted to delay Murasakibara's pace, but he could only delay him slightly.

In a breath, when Murasakibara was about to rush into the basket, Shoyo captain Taro Aso finally arrived at the basket.

As the top power forward in Kanagawa Prefecture, Taro Aso has an amazing physical fitness.

Murasakibara jumped up to meet Taro Aso, who raised his hands high and jumped up to block the shot.

Fujima also jumped up, and he and Taro Aso were in a two-man show.

"This ball is played unfairly, it's going to be bad!"

Yayoi Aida seemed to be possessed by Coach Zhang and uttered his famous words.

Just when Taro Aso was about to touch the basketball, Murasakibara suddenly exerted force with his waist and abdomen.

Using his core strength, he did a double-handed pull-up in the air, cleverly avoiding his opponent's block while lightly lifting the ball from between the two people towards the basket.

shuh~
The basketball fell straight into the basket, creating a splash of white netting.

After landing, Murasakibara struck the same pose as Rukawa did after his folding dunk.

"He really dared to shoot, it was going to go in!"

At this moment, Yayoi Aida was startled and shocked beyond words.

The next moment, Murasakibara was immediately surrounded by excited teammates.

Such a difficult pull-up layup greatly boosted the team's morale.
