Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 70 Chief Power Forward

"Mitsui, what an accurate shot!"

"Mumu, you're still the best at passing it!"

The two men praised each other's business, then smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Soon, the Xiangyang team launched another attack.

As soon as Fujima crossed the half court with the ball, Murasakibara immediately came up to him, which obviously increased the intensity of the confrontation and made him feel very uncomfortable.

For a moment, Fujima was a little anxious.

Fujima did not realize that he was facing only a lightweight confrontation.

When he plays against Hainan High School, he will face a heavyweight opponent. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable he will feel.

Fujima tried to find a breakthrough, but Murasakibara refused to give him an easy chance to score.

Under the high-intensity confrontation, his movements were inevitably distorted.

As a last resort, Fujima had to signal Taro Aso to set a pick and roll.

Taro Aso understood Fujima's intention and quickly stepped forward to block Murasakibara for Fujima.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fujima shook off Murasakibara and appeared in the left corner area.

Yuho Ikeda immediately switched defense and rushed towards Fujima, trying to block his breakthrough route.

Fujima's pace slowed down noticeably, and just when Ikeda Yuho thought he had succeeded, the opponent made a back-to-the-basket pass, and the basketball fell accurately into the hands of Taro Aso who was cutting to the basket.

Without hesitation, Taro Aso knocked back Murasakibara who was switching defense, jumped high, and made a tomahawk dunk.

Bang~
There was a loud bang and Taro Aso was hanging on the basket.

As Kanagawa's top power forward, Taro Aso is known for his explosive physical fitness and offensive skills.

Compared with Watanabe Masayasu of the Buri team, the two have similar overall strength, but they have different focuses.

Aso is a top-notch attacker and a top-notch defender.

Masayasu Watanabe is just the opposite, with first-rate offense and top-notch defense.

However, offense is always more attractive than defense, which is why Taro Aso became the top power forward in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The next moment, the Xiangyang cheerleading team seemed to be energized by the wonderful cooperation between the core players inside and outside the team, and burst into extremely loud cheers.

It was Shohoku's turn to attack, and Murasakibara dribbled the ball forward.

Fujima was on full alert, one step away from Murasakibara, guarding against both shots and breakthroughs.

Using an extremely skillful cross step, Murasakibara easily broke through Fujima's defense.

Fujima turned around and chased back, trying to catch up with Murasakibara, but Murasakibara's footsteps were unpredictable, making Fujima feel elusive.

Seeing that Murasakibara was about to shoot, Junichiro Nozawa hurried forward, ready to do a double-ghost shot with Fujima.

Murasakibara was unusually calm. He did not force a shot but chose to pass the ball.

Junichiro Nozawa only felt a chill in his crotch, and the basketball went straight into his small door.

Murasakibara's pass was just right, and the basketball bounced on the floor and was passed accurately into Akagi's hands.

His ground pass has reached level 5, with just the right accuracy and strength.

Akagi didn't even need to make any adjustments. He caught the ball, jumped, and slammed it into the basket.

Bang~
Akagi's gorilla dunk once again boosted the morale of the Xiangbei team.

Not far away, Taro Aso shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to make up for the defense, but when the initiative has been lost, making up for the defense will not only be useless, but it is likely to result in a foul.

In the following games, the competition between Murasakibara and Fujima on the court was like a tit-for-tat, and every round was full of gunpowder.

The duel between the two attracted the attention of everyone present and became the focus of the game.

For the audience, the more intense the game, the more they like it.

As a result, voices cheering for the two could be heard from time to time in the gymnasium.

Fujima has excellent organizational skills and accurate passing skills. He can always find a breakthrough quickly, tear open the opponent's defense with surgical precision, and assist his teammates to score easily. In Mumu's opinion, Fujima's organizational and passing attributes are likely to be no less than 90.

When it comes to offensive techniques alone, Fujima is truly impeccable.

His main shortcoming is that his body is too thin and his ability to fight is poor, which is also the main reason why Maki Shinichi can always suppress him.

Basketball is a confrontational sport, and the importance of confrontation is unquestionable.

Although Murasakibara does not have as good organizational and passing skills as Fujima, he has sharp breakthrough ability.

As long as he breaks through the defense and disrupts the opponent's defensive layout, he will have the opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates in open positions, helping them get easy scoring opportunities.

Among them, Mitsui was in extremely hot form, and Mu Muguang got several assists from him.

Therefore, Murasakibara's assist data is not much inferior to Fujima's.

Of course, if there is no one to help defend, assist or even double-team him, he can still score by himself.

Murasaki's versatility makes him almost unstoppable on the court.

The outstanding performances of the two players obviously won wide praise from the fans, but judging from the data, Murasakibara was slightly better.

With half a minute left in the first half, both of them began to breathe heavily.

"This guy is too clingy, like a piece of taffy. If he plays like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to play the entire second half."

During the Shoyo team's attack, Fujima was entangled by Murasakibara and was in great pain.

Murasakibara not only likes confrontation, but also likes to do whatever he wants to him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, these are all within the rules!
Fujima said he had never met such a clingy player!

Murasaki: Well, you saw it today!

As his physical strength was lost, Fujima's breakthrough success rate and shooting accuracy showed a downward trend.

slap~
At the moment when Fujima was distracted, Murasakibara took the opportunity to steal the ball and ran down quickly with the ball.

"not good!"

Fujima reacted immediately, and chased after him desperately, and soon caught up with Murasakibara.

However, Murasakibara stopped and gave Fujima a smile as bright as the sun.

Fujima's breathing became louder, and he felt like he was being walked by a dog.

Murasakibara controlled the ball steadily by moving sideways, delaying time while observing the positions of his teammates.

At this time, there were 20 seconds left until the end of the first half, so Murasakibara would naturally not give Shoyo team a chance for a final attack.

Time passed minute by minute, and Fujima seemed to see through Murasakibara's plan. He wanted to grab the ball, but was afraid of being broken through by the opponent, so the situation became deadlocked.

When there were only five seconds left in the first half, Murasakibara finally moved.

He quickly took a step forward with his right foot, preparing to break through with the ball.

Fujima subconsciously took a step back, trying to block Murasakibara's breakthrough route.

However, at this moment, Murasakibara retracted his right foot and made a step-back jump shot.

This series of actions caught Fujima off guard.

Fujima only had time to jump on the spot and try his best to distract Murasakibara's sight.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful parabola and went into the net.

At the same time, the whistle sounded to end the first half.

44:39
After Murasakibara made this crucial three-pointer, the Xiangbei team gained a 5-point advantage.

Although the advantage is not big, the opponent is the Shoyo team.

"This guy!"

On the side, Fujima was upset about his mistake, but he could only accept this established fact helplessly.

　Thank you all very much for your monthly tickets!
