Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 73: Opening champagne at halftime?

Fujima was running very fast, and with the team trailing by 13 points, he had to speed up the offensive tempo.

The first thing he noticed was Mu Gu, who was holding his knees and breathing heavily, looking exhausted.

Seeing Fujima approaching, Murasakibara had to straighten his back and walk towards him with seemingly tired steps.

Fujima did not dare to be careless at all. After this period of competition, he had a deep understanding of Murasakibara.

Murasaki's attack is like a kaleidoscope, with rich and varied offensive techniques that are difficult to predict.

He had to admit that in terms of offensive skills alone, Murasakibara was better than him.

As for Murasakibara's organizational level, it can only be described as average, but it also meets the standards of many teams' starting point guards.

However, Murasakibara's defense seemed mediocre.

Although his defensive attitude is very positive, he is clearly lacking in skills and is a typical example of someone who is strong on offense but weak on defense.

Thanks to his quick reaction, Murasakibara did not become a sieve, but it was extremely difficult to limit a player of Fujima's level.

Seeing that Murasakibara's steps had slowed down a lot, after testing for a while, Fujima decisively broke through with the ball.

Murasakibara noticed Fujima's intention, but did not react immediately.

He was going to act out the whole thing, trying to make Fujima believe that he could hardly move.

So he deliberately slowed down his pace, allowing Fujima to break through easily.

After Fujima completed the breakthrough, Murasakibara quietly hung behind him, like a lurking cheetah, without making any sound, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come.

Fujima didn't hear any noise and thought he had left Murasakibara far behind, so he prepared to end the attack with his signature jump shot.

"careful!"

Suddenly, Taro Aso's anxious voice sounded.

Fujima's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to take back the basketball, but it was too late.

The moment he passed the ball, Murasakibara suddenly accelerated and made a steal, cleverly pushing the ball out of Fujima's hands.

"Oops!"

Fujima instinctively wanted to grab the lost ball back, but Murasakibara grabbed the basketball first like an arrow from a bow.

Then, Murasakibara slightly raised his buttocks to avoid Fujima's interception.

The next moment, Murasakibara dribbled the ball and rushed quickly towards the frontcourt.

Fujima followed closely behind, and he chased desperately to try to save the situation.

What surprised Fujima was that Murasakibara could still burst out with such a fast speed, which was not inferior to the beginning of the game.

This was not the performance expected of a player who was exhausted.

"Damn it, I got tricked!"

At this point, Fujima didn't understand.

Thinking about how he had just been fooled by Murasakibara, Fujima gritted his teeth in anger, his three corpse gods jumped into a rage, and he chased even harder.

After rushing into the three-point line, Murasakibara slowed down slightly and started taking three steps.

"One, two... now!"

Fujima counted silently in his mind and prepared to jump up to block the shot.

The next moment, the two of them jumped up almost at the same time.

In mid-air, Fujima slapped the basketball hard, but was avoided by Murasakibara with a deft pull-up move, and his right hand finally hit Murasakibara's ball-protecting hand.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded.

Murasaki tried his best to maintain his body balance, and even though his vision was blocked, he still threw the ball based on his feeling.

The basketball rolled around on the rim and finally fell in unwillingly.

shuh~
Hearing the friction sound of the basketball going through the net, Mu Mu smiled as warm as the sun.

However, such a smile was so dazzling to Fujima.

Hu~hu~
At this moment, Fujima was breathing heavily, unable to hide the fatigue on his face. The intense chase just now had further reduced his already scarce physical strength.

He felt mixed emotions, surprised at Murasaki's condition and upset at his recent mistake.

Hua Hua Hua~
At this time, thunderous cheers broke out in the stadium, and many spectators shouted Murasakibara's name loudly.

Murasakibara's wonderful performance just now has completely impressed them.

shuh~
At the free throw line, Murasakibara made the free throw steadily and completed 2+1 again.

Thanks to Murasakibara's heroic performance, in just one minute, the Shohoku team widened the gap to 16 points!
This is definitely a very dangerous number!

beep~
Xiangyang requests a timeout!

"Good job, Mumu!"

When Murasakibara left the court, his teammates excitedly high-fived Murasakibara to celebrate, and everyone seemed extremely excited.

They seemed to see the dawn of victory, and their mentality seemed to have relaxed to a certain extent.

Among them, the pot-bellied Suzuki Ohno took out a bottle of Coke and shook it vigorously, as if he wanted to open it to celebrate.

Murasakibara quickly stopped Suzuki Ohno's behavior.

Opening champagne at halftime is a big taboo on the football field!

Mu Mu immediately put on a stern face and loudly admonished his teammates: "Before the whistle of the end of the game, we must not let our guard down and leave any opportunities for the opponent to take advantage of!"

Mu Mu glanced at his teammates one by one, making the players present feel an unshakable belief.

Although the Xiangbei team led by a full 16 points, it was not an absolutely safe score.

In a basketball game, let alone 16 points, even a higher score can be reversed, especially when the opponent is a strong team like Shoyo.

In the plot year, Sanno Industrial once led Shohoku by as many as 24 points, but was eventually reversed by the opponent.

It would be embarrassing if Xiangyang turned the tables when we were leading by 16 points.

Seeing Mugure's actions, Coach Anzai couldn't help but show an admiring expression, and quickly added: "Mugure-san is right, everything is possible before the end of the game, don't take it lightly, we must stay focused and vigilant until the end of the game."

"Yes, coach!"

The players responded in unison. They were no longer complacent with their temporary lead and became focused again on the game.

"Mumu, can you still hold on?"

Coach Anzai looked at Murasakibara deeply, as if he saw through Murasakibara's disguise.

"Coach, I hope you don't take me off the court before I fall!"

Of course, Murasakibara would not say that his strength had recovered. He didn't want to be sliced.

He continued to pretend to be exhausted and expressed his determination to Coach Anxi.

This is done to further motivate teammates.

Sure enough, the teammates were all infected by Murasakibara's spirit.

Murasakibara set an example, so how could they fall behind?

For a moment, the cohesion of the entire team was invisibly enhanced.

Soon, the pause ends.

Encouraged by the Xiangyang coach, the Xiangyang players regained their fighting spirit.

On the offensive end, they sped up the tempo and coordination, and the players began to run more actively.

On the defensive end, they worked even harder, to the point of fighting for every ball.

Feeling the changes in the team, the depressed mood of the Shoyo cheerleaders and supporters was rekindled, and they began to cheer loudly for the Shoyo team.

Unfortunately, although the Shoyo team improved, they still couldn't narrow the gap because Murasakibara started scoring.

　A super typhoon is approaching, and readers in coastal areas must pay attention to safety!
