Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 75 Large Size Two Pairs (First Order Request)

Outside the three-point line, facing Fujima who was ready to fight, Murasakibara swayed left and right and started a series of dazzling dribbling.

As Fujima's center of gravity became unstable, Murasakibara suddenly accelerated and easily broke through the defense.

At this moment, Fujima was exhausted and his steps became heavy, making him unable to keep up with Murasakibara's pace.

puff~
Without waiting for Taro Aso to make up for the defense, Murasakibara made a sudden stop, jumped high, and threw the basketball in his hand into the basket.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

"How much energy does this guy have left?"

Fujima put his hands on his hips and panted, looking at Murasakibara with helplessness in his eyes.

Murasaki's physical strength gave him the feeling of having his health locked. On the surface, he looked exhausted, but in fact, his pace did not slow down at all.

"It looks like Fujima doesn't have much energy left!"

At the same time, Murasakibara clearly felt the change in Fujima's pace, and he decided to take advantage of it.

A minute later, Murasakibara made a comeback.

This time, as soon as Murasakibara crossed the half court, he immediately passed the ball to Mitsui and rushed towards the basket.

Fujima gritted his teeth and chased after him relentlessly.

Due to his heavy steps, he could only barely keep up with Murasakibara's pace.

With the help of Akagi's cover, Murasakibara made a turn and put two body lengths between himself and Fujima.

Mitsui's organizational and passing abilities are no less than those of ordinary point guards, and he passed the ball to Murasakibara as soon as possible.

Murasaki received the ball and jumped up to shoot, the whole set of movements was completed in one go.

Fujima tried his best to interfere, but because they were too far away, the effect was almost useless.

After landing, Murasakibara did not go to see whether the ball went in. He turned around with a confident look on his face.

shuh~
The basketball went into the net, creating a splash of snow-white flowers on the net.

Deafening cheers rang out in the stadium again.

Looking at Murasakibara's back, Fujima couldn't help feeling frustrated.

In this game, he was able to fight back and forth with Murasakibara in the first half, but was completely suppressed by him in the second half.

At this time, the Xiangyang coach came to the sidelines.

He found that Fujima was not in a good condition, and immediately signaled Matsushima Ichito and Fujima to switch defense.

Given Fujima's current condition, if he continues like this, he won't be able to hold on for long.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave the task of defending Murasakibara to other players.

Fujima was really unwilling, but for the team's victory, he had to switch defense with Matsushima Ichiro.

Unfortunately, like Fujima, Matsushima Ichimo was unable to limit Murasakibara's performance.

In the next round, facing Matsushima Ichigo's defense, Murasakibara keenly noticed that the opponent's small door was opened a little wider.

So under his control, the basketball seemed to have life, and it deftly slipped into a small door of a household in Matsushima, thus creating a perfect match between the man and the ball.

Matsushima Ichito felt a chill in his crotch and subconsciously tried to clamp the basketball, but he was still a step too slow.

When he turned around to chase back, Murasakibara had already opened up a distance of more than one meter between him and rushed straight to the basket.

Facing Taro Aso's reinforcement, Murasakibara jumped up without fear.

In mid-air, Murasakibara made a pull-up move, changed hands to avoid being blocked, then turned back to look at the moon and completed an extremely difficult pull-up reverse layup.

beep~
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Taro Aso looked at Murasakibara with envy in his eyes. This guy's body flexibility and core strength are simply the favorite of rich ladies!
This difficult goal not only further expanded the Xiangbei team's lead, but also effectively undermined the opponent's morale.

Murasakibara's scoring pattern continued. Five minutes later, Murasakibara scored 13 points with both breakthroughs and shots.

Thanks to Murasakibara's outstanding performance, the difference between the two sides has exceeded 20 points.

At this moment, the mood of Xiangyang players fell to the bottom!

beep~
In this situation, the Xiangyang coach had to call a timeout again.

He knew very well that if he did not restrict Murasakibara's performance, the team would have no chance of turning defeat into victory.

Coach Xiangyang's eyes slowly swept across the bench, finally stopping on a hedgehog-headed boy.

Hasegawa Kazushi: 186cm, 77kg, first grade!

When he was in junior high school, Hasegawa had fought against Mitsui and was ultimately defeated.

In order to defeat Mitsui, Hasegawa has been practicing hard.

Hasegawa is tall and has long arms, good physical fitness, and excellent defensive awareness.

Of course, he has many flaws. He has no independent offensive ability, no mid-range or long-range shooting skills, and he is still a freshman.

"Hasegawa, you will replace Matsushima in a while. No matter what method you use, you must not let Murasakibara do whatever he wants again!"

"I?"

Hasegawa pointed at himself in disbelief.

No, even Fujima and Senior Matsushima are not opponents of Murasakibara, let alone him.

Not only that, Mitsui, whom he looks up to, can only be the second in command of the Shohoku team. How can you ask him to defend the stronger Murasakibara!
Takenori Akagi:? ? ?
However, Hasegawa did not dare to disobey the coach's order and said, "Coach, I will work hard!"

Hasegawa couldn't help feeling deeply worried at the thought of facing such a powerful opponent.

“I hope he can bring a turnaround for the team!”

Coach Shoyo naturally noticed Hasegawa's nervousness, but he could only try his best to save the situation.

Unfortunately, when the game resumed, perhaps because he was too nervous, Hasegawa was easily defeated by Murasakibara.

In just two minutes, Shoyo coach had to replace Hasegawa again.

If Hasegawa continues to stay on the court, his fighting spirit and confidence will most likely be completely crushed.

Although the hope of turning defeat into victory was very slim, the Xiangyang team did not give up and continued to fight tenaciously.

The Xiangbei team did not let their guard down. They continued to maintain their own rhythm and did not give the opponent any chance to turn the tables.

In every attack, Murasakibara would almost always wait until the last few seconds before taking action.

In addition, Xiangbei also increased its protection of rebounds, giving the Shoyo team no chance to launch a second attack.

After playing steadily and cautiously, the Xiangbei team finally had the last laugh and still held a 16-point lead until the end of the game.

If coach Anxi had not substituted the main players three minutes in advance, the gap between the two sides would have been even higher.

The main reason why he did this was because there was an important game tomorrow and the Xiangbei team had to conserve their energy.

"Won!"

"awesome!"

"We defeated the arrogant Xiangyang team!"...

As the long whistle signaling the end of the game sounded, the Xiangbei players could not suppress the joy and excitement on their faces and broke into deafening cheers.

这场比赛，木暮拿到了41分11助攻5篮板5抢断1盖帽的全面数据，他的得分更是球队总得分的一半之多。

This also allowed his average points per game to improve further, temporarily ranking first in the scoring list.

Throughout the game, Murasakibara's hit rate was as high as 60%, and he did not make a single mistake.

Mitsui also performed very well, making a total of 7 three-pointers in this game, which can not be said to be a bad performance.

Compared with Murasakibara and Mitsui, Akagi's performance was much worse, with only 12 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

There is no way. At this stage, whenever Akagi encounters an inside player with strong confrontation ability, his three-pronged attack will hardly be effective.

It often takes a lot of time for a center to mature.

On the other side, the Xiangyang players stared blankly at the electronic scoreboard, full of disappointment and unwillingness.

This defeat is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Xiangyang team.

After losing this game by a large margin, they are on the brink of elimination.

If they lose one more game, they will completely lose the qualification to compete for the national competition.

In addition, there is another possibility.

Even if they win the next two games, if there are two other teams with the same record of 2 wins and 1 loss, they may be eliminated due to the difference in goal points.

In the audience, the core player of Hainan High School, Takamiya Benyu, said with emotion: "I didn't expect the Xiangbei team to be so strong, especially Mugure Konobu, his strength is not much inferior to mine!"

"Kumure Mitsunobu's ability is enough to serve as the trump card for most teams! Strange, why didn't I pay attention to him at the time?"

Coach Takato folded his paper fan and gave Murasakibara a very high evaluation.

This evaluation is similar to that of Matsumoto Minoru, but the difference is that the person who evaluated Matsumoto Minoru was not Coach Takato, but Masaru Muto.

In addition, Matsumoto Minoru was already in the third grade at the time, so it is impossible to generalize.

"Kumure Mitsunobu was indeed outstanding, but Mitsui's performance should not be ignored. He made 7 three-pointers and was the second hero of Xiangbei's victory!"

Takamiya Motoyu looked at Ikeda Kazuhiro and asked, "Ikeda, what do you think of Akagi Takenori?"

"Akagi Takenori seemed to be in trouble today. He still performed well on the defensive end, but his offensive performance was not good."

Ikeda Kazuhiro paused and said confidently: "He is no match for me!"

"Tomorrow is the second round of the game. Can the Xiangbei team maintain such a good state? It's a pity that the Buri team took advantage of it!"

Takamiya Motoyu's tone was filled with regret.

Continuous battles are a great test for the players' physical and mental fitness, especially since the main players of the Xiangbei team are basically freshmen, and their condition fluctuations, physical energy distribution, and physical reserves are definitely not as good as those of senior players.

Coach Gaotou showed a gorilla-like smile: "However, the condition of Shoyo's main players is also not very good, especially Fujima Kenji. This is also a good thing for us!"

Although Hainan High School also experienced a tough battle, their condition is better than Shoyo, especially their super star Shinichi Maki, who is a complete physical monster.

It is almost certain that Fujima's condition will be affected in tomorrow's game.

Not far away, Buri players were also discussing.

"The Xiangbei team has been making great strides since the preliminaries. Now it seems that this dark horse may really be able to stay dark all the way!"

There was a hint of helplessness and admiration in Watanabe Masao's voice.

The competition in Kanagawa Prefecture was already fierce enough, and now there is another team, Shohoku.

He had never seen a region with more intense competition than Kanagawa, and Kanagawa only had two qualifying spots.

Watanabe Masayasu also expressed dissatisfaction: "Every year, the Tokyo region has three qualifying spots, but last year the best result of Tokyo teams was the top 16 in the country. If these teams were in Kanagawa, I'm afraid they wouldn't even make it to the top four."

Tokyo is also the only region with three places for the national competition.

"Besides that, there is one qualifying spot for the play-offs. I wonder if our Kanagawa team will be eligible to participate in the play-offs this year?"

There are eight teams participating in the play-offs every year, and only the winners can enter the national competition.

However, with the strength of the Kanagawa team this year, as long as they participate in the play-offs, they can almost secure this spot.

"Okay, let's not talk about this!"

Watanabe Masao waved his hand, and then said to a determined young man: "Matsumoto, we need your defense for tomorrow's game."

Watanabe Masao's tone revealed his great trust in Matsumoto Masaru.

Matsumoto Masaru is the defensive stalwart of the Buri team. He has always been responsible for defending the core players of the opposing team.

Of course, due to height reasons, it is limited to outside players.

Matsumoto Masaru's eyes were full of determination and fighting spirit. He said, "Captain, I will go all out tomorrow and try to limit Kogure Konobu's performance."

"No, I'm not talking about Kogure Mitsunobu!" Watanabe Masayasu shook his head, then pointed at the No. 14 player of Xiangbei and said, "It's the junior high school MVP Mitsui Shou!"

"Leave Akagi to me. As long as you can limit Mitsui's performance and prevent him from having any easy chances to score, even if Kogure Konobu is very strong, he will not be able to handle the situation alone!"

"I know, Captain!"

Looking at Mitsui Hisashi's figure, Matsumoto Masaru showed a thoughtful expression.

Soon after, players from both teams lined up and, under the instructions of their coach, shook hands with each other.

During this process, Muguro wanted to communicate with Taro Aso.

Having lost the game, the pain of defeat was still lingering in Taro Aso's heart, which made his expression look very gloomy, and he ignored Murasakibara.

Murasaki shook his head and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​learning low-post footwork from Taro Aso.

Even if he proposed the idea, Taro Aso would not agree, especially since Shoyo had an important game tomorrow.

All I can say is that there are only a very small number of players as open-minded as Kusanagi Shibaune.

"It seems that I can only learn by watching video tapes. I wonder how long it will take?"

Murasaki decided that he would watch more video tapes of the Shoyo team when he returned and learn the low-post footwork as soon as possible.

The videotapes of this era were rather blurry, not as high-definition as those of later generations, and there was no zooming in or zooming in function. Otherwise, the learning progress would have been improved many times over, and would not have been as slow as it is now.

In addition, he is also prepared to watch the remaining two games of the Xiangyang team on site.

Watching the game live will definitely help you learn more than watching a videotape.

However, Shoyo only has two games left, and it is impossible for Taro Aso to use low-post footwork all the time in the game, so the increase in learning progress is relatively limited.

Even if he takes both into account, Murasakibara will still have to spend a lot of time practicing before he can master the low-post footwork in a short period of time.

After leaving the gym, Murasakibara chose to go straight home.

When he was almost home, Murasakibara unexpectedly found two people standing at his door, one of whom was Rukawa Kaede.

In addition to Rukawa Kaede, there is another girl.

Like Rukawa Kaede, she was also wearing the uniform of Toigaoka Junior High School.
