Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 78: Take the lead (Various requests)

The next day, 2:30 in the afternoon!

Kanagawa Arena!

At this time, the first game was about to come to an end, with the two teams being Hainan High School Affiliated to Hainan and Xiangyang Team.

In this tit-for-tat match, Hainan High School had the upper hand from the very beginning until the end.

88:80
From the beginning to the end of the game, Xiangyang team never had a leading moment.

In this game, Fujima was obviously affected by the previous game and his condition was naturally not very good.

However, Shoyo is a national-level strong team after all, and Taro Aso is in excellent form. Even if they lose the game, the difference between the two sides is still only in single digits.

After being defeated by Hainan High School, the faces of Xiangyang players were extremely ugly, which meant that they were almost eliminated early and lost the hope of competing for tickets to the national competition.

Compared with the Xiangyang players, the Xiangyang coach's face was even more gloomy.

As a private school, Shoyo cannot participate in the summer national competition. He will definitely lose the trust of the Shoyo board of directors and may be fired by the school like Coach Kitano.

"I hope that the organizing committee of this year's national competition can give Kanagawa a play-off spot. However, according to past practice, even if there is a play-off spot, it will be given to the third place in the county competition. No matter what, we must do our best to win the last game!"

Coach Xiangyang silently made up his mind that even if the chances were slim, he would give it a try.

After this game, the next game will be between Xiangbei and Buri.

"It's our turn!"

Players from both teams walked out of the player tunnel together. They looked at each other, and when their eyes met, it was as if sparks of electricity were colliding.

The first thing that Muguro's eyes fell on was the Watanabe brothers.

If you want to defeat Buri, you must limit the performance of the twin brothers.

Unfortunately, he is not an inside player, so he can only hope that Akagi can be stronger and somewhat limit the performance of the Watanabe brothers.

On the other side, the Watanabe brothers stared at Murasakibara with serious eyes.

"I thought he had used up all his energy in yesterday's game, but looking at him, he doesn't seem to be affected at all."

Watanabe Masao was having a headache, he knew very well how powerful Murasakibara was.

What he didn't know was that Murasakibara had cheated yesterday, but he couldn't cheat today, otherwise his mood would have been much better.

On the side, Watanabe Masayasu pointed at Mitsui and said, "On the contrary, Mitsui doesn't look in good condition. Matsumoto, he is left to you. Even if you can't restrict him, you have to consume his physical strength."

Matsumoto Sheng didn't say anything, but looked at Mitsui with eyes full of respect.

"As for Akagi Takenori, his skills are crude. He can't score unless he gets to the basket. Brother, I'll leave him to you!"

Masayasu Watanabe has full confidence in his brother. After all, Masao Watanabe is ranked among the top three centers in the country.

Masao Watanabe took a deep breath, as if he was carrying a heavy responsibility.

He looked firmly at his brother Watanabe Masayasu, with unquestionable determination in his tone: "Masayasu, this is our last year in Buri, no matter what, we must win this game!"

"me too!"

Watanabe Masayasu's voice was also full of determination.

This year is a crucial year for the Watanabe brothers. It is also their last chance. They are determined to enter the summer national competition without any regrets.

If they fail again this year, they will never have another chance to prove themselves.

They want to truly stand on the stage of the national competition, not in the form of the Autumn National Games.

When the two teams began to warm up, many spectators left the stands and were soon replaced by other spectators.

The students from Hainan High School and Xiangyang did not leave. They sat in the front row seats arranged for them by the organizing committee, ready to watch the next game.

Before the game started, Murasakibara turned around and looked at the audience and found many familiar faces.

Akagi Haruko trio, Horita Tokuo trio, mustache store manager, Matsui Koji, Kusanagi Shibune, Rukawa Kaede, Ayako...

However, his parents were not present today. "Mitsui, I need your help in this game!"

Murasakibara looked at Mitsui. It was impossible for him to win the game alone.

He is not Milan's little blacksmith, and it is impossible for him to get 81 points no matter how hard he works, at least he can't do it now.

In terms of offense, other people including Akagi may not be counted on, the only one who can be trusted is Mitsui.

"Mumu, I will try my best!"

Mitsui's tone was firm.

However, his face looked a little pale and he obviously had not fully recovered.

There is no way. I just had a match yesterday, and Mitsui played almost the entire game, so his condition would naturally be affected.

Soon, at the referee's signal, the Xiangbei team started to play.

In this game, the Xiangbei team sent out a lineup of Akagi, Yuho Ikeda, Kumamoto, Mitsui and Murasakibara.

This time, Murasakibara will serve as the starting point guard!

Buri High School
Center: Masao Watanabe, 196 cm, 91 kg, third grade.

Power forward: Masayasu Watanabe, 192 cm, 83 kg, third year.

Small forward: Imamura, 182 cm, 74 kg, first grade.

Shooting guard: Matsumoto Masaru, 178 cm, 73 kg, third grade.

Point guard: Koichiro Nohara, 173 cm, 68 kg, sophomore.

In terms of height, except for power forward, there is not much difference in other positions.

The game is about to start, and Rukawa Kaede's eyes are fixed on the court, not relaxing for a moment.

In terms of intensity, the high school county competition joint finals are definitely far superior to the junior high school finals.

This time, Rukawa's main purpose was to cheer for Murasakibara and observe the level of high school basketball.

At this time, Akagi and Watanabe Masao came to the center circle. They looked at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit and determination.

The next moment, the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky.

Akagi and Watanabe Masao leaned forward slightly, their eyes fixed on the basketball, ready to soar into the sky at any time.

When the basketball started to fall, the two of them jumped almost at the same time.

The two have similar height, wingspan and weight, which allows them to touch the ball almost at the same time.

bang~
The basketball was sandwiched between the two people, making a dull sound.

The two men refused to give in and tried to push the basketball towards their own positions, resulting in a stalemate.

Finally, before landing, Watanabe Masao relied on his slight advantage to barely pass the ball to his own point guard.

slap~
As soon as Yukiichiro Nohara received the basketball, Murasakibara rushed forward at an extremely fast speed and completed the steal in an instant.

Murasaki immediately grabbed the basketball and rushed to the front court.

"Oops!"

Yukiichiro Nohara turned around and chased back, but there was a big gap between his speed and explosive power and that of Murasakibara.

For a moment, it was impossible to close the distance.

After this incident, the other Buri players had to stop and return to defense, but it was too late and they could only watch Murasakibara score a layup.

Mu Mu took the lead and scored the first two points.
