Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 84 Two Skills a Day

After mastering the difficult technique of the fadeaway jump shot, Murasakibara did not immediately go to gain experience, but instead had a technical exchange with Rukawa.

To improve basketball skills, self-discipline is important, but mutual learning and communication between players are equally important. The latter can help players avoid some detours.

Compared to Murasakibara, Rukawa's offensive skills are much worse.

In addition, Rukawa's technical moves on the offensive end need to be improved.

Murasakibara began to patiently correct some of Rukawa's technical details, such as making him more concise and efficient, and reducing some unnecessary and redundant movements.

Under the guidance of Murasakibara, Rukawa began to practice repeatedly, striving to make each technical movement more smooth.

Seeing Murasakibara instructing Rukawa, Mitsui, who was not far away, was worried.

"This kid is already very strong, and now he has Murasakibara to guide him..."

Mitsui was filled with an unprecedented sense of crisis. In order to avoid being defeated by Rukawa in the future, he made a decision.

As someone who has been through this, he knows very well the huge difference between working in isolation and standing on the shoulders of giants.

So, Mitsui decided to shamelessly ask Murasakibara for advice so that his ball-handling skills could be improved.

Of course, everything will have to wait until Rukawa leaves.

After Rukawa's technical moves got on track, Murasakibara began practicing fadeaway jump shots.

In addition to the fadeaway jumper, he also added a turnaround jumper.

These two techniques can be perfectly combined into a turnaround fadeaway jump shot.

In this way, you can improve the proficiency of two skills at the same time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the turnaround fadeaway jump shot will become his killer weapon on the court.

Of course, it takes time to accumulate.

The higher the skill level, the better the scoring stability and efficiency.

[Turnaround jump shot: proficiency +1]

[Fade Away Jump Shot: Proficiency +1]

When it came to one o'clock in the afternoon, Rukawa Kaede reluctantly prepared to go to Toigaoka Junior High School.

It was also at this time that Murasakibara's fadeaway jump shot was finally promoted to level 2.

【Fadeaway jump shot: LV1→LV2】

【CIC: 88-89】

[Explosive power: 88-89]

[Bounce: 78-79]

In addition, the flexibility attribute progress bar also increased significantly.

The higher the attribute, the more difficult it is to improve, especially after the attribute reaches 90.

This means that the fadeaway jump shot can improve four attributes, and at the same time increase proficiency together with the turnaround jump shot, and its cost-effectiveness is not inferior to the step-back jump shot.

Feeling the changes in his body, Murasakibara smiled.

This speed of becoming stronger that can be seen with the naked eye is really addictive.

After improving his fadeaway jump shot, Murasakibara's movements became more efficient, with substantial improvements in balance and stability, not to mention his shooting accuracy.

Mitsui was amazed to see the changes in Murasakibara.

In just a short period of time, Murasakibara not only learned the fadeaway jump shot, but also made great progress.

Such an exaggerated speed of progress made Mitsui feel dizzy.

At the same time, this further strengthened his determination to learn from Murasakibara.

When Murasakibara was resting, Mitsui took the initiative and presented his ideas to Murasakibara.

Murasakibara did not refuse. It was a piece of cake for him. What's more, the stronger the teammates were, the more they could help him share the offensive pressure.

Although the Xiangbei team has shown good potential, objectively speaking, its overall strength is still slightly insufficient.

Judging from the lineup depth and player configuration on paper, Xiangbei is undoubtedly the weakest among the four teams participating in the joint finals.

The Xiangbei team's strength lies in one area, namely the golden duo in the backcourt, but the other three teams should not be underestimated in this regard either.

Hainan High School has three giants, Buri relies on twin towers inside as its pillars, and Xiangyang's combination of inside and outside is outstanding.

In terms of role players and substitute players, Xiangbei is undoubtedly much inferior and its performance is very unstable.

This is also the reason why Murasakibara, Mitsui and Akagi almost have to play the whole game. If they play a game a day, they will inevitably encounter a physical crisis, just like yesterday's game.

"Thank you!" Hearing Murasakibara say this, Mitsui breathed a sigh of relief and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He believes that with Murasakibara's guidance, his ball-handling ability will be greatly improved.

Soon, Murasakibara improved Mitsui's breakthrough skills and then asked him to practice repeatedly.

During the training process, the two did not feel the passage of time.

Club activities did not begin until three o'clock in the afternoon.

This time, Murasakibara did not participate in daily training, but instead took Akagi to Buri High School.

Buri is not far from Xiangbei, only half an hour's drive away.

The Watanabe brothers warmly entertained the two and welcomed them into the campus.

At Buri Basketball Stadium, the two sides exchanged information.

Watanabe Masao took a few glances and felt very satisfied. He then handed the information to Matsumoto Masaru, asking him to study and familiarize himself with Fujima's playing style and habits.

"As agreed, I will now teach you how to play post-up!"

With the idea of ​​teaching both, Watanabe Masao began to teach them the principles and techniques of post-up play.

After demonstrating several times, Masao Watanabe began to let the two try it, while he stood by and patiently corrected their wrong movements.

At first, Murasakibara seemed a little clumsy, but after a while, he showed amazing learning ability and quickly mastered the key points.

Compared with Murasakibara, Akagi is much worse. His movements are stiff and rigid, without much flexibility. He still has a long way to go if he wants to learn how to play one-on-one with his back to the basket.

Watanabe Masao was amazed by Murasakibara's learning ability. In order to further improve Murasakibara's post-up singles skills, he also introduced confrontational exercises, allowing him to practice post-up singles under defense.

[Congratulations on acquiring a new skill - post-up play! ]

As the prompt sounded, Murasakibara gained another skill.

In one day, he acquired two skills.

Although post-up plays are not very useful to him due to his strength and weight, they can be used to improve related attributes.

Once his confrontation skills improve, he can even make post-up shots one of his main scoring methods, just like Jordan and Kobe.

After learning from Muguruma, Watanabe Masao began to teach Akagi wholeheartedly.

Instead of leaving, Murasakibara took the initiative to find Matsumoto Masaru.

"Matsumoto-senpai, have you finished reading Fujima's information?"

"finish watching!"

Matsumoto Masaru looked at Murasaki in confusion.

"Senior, I will now imitate Fujima's attacking style, you defend!"

Murasakibara is not used to owing favors to others, and hopes that Matsumoto Masaru can understand Fujima better.

Murasakibara can easily replicate Fujima's offensive skills, but there are certain differences in the details.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Matsumoto Masaru naturally wanted it very much.

Since Fujima is left-handed, Murasakibara's shooting is mainly done with his left hand.

Murasakibara is capable of using both hands, but he is more skilled with his right hand, which is also an advantage brought by the panel.

Additionally, he often shoots the ball without rising to the highest point.

This is Fujima's unique shooting method, which is based on the time difference, commonly known as the flip shot.

With the help of Murasakibara, Matsumoto Masaru gained a deeper understanding of Fujima's offensive methods.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened!
Mu Mu finally stopped and said, "Matsumoto-senpai, there is a certain difference between Fujima and I in terms of physical fitness. He has better speed and explosive power, but his confrontation ability is slightly worse."

Before leaving, Murasakibara discussed things with Watanabe Masao.

Before the last game starts, Akagi can come to Buri at any time to learn from the Watanabe brothers, just like Uozumi.

Murasaki hopes to speed up Akagi's progress so that he can receive better training and avoid taking many detours like in the original work.

As for how much he can learn, it depends on Akagi's understanding.

As a price, Akagi also had to imitate Junichiro Nozawa's playing style so that the Watanabe brothers could become familiar with it.

The Watanabe brothers didn't know Junichiro Nozawa because he was a substitute player last year and they had never had a direct confrontation.

Naturally, Akagi couldn't refuse such a good learning opportunity, so he agreed without hesitation.
