Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 87 You almost defended me!

“This guy jumps so high!”

While Takamiyamoto was alert, Murasakibara also sighed.

Although Murasakibara's jumping attribute has reached 83, there is still a clear gap compared to Takamiya Motoyu.

In Kogure's opinion, Takamiya Motoyu's jumping ability is at least above 90, and it is possible that it may even be above 95.

In the attack of the Xiangbei team, Nobuhiko Okamoto dribbled the ball across half court.

Before Maki Shinichi could step forward, he immediately passed the basketball in his hand to Murasaki as if it were a hot potato.

As for Nobuhiko Okamoto, he took Shinichi Maki around like walking the dog.

This is the method Coach Anzai taught him. Nobuhiko Okamoto has the ability to shoot from mid-range and long range, so Shinichi Maki doesn't dare to be careless at all and can only follow closely.

Looking at Takamiya Motoyu who was one step away, Murasakibara dribbled the ball between his legs continuously. His ball control attribute was as high as 88 points, and his dribbling between his legs could be said to be smooth as flowing water.

The next moment, Murasakibara changed directions continuously and successfully broke through Takamiya Motoyu's defense.

Takamiya Motoyu chased closely, but was confused by Murasakibara's European step and was completely passed by Murasakibara.

Ikeda Kazuhiro hurriedly pressed Akagi behind him to prevent Akagi from participating in the attack.

Mu Mu strode into the three-second zone and rushed straight to the basket.

"Don't think about it!"

Ikeda Kazuhiro jumped up and slapped the basketball in Murasakibara's hand with his right hand.

At the critical moment, Murasakibara successfully avoided the block of Ikeda Kazuhiro with a wonderful pull-up move, then drifted to the other side, made a reverse layup, and put the ball into the basket.

Murasaki's difficult drifting layup not only won valuable points, but also greatly boosted the morale of his teammates.

Before returning to defense, Mu Mu glanced at Ikeda Kazuhiro and said with feigned contempt: "Come on, you almost defended me!"

This is the trash talk Jordan said when facing Payton. It was still 1992. Payton at this time was not worthy of Jordan's serious attention, and this trash talk probably had not yet come out.

Therefore, Murasakibara believes that he can ask Jordan for "copyright fees" in the future.

As a classic piece of trash talk, its lethality cannot be underestimated.

Ikeda Kazuhiro suddenly felt his blood boiling and he became furious. He felt his fists instantly harden.

"Damn you little devil!"

Hearing the angry voice of Ikeda Kazuhiro, a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of Murasakibara's mouth.

Oh no, his mouth is crooked!
"As expected of a top-ranked trash talker in the NBA in the future, his power is so strong!"

It was obvious that Murasakibara did this on purpose, mainly to provoke Ikeda and Hiro.

The easiest way to defeat Hainan High School is to reduce the number of members of the Big Three.

Among the three giants of Hainan High School, Ikeda Kazuhiro has a violent personality, is impulsive and irritable, and is undoubtedly the best target.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's because the Xiangbei team's inside line is so bad.

Among the four teams in the joint finals, Xiangbei has the worst inside line.

Hainan High School: One of the three major centers + blue-collar power forward.

Buri: Kanagawa's strongest inside twin towers

Xiangyang: Blue-collar center + first power forward.

As long as Ikeda Kazuhiro leaves the field, Akagi can be freed.

In this way, the one-star-four-shooting tactics and even the triangle offense can be better implemented!

The core of triangle offense is to gain offensive space and ensure the opportunity for strong one-on-one single attack on the court. As the name suggests, it allows the core player of the team to play singles better.

After returning to his own half, Mu Mu specifically told Akagi: "Akagi, I'll leave that stupid big guy to you. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I learned a trick from Watanabe Masayasu!"

Akagi nodded vigorously. Although he had not yet learned how to play one-on-one in the low post, his performance on the defensive end had become more stable and not as impetuous as before.

Well, it might be because I was abused so badly by the Watanabe brothers these days.

During Hainan High School's attack, Maki Shenyi dribbled the ball across half court and began to observe his teammates' positions.

Nobuhiko Okamoto took the initiative to create two steps of distance between himself and Shinichi Maki, adopting a defensive strategy of defending against breakthroughs rather than shots.

This was what Murasakibara specifically told him before the game.

Even in the plot year, the mid-range shot is not a regular weapon for Maki Shinichi, let alone two years ago.

Maybe it’s because he lifts too much weights, compared to Fujima, Shinichi Maki’s shooting ability is not very good.

This is more like young James, and his scoring method is mainly based on the basket.

Seeing Okamoto Nobuhiko's defensive posture, Maki Shinichi felt the deep malice from the world. Maki Shinichi is very self-aware, and now he is not sure about even open shots.

"Amu!"

Just as Maki Shinichi was about to force a breakthrough, suddenly, Ikeda Kazuhiro reached out for the ball.

Although Ikeda Kazuhiro's position is not very good, he is one of the Big Three after all, especially as a senior.

Without hesitation, Maki Shinichi lobbed the ball in.

Due to the difference in height and wingspan, plus the two-step distance between them, Nobuhiko Okamoto was unable to stop Shinichi Maki's lob pass.

The moment Ikeda Kazuhiro received the ball, Akagi lowered his center of gravity slightly and started to defend closely.

At the first moment, Kazuhiro Ikeda started the back-to-the-basket mode.

Bang ~ bang ~
A dull sound of muscles colliding was heard, and Akagi clenched his teeth and never retreated.

"You have so little strength. Didn't you eat? Your level is so low. You are far behind Watanabe Masao and Yano Shinichi."

While defending, Akagi did not forget to provoke the opponent with words.

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Ikeda Kazuhiro furious.

Driven by anger, his strength increased instantly and he subconsciously lowered his shoulders and rammed forward.

"what!"

Akagi let out an exaggerated scream and quickly fell to the ground, even dragging a short distance on the floor.

Not far away, Mu Mu was stunned.

It turns out that Akagi learned this trick!

Ikeda Kazuhiro stood there in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

beep~
The referee blew the whistle immediately.

"Offensive foul by No. 5 of the white team!"

Ikeda Kazuhiro rushed to the referee and shouted, "Referee, this is a fake fall, I didn't even touch him!"

"You just dropped your shoulders!"

The referee looked at Ikeda Kazuhiro expressionlessly. If the other party pressed him again, he wouldn't mind giving him a ruby... ahem, a technical foul.

"Ikeda, calm down!" Takamiya Motoyu quickly stopped Ikeda Kazuhiro, and then said to the referee with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, he was just impulsive!"

Takamiya Motoyu dragged Ikeda Kazuhiro away without any explanation.

"This guy is so strong!"

Mu Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Although Ikeda Kazuhiro did not struggle much, Takamiya Motoyu was able to drag him away, which shows that his strength is quite impressive.

The Shohoku team had the ball. Nobuhiko Okamoto dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Murasaki again, while he ran around with Shinichi Maki.

This is Nobuhiko Okamoto’s main mission!

Instead of attacking immediately, Murasakibara gave Akagi a wink.

Murasaki: Follow my instructions!
Akagi immediately understood and stepped forward to screen for Murasakibara.

With the help of Akagi's high-quality pick-and-roll, Murasakibara broke through with the ball and drove straight into the goal.

Murasakibara's shooting was so good that Ikeda Kazuhiro had to switch defense.

Murasakibara made a realistic shooting posture, and Ikeda Kazuhiro jumped up subconsciously.

However, Murasakibara did not jump.

When Ikeda Kazuhiro reached the highest point, Murasakibara took the initiative to meet him.

slap~
Even though Ikeda Kazuhiro tried his best to avoid it, he still hit Murasakibara's elbow.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded again.

In mid-air, Murasakibara tried his best to keep his balance and threw the ball out.

bang~
Unfortunately, Ikeda Kazuhiro was too strong and the ball did not go in.

"No. 5 of the white team committed a foul, and No. 11 of the red team will get two free throws."

Mu Mu rubbed his elbow and walked towards the free throw line.

Shortly after the start of the game, Kazuhiro Ikeda committed two fouls, and the situation began to become unfavorable for Hainan High School.

Swish~swish~
After Murasakibara finished the free throw, Gaotou, the coach of Hainan High School, folded his paper fan and called a timeout.

　Go to the hospital for a minor surgery!
