Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 92 Akagi looks older than me!
"You're the junior high school MVP, that's incredible!"

Looking at Mitsui's confident eyes, Maki Shinichi couldn't help but mutter something, with a barely perceptible hint of bitterness in his tone.

Shinichi Maki is from Aichi Prefecture and once had a fierce competition with the "Aichi Star" Moroboshi Dai in junior high school.

At that time, both of them were outstanding students in Aichi Prefecture.

In the end, Shinichi Maki missed the junior high school MVP by a narrow margin.

As for the junior high school MVP, it was naturally won by Dai Moroboshi.

Whenever he thinks back to that time, Maki Shinichi is always filled with resentment and regret.

Not far away, Mitsui happened to hear his muttering.

"Middle school MVP is amazing!"

After saying this, Mitsui turned around and returned to defense.

"You bastard, you're going too far!"

Maki Shinichi felt his fist harden again.

beep~
As the referee blew the whistle, Hainan High School applied for a timeout and the players retreated one after another.

Ishida Kiyoshi lowered his head, prepared to be scolded by the coach.

Click~
Coach Gaotou was so angry that he broke the paper fan in his hand.

This is the second paper fan he broke in this game!

Paper Fan: You are amazing, you are noble!
"Ishida, your performance really disappoints me!"

As expected, what greeted Ishida Kiyoshi was Coach Takato's loud cursing.

Before the start of the second half, the situation of Hainan High School was very good.

However, in just three minutes, Mitsui suddenly broke out, and his three-pointer pierced the defense of Hainan High School like a sword.

Four three-pointers, including a 3+1, destroyed their lead in one fell swoop.

Coach Gaotou took a deep breath and his emotions quickly calmed down.

As a well-known coach with a national reputation, he naturally will not be easily swayed by emotions.

Breaking the paper fan was just a way for him to vent his emotions.

The timeout was limited, so Coach Takato quickly deployed his plan: "Ishida, when you come on the court, you will defend Mitsui closely. Defend against shots, not against breakthroughs. Do you understand?"

Ishida Siyou straightened his back and responded loudly: "Understood!"

"Takamiya, Kuraki, you also need to strengthen the defense against Mitsui!"

"Yes, coach!"

Coach Gaotou then turned his attention to the entire team: "In addition to this, we must also fight for rebounds with all our strength!"

Rebounds were the key factor in Hainan High School's ability to suppress Xiangbei.

In the first half, after Kazuhiro Ikeda returned, Hainan High School clearly had the upper hand in the fight for rebounds and grabbed many offensive rebounds.

Most of these offensive rebounds were converted into points by them.

Compared with Xiangbei, the players of Hainan High School are taller, heavier and stronger.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xiangbei has four freshmen.

According to commentator Tanaka, this is also the biggest destabilizing factor for Shohoku.

Coach Gaotou is well aware of the importance of rebounds to the game.

Only by leading in rebounds can the team win more offensive rounds and increase the chances of scoring.

Soon, the pause is over!
The Xiangbei team made personnel adjustments, and coach Anzai replaced Nobuhiko Okamoto with Kumamoto.

The long and high-intensity confrontation with Maki Shinichi, coupled with the constant running, made him almost breathless.

The massive loss of physical strength caused Nobuhiko Okamoto to have heavy steps and slow reactions, and his effectiveness in defending Shinichi Maki declined significantly.

In addition, Nobuhiko Okamoto's height disadvantage is particularly obvious.

Compared with Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kumamoto can better share the responsibility of protecting rebounds for the team, reduce the opponent's chances of second offense, and thus stabilize the team's defense.

After Nobuhiko Okamoto left the court, Murasakibara took over as point guard again.

After the game resumed, Maki Shinichi broke through with the ball.

Although he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation, Murasaki's speed and explosive power were not at a disadvantage, and he stuck closely to Maki Shinichi.

Under Murasaki's tenacious defense, Shinichi Maki had to pass the ball to Motoyu Takamiya.

After receiving the ball, Takamiya Motoyu easily broke through Yamamoto Kuma and rushed straight to the basket.

After attracting Yuho Ikeda's backup defense, Takamiya Motoyu did not choose to force the ball, but passed the ball to Kuraki Mine who was in an open position, who scored a layup.

During the attack of the Xiangbei team, Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Mitsui.

Ishida Keisuke followed Coach Takato's instructions and immediately defended Mitsui, not giving Mitsui a chance to shoot.

Mitsui was not bothered by Ishida Keisuke's defense, and suddenly accelerated and easily broke through Ishida Keisuke's defense. His breakthrough attracted the attention of Kuraki Mine, who tried to step forward to make up for the defense.

Without hesitation, Mitsui made a quick stop and jump shot.

shuh~
The basketball went straight through the rim.

Seeing Mitsui score again, Ishida Keisuke's self-confidence was obviously hit, and he couldn't help but look at Coach Takato.

At this time, Mitsui had already scored 21 points.

Coach Gaotou had no choice but to stand up, and came to the sidelines and shouted to Maki Shinichi: "Amu, you and Ishida switch defense!"

"Yes, coach!"

Although Ishida Keisuke's defensive skills are better, he cannot match Maki Shinichi's extraordinary talent.

In the next round, Mitsui received the pass from Murasakibara again.

When Mitsui found that the person standing in front of him was Shinichi Maki, he was obviously surprised.

Looking at Shinichi Maki's unusually mature face, Mitsui couldn't help but think of the joke that Murasaki told.

The truth behind Hainan High School’s 15-year consecutive title in Kanagawa!

"Amu, are you really a high school student?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Maki Shinichi's face was serious.

Mitsui questioned, "No, you didn't fail a grade, did you? You look like an adult!"

Maki Shinichi hurriedly explained loudly: "Asshole, I'm really only 15 years old!"

"You're lying, how can you be only 15? You're more like 35!"

Upon hearing what Mitsui said, Amu was so angry that he jumped up and down, obviously affected by the trash talk.

Suddenly, Mitsui jumped up without warning and quickly threw the basketball in his hand.

This is his specialty - sneak attack!
Maki Shinichi was shocked, but it was too late.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket accurately.

Xiangbei continues to maintain the lead!

Just as Mitsui was about to return to defense, Maki Shinichi, who was standing in front of him, said very seriously: "Akagi looks older than me!"

When these words were spoken, everyone, including the referee, was shocked and looked at Maki Shinichi with surprised eyes.

Among them, Akagi's performance was the best.

"asshole!"

Akagi glared at Shinichi Maki, his fists stiffened. If Shinichi Maki was a player of Shohoku, he would definitely give him a punch from the sky.

As for Mitsui, the instigator, Akagi decided to teach him a lesson after the game was over!
Call ~
Looking at Akagi's murderous eyes, Maki Shinichi smiled instead.

Sure enough, mood can be changed!
Not far away, Mu Mu held his chin and said secretly: "It seems that Mitsui has gradually become Sakura!"

Mitsui has a funny personality. After all, he was the first person to give Akagi a nickname.

During the Xiangling battle, this guy placed Coach Anxi's photo frame on the coaching seat in full view of everyone, and even knelt down on the spot.

When he was trying to grab the basketball that came out from under Sakuragi Hanamichi's crotch, his face was full of disgust.

The game continued, and Hainan High School obviously strengthened its defense against Mitsui.

In addition to Maki Shinichi, Kuraki Mine and Takamiya Motoyu would also provide backup defense for him from time to time.

They would rather let Xiangbei's role players score than let Mitsui score, and they would even interrupt his offensive rhythm by committing fouls.

Just as Hainan High School shifted its defensive focus to Mitsui, Murasakibara dribbled across half court again.

At the first moment, Akagi stepped forward to screen.

With the help of Akagi's pick-and-roll, Ishida Keisuke's vision was limited and he subconsciously thought that Murasakibara would take the opportunity to break through.

He hurriedly bypassed Akagi and tried to stop Mugure.

Unfortunately, Ishida Keisuke's shot missed because Murasakibara did not break through, but instead took advantage of Akagi's pick-and-roll and jumped to shoot.

Outside the three-point line, Murasakibara made a three-pointer with a flick of his hand.

Although his shooting was cold late in the first half, he still shot it.

This is the Mamba Mentality!
In short, all the consequences will be borne by the little Milan blacksmith. He taught me to do this.

shuh~
The basketball drew a graceful arc in the air and made a crisp friction sound.

This three-pointer consolidated the Xiangbei team's lead.

"Maybe it was inspired by Mitsui, my touch seems to have recovered!"

After hitting this three-pointer, Murasakibara felt his hands getting hotter.
