Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 96 Award Ceremony
It's over!

After Takamiya Motoyu was injured and left the field, Ikeda Kazuhiro also fell into trouble due to foul problems.

He may become more cautious in the next game.

Otherwise, once they are sent off, Hainan High School will really be doomed.

For Hainan High School, this is really a double whammy.

For a time, the players' confidence began to waver and their morale was on the verge of collapse.

On the bench of Hainan High School, Coach Gaotou’s face was livid, his chest heaving violently, and his heart was filled with anger and anxiety.

"It's probably impossible to defeat Xiangbei!"

Coach Gaotou frowned. The situation on the field was very unfavorable to his team, and he had the idea of ​​settling for the second best.

Even if we cannot win the championship, we must at least qualify for the national competition.

Otherwise, he will lose both and the consequences will be very serious. He must make a choice.

In order to stabilize morale, Coach Gaotou had to call a timeout.

Coach Gaotou is well aware that the team is facing unprecedented pressure and challenges, and he must make some changes.

"Everyone, I know the current situation is very difficult, but it is not impossible for us to turn defeat into victory... Did you see those two words?"

Coach Gaotou looked around at each player, pointing to the Hainan High School's slogan "Always Winning", his tone revealing unquestionable belief and determination.

"In the past 14 years, Hainan has faced serious crises many times, but we have overcome them all and finally had the last laugh!"

Under the encouragement of Coach Gaotou, the team's low morale was boosted.

However, Coach Gaotou still had some hope and did not put forward the slogan of maintaining the second place and fighting for the first place.

Because for Hainan High School, not winning the championship would mean failure!
Soon, both sides returned to the court again.

In the gymnasium, Xiangbei's momentum is almost as good as Hainan High School.

In addition to the outstanding performance of the Xiangbei team, it was also related to Takamiya Motoyu's bad tripping behavior. Many viewers changed their positions and began to support the Xiangbei team.

The game on the field is still going on!
Naturally, the Xiangbei team would not miss such a good opportunity and tried to break through the defense of Hainan High School in one fell swoop.

However, Hainan High School is a national-level strong team after all, and has demonstrated tenacious fighting spirit.

In a short period of time, Xiangbei was unable to expand the score to double digits.

With two minutes left in the game, Murasakibara seized the opportunity again and dealt a fatal blow to Hainan High School.

In this attack, Murasakibara once again broke through Ishida Kiyoshi and rushed towards Ikeda Kazuhiro.

Ikeda Kazuhiro was startled. In order to avoid being fouled by Murasakibara, he took the initiative to give up his position and did not give Murasakibara any chance to contact him.

However, this does not mean that Kazuhiro Ikeda has given up on defense.

Ikeda Kazuhiro secretly followed Mugure, waiting for his chance to strike.

When Murasakibara jumped for a layup, Ikeda Kazuhiro also jumped up, trying to block the shot.

However, Murasakibara seemed to have anticipated Ikeda Kazuhiro's actions and had taken precautions in advance.

With his extreme reaction speed, Murasakibara pulled the lever, moved his hands slightly, avoided Ikeda Kazuhiro's block, and threw the ball into the basket with an unnatural movement.

slap~
At the same time, Ikeda Kazuhiro's right hand hit Kogure's ball-guarding hand.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded.

shuh~
The basketball spun around on the rim and finally fell in.

Not only did Murasakibara score successfully, he also cleverly caused Ikeda Kazuhiro to foul.

Hua Hua Hua~
At this moment, thunderous cheers broke out from the audience.

"No. 5 of the white team committed a foul, and No. 11 of the red team gets an extra free throw!"

This is Kazuhiro Ikeda's fifth foul!
According to the rules, Ikeda and Hirogo were sent off for fouls.

Ikeda Kazuhiro left the field dejectedly, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the players of Hainan High School. Their eyes showed confusion and helplessness.

At this moment, the players of Hainan High School had disappointment and frustration written all over their faces, and the supporters in the audience became silent.

shuh~
At the free throw line, Murasakibara steadily put the ball into the basket, expanding the Shohoku team's advantage to double digits.

Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable, Coach Gaotou had to use his last timeout.

He tried to rearrange his tactics and find a way to turn the situation around.

Unfortunately, although the players tried their best after the timeout, they not only failed to narrow the score gap, but the gap was further widened.

Du~du~
As the long whistle symbolizing the end of the game sounded, Hainan High School’s defeat was announced.

"We win, we win!"

The players on the Xiangbei bench excitedly rushed onto the field to celebrate this hard-earned victory. On the other hand, the players of Hainan High School seemed to have lost their spirit.

They looked at the slogan "Always Victorious" for a long time in silence.

Can we still use this slogan next year?
There was no way out. The Xiangbei team ended Hainan High School's record of winning the county championship for 14 consecutive years.

Of course, this does not mean that the Xiangbei team won the county championship.

In the joint finals, a total of three teams achieved two wins and one loss, namely Xiangbei, Buri and Hainan High School.

In terms of win-loss record, they defeated Buri, Buri defeated Shohoku, and Shohoku defeated Hainan High School, and the three teams offset each other.

Therefore, the ranking of the three teams can only be determined by goal difference.

Among them, Buri has the highest net score, followed by Xiangbei, and Hainan High School is at the bottom.

Unexpectedly, Buri won the championship of this county competition.

However, this is also common sense.

Buri is already very strong, and the one-star-four-shooting system makes them even stronger, and their strength is even above the other three teams.

This county competition was full of ups and downs, which can only be described as twists and turns.

After the game, the four teams lined up in the gymnasium and began the award ceremony.

The county competition organizing committee first awarded medals and certificates, and then announced the individual awards.

Scoring leader: Kogure Kimiyasu, averaging 35.7 points per game.

Rebounding leader: Masao Watanabe, averaging 14.5 rebounds per game.

Assist King: Kenji Fujima, 9.8 assists per game.

Steals leader: Masayasu Watanabe, 3.3 steals per game.

Block leader: Masao Watanabe, averaging 3.4 blocks per game.

As expected, the Best Newcomer award was won by Murasakibara.

Among all the first-year players, Murasakibara can be said to be the most dazzling one. Both his status and performance in the team are higher than Rukawa Kaede in the plot year.

It was thanks to Murasakibara's outstanding performance that the Shohoku team was able to win the second place.

Best Newcomer, well deserved!

Following closely behind was the best five-member team, and five people’s portraits began to appear on the electronic screen.

They are Masao Watanabe, Masayasu Watanabe, Taro Aso, Motoyu Takamiya and Murasaki!

Among the best five, only Murasakibara is a first-year student, and the other four are all third-year students.

As for Amamu, Ikeda Kazuhiro, Fujima, Mitsui and Akagi, they all failed to be selected.

In order to be selected into the best five, in addition to personal performance, it is also closely related to the team's record.

Normally, the championship team will be guaranteed two spots.

If Hainan High School is the champion, in addition to Takamiya Motoyu, Amu will most likely be selected as one of the best five players.

Unfortunately, there is no if!
As for the final county tournament MVP, it is usually won by the championship team.

If the championship team does not have a particularly outstanding player, there is a slight chance that the award will be given to the runner-up player, like Jerry West in the NBA.

Of course, the probability is definitely very small.

Soon, the organizing committee revealed the answer. The MVP of the county competition was won by Masao Watanabe of the Buri team.

同时，大屏幕上还列出了渡边正雄的场均数据，分别是30.2分14.5篮板4.2助攻3.4盖帽1.5抢断。

The reason why Watanabe Masao can achieve such good data is not only because of his strong personal ability, but also because of the one-star four-shooter system.

木暮：35.7分6.2助攻4.4篮板2.5抢断0.8封盖
Although Murasakibara scores more, there is no hope unless his average score exceeds 40.

Masao Watanabe went on stage to receive the award and shed tears of excitement.

This county competition MVP trophy is the greatest compliment to him!

After the award ceremony, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.

Among them, Coach Gaotou left in a hurry.

He planned to use his connections to try to convince the organizing committee of the summer national competition to allow Kanagawa Prefecture to get a spot in the play-offs.

Muguro left the gym and prepared to go home with his parents.

On the way, Mu Mu saw a conspicuous red hair.
