Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 51 A Little Shock to Murasakibara Atsushi

"Hey, there are so many people." A team of players wearing the uniforms of Kamiki Junior High School walked over from the audience. One of the tall figures looked at the audience and said curiously, "It really deserves to be the Tokyo District! The basketball atmosphere is so strong."

"Don't make noise, Inoue." The captain said, "Don't forget what we are here for."

"Oh, let me get to know you. Take a good look at Teiko Junior High School's captain, Nijimura Shuzo." Inoue Takehiko waved his hand nonchalantly, "How long do you keep bringing up the fact that you were defeated by Nijimura Shuzo last year?"

"Okay, sit down and don't block others from watching the game." A figure who looked somewhat similar to Shirogane Kozo spoke up.

"Yes, coach." The players from Shangqi Middle School responded and took their seats.

"Hey, old man Platinum, the situation doesn't look good now. 20:7, Teiko Junior High School seems to be suppressing Shibuya First Junior High School." Inoue Takehiko was a little surprised. "It seems that the Nijimura Shuzo you often mention is really strong."

"...Stop talking, or I'll DNP you from now on." Shirogane Eiji looked at Inoue Takehiko in silence, "Watch the game carefully."

"Daisuke, it's up to you!" Keisuke Kobayashi, who was unable to break the deadlock, had no choice but to pass the ball to Daisuke Narumi in the inside according to the plan during the timeout.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Daisuke Narumi jumped high and caught the pass from Keisuke Kobayashi.

"What can I do if I leave it to you?" Murasakibara Atsushi pressed tightly against Narumi Daisuke's back, contrary to his usual behavior. "You can't do anything, right?"

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me!" Narumi Daisuke was provoked by Murasakibara Atsushi's contempt and became furious. He decided to use his body, which he had always been proud of, to deal with Murasakibara Atsushi. "It was my fault for not warming up well at the beginning. Now you better be careful!"

"Okay." Murasakibara Atsushi smiled rarely.

Narumi Daisuke felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw Murasakibara Atsushi's smile, and decided to teach him a lesson. He lowered his shoulders slightly, leaned back hard, and tried to open up some space, but the force from his back made him feel a little uneasy.

"Damn, this guy is incredibly strong..." Narumi Daisuke's expression changed slightly, "In that case, I will use my speed to beat you!"

Narumi Daisuke quickly adjusted his pace, turning from back to face, and quickly raised the ball with one hand, making a shooting motion. Murasakibara Atsushi jumped up to block the shot, but Narumi Daisuke was prepared, and firmly grabbed the ball with his big hands, and got rid of Murasakibara Atsushi's defense with a simple breakthrough.

"This speed..." Shirogane Eiji said in amazement on the sidelines, "For someone of this height, this is very good."

Although Murasakibara Atsushi was shaken off, his reaction speed was extremely fast. He stretched out his long legs and came in front of Narumi Daisuke in one step. His tall body soared into the air, like a giant tree suddenly growing under the basket, bringing a heavy sense of oppression to Narumi Daisuke.

"Damn... are the bullet speed and reaction so fast?" Narumi Daisuke felt that the space around him was blocked, and he had no room to shoot. What awaited him was either a block or a mistake.

"Daisuke!" Just when Daisuke Narumi had no way to avoid it, Kotaro Hayama slipped from the baseline and reached out to him for the ball.

Seeing this, Daisuke Narumi quickly took back the basketball that he was about to shoot and passed the ball to Kotaro Hayama.

"Really? Another jump pass." Murasakibara Atsushi in the air was a little bored. "I've seen this move from Yanzi more than once. Compared to him, your move is too obvious!"

As Murasakibara Atsushi finished his words, a tall and strong arm appeared in front of Daisuke Narumi and took the ball steadily.

"What?!" Not only Daisuke Narumi, but everyone present except Kaneki Ken was shocked.

"What kind of reaction speed and sensitivity is this!" Shirogane Eiji completely gave up on controlling his facial expressions, "He can actually intercept the opponent's pass in mid-air!"

"This guy looks so powerful. Is he the Nijimura Shuzo you mentioned, Coach?" Inoue Takehiko stopped playing around and stared at Murasakibara Atsushi with a serious face.

Shirogane Eiji supported his chin with both hands and did not speak, staring at Murasakibara Atsushi. He always felt that this big guy would bring him some different kind of shock.

Sure enough, after catching the ball in the air, Murasakibara Atsushi did not make any adjustments after landing, and did not even pass the ball. He just rushed to the front court with the ball.

"Hurry up and get back on defense!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko felt that he had probably shouted "get back on defense" more today than in his entire life. "Wait, what are you doing? You're a center!" Narumi Daisuke was stunned as he watched Murasakibara Atsushi's back as he dribbled the ball and made a one-stop fast break.

If Aomine's fast break with the ball is speed and Nijimura Shuzo's fast break with the ball is skill, then Murasakibara Atsushi's fast break is body, body, and fucking body!
The players of Shibuya First Junior High School tried desperately to defend and tried to steal the ball from Murasakibara Atsushi more than once, but they were suppressed the moment they made physical contact with Murasakibara Atsushi. The scene looked like the protective qi in martial arts novels.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Murasakibara Atsushi shook off everyone else and broke through to the penalty area of ​​Shibuya First Junior High School unhindered and jumped high.

"Asshole! Stop it!" Unwilling to give up, Daisuke Narumi also jumped into the air, trying to block Murasakibara Atsushi's determined dunk.

"Ah? How can I stop at the right time?" Murasakibara Atsushi said excitedly, "I can't wait!"

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the basketball was slammed into the basket by Murasakibara Atsushi. Daisuke Narumi, who was trying to block the shot, flew backwards as if he was hit by a truck, and hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

"Oh my god! The center is holding the ball and pushing for a fast break!" Inoue Takehiko muttered in astonishment, "This... this is too outrageous!"

"The key is his speed! Even the players from Shibuya First High School can't keep up with him!" Shirogane Eiji was completely shocked by Murasakibara Atsushi. "The most important thing is that I didn't see this guy last year. He might just be a freshman like you!"

"Beep~" Just as the audience on the sidelines were still cheering for Murasakibara Atsushi's goal, the referee's whistle sounded, "Goal! Shibuya First Middle School No. 12, defensive foul, Teiko Junior High School one extra free throw!"

“Teikou!”, “Teikou!”, “Teikou!”

Teiko Junior High School's series of thrilling performances also attracted the complete defection of the spectators on the sidelines. At this time, the stadium seemed to have become the home court of Teiko Junior High School.

Murasakihara Atsushi silently came to the free throw line and waited for the referee to pass the ball. Just looking at the basket in front of him, Murasakihara Atsushi always had the urge to dunk it...

"Really, why can't I dunk from free throws..." Murasakibara Atsushi complained.

"Who said that?" Kaneki Ken laughed and said, "It's OK as long as you don't score the penalty."

"The penalty shot is not going in..." Murasakibara Atsushi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I understand, Yanzi."

"Now that you understand, just do it. Give everyone a little shock from Murasakibara Atsushi." Kaneki Ken patted Murasakibara Atsushi on the back and went straight back to the backcourt.

"Number 7 of the white team, prepare for the free throw!" the referee reminded.

Murasakibara Atsushi took the pass from the referee, took a deep breath, and then threw the ball hard towards the basket.

"It's too hard, it can't go in!" Seeing this, Daisuke Ming Hai immediately prepared to grab the rebound.

At the moment the basketball bounced out of the hoop, several figures from Shibuya No. 1 Middle School rose into the air in the restricted area. However, a taller figure appeared behind them like a giant spirit, and it was Murasakibara Atsushi.

"Hey, I say!" There was a flash of light in Murasakibara Atsushi's eyes, gold and purple mixed together, like a roaring dragon, "This ball is mine!"

As the words fell, Murasakibara Atsushi's long arms grabbed the ball steadily above everyone's heads, and with a bang, he stuffed the ball back into the basket.

Inoue from Kamiki Junior High School is a player who fought back and forth with Aomine Daiki in the first grade of the original book. He is a power forward, but he doesn't have a specific name, so Inoue is just a guest star.

Shirogane Eiji, later the head coach of Rakusan High School, has no relationship with Shirogane Kozo, but the two look quite similar in the comics.
