Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 116 Pull-up Fade-away Jump Shot
55:42
After Murasakibara made this three-pointer, Xiangbei's lead expanded to 13 points.

For a time, the morale of the Toyotama team further declined.

In national competitions, many teams only score a total of 13 or points, and points is not a score that can be easily surpassed.

This naturally puts tremendous pressure on the Touou players.

"No matter what, this ball must go in!"

Matsushita made up his mind silently in his heart.

He was well aware of the importance of this goal. As the team captain and ace, he must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Matsushita immediately said to Yasuda Katsura: "Yasuda, remember to pass the ball to me later!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Itachi Yasuda responded immediately.

Not far away, Murasaki glanced at Matsushita Kura and Yasuda Itachi with suspicion.

Although their conversation was not heard, based on the situation on the field, this time Touou's attack will most likely be completed by Matsushita Kura.

Therefore, while Murasakibara was keeping an eye on Nan Lie, he would also pay attention to the movements of Itachi Yasuda and Matsushita Kura from time to time.

Soon, an opportunity presented itself.

With the help of his teammates' cover, Matsushita successfully left Mitsui behind by a body length.

Without hesitation, Itachi Yasuda immediately chose to pass the ball.

Just at this moment, Murasakibara suddenly turned around, stretched out his left hand straight, and accurately intercepted the ball.

"not good!"

Matsushita Kura thought something was wrong, he tried to fight back on the spot, but was easily avoided by Murasakibara.

The next moment, Murasakibara picked up the basketball and rushed to the front court like an arrow.

"Don't think about it!"

At the same time, Itachi Yasuda, Kura Matsushita and Minami Lie all returned to defense as quickly as possible.

In the chase and entanglement, Mu Mu successfully rushed into the paint area.

The next moment, the four of them jumped up almost at the same time.

In mid-air, Murasakibara watched calmly, then with a clever pull-up motion, he passed the ball through the gap between the three people and lightly picked it up with his fingers.

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

This ball is similar to the layup that Rukawa made when facing the three tall players of Shoyo.

"Nani!"

"How can it be!"

……

The audience was stunned for a moment. They had almost never seen such a difficult goal in high school games.

For a moment, the entire venue fell into deathly silence. Then, as if the long-suppressed emotions found an outlet, the audience instantly burst into thunderous cheers, the sound was so loud that it seemed to overturn the roof of the venue.

At this moment, Murasakibara became the most handsome guy in the audience, and his name began to be widely circulated among the audience.

In the audience, Matsumoto Minoru muttered to himself: "I can't do this goal!"

He is very self-aware and knows that it is difficult for him to complete such a difficult move, mainly because of his lack of core strength.

On the side, Shen Jin asked Kashima Feng Shuang curiously: "Captain, can you do it?"

"Don't even look at who I am!"

Kashima Fengshimo couldn't help but give Fukatsu a blank look. He was the top high school student in the country. Although this shot was as difficult as the third or fourth floor, it was not impossible for him to do it.

The most important thing is that he has a perfect waist and his psoas muscles are very strong.

"But I'm afraid Toyotama will lose!"

"Then shall we continue watching?"

"Look! Shohoku is as strong as Aiwa, and they may become our rivals in the future!"

On the other hand, the players of Aiwa Academy felt unprecedented pressure.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiangbei is likely to become their next opponent.

This can be seen from the dejected expressions of the Touou players. It is obvious that this goal has dealt a huge blow to their morale.

Takeshita Hirogen looked at Zhu Xingda solemnly: "Zhu Xing, can you do this goal?"

Zhu Xingda's eyes flickered, and he answered with a stiff upper lip: "It must be possible!"

Hiroyuki Takeshita naturally saw the reluctance in Moroboshi's words, but he did not point it out.

He couldn't help but look at Murasakibara on the field. The opponent's strength was obviously beyond his expectations. He was already so outstanding in the first grade. In another two years, he might be qualified to compete for the title of the best high school student in the country.

Murasaki: Who are you blaspheming?

beep~
At this point, Coach Kitano had to request a timeout, otherwise if he continued, the team's morale would likely plummet.

However, the timeout was limited after all. In such a short period of time, Coach Kitano could only barely maintain Touou's morale.

After the timeout, Toyotama quickly launched an attack.

"Defense!"

Following Murasakibara's order, the Xiangbei players immediately tensed up and further increased their defensive efforts.

Faced with the sudden defensive pressure, Toyotama players seemed a little overwhelmed.

They tried to find a breakthrough, but the Xiangbei players were too tight, making it difficult for them to get easy scoring opportunities.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, there were only ten seconds left for Toyotama to attack.

For a moment, the Toyotama players became more and more anxious.

At the critical moment, Matsushitakura stood up again and tried to single out Mitsui. The players of Touou took away the opposing players one after another, giving Matsushitakura a better singles environment.

Matsushita dribbled the ball between his legs and changed direction in front of his body. Mitsui quickly moved sideways, trying to block Matsushita's breakthrough route.

In order to quickly break through Mitsui's defense, Matsushita Kuraichi pulled the basketball, passed the ball to his left hand, changed direction drastically, and forcibly broke through Mitsui's defense.

Like Fujima, Matsushita is a typical left-handed general!
Before Mitsui could catch up, Matsushita suddenly stopped and jumped to shoot.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, it was Murasakibara!

"Why would Mu Mu appear in that place!?"

On the Toouama bench, Coach Kitano showed a look of horror and suddenly stood up from the bench.

On the court, the two men jumped up almost at the same time, and Murasakibara raised his hands high, trying to block the shot.

Matsushita was obviously surprised and had to raise his shot to avoid Murasakibara's block.

This caused his shot to be far off target, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket with a crisp sound.

In the first moment, Akagi overpowered Asakura Tenyu and grabbed the precious rebound.

This successful defense is likely to become the turning point of the game.

After missing the shot, Matsushita's eyes revealed disappointment and self-blame.

He failed again!

The teammates were very disappointed; they had expected the shot to go in, but the result was the opposite of what they expected.

Suddenly, Nan Lie's energetic voice rang out: "Now is not the time to be discouraged. Defend, everyone must keep this ball!"

His voice was full of firmness and determination, like a warm current flowing into the players' hearts.

As Nan Lie's good friend, Kishimoto raised his right hand and shouted, "Defense!"

"Defense!"

The Toyotama players cheered up and their eyes rekindled their fighting spirit.

No matter what, we must defend this ball.

The Touou players didn't give Shohoku any chance to take advantage and kept pestering them with all their strength.

Under their tenacious defense, Xiangbei had no chance for a while.

Murasaki had to control the ball while extending his right index finger.

The teammates naturally understood the meaning of this action and quickly took away the opposing player.

"bring it on!"

Nan Lie's heart trembled and he became more focused.

However, under Murasakibara's LV8 cross step, Nan Lie's defense was useless and Murasakibara easily broke through.

Nan Lie endured the discomfort in his right foot and quickly caught up.

Mu Mu suddenly stopped, stretched his body and jumped up.

Nan Lie was always on guard against Mu Mu's sudden stop jump shot. He stepped on the brakes hard and jumped with all his strength.

In mid-air, Nan Lie was surprised to find that the distance between the two sides was rapidly widening, and Mu Mu's body was leaning backwards, as if struggling against gravity.

The moment the basket appeared in Mu Mu's eyes, he finally threw the basketball in his hand.

Nan Lie stretched out his arms as far as he could and interfered as much as possible.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Nan Lie quickly turned his head.

shuh~
The basketball went straight into the basket, and the net swung upward under the impact of the basketball, as if celebrating this wonderful moment.

Hua Hua Hua~
The audience once again burst into loud cheers, which quickly flooded the entire venue.

Led by Murasakibara, the momentum of the Shohoku team has completely suppressed the Touou team.

After Murasakibara completed a quick stop and fadeaway jump shot, the difference between the two sides reached 17 points.

The Toyotama players were devastated and their morale plummeted.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

Coach Kitano had to request a timeout again.

"Kumure, you're awesome!"

"We will definitely win this game!"

……

When Murasakibara left the court, the Shohoku players gathered around him and expressed their praise for Murasakibara with all kinds of compliments.

On the other side, the Toyotama players walked off the court listlessly, like eggplants hit by frost.

Their eyes were filled with loss and confusion, as if their morale had been completely crushed.

"You're still too young!"

Looking at the players' performance, Coach Kitano was somewhat disappointed and sighed.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Touou. Not only is it 17 points behind, but the team's morale is on the verge of collapse.

Coach Kitano couldn't help but sigh, he knew very well that time was running out for Touou.

He must boost the team's morale in a short period of time. In addition, how to limit Murasakibara's performance has also become a big problem.

Before the start of this game, Coach Kitano deployed many strategies to restrict Murasakibara, but failed to achieve the desired results.

In addition, Touou is a team that is strong in offense but weak in defense, and it is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them to limit Murasakibara's performance.

At this time, Coach Kitano changed his usual gentle demeanor and showed a serious face. He shouted to the players: "How can we give up easily until the last minute of the game? Besides, there are still more than ten minutes before the end of the game. We still have hope of turning defeat into victory. If you have given up in advance, I will substitute you now!"

Coach Kitano tried to awaken the players' desire to win.
