Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 137: 33 points in the first half (asking for monthly ticket)
When he left the court, his teammates surrounded Murasakibara enthusiastically as if they were welcoming a hero.

It was thanks to Murasakibara's outstanding performance that the Shohoku team was able to hold its own and not be suppressed by the powerful Sanno Industrial.

In the audience seats, the Hakata University of Commerce affiliated team and the Buri team were talking about it.

"I didn't expect that Xiangbei would be in the lead!"

"Among them, Kogure Konobu's performance was crucial. Before the end of the first half, he scored 28 points."

"If they want to defeat Shohoku, Sanno Industrial must limit Murasakibara's performance, but if they fight one-on-one, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."

"Sanno Industrial has not yet used its trump card of full-court press. I wonder if Shohoku has any way to crack it?"

"It's difficult!"

In addition to the players from Hakata and Buri, Akagi Haruko, Sakuragi and others were also discussing the matter.

"As expected of Big Brother Mumu, he dunked over a two-meter-tall giant!"

Akagi Haruko held her hands in the shape of a heart, and her eyes seemed to be glowing.

She loves playing basketball so much!

On the side, Sakuragi said sourly: "I will be able to do it in the future!"

In the plot year, the player with the highest dunk over by Sakuragi was Masahiro Nobe.

Masahiro Nobe is 198 cm tall, which is equivalent to a two-meter giant.

However, compared with Masahiro Nobe, Kentaro Sakurai is obviously stronger.

"Sakuragi, I believe you can do it too!"

As a little fan, Hikoichi Aida believed Sakuragi's words very much and wrote them down.

"It's not like there aren't two-meter giants!"

Suddenly, Sakuragi had an idea and his eyes subconsciously fell on Matsui Koji.

Koji Matsui seems to be taller than Kentaro Sakurai. If he can dunk over Koji Matsui, wouldn't he be stronger than Murasakibara?
By that time, maybe many girls will look at him differently?
Thinking of this, Sakuragi couldn't help but smile obscenely.

When Sakuragi was in the second grade of junior high school, he had been rejected by 20 girls. He was desperate to be single!

However, Sakuragi thought the problem was too simple.

Although Koji Matsui is taller, he is obviously not comparable to Kentaro Sakurai.

The most important thing is that Koji Matsui is over 40 years old, so even if he wins, it would be an unfair victory.

On the Sannoh bench, the relaxed atmosphere no longer exists.

After the timeout, Coach Domoto started to cook a pot of chicken soup to stabilize the team's morale.

The next moment, Coach Domoto's attention was focused on Kentaro Sakurai.

He must calm Sakurai Kentaro down, otherwise he might really lose control of his temper and start a fight during the game.

This guy is like Artest with mania!

"Sakurai, you must control your emotions, otherwise you will never be able to surpass Suzuki Nobita."

Nobisuke Suzuki, the ace of Hakata University of Commerce and the best center in the country.

Suzuki Nobisuke's physical fitness is no less than that of Sakurai Kentaro, and he has better skills and a more stable personality. The key is that he is still a sophomore player.

When Kashima Kaede graduates, Suzuki Nobisuke will most likely become the new top high school student in the country.

As soon as he heard the name Suzuki Nobisuke, Sakurai Kentaro's mania seemed to disappear and he visibly calmed down.

He also wants to take the title of the country's best center from Nobisuke Suzuki.

"Coach, I understand!"

"As long as you understand!"

Coach Domoto breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that Kentaro Sakurai would make a stupid mistake like he did last year.

At this time, Kazunari Fukatsu suddenly stood up and came to Coach Domoto.

"Coach, I want to play!"

Fukatsu's eyes became more focused, staring at Coach Domoto without blinking.

Coach Domoto asked worriedly, "Have you thought it through?"

Among many coaches, Coach Domoto is the most cautious coach.

Yesterday, he also specially invited several Sanno Industrial graduates to imitate the Shohoku team and serve as sparring partners for Sanno Industrial.

Unfortunately, the effect is very poor.

The reason is simple, many players of the Xiangbei team are too...weak, and they said they can't imitate them.

As for Murasakibara, they were also unable to imitate him well.

Coach Domoto originally thought that Kashima Kaede could limit Murasaki's performance, but he found out that he was overthinking.

"I've thought it through!" Shenjin said in a firm tone.

"Now that you are ready, let's go on stage!"

Coach Domoto made the decision.

On the side, Ohkawada, who was substituted off the field, was not sad at all, but relieved instead.

Because of the height difference, he was bullied badly by Murasakibara.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.

"Fukatsu is back on the field, and we're in a bit of trouble!"

Looking at Fukatsu who came back on the court, Murasakibara became more solemn.

Compared with Yamatoda, Fukatsu is obviously more difficult to deal with.

At this time, Murasakibara did not take Ohkawada seriously and decided to wait until he grew taller.

After his mentality returned to normal, Shenjin began to organize the attack in an orderly manner.

Soon, Fukatsu passed the ball to Ito Yu who ran into the open space.

Ito Yu added two more points for Sanno with a simple jump shot.

Offense and defense transition!

Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court, his eyes fell on Fukatsu, looking for an opportunity to break through.

Suddenly, Murasakibara moved, and once again used a simple and clear cross step to easily break through Fukatsu's defense.

Despite Fukatsu's best efforts to defend, he was still unable to stop Murasakibara.

However, Fukatsu adopted a different defensive strategy, and kept pestering Mugure like a sticky candy. In order to get rid of Fukatsu's defense, Mugure had to expend more energy.

After breaking through Fukatsu, Ito Yu quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense.

In front was Ito Yu, and in the back was Fukatsu Kazunari.

This is Coach Domoto's tactic. He would rather let other Shohoku players score than let Murasakibara score again.

Without hesitation, Murasakibara immediately made a ground pass and passed the ball to Ichiro Sato who was in the open position.

After receiving the basketball, Ichiro Sato immediately jumped and shot.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed up, it was Kentaro Sakurai.

Ichiro Sato was startled and subconsciously raised the height of his attack.

bang~
The basketball hit the rim and bounced back. Akagi tried to grab the offensive rebound, but was entangled by Ito Yu and failed.

In the end, the rebound was grabbed by Kashima Kaede, who picked up the basketball and quickly rushed across the court.

Fast break!

At this moment, all the players of Sanno Industrial rushed to the front court.

This was also the arrangement of Coach Domoto, who intended to increase the number of fast breaks to further speed up the physical consumption of the Xiangbei team.

As we all know, the Xiangbei team has three fatal flaws, namely lineup, coordination and physical fitness!

Increasing the number of fast breaks effectively accelerated the physical consumption of Xiangbei players.

Of course, the physical strength of Sanno Industrial's players is also being consumed at a faster rate.

The difference is that Sanno Industrial, like Hainan High School and Ryonan, has very strict daily training and its physical reserves far exceed those of Shohoku.

In addition, Xiangbei had a tough battle yesterday. Given the state of Xiangbei players, they may not be able to hold on for long.

"Return to defense!"

At this moment, the Xiangbei players tried their best to chase back.

Among them, Murasakibara was the fastest. He quickly rushed towards Kashima Kaede, trying to stop Sanno Industrial's quick attack.

Kashima Kaede Frost did not stick to the ball and immediately passed it to Fukatsu.

Mitsui immediately sped up and rushed over from the other side.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Fukatsu did not catch the ball but instead actively dodged it, and the basketball flew past him.

This was not a mistake, because Minoru Matsumoto happened to be there.

Unstoppable, Minoru Matsumoto quickly rushed into the basket and scored a layup.

"Don't panic, everyone. Stay calm!"

In order to prevent his teammates from getting impatient, Murasaki decided to play it safe.

Following his eye signal, Akagi took the initiative to step forward to screen for Murasakibara.

Akagi is strong and his pick-and-roll quality is absolutely top-notch. The key is that the cooperation between him and Murasakibara is the best in the team, which is called the Murasakibara connection!
The reason why it was Murasakibara instead of Akagi who connected this time was mainly because the status of both parties had changed.

With the help of Akagi's pick-and-roll, Murasakibara quickly got rid of Fukatsu.

Kentaro Sakurai immediately chose to switch defense and stood two steps away from Murasakibara.

Mu Mu rushed towards him, stopped suddenly, and then did a Buddha worship gesture.

Kentaro Sakurai thought that Murasakibara wanted to make a quick stop and jump shot, so he subconsciously straightened his body and was about to raise his hands.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Murasakibara started quickly and easily completed the breakthrough.

Ito Yu immediately left Sato Ichiro behind and tried to make up for the defense.

Suddenly, Murasakibara made a ground pass, and Akagi, who cut into the basket, caught the ball and made a violent gorilla dunk.

Shen Jin, who was on guard, had no intention of trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands, and quickly moved to the side.

Although Fukatsu's confrontation was good, the weight difference was there and the confrontation between the two was completely not on the same level.

Bang~
Akagi hung on the basket and scored two points for the Xiangbei team.

After falling to the ground, Akagi roared at Sakurai Kentaro and slapped his chest with his hands, just like a gorilla in a zoo.

Kentaro Sakurai glared at Akagi, and his mania began to stir again.

"Akagi, hurry back to defense!"

In order to avoid being hit by the opponent's fast break again, Murasakibara hurriedly gave a loud reminder.

Without hesitation, Akagi quickly returned to defense.

Seeing that there was no chance to launch a fast break, Sanno Industry, under the organization of Fukatsu, fought a positional battle.

After returning to the game, Fukatsu focused on organization and defense.

Under Fukatsu's organization, Sannoh's offensive system was well organized and no longer as disorganized as before, and the offensive efficiency was further improved.

In addition, although Fukatsu was still unable to limit Murasakibara's performance, his unremitting physical defense, as well as his teammates' backup and assist defense, made Murasakibara consume more physical energy.

As his physical strength quickly depleted, Murasakibara's shooting accuracy began to decline.

Under such circumstances, Sanno Industries has firmly gained the upper hand.

Shohoku's lead was quickly eroded and was soon overtaken by Sanno Industrial.

Soon, the first half was over.

46:50
Xiangbei is in front, and Shanwang is in the back.

Among them, Mu Mu scored 33 points in the first half.

If we continue like this, we can probably get 50 or 60 points.

During the half-time break, Murasakibara tore open a Brazilian banana to replenish his energy.

Suddenly, a piece of the Brazilian banana fell off and landed on the jersey.

Murasaki is frugal by nature and hates wasting things the most. He would eat up every grain of rice in his bowl, let alone a banana.

This good habit was developed when he watched "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" as a child.
