Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 178: The famous scene

"Danger!"

Seeing the two people's jumping posture, the onlookers' hearts were in their throats and they couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat for them.

In order to block the ball, Sakuragi jumped in an abnormal posture regardless of the risk of injury.

At the critical moment, Rukawa Kaede made a difficult decision.

In order to prevent Sakuragi from getting hurt, he had to drop the basketball in his hand.

Bang~
As a dull sound rang out, at the last moment, Sakuragi and Rukawa tensed their arm muscles and each grabbed one side of the basket.

"You big idiot, you want to die!"

Rukawa rarely showed his emotions. If Sakuragi had continued like that, he would probably have lost his balance in the air.

"Sly fox, I won't lose to you!"

Sakuragi fought back without giving in and started a verbal battle with Rukawa.

The two men grabbed the basket with one hand and started to pinch each other with the other hand.

As the two people pulled, the basketball hoop shook violently, and the basket made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, as if it was in danger of breaking at any time.

Famous scene: Basket shock scene!

Mu Mu had heard of earthquakes, house earthquakes, and car earthquakes, but he had never seen a basket earthquake!

Now he finally saw it.

"Stop it, don't fight anymore!"

"The basket is going to be destroyed!"

Under the restraint of the crowd, the two had to let go of the basket and fell to the ground.

"asshole!"

Akagi was furious and punched both men in the head.

Bang~Pah~
Suddenly, Akagi's fist aimed at Rukawa was knocked away by Murasakibara in time.

"It hurts!"

On the other side, Sakuragi squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in pain.

"Mumu!"

Akagi looked at Mumu suspiciously.
Mu Mu shook his head: "Akagi, Rukawa did nothing wrong, you shouldn't treat him like this!"

No matter what disputes Sakuragi and Rukawa have, Rukawa is always the innocent victim.

When Akagi punished the two of them, he always treated them equally and punished them together with Sakuragi.

I have to say that Akagi is not a very qualified captain. For example, he is irritable, loses his temper in key games, and beats people without asking questions...

No matter how you look at it, the gentle and patient Murasakibara is the most suitable candidate for captain.

Rukawa looked at Murasakibara in surprise, and then revealed a hint of imperceptible gratitude.

Akagi took a deep breath, and his anger was relieved, allowing his brain to think clearly. He then took the initiative to apologize to Rukawa.

"Kumure, you're right! Sorry, Rukawa!"

"It's not fair, Muguruma-senpai, you can't be partial to Rukawa!"

Suddenly, Sakuragi's voice rang out.

"asshole!"

When Akagi heard what Sakuragi said, he became furious and punched Sakuragi again.

bang~
Murasaki did not stop it and let Akagi teach Sakuragi a lesson.

"Sure enough, Sakuragi was beaten by the gorilla again!"

"I can't help it, Sakuragi just deserves a beating sometimes!"

"Actually, Rukawa has a pretty good temper. If someone else were to deal with Sakuragi, they would definitely not want to deal with him again."

“Maybe this is the way they get along.”

On the side, the Sakuragi Army began to comment.

"Assholes, what are you guys mumbling about!"

Sakuragi suddenly stood up from the ground, and the Sakuragi Army, fearing a headbutt attack, immediately scattered.

"Sakuragi, it's your turn to attack!"

Murasaki stopped Sakuragi in time.

Although Rukawa Kaede gave up the ball on his own initiative in order to protect Sakuragi, he ultimately failed to make the shot.

According to the rules, the ball changed hands.

"Haha, I successfully defended Rukawa Kaede!"

After being reminded by Murasakibara, Sakuragi finally reacted and laughed with his hands on his hips.

"This guy is so shameless!"

All the onlookers looked at Sakuragi in silence.

Outside the three-point line, Sakuragi received a pass from Rukawa and launched an attack with the ball.

Sakuragi's dribbling has reached an excellent level, and his progress can be described as visible to the naked eye.

Of course, since the training time was only two and a half months, Sakuragi also has many shortcomings.

At the first moment, Sakuragi launched his most familiar bulldozer style of play.

A month ago, he used this move to defeat Oda Ryumasa.

The bulldozer style is known for its power and speed, and can effectively break through the opponent's defense.

To put it simply, it means using physical force to defeat the opponent, which does not involve much technical content.

Rukawa quickly moved sideways and flexibly blocked Sakuragi's attack route.

The confrontation between the two was about to break out. Sakuragi did not back down. He forcibly pushed Rukawa away and rushed to the basket at high speed.

Rukawa immediately turned around and chased back. His speed was very fast, not much inferior to Sakuragi.

However, as soon as Sakuragi stepped into the free throw line, he jumped up and made a powerful tomahawk slam dunk.

By the time Rukawa wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Bang~
With a loud bang, Sakuragi dunked the ball into the basket with force.

"Power, speed, burst, jumping, everything is top-notch!"

Not far away, Coach Anzai, holding the cup in both hands, looked at Sakuragi with eyes full of admiration.

"Ryukawa Kaede, have you seen how powerful this genius is?"

After successfully scoring a point, Sakuragi instantly regained his confidence.

Looking at the mysteriously confident Sakuragi, everyone didn't know what to say.

"Big idiot!"

Rukawa spread his hands and sighed softly.

"Come again!"

Soon, Sakuragi launched another attack.

It was still the bulldozer style of play, but the difference was that Rukawa was prepared and quickly entangled Sakuragi.

For a moment, Sakuragi couldn't get rid of Rukawa.

Sakuragi's offensive skill is too simple. He only knows this one trick now, and he is easily targeted.

If facing a player like Oda Ryumasa, Sakuragi can still use his body to overpower the opponent, but Rukawa is obviously not in this category.

Rukawa's physical fitness is not much inferior to Sakuragi's.

Sakuragi gritted his teeth and rushed to the basket despite Rukawa's defense, trying to force a slam dunk.

Just when Sakuragi was about to make a layup, Rukawa stole the ball with his excellent reaction and agility.

slap~
"Hey, where's my ball?"

When Sakuragi jumped up, he found that the basketball in his hand was gone.

bang~
Due to severe distraction, Sakuragi's forehead hit the backboard heavily.

I was careless and didn't dodge!

"Ouch!"

Sakuragi screamed in pain and waved his hands subconsciously, just grabbing the basket and avoiding falling to the ground.

However, there was also a neat red scratch on his forehead.

"What a cunning fox, actually attacked a 13-year-old middle school student like me!"

Sakuragi rubbed his forehead and looked at Rukawa angrily.

Not far away, Mito Yohei reminded him at the right time: "Sakuragi, you forgot that Rukawa is the same age as you!"

Sakuragi couldn't say anything to refute.

"This farce must end!"

Rukawa ignored Sakuragi and went outside the three-point line.

Sakuragi passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede as if to vent his anger. The moment he received the ball, Rukawa Kaede started immediately.

Sakuragi wasn't paying enough attention, and before he could react, he was passed by Rukawa.

The next moment, Sakuragi turned around quickly, waving his hands desperately, and chased back as fast as he could.

He was incredibly fast and in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Rukawa again, trying to block his attack route.

At this time, Rukawa Kaede stopped abruptly and suddenly lowered his center of gravity, as if he wanted to shoot.

Sakuragi subconsciously straightened his body, stood on tiptoes, and raised his hands.

Rukawa started quickly and passed by Sakuragi.

This is a typical Buddha worship action!
Rukawa's breakthrough made Sakuragi's defense seem pale and powerless, and Sakuragi had completely lost his chance.

This time, Sakuragi had no chance.

Rukawa jumped high, stretched his body as far as possible in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

Bang~
After scoring this goal, Rukawa won the duel.

"Damn it!"

Sakuragi was furious and couldn't accept the fact that he was defeated by Rukawa.

"I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Rukawa picked up the green tights and threw it to Sakuragi.

"Just change it!"

Sakuragi went to the locker room with the green tights and prepared to change clothes.

Rukawa followed closely behind, standing by the sink and taking off his clothes.

After training for a whole morning, his clothes were already soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Rukawa rolled up his clothes and twisted them hard with both hands.

Wow~
Sweat poured out of his clothes and dripped onto the sink.

"Tsk, just a little bit!"

Sakuragi's voice suddenly sounded, and he also took off his clothes.

Recently his training intensity is no less than Rukawa's, and his clothes are also soaked with sweat.

Rukawa's actions once again aroused Sakuragi's competitive spirit.

Since you can't beat him in basketball, then just beat Rukawa in other aspects.

So, Sakuragi imitated Rukawa's movements and twisted it hard.

Wow~
Looking at the sweat squeezing out of his clothes, Sakuragi smiled smugly.

"I still have plenty!"

In order to completely surpass Rukawa, Sakuragi stepped up his efforts this time.

baah~
Vigorously miracle!
Under Sakuragi's astonished gaze, his clothes could no longer bear the force and made a sound of being overwhelmed.

"Ah, my clothes!"

Sakuragi quickly spread out his clothes and found that they were so torn that they were obviously unwearable.

"idiot!"

Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but complain, then turned and left.

"Sakuragi, I'll lend you one!"

Not far away, Mu Mu shook his head and took out a T-shirt with a kitten pattern on it from his closet.

As we all know, Murasakibara has a lot of cute T-shirts, which is his style of dressing.

Of course, this refers to the comics, and the animation does not express this aspect.

"Put it on, don't catch a cold."

Murasaki handed the clothes to Sakuragi.

"Muro-senpai, you are so kind to me!"

Sakuragi took the T-shirt and looked grateful.

Murasaki smiled slightly and won Sakuragi's trust.

Sakuragi quickly changed his clothes and immediately put on the green tights.

When Sakuragi came out of the locker room, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Sakuragi didn't feel nervous at all. He was very thick-skinned and naturally didn't care about other people's eyes.

"Mitsui, this outfit is quite warm!"

Sakuragi felt warm all over.

In order to test the quality of the green tights, Sakuragi began to stretch and kick his legs in place, and even tried to do a split.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Sakuragi screamed strangely and looked painful. It turned out that he accidentally hit his testicles while doing the splits.

Sakuragi took a deep breath, endured the pain and sat on the ground, saying with difficulty: "This... this quality is also excellent!"

The quality of the green tights was better than expected. There was no sign of tearing even with such a big movement, which got Sakuragi's approval!

"Don't you see how much money I spent?"

Mitsui pulled his hair, revealing two shiny front teeth.

Without the two-year gap, his two front teeth were saved.

Sakuragi finally recovered and said shamelessly: "Then it's mine from now on!"

"no!"

Mitsui flatly refused.

This green tights cost him a lot of money, and it was a pre-ordered piece of clothing, so he felt bad about giving it to Sakuragi.

Sakuragi stood up from the ground, hooked his arm around Mitsui's neck, and dragged him aside: "Xiaosan, you don't want that photo either..."

"I'll send it, I'll send it, isn't that okay?"

Under Sakuragi's threat, Mitsui had to compromise and give the green tights to Sakuragi.

"Then I'm welcome!"

Sakuragi patted Mitsui on the shoulder and wanted to go on the court to continue training.

In order to defeat Rukawa Kaede, he decided to learn from his mistakes and increase the intensity of his training.

However, at this moment, Coach Anzai waved to Sakuragi.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

Sakuragi quickly walked up to Coach Anzai and subconsciously reached out to pinch the fat under his neck.

"Wow, it still feels so good!"

The tender and smooth touch is really irresistible.

Sakuragi's behavior was inappropriate, but Coach Anzai was not dissatisfied with it.

"Sakuragi, your father has found a job."

Coach Anxi's calm voice sounded.

"Ah, really?"

Sakuragi was surprised at first, then smiled excitedly.

Because of heart problems, his father has been unable to find a suitable job and has to stay at home unemployed, living on the meager savings he had accumulated before.

Sakuragi asked anxiously: "Dad, what is the job?"

"Doing odd jobs!"

Coach Anxi spoke briefly and to the point, with a look in his eyes that revealed a hint of depth.

"What? A handyman! In my father's situation, this job isn't suitable, right?"

Sakuragi frowned slightly, he was very aware of his father's physical condition.

Coach Anzai patiently explained: "To be precise, I'm doing odd jobs at the Kanagawa Basketball Organizing Committee. Don't worry, there's less work there, and you don't have to do heavy work. The most important thing is that you can get a stable income regardless of drought or flood."

Sakuragi was overjoyed to hear Coach Anzai say this.

"Dad, thank you so much!"

After realizing what was happening, Sakuragi quickly thanked Coach Anzai.

"Sakuragi, you should thank Mugure-san more. Ten days ago, when the chairman of the Kanagawa organizing committee came to pay his respects, he mentioned this to the chairman."

Coach Anxi waved his hand and did not take any credit.

What Murasakibara did was simply to lighten Sakuragi's burden so that he could concentrate on training without distraction.

"Senior Mu Mu!"

Sakuragi couldn't help but be deeply moved. Murasakibara always appeared when he needed help the most, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, making him feel extremely warm and at ease.

If the age difference wasn't so big, he really wanted to make him his godfather!
Murasaki: Don’t repay kindness with enmity!
