Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 189 Advance to the finals!
If it were someone else, Murasakibara might have used an aerial pull-up to avoid the block and make a layup.

If the opponent is Fujima, then it would be no different.

In terms of confrontation, even though Fujima strengthened his confrontation, due to the short time, there was still a huge gap between him and Murasakibara.

Now, Murasakibara’s physical confrontation ability is comparable to that of Amu, which is also the main reason why he can play inside.

bang~
The two people came into contact in mid-air.

With his excellent jumping, physical confrontation and balance abilities, Murasakibara easily knocked away Fujima who was trying to block him.

Bang~
Fujima fell to the floor and watched helplessly as Murasakibara scored a dunk.

Murasakibara grabbed the basket, looked down at Fujima below, then let go of the basket and it fell to the ground.

"Is it okay!"

Murasakibara took the initiative to pull Fujima up. During the Autumn National Games, both of them had relatively gentle personalities and they established a preliminary friendship.

Fujima complained speechlessly: "Do I look like I'm okay?"

After being pulled up by Murasakibara, he felt a pain all over his body, as if his bones were falling apart.

However, Fujima did not complain.

There are no eternal enemies on the basketball court, only eternal rivals. Neither he nor Murasakibara will show mercy.

Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Just think about it. If you take it seriously, you will lose.

"You are nothing but an animal. I feel like your resistance is no less than that of the middle-aged man from Hainan High School."

The middle-aged man that Fujima was referring to was naturally Amu.

Half a year ago, "Basketball Weekly" published a news story about four new superstars from Kanagawa.

Among them, in the introduction of Amu, there is a hellish joke about Mitsui teasing Amu.

Therefore, Amu was awarded the title of 'middle-aged man'.

It just so happened that Hainan High School was very close to here, and I was sitting in the first row, so I happened to hear their conversation.

"Amu, look, someone is teasing you for being middle-aged again."

"Amu, tell us the truth, did you really fail a grade?"

"Amu, in a few months, it will be the 16-year anniversary of your failure to hold back a grade!"

"It's confirmed. Is this the reason why our Hainan High School is the best in Kanagawa?"

……

The Hainan players were stunned at first, and then they started teasing Amu.

Rumor has it that Amu has been held back for 15 years!
This rumor is most likely Mitsui's masterpiece.

"I'm really...only 15!"

Amu's rebuttal seemed very weak, and then he glared fiercely at Fujima on the field.

"Amu, you just hesitated!"

Coach Gaotou spread out his paper fan in amusement, and then pointed at Akagi on the field: "But Akagi does look older than Amu!"

In order to ease Amu's embarrassment, Coach Gaotou took the initiative to excuse Amu.

The players of Hainan High School looked at Akagi on the field and nodded in agreement.

Coach Takato is right, Akagi does look more anxious than Amu.

As for Uozumi of Ryonan, his current appearance has not reached the level of the plot years, and he cannot become 'Akagi's father' for the time being!
In SD, the three oldest players are all apes, namely the East African Ape Man, the Monkey Boss and the Gorilla.

As for Murasame, Itakura, Kono, Nagano and others, they are still one level lower than these three ape-like creatures.

In order to end this awkward topic, Amu took the initiative to say, "Takasago and Akagi look so similar, are you sure they are not half-brothers?"

When everyone heard what Amu said, they all looked at Takasago Kazuma.

Takamiya Benyu said jokingly: "You know what, Takasago really looks like Akagi!"

Takasago wanted to refute, but he was powerless.

If he is put together with Akagi, it is indeed easy to be misunderstood, which is no wonder that Sakuragi passed the ball to him in the future.

"Okay, everyone, focus on watching the game!"

Coach Gaotou folded his paper fan, and the expression on his face was not as relaxed as expected, but rather full of solemnity.

Because Xiangbei is too strong, much stronger than imagined.

Originally, in Coach Takato's opinion, even if the Xiangbei team made some progress, it would definitely be limited.

However, Xiangbei's progress far exceeded his imagination.

In addition to the Big Three of Xiangbei, even the role players have improved a lot, and some of them have even reached the level of rotation for strong teams.

How could Coach Gaotou not be worried about a team like this?

At this moment, Xiangbei has become Coach Takato's imaginary enemy.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, their next opponent will be the Xiangbei team.

While Coach Takato was thinking about how to deal with Shohoku, the game on the field changed again.

After Mitsui took the initiative to switch defense, Fujima was no longer as efficient as before, and his hit rate dropped visibly.

On the other hand, on the Shohoku team, Murasakibara began to implement the unlimited singles tactics.

On the court, Murasakibara easily used a crossover step to break through Taro Aso's defense and made a quick stop jump shot.

In the next round, Murasakibara backed up Aso Taro, used the Sikma step to create space, turned around and shot a fadeaway jump shot.

Taro Aso tried his best to jump up and interfere, but he found in despair that he could not interfere with Murasakibara's fadeaway jump shot at all.

Watching the basketball leap over his fingertips, he could only pray that the ball would not go in.

Unfortunately, it backfired!
shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful parabola and fell into the basket accurately.

However, Murasakibara's offensive performance continues!
He completely let himself go and displayed his entire arsenal.

Crossover step, pull-up jump shot, Euro step, turnaround jump shot, extreme pull-up shot, step-back jump shot, fade-away jump shot, post-up singles, fingertip layup, Sikma step, inside footwork, Sam Gold pass...

Murasakibara began to transform into a scoring machine, showing amazing scoring ability and high scoring efficiency, which amazed everyone present.

In just five minutes, Murasakibara scored 15 points, and his personal score has accumulated to 40 points.

Under Murasakibara's crazy attack, Taro Aso seemed very helpless and completely lost the confidence and vitality he had at the beginning of the game.

His defense was useless against Murasakibara. Every defense became extremely difficult. No matter how hard he tried, he could not stop Murasakibara from scoring.

Murasakibara's outburst not only made his opponents feel desperate, but also made the audience crazy.

Murasaki's crazy scoring not only won valuable points for the team, but also brought a visual feast to the audience.

For a moment, applause and cheers rang out one after another, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium was completely ignited.

Under the leadership of Murasakibara, the Shohoku team clearly had the advantage on the field.

Until then, Shoyo coach's eyes swept across the players on the bench one by one, and finally stopped on Hasegawa.

"Hasegawa, go replace Aso and leave Murasakibara to you. You must limit his performance!"

"I……"

Hasegawa pointed at himself, trembling all over, with a look of disbelief on his face. The reason he was trembling all over was mainly because of the opponent he was about to face.

"No, coach, how can I restrict Mu Mu? You think too highly of me!"

Hasegawa was devastated, but he was just a nobody in the Shoyo team, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey the coach's orders.

As soon as Taro Aso returned to the bench, he covered his head with a towel. He was in an extremely low mood and full of frustration.

Under his defense, Murasakibara has scored 42 points.

But he only scored 8 points, not even reaching double digits.

Compared with his previous brilliant performances, Taro Aso can be said to have performed far below his standard in this game.

Although he only scored 8 points, he is not Goat after all and is not that shameless.

Even though he only scored 8 points in the finals and was criticized by the media, Goat still shamelessly tweeted that day: Now or never!

When it comes to being shameless in the entire NBA, Goat is the best!

The reason why Shoyo coach substituted Taro Aso at this time was because he didn't want Taro Aso to score double digits.

In this way, Taro Aso can take the blame better.

He racked his brains to keep this job.

At this time, the game on the field is still going on.

Under Mitsui's tight defense, Fujima's jump shot missed again.

Soon, Murasakibara received another pass from his teammate.

Looking at the obviously overly nervous Hasegawa in front of him, Mu Mu casually said, "Do you want to dance too?"

Gudong~
Hasegawa became more nervous after hearing this. His muscles were tense and his limbs were stiff, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

With just one step, Murasakibara broke through Hasegawa's defense.

Hasegawa was too nervous, his level of nervousness was similar to that of Sakuragi when he first appeared.

The difference is that this is not Hasegawa's first appearance. He even faced Murasakibara directly during the county competition.

The difference is that Murasakibara is obviously stronger now, especially in offense and defense, he beats Taro Aso.

After breaking through Hasegawa, Yuya Kimura rushed to reinforce the defense.

He subconsciously thought that Murasakibara would score again.

However, Murasakibara chose to pass the ball.

When Yuya Kimura was defending Mu Gu, Nobuhiko Okamoto just ran to the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

When catching the ball, Nobuhiko Okamoto had some free time to take aim before throwing the basketball in his hand.

shuh~
Nobuhiko Okamoto made a three-pointer, extending Shohoku's lead to 32 points.

Such a huge score difference, coupled with the fact that there were only ten minutes left in the game, caused the morale of the Xiangyang players to almost collapse.

In such a short time, they have almost no chance of turning defeat into victory.

This time, no matter how Fujima encouraged them, the Shoyo players were in low spirits and became like zombies.

Since the Shoyo coach was slow to replace the main players, the Xiangbei main players had to stay on the court for two more minutes, expanding their lead to 35 points.

Until then, Coach Anxi waved his hand, replaced all the main players with five players on and five off, and prepared for tomorrow's game.

When the main players of Xiangbei left the court, a burst of warm cheers broke out in the gymnasium.

The sound came towards them like a tide, wave after wave.

Among them, Murasakibara is the most popular.

这场比赛，木暮上场32分钟，一共拿到了45分11助攻7篮板5抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

赤木则是标准的15+10，三井则是20+5+5。

The three giants of Xiangbei scored a total of 80 points!
As Xiangbei replaced the substitute lineup, the Xiangbei team was almost beaten back to its original form.

The substitute players of the Xiangbei team are at best at the level of the starting players of a weak team. Only Ichiro Sato and Kumamoto have reached the level of the starting players of a strong team. Naturally, they are no match for the main players of Shoyo.

Although the Xiangbei team's substitute lineup is weak, they are, after all, a fresh force with plenty of physical strength.

As long as we delay the game reasonably, it won't be difficult to drag the game to the end with such a big lead.

Most importantly, the Xiangyang players have lost their spirit.

Not long after, the electronic sound indicating the end of the game finally sounded.

Even though Shoyo fought back in garbage time, the hole they had dug was too big, and in the end Shohoku was able to defeat Shoyo with a 16-point lead and advance to the finals.

At the moment the game ended, the Xiangbei players hugged each other and began to celebrate this hearty victory.

On the other side, Xiangyang players were full of loss and unwillingness.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.

The winter trials are an elimination system, and losing this game means they have completely lost the qualification to compete for a place in the winter competition.

In addition, the senior high school players, led by Taro Aso, will also bid farewell to the high school department with regret.

Taro Aso took off the towel covering his head and shouted to Fujima, "Fujima, Shoyo will be in your hands from now on. I hope the team can go further under your leadership!"

"team leader!"

Immersed in loss, Fujima turned his head and looked at Taro Aso, not knowing what to say.

"Before I graduate, I will clear the obstacles for you to move up. This is also the last thing I will do for the team!"

While speaking, Taro Aso took a deep look at the Shoyo coach, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Fujima, remember to find a good coach for the team!"

Without waiting for Fujima to try to persuade him to stay, Taro Aso walked dejectedly towards the player tunnel, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Coach Xiangyang probably doesn’t know that his time in Xiangyang is also entering the countdown.

After defeating Shoyo, the Shohoku team did not leave.

They sat in the audience seats provided for them by the organizing committee, ready to watch the match between Hainan High School and Tsukuba.

In their opinion, this game can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Although among the top eight teams in the county, Tsukuba can be said to be the strongest, especially with coach Kazumi Kawasaki.

However, they are facing the champion Hainan, who are still among the top four teams in the country.

Facing the team of Tsukuba Tsukuba, Hainan High School did not dare to be careless and sent all its main players into the field.

Tsukubu is not the weak Takenoko. They are probably at the level of the top 16 in the country. How could Hainan High School underestimate them?

After the game started, as expected, Hainan High School completely suppressed Tsukushi Tsukushi and also got off to a dream start.

Under the leadership of Kazumi Kawasaki, Takeshi Tsukushi also fought back, but Hainan High School played too steadily and the gap between the two sides inevitably widened.

In the first half alone, Hainan High School gained a lead of nearly 30 points.

This shows the huge gap between the two teams.

By the end of the game, Hainan High School won the game with a huge advantage of 52 points and met Xiangbei in the finals.
