Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 191 Ten Minutes 20 Minutes

6:0
At the beginning of the game, Murasakibara showed excellent competitive state and his performance was perfect.

While scoring 6 points on the offensive end, he also contributed 2 steals and 1 block on the defensive end.

These data all come from Takamiya Motoyu. If he continues like this, Murasakibara might have a chance to get a quadruple-double.

On the other hand, Takamiya Motoyu did not find any chance to score under the defense of Murasakibara.

The arrogant Takamiya Motoyu naturally would not accept this. He wanted to continue to fight Murasakibara one-on-one until he defeated his opponent.

During Hainan High School's attack, just as Amu passed half court with the ball, Takamiya Motoyu again took the initiative to ask for the ball.

He is eager to break the scoring drought to prove his strength.

As the team's ace, he doesn't want to be like Taro Aso, who only scored 8 points in a game.

For a top scorer, not scoring in double digits is a huge shame!
Amu hesitated for a moment, because he could see that Takamiya Motoyu was not in good condition.

However, the situation was stronger than the person, and Amu still passed the ball.

Takamiya Benyu is the captain and ace of the team, and he is also a senior high school player. His status is far higher than Amu. What qualifications does he have to refuse? Does he still want to stay in the team?

The island nation is a country that attaches great importance to hierarchy, which can be seen from many animations, such as the bullying of younger students by older students.

This concept is formed from top to bottom, which is related to the country's concepts and customs.

Takamiya Benyu looked solemn. He must score this goal no matter what.

As the Kanagawa Goat, he doesn't want to go to college with failure!

He wants to defeat Murasakibara and challenge for honor once again.

Unfortunately, Takamiya Motoyu's breakthrough ended in failure again.

No matter how hard he tried, Murasakibara's defense was like an insurmountable barrier, preventing him from taking a single step forward.

Instead, under the death entanglement of Murasakibara, Takamiya Motoyu was forced to grab the ball with both hands.

There was no way out for him.

Either go for it, force a shot, try your luck, or pass the ball to a teammate.

However, Takamiya Motoyu's deep pride and confidence did not allow him to give up easily.

Although both are team ace players, Takamiya Motoyu's "idol burden" is far greater than Aso Taro.

"team leader!"

Amu wanted to step forward to provide support.

Hearing Amu's voice, Takamiya Motoyu seemed a little hesitant.

"Hey, someone is here to pick you up, hurry up and pass the message over!"

Muguro pretended to be contemptuous, as if he was mocking Takamiya Motoyu.

"I don't want to save face!"

Murasakibara's provocation worked. Takamiya Motoyu was unwilling to show weakness in front of his opponent, and even more unwilling to admit his incompetence.

He is the Kanagawa Goat!

So, Takamiya Motoyu first made a passing motion, and then without looking at the effect, he jumped up and made a pull-up jump shot.

The so-called pull-up jump shot is actually a forced shot. It looks good, but it is also very dependent on physical fitness.

The reason why McGrady's career shooting percentage is not high is mainly due to his shot selection and tendency, many of which are long two-pointers.

As we all know, the closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate, and McGrady's long two-pointers account for about 40% of all offensive means, which is high.

Murasakibara was not affected by Takamiya Motoyu's feint, and with his extreme reaction, he jumped up immediately.

In mid-air, he stretched out his right hand and slapped the basketball.

Takamiya Benyu was startled and quickly raised his shooting height, leaning his body slightly backward before he threw the ball.

However, fate did not seem to be on his side.

bang~
Although he avoided being blocked by Murasakibara, the basketball still hit the rim and bounced out.

At this moment, many viewers who originally supported Takamiya Motoyu couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

After three rounds of competition, Takamiya Benyu was completely defeated, and the winner was immediately clear!

Under the basket, Akagi trapped Ikeda Kazuhiro behind him and protected the rebound.

In terms of rebounding level, Akagi is not much inferior to Ikeda Kazuhiro.

All this is mainly due to the teaching of Watanabe Masao, which put Akagi on the fast track.

In the original work, Akagi was able to become the number one center in Kanagawa without any guidance.

Now with the guidance of Watanabe Masao, Akagi's progress will naturally be much faster.

According to Murasakibara's estimation, Akagi's strength is not only not inferior to his sophomore year of high school, but even stronger. At least he has developed the ability to make open mid-range shots.

When the basketball hit the rim, out of trust in Akagi, Murasakibara rushed to the front court first and launched a fast break.

Seeing Murasakibara's actions, Takamiya Benyu thought something was wrong and chased after him relentlessly.

Seeing that Murasakibara had already rushed to the front court, Akagi immediately threw the ball with force and passed it over at high speed.

However, Akagi's pass was a bit crooked, so Murasakibara had to make adjustments.

By the time Murasakibara caught the ball, Takamiya Motoyu had already caught up with him.

Murasakibara did not panic. He used the European step to easily shake Takamiya Motoyu's center of gravity, and then broke into the basket and scored a layup.

8:0
This goal not only brought Murasakibara's score to 8 points, but also further hit Takamiya Motoyu's self-confidence.

"I know everything you can do, and I can use it better than you. Oh, and I also know everything you can't do!"

Murasakibara continued to make matters worse and he would not give up the idea of ​​striking the enemy.

"Am I really no match for this guy? No, it must be my bad luck!"

Takamiya Motoyu was like a gambler who had lost all his money. He was unwilling to accept the fact and attributed his failure to luck.

beep~
At this moment, Coach Gaotou decisively called a timeout.

Coach Takato stood up and looked sharply at each player, especially Takamiya Motoyu.

Takamiya Motoyu's condition was not right, which made Coach Takato full of worries.

As the captain, ace, and top scorer of the team, Takamiya Motoyu's importance to the team is unquestionable.

Once he fails, who will be able to take on his responsibilities?

Being stared at by Coach Takato made Takamiya Motoyu feel anxious and uneasy.

His eyes wandered around, he had lost his former confidence, and he seemed to be avoiding something.

As a veteran coach, Coach Takato knows very well that if he lets Takamiya Benyu continue, not only will he himself fall into deeper trouble, but the team will also be greatly affected.

He couldn't let Takamiya Motoyu continue to make mistakes, otherwise the team would probably be doomed.

"Takamiya, your mind is in turmoil!"

Coach Takato stood in front of Takamiya Motoyu, looking him straight in the eyes, his voice full of sternness.

He hopes that Takamiya Motoyu will realize the seriousness of the problem, face himself, quickly adjust his mentality, and make the most reasonable judgment.

Soon, under the strict guidance of Coach Takato, Takamiya Motoyu took a deep breath, barely released the distracting thoughts and anxiety in his heart, and gradually calmed down.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the game.

In Hainan High School's attack, this time, Takamiya Benyu did not take the initiative to ask for the ball.

He began to respond to Coach Gaotou's expectations with actions and started running on the court.

However, as a ace player, Takamiya Motoyu's running skills were not outstanding. He was just running around blindly. Not only did he fail to get rid of Murasakibara, but his efforts were in vain.

Amu stepped into the three-point line with the ball and looked at Nobuhiko Okamoto in front of him.

"Let him shoot, he can't make it!"

Mitsui's voice sounded. Okamoto Nobuhiko immediately took two steps away, assuming a posture of defending against breakthroughs but not against shots.

Amu glanced at Mitsui and immediately responded: "Then I will vote!"

He adjusted his breathing, then raised the basketball and aimed carefully at the basket.

Under the surprised gaze of Nobuhiko Okamoto, Amu pushed the ball out and made a shot that he had practiced countless times.

His shooting posture is a bit ugly, a typical flick shot.

It’s not that Amu doesn’t want to use the standard shooting posture, but he can’t practice it. This posture is more suitable for him. At least it can ensure the hit rate during training.

shuh~
The basketball went through the net accurately and went in!

After scoring this goal, Amu was obviously relieved.

This is not only a response to Nobuhiko Okamoto, but also a reward for his hard training during this period.

"Are you stupid? I can make a mid-range shot!"

Amu glanced at Mitsui and smiled a middle-aged man.

Mitsui was slapped in the face!

Everyone in Xiangbei was a little surprised. They didn't expect that Amu had learned how to shoot mid-range shots.

Amu learned the mid-range shot, which not only made his offensive methods more diverse, but also greatly reduced the defensive strategy of Xiangbei.

The game on the field is still going on. With Takamiya Motoyu returning to normal, Hainan High School is finally back on track.

Soon, Murasakibara broke through Takamiya Motoyu's defense again and made a quick stop jump shot.

To sum it up in one sentence, his hands felt scorching hot.

“10：0！10：0！10：0！”

Before returning to defense, Murasakibara repeated it three times in front of Takamiya Motoyu.

Takamiya Benyu's chest was heaving, he was shaking with anger, and his mentality was almost unbalanced.

Looking at Takamiya Motoyu's appearance, Murasaki felt secretly happy.

When dealing with an enemy, you must kill him in one breath, and it is best not to give him even a chance to struggle.

Offense and defense transition!

Since Amu learned the mid-range shot, Nobuhiko Okamoto no longer dared to let Amu shoot and had to get closer to him.

Amu naturally did not miss this opportunity and used his best tank-style to break through Nobuhiko Okamoto's defense.

After attracting the defense, Amu assisted Kuraki Mine to score a layup.

The game on the field continued. Under Amu's organization, Hainan High School was always able to find easy scoring opportunities.

Unlike Fujima, Amu mainly relies on breaking through and passing the ball.

I have to say, his playing style really looks like the future Goat.

In addition, he has a mature face and can do the tiptoeing skill, but he can't do the iconic Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

On the other side, under the leadership of Murasakibara, Shohoku is also not at a disadvantage.

Unlike the previous game, in this game Murasakibara further increased the proportion of singles.

No matter how Takamiya Motoyu defended, Murasakibara could always put the ball into the basket with his superb offensive skills and hot touch.

This also made his scoring increase.

However, Murasakibara never relaxed his defense against Takamiya Motoyu.

For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and the fight was difficult to resolve.

As the game progressed, the atmosphere on the court became more and more heated.

Before long, ten minutes passed.

27:15
Hainan High School, which got back on track, not only failed to narrow the score gap, but the gap was widened instead.

The reason is simple. Without Takamiya Motoyu, the main scoring point, Hainan High School's score was greatly affected.

Takamiya Motoyu is more important to Hainan High School than Aso Taro to Shoyo.

How to unleash Takamiya Motoyu's firepower has become a problem that Hainan High School urgently needs to change.

For this reason, Coach Gaotou called a timeout again.

He decided to adjust the tactics and maximize Takamiya Motoyu's scoring ability by enhancing teamwork and tactical coordination.

When the ball was timed out, Hainan High School provided double cover for Takamiya Motoyu and finally got rid of Murasakibara's entanglement.

However, the person standing in front of him became Mitsui, while Murasakibara switched to defend Ishida Kiyoshi.

"Lao Deng, come on!"

Mitsui seemed eager to try, thinking that what Murasakibara could do, he might be able to do.

"First graders these days are so unlovable!"

Takamiya Motoyu responded that it was understandable that he couldn't beat Murasakibara, but if he still couldn't beat Mitsui, he might give up basketball on his own initiative.

The next moment, Takamiya Motoyu broke through with the ball.

Mitsui's defense is very good, not much inferior to Murasakibara.

However, his physical fitness lagged behind and he was badly beaten by Takamiyamoto Yu.

After rushing into the paint area, Takamiya Motoyu jumped with all his strength and made a shocking tomahawk slam dunk.

Bang~
With a loud bang on the rim, Takamiya Motoyu finally broke his scoring drought and scored 2 points.

Takamiya Benyu fell to the ground and yelled at Mitsui in front of him, venting his inner anger.

"Kumure almost got 20 points, and you only got 2 points, and you didn't even score over him. What are you so proud of?"

Mitsui sneered and looked at him with contempt.

Takamiya Benyu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute because Mitsui was telling the truth.

He was so depressed!

This slam dunk not only failed to allow him to vent his inner anger, but made him even more depressed.

Seeing Takamiya Benyu avoiding the question, Mu Mu patted Mitsui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mitsui, your trash talk is getting better and better!"

Mitsui straightened his chest and said proudly: "I learned this from you, the king of bullshit, Mu Mu·Bird·Kuniboshi!"

Soon, the Xiangbei team launched another attack.

Mu Mu received the pass from his teammate again and said to Takamiya Benyu in front of him: "Are you ready?"

Takamiya Motoyu did not respond, his expression was more serious than ever.

The next moment, Mu Mu took a step forward and prepared to break through.

Takamiya Motoyu hurriedly blocked Murasakibara's breakthrough route and was inevitably affected by Murasakibara's rhythm.

Murasakibara took the opportunity to take a step back and made a jump shot.

By the time Takamiya Motoyu stabilized his center of gravity and jumped, Murasakibara, who had not yet reached the highest point, threw the basketball in his hand in advance.

In the audience, Fujima stood up subconsciously.

Because Murasakibara used his offensive skills!
shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went straight through the basket.

After hitting this three-pointer, Murasakibara's personal score reached 20 points.

This is a replica of Fujima's masterpiece of scoring 10 points in 20 minutes.

However, Murasakibara's opponent is the Hainan High School which is good at both offense and defense, not the Toyotama which is strong in offense but weak in defense.

Therefore, the value of Murasakibara is obviously higher.
