Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 192 If you have the guts, go in with your eyes closed!

Scoring 20 points in just ten minutes, one can imagine how explosive Murasakibara's scoring power is.

I can't guard against it, I really can't guard against it!
Even though Takamiya Motoyu tried his best, he was still helpless against Murasakibara.

At this moment, his heart was filled with despair.

Not only is he unable to limit Murasakibara's scoring, he has only scored two points so far. His condition can be described as terrible.

In other words, Amu performed well, otherwise Xiangbei would have further expanded its lead.

Even so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiangbei has firmly suppressed Hainan High School.

In the stands, several Xiangyang players were watching the game attentively.

Although they had been eliminated by Shohoku, they still came to watch the finals.

Among them, Taro Aso's attention has always been focused on Takamiya Motoyu.

Since entering high school, the two have been rivals, similar to the relationship between Amu and Fujima.

After seeing Takamiya Motoyu's miserable appearance, Taro Aso couldn't hide his smile.

Unlike Taro Aso, Takamiya Motoyu is a player who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

He is like a future Goat, who likes to get his hands dirty.

Among them, Taro Aso was the victim.

Therefore, Taro Aso has always held a hostile attitude towards Takamiya Motoyu.

After discovering that Takamiya Motoyu only scored two points, Taro Aso felt an overwhelming joy.

Yesterday, Taro Aso performed poorly and only scored 8 points.

Today, Takamiya Motoyu's performance was even worse than yesterday, as he only scored 2 points in ten minutes.

This made him think to himself: "If Takamiya Benyu can't even get eight points, wouldn't that be more embarrassing than me?"

So, Taro Aso began to silently cheer for Murasakibara, hoping that he could continue to work hard and limit Takamiya Motoyu's score to less than 8 points.

If Murasakibara really did it, in a sense, wouldn't his strength be stronger than his enemy?

At this time, in order to curb Murasakibara's scoring momentum, Coach Takato had to call a timeout.

During the timeout, Coach Takato signaled the players to strengthen their support and assist defense against Murasakibara, and to do their best to prevent Murasakibara from getting easy chances to score.

When the timeout ended, the players of Hainan High School quickly made preparations.

Whenever Murasakibara dribbled past Takamiya Motoyu, the nearest player from Hainan High School would immediately provide backup defense.

Murasakibara quickly noticed the change in his opponent. Instead of forcing the points, he passed the ball to a teammate in an open position, assisting his teammate to score.

This not only allows teammates to get easy scoring opportunities, but also effectively relieves his physical exertion.

Although his physical strength is much stronger than before, it has not yet reached Sakuragi's level, so he tries to save energy wherever possible.

In addition, as long as the teammates seize the opportunity, Hainan High School's defensive strategy is bound to change.

Sure enough, after Murasakibara assisted his teammates to score consecutively, the players of Hainan High School began to appear hesitant.

On the bench of Hainan High School, Coach Gaotou became very annoyed and broke the paper fan in his hand.

"Maybe we should try someone else!"

Seeing that Murasakibara assisted his teammates to score three times in a row, Coach Takato immediately waved to Amu on the sidelines.

Amu immediately ran to the coach and waited for the next instructions.

"Amu, you come and defend Mumu!"

"Ah, me?" Amu was shocked when he heard this and acted very reluctant.

Are you kidding? Even the team's ace Takamiya Motoyu is no match for him, let alone him.

This is too difficult for middle-aged people!

"Amu, you will be the ace of the team next year. I hope you can take on the corresponding responsibilities in advance. You don't want to miss the winter competition, do you?"

Coach Gaotou patted Amu on the shoulder, his eyes revealing expectation.

He has always valued Amu, otherwise he would not have recruited him from another county all the way.

When Takamiya Motoyu graduates, the ones who are qualified to be the ace in Hainan High School are Ikeda Kazuhiro and Amaki.

Considering that Ikeda Kazuhiro has a bad temper and a less stable personality, Amu is undoubtedly a better choice.

Hearing the coach say this, Amu felt the burden on his shoulders suddenly become heavier.

At the same time, I feel full of energy.

"Coach, I won't let you down!"

Amu seemed to be energized. As the future ace of the team, he must lead the team into the winter competition.

Soon, Amu told Takamiya Motoyu the coach's instructions.

Takamiya Benyu looked at Amu in surprise, and then agreed without hesitation.

If it was before the game, Takamiya Motoyu would never agree to it.

However, after being completely defeated by Murasakibara, Takamiyamoto Yu wished someone could help him share the pressure.

"Amu, stay strong, Oli Ge!"

Takamiya Benyu patted Amu on the shoulder. From his words, it can be seen that he is not optimistic about Amu.

Although Amu's defense is good, it is not necessarily better than him, and it is probably difficult for him to limit Murasakibara's performance.

Soon, Hainan High School launched an attack.

Amu broke through Nobuhiko Okamoto again, and after attracting Akagi's help defense, he assisted Ikeda Kazuhiro to score a layup.

Offense and defense transition!

As soon as Murasakibara stepped into the front court, Amu immediately came up to him.

"Kumure, don't even think about scoring!"

No matter what, he would not let Murasakibara score easily again.

"It looks like you want to dance too!"

Facing the eager Amu, Murasaki waved for the ball.

Nobuhiko Okamoto passed the ball without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Muguro was in a triple threat stance.

Amu did not stand on guard, but stood one step away from Murasakibara, watching Murasakibara's every move.

Neither of them moved, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

The next moment, Murasakibara feinted and then launched a cross step.

Amu moved quickly, trying to block Murasaki's breakthrough route.

Murasakibara has superb skills and agile movements. He easily tore through Amu's defense in an almost playful manner.

Amu turned around and chased after him, and entangled him again.

Compared with Takamiya Motoyu, Amu is stronger and more capable in confrontation.

However, Murasakibara's confrontation is no less fierce than that of Amu.

While moving at high speed, Murasakibara launched the European step.

His footsteps were unpredictable, and he easily shook Amu's center of gravity by changing direction and feinting.

Amu gritted his teeth and persisted, sticking tightly to Murasakibara.

When Murasakibara changed direction again, Amu tripped over his left foot in a hurry and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing manner.

Muguro broke into the paint and scored a layup.

"You dance well, keep it up!"

When returning to defense, looking at Amu sitting on the ground, Mu Mu couldn't help but shook his head.

If Hasegawa dances robot dance, then Amu dances street dance!
Amu was pulled up from the floor by his teammates, his face full of solemnity.

Even though he tried his best to limit Murasakibara's performance, his efforts seemed in vain.

He experienced first-hand the feeling of being surpassed and suppressed, and finally understood why Takamiya Motoyu was played around by Murasaki. It was not that Takamiya Motoyu's defense was poor, but Murasaki's offense was too strong.

Amu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He needed to learn lessons from this failure and find out his own shortcomings.

After Amu switched defense, Mu Mu found that Hainan High School's defensive strategy had obviously changed.

The players of Hainan High School no longer provide backup and assist defense for him as frequently as before, which gave Murasakibara more space and opportunities.

Murasakibara showed excellent ability to read the game, keenly noticed this change, and quickly took advantage of it.

He began to use his skillful breakthrough techniques to tease Amu again and again and defeat him easily.

Amu's defensive experience is not as good as Takamiya Motoyu's, which also makes Murasaki's scoring efficiency always high.

His scoring methods are like a kaleidoscope, including layups after quick breakthroughs, as well as accurate mid-range jump shots and three-pointers.

Before the end of the first half, Murasakibara's personal score had reached 36 points, which is undoubtedly an astonishing number.

As long as he can get 14 more points in the second half, Murasakibara can break Kanagawa's single-game scoring record.

For this reason, Takamiya Motoyu was very frightened, because with Murasakibara's strength, it was not difficult to get 14 points in the second half.

56:38
Xiangbei is in front and Hainan High School is behind.

Led by Murasakibara, Shohoku took an 18-point lead in the first half.

During the half-time break, Murasakibara sat down on the bench, his breathing sounding a little heavy.

Scoring 36 points in the first half consumed a lot of his energy.

"Mumu, do you need to rest?"

Coach Anxi's voice rang out, his voice full of concern.

He was very clear that Murasakibara was an indispensable member of Shohoku, and his condition would be directly related to the direction of the game.

"Coach, I can still play. I can even play the whole game."

Murasaki rejected Coach Anzai's suggestion. This was the last game of the winter trials and he didn't need to hold back at all.

"That's good!"

Although he was a little worried about Murasakibara's condition, Coach Anzai knew Murasakibara's personality, which showed that he was confident enough.

The next moment, Coach Anxi took the tactical board, quickly sketched out complex graphics and arrows with a pen, and began to explain the tactical arrangements for the second half to the players.

At the same time, Coach Anxi pointed out the problems in the first half and proposed corresponding solutions.

The players sat around Coach Anxi, listening attentively to the tactical arrangements for the second half, and everyone's eyes were filled with desire for victory.

As long as they can hold on through the second half, the championship will be theirs.

At the same time, there are more important places for the winter competition.

Murasaki sat on the bench, listening to Coach Anzai's explanation and preparing for the second half.

Soon, the second half began.

Compared with the first half, Murasakibara's eyes seemed more focused.

Amu's heart trembled, and he felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, he really wanted to say to Murasakibara: Brother, take it easy!

In the second half of the first half, Amu experienced what Takamiya Motoyu was like, and the beating made him start to doubt his life.

During the jump ball phase, Amu hurriedly said to Takamiya Benyu: "Captain, why don't you defend Mumu?"

"Think beautifully!"

Takamiya Motoyu spread his hands and said he didn't want to defend Murasakibara anymore.

"But, Captain, if this continues, he will really break your record!"

Amu's true intentions were revealed, and he didn't want to defend against Murasakibara, as that was simply torture.

"All right!"

In order to avoid having his single-game scoring record broken by Murasakibara, Takamiya Motoyu had to reluctantly agree.

During the jump ball phase, Akagi once again overpowered Ikeda Kazuhiro and grabbed the ball.

Soon, Nobuhiko Okamoto crossed the half court with the ball.

Facing Amu's defense, Nobuhiko Okamoto dribbled sideways again and lowered his center of gravity lower.

Amu's confrontation is above him, so this can effectively avoid being intercepted by the opponent.

Amu quickly came up and began to exert pressure.

Faced with Nobuhiko Okamoto's sideways dribbling, Amu couldn't help feeling helpless.

Although his ability to fight is strong, it is not strong enough to crush Nobuhiko Okamoto.

Nobuhiko Okamoto delayed for a while, and when there were ten seconds left in the offensive time, he immediately passed the ball to Murasakibara.

After receiving the ball, Murasakibara fell into the low position and dealt with Takamiya Motoyu's defense with his back.

Without any hesitation, Murasakibara turned around and made a fadeaway jump shot.

His movements were done in one go, and although Takamiya Motoyu tried his best to block the shot, he still could not effectively interfere with Murasakibara's shot.

shuh~
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally fell into the basket accurately.

A smile also appeared on Murasakibara's face. His hands were still hot and had not cooled down during the half-time break.

In addition, after this goal, Xiangbei's lead has expanded to 20 points.

Time passed slowly, and Murasakibara's scoring performance continued.

Neither Takamiya Benyu, Amu nor other players from Hainan High School could stop Murasakibara from scoring, nor did they dare to double-team Murasakibara.

Time passes by unknowingly, like sand slipping through your fingers.

With 7 minutes left in the game, Murasakibara had already scored 47 points.

As long as he gets 3 more points, he can break the single-game scoring record held by Takamiya Motoyu.

The Xiangbei team had the ball. When Murasakibara got the basketball again, the audience stared at the court without blinking, afraid of missing the historic moment.

The next moment, Murasakibara once again demonstrated his amazing breakthrough skills, like a butterfly flying through flowers, easily breaking through Takamiya Motoyu's defense.

This time, Takamiya Benyu twisted his right ankle forcefully, endured the discomfort in his right foot, and chased after him at the fastest speed.

He said he didn't want to let Murasakibara score again.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them rushed into the paint area.

At this moment, Mu Mu jumped up.

Takamiya Benyu also jumped up quickly, raised his right hand and shot towards the basketball.

In mid-air, Murasakibara successfully avoided Takamiya Motoyu's block with the help of a pull-up shot.

slap~
In order to disrupt the ball, Takamiya Motoyu increased the strength of his right hand and slapped it hard on Murasakibara's shoulder.

In mid-air, Murasakibara tried his best to maintain his balance, and he shook his right wrist lightly and threw the ball out based on his feeling.

Beep~
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

At this moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the spinning basketball.

"It's impossible to get in!"

Takamiya Benyu fell to the ground and immediately looked towards the basket.

On the side, Murasakibara fell to the ground, but his eyes were always fixed on the basketball.

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

Hua Hua Hua~
At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be boiling with excitement for Murasakibara's feat, and the audience burst into unprecedented cheers.

This attack by Murasakibara not only scored two points, tying the single-game scoring record, but also earned a free throw.

As long as he makes this free throw, Murasakibara can easily reach 50 points and break the single-game scoring record.

At the referee's signal, Murasakibara stood at the free throw line, ready to embrace this historic moment.

Just as Mugure was about to take the free throw, in order to preserve the record, Takamiya Benyu said provocatively: "Mugure, you have the guts to make the free throw with your eyes closed!"
