Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 196 Naito's Exaggerated Statistics

"Lost!"

Miyagi knelt weakly on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his eyes full of unwillingness and loss.

Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the concrete floor.

I'm so depressed!

The gap between the two sides was so big that it was unimaginable. In front of Murasakibara, Miyagi felt like a beginner.

Whether it was the exquisite breakthrough, accurate shooting, or domineering and elegant dunk, Miyagi felt that he was far behind.

He originally thought that he could steal at least one or two, and maybe even compete with Murasakibara, but reality gave him a heavy blow.

Whether in offense or defense, Miyagi was completely suppressed in both aspects and did not cause any ripples.

However, Miyagi is ultimately a member of the group of problem children.

Although his inner self-esteem made it difficult for him to accept such a failure, he still took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"I will definitely defeat you next time!"

As he spoke, Miyagi's gaze became firm again.

He decided to use this failure as motivation to move forward and make himself stronger.

I can only say that he is worthy of being one of the problem children, his ability to accept things is extremely strong.

"We'll see!"

In fact, Mu Mu didn't take it to heart.

Even if Miyagi develops his shooting, it won’t be a big deal.

On the contrary, by that time, the gap between the two sides is likely to widen further.

Don’t forget, Miyagi may be a genius, but Murasakibara is a cheater!
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the students and teachers who were watching scattered like birds and beasts.

Just as Naito Tetsuya was about to leave, Murasakibara suddenly appeared in front of him.

On the side, Mitsui looked at Naito Tetsuya curiously.

He was already certain that this was the player that Murasakibara was looking for.

When Mitsui saw Tetsuya Naito, his first reaction was that his good buddy Tetsuya might not be his match.

Now Naito Tetsuya is about 190 cm tall, with a strong body and muscular body, and he seems to be stronger than Akagi.

"This guy probably weighs around 100 kilograms, but with such a large weight, is he suitable to be a power forward?"

Mitsui was a little suspicious. He felt that Naito Tetsuya could not run and was more suitable to play as a center.

At this time, Mu Mu pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Hideko, who is this?"

"This is my classmate Naito Tetsuya, currently the ace of the rugby team!"

Ikegami Hideko began to introduce Mugure again: "Naito, this is Mugure Konobu from Shohoku High School. He led the weak Shohoku to the semi-finals in the national competition. He was also the MVP of the Autumn National Sports Tournament and the MVP of the Winter Trials. He is known as the strongest freshman in history and a strong contender for the top high school basketball player in the country."

During the introduction, Ikegami Hideko introduced Murasakibara's titles.

Upon hearing these titles, especially when he led the team to the national top four, Naito Tetsuya felt a sense of awe.

Tetsuya Naito also has a dream, which is to stand on the stage of a national competition.

Unfortunately, his situation is similar to Akagi's situation years ago.

Naito Tetsuya was a very strong player, but due to the drag of his teammates, he failed in the preliminaries every time during his three years in junior high school and never made it to the national competition.

If history had not changed, Tetsuya Naito would have joined the Miuradai rugby team after graduating from junior high school.

Then, after being disrespected by the senior players on the football team and the football team's poor performance in not being able to enter the national competition, he finally made the decision to bring his talents to the basketball team.

Naito Tetsuya's talent is undoubtedly high. Not to mention his physical fitness, he also has above-average ball control and free throw skills, and has even attempted three-pointers.

By the way, he was very active in fast breaks, which reminded Muguro of an old friend.

He was an old friend who defended with his eyes and was as fierce as a tiger in fast breaks. Even at the age of 40, he still occupied the third place in the fast break list, which was so terrifying.

To put it simply, the setting of Tetsuya Naito is a BUG.

Unfortunately, although the Miuradai basketball team is strong, they have no chance of qualifying in the fiercely competitive Kanagawa.

Therefore, Naito Tetsuya was destined to fail in achieving his wish at Miuradai.

"Naito, with your physique, if you can use it in basketball, I believe you will become a basketball star. Have you ever considered putting your talent into the sport of basketball?"

Murasakibara chose to be straightforward. If Tetsuya Naito became a member of the Shohoku team, Shohoku would be able to form a twin tower inside and would most likely go further in the country.

At the same time, this will also provide a stage for Tetsuya Naito to showcase his basketball talent.

After hearing what Murasakibara said, Naito Tetsuya fell into deep thought.

He touched his shiny bald head, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Murasakibara's words touched his heart, and thinking of the exciting match just now, he developed a strong interest in the sport of basketball.

That's really... Thai pants are hot!

"I haven't given up on rugby yet, after all, it's the sport I've always loved."

Murasaki was not surprised to hear what Naito Tetsuya said. After all, he was not Naruto who was good at talking, and it was impossible for him to convince the other party to give up his favorite sport all at once.

"Why don't you try it first? I can teach you personally. Maybe this will be a brand new challenge and opportunity for you."

Naturally, Murasakibara did not give up.

"This……"

If Naito Tetsuya said he wasn't moved, he would definitely be lying, after all, the other party is a strong contender for the title of the top high school student in the country.

Just now when he saw Murasakibara dunk, he discovered the fun of basketball.

However, he was naturally unwilling to give up football all of a sudden.

The unknown is the scariest thing because he doesn't know if he has the potential to play basketball.

"How about this, if you can beat me, I'll try basketball!"

Naito Tetsuya came up with a compromise plan.

“I don’t know football!”

Mu Mu shook his head decisively to refuse.

He is not a Goat, nor is he the answer, nor is he a Shark. He knows nothing about football and doesn't even understand the rules.

"Instead of football, let's have a 100-meter race. What do you think?"

"Then give it a try!"

Murasaki agreed. He also wanted to know who was faster between him and Naito.

Although Naito has strong physical fitness, the current Naito is not the Naito he will be two years later, and his physical fitness is definitely inferior.

Not long after, Murasakibara and Naito finished their warm-up and stood on the track of Otsuka Junior High School.

The Sakuragi Corps volunteered, with Mito Yohei giving the order and Noma Chuichiro keeping the time.

"Everyone is in your place!"

Mito Yohei announced loudly.

"preparation."

At this time, both of them raised their buttocks, began to move their center of gravity forward, and were ready to start running at any time.

Of course, Murasakibara's posture is not standard.

Naito wasn't much better, after all, neither of them had ever practiced sprinting.

"start!"

Following Mito Yohei's order, relying on his MAX reaction attribute, Murasakibara started running and pushed off the ground at the fastest speed.

Murasaki's reaction speed is definitely at the level of a top sprinter, or even better.

MAX attributes are no joke!
He has great strength and explosiveness, and his arm swings powerfully, enough to allow him to reach his peak speed quickly.

By the time Naito started, Murasakibara had already left him behind and gained an advantage of nearly two body lengths.

What surprised Mitsui and the Sakuragi team was that Naito's speed was almost as fast as Murasakibara's.

This can be seen from the fact that Murasakibara is unable to distance himself from the crowd.

"With this speed, he can play as a guard, not to mention power forward."

Mitsui was amazed and at the same time admired Murasakibara's foresight.

With Naito Tetsuya's physical fitness, he can definitely help the team. Come on, go, go, go!
Soon, a phantom seemed to form under Mu Mu's feet, and the speed reached the limit.

After the acceleration phase, start running midway.

In the first half, Murasakibara established a two-body advantage.

Naito chased relentlessly, but was unable to close the gap.

Murasakibara was trying hard to maintain the maximum speed, and what he had to do now was to try to maintain the maximum speed.

Until 70 meters, his speed dropped slightly, but still maintained in a very high speed range.

At this time, Murasakibara had already left Naito three body lengths away.

Murasakibara tensed his whole body, trying his best to maintain his current speed and began to enter the sprint zone.

80 meters, 90 meters, 95 meters!
Mu Mu gritted his teeth and rushed across the finish line in one breath.

After running for a distance, Mu Mu finally stopped slowly.

Won!

Murasakibara was pretty sure that Naito hadn't surpassed him, and might not have even touched his butt.

Sure enough, Noma Chuichiro indicated that Murasakibara had won.

"I didn't expect you to be faster than me!"

Naito looked at Murasakibara with admiration. It was the first time he saw someone who ran faster than him.

"If I were the same size as you, I probably wouldn't be able to outrun you."

Murasakibara shook his head. He weighed about 20 kilograms less than Naito, which clearly gave him a big advantage.

"If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to say."

Naito Tetsuya shook his head and continued, "I will keep my promise and try basketball. I hope I have the talent for it."

“I believe you have the talent!”

Murasaki is very confident. After all, the 40-year-old Goat is an example. After all, his body is really strong, but his skills are hard to describe.

Of course, no matter how hard it is to describe, many of them have reached the NBA level.

Even if Naito cannot develop his skills, with his physical fitness, as long as he plays like Mori Pang, he can still have a place in the island country.

"Kumure-senpai, can you teach me now? I want to try slam dunking."

Naito Tetsuya showed an impatient expression, mainly because he wanted to dunk like Murasakibara.

"This isn't a good place to be! If you want to learn, you can always come to Xiangbei to find me!"

Outdoor basketball courts are exposed to wind, sun and rain, and their quality cannot be guaranteed at all.

With Naito's strength and weight, it's possible that he could accidentally pull the rim off.

In order to avoid injury, Murasakibara decided to bring Naito to the Shohoku basketball hall so that he could adapt to the team atmosphere in advance.

He also hopes that Naito can get the attention of Coach Anzai and ask him to help him with some special training.

In addition, Coach Anxi can also apply to the school for support policies such as tuition reduction and scholarships.

"We're going back to Xiangbei now, do you want to come with us?"

"Come together! Hideko, help me ask the teacher for leave."

Naito agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, Naito, you have to work hard too!"

Ikegami Hideko made a cheering gesture.

Soon, Murasaki and others left Otsuka Junior High School and returned to Shohoku.

On the way, the Sakuragi Army said goodbye to Murasakibara.

The four of them sat on Mito Yohei's scooter again and slowly drove towards Kitamura Junior High School.

ding dong~
At this time, a little girl happened to ride a children's car and easily surpassed the Sakuragi Army.

Unexpectedly, the famous scene would be staged again!
When we returned to Xiangbei, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

Today is not a weekend, and the basketball hall is empty.

Murasaki and Mitsui asked Mr. Koike, who liked to wear wooden clogs in class, for a few days off again, in order to prepare for the winter competition.

"Let me test it for you first!"

The first thing that happened was that Murasakibara began to test Naito's physical fitness.

It took quite some time for Murasakibara to complete the inspection.

Looking at the test reports in their hands, both Murasakibara and Mitsui were amazed.

There's no way, Naito's physical fitness is really amazing.

Naito Tetsuya: Height 191cm, weight 97kg (please ignore the 155kg), wingspan 197cm, standing jump 80cm, 11.3m run seconds, standing reach…"

The 100-meter sprint is naturally timed manually. If it were electronically timed, it would be even slower.

However, considering Naito Tetsuya's physique, it is still surprising that he can run in 11.3 seconds.

If this guy joins the sprint team for some time, I believe his performance will improve.

It was not until this time that the bell, signaling the end of school, finally rang.

In just two or three minutes, the Xiangbei players entered the basketball hall one after another.

The Xiangbei players showed great enthusiasm for training and were no longer as slow as before.

When they saw Naito, the teammates expressed confusion.

After learning that Naito is likely to join the Shohoku team next year, players led by Yuho Ikeda expressed their welcome.

Naito is a warm and enthusiastic person and quickly became friends with the Shohoku players.

Not long after, Coach Anxi walked into the basketball hall.

"Coach, this is Naito Tetsuya. By the way, I just tested his physical fitness!"

While introducing Naito, Murasakibara handed the test form to Coach Anzai.

At first, Coach Anxi still maintained his normal expression.

However, when he saw the contents on the test form, he couldn't help but show shock.

Is this a human being?

Coach Anzai looked at Murasakibara in surprise and doubt, wondering if Murasakibara had filled in the wrong number.

"Kumure-san, is this true?"

"Coach, it's absolutely true. I can testify to it!"

Before Murasakibara could say anything, Mitsui hurriedly made a promise.

"I didn't expect that besides Sakuragi, there is such an outstanding rough diamond."

Coach Anzai showed a gratified expression, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Murasakibara.

Murasakibara was indeed his lucky star, bringing him one unpolished gem after another.

Soon, Coach Anzai, in a good mood, prepared to teach Naito personally.

After learning that Coach Anzai was a former national player, Naito was immediately in awe and naturally did not refuse.

Murasakibara wanted to save himself the trouble and prepared to randomly select a "destined person" to continue training Death Coil.

At this time, Yuho Ikeda, Ichiro Sato and others were whispering.

"I heard that Coach Xiangyang was fired!"

"real or fake?"

"It's more real than real gold. Don't you think about it? Xiangyang's performance this year is not as good as before. It's normal for the coach to be fired."

"I heard that Shoyo's ace Taro Aso brought a number of high school seniors to the board of directors to force the resignation, which was the main reason why Shoyo's coach was fired."

“I wonder who Xiangyang will hire as coach next year?”

……

After hearing their conversation, Murasakibara paused slightly, then ignored it and continued training.

For him, the dismissal of Xiangyang coach was just a small episode.
