Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 203 Chang Cheng lost but I did not. If you don’t believe me, check my data!

As Mitsui broke the long-standing three-point record, the atmosphere in the entire stadium reached a boiling point at this moment.

The faces of the spectators without the ball were filled with excitement and excitement, and Mitsui's cheers came one after another, sweeping across the entire venue like waves.

"Mi-chan!"

The three members of Tokuo Horita hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

Mitsui himself could hardly contain his excitement. He raised his hands high and greeted the audience around him, thanking them for their support.

Soon, at the referee's signal, Mitsui stood on the free throw line.

Call ~
Mitsui took the opportunity to catch his breath and then threw it out.

shuh~
Mitsui completed 3+1 and increased his single-game score to 40 points.

The three-point rain he created alone almost defeated Changcheng High School and gave the Xiangbei team a 12-point lead.

There are more than three minutes left in the game, and the situation is very unfavorable for Changcheng High School.

Although he scored 40 points, Mitsui was also very tired.

He finally experienced the hardships that Murasakibara had experienced when he led the team alone.

Akagi: I am the second in command!
Mitsui: You will regret it!

Door: Bang!

Coach Chang Cheng called a timeout again, trying to boost the team's morale.

At the same time, the defense against Mitsui was further improved.

When the timeout was over, Suzuki Naruto broke through Okamoto Nobuhiko and made a layup, barely getting some blood back for the team.

It was Xiangbei's turn to attack, and soon Mitsui got the ball again.

As soon as he received the basketball, Changcheng High School immediately double-teamed him.

Before the opponent surrounded him, Mitsui passed the ball to Ichiro Sato, assisting the latter to hit an open mid-range shot.

Although Mitsui's organization and passing are not as good as Murasakibara's, they are not inferior to Nobuhiko Okamoto.

Apart from the three-point shot, Mitsui is proficient in all other techniques, but there is still much room for improvement.

The atmosphere of the game became more and more intense. In order to narrow the score gap, Changcheng players began to go all out.

In order to increase offensive rounds, they obviously accelerated the offensive tempo.

They launched attacks again and again, using quick passes and flexible movement to take advantage of Xiangbei's loopholes and score.

However, fate did not seem to be on their side. Every time they finally scored a goal, the brief joy was quickly replaced by the cruel reality.

Led by Mitsui, the Xiangbei team counterattacked with offense.

The difference is that the Xiangbei team began to slow down the pace.

Even though Mitsui's condition was affected to a certain extent by the significant loss of physical strength, what made Chang Cheng feel desperate was that his shooting rate was not affected at all and was still hot.

This is what makes Mitsui unique!

For a moment, Changcheng players felt extremely anxious and their movements became bigger.

At the same time, their defense began to show loopholes.

Naturally, Xiangbei did not miss the opportunity and had its way on the offensive end.

In this situation, the double-digit score difference is like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how hard the Changcheng players try, there is no hope of narrowing the gap.

Time passed by minute by minute, and coach Chang Cheng was anxiously directing on the sidelines, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

In the last three minutes or so, Changcheng players almost tried their best.

Despite this, the gap between the two sides has not narrowed to single digits.

The supporters of Changcheng High School seemed to feel the players' anxiety. They either watched with bated breath or sighed, hoping for a miracle to happen.

However, Mitsui gave them the last blow again.

With the help of Akagi's cover, Mitsui temporarily got rid of Mikoshiba and appeared outside the three-point line in the right corner.

Nobuhiko Okamoto immediately passed the ball, and Mitsui quickly made another three-pointer.

shuh~
Mikoshiba was unable to block it and could only watch Mitsui hit his 11th three-pointer, once again improving the three-point record of the Winter Tournament.

The fans who had been agitated throughout the entire game suddenly quieted down.

There was only one minute left in the game, but the gap between the two sides increased instead of decreasing, and was pulled to 14 points.

Until this moment, the morale of Changcheng players completely collapsed as they saw no hope of winning.

Soon, a long whistle sounded, signaling the end of the game.

In the end, Xiangbei successfully defeated Changcheng High School.

In this game, Mitsui made 21 of 15 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 45 points efficiently with a hit rate of over %.

In addition, he also had comprehensive statistics of 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

As a result, Mitsui was exhausted. After the game, he sat on the bench with his tongue hanging out like a dead dog.

Elegant, so elegant!
This match is bound to become Mitsui's famous match, enough to bring his reputation to a higher level.

Akagi, the team's second-in-command, scored 16 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The second and third in command scored a combined 61 points.

In addition, three players from Shohoku scored in double digits, namely Ichiro Sato, Nobuhiko Okamoto and Kumamoto Yamamoto.

While Xiangbei was celebrating its victory, Changcheng High School was silent.

Mikoshiba covered his head with a towel, looking dejected, obviously hit hard.

As the opponent of Mitsui, he only scored 15 points, with a hit rate of less than 4%, and turnovers.

In the Autumn National Games, he was defeated by Murasakibara.

In the winter competition, he was beaten by Mitsui, who is also a player of the Xiangbei team. The key opponent's data is always huge!

He felt that he had always lived in the shadow of the Xiangbei team and became their exclusive background board.

He was afraid that next year, other players on the Xiangbei team would beat him.

Mikoshiba: Background board, I’m a professional!
Unlike Mikoshiba, Takahashi Shun, who is also a freshman at Changcheng High School, scored 25+12. Those who don’t know would think that Takahashi Shun is the rookie king of Changcheng High School.

Takahashi Shun: Chang Cheng lost, but I didn’t. If you don’t believe me, check my data!

what is this?
Contains a lot of Zhan!
Not long after, Mitsui finally recovered and shouted to Murasakibara who was sitting in the audience: "Murasakibara, tickets!"

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Murasaki took out the football tickets from his pocket and handed them to Akagi and Mitsui respectively.

Then, Mitsui was shocked to find that he still had a ticket in his hand.

"Didn't you say there were only two tickets?"

"I thought there were only two, but there were three."

"asshole!"

Mitsui knew very well that he had been tricked by Murasakibara.

"Kumure, winning is not a big deal, it's embarrassing if someone is missing!"

Mitsui put his hands on his hips and began to fight back.

"Mitsui, have you forgotten how cowardly you were during the county tournament so quickly? Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Muguro was talking about the county tournament and the match against Buri, which was Mitsui's first game after his comeback.

"Baga, why bother talking about that?"

Mitsui couldn't help but curse.

He thought of his flowing middle-parted hair, which represented his lost youth.

"Mitsui, you should have a good rest. You look so weak. For your health, I think you should not play in tomorrow's game." Mitsui held his head high and shouted, "A man can't say no. I'm in good shape and I'm going to play tomorrow."

"as long as you are happy!"

Murasakibara didn't say much to Mitsui and prepared to go to the training venue.

Before leaving yesterday, he made a special appointment with Drexler.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to bring Mitsui and Akagi, but he has to have Drexler’s permission.

Not long after, Mu Mu arrived at the training venue.

This is the training venue arranged by the organizing committee for the Trail Blazers.

Because the Trail Blazers just arrived yesterday, the staff was negligent and did not immediately close the training venue, allowing Murasakibara to sneak in.

Today was different, Murasakibara was stopped outside by the staff.

"Except for Trail Blazers players, no one is allowed in!"

"I'm Drexler's sparring partner, please let me in."

"No, that's the rule!"

The staff subconsciously thought that Murasakibara was a fan who wanted to sneak into the stadium and thought that sparring was his excuse.

Just as Murasakibara was arguing with the staff, a tall figure walked over. It was Buck Williams.

Buck Williams glanced at Mu Mu, then said to the staff, "Hey, he is indeed Clyde's sparring partner, let him in!"

The staff looked at Murasaki in surprise. They didn't expect that the other party was actually Drexler's sparring partner.

Under such circumstances, he hurriedly opened the door of the venue and let the two in.

"Thank you so much, Buck!"

Mu Mu thanked Buck Williams. Without him, he really didn't know how he would have gotten into the venue.

"You're welcome!"

Buck Williams and Murasakibara walked into the stadium together.

At this point in time, there were already groups of Trail Blazers players training in the gym.

Mu Mu took a quick look and found that he didn't recognize any of them.

It's clear that the Trail Blazers' golden duo has yet to arrive.

"Clyde isn't here yet, how about we play some first?"

Buck Williams would be lying if he said he wasn't curious about Murasakibara.

Yesterday, he was not present when Murasakibara and Drexler had a duel. When he came, Murasakibara was focused on serving as a sparring partner, so naturally he was not very clear about his strength.

"Okay!"

Mu Mu naturally did not refuse, because Buck Williams also had the skill he wanted - hook shot!
After warming up, the two started to duel with each other, but neither of them could do anything to the other.

Buck Williams is already 32 years old. His skills are still there, but his physical fitness is clearly declining.

In this era, NBA players' salaries are limited, and only big-name players can become tech warriors and use drugs to maintain their sports careers.

This season, Buck Williams' salary is $185 million, which is not even close to the one-pi level.

If it were in later times, with his level of ability, earning 20 or 30 million a year would be absolutely no problem.

When talking about Mr. Pi, Mu Mu thought of a joke.

Well, it’s not the joke about Pi Erye becoming a unit of measurement.

In order to elevate the status of the Goat, the Goat Chaser tribe once claimed that Jordan won two three consecutive championships with the help of Mr. Skinner.

The Goat-chasers have been praising Pippen to belittle Jordan, but they forgot that Pippen and Goat are in the same position, which is embarrassing.

The question is, if Jordan won two three consecutive championships thanks to Pierce, then who has a higher historical status between Pierce and Goat, and who is the best small forward in history?

That must be Master Pi!
As we all know, 6 crowns > 4 crowns!
You can't convert Goat's 6 runner-up titles into 3 championships.

You know what, there are really unscrupulous media outlets that have made this conversion in order to attract traffic.

This may be the reason why the unscrupulous media advocate that one championship surpasses the Milan blacksmith, and four championships surpass Jordan.

In this unusual competition, Murasakibara's speed and explosiveness were clearly more advantageous, and coupled with MAX's reaction attributes, Buck Williams was helpless.

Of course, this has to do with Buck Williams being better at interior defense.

Mu Mu was also unable to stop Buck Williams, as the opponent could easily squeeze him aside and score with just a slight bump.

During this process, Buck Williams performed hook shots from time to time, which rapidly improved Murasakibara's hook shot progress.

Soon after, Buck Williams called a halt, ending this meaningless exchange.

It was also this competition that brought the relationship between Murasakibara and Buck Williams closer.

"Buck, your hook shot is really accurate!"

Mu Mu showed an expression of admiration, and then continued: "I have also practiced the hook shot, but I still can't master the essentials. Can you teach me?"

If he can master this technique, it will not only increase his arsenal, but also increase the speed of his improvement.

Buck Williams hesitated, but eventually agreed.

"Thank you!"

Mu Mu smiled gratefully.

This is undoubtedly a rare learning opportunity because the opponent is a real NBA star.

"Try the hook first, and I'll correct you."

Buck Williams wants Murasaki to demonstrate his hook shot so he can better point out the problem.

Murasaki took the basketball, adjusted his breathing first, then turned around and made a hook shot through Buck Williams.

Buck Williams did not confront, but simply raised his hand symbolically.

bang~
Even so, the ball hit the rim and made a dull sound.

Seeing that the hook shot missed, Murasakibara shook his head in disappointment.

"It doesn't matter, come a few more times, from different positions."

Buck Williams asked Kogure to continue trying, attempting hook shots from different angles and positions.

Muguruma did as he was told, sometimes he was on target and sometimes he wasn't, but the number of missed shots was obviously higher.

However, every great basketball player grows from countless failures.

Murasakibara is naturally no exception, not to mention that he is a cheater.

"I roughly know what your problems are. Let me analyze them for you first."

Buck Williams began teaching Murasaki how to better balance his body and how to maintain the stability of his shooting despite interference from defensive players.

In addition to technical guidance, Buck Williams also shared the experience he has accumulated during his career.

He told Murasakibara that wrist movement is crucial to the hook shot, and that proper bending and release timing are required to better ensure the accuracy of the basketball's rotation and landing.

Under the careful guidance of Buck Williams, Murasakibara's hook shot progress increased rapidly.

A quarter of an hour later, under the stunned gaze of Buck Williams, Murasakibara successfully mastered the hook shot.

[Congratulations on acquiring a new skill - hook shot! ]

“You’ve got it now?”

Buck Williams began to doubt his life and wanted to say fuck his basketball dream.

Back then, it took him two years to master the hook shot technique.

Due to his limited offensive talent, this is also the main reason why he transformed into a defensive player.
