Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 212 Your ugliness has nothing to do with your hairstyle!

Ohkawada's body and mind were severely damaged by Murasakibara, and his heart was filled with pain and loss. He longed to find a little warmth to soothe his wounded heart.

So, after running to the front court, his eyes turned to the audience seats not far away.

In addition to Mikio Kawata, who has grown to nearly two meters tall, there is also a chubby little girl sitting next to him.

This is his distant relative’s daughter, Mai Aono, who usually calls him uncle.

Due to family reasons, Mai Aono has been staying at Ohkawada's house recently.

After learning that Ohkawada was coming to Tokyo to participate in the Winter Games, he followed Okawada to Tokyo to watch the game.

At this time, Aono Mai opened her eyes wide and waved the glow stick in her hand excitedly.

Ohkawada originally thought that Aono Mai was cheering for him, but when he heard it clearly, he was hit hard.

"Come on, little brother No. 11!"

Mai Aono's voice was clear and loud. She was indeed cheering. It was a pity that the person she was cheering for was not Ohkawada, but a certain player No. 11.

At this time, there was only one player wearing the No. 11 jersey on the field, and that was his opponent, Kogure Mitsunobu.

"Aono Mai, you are my niece, how can you cheer for my opponent? This is simply treason!"

Ohkawada was obviously devastated because his niece was cheering for his opponent.

This made him feel extremely frustrated!

On the side, Kawata Mikio asked curiously: "Mai, why don't you cheer for your uncle?"

Aono Mai tilted her head and said weakly, "I can't shout!"

"why?"

"Because No. 11 looks kind of good-looking, and you look kind of funny!"

At this age, Mai Aono naturally doesn't understand love, she just simply admires Murasakibara's looks.

Sure enough, this is a world where looks matter!

Aono Mai's childish words were innocent, but they deeply hurt Ohkawada's heart, and made Ohkawada so angry that he completely broke down.

Not only was he beaten by his opponent, but even his niece was attracted to him and switched sides to cheer for him.

孽 孽!
Murasakibara looked at Ohkawada strangely, then looked at Aono Mai.

After learning that her name was Aono Mai, Mu Mu always felt that she sounded familiar.

Soon, he showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Isn't this the future 'Album Zhebanji' and 'Music Group Heavenly Body' Mai Kuraki!

I never expected that the Kawata family is related to Mai Kuraki.

"It must be because of the hairstyle, yes, it must be so!"

Ohkawada muttered to himself, taking the initiative to excuse himself.

He thought that the reason why he looked a little funny was because of his monk-like hairstyle.

"Come on, your ugliness has nothing to do with your hairstyle!"

Mu Mu couldn't bear to watch it and couldn't help but complain.

With a face like Ohkawada's and an old look, no hairstyle will work unless he changes his head.

You can see that all the Sanno players present have shaved heads, but except for Ohkawada, the others are not ugly, they are even a little handsome.

That’s right, Ohkawada has obviously lowered the appearance of Sannoh’s starting lineup.

This piece of trash talk completely broke Yamatoda's defense.

"no no!"

At this moment, Ohkawada looked up at the sky and roared to vent his anger, his voice like a cuckoo crying blood.

Q: How do you describe heavy snowfall?
Answer: Snowflakes are flying and the north wind is howling!
"White Team No. 13, your behavior is very uncivilized. I will only give you a warning this time. If it happens again, you will be given a technical foul!"

The referee immediately warned Ohkawada.

Ohkawada suddenly came to his senses and had to apologize to the referee awkwardly.

"Nervous!"

Seeing this scene, Kashima Fengshuang sighed.

At this time, Shenjin began to organize the team's offense.

Yamato focused his attention and began to actively pull the ball on the court, trying to consume Murasakibara's physical strength.

Since I am no match for Murasakibara, I will try my best to consume his physical strength, fight for every rebound, and do my best to contribute to the team.

Murasakibara had to follow Yamatoda closely. This guy had just switched from a guard to an inside player. He possessed accurate shooting ability and was definitely the best inside player at shooting.

Soon, with the help of his teammates, Matsumoto Minoru successfully surpassed Mitsui by one body length.

In the first moment, Shenjin passed the ball.

At the moment when Matsumoto Minoru received the ball and shot, Mitsui immediately accelerated, jumped high, and stretched his right hand in a claw shape towards the opponent's eyes, using the blinding method.

Mitsui learned this move from Mumu.

Matsumoto Minoru was obviously frightened by Mitsui's actions, and his head subconsciously tilted back, causing the rhythm of his jump shot to change significantly.

bang~
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced, and happened to bounce into Yamato's hands.

Murasakibara quickly moved closer and stood in front of Ohkawada.

Due to Murasakibara's entanglement, Ohkawada was almost intercepted and had to hold the ball sideways.

Suddenly, Ohkawada had an idea and he remembered the elbow that Murasakibara had just hit him in the head.

He decided to imitate Murasakibara, so that he could not only retaliate but also break through Murasakibara's defense.

So, he first glanced at the referee's angle to avoid his next move being discovered.

"Kesaige!"

The next moment, Ohkawada turned around quickly, bent his right hand slightly, and wanted to secretly elbow Murasakibara.

At the critical moment, Murasakibara relied on MAX's reaction to take a step back in time.

At this moment, Ohkawada's elbow strike was completely exposed!

Beep~
The referee blew the whistle at the right time and ruled that Ohkawada committed a foul.

Yamato, who was fed up with the humiliation, smashed the basketball in his hand hard to vent his dissatisfaction and anger.

Beep~
As luck would have it, the basketball hit the referee's foot. In line with the zero-tolerance policy, the referee blew the whistle again and gave him another technical foul.

This is Ohkawada's third foul!

Only 13 minutes into the first half, both of Sanno's inside players had three fouls.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will try to restrain themselves in the next games and avoid committing fouls again.

"I……"

Ohkawada wanted to curse, but when he noticed that the referee was looking at him with a kind look, he had to reluctantly raise his right hand.

"Thank you, you are a good person!"

Muguro expressed his gratitude to Ohkawada at the right time.

Ohkawada was so angry, but what else could he say? He could only glare at Murasakibara angrily and return to his own half in shame.

At the referee's signal, Murasakibara first took the free throw.

Swish~swish~swish~
Mu Mu made all three free throws.

After the free throw, the ball still belonged to Xiangbei. Soon, Mu Mu received the pass from his teammate again.

He quickly assessed the situation on the field, and seeing that his teammates had no chance, he decided to continue scoring using his personal abilities.

Facing Ohkawada's defense, Murasakibara used his flexible footwork in the interior and quickly found a breakthrough.

Under Murasakibara's nimble footsteps, Ohkawada seemed a little clumsy. He could only watch Murasakibara pass by him and was almost knocked to the ground.

At the moment when Murasakibara completed the breakthrough, Kashima Kaede immediately abandoned Yamamoto Kuma and rushed towards Murasakibara with all her strength, trying to stop the attack.

Since Yamamoto's positioning was not ideal, in order to avoid mistakes, Murasakibara did not pass the ball and decided to rely on his personal ability to complete the attack.

The moment he approached the basket, Murasakibara carried Kaede Frost of Kashima, stretched out his right hand and hooked it, which was a standard hook shot.

His hook shot has reached level 3!

Kashima Kaede didn't expect that Murasakibara would use the hook shot and was caught off guard.

shuh~
The basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air and went into the net.

This goal not only won valuable points for Xiangbei, but also further boosted the morale of the entire team.

"Fuck, this guy can even shoot a hook shot! No way, who is the inside player?"

Looking at Muguro's smooth hook move, Ohkawada felt devastated.

The opponent is obviously an outside player who only plays inside occasionally. As a result, he not only mastered the inside footwork and post-up play, but he could even make a hook shot.

And he, as an inside player, doesn't know any inside skills.

"No, I have to keep growing taller, I want to play center!"

At this moment, Ohkawada no longer loved the power forward position.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Not only Ohkawada, Kentaro Sakurai is also doubting his life.

As one of the top four centers in the country, Kentaro Sakurai is well aware of the value of these skills.

Although he also knows these techniques, he can never do it as smoothly as Murasakibara.

It's very simple. His level of inside skills is obviously not as good as Murasakibara's, and it is even possible that he has not yet fully mastered them.

"What other tricks does this guy have?"

Looking at Murasakibara's back, Kashima Kaede Frost couldn't find her sister.

He considers himself a genius and believes he can easily handle the field of island basketball, as if everything is under his control.

However, under Murasakibara's repeated blows, his self-confidence began to waver, and he thought that his talent was not as outstanding as he had imagined.

In front of Murasakibara, he seemed just an ordinary person.

"No matter what, we must win this game!"

Kashima Fengshuang took a deep breath, and instead of feeling discouraged, this further stimulated his fighting spirit.

Beep~
At this time, Coach Domoto made a quick decision and requested a timeout to prevent the team's morale from suffering an irreparable blow due to consecutive points lost.

When the Sanno players left the court, Coach Domoto looked closely at each Sanno player.

His eyes were fixed on Kashima Feng Shuang, and he said, "Kashima, you will defend Mitsui. You must go all out and limit his performance!"

"Yes, coach!"

Kashima Fengshuang looked thoughtful and responded with a smile.

Coach Domoto looked at Ohwada again. He thought about replacing Ohwada, but eventually gave up the idea.

Because Ohkawada can at least hold on for a while, the other inside players are likely to be passed by Murasakibara in one step.

In addition, Sanno Industrial needs Ohkawada's rebounds.

"Kawata, your next mission is very important."

Coach Domoto continued with a hint of seriousness in his tone, "You must stay calm. No matter how the opponent provokes you, you must keep your mind steady and consume his energy as much as possible."

He hopes that through such an arrangement, the team can gain more chances of winning.

"I got it, Coach!"

Ohkawada patted his chest hard, trying to cheer himself up.

After the timeout, players from both teams returned to the court.

In Sanno Industrial's attack, under the organization of Fukatsu, Sanno players began to implement tactical coordination in an orderly manner.

Sanno players are like precision machines. They move flexibly on the court, and every movement has been trained and polished countless times.

Shenjin's eyes were like a hawk, observing every detail on the field.

Ohkawada no longer blindly pursued personal performance, but began to actively seek cooperation with his teammates.

He has realized that basketball is a team sport and individual heroism cannot bring ultimate victory.

He began to use his physical advantage more to create opportunities for his teammates instead of just fighting alone.

Soon, Sanno players continued to tear open the opponent's defense through passing and running, and the offense became smoother.

Soon, Kashima Kaede Frost shook off Yamamoto Kuma and appeared outside the three-point line.

shuh~
Fukatsu made a timely pass and assisted Kashima Kaede to hit a three-pointer.

It was Shohoku's turn to attack. After discovering that Kashima Kaede was actively guarding Mitsui, Murasaki's expression changed slightly.

As a result, except for him, the other four positions of Xiangbei have all fallen into a disadvantage, and it is likely that they will find it difficult to achieve anything.

In this situation, Murasakibara wanted to use the one-star-four-shooting tactic to attract double-teaming and assist his teammates in scoring.

In the blink of an eye, Murasakibara broke through Ohkawada's defense again and rushed straight to the basket.

After breaking into the paint, Murasakibara made a layup.

During the entire process, the Sanno players did not provide any backup or assist defense against him, let alone double-team him.

Mu Mu frowned and found that things were not simple.

In the next round, Murasakibara scored in the same way.

Just like the previous round, apart from Ohkawada's solo defense, Sanno Industrial did not take any other defensive measures.

However, his teammates were closely watched and had no chance at all.

After returning to his own half, Mu Mu immediately reminded his teammates: "Everyone, you have to further strengthen your running and covering!"

Murasakibara has a clear mind and has seen through Sanno Industrial's tactical layout.

Sanno Industrial's strategy is nothing more than to force Murasakibara to be isolated and helpless through a tight defensive strategy, leaving him with only unlimited singles.

After all, human physical strength is limited. After all, he is a human being, not a god.

He can score 50 points or even more in the game with his personal ability, but basketball is a team sport after all.

Without the support of teammates, even if the individual performance is outstanding, it will still be difficult to lead the team to victory.

In the early days of Jordan's career, the Bulls implemented the strategy of four players spreading out and Jordan playing alone.

Jordan: I am not picky. No matter if the opponent is a star or not, I will beat him without distinction. All beings are equal.

However, despite Jordan's omnipotence and high scores in every game, the Bulls did not achieve good results and even disappeared in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years.

This also caused Jordan to be widely questioned and criticized, and he was even once labeled as a "data brush".

It was not until the Zen Master took over as the coach of Red Bull that Jordan no longer obsessed with personal scoring. Coupled with the growth of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, this laid the foundation for the future Red Bull dynasty.

Therefore, Murasakibara hopes that his teammates can run efficiently like a precision machine through active running and screen, so as to further improve the team's winning rate.
