Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 228 Stop, please don’t hit me anymore!

At this moment, Futian's heart was filled with frustration.

He stared at the basket with a dull look in his eyes, obviously having suffered a heavy blow.

Originally, he had some confidence in his own abilities and hoped to score one or two goals.

However, it was not until he actually fought with him that Fukuda truly realized how terrifying Murasakibara's strength was.

This made him deeply aware that the gap between himself and the top high school student in the country was far greater than he had imagined.

That kind of calm control and overwhelming strength is enough to impress everyone.

In front of Murasakibara, he felt like a beginner.

At the same time, Fukuda began to fall into deep doubt whether he had any hope of reaching the same heights as Murasakibara.

"Fukuda, you underestimate the value of the nation's top high school student! Not to mention you, even Amu, Fujima, and Mitsui, who are also the four rising stars of Kanagawa, would likely be completely defeated by Murasaki in a one-on-one match."

Seeing that Fukuda began to fall into self-doubt, Coach Tanaoka immediately took measures to provide psychological counseling.

"Afuku, at least you challenged Mumu-senpai. Unlike me, I didn't dare to challenge him. In this respect, you are better than me."

On the side, Ah Shen was also providing psychological counseling to his friend.

With the guidance of the two, Futian took a deep breath and gradually recovered from the blow.

He decided to learn lessons from this failure, find out his shortcomings, and develop a more rigorous training plan.

At the same time, he is determined to take Mu Mu as his goal, and he will not give up even if the road ahead is bumpy and long.

Call ~
After Fukuda stepped out of the shadow, Coach Tanaoka was visibly relieved.

He was really afraid that this promising young talent would never recover.

It was also at this time that Ah Shen raised a question that had troubled him for a long time: "Senior, I feel that I am not very suitable for the center position. Which position do you think I am more suitable for?"

There was a hint of confusion in his voice. Because of his height, his coach in junior high school always made him play center.

Unfortunately, he is too weak in confrontation and cannot gain a foothold in the interior, which shows that he obviously does not have such potential.

Mu Mu slowly said, "From what I've just observed, I've discovered that you not only have the height and arms of an inside player, but you also have the speed and agility of an outside player. I think you're more suitable for the shooting guard position."

Having seen 'The Answer' in advance, Murasakibara knows very well about A-shin's future.

"Shooting guard!"

Ashen looked surprised. He originally thought it would be a power forward or a small forward, but he didn't expect it to be a shooting guard.

"In the shooting guard position, you have obvious advantages in height and wingspan. If you can improve your three-point shooting and defense, you may even have a chance to become a starting player for the Ryonan team."

With A Shen's talent, as long as he doesn't meet players like Sakuragi and Rukawa who have explosive athletic ability and are not much different in height, he will definitely have good opportunities to perform.

Of course, it would be even better if there was an excellent point guard to assist.

"I have mastered the three-point shot. I need to focus on improving my defense during this period of time."

After hearing Murasakibara's suggestion, Shen picked up the basketball from the ground.

The next moment, under the surprised gaze of Tiangang Shigeichi, Shen made a three-pointer with a flick of his hand.

His posture is very beautiful, but his hand gestures are not very standard and his shooting speed is a bit slow.

shuh~
The basketball went into the net, creating a splash of color on the net.

Last year at the county tournament, A Shen and Fukuda watched the Shohoku team's game together.

Among them, Akemi was impressed by the shooting of Murasakibara and Mitsui.

At that time, Ashen became interested in three-point shots and thought it would be great if he could master that kind of shooting ability.

So, over the next six months, he would often stay after training and practice three-point shots alone on the basketball court until nightfall.

During this time, he discovered that he had a talent for shooting.

Even without special coaching, he can still ensure a high open three-point shooting percentage.

"Ah Shen, change your position and shoot again!"

Coach Tiangang picked up the basketball excitedly and passed the ball to Shen again.

"Ok!"

This time, Ashen came to the right corner and threw the basketball in his hand again.

shuh~
Ah Shen hits again.

"continue!"

Coach Tiangang looked at A Shen with more and more excitement.

Swish swish swish~
Ashen started shooting three-pointers from various positions with a considerable hit rate.

"This open three-pointer shooting percentage..."

The more Coach Tian Gang watched, the more frightened he became, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

At this moment, he sincerely thanked Murasakibara, otherwise he might have missed the opportunity to meet A Shen.

Not long after, Ah Shen stopped.

He was very satisfied with his performance.

Like Murasakibara, all of this comes from his hard training day after day.

"A Shen, there is a problem with your shooting power. If you correct it, I believe your shooting speed and hit rate will be able to improve even more."

It was obvious that Murasakibara had discovered A-Shin's problem.

When Ah Shen shoots, he basically uses the strength of his arms.

After hearing what Murasakibara said, A Shen hurriedly asked Murasakibara for the correct way to apply force when shooting.

"Shooting relies on the strength of the whole body, starting from the legs, passing through the waist and shoulders, and finally concentrating on the wrist and fingers to shoot the ball. Remember, shooting is not just an arm movement, but the result of the coordination of the whole body."

When Murasakibara was speaking, Shen seemed particularly serious and focused.

Seeing how serious A-shen was, Murasakibara became interested and began to patiently guide him.

From the posture of holding the ball to the force of shooting, to the arc of shooting, every detail is taken into account.

Under Murasakibara's guidance, A Shen gradually mastered the correct shooting technique.

"Now you have basically mastered it. You just need to practice more. I have something else to do, so I will go back first."

Mu Mu didn't stay here for long and prepared to go home for dinner.

"Thank you very much, Senior!"

A Shen hurriedly bowed to Murasakibara and expressed his gratitude.

Murasaki accepted it calmly, because he knew very well that this teaching could help A-shen avoid many detours.

"I must repay this favor as soon as possible!"

Looking at Murasakibara's back, Coach Tanaka made a decision silently.

After saying goodbye to Coach Wada and others, Murasakibara got on his bicycle and sped away.

Suddenly, Murasaki stopped his bicycle again.

The reason was simple, he saw a familiar figure again.

They were a tall bald boy and a short, fat and wretched middle-aged man.

The bald boy was Naito, who was planning to go home. However, he had to go back because he accidentally forgot his basketball in the locker room.

By the way, the key in Naito’s hand came from Coach Anzai.

From this point, we can see how much Coach Anzai values ​​Naito.

On the way, Naito was stopped by a short and fat middle-aged man who looked like an orangutan.

This short and fat middle-aged man was none other than Coach Tiangang’s mortal enemy – Coach Gaotou!
Mu Mu narrowed his eyes and stood quietly in the corner listening. At this time, the voice of Coach Gaotou rang out: "Naito Tetsuya, you have great talent and are definitely a good candidate for basketball. As long as you come to our Hainan Affiliated High School, I will definitely train you to be the best player."

Coach Takato's words revealed his high regard for Tetsuya Naito.

It was obvious that he wanted to recruit Naito to join Hainan High School.

"Oh, they're poaching me."

Not far away, Mu Mu frowned slightly.

He spent a lot of effort to lure Naito to Shohoku, and even taught him a lot of basketball skills. But Gao Touri wanted to take advantage of the situation. How could he tolerate this?
However, Murasakibara still wanted to see what Naito really thought.

At this time, Naito decisively shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I choose Xiangbei!"

Naito's answer surprised Coach Takato. He didn't expect Naito to reject his invitation so firmly.

"How can I repair it? What's so good about Xiangbei?"

Coach Takato naturally knew that Naito was from Shohoku, otherwise, how could he have "encountered" Naito by such a coincidence.

However, he knew that Naito was already a designated player of Shohoku, but he still came to poach him. His intention is despicable.

In order to recruit Naito, Coach Takato decided to use a different approach: "Naito, our Hainan High School is a team that dominates Kanagawa Prefecture all year round. As long as you join our Hainan High School, I can decide to reduce your tuition and make you the starting player of the team within a year. What do you think?"

Coach Gaotou used brief words to quickly show Naito the basketball tradition and glorious history of Hainan High School.

However, Naito Tetsuya seemed uninterested in Hainan High School, and instead of answering, he asked, "Is that stronger than Shohoku?"

Coach Gaotou's chest heaved violently, and he was obviously angry.

However, what Naito said was true.

The current Hainan High School is definitely no match for Xiangbei!

However, Coach Gaotou quickly calmed down.

"We were just unlucky last year, otherwise, we might not be worse than Xiangbei!"

However, Naito did not buy it. He retorted: "You are lying! Last year, Hainan High School did not even qualify. How can it be compared with Xiangbei?"

Naito obviously had some doubts about the strength of Hainan High School.

Your Hainan High School didn’t even qualify, so how can you be compared with Xiangbei, which won the winter championship?
Coach Gaotou felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been stabbed again.

Last year can be said to be his eternal pain.

Whether it was the summer national competition or the winter competition, Hainan High School was always one step behind.

"If it wasn't for Xiangbei..."

Thinking of this, Coach Takato became more and more determined to poach Naito.

If Naito is poached, it will not only enhance the team's strength, but also weaken the strength of the main opponent, especially since Xiangbei is in great need of inside players.

cough~
Coach Gaotou coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Naito, you seem to have some misunderstandings about our Hainan Affiliated High School. Well, let's not talk about this for now. As long as Naito is willing to join us, not only will the tuition be waived, I will also apply for a scholarship for you."

"Sorry, Xiangbei also offered me the same conditions and promised to give me the starting treatment of the team!"

However, Naito's answer once again disappointed Coach Takato.

The conditions that Xiangbei gave to Naito were related to Coach Anzai.

In addition, it is also closely related to Xiangbei's performance last year.

Compared with last year, the school has significantly increased its training efforts for the basketball team.

Not only Naito, but the three giants of Xiangbei also received such treatment.

As for the other starting players of Xiangbei, they also received different preferential treatments.

"Damn it!" Coach Gaotou cursed in his heart but remained calm on the surface.

He decided to raise the stakes: "Our Hainan High School is the affiliated high school of Hainan University. As long as you join us, you will have the opportunity to enter Hainan University without taking the entrance exam after graduation."

In order to recruit Tetsuya Naito, Coach Takato showed his utmost sincerity.

When talking about Hainan University, Coach Gaotou's words were full of pride.

Naito tilted his head and asked instead, "Hainan University? Is Fukasawa Sports University good?"

"Fukazawa Sports University!"

When Coach Gaotou heard the name, he didn't know what to say.

Although the Hainan University basketball team is relatively well-known, there is still a huge gap compared to the giant Fukasawa Sports University.

Among many universities, the basketball department of Fukazawa Sports University is No. 1, far surpassing Hainan University in both strength and popularity. The key is that Fukazawa Sports University has always been famous for cultivating excellent centers.

"Naito-san, what does this have to do with Fukasawa Sports University?"

"Muro-senpai believes that with my potential, when I graduate, Fukasawa Sports University will definitely invite me personally."

"Mr. Naito, if you join our Hainan High School, you will also have a chance to get an invitation from Fukasawa Sports University. Even if you don't get an invitation, you can still join Hainan University, at least there is a backup, don't you think?"

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Naito seemed a little impatient and continued, "Coach, you should find someone else!"

Even though Coach Takato talked a lot of nonsense, Naito was determined not to be a mean person.

Without waiting for Coach Takato to say anything, Naito made a rugby charge and rushed past.

"Damn Xiangbei!"

Looking at Naito's disappearing back, Coach Takato stomped his feet in indignation.

At this moment, Coach Gaotou's hatred towards Xiangbei increased again.

It was also at this time that messy footsteps came from behind.

Coach Gaotou turned around and found himself surrounded by four teenagers.

They are the Sakuragi Army!

It turned out that when Murasakibara was hiding in the corner and observing, the Sakuragi Army happened to pass by.

After learning that Coach Takato wanted to poach Naito, the Sakuragi Army showed great loyalty and prepared to teach Coach Takato an unforgettable lesson.

So, Mu Mu did not show up.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

The next moment, Coach Takato screamed and was dragged into an alley by the Sakuragi Army.

Seeing this scene, passers-by did not step forward to stop it, but instead avoided it.

In this era, the frequency of fights and brawls in the island country is extremely high.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Soon, Gao Touli's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, were heard from the alley.

"Stop, please stop hitting me!"

Not long after, Gao Touli began to hold his head and beg for mercy.

After ten minutes, the Sakuragi Army clapped their hands and left the alley refreshed.

Not long after, Gao Touli covered his butt, limped out of the alley and appeared on the road.

This time, he was taught a severe lesson.

Just at this moment, a bicycle came over and stopped steadily in front of Coach Gaotou.

"Hey, isn't this Gao Tou Li?"

Looking at the miserable Gao Touli, Coach Tiangang felt very happy.

Like the Sakuragi Army, he just happened to pass by at the right time and did not expect to encounter such a good thing. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to ridicule Gao Touli.
