Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 242 Two Tips!

Mu Mu asked tentatively: "Why don't you let him give it a try?"

"Since we are free anyway, let him warm up first and then we can see after our duel is over."

Mu Lin naturally did not refuse, and then looked at Mitsui again.

Mitsui was confused because he couldn't understand bird language!

On the side, Akagi looked at Mitsui with envy.

He understood roughly what was said, but his English was not yet at the level of communication and his accent was very heavy.

"Mitsui, I helped you get an opportunity. Now Mullin wants to see your shooting level. It depends on you whether you can grasp it or not!"

Hearing what Murasakibara said, Mitsui was so excited that he trembled all over and almost worshipped Murasakibara as his godfather on the spot!
If you don't mind, I'd like to be your foster father!

While Mitsui was warming up, Murasakibara and Mullin came to the halfcourt.

The two discussed it and decided that each would have five ball possessions!

"My friend, you come first!"

Mullin took the lead and passed the ball to Mumu.

Naturally, Mu Mu did not refuse and stood outside the three-point line ready to launch an attack.

Mulin took a defensive stance and stared at Mu Mu without blinking.

Mulin is 201 cm tall and weighs 98 kg, obviously taller and stronger than Murasakibara.

However, like Bird, Mullin does not have outstanding physical talents.

In terms of physical fitness, there is a clear gap between him and Drexler.

You know, Drexler is a talented guy at the level of NBA history.

In Mure's opinion, Mullin's physical fitness is probably at a lower-middle level in the NBA.

Compared with Mullin, Murasakibara's physical fitness is not much worse. At least he will not be crushed by a talented person like Drexler.

Of course, what makes Mullin better than Drexler is that his shooting ability is absolutely at the top level in the NBA.

In this era, the representatives of shooters are Reggie Miller and Mullin, as well as Bird who retired last year.

As for Curry's father, Dell Curry, although he is very accurate in shooting, he is just a role player.

On the court, Murasakibara controlled the ball skillfully.

Mu Lin lowered his center of gravity slightly and took a step away from Murasakibara.

His eyes were sharp and focused on the basketball in Murasakibara's hands, looking for an opportunity to attack.

At the first moment, Murasakibara made a feint and then changed direction in front of his body.

Mu Lin quickly moved sideways and successfully blocked Mu Mu's breakthrough route.

His pace is slow, but that's relative to NBA players.

In fact, Murasakibara is not much faster than him.

Without hesitation, Mulin took the opportunity to play confrontation and came into contact with Murasakibara.

In the iron-blooded era of the NBA, competition was fierce and fights were commonplace.

Well, you have to play ball and fight at the same time.

bang~
Suddenly, a dull sound of muscles colliding was heard.

Mullin hardly changed, but Murasakibara staggered and his ball control movement was instantly deformed.

Mullin naturally would not miss this opportunity. Before Murasakibara could regroup, he reached for the basketball with his left hand as fast as lightning.

Like Drexler, Mullin is also good at stealing.

Relying on MAX's reaction, Murasakibara quickly pulled the ball and then followed with a cross step.

His movements were smooth and quick, an instinctive reaction that had been honed over and over again.

After this period of practice, the crossover step is not far from the next stage.

Although it has not yet entered the next stage, compared with a few months ago, Murasakibara's crossover step has become more confusing and difficult for opponents to predict, and there is a subtle trend of integrating man and ball.

Mullin tried his best to stop it, but his center of gravity was inevitably shifted.

It seemed as if there were springs under Murasakibara's feet, and every movement was full of explosive power and rhythm.

While Mulin was still unstable, Mu Mu found an opportunity and easily got rid of Mulin's entanglement.

"what!"

Mullin exclaimed in surprise. Seeing Mu Mu's actions reminded him of his teammate "The Worm" Tim Hardaway!

Among the NBA's change of direction masters, Tim Hardaway definitely has a place.

Although Iverson is the biggest spokesperson for crossover, it was not him who invented this technology, but Tim Hardaway.

Hardaway is known as the father of the crotch dribble. He brought this dribble technique to the NBA for the first time and promoted it to prominence.

Unlike Iverson, Hardaway's change of direction is very secretive. He is good at breaking through quickly by powerful explosive balls, making it difficult for defenders to defend.

In Mullin's opinion, Murasakibara's crossover step has reached a very high level, and many NBA guards may not do better than him.

Mullin has rich defensive experience and turned back immediately.

His footsteps were relatively heavy, and his explosive power was not necessarily stronger than Murasakibara's, which resulted in the distance between the two sides not being closed quickly.

Before Mulin got close, Mure stepped hard on the floor.

puff~
Accompanied by the sound of friction between the soles of his shoes and the floor, Mu Mu suddenly stopped, jumped up, shook his wrist slightly, and threw the basketball in his hand out.

His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had practiced them countless times.

This is LV9’s pull-up jump shot!

As soon as the basketball flew out of his hand, Murasakibara seemed to have foreseen the scene of the basketball going into the net.

When Murasakibara shot, although Mullin jumped up, he was still a step too late and could only watch the basketball fly towards the basket.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

1:0
Murasaki clenched his right fist, feeling very excited.

“Good throw!”

Akagi and Mitsui looked even more excited than Murasakibara.

On the sidelines, Elizabeth was also applauding Murasakibara.

"The crossover step and the pull-up jump shot are well connected. I didn't expect you to have this skill!"

Mu Lin seemed very surprised and looked at Mu Mu with admiration.

He was very sure of his judgment. The crossover step and quick stop jump shot that Murasakibara had just demonstrated both showed his excellent level.

Mullin originally thought that Murasakibara could become Drexler's temporary sparring partner, which was just picking the tallest among the short ones, and his level might not be that high.

It’s different now, Murasakibara is obviously better than he expected.

As for how outstanding he is, we need to further test his depth.

"Chris, it's your turn!"

Mu Mu passed the ball to Mullin outside the three-point line, who was also one step away from him.

It's Mullin's turn to attack!
The moment Mullin dribbled the ball, Murasakibara immediately stepped forward and cast Death Coil.

"This guy's defense is a lot like that little guy Payton!"

Mullin was a little surprised, but not much affected.

During this process, Mullin dribbled sideways and took the initiative to exert confrontation.

Murasaki was easily knocked away, but he did not give up and wanted to continue to pester him.

At this moment, Mullin dribbled the ball between his legs and changed direction, shaking Mumu's center of gravity.

This is the crotch change he learned from Tim Hardaway!
Changing direction between the legs is Tim Hardaway's best breakthrough technique. The movement is simple, efficient and very entertaining, and has become his signature move.

It was he who brought this street basketball-style skill into the NBA, so he is also known as the 'Godfather of Crotch Dribbling'.

In a flash, the two crossed paths. After completing the breakthrough, Mullin also made a quick stop jump shot.

The difference is that Mullin shoots with his left hand.

It was also at this time that Murasakibara received two prompts.

This also makes Murasakibara full of expectations!

[Learnable skill detected - Crotch change, learning progress 3%]

[Special title detected - God's Left Hand, acquisition progress 1%]

One skill, one title!
This is more explosive than Drexler!
"If nothing unexpected happens, God's left hand should be able to strengthen his non-dominant hand!"

When he thought of this, Mu Mu's heart was filled with excitement.

If his left hand could reach Mullin's level, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

"continue!"

Mullin passed the ball to Murasakibara, and his eyes were obviously more serious than before.

The moment he caught the ball, Murasakibara started instantly.

He performed the cross step again and tried to break through in the same way.

Unfortunately, this time Mullin was clearly prepared.

Even though his physical fitness is mediocre, he is experienced.

During the blocking process, Mullin took the initiative to confront and slow down Murasakibara's rhythm and pace.

In terms of confrontation, Murasakibara was clearly at a disadvantage.

"It seems that the same moves are unlikely to work in front of superstars!"

At this moment, Murasakibara suddenly changed the rhythm of ball control, using the method of passing with the opposite foot, cleverly shaking off Mullin and finally completing the breakthrough.

Sam Gold is amazing!

Mu Mu's breakthrough action surprised Mu Lin, but also made him feel familiar.

However, now is not the time to think.

He can't let Murasakibara score again, otherwise where will his face be? After all, he is a superstar.

The moment Murasakibara broke through, Mu Lin turned around and chased after him.

During this process, Mullin became more wary of Murasakibara's pull-up jump shot.

However, Murasakibara did not perform another quick stop jump shot, but instead rushed straight to the basket.

The moment he stepped into the free throw line, Murasakibara took advantage of the momentum to jump up and prepared to dunk.

"No, so far?"

This also caught Mullin off guard.

By the time he reacted, it was too late.

Under Mullin's shocked gaze, Mu Mu glided in the air for a distance, and only when he was close to the basket did he finally show signs of falling.

Using his strong core strength of waist and abdomen, Murasakibara made a graceful and powerful tomahawk slam dunk.

Bang~
With a dull sound, Murasakibara let go of the basket and fell to the ground, making the same pose as Rukawa Kaede landing.

clap~
Mulin applauded and gave Murasakibara a thumbs up.

"Little glider!"

When Murayama made that gliding dunk just now, Mullin seemed to see the shadow of Drexler.

Except for the difference in bounce, hovering and gliding distance, it is exactly the same as Drexler, especially the ability to not lose altitude during gliding.

"This is all thanks to Clyde!"

Murasaki put all the blame on Drexler.

However, Mu Lin was speechless after hearing this: "If this can be taught, I can also learn it."

This is not a question of teaching or not, it is a question of talent!
In the entire NBA, there is only one person who can dunk like Drexler.

Whether it is Jordan, Dr. J, Wilkins, or even Carter and LaVine in the future, after jumping to the highest point, they often show a trend similar to a rainbow trajectory.

As for Drexler, after he jumps to the highest point, he will glide parallel to the sky for a distance instead of descending in a parabola.

Mu Lin seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, is your name Mu Mu Gong Yan?"

A few months ago, in the game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers, Drexler used this kind of skill to dribble past him and scored 41 points.

This is why Mitch Richmond was traded to the Kings in the winter of the previous year, otherwise the hard work of defending Drexler would definitely be given to Richmond.

Here we have to say that Run TMC's backcourt trident is very powerful.

In the 1990-91 season, the Run TMC combination averaged 71.7 points per game, and all three of them became Hall of Fame members in the future.

Perhaps only the future second dynasty of the Bulls can be compared, with Jordan, Pippen and Ron Harper.

Unfortunately, the Warriors' inside performance was not very good during this period, otherwise they might have had a chance to win the championship.

After the game, Mullin took Tim Hardaway and Drexler to gather intelligence.

Drexler claimed that this breakthrough technique was created by a player named Kogure Konobu, and he called it Kogure Konobu's breakthrough!

At this moment, Mu Lin suddenly realized.

No wonder he always felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

It is obvious that Mugure's passing is a breakthrough method "invented" by Mugure.

After learning about this from Mullin, Mu Mu couldn't help but sigh at Drexler's noble character.

Not only did Drexler not use his name for the product, he also helped promote it.

Not only that, when Drexler said goodbye to Murasaki, if Murasaki went to the United States, he would help introduce his alma mater.

Such a great moral character!
This is only possible because of Drexler. Otherwise, if it was G0at, nothing like this would happen.

Well, G0at never does a business at a loss, and he will never miss any opportunity to become famous.

Skills like these can definitely benefit players throughout their lives.

Many basketball fans are familiar with these skills.

After chatting for a few words, Mugure passed the ball to Mullin again.

Mulin became more focused, he didn't want to be defeated by Mu Mu.

Because I learned from casual chatting that Murasakibara is still a 16-year-old boy.

This also shocked Mullin, because at the age of 16, he obviously had not reached Mugure's level.

In his own words, Murasakibara has already begun to reach the NBA level.

To have such a level at the age of 16, and being a yellow man, Mulin feels like he is living the life of a dog.

Mulin is sure of one thing: Mumu's future is bright.

The next moment, facing Murasakibara's tight defense, Mulin used the crotch change of direction again.

When using the crotch change of direction to break through, he also engaged in confrontation.

Due to the disadvantage in confrontation, Murasakibara's defense was greatly compromised.

Soon, Mu Mu was easily knocked away by Mu Lin again, and they kept a short distance apart.

Taking advantage of this gap, Mullin made another breakthrough.

Mullin does an excellent job with or without the ball, which is more like Larry Bird.

After completing the breakthrough, Mullin chose to finish with a jump shot without waiting for Murasakibara to close the distance.

shuh~
The basketball fell accurately into the basket, creating a splash of color on the net.

2:2
During this process, Mugure discovered that as long as Mullin dribbled or shot with his left hand, he could increase the God's left hand progress bar.
