Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 243 This is truly a thrilling duel!

After scoring the goal, Mullin breathed a sigh of relief.

As for why he was relieved, it was because Murasakibara was not an NBA player and was only 16 years old.

If he were defeated by Murasakibara, he would lose all face.

As an NBA superstar, he still has a lot of dignity to protect.

"This ball must be restricted at all costs!"

Mullin took a deep breath and passed the ball to Mu Mu again.

This time, Mullin was more focused than ever before and showed the fighting spirit of the playoffs.

In the NBA, Mullin, like Drexler, is a player whose strength is greater than his fame.

在1988-1989赛季，穆林季后赛场均能够取得29.4分5.9篮板4.3助攻。

Of course, this was his peak season.

The moment he received the ball, Kogure Mitsunobu broke through again with the ball.

As a defender, Mullin cut off the breakthrough route and quickly entangled him.

Not only did he take the initiative to physically confront Murasakibara, he also used some small moves from time to time to try to slow down Murasakibara's pace.

Under Mu Lin's entanglement, Mu Mu's movements were somewhat distorted.

However, Mugure was not intimidated by Mullin's tough defense because it was still within his ability to deal with it.

Compared to Drexler, Mullin's defense is undoubtedly much inferior.

There's no way, the physical fitness of the two is too different.

In an instant, Murasakibara's ball control movement changed, and he used his signature move again - 'Muraasaki Konosuba's pass'!
Mu Lin thought that Mu Mu would break through with his other foot, so he subconsciously moved his feet.

Unfortunately, Mu Mu did not proceed as Mu Lin expected.

This time, he broke through with the same foot.

Murasaki's change caught Mulin off guard.

Fortunately, Mullin was experienced enough and immediately changed his defensive strategy. He quickly took a step back and confronted Murasakibara at the same time, and finally stopped Murasakibara.

After this contest, the two have moved to the free throw line.

Seeing that he was unable to break through Mullin's defense, Murasaki had to use his best skill.

He first leaned back, using body contact to gain space for himself, and while putting pressure on Mullin, he turned and jumped.

Mullin jumped up in time, raised his hands high, and tried to block Mugure's shot.

However, during the jump, Murasakibara began to lean backwards.

Mullin could only watch with his eyes wide open as the distance between the two sides grew farther and farther.

Because he saw the shadow of Jordan in Musashi's actions, there were striking similarities between the two.

Is this 16 years old?
"I can't make the shot, I can't make the shot, I can't make the shot!"

Meanwhile, Mullin continued to pray.

In order to avoid being blocked, Murasakibara had to increase the angle of his backward shot.

When the basket came into view again, Murasakibara shook his wrist slightly and threw the ball into the basket based on his feeling.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed through the air, and finally went into the net!
3:2
"Fuck, it's in again!"

Mitsui was so moved that his legs went weak that he knelt on the ground and bowed down in worship.

Don’t ask why Mitsui was kneeling on the ground, the reason is that he saw God!
At this moment, Mitsui really wanted to worship Murasakibara as his godfather!
If you don't mind, I'd like to be your foster father!

"It turns out that Mumu is so strong!"

Akagi was equally shocked.

In just one year, you tell me that Murasakibara has evolved to this point?

On the court, Mullin looked at Mu Mu with complicated eyes.

Murasaki's turnaround jump shot reminded him of that man.

In this era, Jordan is undoubtedly the most dominant player. Many superstars missed the championship because of him, such as Malone, Barkley, Stockton, Miller, Payton and so on.

Mullin is also one of the victims, and has no championship in his career!
In the past few years, Mullin, who was at the peak of his career, had a very good chance of winning the championship, especially when he was a member of the TMC combination, he became the favorite to win the championship.

Unfortunately, whether it was the Warriors or the later Pacers, Mullin's team was never able to get past the Bulls.

If these superstars can win a championship ring, their historical status will undoubtedly take a big step forward.

During this period, Mullin already had a mild fear of Joe.

Mu Lin was silent for a while, and finally said: "Mumu, who did you learn your turnaround fadeaway jump shot from?"

“I taught myself by watching videotapes!”

Although he learned the turnaround jump shot and fadeaway jump shot from others, the turnaround fadeaway jump shot that connects the two techniques was figured out by Murasakibara.

So, he was right.

"Genius! I have never seen a genius like you!"

Mullin's mouth trembled, and then he gave a thumbs up.

"After the duel is over, I will teach you a technique."

Mu Lin couldn't help but want to test how talented Mu Mu was.

"Chris, can you teach me how to cross-legged?"

If Mullin teaches basketball skills that are not recognized as skills by the Golden Finger, Murasakibara will be like a normal player and it will take a lot of time to learn them.

This is also the main reason why Murasakibara chose to change direction between the legs.

"Row!"

Mullin naturally did not refuse.

Back then, Tim Hardaway taught him for two and a half months before he could barely learn this breakthrough technique.

This is because his basic skills are solid enough, otherwise it would definitely take more time.

After agreeing, Mullin signaled to Mugure to pass the ball again.

Murasaki passed the ball again.

After receiving the ball, Mullin leaned forward, stepped out with his right foot, and prepared for a quick breakthrough.

Mu Mu quickly moved sideways, trying to cut off Mullin's breakthrough route.

At the moment when Muguru moved sideways, Mullin took a step back and his feet landed steadily outside the three-point line.

His movements seemed to have been rehearsed countless times beforehand. Although both were step-back jump shots, Mullin did it faster and better than Murasakibara.

Mu Mu was caught off guard and could only watch Mullin throw the basketball in his hand.

shuh~
The basketball went through the net, and the white net flowers were swirling wildly.

3:3
Mullin was not surprised, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Given the longer three-point line in the NBA, this is equivalent to a long two points for Mullin.

Although Mullin made a three-pointer, there is no rule that a three-pointer can score extra points.

Therefore, a three-pointer also only counts as one point.

Murasakibara's offensive turn comes again.

After a fierce entanglement and physical confrontation, Murasakibara appeared near the free throw line again.

If you want to go deeper, you need to expend a lot of energy.

Without any hesitation, Murasakibara once again used a turnaround jump shot.

He first turned quickly, using the inertia of the turn, and then leaned back.

He leaned back a lot, but he still kept his balance.

Instantly, he threw the ball again.

Unlike last time, Murasakibara's aiming point has changed.

Instead of choosing the center of the basket, he aimed at the edge.

bang~
The basketball hit the edge of the basket, making a crisp sound.

"Oh, I missed the shot!"

Mu Mu shook his head in annoyance.

In fact, it was Murasakibara who missed the shot on purpose.

Don’t ask why, the answer is emotional intelligence!
Mullin is strong on offense but weak on defense, not as balanced as Drexler.

At the same time, Mullin's advantage lies in his shooting ability.

In addition, Mullin has been seriously injured and is no longer in his prime. Of course, it is also related to the improvement of Mu Mu's strength in the past few months.

No matter what, Murasakibara is at the NBA level!

Don’t underestimate the water dispenser manager, he is ranked among the top 400 in the world.

Defeating Mullin is certainly gratifying, but it doesn't do much good for Murasakibara.

There is no video camera here, and there are only a few audience members. Apart from bragging rights, there is no other benefit.

Speaking of videos, Mu Mu couldn't help but think of G0at's "dunk gate".

At that time, G0at was dunked by a college player in a training camp, and then he took back all the videos and photos of the training camp.

Mullin is an NBA superstar after all, and he must have his own pride. If he is defeated or tied, he will most likely choose to walk away and no longer pay attention to Murasakibara.

A NBA superstar was defeated by a 16-year-old boy. What's the difference between this and a slap in the face?

To put it another way, even if Mullin won with a score of 5:4, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood.

On the contrary, a score of 5:3 can not only demonstrate Murasakibara's strength and prevent Mullin from underestimating him, but also provide Mullin with enough emotional value!
Well, a thrilling duel!

Mu Mu took the initiative to approach Mu Lin in order to obtain titles, skills and guidance from him to further increase his strength.

Call ~
After Murasakibara missed a shot, Mullin was obviously relieved and immediately showed a relaxed smile.

In Mullin's offensive round, in order to increase his success rate, Mullin turned around and attacked Murasakibara from behind.

bang~
Mu Mu felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but take a step back.

Mullin's confrontation ability is obviously better than Akagi's.

In terms of strength and weight, Mullin clearly had the upper hand.

bang~ bang~ bang~
Under Mu Lin's hit from behind, Mu Mu couldn't stop retreating.

In this era, there was no five-second rule for posting up.

This rule is mainly related to Barkley and Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson has a unique skill that is well known to many fans, which is to use his big butt to back up his opponent for one-on-one play.

In the 2000 Finals, the Pacers had a fixed tactic, which was to pull away and let Jackson back down Kobe.

Later, the NBA league specifically introduced the 5-second rule for post-up plays.

Soon, Mullin advanced to the paint area.

The next moment, Mullin turned quickly and scored the ball easily.

3:4
"I can't defend it. I really can't defend it!"

Mu Mu pretended to be helpless and continued to provide emotional value to Mu Lin.

"Mumu, don't underestimate yourself! At the age of 16, I would like to call you the strongest!"

Mulin obviously recognized Murasaki's strength and gave him a thumbs up.

Mu Mu thought to himself, "This sentence sounds familiar. Drexler seems to have said something similar."

Soon, Murasakibara turned around and made another fadeaway jump shot.

bang~
The basketball missed the target again!

Whether it was intentional or accidental, only Murasakibara knew.

shuh~
Mullin's last ball was another back-to-the-basket single.

There was nothing Murasaki could do about this.

Soon, Mullin knocked Mumu into the paint and made a turnaround jump shot.

3:5
It can be said that Murasaki used all his skills to defend Mulin.

Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity.

His defense looks strong, and his Death Coil level is not low, but it has not reached the NBA level yet.

After winning the duel, Mullin's mouth curled up slightly and he was in an extremely good mood.

"Mumu, can you be my temporary sparring partner like Drexler? I'll give you a good salary!"

"can!"

Mu Mu naturally agreed readily. Becoming Mu Lin's sparring partner was exactly the opportunity he had been longing for!
As for the treatment, it is secondary.

Last time, Drexler gave him a full thousand dollars. I wonder if Mullin will be as generous as Drexler?

After chatting with Mulin for a while, Mu Mu looked at Mitsui and asked, "Mitsui, are you done warming up?"

"All right!"

Mitsui hurried over, looking very nervous.

Mullin pulled a stopwatch out of his pocket and said, "In ten minutes, shoot 20 three-pointers in each of these five positions!"

That is to say, a total of 100 three-pointers.

At this time, Akagi came over dragging two basketball baskets.

"Akagi, I'll pass the ball and you pick it up!"

In terms of passing accuracy, strength and timing, Murasakibara is better than Akagi, which to some extent has improved Mitsui's hit rate.

At the same time, this is also another opportunity to show off.

"start!"

As he spoke, Mullin immediately pressed the stopwatch.

Immediately, Murasakibara passed the basketball in his hand to Mitsui at the top of the arc.

For the first ball, Murasakibara controlled the angle and strength very well.

bang~
Unfortunately, Mitsui missed the shot.

He looked nervous and his hands and feet seemed to be shaking.

For Mitsui, this is more stressful than facing Sanno Industrial, after all, Mullin is his idol.

"Mitsui, stay calm!"

Murasakibara didn't want Mitsui to miss such a good opportunity.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be Mitsui's best opportunity in his life.

Mitsui would definitely benefit greatly from Mullin's guidance.

Call ~
Mitsui took a deep breath and tried to suppress the tension in his heart.

"Mu Mu, continue!"

Murasakibara continued to pass the ball, and Mitsui received the ball and made a jump shot.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

“Nice pose!”

On the side, Mu Lin sighed.

After scoring the first goal, Mitsui quickly got into the game and started shooting basketballs into the basket one by one.

In order to complete 10 balls within 100 minutes, Mitsui obviously increased the frequency.

Due to the limited number of basketballs, Akagi kept picking up the balls on the court.

Swish~swish~swish~swish~
Soon, Mitsui finished throwing the 100th ball on time.

"time up!"

Mullin pressed the stopwatch hard, with an interested look on his face.

Mitsui's talent in shooting is absolutely beyond doubt, he made 100 of 91 shots.

This hit rate may seem inferior to Murasakibara's 95 goals, but Mitsui has strict time limits.

In addition, if Mitsui was not nervous at the beginning, his hit rate would increase.

For a high school student, having such a hit rate is truly incredible.

"Very good, you can be my three-point shooting partner and practice three-point shooting with me!"

Hearing what Mulin said, Mitsui was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and Akagi looked envious.

Akagi: It's over, my position as the second-in-command is unstable!
Not long after, several people left the training venue together.

Mullin decided to rent this training venue so that he can recover during the offseason.

While Mullin was discussing with the venue manager, the three giants of Xiangbei once again entered the gymnasium.

The first thing Murasakibara did was to look at the electronic scoreboard.

At this point, the game had entered its final stage, with less than a minute left until the end of the game.

82:82
