Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 252 Classic reappearance - double stall combination!
This is what Xiandao thought and did.

Unfortunately, he met Murasakibara!
A hexagonal warrior!

In the island country's high school league, Murasakibara is qualified to be the king.

Well, the big devil!
It’s the same title as a certain historical female table tennis player!

This title is much better than The Empire's Strongest Dragon and The Empire's Most Ferocious Tiger. At least it doesn't have such a strong Chinese connotation.

After Ryonan served the ball, Sendoh quickly crossed half court and called for Uozumi to set a pick-and-roll again.

This time, Sendoh and Uozumi were much more cautious to avoid being bypassed by Murasakibara again.

Under Yuzumi's cover, Sendoh advanced smoothly.

Akagi immediately chose to switch defense. Although he could not avoid being broken through by Sendoh, he did hinder him slightly.

As soon as Sendoh completed the breakthrough, he saw an agile figure chasing him quickly from behind out of the corner of his eye. Who else could it be but Murasakibara?

Without hesitation, Sendoh immediately chose to pass the ball, preparing to pass it to Yuzumi who cut into the basket.

Murasakibara's reaction was extremely quick. He stomped on the floor hard, immediately changed direction, and appeared in Sendoh's passing route.

slap~
Murasakibara stretched out his hand and easily completed the steal.

"Quick attack!"

Under the leadership of Murasakibara, Shohoku immediately launched a fast break.

Soon, Xiangbei formed a trend of five against four.

Among them, Ryonan power forward Toyosuke Inoue ranked last.

Although Inoue Toyoshi was good in confrontation, his steps were rather slow, not as fast as Naito, and even slower than Uozumi and Akagi.

Among the inside players on both sides, Naito is undoubtedly the fastest.

Seeing his teammate have an opportunity, Murasakibara immediately threw the ball into the basket.

Naito quickly caught the basketball thrown by Murasakibara and jumped up in time.

His body stretched in the air, his hands tightly grasping the basketball, and it was an aerial relay.

At this moment, all the audience's eyes subconsciously focused on Naito.

Bang~
Along with the loud sound of the rim banging, the basketball hoop began to shake and make a creaking sound.

The basket was even pulled down to a certain extent, and it seemed that it could be pulled down at any time.

Naito's strength is so great that it is close to the endurance limit of the basket.

In Kanagawa Prefecture, although Naito is not the tallest player, he is the heaviest.

If you add the powerful force and the accompanying impact, you can imagine the force.

"Good pass, Captain!"

Naito grinned and gave Murasakibara a thumbs-up.

After returning to his own half, Murasakibara came up with an idea.

"Naito, your opponent is slow, this is a good opportunity. How about this, as soon as the opportunity arises, you immediately run, and let Akagi and I get the rebound."

Naito's eyes lit up, this is a good thing!
With Murasakibara's care, he is likely to get high scores again in this game.

"I won't let the captain down!"

Naito immediately made a promise.

Naito has full trust in Murasakibara's rebounding.

There's no way around it, his rebounding skills were taught to him by Murasakibara and Akagi.

Soon, Ryonan made a comeback!
Sendoh became more cautious, and after temporarily shaking off Murasakibara, he immediately passed the ball.

Fukuda easily broke through Ichiro Sato and rushed to the basket.

Akagi appeared under the basket first. Fukuda did not dodge but went straight forward, trying to dunk over Akagi.

bang~
The two collided in mid-air.

In the confrontation with Akagi, Fukuda was clearly at a disadvantage and his body leaned backwards significantly.

Before it fell, Futian managed to throw the ball out.

bang~
The basketball hit the backboard, and Murasakibara and Inoue Toyoyoshi scrambled for the rebound.

As the defending side, Murasakibara naturally has more advantages. He takes the best position first and traps Inoue Toyosuke behind him.

Inoue Toyosu had no defense and tried to push Murasakibara away.

However, Murasaki's feet seemed to be rooted and hardly moved.

At this time, the basketball fell down and was easily protected by Murasakibara.

"not good!"

Suddenly, Xiandao's urgent voice sounded.

It turned out that when Fukuda was forging iron, Naito immediately launched a charge without thinking.

His fast break has the potential to be a future G0at!

As we all know, as long as there is no national live broadcast, G0at often uses eye defense to deal with the situation.

The most outrageous thing is that sometimes he would take a defensive stance, but there was no one in front of him.

What to protect against? Protect against the air!
Of course, if there was a national live broadcast, G0at's defense would still be up to par.

At the first moment, Sendo returned to defense as quickly as possible.

Naito is extremely fast, but his ball handling speed holds him back.

Even though he started early, Sendoh returned to defense in time when he stepped into the free throw line.

Sendoh waved his hand and tried to steal the ball, but he was at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation with Naito.

He stumbled and fell to the ground in a very awkward manner.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naito jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

Bang~
Naito grabbed the basket with both hands, looked down at Sendoh who was lying on the ground, and smiled ferociously.

Under the light, Naito's bald head shines brightly.

His bald head was so shiny and sleek that even a mosquito couldn't stand on it.

As a first-year student, Sendoh can be said to be Naito's biggest competitor in Kanagawa, no doubt about it.

If he wants to win the best newcomer award in the county competition, Sendoh is the biggest obstacle.

Beep~
Just as Naito was 'looking at the scenery', the referee's whistle sounded.

Naito was startled and quickly loosened his hands and dropped them to the ground.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"

Naito immediately bowed and apologized to the referee.

Seeing Naito's sincere attitude, the referee's eyes softened significantly and he gave up the idea of ​​judging Naito as having committed a foul.

“I hope it won’t happen again!”

The referee warned Naito once.

To put it simply, Naito made the same mistake as Mori Shigehiro, and liked to look down at the players he knocked to the ground.

Unlike Mori Shigehiro, Naito is able to take on responsibilities and is willing to lower himself to avoid fouls.

"sure!"

Naito touched the back of his head embarrassedly and thanked the referee for not killing him.

Not far away, Xiandao was pulled up from the ground by Yuzumi.

He touched his butt and spread his hands, feeling helpless.

Coincidentally, Inoue Toyoshi also spread his hands.

Puchi~
When he saw this scene, Murasakibara couldn't help laughing. It felt like that.

The future Lakers team once staged such a scene, G0at and East 77 played four consecutive games, and were nicknamed the double-play combination by many fans!
The purpose of their doing this is nothing more than to ask the referee for a foul!
When returning to defense, Akagi asked in confusion: "Kumure, what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered something happy!"

"whats the matter?"

"My wife gave birth... No, I don't have a wife. Anyway, this is something worth being happy about!"

Murasakibara didn't have a good excuse and just dealt with it casually.

Akagi scratched his head, his face full of question marks.

Soon, Ryonan launched another attack. This time, Sendoh seized the opportunity, attracting Akagi's attention while assisting Fukuda to dunk.

Xiangbei's starting lineup is strong, but it also has a flaw, that is, the small forward position.

Although Ichiro Sato has been working very hard in the past few months, he is limited by his lack of talent and is only at the level of a main substitute for a strong team.

Ichiro Sato's static talent is similar to Ashen's, but his dynamic talent and feel are much inferior.

A Shen's dynamic talent may seem mediocre, but that's compared to a monster like Sakuragi.

In fact, the fact that the 189-cm-tall Ah Shen can play as a shooting guard shows that he has the speed and flexibility of a guard, not to mention his shooting touch.

In the entire SD, the only one who can be compared with A Shen in terms of shooting feel is Mitsui, and his stability is even better.

Of course, he is not as comprehensive as Mitsui, nor does he have the Flame Man buff.

“There was never a chance to run away!”

While returning to defense, Shen couldn't help but glance at Mitsui.

In the first few minutes, he kept trying to move around, but no chance appeared.

Because no matter how he moved, he could never get rid of Mitsui.

Mitsui is too clingy!

In terms of positioning, A Shen during this period was naturally no match for Mitsui.

There's no way. A few months ago, Ashen was still playing center.

He still needs time to settle down at the shooting guard position.

Just as Ryonan was preparing to return to defense, Murasakibara immediately signaled to Akagi with his eyes.

Follow my eyes!

Akagi understood what he meant and went to the baseline to serve quickly.

"Quick attack!"

Following Mumu's order, the Xiangbei players rushed to the front court happily.

"not good!"

The expressions of the Ryonan players changed and they hurried back to defense as quickly as possible.

As soon as Murasakibara crossed half court with the ball, Sendoh immediately came up to him.

Before Sendoh came up, Murasakibara swung his right hand and made a ground pass.

Outside the 45° three-point line on the right, Mitsui just appeared there.

Mitsui felt that this pass was very comfortable, with the angle and strength being just right.

He doesn't even need to make adjustments before he can shoot.

Before Ah Shen could pounce on him, Mitsui raised his knife and made a three-pointer.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

Mitsui, who has not experienced a second injury, has much better dynamic talents than in the plot years, especially his explosive power.

This is also the main reason why Ah Shen didn’t catch up!

Beep~
Seeing that the situation was very unfavorable for Ryonan, Coach Takeo had to request a timeout.

Although he knew that Ryonan was no match for Shohoku, like Coach Takeri, he also did not want Ryonan to lose too badly.

For Ryonan, a small loss is a victory, and they must not lose by 58 points like Buri did.

When the timeout was over, Ryonan's lineup changed, with Ikegami replacing Inoue Toyosu.

In this way, Ryonan can effectively limit Shohoku's fast break.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, Ikegami's height and tonnage are not as good as Inoue Toyosu.

Although Ikegami is the No. 103 muscular man in SD in Takehiko Inoue's mind, his opponent is Naito who weighs 20 kg, which is at least kg less.

Ikegami is okay against Amu, but he will be at a great disadvantage against Naito.

Coach Tanaoka obviously knew this, but he couldn't do anything without the right people. How could he find a power forward who could handle Naito?

Let alone Ryonan, looking at the entire SD, I'm afraid there won't be any qualified candidates.

However, this does not mean that Coach Tanaoka has no solution.

With Ikegami on the court, Ryonan's mobility has clearly improved.

In this attack, Ikegami successfully got rid of Naito with the help of his teammates.

Sendoh immediately chose to pass the ball, and Ikegami hit a mid-range shot from the corner.

Offense and defense transition!

Soon, Murasakibara dribbled the ball across half court.

The Xiangbei players started running quickly, and the whole team's cooperation was much more tacit than last year.

Unexpectedly, Uozumi did not follow Akagi away, but continued to sit under the basket, staring closely at Naito.

The one who left with Akagi was Ikegami, which was obviously a strategy of Coach Tanaka.

This is a good idea!

Even if the fledgling Naito has a chance to force a shot against Yuzumi, Yuzumi is not Inoue Toyoshi, and Naito's efficiency in force attacks under the basket will definitely not be as good as before.

No matter what, Yuzumi is a top blue-collar center.

You can despise Yuzumi's rough offense, but you can't doubt his defensive level.

Without hesitation, Murasakibara passed the ball to Naito who was in an open position, and the latter chose to shoot without hesitation.

bang~
Unfortunately, the shot was not powerful enough and the basketball hit the front of the basket.

On the Ryonan bench, coach Takeo was visibly relieved when he saw Naito miss the shot.

Although Naito can make open mid-range shots, his efficiency is not very high and is far less efficient than attacking the basket.

However, the offensive rebound bounced a little far.

Thanks to Max's reaction, Murasakibara grabbed the rebound before Sendoh.

He passed it to Naito again!

This time, Naito finally seized the opportunity and the basketball went into the net.

As the game progressed, Murasakibara began to give more ball possession to Akagi.

Compared to Naito's strong attack on Yuzumi, Akagi's attack on Ikegami seemed much easier.

With Murasakibara constantly feeding the ball, Akagi was able to score consecutively in the low post.

It’s not that Ikegami didn’t work hard, it’s just that his height and weight held him back.

"Nervous!"

Coach Takeo sighed softly and looked at the twin towers of Shohoku's interior with envy.

"Perhaps by next year, they will have the hope of becoming the strongest twin towers that are no less powerful than the Watanabe brothers!"

Last year, the Watanabe brothers were undoubtedly the strongest twin towers in the country.

Coach Takeo couldn’t imagine how strong Shohoku would be next year.

"We must recruit an excellent power forward next year. Unfortunately, Sakuragi Hanamichi from Wako Junior High School has already been reserved."

At this moment, Coach Tanaoka was very envious of Coach Anzai.

Not only Sakuragi, he also knew that Rukawa Kaede from Toigaoka Junior High School would also join Shohoku next year.

With the addition of these two players, Xiangbei can not only improve the lineup defects and form a real five-tiger lineup, but also further enhance the depth of the lineup.

By that time, Xiangbei will be truly invincible.

Coach Tanaoka couldn't imagine what kind of team could defeat such a Shohoku team.

Unless... Murasakibara transfers to another school, but is that possible?
If Murasakibara transfers to another school, I'm afraid all the high schools in the island country will want to recruit him at all costs.

After all, Murasakibara is the first player in history to be ranked as the top high school student in the country as a freshman, not to mention that he is still making continuous progress.

As long as Murasakibara is there, even a weak team can instantly become a national powerhouse.

"I'm afraid only injuries will give us a chance to beat this Xiangbei team!"

Coach Tiangang shook his head, but unless the one who was injured was a man, it would still be difficult to defeat.

However, is this possible?
It is possible that other players of Shohoku will get injured, except Murasakibara.

Max's resistance to injuries is no joke!
