Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 257: Extreme dodge and slam dunk!

As Rukawa Kaede made a difficult layup, the entire audience was excited.

This goal was like a shot of adrenaline injected into the hearts of the Fuqiu players. At this moment, they seemed to have found confidence, and their eyes were shining with desire for victory.

On the other hand, the players of Heguang had been leading for most of the game and victory was within their reach.

Unfortunately, in the last three minutes, led by Rukawa Kaede, Toigaoka Junior High School showed amazing resilience and successfully completed the reversal.

Not only did they make up for the 20-point gap, they also overtook the opponent at the critical moment.

Anxiety and uneasiness began to show on the faces of the Wako players, and their morale was obviously affected.

"Sakuragi, Oda, Rukawa has obviously noticed that you two are not getting along, so he keeps double-teaming Sakuragi. If you keep going like this, we will definitely lose!"

Mito Yohei obviously saw the problem, and his words were like a wake-up call, making Sakuragi and Oda realize the seriousness of the problem.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"For the team's victory, I am willing to put aside my prejudices!"

Oda gritted his teeth and broke the silence first, with a hint of determination in his voice.

"Okay, at least we can't lose to Rukawa!"

Sakuragi also responded loudly, saying that he had already lost once and didn't want to lose again this time.

Well, his hair is already a buzz cut, if he shaves it any further he will become bald, and he doesn't want to become a bald guy like Naito.

Sakuragi took the initiative to stretch out his right hand. Oda hesitated slightly, then shook hands tightly with Sakuragi.

At this moment, the estrangement and conflicts between them seemed to disappear into thin air.

Looking at this scene, Mito Yohei was visibly relieved.

As long as Sakuragi and Oda put aside their prejudices, Wako Junior High School will have a chance of winning.

Offense and defense transition!

Soon, Mito Yohei dribbled the ball across half court again and passed it to Sakuragi.

As expected, as soon as Sakuragi received the basketball, Rukawa decisively abandoned Oda and quickly rushed towards Sakuragi, preparing to double-team Sakuragi again with his teammates.

Sakuragi raised his hands and immediately passed the ball to Oda.

Oda lived up to Sakuragi's expectations, cutting into the basket and scoring a layup, successfully tying the score.

“It’s getting more and more interesting!”

Rukawa wiped the sweat off his face, his face still expressionless.

In SD, his mental strength has always been among the best.

Fuqiu Junior High School's offense started quickly. Rukawa used his best crossover step to easily break through Oda, and then made a quick stop and jump shot.

shuh~
Fuqiu Middle School took the lead again.

Under the guidance of Muguruma, Rukawa's crossover step and pull-up jump shot have reached the level of perfection.

Of course, all this is inseparable from his efforts.

The game continued. As Sakuragi and Oda put aside their prejudices against each other, Rukawa stopped double-teaming Sakuragi and was taken away by Oda.

Yohei Mito controlled the tempo of the game, and his passes always found Sakuragi accurately.

Under Yohei's organization, Sakuragi was like a fish in water and scored consecutively under the basket.

However, Rukawa has always maintained high singles efficiency.

At this point in the game, every point becomes extremely precious.

Whenever one side establishes a leading advantage, the other side will always respond quickly to even the score or even overtake it.

This tug-of-war made the audience's heart beat faster. They stared at the field intently, afraid of missing any decisive moment.

For a while, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, showing a trend of mutual explosion.

With one minute left in the game, Rukawa scored another difficult goal despite the defense of Sakuragi and Oda, and once again took the lead.

"Damn it, it was just a little bit close!"

Sakuragi stomped his feet, and the basketball almost brushed past the tip of his middle finger.

"Sakuragi, let's fight back!"

Yohei Mito glanced at the time and obviously increased the pace of his attack.

As long as they grasp the timing well, they will have at least one more attack opportunity besides this one.

Soon, Sakuragi received another pass from Mito Yohei.

Sakuragi faced center Fuqiu with his back to the basket, and while knocking him back, he turned around and rushed to the basket.

Rukawa had to rush towards Sakuragi, who quickly passed the ball to Oda who cut into the basket from the other side.

Just then, Ichiro Mizusawa appeared behind Oda and blocked the shot.

Sakuragi subconsciously jumped up and tried to grab the basketball, but not only did he fail to catch it, he was hit in the face by the basketball instead.

slap~
Because Sakuragi jumped very high and was very close to the basket.

After hitting Sakuragi, the basketball bounced again and flew towards the basket by coincidence.

shuh~
The basketball hits the net!

"There it is, the legendary goal scored with his face!"

In the judges' seat, Muguro couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, wherever Sakuragi is, there are jokes!
"No way, this is possible?"

Ichiro Mizusawa was completely dumbfounded and couldn't accept it.

"This move is not without merit!"

Rukawa looked at Sakuragi in surprise, then stroked his chin in thought.

This was the second time he had seen this scene!
Rukawa Kaede has a clear mind and begins to think about whether this move can enrich his arsenal.

"Hey, it hurts!"

Sakuragi squatted on the ground, covering his face in pain.

A clear basketball mark appeared on his face.

There is one bad thing about scoring a goal with your face, it kind of ruins your look!
"Hahaha!"

Seeing such a funny scene, the audience was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help laughing.

For a moment, the gymnasium was filled with laughter.

Among them, the stupid trio is the most powerful.

"Well done, Sakuragi!"

Oda patted Sakuragi's shoulder, but his shoulder was shaking.

He is a professional and usually doesn't laugh unless he can't help it!

At this time, Mito Yohei's voice rang out: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get back on defense!"

Seeing that Fugaoka Junior High School was about to serve, Sakuragi and Oda hurried back to defense, fearing that Fugaoka Junior High School would launch a fast break.

At this time, there are nearly 50 seconds left until the end of the game!
Rukawa looked at the time and decided to score quickly in this round to give the team another chance to attack.

So he quickly carried the ball across half court.

This time, Sakuragi took the initiative to switch defense with Oda.

However, it was of no use. Sakuragi still couldn't defend against Rukawa. The latter's fake move shook his center of gravity and he broke through easily.

Oda and another Wako player had to rush towards Rukawa together.

Rukawa Kaede did not stick to the ball and quickly passed it to Ichiro Mizusawa.

At the critical moment, Yohei Mito immediately rushed over and flew to steal the ball.

slap~
The basketball bounced on the floor and quickly flew out of the sideline.

Suddenly, Sakuragi rushed over regardless of the danger.

Coach Gaotou looked panicked because the basketball happened to be flying towards him.

Gaotou: Don’t come over here!
In mid-air, Sakuragi successfully grabbed the basketball, turned around and passed the ball to Yohei.

Seeing that Sakuragi was about to hit the table in the judges' booth, in order to prevent Sakuragi from getting hurt, Murasakibara used his extreme reaction to drag Sakuragi slightly.

Sakuragi successfully jumped over the stainless steel table and then knocked the tall coach to the ground with his chair.

bang~
Coach Gaotou cried out in pain as Sakuragi used him as a cushion.

Sakuragi jumped up from the ground as if nothing had happened and joined the fast break. The audience first watched this scene in surprise, and then cheered and applauded for Sakuragi.

"This boy!"

Murasaki shook his head and then pulled Coach Takato up from the ground.

I have to say, Coach Gaotou is really serious.

"Damn it, what does this guy take me for?!"

Being under great pressure from Sakuragi made Coach Takato feel very unhappy.

However, he also admired Sakuragi's fighting spirit.

Their Hainan High School needs such talents!

After Sakuragi flew to save the ball, the basketball was passed to Mito Yohei.

Yohei Mito immediately launched a quick attack, but was entangled by Ichiro Mizusawa.

On the other side, Rukawa Kaede also entangled Oda.

As Sakuragi rushed onto the court, Mito Yohei saw his opportunity and immediately passed the ball.

For a moment, there was no one within two meters of Sakuragi.

Without hesitation, Sakuragi jumped up and shot.

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

After scoring this goal, Heguang Junior High School regained the lead by 1 point.

At this time, there are 35 seconds left until the end of the game!
The Wako players surrounded Sakuragi.

"yeah!"

Sakuragi was inexplicably excited, as if he had reached the peak of his life.

"Stupid, the game isn't over yet!"

Mito Yohei remained calm and immediately spoke up.

At this time, Rukawa Kaede rushed to the front court quietly.

"Sly fox!"

Sakuragi was startled and rushed forward quickly.

Even though the game was about to end, Sakuragi's physical strength had not yet reached its lowest point, and even his speed was not affected much.

In the blink of an eye, Sakuragi had entangled Rukawa.

The Fuqiu players had to give up the idea of ​​passing the ball to Rukawa.

This time, it was fortunate that Mito Yohei reminded him in time, otherwise he would have been ambushed by Rukawa Kaede.

At Rukawa Kaede's signal, Fuqiu Junior High School clearly slowed down its pace.

"Defend this ball!"

Under Sakuragi's leadership, the morale of the Wako players was boosted and they began to defend more actively.

Among them, point guard Toyama was almost intercepted by Mito Yohei and had to pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede in advance.

"Ryukawa Kaede, come on!"

Sakuragi was ready, and at the same time, the other Wako players were also ready to provide backup defense at any time.

However, Rukawa did not attack immediately, but continued to delay time calmly.

When there were 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Rukawa finally moved.

He first dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, and Sakuragi's center of gravity was involuntarily affected.

The next moment, Rukawa changed direction, passed by Sakuragi, and rushed towards the basket quickly.

The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate.

Without hesitation, Oda and another player immediately rushed towards Rukawa.

Unexpectedly, Rukawa chose to pass the ball.

While passing the ball to Ichiro Mizusawa, Rukawa moved and rushed towards Ichiro Mizusawa.

The next moment, Ichiro Mizusawa passed the ball back to Rukawa Kaede by hand.

With the help of Ichiro Mizusawa's body shield, Rukawa Kaede temporarily got rid of Oda and others and successfully stepped into the paint area.

"Victory, I must win!"

Rukawa Kaede's heart is filled with desire for victory.

With the blessing of faith, Rukawa Kaede accelerated again.

Just at this moment, Sakuragi appeared under the basket in time.

The moment he stepped into the paint area, Rukawa jumped up.

"Rukawa Kaede!"

Sakura yelled and also jumped up.

With his amazing jumping speed, Sakuragi quickly reached the same height as Rukawa and shot the basketball with his right hand.

In mid-air, Rukawa made a pull-up move, dodging Sakuragi's block while slamming the ball into the basket.

Bang~
Rukawa pulls up and dunks on Sakuragi!
As the sound of the basket hitting the ground rang out, the entire stadium fell into silence for a moment.

Most of the audience looked at this scene in disbelief.

The next moment, the stadium was filled with deafening cheers and applause.

While Mu Mu clapped, he said to the shocked Coach Takato: "It was a wonderful goal, wasn't it?"

This time, Coach Gaotou rarely said anything in rebuttal.

When he saw this ball, he thought of Murasakibara.

Last year, Murasakibara scored such a goal in the game.

From this, we can imagine how powerful Rukawa Kaede is.

"Even though that guy is annoying, I still have to try again!"

Although the probability of recruiting Rukawa is not high, Coach Takato is still willing to put aside his inner prejudices, especially since Rukawa can achieve seamless connection with Amu.

When Coach Takato thought of the golden duo of Amu and Rukawa, he felt like drooling.

Fragrant, so fragrant!
As the goal was scored, the players of Heguang were obviously affected, and their eyes began to be filled with confusion and fatigue.

"Will I have a chance to defeat Rukawa Kaede in the future?"

At this time, Oda was obviously hit hard and wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

At this moment, he felt the crushing power of his talent.

Whether it is Sakuragi or Rukawa, their talents are obviously superior to his.

Seeing this, Mito Yohei immediately shouted: "There are still 5 seconds left, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Encouraged by Mito Yohei, the players of Wako cheered up.

Since Wako Middle School had used up their timeouts, they had to serve the ball from the baseline.

Oda came to the baseline to serve, but he looked a little absent-minded and subconsciously passed the ball to Mito Yohei.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed up and completed a steal under the horrified gaze of the Heguang players.

He is none other than Rukawa Kaede!
It turned out that after completing that astonishing pull-up slam dunk, Rukawa deliberately slowed down his pace, like a poisonous snake, quietly waiting for his opportunity.

When Oda passed the ball, Rukawa immediately showed his fangs and completed this key steal.

chances are for people who are prepared!

Sakuragi reacted immediately and rushed towards Rukawa.

However, Rukawa did not rush to the basket with the ball. Instead, he carried Sakuragi sideways, preparing to delay time.

At this time, the audience began to count down.

"4, 3..."

It was also at this time that Mito Yohei immediately rushed up and double-teamed Sakuragi.

Being double-teamed by two people, Rukawa forced himself to jump up. In order to avoid being blocked, he leaned his body back and threw the ball.

While the basketball was still flying in the air, the long whistle symbolizing the end of the game finally sounded.

shuh~
The basketball went through the basket again!
