Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 336 The Art of Killing with Eyes
After this shot was scored, Ryonan's momentum reached its peak.

However, this also successfully woke up Zebei.

Given the choice between winning and showing off, he would undoubtedly choose to win.

Soon, Zebei deliberately stood in the designated shooting position and received the basketball again.

Ikegami maintained his defensive strategy of focusing on preventing shots but not drives, while the other Ryonan players were ready to double-team him at any time.

"Go ahead and vote if you dare!"

As Ikegami pressed himself against her, he didn't hold back his words, provoking Sawakita once again.

Unexpectedly, Sawakita didn't shoot, but easily broke past Ikegami with a dunk.

Before the Ryonan players could cover, Sawakita pulled up for a jump shot and easily made the basket.

Call ~
Zebei couldn't help but smile; he had finally scored a goal.

From the stands, Miyagi couldn't help but exclaim, "That's a beautiful shooting form, much better than someone else's!"

As he finished speaking, Miyagi glanced at Mitsui.

From their first meeting, these two guys never got along and couldn't stand each other.

It's no wonder that the two had a physical altercation in the original story, resulting in injuries and hospitalization.

Mitsui glared at Miyagi with dissatisfaction and immediately retorted, "Hmph, he's definitely much better than someone who can only shoot in the 38-style!"

As a typical small player, Miyagi's shooting style clearly leans towards a woman's shooting form.

As if a monkey had its tail stepped on, Miyagi shouted angrily, "You bastard, who are you calling a '38-style' shooter?"

"You admitted it yourself!"

For a moment, neither of them would admit defeat, and they glared at each other.

Since they couldn't fight, the two could only compete by staring at each other.

The rules are simple: whoever blinks first loses.

Beside them, Kogure and Akagi watched the two of them and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Problem children, they are terrifying!
The question is, will more troubled children move into Shohoku next year?

Before long, the two had a winner.

"Hahaha, I won!"

Mitsui stood with his hands on his hips, head held high, laughing heartily, full of smugness.

"Damn it, I lost again!"

Miyagi angrily pounded the chair.

He had competed against Mitsui many times, and he always lost.

Suddenly, Kogure said, "Miyagi, Akagi is the real expert in this area!"

"I?"

Akagi pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered.

How could he not know that he is an expert in this field?

Akagi couldn't help but look at Kogure, hesitating to speak.

Kogure nudged Akagi with his elbow, grinning mischievously: "Akagi, the eye-killing technique!"

As is widely known, Akagi taught Sakuragi the art of killing with his eyes, making him the originator of this technique.

"Akagi-senpai, you have to teach me!"

Without verifying anything, Miyagi immediately clung to Akagi's leg.

He has suffered under Mitsui for too long!

He had to beat Mitsui at least once, no matter what.

"All right!"

Akagi remained silent for a long time before finally agreeing reluctantly.

"Great!"

Miyagi cheered with joy, then glanced at Mitsui with a smug look.

Mitsui kept his head down and didn't respond, but his shoulders trembled from time to time, as if he was trying to hold back something.

Having been teammates with Akagi for almost two years, how could he not know Akagi's background?

While the Shohoku players were chatting and joking, the game on the court became increasingly intense.

The audience's eyes followed the players on the field, and shouts and applause rose and fell as they cheered for their respective teams.

After Sawakita recovered, Sannoh Industrial began to display amazing teamwork, and their offense became increasingly fluid. Although Ryonan was also giving it their all, Sannoh Industrial's offensive was simply too fierce.

The score gap between the two sides began to narrow at a visible rate.

In the 13th minute of the first half, Sawakita scored again, and Sannoh Kogyo successfully equalized the score.

In an instant, the morale of Sannoh Industrial soared, and Sannoh's supporters were ecstatic.

Beep~
It was at this moment that Coach Taoka decisively called a timeout.

Surprisingly, the Ryonan players were not disappointed by this.

Because Coach Taoka had given them a heads-up beforehand.

Soon, the Ryonan players formed a circle, surrounding Coach Taoka in the middle.

Coach Taoka quickly devised tactics and reiterated the importance of teamwork.

As the timeout was about to end, Coach Taoka waved to Fukuda.

Fukuda excitedly stood up from the bench; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

For Fukuda, who loves the spotlight, he was not intimidated at all; on the contrary, he was extremely excited.

"Fukuda, the rest is up to you!"

Fukuda immediately shouted, "Yes, Coach!"

The sound was so loud that even the Sannoh players on the opposite side could faintly hear it.

Coach Domoto couldn't help but look over at the Sannoh bench.

Upon discovering it was Fukuda, Coach Domoto frowned slightly.

It's possible that Fukuda is just too ugly!
"Kichijou Fukuda, 186 cm tall, 78 kg, forward, strong scoring ability, with excellent backdoor cutting and attacking skills, but his mid-range and long-range shooting and defense are quite poor!"

Coach Domoto quickly recalled Fukuda's information.

As a coach, you must be familiar with the opposing players' information; this is a basic professional obligation.

"Matsushita, Fukuda is in your hands now. You must keep an eye on his air cuts!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Matsushita Satoshi appeared very confident, believing that Fukuda was no match for him.

He had faced off against Fukuda in the national competition. At that time, Fukuda's skills were still immature and he had not achieved much.

In just two months, he didn't think Fukuda would make much progress.

After the timeout, both teams returned to the field.

The Ryonan lineup has changed to Uozumi, Inoue Toyokori, Fukuda, Ajin, and Sendoh.

As for Matsumoto Minoru and Ikegami, they were resting on the bench.

In Coach Taoka's plan, these two are the key to determining the outcome of the match.

After the game restarted, Ryonan team had possession of the ball.

Ryonan slowed down their pace, and after bringing the ball across half-court, Sendoh began to organize the team's attack.

Soon, Fukuda stepped forward to screen for Sendoh.

Sendoh used this opportunity to break through, and Fukatsu quickly bypassed Fukuda and caught up with him.

As usual, Fukuda immediately made a move to drive to the basket.

In the blink of an eye, Fukatsu caught up.

Before Fukatsu could come up, Sendoh chose to pass the ball first.

Outside the paint area, Fukuda catches the ball with both hands.

At that moment, Matsushita Satoshi did not stop and instinctively rushed into the basket.

He believed that Fukuda would attack the basket as usual.

Surprisingly, Fukuda made a shooting motion.

His right arm wrapped around his torso to the left, his center of gravity shifted to the left, and the ball was thrown towards the basket at a 45-degree angle, with the shooting point above his left eye.

In short, his posture was ugly, like a flick shot.

Matsushita Satoshi was taken aback, but it was too late.

shuh~
The basketball swished through the net, creating a splash.

Hua Hua Hua~
Hearing the applause and cheers around him, Fukuda raised his right hand high, his eyes brimming with tears of emotion.

For the past two months, he has been working hard to improve his skills, including mid-range and long-range shooting, and now he is finally reaping the rewards.
