Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 354 The Legendary Data!

"What outrageous data!"

After the match, Fujima looked at the data sheet in his hand, his hands trembling slightly, and an incredulous look on his face.

"What data?"

Moroboshi Dai leaned closer curiously.

"Holy crap, is this...is this even human?"

As Dai Moroboshi exclaimed in surprise, it attracted the attention of the other players.

Uozumi asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

"Kogure's data!"

Moroboshi Dai's voice still had a noticeable tremor.

Unable to contain their curiosity, everyone surrounded Fujima, looking at the data panel representing Kogure.

For a moment, exclamations of "Holy crap!" were heard everywhere.

As for why it's "Holy crap" instead of "Baka," you'll have to ask Kogure.

Kogure's performance in this match was simply unbelievable.

61 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds!

Even in American high school basketball, such statistics are extremely rare.

In addition, Kogure's performance on the defensive end was equally impressive, contributing 6 steals and 5 blocks.

Among them, Ronnie Fields and Arnold Johnson were his main nemesis, and he even blocked Garnett's high-post jump shot.

Standing at just over 1.9 meters tall, blocking Garnett's shot at 210 centimeters is incredibly difficult.

After all, Garnett not only has a tall stature and long wingspan, but his jumping ability is also among the top tier.

60+10+10+55 data!

This is undoubtedly some truly explosive data!
Whether on offense or defense, Kogure's performance can be described as impeccable; he didn't even make a single mistake throughout the entire game.

Such data is not only reflected in numbers, but also serves as the best proof of Kogure's strength.

Soon, Kogure was surrounded by his teammates, and then he enjoyed the treatment of being a 'flying man'.

They knew very well that their victory in this friendly match was mainly due to Kogure's outstanding performance, especially in the last few minutes of the game, where he maintained high efficiency and consistency.

Soon after, Farragut Academy learned of Kogure's match data.

These data spread rapidly among them like an undeniable storm.

Ronnie Fields and Garnett exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a sense of helplessness.

They knew Kogure had achieved excellent results, but they never expected it to be so explosive.

Kogure's performance has far exceeded their expectations, putting them under unprecedented pressure.

However, these two were not ordinary players after all. Instead of being discouraged, they were further motivated by their competitive spirit.

Coach Stephen was even more amazed and couldn't wait to recruit Kogure to play for Farragut Academy.

In Farragut's history, poaching players from rival teams has been a common occurrence.

In fact, all American high schools are exactly the same.

However, Coach Stephen did not take immediate action.

Coach Stephen looked at his two favorite players and said, "Ronnie, Kevin, you two must spend more time with Kiminobu Kogure during this period!"

"Okay, that's what I meant!"

Without much thought, Ronnie Fields immediately agreed.

Even if Coach Stephen didn't say it, he would have done it.

With such strong rivals of the same age, how will I find them again in the future?

Unlike Ronnie Fields, Garnett felt a chill run down his spine; he vaguely guessed what his coach was thinking.

If Kogure joins Farragut Academy, the academy's strength will definitely increase dramatically.

However, this is not entirely a good thing for Garnett.

This means his status in the team will inevitably decline, changing from second-in-command to third-in-command.

Meanwhile, most scouts will likely focus their attention on Kogure and Ronnie Fields.

For a moment, Garnett panicked.

His high school grades weren't ideal, and he was planning to enter the NBA draft after this season.

If Kogure joins the team during this period, the already uncertain draft prospects will be further exacerbated.

High school talent shows have always been highly volatile.

To improve their chances of making a name for themselves in the talent show, they must increase their exposure.

The third-best player on a high school team is easily underestimated.

Garnett's expression was uncertain; he wanted to refuse, but dared not openly contradict Coach Stephen.

Coach Stephen is a shrewd person, and he naturally noticed Garnett's hesitation.

"Ronnie, I'm counting on you!"

Coach Stephen did not make things difficult for Garnett; instead, he entrusted the important task to Ronnie Fields.

After Coach Stephen left, Garnett stopped Ronnie Fields and shared his guess.

Ronnie Fields initially showed surprise, then waved his hand, unlike Garnett who seemed anxious.

He's a bit too ambitious, thinking that Kogure is there to assist him!
Garnett couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ronnie Fields' naive idea.

How dare you think you'd be willing to help Kogure!

Do you think you're some kind of stupid, bony-faced guy?
No, you are Ricky Davis!
It's worth noting that the combined stats of the two of them are barely on par with Kogure's.

This demonstrates just how powerful Kogure is.

In high school basketball, this was the first time Garnett had ever seen such a strong player.

It's not only strong, but also very well-rounded, and you can't find any flaws in it.

However, Garnett didn't say much.

At this point, the two coaches shook hands and made peace.

Through this match, we got to know each other a little better.

After the team disbanded, the players left the stadium one after another.

Kogure did not leave, because Ronnie Fields and Garnett also did not leave.

He coveted their titles and naturally wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.

Akagi, being a close friend, naturally stayed behind.

Mitsui gritted his teeth and stayed as well.

In addition, there's Sawakita!
Following his coach's instructions, Ronnie Fields initiated a conversation with Kogure.

Last night, Kogure taught him "Kogure Kiminobu's extraordinary skills," which led to the two getting along very well.

Ronnie Fields, wanting to turn the tide, asked, "Dude, we didn't get enough fun just now, want to play another round?"

"There are exactly six people, so let's play a game of three against three."

Kogure was eager for another round, so he naturally agreed.

Not long after, the sound of basketballs hitting the floor echoed through the stadium again.

……

Time flew by unnoticed, and three days passed quickly.

Kogure had a very fulfilling three days, spending most of his time in the gym except for sleeping.

Kogure is stronger than them and yet he works so hard, so what reason do they have not to work hard?

Inspired by Kogure, Ronnie Fields, Garnett, and others followed suit and became cabbages.

Both coaches were naturally pleased with this situation, including the sullen Coach Domoto.

Over the course of three days, the two teams played one match each day, with each team winning and losing.

After their initial failure, Farragut Academy displayed remarkable fighting spirit.

However, they remained at a loss as to how to limit Kogure's performance. They tried various methods in an attempt to curb Kogure's effectiveness.

In addition to man-to-man defense, they also tried zone defense, multiple-person double-teaming, and endless backup defense.

However, no matter what defensive strategies they adopted, Kogure always managed to break through Farragut Academy's defenses using various methods.

This did not make Coach Stephen feel disappointed; on the contrary, it made him even more eager.

Farragut Academy needs this kind of talent!

In these three games, Kogure continued to perform exceptionally well, scoring a whopping 73 points in one of them.

The main problem in that match was that his teammates were having a terrible shooting night, so Kogure had to take on the offensive burden.

With the conclusion of the third match, Kogure's tireless efforts finally paid off.

Wolf King (Crippled): Slightly improves awareness and speed in help defense. After a successful help defense, pounding his chest and roaring can effectively boost team morale.

This is the first time Kogure has received a defensive title.

The title of Wolf King is certainly fitting, and his ability to provide support defense has been further enhanced.

Not only that, it can also effectively boost team morale.

As for Ronnie Fields' nickname "Rocket," it has already reached 70%.

I believe I'll be able to get it smoothly in another day or two.

After the team disbanded, Kogure did not sweat it out in the gym as usual.

He loves the challenges and passion that basketball brings, and enjoys the thrill of outsmarting and outmaneuvering opponents on the court.

However, the long hours of grueling training sometimes left him feeling exhausted and even caused psychological problems.

Physical fatigue can be relieved through rest, but mental exhaustion requires gradual adjustment.

Therefore, Kogure occasionally takes a break.

At Sendoh's suggestion, Kogure didn't stay in the dormitory any longer and accompanied Sendoh fishing by the river.

Farragut College is located in the suburbs, and there are naturally many rivers nearby.

Perhaps because Asian carp haven't yet become a plague in America, the results of the Path of Immortals haven't been as good as expected these past few days.

Even so, the catch will far exceed that of usual.

Therefore, Uozumi experiences both pain and pleasure.

Many players couldn't get used to American food, which led to Uozumi becoming the team's head chef.

Just as Kogure was fishing with Sendoh, Sawakita suddenly came looking for them, looking indignant.

Besides Sawakita, there are also Kawada and Moroboshi Dai.

It's unclear what happened, but the three of them didn't look too good!
Kogure asked curiously, "Why do you all look so pale? Did Brother Ni rob you?"

As we all know, Ni Ge from America loves to buy things for free.

"It's worse than robbery!"

Zebei kicked a pebble into the river, his chest heaving, and he even subconsciously touched his buttocks.

"Could it be... that you were sexually assaulted?!"

Seeing Sawakita's actions, Sendoh seemed to remember something and couldn't help but show a look of horror.

American guy Ni not only likes free shopping, but also has a thing for male beauty.

Diddy has a lot to say about this!
As for gOat, it's hard to say; he might be the one passively receiving the consequences.

This is one of the reasons why he is called gOat instead of goat.

Of course, the main reason is that he is not qualified.

In Kogure's opinion, although gOat has many honors, they are largely unreliable. His true strength is not only insufficient to be among the top ten greatest players in history, but he might not even be in the top thirty.

To put it bluntly, even though they were both in their prime, Pippen was far superior to him.

It was Pippen's first time leading a team, and at least they made it to the semifinals.

gOat's first time leading a team resulted in them failing to even make the playoffs.

The most bizarre thing is that the league awarded the Rookie of the Year award to GOat, instead of Carmelo Anthony, who performed better.

Don't say that Carmelo Anthony is associated with gangs, because many NBA players have ties to gangs.

The two are almost identical in terms of data.

In terms of team performance, Carmelo Anthony led the Denver Nuggets into the playoffs.

"Pah! How could we possibly be sexually assaulted!"

Zebei glared at Xiandao, his face growing even uglier.

"Then why are you touching my butt?"

Beside him, Moroboshi Daisuke bluntly said, "He's being fooled... boohoo."

Before Moroboshi Dai could finish speaking, Sawakita covered his mouth.

Kogure and Sendoh exchanged a glance. Although Moroboshi Dai hadn't finished speaking, they had a general idea of ​​what he meant.

"Ze Bei was faked out?"

"Yeah, that was a really bad fall!"

Kawada crossed his arms, seemingly recalling something happy, and couldn't help but smile.

Zebei instinctively tried to stop Okawada, but Okawada glared at him, causing him to stop in his tracks.

At Sannoh Industrial, Sawakita was constantly bullied by Kawada, to the point that he almost developed psychological trauma.

Zebei had considered resisting, but he simply lacked the strength to do so.

Kawada was bigger than him and had also systematically studied judo.

Sawakita saw absolutely no hope of defeating Kawada!
Because of this, he even considered transferring schools.

However, his idea differed from Matsumoto Minoru's; he planned to transfer to a school in the United States.

At this moment, Kogure looked at Kawada and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

If Kawada is Sawakita's nemesis, then Kogure is Kawada's nemesis.

It's truly a case of one thing subduing another!
Even though Kawada had systematically studied judo, he was not confident of defeating Kogure.

"Zebei lost to an old man at the basketball court!"

Kawada succinctly explained the reason.

grandfather!
Kogure and Sendoh both showed expressions of surprise.

Perhaps feeling humiliated, Zebei shouted arrogantly, "You bastards, you lost too!"

Moroboshi Dai crossed his arms and argued, "At least we weren't knocked to the ground!"

Kawada straightened his back and said, "I almost won!"

Zebei was speechless, because what they said was true!

"You didn't run into Jerry Sloan or Bob Love, did you?"

Jerry Sloan and Bob Love are both Bulls legends, and both have had their jerseys retired.

The former excels at defense, the latter at offense!
Jerry Sloan was also the coach of the Utah Jazz, under whose leadership the team had consistently been among the top teams in the league for many years.

The NBA season isn't over yet, so Jerry Sloan is unlikely to be playing in Chicago.

Therefore, it is more likely to be Bob Love, nicknamed 'Cotton Bean'.

As for other retired Bulls players, they probably wouldn't have that ability at this age.

Moroboshi Dai scratched the back of his head and said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be Bob Love. I remember someone calling him Knight?"

At this moment, Zebei stomped his foot hard and said indignantly, "Damn it, I'm going to get my revenge!"

Losing to the old man made him feel very embarrassed.

Zebei decided to challenge the old man on the court again and headed back the way he came.

After Sawakita left, Kogure followed.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well join in the fun.

Besides, the opponent was able to defeat Zebei at such an advanced age, so he must have been very strong when he was young. There might be some unexpected gains.
