Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 8 Pull-Up Jump Shot
Murasakibara passed the ball to the mustache-faced store manager, who started quickly and tried to break through.

Kogoro Matsushita tried his best to stop it. Although the mustache store manager was no longer young and his physical fitness had dropped from its peak, his skills and experience were still there.

The mustached store manager deftly changed the rhythm of his dribbling. His movements were skillful and smooth, looking for fleeting opportunities.

When the center of gravity of Matsushita Kogoro changed, the mustache-wearing store manager suddenly kicked with his right foot, and his body shot out like an arrow. In a few seconds, he pushed Matsushita Kogoro away and left him behind.

Kogoro Matsushita turned around and chased back. He was very fast and caught up in the blink of an eye. He took the initiative to physically confront the mustache store manager, trying to disrupt his rhythm.

snort~
Suddenly, a harsh friction sound was heard.

The mustached store manager suddenly stopped, and by the time Matsushita Kogoro realized something was wrong, the two sides had already opened up two distances between them.

Without hesitation, the mustached store manager jumped up, flicked his wrist lightly, and a graceful arc crossed the sky and went straight to the basket.

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

The mustache shop manager showed a satisfied smile and shouted to Mu Mu: "How about it, my pull-up jump shot is not bad, isn't it? I won the scoring title of the county tournament with this trick!"

Of course, he didn't say anything else.

In the game against Hainan High School that year, he missed the last shot using a pull-up jump shot.

After losing to Hainan High School, he learned from his mistakes and continued to practice this skill, and was eventually admitted to a famous university.

Mu Mu ignored the mustache manager for the time being because his mind was immersed in a reminder.

[A learnable skill has been detected - pull-up jump shot, learning progress is 3%! ]

Mu Mu was delighted, he had indeed chosen the right person.

I wonder if the mustache store manager has any other skills?
In addition to the mustache store manager, he also has several other alternative targets, such as coaches such as Takato Riki and Tanaoka Shigeka.

Among them, Coach Tian Gang said that he and Takato were like Sendoh and Rukawa when they were young.

Although no one believes that they have the good looks of Sendoh and Rukawa, their basketball skills are definitely not bad. After all, Coach Tiangang's character is well-known.

At this time, Mu Mu reacted and asked quickly: "I didn't expect the store manager to be so powerful back then. By the way, can you teach me this trick?"

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you. I'll teach you after the fight!"

The mustache store manager had no intention of being too proud of what he had, and Murasakibara's seemingly admiring look satisfied his vanity.

“I didn’t expect that the senior was the top scorer in the county tournament!”

Matsushita Kogoro's tone was full of respect. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in front of him actually had such a glorious past.

Not only Matsushita Kogoro, but the rest of Tsukutake's players also looked at the mustache-wearing store manager with admiration.

As players of Tsukutake, they are fully aware of the fierce competition in the Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament and are well aware of the importance of the scoring champion in the prefectural tournament.

The mustached store manager had a faint smile on his face and was very pleased with their reaction.

However, he still said calmly: "That was fifteen years ago. I am so old now!"

"Senior, you are still as charming as ever. If possible, please give us the younger generation some guidance if you have the chance!"

Kogoro Matsushita also hopes that the store manager with a small mustache can share his experiences and insights.

The mustache shop manager smiled and said, "Let's finish the fight first!"

The game continued, and Kimura Hiroshi kept adjusting his strategy, trying to get rid of Matsui Koji.

This time, Matsui Koji learned his lesson and made use of his rich experience, and was not left behind by Kimura Hiroshi.

For a while, Kimura Xi couldn't find any opportunity.

Seeing that Kimura Hiroshi had no chance to run away, Matsushita Kogoro stopped waiting and started to attack the mustache store manager alone.

As for another teammate, Tomokazu Goshiro, don't count on him now.

Facing the challenge from Kogoro Matsushita, the mustache store manager appeared calm.

Although he is no longer at his peak, he is only about 32 years old and his physical fitness has not declined much.

Matsushita Kogoro tried to break through the store manager's defense, but the store manager with a mustache was very solid. Even though Matsushita Kogoro tried his best, he was defeated one by one. In fact, under his pressure, he was almost intercepted by the store manager with a mustache, so he had to hold the basketball with both hands.

"I forgot to mention that, in addition to being the scoring champion, I've also been the steals champion!"

The store manager with a small moustache harassed and provoked Matsushita Kogoro with words.

"Captain, this way!"

Wu Dai Youhe took the initiative to come over to support.

In a hurry, Kogoro Matsushita passed the ball.

At this moment, with his extreme reaction, Murasakibara responded quickly.

His movements were agile and decisive, like a cheetah, and he completed the steal first.

Murasaki grabbed the basketball, but he didn't rush to attack. He waited for his teammates to get into position.

Wu Dai Youhe Asagi Mu rushed over and tried to get the ball back.

With a nimble turn, Murasakibara easily avoided Goshiro Tomokazu's pressing.

Before Tomokazu Goshiro could adjust his center of gravity, Murasakibara easily broke through with a cross step.

Kimura Hiroshi had to step forward to help defend, and just as he approached, suddenly, Mu Mu threw the ball towards the basket.

Bang~
Koji Matsui jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Well done!"

Koji Matsui was very excited. He hadn't experienced an aerial relay for a long time.

Not far away, the mustache store manager looked thoughtful.

Murasakibara's breakthrough just now was smooth and natural, and the rhythm was well controlled, which surprised him.

At first, when the mustache-wearing store manager learned that Murasakibara was a little-known player from Shohoku, he did not take it seriously.

However, Murasakibara's outstanding performance just now forced the mustache-wearing store manager to re-examine this seemingly ordinary player.

"How can it be!"

On the other side, Wu Dai Youhe was very shocked.

He looked incredulous. He never expected that Murasakibara could break through his defense, which was almost impossible before.

Tomokazu Goshiro thought he knew Murasakibara's strength very well. After all, two months ago, they were teammates at Kitamura Junior High School.

"Could it be that Mu Mu's strength has greatly increased during this period of time? Impossible, this must be just a coincidence!"

Tomokazu Goshiro shook his head. It was impossible for Murasakibara to become so strong in such a short time.

Soon, Tomokazu Goshiro served again.

This time, Yukigoro Matsushita did not try to break through again, but signaled with his eyes that Kimura Hiroshi should set a pick and roll.

Kimura Hiroshi used his strong body to block the mustache store manager, creating a brief opening for Matsushita Kogoro.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yukigoro Matsushita successfully got rid of the mustache store manager. Without waiting for Koji Matsui to switch defense, he made a decisive jump shot, and the basketball hit the basket squarely.

Call ~
After successfully scoring, Kogoro Matsushita was visibly relieved.

"Mumu, come and fight!"

The mustached store manager took the initiative to serve and passed the ball to Murasakibara.

After receiving the ball, Murasakibara appeared very calm, looking at Tomokazu Goshiro who was ready for battle in front of him.

Tomokazu Goshiro stared at Murasakibara with his eyes full of concentration, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
