Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 98 The third and fourth floors are so high!

The Sakuragi Army exclaimed in unison: "What? A base salary of $100,000!"

Sakuragi touched the back of his head and asked curiously, "Is one hundred thousand dollars a lot?"

After hearing what Sakuragi said, the Sakuragi Army pretended to faint and were speechless at Sakuragi's ignorance.

As we all know, Sakuragi doesn't like money. He has no interest in money and has no concept of money, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on buying the sixth generation of Jordan sneakers for 30 yen.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sakuragi is not clear about the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen.

In 1992, 1 U.S. dollar was worth about 120 Japanese yen.

After learning the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen, Sakuragi's eyes lit up and he looked eager to try.

"If I can become an NBA player, I can not only repay the loan but also provide a better living condition for my father."

"Senior, I want to play basketball!"

Sakuragi showed a determined look, and he never thought about the possibility of being rejected by the NBA.

On the side, Mito Yohei behaved more rationally: "Sakuragi, you have to think clearly. Since the NBA is the highest hall of basketball, it must be difficult to become a member of it, and I have never heard of any player from our country entering the NBA."

The first player to enter the NBA was Yuta Tabuse, who played four times for the Phoenix Suns in 2004 and later joined the Clippers.

However, he was cut after just a few games.

By the way, Yuta Tabuse was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, and in 1996 he studied at Akita Prefectural Noshiro Industrial High School, the prototype of Sanno Industry.

At the same time, Tabuse Yuta is also considered to be the prototype of Miyagi Ryouta.

Take Yuta Tabuse as an example. He is known as the Jordan of the island nation. The reason why he cannot gain a foothold in the NBA is mainly due to his height. He is only 175 cm tall and lacks the physical conditions required to compete in the NBA.

As for why Kawamura Nagaki, who is about the same height as Tabuse Yuta, can gain a foothold in the NBA, it is not because his strength is stronger than Tabuse Yuta, but mainly because NBA changed the rules.

There’s nothing we can do, it’s the small ball era!
“Yohei, Sakuragi has the potential to become an NBA player. Of course, to become an NBA player, you must have enough strength.

To put it another way, even if he can't become an NBA player, Sakuragi can at least become a member of the European League or the Japanese League, which is enough to guarantee his daily life."

Sakuragi's physical fitness and learning ability are undoubtedly among the best in SD.

In just a few months, he became the number one power forward.

"Really?"

“Realer than real gold!”

Mu Mu throws the ground loudly.

"How about this, Sakuragi, you can try it first, and if it doesn't work, then think of other ways."

Yohei Mito still felt that it was not reliable, so he proposed a compromise solution.

"Yohei is right!" The three idiots nodded in agreement.

They did this for Sakuragi's sake. After all, whether it is the NBA or other professional leagues, it must be very difficult.

"Then give it a try first!"

Hearing his companions say this, Sakuragi didn't feel very confident.

"Mumu!"

Just as they were discussing, a huge figure walked towards them.

Murasaki turned around and saw that it was Yuzumi.

On the side, Sakuragi and others also recognized Yuzumi.

In order to save Sakuragi's father, Yuzumi also made a lot of efforts.

"Uozumi, are you here to look for Akagi?"

Yuzumi rubbed his hands nervously and said embarrassedly: "No, I came here to find you on purpose. Akagi said that you are proficient in post-up singles skills, so he asked me to come to you to learn. Mumu, can you teach me?"

Yuzumi lowered his head, he was mentally prepared to be rejected by Murasakibara.

"Since you said so, I will definitely teach you!" Murasakibara agreed readily.

Although Yuzumi is not a member of the Shohoku team, he is a really kind person.

In the plot year, the Ryonan team he led was defeated by Shohoku and lost the opportunity to participate in the national competition.

What was unexpected was that Yuzumi not only had no resentment, but instead traveled a long distance to the venue of the national competition in order to support Akagi.

In order to wake up Akagi, he even risked his life by rushing into the competition venue and using a knife to cut radishes.

At that time, if the organizers had been serious about it, Yuzumi might not have had a good ending.

After all, if a two-meter giant appeared in a stadium full of spectators with a knife and had malicious intentions, the consequences would be huge.

In addition, Yuzumi is really pitiful, and can be regarded as the biggest tragedy and missed gem of SD.

As one of the top four or five centers in the country, he trained hard for three years but never made it to the national competition. In the end, he had to give up his beloved basketball and became a chef.

He is also the only senior player ranked in the top 20 who has never participated in a national competition.

In addition, every time Uozumi came to Shohoku to visit Akagi, he would bring some delicious food, including one for Murasakibara.

This is just a way of saying goodbye!

Finally, Yuzumi also played a role in saving Sakuragi's father.

With all these things going on, he had no idea of ​​refusing.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Yuzumi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Murasakibara to express his gratitude on the spot.

Until then, Sakuragi nudged Yuzumi with his elbow and asked curiously, "Big guy, is Muguro-senpai's basketball level very high? Is he as strong as Oda Ryumasa from our class?"

"Oda Ryumasa, who is that???"

Yuzumi had a question mark look on his face. He had no impression of the name Oda Ryumasa at all.

Ohkusu Yuji seemed to know Oda Ryumasa better, and said with a smile: "Oda Ryumasa is the star player of our Wako basketball team, and he is very popular among the girls."

On the side, Noma Chuichirō added: "I heard that under his leadership, our Wako Junior High School achieved a good result of reaching the top 16 in the junior high school county competition."

"Only the top 16, and they're from a junior high school!"

It was not until this time that Yuzumi had a direct impression of Oda Ryumasa's strength.

After realizing what was happening, Yuzumi became furious.

No one, cat or dog, can be compared with Murasakibara.

"Listen up, kid! The one standing in front of you is the best rookie, the scoring champion, and the best five players in the Kanagawa High School County Tournament, Kogure Mitsunobu, who is one of the top players in the country!

Just today, under his leadership, the Xiangbei team ended the dream of Hainan High School to win the county championship for 15 consecutive years. Now, do you still think that the Oda Ryumasa you mentioned can be compared with him? "

"Ah, Muguro-senpai is so strong!"

Although Mito Yohei and others knew only a little about basketball, they had heard of Hainan High School. After all, Hainan High School had won the county championship for 14 consecutive years.

On the side, Sakuragi was confused, but also felt it was powerful.

There was one thing he was sure of, and that was that Senior Murasakibara's basketball level was very high, at least as high as that of the third or fourth floor.

Mu Mu was a little embarrassed by what Yuzumi said, and quickly waved his hand: "Okay, Sakuragi, after you finish distributing flyers, you can come to the Xiangbei basketball stadium to find me!"

As soon as Murasakibara finished speaking, the Sakuragi Army hurriedly snatched the flyer from Sakuragi's hand.

Mito Yohei said to Sakuragi, "Sakuragi, you go over there with Mugure-senpai first, leave this place to us!"

"Then I'll be leaving first, Yohei, remember to come find me at Xiangbei."

Sakuragi was not embarrassed at all and followed Murasakibara and Uozumi to Shohoku.
