Chapter 100: More Offending Than Handing a Love Letter to the Girl You Like Right in Front of Her!

The more shocked the fans of Higashi-Tsukudo were, the more jubilant the Bai Shui bench became.

Coach Xinsongzhi was the most so; he turned his head to glance toward the Higashi-Tsukudo side, scanning back and forth over an old man with equally gray hair like a scanner.

Heh~

Old man!

Did you see that, Yukimiya Kazuma of Bai Shui?

At the Bai Shui bench, after the team shed the shadow of Teiko, they regained their vitality, reaching a state where all living things burst forth with vigor.

Most importantly, Yukimiya performed too beautifully, completely suppressing this so-called No. 2 of the Tokyo Zone, and the opening was a violent steal in a 1v1, which was the most exhilarating!

Long Tian Zhang chased, but Yukimiya Kazuma had already crossed half-court, then drove straight to the basket, leaping with full force; his jumping stat had already fluctuated up to 85, allowing him to glide slightly and slam the ball into the hoop.

After scoring, since it was just the start, Yukimiya Kazuma did not let out a war cry.

Instead, he very 'politely' caught the ball, at which moment Long Tian Zhang, who was more than a step behind, arrived with a gloomy face.

Yukimiya Kazuma's signature gentle smile, he gently pressed the ball against Long Tian Zhang's chest, then turned to head back to the Bai Shui half-court; thus, a famous painting was frozen in the camera of a passing basketball game reporter.

!!!

Sometimes, excessive humility and politeness, in the eyes of others, may be more arrogant than arrogance itself.

Perhaps Yukimiya Kazuma's action was not originally intended this way, but all the students in the Higashi-Tsukudo stands took Yukimiya Kazuma's gesture as mockery.

Damn it!

Long Tian Zhang looked at the ball in his hand, and the anger in his eyes burned into fire!

This was more humiliating to him than when the senior he liked once handed a love letter to the other person right in front of him, only to be rejected in the end!

A rustling sound rose from the spectator stands on the Higashi-Tsukudo side.

Takefusa Masaki waved and high-fived Yukimiya Kazuma as he returned to defense: "Kazuma, the Higashi-Tsukudo guys must be furious with you; as loud as they were at the start, they are just as miserable now."

Hearing this, Yukimiya Kazuma was completely baffled: "Furious with me? I didn't do anything, right? After that dunk, I even deliberately held back and didn't roar."

"..."

"It's exactly that action of yours after the dunk, slowly and calmly placing the ball in Long Tian Zhang's hands, which has a stronger humiliating effect than your usual roaring."

"Huh?"

"Does that count?"

"Well, after the dunk, if I had just smashed the ball onto the floor and let it bounce into my hands, I would have had to pass it back to Higashi-Tsukudo; it's just that Long Tian Zhang was right behind me and appeared too timely, so I just happened to stuff it into his hands."

"You can't blame me for that..."

Yukimiya Kazuma shook his head speechlessly; he just felt something was off, why did the more polite he was on the court, the more the opponents got riled up?

He had noticed this during the match against Teiko; this trick doesn't work, so give it up quickly.

Higashi-Tsukudo's turn.

Long Tian Zhang glared at Yukimiya Kazuma: "Yukimiya, don't get too cocky; it's just one ball, don't think you've beaten me!"

Just as he finished speaking, Long Tian Zhang suddenly saw Yukimiya Kazuma hold up two fingers: "It's two balls; I've already scored two, and you're still at zero."

Long Tian Zhang: "!!"

Veins bulged on Long Tian Zhang's forehead; he desperately wanted to hit back an answer ball, and Yukimiya Kazuma's words even made him, in his rage, reject his teammate's screen.

Pat~

Pat~

Pat~

Long Tian Zhang patiently used dribbling to shift Yukimiya Kazuma's center of gravity, but just like the previous time, the effect was minimal.

Boom~!

Long Tian Zhang suddenly pushed off the ground and exploded; he could no longer hold back, unleashing his full speed in an attempt to surprise Yukimiya from the side purely through speed.

But could he really compete on speed? Moreover, Yukimiya Kazuma's positioning was excellent; regarding Long Tian Zhang's offensive direction, he was fully mentally prepared.

On the Bai Shui bench, Xinsongzhi nodded very satisfied; they say defense wins championships, and the top-tier players are all excellent in both offense and defense; Xinsongzhi saw the potential of a superstar in Yukimiya Kazuma, and of course, to go a step further, Yukimiya's offensive skills still need further refinement.

But matters of offensive skills cannot be rushed.

Now, first, give me a good grilling of Old Man Hikino's ace!

Long Tian Zhang was completely pinned down by Yukimiya Kazuma; all his various dribbling feints, including dribbling fake moves, failed to break through Yukimiya Kazuma's defense.

To be precise, if he played normal techniques with ball control, he simply could not break free.

Panic had already appeared on his face; no matter how he thought, he couldn't understand what exactly had happened to Yukimiya Kazuma after their last encounter to cause such a earth-shattering change.

Where did that standard unskilled big guy go, the one who could be easily faked out by him and rolled and kneaded under his dribbling?

At this moment, Long Tian Zhang, pinned at the top of the three-point arc, had nowhere left to retreat; he had to make a desperate gamble right here.

Whoosh~

He passed...

No choice; he couldn't keep up the tough talk.

Yukimiya Kazuma spread his long arms and rushed up; he couldn't be faked out, couldn't be driven past, and immediately completely covered him!

On the other side, Higashi-Tsukudo's power forward received the ball, but Long Tian Zhang had consumed too much offensive time on this play; he could only force a jump shot, and under Liang Huayin's interference, it was clear the shot would miss the moment it left his hand.

Clang~!

Takefusa Masaki secured the defensive rebound with full effort.

The moment he landed, he looked for the white-haired one, who was quite conspicuous.

The basketball flew over with Yukimiya Kazuma's movement; fast breaks were Bai Shui's specialty, and under Yukimiya's orchestration, they could even steal points right in front of Teiko.

Liang Huayin and Teruyama Daisuke followed up on both sides behind Yukimiya Kazuma; Higashi-Tsukudo lacked Teiko's ability to retreat to defense, creating a numbers advantage; this situation was the perfect scene for a 'passing master' to shine.

A head flick during the sprint showed off right in the face of the opposing defender.

Then came a no-look pass, carefree and elegant.

The defender's attention, drawn by Yukimiya Kazuma's gaze, shifted to Liang Huayin, and Yukimiya merely tapped lightly with his fingertip; the basketball, like a scalpel, fell into Daisuke Teruyama's hands.

Daisuke Teruyama, left unguarded, needed no adjustment and went straight for a layup.

Swish~

"Ha!!"

Daisuke Teruyama imitated Senior Yukimiya's move, roaring and raising his arm after scoring!

The spectators in the Higashi-Tsukuba stands felt very complex emotions; on one hand, the play was beautiful, the pass magnificent, Yukimiya Kazuma's planned fast break vanishing in an instant, flowing smoothly like mercury spilling.

It was just...
