Chapter 125: Half-Time Suppression Was Hard Work; Now You Can Play Freely! (5k)

Liang Huayin signaled for coordinated defense; Haruhiro Kasuga passed the ball out, and Seijo's power forward caught it and took another mid-range shot, but this time, just as he released the ball, a palm suddenly appeared above his head.

'I Love Jump Shots' triggered!

"Yo! Senior, don't you think you're a bit too close to the rim?"

Smack!

A ruthless block slammed down hard on the basketball.

This block stunned every player on the court, especially Seijo's power forward who had just been blocked by Yukimiya; now his entire face showed nothing but wide-eyed shock.

"You've got to be kidding..."

"This guy!"

After Haruhiro Kasuga got the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack; he originally intended to run a fast break, but suddenly remembered what Senior Yukimiya had just said: Seijo's players possess a unique running style and are best at handling prolonged battles, so he slowed his speed down again.

Only after all his teammates were in position did Haruhiro Kasuga pass the ball through Yukimiya Kazuma as the pivot, then raise his arm and shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Clang!

The sound of the iron rim ringing out was crisp.

Yukimiya Kazuma and Iwamura Tsutomu battled for strength in the paint; Yukimiya held off his opponent, grabbed the rebound, but instead of shooting himself, he passed the ball back out to the perimeter.

Haruhiro Kasuga shot again.

Clang!

Another spectacular iron-forge shot.

Yukimiya Kazuma leaped lightly, caught the rebound, and passed it out once more.

Watching these two shots made the Seijo players' eyelids twitch; a fierce killing intent radiated from them.

Damn it, are they trying to challenge us?

Iwamura Tsutomu frowned tightly!

Are you looking down on me?

Yuji fired again from the perimeter; seeing that he still dared to shoot, two players on the Seijo side couldn't stand it anymore and immediately jumped up to block, but this time Haruhiro Kasuga happened to make the shot.

Swish!

The friction sound between the basketball and the rim now sounded especially... awkward.

When the two landed.

The arena fell into silence.

"Number 5 has grabbed quite a few rebounds already, hasn't he?" Matsumoto Yukinori suddenly asked.

"Yes! From the very start of the game, we haven't been able to get a rebound from him." The Seijo manager said while picking up the statistical data from his side.

"I see. Iwamura and the others are likely in for some trouble."

Although so far Yukimiya Kazuma had only displayed a fraction of his passing and ball-handling, aside from that, just this one skill of grabbing rebounds was enough to secure him a place among the nation's top high school basketball schools.

Beep~!

Just as Matsumoto Yukinori was thinking, the first match came to an end.

Up until the referee's whistle, the score between the two sides was 17:7.

Bai Shui High led.

"This is trouble!"

After returning to their own bench area, Haruhiro Kasuga, who had just been bickering with his younger brother, also had a trace of worry appear on his face.

"Indeed, your brother's team has a monster in it!"

"But now that we have confirmed the opponent's core, next we should make him rein it in."
