Chapter 128

They simply strike based on the opportunities created by Yukimiya, but under national-level defense, these opportunities vanish in a flash; their grasp is unstable, and the opponent's defense slightly disrupts this environment, causing their shooting accuracy to fluctuate wildly.

Yukimiya's passes create an environment that is already flawless, shielding him from great storms, yet whenever an opportunity arises, their lack of finishing ability and inability to withstand the minor turbulence created by the opponent leads to missed shots.

Regarding previous strong enemies, they had only encountered Teikou once; against other teams, they struck with heavy fists, with problems concealed beneath a series of crushing victories.

This caused the members of Bai Shui Hall, who realized this, to look extremely Grave.

Everyone discussed the Tactics for the Quarter for the second half.

There is only one core essence.

Pass the ball to Yukimiya.

Naturally, the Bai Shui Hall members had no objections; in fact, during the first half, they harbored doubts in their hearts because Yukimiya's shots seemed too few.

Clap~

Before going on court, Shin Matsuzaki patted Yukimiya Kazuma's shoulder, "Suppressed for half the game... hard work. The goal I wanted is achieved; now you can let your hands and feet go free."

Yukimiya Kazuma raised an eyebrow.

Alright.

Ready to harvest the game.

Beep~!

Accompanied by a whistle, the second half of the match began.

As expected, Seihou still adopted the Tactics for the Quarter from the second quarter, double-teaming Yukimiya Kazuma inside the paint, but at that moment, Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly left the restricted area.

"What the hell?"

Iwamura Tsutomu, Kasuga Takahira, and Sakamoto Kenjiro all looked completely confused, unable to understand what this meant at all.

Several people watched Yukimiya Kazuma leave the inside line but did not immediately follow.

Or rather.

They could not follow.

The reason Seihou could freely use double-team inside the paint was that within the three-point line, they could always provide aid and help defense for teammates.

But beyond the three-point line, if they still besieged Yukimiya Kazuma, then this restricted area would become Bai Shui Hall's domain; Yukimiya Kazuma's passing ability was visible to all.

Beyond the three-point line, Kasuga Yuji handed the ball to Yukimiya Kazuma without hesitation, and the latter raised his hand and shot immediately.

Everyone was suddenly startled.

"What?"

"Hey, hey, are you joking? Did you forget your position? Can a center shoot from beyond the three-point line?!"

Yukimiya Kazuma shooting a three-pointer outside made everyone at Seihou think he was fooling around, but upon seeing the opponent's shooting motion, everyone shuddered!

So high!

So fast!

Such a fluid shot!

The next second.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in mid-air, then with a swoosh, flew into the basket.

Clang~!

On the sidelines, Matsumoto Ukon suddenly stood up; the sudden movement pushed the bench beneath him back several centimeters.

On the court, the people at Seihou, seeing this shot, were all dumbfounded.

"Just a lucky guess, right? Which center can make a three-pointer?"

Correct.

Yukimiya, who stirred up wind and rain inside the paint in the first half.

In Seihou's view, was much more of a 'center' than number 4.

Although Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Asuka' shooting motion was visibly that of a shooting master, the people at Seihou, adhering to simple basketball values, still many believed it was just a coincidence.

After all, a center's physical attributes and strength are destined to fail in controlling precision on three-pointers; this is something everyone knows.

And then...

Bai Shui Hall's next offensive possession.

Yukimiya Kazuma, with a cold face, came to the outside again to receive the ball and launched 'Asuka' without any hesitation.

Swish!

The second three-pointer went in.

This time, even if the people at Seihou found it hard to believe, they had to admit it.

"This is bad!"

Consecutive three-pointers completely disrupted all of Seihou's arrangements, yet, this was merely the beginning.

Clap!

Without a double-team, Yukimiya Kazuma became unobstructed inside the paint again.

Seihou's power forward forced his way into the restricted area but was met by a huge block from Yukimiya Kazuma; Bai Shui Hall immediately launched a fast break, Kasuga Yuji carried the ball past half-court but was quickly caught up by Kasuga Takahira.

But he had no hesitation, directly passing the ball to Yukimiya Kazuma, who, the instant he received it, performed another catch-and-shoot motion, as smooth as Dove.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seihou's power forward followed closely, leaping into the air, wanting to block Yukimiya Kazuma's shot, but even with all his strength, he could barely reach the height of Yukimiya Kazuma's hair.

"Bow down and worship!"

"Trash!"

A height of 186.7, combined with enhanced jumping ability and long arms and legs, under the technical capability of 'Monster Immersion·Asuka', directly brought Yukimiya Kazuma's release point to a height that ordinary people could only dream of.

At the same time...

The entire process of the move, from start to finish, was ridiculously fast!

"How do you defend against this?!"

The Seihou big forwards wanted to curse; a center of such height, covering the entire court with no blind spots, capable of bizarrely switching to a shot at any moment mid-dribble—this was just too unfair!

Moreover

Swish!

Hearing that familiar sound, he clenched his teeth even tighter.

"This brat who suddenly started trash-talking is too accurate!"

Under tight man-to-man pressure and help defense, Yukimiya Kazuma scored 6 out of 8 attempts, widening the gap; against such defense, with such shooting percentage, even nationwide, only those exceptional shooting guards could achieve it.

49:33.

Yukimiya Kazuma ravaged the entire court, immediately pushing the score Seihou had chased back down again.

Haruka Haruka wiped away sweat while forcing a smile.

"This is bad..."

"Eh? It's already over? Then if I take a shot next, won't you older brother be even worse off?"

Hearing Haruka Yuji's typical rebellious adolescent remark, Haruka Takahira felt some anger in his heart, but for the first time had no mind to retort.

Ignoring Haruka Yuji's provocation, he dribbled and charged past from the left.

But...

Whoosh!

Haruka Yuji suddenly caught up to Haruka Takahira's movement, blocking him directly in front.

"He... actually..."

"He caught up?!"

At the same time, Haruka Yuji also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, finally, I successfully exploited that flaw once.

So difficult!

Haruka Takahira didn't dwell on it too much; to maintain Seihou's fluid ball movement, he simply passed the ball in his hand out.

But this time...

Just as Haruka Takahira passed the ball, Yukimiya Kazuma seemed to have foreseen his passing direction; he thrust his right hand forward, and then heard a light 'snap' sound as the basketball was intercepted.

"What?"

This sudden turn of events left Haruka Takahira somewhat caught off guard, but before he could react, Yukimiya Kazuma, with a rather terrifying expression, charged straight toward Seihou's half-court.

Haruka Takahira had no choice but to turn around and resist Yukimiya's offensive push.
