Chapter 129

This guy, are you kidding me?!

I saw Yukimiya Kazuma, who had just completed the block and gained possession of the ball near the baseline of Quanzhen Hall, suddenly make a shooting motion under the basket.

And that motion was one Aomine Daiki was very familiar with.

Aomine Daiki: "!?"

What’s going on?

This posture is... Midorima’s three-pointer!?

"Before you get serious, let me show you first, my perfect imitation!"

"Midorima’s full-court three-pointer!"

[Rolling Pencil (Gold · Non-upgradable)...]

[Effect loaded...]

[Remaining times for this match: 0...]

From the preparation motion to the extended time for charging due to the increased shooting range, Yukimiya Kazuma’s shot looked exactly the same as Midorima’s, at least in terms of motion.

As for the trajectory...

Because of the effect of the 'Rolling Pencil', just throw it as high as possible; as for the rest, it’s all up to luck.

*Whoosh~!*

The basketball drew an ultra-high trajectory. To the spectator stands, that ball had been thrown to the dome of the gymnasium, almost merging with the dazzling incandescent light, and the trajectory was invisible!

Until...

With a *swish*, it fell straight from the high altitude toward Touou’s basket, passing through the hoop cleanly. The net that was lifted looked like a stone thrown into a lake, splashing water!

*Bang~!*

The basketball slammed heavily into the baseline of Touou’s half!

At the same time...

In the spectator stands, Midorima, who had undergone a series of disguises but was still easily seen through by Kise, suddenly widened his eyes!

"Actually..."

"It’s real?!"

On the side, Kise Ryota also had a dumbfounded expression, and the point he was focusing on was that Yukimiya Kazuma could actually 'imitate' Midorima’s shot...

That was something he had always wanted to do but couldn't...

So...

It really is possible!

On the court.

Yukimiya Kazuma looked at the shocked Aomine, pushed up the bridge of his nose where there were no glasses, and continued to apply pressure: "My shooting range is the entire court."

As for why he did this at the start instead of saving this precious shot that could decide the outcome at a critical moment for the end, it was firstly because he thought the possibility of a situation where one shot decided the outcome was too low.

Secondly, because he needed to use this shot to maximize the defensive pressure on Aomine. Having defended against Midorima, he knew very well how much defensive investment was needed for someone who could shoot full-court three-pointers.

Even in the worst case, if he could only fool Aomine for a few rounds, it could create opportunities for a few rounds of fake shots and real breakthroughs, while consuming Aomine’s defensive stamina for several rounds of high-intensity jumping and shadowing.

One shot.

Extremely high cost-performance ratio Nine.

Seeing that terrifying arc thrown from Yukimiya Kazuma’s hand.

The Touou people were stunned.

The Quanzhen Hall people were stunned.

The spectators at the scene were also stunned.

On the Touou bench, Momoi Satsuki was also taken aback, standing up in shock.

"How could...?"

A flash of shock crossed Momoi Satsuki’s beautiful eyes.

She could be sure that Yukimiya Kazuma must have held back in previous matches. After all, back in middle school, Yukimiya Kazuma had done this more than once, but even the person best at gathering intelligence couldn't have imagined that Yukimiya Kazuma could actually 'imitate' Midorima’s full-court three-pointer.

"Are you kidding me? This kind of monster is already terrifying enough, and now he can actually shoot three-pointers from so far away?"

Even Imayoshi Shoichi, who had excellent emotional control, was a bit stunned by this sudden blow, and Yukimiya Kazuma only used this one three-pointer at the start to break all the defensive arrangements Touou had made before the match.

Aomine Daiki: "..."

So that’s how it is.

Similar to Kise’s imitation, but even better at imitating the abilities of the Generation of Miracles.

This guy...

The more he knows, the more it piques his interest.

Touou’s offensive round.

After Imayoshi Shoichi pressed up, he passed the ball directly to Aomine.

And Yukimiya Kazuma, who had just finished shooting the three-pointer from the baseline, had long been waiting at the top of the three-point arc.

Monster Immersion · Ghost Spider!

With the activation of the badge ability, a dangerous aura gradually rose from Yukimiya Kazuma. At the same time, Aomine clearly felt the aura on Yukimiya Kazuma, and in his perception, he could even see a white spider that had already spread its limbs, locking onto him with the eerie red light from the bottom of its eyes!

Aomine’s eyes flashed, and he accelerated and rushed out!

However...

In the 'Ghost Spider' state, Yukimiya Kazuma’s pace and reaction were extremely fast, responding almost instantly, blocking Aomine’s path. At the same time, his hand movements, combined with his footwork, were continuous, entangling like a spider spitting silk, causing Aomine’s speed to visibly drop!

Aomine: "...!"

Aomine narrowed his eyes, and the basketball in his hands began to dance even more crazily, but his fingertips were like a magnet; no matter how wild and exaggerated his dribbling movements were, the ball was firmly controlled in his hands!

Extremely varied!

And hard to predict!

The movement was like dancing!

Yukimiya Kazuma stood in front of Aomine, his spirit constantly immersing...

Continuing to immerse...

The ability of 'Ghost Spider', 'Defense will entangle like a spider to slow down the opponent’s speed', reached its peak at this moment!

After deepening, the negative emotions of 'Monster Immersion' appeared on his face, and the red light at the bottom of his eyes, exactly the same as the 'Ghost Spider', flashed and disappeared. "What are you still showing off for?"

"Trash!"

Aomine’s eyes focused, followed by a between-the-legs stop. His super agility allowed him to instantly complete the deceleration from maximum speed to zero, followed by an explosive acceleration from zero to maximum speed!

He accelerated and rushed past Yukimiya Kazuma’s side, then borrowed the momentum of the breakthrough to jump up, leaning his body in the air, and suddenly threw the ball out with his right hand like throwing a ball!

But in the next second.

The slowing of Aomine’s speed by the 'Ghost Spider' meant Yukimiya Kazuma’s defense didn't lose its position at all. The moment Aomine’s formless shot was released, Yukimiya Kazuma also suddenly rose from the ground like a spring!

'I Love Blocking Jump Shots' triggered!

*Snap~!*

The wind brought by the two jumping up blew their hair to the side, and the ball that should have been thrown into the basket by Aomine suddenly disappeared...

It was grabbed by Yukimiya Kazuma!

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers at the scene, the atmosphere suddenly boiled over.

"Directly..."

"Grabbed the ball directly in the air?!"

"Jumped so high!"

"This is the first time I’ve seen Aomine blocked, and it was confiscated directly in the air like this..."

Yukimiya Kazuma grabbed the ball with one hand and looked at Aomine. The residual negative emotions of the 'Ghost Spider' made him unable to help but speak: "What’s going on? Did I hear wrong before?"

"Is this what it means to be serious?"

"Nothing special..."
