Chapter 137
Damn, he has an impression of this shot!
The degree of Qingfeng's tilt to the left was far beyond the past; this time it was really parallel to the ground, and his body was already out of the baseline, arriving behind the backboard!
At the moment of touching the ground and going out of bounds, and also at the moment of falling to the ground, Qingfeng suddenly threw the ball into the sky with one hand!
A scene no one expected appeared...
An ultra-high arc.
The rotation was also extremely terrible.
But the scary thing was, that ball was just unreasonable. Amidst the stunned expressions of everyone around, it headed straight for the basket and finally drilled into the basket with a crisp swish!
Long Tianzhang opened his mouth wide, staring dumbfounded at Aomine Daiki, who had fallen directly out of the baseline, the shock in his heart impossible to describe in words.
No way...
There should be a limit to how absurd things can be!
This monster!
However, the facts told Long Tianzhang that there is no most absurd, only more absurd. For Qingfeng, the difficulty of this shot was perhaps not much higher than a free throw.
In the stands, everyone was dumbfounded.
"This..."
"So strong, it's already strong to the point of being unreasonable."
"Is this the ace of the Generation of Miracles? He can even make a shot like that?"
"Looks like it hurts to fall..."
After Qingfeng made the shot, he quickly climbed up. In his state of ultra-high concentration, he didn't say a word to Yukimiya Kazuma, but the moment their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Tsuchiya Daiga picked up the ball and passed it to Yukimiya Kazuma from the baseline.
Yukimiya dribbled forward. 'Startling Strings' reacted to steals with lightning speed. When dribbling, it allowed him to reduce his concentration on protecting the ball and go all out for speed and his next offensive choice.

Snap~
Yukimiya and Qingfeng entangled, quickly attacking and defending from the backcourt to the frontcourt. In the super-speed sprint, the two seemed not to see anyone else, passing one figure after another!
Whether it was Quanzhenkan or Touou, they couldn't keep up with the pace of the two.
Too fast!
Both sides' speed was too fast!
Qingfeng intercepted Yukimiya with full concentration, but Yukimiya Kazuma, relying on his not-so-weak speed, the reaction of 'Startling Strings,' and the intermittent 'Jie-Hua-Fa' bursts, constantly pushed toward Touou!
Arriving near the paint, Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly performed a between-the-legs dribble!
Back to the basket...
Devil's footwork!
His offensive pace suddenly accelerated, reaching the same level as Qingfeng's, and at the same time, the increasingly complex footwork made Aomine Daiki's pupils constrict!
Suddenly...
Yukimiya Kazuma threw the ball toward the basket in almost the same way as Qingfeng, causing a burst of exclamations on the scene, thinking that after the 'Midorima three-pointer,' Yukimiya Kazuma was going to perform a 'Qingfeng formless shot.'
However, Qingfeng's block hit the ball, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory.
There was no surprise on Yukimiya Kazuma's face; this was within his expectations. He didn't have the ability to perform a formless shot, so naturally, he never intended to rely on such a blind throw to score from the start!
Because he relied on the 'Devil's footwork' to create space for the shot, his feet hadn't left the ground very high while he was spinning around.
He rushed under the basket at the fastest speed, one step ahead of Qingfeng, who had just landed.
Qingfeng was also startled and hurriedly followed!
Boom~!
At this moment, the ball hit the backboard and rebounded.
Yukimiya Kazuma exerted force with his legs and leaped into the air. The wind from the speed ruffled his snowy hair.
In the restricted area, Wakamatsu Kosuke and Tsuchiya Daiga leaped high. Just as Wakamatsu Kosuke was staring intently at the backboard, an arm suddenly reached out from behind him—it was Yukimiya Kazuma.
And behind Yukimiya, Qingfeng also leaped, reaching out to compete for possession!
But when Yukimiya leaped with a one-body-length lead, the result was predictable.
The next second...
With a boom, Yukimiya Kazuma directly suppressed Wakamatsu Kosuke, who hadn't figured out what was happening, and hung on the basket. In front of him was the ball that had been pressed into the basket, and beneath him was Wakamatsu Kosuke, who had been posterized!
The entire audience, seeing this poster dunk, fell silent, even those who were still marveling.
It should be said that this poster dunk was just one factor...
From the moment Yukimiya pushed from the backcourt...
All the way to the goal.
The technique displayed, from ball control to footwork, to the final self-toss-and-dunk, was too smooth, just like a pre-designed shortcut combo in a video game!
The visual impact left everyone dumbfounded.
Touou's coach stood on the sidelines, staring intently at Yukimiya Kazuma in the distance, and then his gaze fell on the score.
No wonder Qingfeng valued him so much.
However...
It's getting troublesome...
If this continues, both Qingfeng and the game are in danger.
On the court, the battle between Qingfeng and Yukimiya continued. The two were like small boats darting rapidly through a turbulent river; their high-frequency movements were dizzying to behold.
Although Qingfeng had regained his best form, the score between Quanzhen Hall and Tonghuang seesawed upward.
Yukimiya Kazuma rarely managed to defend against Qingfeng Daiki when he was at his "Wildness Limit."
"Flying Bird," "Startled String," "Hidden Bow," "Receive-Transform-Emit," "Devil's Footwork"—Qingfeng also rarely managed to defend against Yukimiya Kazuma, who had suddenly unleashed his full repertoire of combo techniques since the start of the second quarter.
The match remained in a stalemate until the latter half of the second quarter. However, this stalemate was limited to the second quarter alone, building upon the 13-point lead Quanzhen Hall had established in the first.
In fact, because Tonghuang missed a shot right at the start of the second quarter, the point gap had actually widened by 2 points.
Quanzhen Hall vs. Tonghuang.
54:39.
In the spectator stands.
Midorima Shintaro pushed up his glasses. Occupying a seat next to him was a giant teddy bear, and one seat over sat Kise. "With Qingfeng's current state, it's clearly difficult for Yukimiya Kazuma to fend him off on offense, but the same goes for Qingfeng..."
"He can't defend against Yukimiya..."
"Yukimiya's offensive combinations are quite complex..."
"That ultimate high-speed and high-arc '723' jump shot—although now, due to Qingfeng's speed and reaction time, he can't score efficiently from outside the three-point line in such a simple, brutal fashion."
"But paired with his extreme footwork threats near the paint and his increasingly frequent explosive bursts of power, Yukimiya possesses unexpected offensive versatility near the free-throw line."
Kise, sitting on the other side of the teddy bear, looked laboriously at Midorima. "Actually, Little Qingfeng's strength is still superior, right? It seems like Little Yukimiya is relying on brute force to force his way through more and more often."
Midorima put the teddy bear that Kise had pushed aside back into place and said calmly, "That is also a part of strength."
However...
Kise was right about one thing: Qingfeng's strength was indeed superior.
For Yukimiya Kazuma to output power on the level of Murasakibara with that kind of physique, one could imagine the extent of the physical exertion involved. Perhaps the stamina advantage Yukimiya had established in the first quarter would be completely squandered in this one.
And...
He was pushing Qingfeng too hard.
