Chapter 144: The Last Summer; Might as Well Get Excited! (5k)

That's right.

Yukimiya Kazuma's co-defense defends against both internal and external threats.

Achieving both simultaneously is thanks to the six attribute points rewarded from the previous match.

Yukimiya Kazuma put them all into 'Co-defense', making Co-defense his fourth attribute to break through 90!

This also quietly added a 'Wide' to the 'Range Defense' that Yukimiya Kazuma intentionally imitated from Midorima's bankrupt version of 'Super Wide Range Defense'.

On the transition from defense to offense, Yukimiya Kazuma dribbled the ball up the court and, despite the opponent's defensive interference, still delivered a precise long pass.

Takefusa Takaki pushed off the ground and took flight, completing a beautiful alley-oop.

A small jump, a floater went in; he was truly scared of being blocked on dunks by Yukimiya Kazuma.

Bai Shui Hall's possession.

He quickly found what he thought was the correct defensive approach.

Giving Yukimiya Kazuma a bit of space.

In his eyes, Yukimiya Kazuma, like Dakou Longzhi, was a drive-oriented big man with poor shooting.

However...

'Monster Immersion' suddenly activated!
