Chapter 145

Swish~!

"What are you looking at!?"

Beneath Yukimiya Kazuma's cold face lay a terrifying gaze!

Although it was not yet time for 'Monster Immersion' to intervene, and negative emotions would affect the current stage's main focus, 'Passing and Control Master', the cost of a sudden strike affecting one or two turns was still affordable.

Even if the team's overall passing and control rhythm was interrupted, failing to punish the opponent now would only encourage them to become bolder in defense.

Swish~!

The basketball went straight into the net!

The Northoka power forward's expression changed!

The retreat speed of Bai Shui Hall was fast; Northoka had no fast-break opportunity.

Dakou Longzhi slowed the pace a bit, waiting for Northoka's interior players to set up.

Liang Huayin, who had been scored on by a small floater from Dakou Longzhi earlier, with his strong sense of self-esteem, provided equal resistance.

Dakou Longzhi could not shake him off, so the power forward immediately stepped up to set a screen.

Once Liang Huayin was blocked, Dakou Longzhi could tear through Bai Shui Hall's defense.

Yukimiya Kazuma had already judged Dakou Longzhi's intention and rushed over to cover early.

When Dakou Longzhi drove, he met stubborn resistance from Liang Huayin going around the screen; he exploded in one step, gathered the ball, and charged forward.

At this moment, Yukimiya Kazuma appeared on Dakou Longzhi's only path; Yukimiya Kazuma stabilized his center of gravity and planted himself firmly. His judgment was very correct: Dakou Longzhi had already started his drive, and Liang Huayin was chasing from behind, leaving no escape.

Yukimiya Kazuma had made full preparations, but the expected collision never came.

After taking three steps, Dakou Longzhi neither shot nor passed.

He continued stepping around Yukimiya Kazuma's side.

Stunned!

Yukimiya Kazuma was dumbfounded, to the point that his reaction slowed!

Dakou Longzhi leaped high, completed the finish with a powerful dunk, and upon landing, roared in celebration!

The entire arena boiled over; the Northoka students in the stands were conquered by Dakou Longzhi's 'silky' move and went crazy, waving flags and shouting for Dakou Longzhi.

"Dakou!"

"Dakou!"

"Dakou!"

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

Wasn't that a traveling violation?!

What kind of snake-skin play is this?!

However, when he looked at the referee, he found the referee had no reaction at all.

He recalled carefully...

Damn!

What blocking-the-view-stepping secret technique? There's such a thing?!

Yukimiya Kazuma glanced at Dakou Longzhi, who inherited from LeBron but developed the skill to actively exploit vision, and couldn't help but praise: "6..."

I thought you were a brute, but you're actually a specialist.

Dakou Longzhi ignored Yukimiya Kazuma; he had heard such sarcastic words before, and this level of mockery could not shake Dakou Longzhi's Dao heart.

Bai Shui Hall's turn.

Yukimiya Kazuma ran a pick-and-roll with Takefune Masaki at the top of the key; Yukimiya Kazuma, driving into the paint, met Dakou Longzhi's help defense and passed the ball to Haru no Hi Yuji on the perimeter.

As the smallest but also most agile player on the court, Haru no Hi Yuji used an increasingly skilled "Namba Step" to shake off Northoka's point guard and took a mid-range shot.

Swish!

Swished in!

Yukimiya Kazuma's teammates, one of the goals of their joint training camp, to develop a finishing ability that could catch people's eyes, seemed to have achieved this goal quite well.

Plus Yukimiya Kazuma's playmaking, it was hard for Northoka to completely shut down Bai Shui Hall.

For Northoka to narrow the score gap, they had to keep scoring.

Dakou Longzhi was the hope of all of Northoka.

The next possession.

Dakou Longzhi used a screen again to drive into the paint.

With the experience from last time, Yukimiya Kazuma no longer thought about drawing a foul from Dakou Longzhi; in a tangled situation, if this guy used a 'Ghost Step' and added one or two extra steps, who could keep up with his rhythm?

After switching, Yukimiya Kazuma rushed from the wing, and 'I Love Blocking Dunks' instantly lit up.

Dakou Longzhi, leaping high, clearly did not expect someone to appear from the side; empowered by 'I Love Blocking Dunks', Yukimiya Kazuma's Qi pierced the sky.

Smack~!

The basketball was swatted away.

For defending players who love to drive and dunk, 'I Love Blocking Dunks' is truly a divine skill!

After blocking Dakou Longzhi, feeling the time was right, 'Rookie Ace's War Cry' was also activated.

The War Cry activated; Yukimiya Kazuma's movements were full of infectious energy, Bai Shui Hall's players' morale surged, and they even felt their fatigue lessen significantly.

Northoka inbounds the ball; naturally, they immediately looked for Dakou Longzhi, but this time Northoka's ball movement was a bit careless, and Yukimiya Kazuma, patrolling the court, caught them red-handed.

Transition offense; Bai Shui Hall team launched a fast break like a whirlwind.

Northoka obviously had not adapted to Bai Shui Hall's rhythm; only Dakou Longzhi intended to chase back.

With just one defender against three, escape was clearly impossible; the wise and dignified Dakou Longzhi decisively and stylishly stopped.

Yukimiya Kazuma tossed the ball forward, and Takefune Masaki leaped high.

As Takenaga Masaki reached the apex, the basketball arrived at the perfect spot; Takenaga Masaki caught it with ease and violently slammed it through the hoop.

Boom!

"Wah!!"

"Alley-oop!"

"How is this even a middle school match?!"

"Amazing!"

The live audience roared in satisfaction; Bai Shui High's style of play was utterly captivating.

"Well done!"

Yukimiya Kazuma and Takenaga Masaki high-fived to celebrate.

……

Time moved to the early stage of the third quarter.

Although Dakou Longzhi played ferociously on the surface, Kitagawa remained at a disadvantage throughout, and as Yukimiya Kazuma "unlocked," the downward spiral intensified.

Bai Shui High's transition rhythm completely overwhelmed Kitagawa, and from that moment on, Yukimiya Kazuma abruptly entered a state of "monster immersion"!

Under the deluge of Asuka's shooting, Kitagawa nearly collapsed, and the score gap suddenly widened dramatically.

Bai Shui High's possession.

After receiving the inbound pass, Yukimiya Kazuma began to accelerate.

In contrast, Kitagawa's two interior players were completely unable to keep up with Bai Shui High's pace.

When Bai Shui High launched their offense, only Dakou Longzhi and the two guards had set up their positions.

It was a 5-on-3 in the frontcourt; Dakou Longzhi was somewhat stunned. How the hell do you defend this?

Dakou Longzhi moved to the interior to mark Takenaga Masaki.

The two guards also chose to defend Liang Huayin and Teruyama Daisuke, who had been shooting frequently in the first half for Bai Shui High.

However, how could Yukimiya Kazuma, in this state, possibly pass? The instant he brought the ball to the frontcourt, he spread his wings and took flight, making no adjustment whatsoever before releasing a three-pointer.

The basketball traced a rainbow arc through the air!

Swish!

A perfect swish!

Only after Yukimiya Kazuma completed his shot did Kitagawa's two big men finally lumber into position, panting heavily.

"Wow! Bai Shui High has picked up the pace; it's Yukimiya Kazuma's scoring mode!"
