Chapter 157: Rubbing, Rubbing, It's the Devil's Step~!

Bai Shui Gymnasium vs Teikou.

The score on the court.

12:16!

'Dengxiawo Society will make you see your future.'

Akashi did not break his word; after exchanging several blows with Yukimiya Kazuma, Akashi successfully stole the ball from Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Monster Immersion: Asuka' for the first time.

And for the first time, he reversed the score to a four-point lead, whereas before breaking the 'Monster Immersion', the point difference between the two sides had been hovering around two points.

But...

Yukimiya's expression remained completely unmoved.

Bai Shui Gymnasium launched an attack.

Haru Hiroyu dribbled past the midcourt; on the surface, Bai Shui Gymnasium's formation appeared unchanged, yet at a certain moment, the audience on site suddenly realized that Yukimiya Kazuma and Takeno Masaki had swapped positions at some point.

Takeno Masaki stood outside the restricted area, clearly intentionally leaving 1v1 space for the inside, while Yukimiya Kazuma, along with Teikou's Atsushi Murasakibara, was positioned under the basket.

Haru Hiroyu hesitated not a second; he suddenly passed the ball to Takeno Masaki, who then passed it to Yukimiya Kazuma. The two passes were extremely close, almost hand-to-hand, forming a line that effectively avoided the steal from the Emperor's Eye, successfully sending the ball into the hands of Yukimiya Kazuma inside the paint.

Akashi paused for a moment then, but did not choose to continue driving to the basket. 20

First, Atsushi Murasakibara was stationed under the basket, which was reassuring enough; second, he truly could not defend there.

And this was Yukimiya Kazuma's purpose; on the defensive end, Akashi could indeed actively switch with teammates to find him, but the premise was on the outside; only on the outside did Akashi's Emperor's Eye have enough space to target the opponent's dribbling and shooting operations.

But under the basket.

Holding the ball with both hands for a dunk, or a back-to-the-basket post-up hook shot.

The former, holding the ball with both hands followed by a dunk, leaves no slack or tightness in the hands, relying purely on brute force to bull through without giving a chance to steal; the latter, a back-to-the-basket post-up hook shot, never exposes the ball to the opponent.

Such a power struggle under the basket, or a close-range back-to-the-basket attack on the rim, are not things the Emperor's Eye can solve.

But the problem now is that, although he has shaken off the Emperor's Eye.

There is still a monster inside.

Atsushi Murasakibara!

However, very soon...

Yukimiya Kazuma gave an answer to everyone in the audience who held doubts in their hearts.

The next second.

A figure much smaller than Atsushi's, holding the ball with one hand near the basket, did not drop the ball.

Snow-white hair fluttering~

A fake~

Left~

Right~

Left~

Lowered Voice, lowering the center of gravity and probing forward with a low hand, a layup!

Atsushi's expression tightened slightly; he was almost faked into jumping.

A shot fake!

Grabbing the ball and pulling it back!

Shoulders faking left and right!

Then, after the series of actions from receiving the ball to now concluded, Yukimiya finally dropped the ball!

A hop step!

Landing sideways, simultaneously pivoting on both feet!

In that instant...

Yukimiya Kazuma could choose either foot as the pivot foot, while Atsushi, due to the hop step following that continuous series of fakes, was faked out by that sudden moment of jumping.

The vision of the 'Passing and Control Master' allowed Yukimiya, while facing away from Atsushi, to perfectly choose the space farthest from Atsushi.

Pivoting on the right foot...

A turn!

'Monster Immersion: Asuka' shot!
