Chapter 163: Vision and Spatial Awareness, Defense Behind!

"Akashi easily got past Yukimiya Kazuma!"the spectators in the stands exclaimed.

Sasame Akira, the former Teiko starting shooting guard, watched Yukimiya Kazuma with burning eyes and suddenly said, "No, something is off this time."

On the court.

Although Akashi Seijuro still did not know what Yukimiya Kazuma truly meant, since he had broken through, he no longer hesitated and began his ball-handling and shooting motion.

But just as he prepared to score with a shot, suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from behind.

A shadow gradually encroached from behind, blocking the Bai Chidengguang of the gymnasium dome, like a gloomy monster crawling out of hell, about to swallow Akashi Seijuro whole.

Shh!

The intense sense of crisis made him pull the ball back at the last possible moment, then, in a dead-ball state, he had no choice but to pass it out.

As expected.

The instant he passed the ball, an arm came down from over his head.

Undoubtedly.

If he had not stopped that shot just now, he would have been blocked by Yukimiya Kazuma for sure.

"Impressive, to react like that."

"But..."

"During the attack, you actually passed the ball~"

"Akashi."

Yukimiya Kazuma's voice sounded behind Akashi, seemingly surprised by Akashi's last-moment stop and pass, but the next moment, Yukimiya Kazuma changed his tone and said, "Your judgment on the block was indeed accurate, but was that pass choice really meant for that side?"

"What?"

Kise, who received Akashi's pass, first showed joy on his face, then, just like Akashi moments ago, his expression suddenly changed.

Because the instant he caught the ball, not only was Teruyama Daisuke, who had been guarding him, there to defend him, but Takehata Masaki, who had somehow abandoned Green, suddenly came over from the side to help defend.

If it were only the number 7 of White Water Hall in front of him, Kise was confident he could handle it freely, but with the addition of Takehata Masaki, who was 190 centimeters tall, and with only 3 seconds left on the attack clock...

Pa~

Pa~

Kise jumped and shot from the gap between the two defenders!

Clang~!

The ball hit the front rim of the basket and bounced out.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~!!!

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle ending the first quarter of the game!

The tense first quarter ended, letting everyone breathe a sigh of relief; Bai Shui Hall stubbornly maintained a 2-point lead at the critical moment.
