Chapter 171

……

"The second period starts immediately with a showdown between the aces of Yukimiya and Facing Qingfeng?"

"This is only natural; apart from that ace player, no one else in Bai Shui Hall has any chance of competing against the Generation of Miracles."

Yukimiya Kazuma stood in a triple-threat stance opposite Facing Qingfeng; the opponent's defense, due to the presence of 'Beast', felt overwhelmingly oppressive, yet it clearly lacked the decisive, fatal threat of Akashi's 'Emperor Eye'.

Pat~

Pat~

The 'Passing Control Master', unsuitable for excessive use before Akashi, could now gradually unleash its power; yet even so, facing Facing Qingfeng in this state, Yukimiya had no intention of surpassing him.

Against Facing Qingfeng, the only thing capable of competing with him was 'Monster Immersion: Asuka'; thus, under the tight 673 defense of Aomine Daiki, Yukimiya retreated instead of advancing, executed a crossover step, followed by a step-back, and initiated a pump fake!

A fake move...

Facing Qingfeng paused for an instant.

Yukimiya Kazuma hesitated not a moment; immediately, 'Asuka' spread its wings, but in that very instant, the phantom shadow of a black panther behind Aomine Daiki flashed faintly, then suddenly leaped out; in the blink of an eye, it was actually matching the height of Yukimiya's shot, side by side.

"So fast!"

Whether the spectators in the stands outside the court, or the two competing teams, Bai Shui Hall and Teiko, were all stunned by Facing Qingfeng's sudden block; since 'Monster Immersion: Asuka' appeared in the All-Japan Tournament, Facing Qingfeng was the first person capable of keeping up with such a shot.

Even Akashi, with the 'Emperor Eye' exerted to its full extent, seeing only to the very limit of what he could perceive, could only act in advance to intercept at the point of the catch.

You must know.

Every human action cannot be performed at will.

Any movement, at its beginning, must undergo a process of acceleration.

This is also why, during a match, players often feel their bodies cannot keep up with their neural reactions.

Yet whether it was Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Monster Immersion: Asuka' or Facing Qingfeng's innate super-agility, they seemed to have forcibly erased this law through talent alone.

Indeed, Facing Qingfeng was even slightly faster, for after being frozen for an instant by the pump fake, he completed the entire blocking motion almost simultaneously with Yukimiya Kazuma's shot.

But...

Swish!

The basketball traced a graceful arc in mid-air, then with a 'swish', fell into the basket.
