Chapter 172: Yukimiya vs Facing Qingfeng, The Edge of Stalemate!

Bai Shui vs Teiko, the on-court score is 31:32.

With this three-pointer sinking, the gap between Bai Shui and Teiko officially entered the one-point range.

"What?"

"No way?"

"Qingfeng actually didn't block that shot?"

When Yukimiya's shot went straight through the net, everyone's eyes instantly widened.

Especially the many teams on-site that had once been completely broken by Qingfeng, their faces were filled with shock, unable to believe that Yukimiya Kazuma actually scored in a 1v1 duel under Qingfeng's defense.

At the same time, Yukimiya Kazuma landed, brushed back the hair disheveled by the rapid ascent and descent, turned his head to look at Qingfeng, and the negative emotions of Asuka exploded: "What kind of defense? Hm? Qingfeng?"

"Truly capable..."

"Yukimiya."

"Qingfeng clearly matched the timing of Yukimiya's shot, so how could he fail to block it?"

"Because Qingfeng didn't jump high enough."

Sasame Akira came to his senses then and explained.

"The reason Qingfeng failed to block is simple: his jump height was not higher than Yukimiya's release point; that's all."

Qingfeng excels in speed and explosiveness; although his jumping ability is also quite good, at least higher than Yukimiya Kazuma's normal-state 87.2 jump, just as Yukimiya, after triggering 'I Love Blocking Dunks', could compete with Midorima in block height, 'Monster Immersion·Asuka' similarly provides a huge bonus in height.

Otherwise, how could it be called 'Asuka'.

"How can this be? Even Senior Qingfeng can't stop that monster?"

Teiko's substitute players all felt a chill run down their spines; the last time they had such a feeling was when the Generation of Miracles' third-years all appeared together in the same match for the first time.

But today, watching Yukimiya Kazuma single-handedly withstand the Generation of Miracles in rotation, everyone felt their body hair stand on end again, even more intensely than that day.

Dribbling past mid-court.

Aomine Daiki didn't even notice that he had unknowingly seized Akashi's authority to control the ball past half-court and distribute it; soon, in Bai Shui's half-court, a 1v1 situation with Yukimiya Kazuma formed again.

"That last shot was great; I won't hold back either."

Qingfeng wasn't angry that he hadn't stopped Yukimiya Kazuma; on the contrary, his mood was now the best it had been in nearly a year, almost to the point of bursting into laughter.

The two were 1v1 again.

Hmm...

To be precise, Yukimiya was 1v1 against Qingfeng, while Qingfeng against Yukimiya...

Who knows how many more he has left behind.

Qingfeng's breakthrough speed was still outrageous; with an exaggerated behind-the-back dribble, he arrived at Yukimiya Kazuma's left side. Compared to the previous breakthrough, Yukimiya clearly felt that Qingfeng's speed had increased by several points.

Before, when he reacted and chased up, Qingfeng had only broken ahead by one step, but this time he was already ahead by nearly two steps.

Even...

Under Yukimiya's command, Liang Huayin, who had retreated early into the paint waiting for help defense, jumped to block, yet Qingfeng Daiki, still surging forward at high speed, suddenly performed a drifting layup maneuver in mid-air.

Yukimiya Kazuma's eyes lit up; at the instant Qingfeng was about to shoot, he reached out from behind and swiped to block Qingfeng's layup hand.

However, his hand swept through...

Empty?

It was the Unfixed Form Shot!

Seeing the green peak in the air, his body suddenly tilted to the other side, and he recklessly flung the ball out in a wildly unorthodox manner!

Clang~!

31:34!

After landing, Qingfeng turned his head to glance at Yukimiya Kazuma behind him; infected by 'Monster Immersion', Yukimiya's trash talk immediately opened fire:

"Where's the defense? ‖!"

"Can't see it?"

"Yukimiya!"

Yukimiya Kazuma, face cold, said, "You're talking too loudly, Qingfeng. This isn't your style; let's decide the winner with basketball, like before."

Compared to the relatively 'effective' defense Qingfeng had just attempted, Yukimiya, relying on his teammates' help, still couldn't stop Qingfeng; visually, Qingfeng's offense undoubtedly ignited the crowd's emotions even more.

"Qingfeng's signature reckless shot!"

"So strong; even Yukimiya Kazuma can't stop him!"

"He could block at least one shot against Midorima and Akashi."

"Truly the ace of the 'Generation of Miracles'."

However, before the spectators could cheer for long, they saw Bai Shui immediately pass the ball out; receiving the ball, Yukimiya crossed the three-point line and, in the long two-point zone, began the second round of offense.

'Monster Immersion·Asuka' has no shooting percentage bonus; the smooth anti-steal adjustment and the bird-like stable, high release point under interference are all technique.

Whether it goes in or not, besides the final level of interference given by the opponent, the only factor is the height of the shooting attribute.

But with 'mid-range' and 'three-pointer' having almost identical values, their shooting percentages differ; after all, the noble 'three-pointer' of modern basketball requires a higher attribute value to achieve the same shooting percentage as the 'mid-range'.

So, after confirming just now that Qingfeng could match his shooting rhythm, Yukimiya decisively chose the mid-range shot with the higher shooting percentage for this attempt.

"Do you think I'll let you shoot so easily again?! Yukimiya!"

Qingfeng and Daiki rushed up immediately and jumped to block.

Facing Qingfeng's block, Yukimiya still released the ball toward the basket with a breathtakingly ultra-high-speed shot; this time, however, Qingfeng's block was only one hand's width away.

The basketball, like a rainbow, descended, traced a beautiful arc in the air, and then pierced straight through Teiko's hoop.

Swish!

33:34!
