Chapter 215: What Kind of Bugs Are You? Going Around and Around Is So Annoying!

Aida Riko: "An Eagle's Eye like Iyuki's?"

No, that's not it…

The Eagle's Eye is an ability that lets you shift your viewpoint inside your brain to see the entire court, but Yukimiya Kazuma's reaction just now was way too fast!

It was as if there was no process of shifting viewpoints at all — he simply 'saw' it with his eyes.

Sigh!

Kise Ryota's copying…

Combined with Yukimiya Kazuma, are all this year's super rookies' abilities this unusual?

On the court.

Seirin passes the ball around.

The ball reached Hyuuga Junpei's hands.

Currently a mismatch — on Izumi Shinkan Academy's side, small forward Dakou Longzhi is defending Seirin's shooting guard Hyuuga Junpei.

However…

Compared to Seirin.

On Izumi Shinkan Academy's side, on perimeter defense, whether there's a mismatch basically doesn't matter.

Dakou Longzhi, He Xiuyang, Long Tian Zhang — 189, 186, 183, a perfect arithmetic progression in height, ready to switch and help at any moment against a pick-and-roll.

Hyuuga Junpei gathered his thoughts. Since Kuroko was being shut down.

Then…

*Snap*—!

He lowered his center of gravity and drove forward in one motion!

Dakou Longzhi watched closely, an idol-like smile on his face, and though facing the second-year upperclassman Hyuuga Junpei, he carried himself as if he were the one giving pointers.

Full of swagger.

"You want to take me on one-on-one?"

"Bring it on."

As a second-year upperclassman, Hyuuga Junpei found Dakou Longzhi's tone — like he was teaching a junior a lesson — extremely irritating. "You first-year brat!"

*Snap*—!

*Snap*—!

Even as Hyuuga Junpei spoke, his hands immediately threw in a crossover!

"Don't get too cocky!"

Yukimiya Kazuma quietly retreated to the free-throw line, maintaining his 'Wide-Range Defense' help position. In the 'Playmaker's' field of vision, he could clearly 'see' the situation on Dakou Longzhi's side.

He won't get past.

Since Dakou Longzhi had focused on training 'stealing a step' in offense and made that technique his weapon, it went without saying he was very confident in his speed.

Sure enough…

Dakou Longzhi's defense, backed by his speed, didn't give Hyuuga Junpei a single opening.

He even spoke unhurriedly:

"Your dribbling is fairly smooth."

"But the flaws are obvious."

"Too rigid."

"The force on your dribble is enough, but the speed of your footwork isn't fast enough."

"Can a drive with zero explosive speed even be called a drive?"

Dakou Longzhi stepped up to pressure, forcing Hyuuga Junpei to retreat step by step!

"Against high-pressure defense, your dribbling can only flusteringly switch to a post-up."

"A shooter-type player, huh?"

Hyuuga Junpei glared at Dakou Longzhi in fury, the veins on his forehead bulging!

This kid!

Talks way too much!

And that lecturing, preachy attitude — it's seriously annoying!

Seizing the chance, Hyuuga Junpei passed the ball to Seirin's current second scoring option, Takefuji Masaki, who was posting up under the basket calling for the ball.

"Got it!"

"Nice!"

"Takefuji can dunk it directly from this position!"

Takefuji Masaki roared, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and leaped into the air!

However…

The 'I Love Blocking Dunks' in Yukimiya Kazuma's system didn't trigger!

Although he was missing the Block Badge's bonus to blocking range, his high 'Help Defense' stat of 91.7 let him immediately calculate the distance and position he'd need to close through speed, jumping, and so on for this help defense.

Yukimiya Kazuma: "…"

It's not a dunk?

Masaki even used that against him — as expected of his old teammate.

Takefuji Masaki naturally knew nothing about the system, nor of the existence of a badge like 'I Love Blocking Dunks.'

He'd just been Yukimiya Kazuma's teammate for a long time, and from playing games together on the court, he'd observed the pattern that Yukimiya Kazuma's interior defense was especially 'fired up' when blocking dunks!

Jump!

Pull the lever!

Facing Tsuchiya Dahe's defense, Takefune Masaki tucked his abdomen mid-air to pull the ball, shielded it with his left hand, extended his right, and laid it up!

But he underestimated the defensive capability of Tsuchiya Dahe, a scoring-type interior player.

He also underestimated the further-improved 'speed' and 'help defense' of Yukimiya Kazuma compared to before.

Tsuchiya Dahe locked down the left position in mid-air, then made brief contact with Takefune Masaki while airborne, forcing him to shift to the right.

Tsuchiya knew that reaching this point was enough; from here on...

The Xuegong Society will resolve the opponent!
