Chapter 264: Saw No Crown, Only a King!
Whether it was an illusion or not, in that instant, Kagami Makoto seemed to see a white bird with spread wings behind Yukimiya Kazuma.
Standing before Yukimiya Kazuma, Kagami Makoto guarded very closely to prevent a pull-up jump shot, while his hand had already reached out toward the ball.
Regardless, for a player of such a tall build, dribbling with his back turned was one thing, but facing him so recklessly like this, not even lowering his center of gravity.
How could he possibly fail to steal it?
Yet the next second.
Yukimiya Kazuma simply strolled forward, facing Kagami Makoto directly.
And easily dodged the opponent's steal attempt, his reaction speed being absurdly fast.
Kagami Makoto: "!?"
How is that possible?!
From Kagami Makoto's speaking style just now, the teammates of Izunomiya High already knew that Yukimiya must have entered that strange state again.
That state with an extremely vicious attitude and terrifying ability.
Moreover, judging by the reaction just now, it was a type Yukimiya had not used since the start of the match; the teammates called it 'Monster Reflex'.
Long Tian Zhang, watching Yukimiya Kazuma dribble with effortless grace while turning Kagami Makoto's continuous pressure into Futile Effort, could not help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.
It was simply playing the opponent in circles.
And the opponent was one of the Five Generals.
At the top of the key, Kagami Makoto could not touch the ball; he could feel that his defense was purely dodged by Yukimiya Kazuma through sheer on-court reaction.
Watching this scene on the court, all the spectators in the venue could not help but let out exclamations of shock.
Compared to violent dunks or blocks.
This scene right now.
Thanks to Yukimiya Kazuma's height, it was actually even more impactful.
That effortless ball handling; facing a point guard with a better center of gravity advantage who was pressing him frantically, he could still maintain the elegance of his dribbling.
This was something many players, and even spectators, had fantasized about.
"His reaction is too fast!"
"It looks like there are no special techniques, just pure reaction speed...?"
"How is that possible?!"
"Even if you can react, you need ball-handling ability to support it; otherwise, what's the use of just reacting?"
"That's... too exaggerated."
Pat~
Pat~
Pat~
Yukimiya Kazuma controlled the ball.
It looked like Kagami Makoto was applying defensive pressure on Yukimiya every time.
But in reality, everyone in the arena could feel that no matter how Kagami Makoto tried to steal, under Yukimiya Kazuma's super-fast reaction dribbling, it was absolutely impossible to get the ball.
Just then.
Yukimiya Kazuma revealed a slight smile.
After a between-the-legs dribble, he suddenly looked up at the basket, and Kagami Makoto's movement suddenly froze!
After crossing over, Yukimiya Kazuma's vision could 'see' Kagami Makoto behind him; then, facing Haruno Kazuya's help defense, Yukimiya casually said:
"Heh~"
"Too weak."
"With a reaction like that, what kind of spider are you?"
At the same time.
He looked up again.
This time adding the ball-gathering motion with his hands.
Haruno Kazuya: "!"
Is it a fake move again...
Damn it!
I can only jump first!
Haruno Kazuya had no time to think much, because Kirisaki Daiichi had analyzed the previous match and Yukimiya Kazuma's pull-up jump shot; immediately, he threw himself into the block with all his might.
However...
At the instant Haruno Kazuya jumped, touching the 'Startled String' guarded by the bird, in an instant, the half-gathered ball, which is hard to react to in a normal state, suddenly changed its motion at that critical point bordering on the limit.
It instantly became a truly terrifying fake move.
"As expected..."
"One after another, they are all trash."
Yukimiya Kazuma passed another person, from getting past Kagami Makoto to getting past Haruno Kazuya.
A glance upward, a crossover.
Extremely cool.
Clang~!
In the empty restricted area, Yukimiya Kazuma leaped forward with his center of gravity leaning, gliding away; with the thunderous sound of the dunk, his whole body hung on the rim with one hand!
The spectator stands.
Tomoki Imayoshi of Touou, seeing Yukimiya Kazuma go all out for the first time.
Imayoshi Shoichi: "..."
That ball-handling style built around superhuman reaction speed, with every movement compressed to the absolute extreme, is practically the polar opposite of Facing Qingfeng's wild and flashy dribbling style.
But without a doubt...
They're all monster-level strong.
Come to think of it...
