Chapter 265

He's going all out, right?

He moved with such leisurely ease that Aomine Daiki momentarily hesitated to be sure, especially given that Yukimiya Kazuma displayed physical abilities no less than Facing Qingfeng's.

Truly unexpected...

Facing Qingfeng's attitude was no joke; someone could actually be his opponent, and one who excelled at both offense and defense!

The Unkrowned King?

He saw no crown, only a king.

Aomine Daiki couldn't help but glance at the Facing Qingfeng beside him; on the latter's face, as expected, was an excitement he had never seen before, entirely different from during usual training or matches.

·· 0 flowers 0 ·········

During middle school, Hanamiya Makoto, who had never received a single negative comment from anyone, had his true nature uncovered by Aomine Daiki himself; regarding insight into human hearts, Aomine Daiki could be called the ceiling among all high school players.

So...

At Touou, besides Momoi, only he could understand Facing Qingfeng's state of mind, seeking a rival in solitude.

Though he always said things like "There is no one stronger than me," Aomine Daiki knew very well that Facing Qingfeng desperately craved an opponent.

He was conflicted; while certain of his own supremacy, he seemed to hope for defeat; that was the loneliness felt from being too powerful.

But...

There was no choice, was there?

Aomine Daiki came back to his senses.

.... 0....

Thinking of the "true Facing Qingfeng" he had once seen by chance.

That Facing Qingfeng...

Even the Unkrowned King currently on the court would surely not be a match.

……

On the court.

As expected.

Hanamiya Makoto was utterly exploded by Yukimiya Kazuma's focused assault.

Facing Qingfeng's ability "Spider Web" was useless against a Yukimiya Kazuma who passed not a single ball, playing from start to finish.

From the end of the second quarter, to the start of the second half, until the middle of the third quarter.

This Yukimiya Kazuma, unleashing his full firepower, sacrificed a considerable portion of his defense while continuously pushing the ball up the court, combined with "Monster Immersion" one-on-one play, consuming significant stamina.

But...

He let all the spectators in the venue witness what top-tier firepower was.

86:33.

The increase in the score gap even far exceeded the first quarter when Yukimiya Kazima fully maintained "Ultra-Wide Range Defense"; after all, his shooting percentage was far higher than his teammates'.

A terrifying 90%, almost equivalent to the average value of the scoring-related attributes in Yukimiya Kazuma's panel.

This meant the opponent had failed to provide him with any effective defense.

Kirisaki Daiichi had been completely silenced.

Until...

Every time they attempted a switch, Hanamiya Makoto, whom Yukimiya Kazuma had dragged back through pick-and-rolls, approached with a gloomy expression.

"..."

Tsk.

If this continues, we won't even make it to the next round.

Being discovered doesn't matter...

Having so much fun playing.

There must be a price to pay eventually, Yukimiya-kun! Nine.
