Chapter 278: A heavy-duty truck at full throttle came charging!

~6 min read 1,022 words

It was Seisenkan's turn, and He Xiuyang pushed the ball forward with possession.

Takao Kazumi, defending him, let out a slight pant.

This person...

Whether in offense or defense, his choices were exceptionally stable.

Clearly playing as a point guard, he didn't consider the effect of receiving the ball at all; he focused solely on whether the pass could reach its target, giving opponents absolutely no chance to steal the ball.

Takao Kazumi rushed to defend, and He Xiuyang immediately twisted his body, adopting a side-to-back stance to shield the ball firmly behind him, while using his 186-centimeter height advantage to survey the front, bumped shoulders once without getting entangled, and immediately sent the ball out.

Yukimiya Kazuma received the ball at the three-point line, briefly observed Tsuchiya Dahe's current position and status, then chose the guidance method of 'Passing Master · Link' based on the observed information.

It was still a shot, a rapid mid-range release, the shooting motion as fast as a firecracker instantly ignited!

Swish~ "Seven-One-Zero"!

The shot went in.

"Beautiful, Tsuchiya!"

"Very good!"

"We'll score one back too!"

"Great pass, Yukimiya!"

Tsuchiya Dahe's consecutive goals indicated that Seisenkan's plan had no flaws.

This meant Yukimiya could save stamina, be freed up, and focus exclusively on tightly guarding Midorima and Tsuboi Taisho.

You see, Midorima Shintaro and Tsuboi Taisho, having to simultaneously cover these two players inside and out, could only be handled by Yukimiya Kazuma; especially with Midorima Shintaro, a monster who scores whenever his form isn't broken, even for Yukimiya, it was a huge drain on stamina.

Therefore, for others to be able to score was a crucial part of this match.

And there was a way to break through Yukimiya's such help-defense capability.

But Shutoku would not do this.

That would be using the threat of Midorima's full-court three-point ability to keep Yukimiya Kazuma stuck in the backcourt like a bot; no matter how strong Yukimiya Kazuma's help-defense capability was, it would be impossible to span the full court to help defend Tsuboi Taisho.

But in that case, Shutoku would shift to abandoning Midorima as an option and instead betting on offense.

Although they could avoid Yukimiya by relying on Tsuboi Taisho to draw double teams and attack.

But to bet on shooting percentage...

Seisenkan had Yukimiya's 'Passing Master', and once they didn't have to run back and forth for help defense, Yukimiya Kazuma could release more stamina on the offensive end.

So Shutoku would absolutely not make such a choice; besides, the current Midorima did not have the resolve to sacrifice himself to create scoring opportunities for teammates.

But all the logic viewed from Seisenkan's side had to be based on one point.

That was...

Whether Yukimiya could restrain Midorima.

Although Midorima had just successfully scored a three-pointer in front of Yukimiya Kazuma by relying on a series of screens from teammates, not a single person on Seisenkan had the slightest doubt about whether Yukimiya could defend against Midorima.

On the court.

Midorima, who was constantly watching Yukimiya Kazuma's movements, couldn't help but frown slightly upon seeing that Yukimiya had only been standing near the free-throw line 'dealing cards' from the start of the game until now.

"Yukimiya."

"What are you thinking?"

"You wouldn't be arrogant enough to think you can win against me with just this kind of passing, would you?"

Yukimiya Kazuma glanced at the opponent, then shook his head.

Obviously.

Midorima, saying such words, must subconsciously believe that he couldn't lock down his three-point shot.

Without the ability to lock down his three-point shot, let alone his 'Passing Master', even if he himself went all out, he couldn't compete.

After all, his cheat was too big.

100% shooting percentage.

"To win against you, I must rely on defense; you wouldn't not know this."

"So..."

"Ignoring this point and challenging you on offense implies you assume I can't stop you, right?"

"You are too arrogant, Midorima."

Hearing this, Midorima's brow furrowed even tighter.

Yukimiya Kazuma didn't say much more to him.

In the next possession, Shutoku's offense continued with the same old trick.

After a series of cuts, Midorima passed through the 'elevator doors' constructed by Tsuboi Taisho and Kimura Shinji.

Then the next second.

Yukimiya Kazuma's counter to this situation was...

Receive, Neutralize, Release!

Master Baoguo at Lv3, his aura radiating like a demon king!

Tsuboi Taisho and Kimura Shinji, in that instant, seemed to see a human face condensed from black demonic mist behind Yukimiya Kazuma!

Sparse hair, wrinkles knotted and twisted!

Boom~!

Yukimiya Kazuma charged into the gap between the double screen.

Tsuboi and Kimura decisively shifted their center of gravity forward to block, wanting to stop Yukimiya Kazuma's follow-up, but just then, both of them stiffened, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

How to describe it?

It couldn't be said their block was futile; it could only be said the effect was minimal.

The instant he made contact with Yukimiya Kazuma, Taihei Oohira felt as though he had been rammed head-on by a heavy-duty truck running at full throttle; no matter how solid the wall he and Kimura had built, it could not stop the destructive force of the opponent's impact.. 0

Taihei Oohira: "..."

What kind of joke is this!

Even though the opponent had aimed for the weakest point in the middle of their two-man cover, could it be that he was losing in a contest of strength? And this was against the combined power of him and Kimura Shinji!

In the blink of an eye.

Yukimiya Kazuma had already burst through the cover, forcing his way straight between Taihei Oohira and Kimura Shinji!

Although he was slightly delayed for an instant.

But...

It was already enough!

The moment he broke through the cover, Yukimiya Already leaped fiercely, his Lv4 'I Love Jump Shots' truly like a bird spreading its wings!

Then...

A soft 'snap' sound~!

In Midorima's shocked gaze, Yukimiya Kazuma had very clearly disrupted the ball's trajectory in mid-air!

In an instant...

Only the sound of the ball smashing against the rim, emitting a 'clang' of vibration!

Tsuchiya Dahe immediately rushed up to grab the rebound.
